Sasuke flopped down on his bed after a long day of training. He was so tired, which is probably why he didn't sense the presents of the ninja hiding in his house. The boy got his night clothes, took a shower and went to sleep. After hours of waiting the hidden ninja crept from his place in the closet and walked to the bed. The figure smirked down at the oblivious child.
"I'll be seeing you real soon, Sasuke." The intruder whispered as he pulled out a syringe. The boy only groaned as the needle went in and rolled away from the unknown ninja.
The next morning Sasuke woke up with the burning urge to throw up. Quickly getting up the boy barely made it to the bathroom before he did. After about a half hour he slowly crawled back into his bed.
'If Kakashi wants me he can come get me.' And with that thought he fell back asleep.
AT THE BRIDGE.
"Where could Sasuke be?" Sakura said after an hour of waiting for Kakashi. Sakura and Naruto were the only ones there. Usually Sasuke showed up first, then Sakura, Naruto, and finally Kakashi hours later. "What if Sasuke got attacked by ninja disguised as Kakashi, or me to lure him away with my good looks. Sasuke cant resist me." Sakura thought a loud.
Naruto just stared at her as she went on about ninja disguised as her. Then she changed her fantasy.
"Or what if that Ino-pig got to him. I bet she has him tied to a chair making him look at her UGLY face! He's probably dying. I mean just one look at her could make anyone scream." she mused.
'What is she talking about?' Naruto thought. 'When is Kakashi-sensei going to get here?' twenty minutes later, Sakura is still talking to herself and Naruto is board out of his mind, Kakashi showed up.
"Hi guys sorry I'm late- hey, where's Sasuke?" Kakashi asked, noticing the usually annoyed Uchiha missing.
"We don't know. He never showed up. Sakura thinks he was attacked by ninja disguised as her, or tied to a chair being forced to look at Ino, or buying her a beautiful ring." Naruto stated board. Kakashi raised an eyebrow at Sakura who scratched the back of her head sheepishly. "Can we go now?" Naruto was seriously board.
'I'm going to kill you Naruto!' Sakura's inner self screamed.
"No. We should go see if we can find Sasuke. It's not like him to be late or skip training." Kakashi said turning in the direction of Sasuke's house. 'He would NEVER skip training.'
The team made their way to the Uchiha's house. Sasuke refused to move out of his childhood home. The same house his brother killed their parents in. Sasuke just couldn't bring himself to leave the place that held so many memories.
"This place is giving me the creeps. Are you sure Sasuke lives here? It's like a ghost town." Sakura said glancing around at the empty houses and stores.
"Yeah, Sakura's right. I don't think Sasuke would live here." Naruto agreed. (Baby.)
"Think whatever you like. He lives here. Not even the Hokage himself could have made him move. Ah we're here." Kakashi said as they reached the biggest house in the whole ghost town.
"Sasuke lives here?"Naruto exclaimed.
"Yes." Kakashi knocked on the door. No answer. He knocked again. Still no answer. "Sasuke we're coming in." Kakashi called as he unlocked the door with his spare key.
The house was dark and silent. Kakashi walked towards the back of the house. Then walked to the master bedroom, but the door was locked. So they went to one of the other rooms. It was locked too. They tried the door down the hall, it clicked open. Next to the window they saw a sleeping form on the bed.
"Sasuke?" Kakashi shook his student. Sasuke moaned and turned away, face covered in the blankets. "Sasuke." Kakashi said louder.
"Huh..." he groaned pitifully.
"Sasuke!" Kakashi said almost yelling.
"Five more minutes please." Sasuke yawned.
"What? No. Sasuke get up." Kakashi said confused by what he heard.
"Please." the form yawned again.
"Sasuke it's 12 o'clock. You've been asleep all morning. Now get up."
"Fine." he said sounding both awake and childish. When he flung off the covers...
