Musical Inspiration for this Chapter: "Send Me On My Way" by Rusted Root

Chapter 1- Wake Up Call

Sasuke

Pain.

That was the first thing that entered in my mind as the senbon needles pierced his skin. But despite the pain, I couldn't let out a scream. It died in my throat the moment that he saw the blood, my blood. The pain was soon replaced with numbness and great fatigue. But I can't sleep, not now when I have too much to do. The sounds of groans were made from the Masked Kid. At least I defeated him, no thanks to the Dobe. Uzumaki Naruto, the number 1 idiot of Konohagakure no Sato, was stirring behind me, finally recovering from the senbon needles that he inflicted. I knew that he could see what I did without his help, not that I needed it or anything.

"No matter how many times I warn you Dobe, you still keep getting in my way," I mused aloud.

"Sasuke! You…," the loud idiot began before he trailed off. I could feel his eyes on my back and could almost see the expression on his face.

"Now get that stupid look off your idiotic face you dumb ass," I weakly commanded, looking over my shoulder. The slightest movements hurt like hell but I ignored it.

Then the Dobe had to ask the most obvious question that made me cringe at the stupidity of it.

"Why?"

Memories flashed in front of my eyes of what has happened to the both of us and I knew that he saw it too. Why the hell did he have to ask that?

"I used to hate you, you know," I began, trying to find the answer myself.

"Why, why did you? Why…me…? You should have minded your own damn business!" he yelled.

"How should I know?" I retorted quickly, trying to ignore the wetness pooling in my eyes. "My body…just moved…on its own Dobe."

As I fell backwards, I remembered that moment when I jumped in front of him. It was instinct, I couldn't control my movements. It was like someone else was moving for me. Just as I thought that would hit the stone, I felt Naruto catching me, his calloused fingers on my face. Normally, I demand that he would get the hell off but today was different.

Today was my last day.

"I swore I wouldn't die until I killed him…my aniki…I thought that the oath would save me…but…," I trailed off, letting the words come out on their own.

"Don't you dare die."

And with that, with that last command, I closed my eyes and let myself slip away to join the other Uchiha. I have a lot of explaining to do.

The first thing I heard was tears.

They came from a pink haired girl, a fan girl of mine, named Haruno Sakura. She was the smartest kunoichi in the class but totally sucked at fighting.

She also weighed a lot surprisingly.

But wait, I was dead. How could feel the tears and the weight of my teammate?

"Sakura, you're heavy," were the first things that came out of my mouth. In the back of my mind, I noticed that my voice was a little higher pitched than normal. The reasoning was that the senbon had damaged my vocal cords and I ignored it.

Sakura shot up from my chest and cried even more. She pulled me into a hug which irritated my wounds even more.

"Sasuke-kun…," she mumbled.

"Sakura, that hurts," I protested in which she complied. And with that, I came to the conclusion that I lived. For some reason or another, the Masked Kid had let me lived. Sakura wiped away her tears before replying.

"Gomen Sasuke-kun. Let's get you up," she said with a slight smile. She pulled me up and leaned a bit on her. I guess that the Mask Kid was merciful. That's when I noticed something.

I was a little shorter than Sakura.

As I tried to rationalize on why I was shorter, since I was taller than Dobe and her, my brain registered that Sakura had called to Naruto, who was towards the incomplete part of the bridge. The idiot had tears in eyes I observed and I raised my hand to give a small wave. I could see the smile from all the way here.

"That Naruto, he can convince a killer to help the village," Sakura stated with a smile.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Some way or another, Zabuza had turned to help us but at the cost of his own life," she quickly explained.

"And that kid?" I demanded.

"Kakashi-sensei killed him. It was an accident for he jumped in front of Sensei's jutsu to save Zabuza," she answered quietly. I sucked in a breath, well, as well as I could, at this news. Despite all the training we received at the Academy to prepare ourselves for this, it didn't help. Even though I didn't see it happen, I could guess on what happened…

"Hey Sasuke-kun, did the Masked Kid do anything to you other than making you look like a pin cushion?" Sakura asked suddenly, snapping me out of my concentration.

"No."

"Oh, I was wondering because you look…like a girl," she said, whispering the last part.

"What?" I asked, feeling numb.

"The girl said that you look like a girl," Tazuna repeated flatly.

"I heard old man!" I snapped, causing him to draw go back fearfully.

"I-I mean Sasuke-kun, that I m-might be mistaking," Sakura stuttered.

"Check if it's a genjutsu," I ordered, glaring at her. She paled but quickly followed instruction.

"Kai!"

Noting happened. Sakura repeated twice afterwards but yet again, nothing happened. Silence descended upon us as the revelation sunk. Using what little control over my limbs, I tore my left arm sleeve off and searched for my birthmark, the one that looks like an Uchiha fan.

But it wasn't there.

All that was left was an outline of the fan.

Shit, I think I'm girl.

Like I said before, reviews are much appreciated!
