"I found someone. I think she's still alive! Hurry, rush her to the Leaf hospital before were too late, and tell the hokage!"
One of the ninja lifted her frail blood drenched body into his arms and nodded before departing only to arrive at the hospital minutes later running her inside. He quickly explained the situation before the medical ninja took her to the examination room to help heal the vital wounds.
*****
"The medics finished their examination sir. They said she was in bad condition but will return back to normal in a matter of time, she's in a hospital room resting as we speak."
"Well done, you are to return to your duties at once, she just needs to rest."
the ninja nodded before departing once again to search for any more survivors the hokage walked to the girl's room pausing looking at the door "why were just two children left alive?" he wondered silently.
The next morning the hokage had summoned some of the students who were starting the ninja academy. Hoping one of them would know , Sakura, Kiba, Hinata, Choji, and Shikimaru were all standing in the young girl's room.''You summoned us old man?" Naruto asked
"I did. This girl was found alive in a destroyed Uchiha village she seemed to be the only survivor other than Sasuke who as you know was unharmed. I called you all here to see if you know who she is, or if you have seen her before."
The young ninja exchanged glances and shook their heads.
"Haven't seen her before sir, but her scent is a little familiar" Kiba stated.
"Well she does kind of look familiar but can't say I know her" said Sakura.
Everyone muttered amongst themselves in agreement.
"Hmm Well since it seems no one knows who she is..." started the hokage but was cut off by the awakened girl.
"W-where am I? Why are you here?"
Everyone turned toward her, "You are in the Leaf Village young lady."
"How did I get to the hospital... where are my parents?" she asked.
"I'm sorry but your village was attacked. Your parents and everyone you know, are dead you were the only other survivor.
She looked in shock "they're dead?" she looked up at the hokage tears rolling down her cheeks. "Why can't I remember it? When did this happen?"
"You mean you can't remember your mom or dad?" Sakura interrupted the girl shook her head.
"All I remember is that I'm Katsuko Uchiha. I belonged to a wonderful clan, I can't remember its name, its all so hazy and I can't even remember any of my friends."
The hokage nodded slowly. "I see, well the Leaf Village will be your home." he said with a smile before leaving.
Katsuko replied with a slight nod.
"What are you idiots doing?"
Naruto looked at the figure standing in the doorway "Oh hey Sasuke, why are you here?"
He stared coldly at Naruto, ''The hokage summoned us right."
Katsuko looked over at the boy "Sasuke..? Why does that sound familiar?"
He glanced over at her "Who's that?"
"Katsuko, she's a surviving member of her clan, but can't remember hardly anything." Kiba stated.
"Clan..? the one attacked late last night?"Sasuke asked suddenly intrigued.
"Yes. I believe so" she replied, he started to walk over to her but Naruto got in his way.
"Why do you care all of a sudden hmm Sasuke I don't want a jerk like you messing with someone who just learned her parents and loved one's are dead!"
Sasuke ignored Naruto shouldering him out of the way Sakura scolding him of bring such and idiot "Katsuko. I'm Sasuke Uchiha"
Shikimaru sighed "Guys this is a drag... so I'm going home nice meeting you Katsuko, see you guys later, you coming Choji?" he nodded, followed by Kiba
"seems like they need to talk...lets go Hinata."
"O-okay! b-bye naruto.." she mumbled shyly as a blush spread across her cheeks.
"Uh yeah bye Hinata'' He replied
"Naruto, you should leave to." The blonde crossed his arms in annoyance
"Oh yeah and why should I listen to you Sasuke!"
"Sakura, take Naruto and get out." he demanded she hesitated
"But...alright.." grabbing Naruto by the ear she dragged him out of the room leaving Sasuke and Katsuko alone.
"This clan of yours, tell me what you remember about it" Katsuko thought"um..I cant remember anything really..."
"You do know what the clan crest is right."
she nodded "It's a blur but I think I do"
Sasuke turned around so the crest on his back was facing her "a blur."
she gasped stumbling out of bed only for her legs to give way. Expecting to hit the cold hard floor she was caught and was being held in Sasuke's arms.
"you shouldn't move too much or your wounds will re-open, don't be such an idiot." Katsuko smiled "Right..."
he laid her down back in her bed "Another Uchiha..that means there are only three of us left."
"Three? Isn't it just you and I?" she asked confused
He shook his head "No...The one who slaughtered our clan and our loved ones was my brother Itachi Uchiha. He must have thought he killed you, or left you alive for a reason." he looked over to see her hands balled into fist.
"Itachi Uchiha..." she said
"Don't get so worked up Katsuko you're too weak to do anything anyway so just save me some trouble and stay out of it! got that?"
Katsuko met his gaze "I'm not weak, and I'm not going to let you I want revenge to!"Sasuke smirked "tch, like a girl as week as you could help me kill the man who slaughtered our clan, you already owe me for helping you so you wouldn't hurt yourself you know. I will make you return the favor somehow." he said as he turned to leave "Wait! You're just going to leave?!" Sasuke grinned "aw does someone not want me to?" he teased "tch, you'll see plenty of me." He stated walking out the door.
Katsuko's POV
The nurse walked in with my medicine and breakfast setting it down on my nightstand before quickly leaving to tend to other patients. "Okay she's gone" I slowly got up, heavily leaning on the bed frame, and grabbed fresh bandages to dress my wounded torso, arms, and legs. "This Itachi guy really did me in..."
"Are you trying to stay in the hospital?" said a cold toned voice
"Look Sasuke, I'm fine!" I said turning towards him and with turtle-like slowness I hobbled to the window he was sitting at.
"See" he rolled his eyes "idiot... But if you say you are then come up to the roof"
"What if I fall?" I asked looking down from the window. In a mocking tone he replied
"I thought you were just fine?" I flashed him a glare "I am!"
"Then you shouldn't have a problem"
knowing I could barely move I got up on the window sill and took a step before my legs failing me once again. Sasuke pushed my stomach, avoiding the wound, making me fall back into his lap
"You can not stop falling for me can you..." he said sighing
"Ha! Who would fall for a jerk like you" he smirked picking me up bridal style
"well you did, twice now actually so that's two favors."
He claimed awkwardly lying me back down in my bed sitting with his knees on either side of me.
"I would've been fine Sasuke." I retorted crossing my arms. He leaned closer to me
"That's pretty big talk for someone who almost fell from four stories up, especially one who's fine. If I didn't help you you'd be on the ground in worse condition than you are now."
"Aw was someone worried about me?" he gave me a death glare grabbing my shirt yanking me closer about to give a comeback, as nurse walked in
"Oh! I hope I'm not interrupting anything!"
we both realized our faces were centimeters away Sasuke fell back onto my bed as I scooted backwards. The nurse giggled
"aw how cute."
"WE'RE NOT CUTE!" we yelled in unison, I crossed my arms, "you know this is all your fault" he was about to respond but figured it would just make things worse he got off the bed
"...Why am I wasting my time. I have better things to do than sit here and argue with a girl." he commented before leaving.
"What a jerk." The nurse sat there awkwardly "so..Katsuko, did you eat and take your medicine?"
I looked over at untouched tray and sighing "no ma'am" she came over and sat down; I took a bite of my breakfast as she asked "Are you two a couple?"
I almost choked on my food "What! Why would you think that! He's a total jerk!" I retorted with my mouth full.
"Well it looked like you were about to kiss!" The nurse giggled.
My face went red "NO you've got it all wrong!"
The nurse just laughed and walked out saying "Okay, if you say so!"
