Author's Note: Hi, kids! D it's fanfic time! Yeah, I /finally/ had a chance to actually write something… the school year's been super-busy. This one's not very good, but I had the urge to post it. It's really predictable, and… yeah. Please review & enjoy. Don't forget to do the same to my other fics! Peace & love.
Hatake Kakashi sat on a large rock protruding from the dirt in a forest. The bright moon and glittering stars lit the area and danced in the sky. His eyes were closed and his mask was slipped halfway off his face. With each breath, a small puff of vapor escaped his lips and disappeared into the shimmering night sky.
All was calm, all was bright.
The silver-haired jounin finally opened his eyes and adjusted his mask. He then rose from his comfortable seat and began to stroll through the woods. It was a beautiful night, and it was just what Kakashi needed after a grueling mission and having to leave his 3-man cell for a short time.
He had been asked to embark on a dangerous mission and couldn't refuse. However, he had to leave Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura for a week. When he finally returned, Naruto and Sakura were overjoyed to see him safe and sound. But there was one thing – rather, someone – missing.
Sasuke.
Sasuke was gone.
Neither Sakura nor Naruto knew where he had disappeared off to, all they knew was that he had been gone for a little less than two days. Kakashi vowed to begin the search for the missing genin as soon as the sun rose, but in the meantime, he would take a well-deserved break. Besides, Sasuke was always running off. Kakashi was certain he'd be back soon enough.
As he continued his leisurely pace, Kakashi breathed the crisp air in deeply. The Konoha skies were never more beautiful. Inhaling another breath of air, he froze.
Something didn't smell right.
The smell of a coppery substance burned his nostrils. Eye narrowed in cautious alarm, he began to follow the intriguing scent deep into the foliage.
Expecting to find a dead animal, or perhaps an enemy ninja, Kakashi stopped in a small clearing. The smell of blood was even heavier in the air than it had been before. A rustle in the nearby bushes caused Kakashi to draw a kunai from his holster.
"Who's there?" He yelled loudly, scanning the area.
He received no reply, but instead, a strangled coughing sound.
Without another moment's hesitation, he darted forward and parted the leaves of the bushes, fully expecting an enemy.
But the grotesque sight that awaited him was even worse than an enemy.
It was Sasuke.
The dark-haired Uchiha's hands were stacked atop one another and a kunai was plunged through them, pinning them to the trunk of a tree. A line of dried blood trailed down his arms. Barbed wire had been wrapped tightly around his throat and arms, binding him and cutting into his skin. Blood oozed from where the wire cut into his neck, also making it hard for him to breathe. Short, labored gasps were his pitiful excuses for breathing. Rough needles had been shoved coarsely into his eyes. Whoever had done this was clearly trying to rid the boy if his eyesight – and his Sharingan. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. Sasuke was blinded and slumped helplessly against the tree in a pool of his own blood.
Kakashi's eyes widened in horror.
