It was past midnight on a Thursday night. A pale half moon shone dimly on Konhoa City, the occasional passing cloud causing a flicker of shadows amung the inky darkness. Tall trees cast large intimidating shadows on nearby houses. Silence was absolute, except fpr the occasional cricket or the rustling of dried leaves upon cement by a cool light breeze.
Somewhere near the center or the city, a girl sat in an empty park, her swing's rusted chains creaking slightly as she rocked slowly back and forth, pushing lightly off the ground with the balls of her feet. The sound, although not naturally loud, cut through the still air like a knife. Not many people were out at this time, considering how many people turned up dead in the city. Even just walking down the street was dangerous and the city itself seemed to give off an ominous feeling no one was capable of explaining.
The girl gazed up at the pale glowing moon and a small sigh escaped her lips. Her short golden brown hair ruffled slightly in the night breeze and she closed her eyes, enjoying the cold caress upon her skin. The wind soon died down and her hair fluttered back down to the nape of her neck and she blinked open her pale black-rimmed grey eyes. Her slim fingers wrapped around the swings chain as a support as she pulled herself up off the swing's seat.
'Too bad it didn't rain tonight. It would have been perfect.' she thought, a small smile tracing her lips as she stepped out of the deserted park and began to wander down an equally empty street. The only light she had to guide her, was by the moon. It wasn't much help, however, seeing as it was a cloudy night.
'It's a good thing I walked down this road so many times and know it by heart!' the girl thought, weaving her way swiftly and gracefully through a series of barrels as if she could see them in plain view.'I should be home sleeping. Tomorrow, I have to go to my new school! I just wish I wasn't so excited!' she could feel the grin on her lips as she rounded a corner. However, the grin faded from her face as her ears caught the sound of footsteps softly coming up behind her.
Unsure of how to react, she blinked and spun around. Her pale eyes roamed the streets behind her nervously, searching for any sign of another person. She found none. Only a small brown tabby cat rummaging through a nearby trash can. The girl released a breath she hadnt realized she was holding, thinking the noise was only the cat. Turning around, she moved to step forward, but froze as her downcast eyes caught site of a pair of shoes in front of her. She stumbled back in surprise.
Blinking slowly, her eyes focused on the shoes. They began to travel upwards, her curiosity besting her. She could dimly recognize a pair of knee-length biege shorts, and as her eyes traveled father up, a large navy blue t-shirt with a wide high collar. The girls face finally lifted enough to look him in the eye. His eyes were as dark as coals, shining coldly in the dark. She could barely make out his dark hair, seeing as it seemed to match the darkness surrounding them. His skin seemed to be a little pale and the way he stood, with his hands in his pockets, his onyx eyes void of emotion, suggested he was calm and collected.
'Either that or he's just bored...' the girl thought, studying his eyes intently. She was wondering what he was doing up at this time of night. She had been living in Konhoa City for barely three weeks now, and every night she would come out to sit under the stars, not tired enough to sleep. And not once had she encountered another being.
"Uhmmm...H-Hi!" the girl spoke, a small forced smile straining her lips. 'Besides my sister, this guy is the first person I've talked to since I've come here. Onee-chan didnt think I'd be ready for socializing, so she told me to stay inside...If I hadnt learned to climb roofs, I wouldnt be outside now...'
"W-Who are you? What are you doing out at this time?"
The boy raised an eyebrow cooly down at her. It seemed like he was going to ignore her questions, but then--
"I should be asking you that."
The girl started, her pale eyes widening slightly. She hadnt been expecting an answer. Her slim hands autom,atically reached up to her short hair and beagn to twist and twirl small strands nervously. "I-I couldnt sleep. I-I decided to go for a walk. What about you?"
"Hn...my buisness is my own." the boys facial expression didn't change. It was still as impassive as ever. His onyx eyes were still locked in a gaze with the girls pae ones. But the only pair of eyes expressing any sign of emotion, was the girl's. Her eyebrows were furrowed slightly in annoyance at the boys response and a small frown was on her lips.
"Thats not very nice! I dont like you very much!" she said, her hands stopped their consistent nervous twirling to yank lightly at her locks in apparent anger and fustration.
The only sign of recognition at the girls wods was the boy's lift of an eyebrow in her direction. "Hn..."
"Well whats your name?"
"Hn..." the boy blinked once and turned to walk around the girl, making it obvious he thought this was a waste of time. But as he passed the girl, she heard his voice in a low tone and she almost didnt hear it.
"Uchiha...Sasuke..."
The girl's eyes widened and her body stiffened as his words slowly processed in her mind. She swallowed hard and her hands fell, shaking slightly from her golden brown hair. Her lips parted to voice the millions of thoughts streaming through her mind. 'What!' was the main thought however, and so she spun around to blurt this, her heart racing. But the words never left her throat when her eyes scanned the empty street behind her. No one was there. The boy was gone.
'Uchiha...That means...he's related to him then...Is he that bastards brother! I couldnt see much, but now that I think about it, there was some resemblance...But where did he go! Agh! Dammit!' The girl spun in a complete circle, her eyes peering hopefully through the dark, but to no avail. She sighed and bit her lip as she finally gave up her searching to turn and resume her walk, still lost in thought, her brow furrowed. 'I hope I see him again. I need to ask him...Is he related to him'

The girl arrived outside a rather average looking house around two in the morning. The outside was painted a dark olive brown, peeling around the white shutters. The wooden steps leading up to the door looked a little worn and creaked as she stepped up them. She opened the door carefuly, trying hard to be quiet, so as not to avoid waking the rest of the house's inhabitants. The problem was, they were already awake.
A tall slim girl of about 20 to 23 sat on the wooden counter top next to the sink in the kitchen. Her long golden brown hair was in a sloppy bun at the top of her head. Her chocolate brown eyes were flecked with amber and at the sound of the door opening, they glanced up.
"Ki-Ki-chan...shouldnt you be asleep?" asked the girl from the counter.
"Oh...Onee-chan..." said the girl from the doorway as she stepped inside, closing the door behind her. She was alittle surprised her sister was up now. This didnt happen very often." I couldnt sleep again...You know I havent been since...then..." She reached up and began twirling her hair again. Her pale grey eyes lifted to meet her sister's brown ones. "What about you, Kikuri-nee-chan?" her voice was soft, almost a whisper.
"I dunno...Just couldnt fall asleep." Kikuri shrugged, her dark eyes moving from her sister's to her feet. "But you should try Akiko. I know you dont want to, but--"
"Kikuri...dont worry, I will." 'Anything to make you drop it.' Akiko thought, but didnt say. She didnt sleep very often. When she did, she would only wake up in the middle of the night, screaming. Her nightmares were always vivid. The same thing over and over. Akiko let her hands fall to her sides as she headed for her room. Her feet automatically walked through the dark living room to a wide wooden staircase and she dragged herself up the to her room.
Once inside, she closed and locked the door before turning and collapsing on the bed next to the lone window of the small room. She sighed and rolled onto her back.'I dont want to sleep. I dont want to dream about it again. Everytime I close my eyes, I see him in that room...killing them again and again...and the blood...His eyes...' Akiko bit her lip to keep the small swell of tears she felt forming down.'I wont let it get to me! I wont! Thats what he wanted!' she shook her head fiercly, refusing to let the tears fall or sleep come. So she lay there till she could hear the sound of civilization from outside her window...
