Chapter One

So Long And Goodnight...

The doors to Naruto's New York City apartment flew open in a kick of rage. Sasuke moved quickly out of the apartment. From within a voices called out. "Sasuke come back. Kiba didn't mean it!" said Sakura as she appeared at the door way. Sasuke stopped in the hallway and turned to face Sakura." Come back he didn't mean it" said Sakura as she tried to get Sasuke to come back.

Kiba appeared in the door way with a smirk. He put his arm on to Sakura's shoulder and said "You coming back in after all that you Emo?" Sasuke was filled with rage but he knew he couldn't take on Kiba and Shino, who would join in if Sasuke started something. Sasuke stormed down the hall and as he pushed through the double doors he held up his middle finger. Kiba laughed and began to follow slowly. The entire freshman class Ino, Shikamaru, Chouji, Naruto, Sakura, Hinata, Kiba, Shino, and Sasuke had been in Naruto's apartment but now were all following Kiba who was following Sasuke.

"Hey, what are you gonna do? Go home and cry to your parents" said Kiba. Kiba had forgotten about last year's tragedy where Itachi killed the Uchiha family, his own family and more importantly Sasuke's family. Sasuke stopped right where he was, mind full of hate and pain. Kiba stood at the top of the stairs with an overly confident grin on his face, Sasuke wanted nothing more than to kill Kiba but jail wouldn't be worth the satisfaction. Sasuke reached into his jacket and felt around for his gun, he found it and griped it tightly.

From behind a voice whispered to Kiba "Sasuke's family is dead...you know that." Kiba's grin slipped away. He had a way to hurt Sasuke with words and he was gonna use it. "That's right I know all about your damn family and how they met their long overdue graves" he let out a small laugh. Kiba knew he didn't mean what he said but he felt like being a jerk so he continued "I heard the only reason you lived is because your brother didn't wanna waste the bullet on you." Kiba had gone too far. Sasuke was alive because he ran, he ran with tears streaming down his face.

Sasuke hid his eyes under his hair. He let out a blood thirsty chuckle. "He may not have used that bullet on me" Sasuke stated then pulling out the revolver and aiming directly for Kiba "But I'm not so merciful. So long and goodnight." Sasuke closed his eyes and pulled the trigger. The sound reached his ears and instantly he knew he did something...something that wasn't like him. He looked over at the crowd and then to Kiba who lay their. He ran for his car. He wasn't going to jail.

He jumped into his car and struggled to start it. His mind was full of fear and his hands were trembling. After a few moments he started the car and drove away in a panic. He didn't know what came over him back there. He threw it in reverse and spun around quickly. Kiba sat up to see the car speed away. He had been hit in the arm but the shock of it all sent him down, but now he was pissed. He stood up and ran to the end of the driveway where Sasuke's car sat waiting for the first break in the traffic that would let him out.

He saw Kiba and he had no choice but to drive. He didn't know what Kiba would do. Fear took over and with that the cars tires spun. 'Why aren't I moving' thought Sasuke. He reached for his shifter and noticed in his state of fear he threw it into neutral but now it was stuck. He looked down and pulled. It came unstuck and went into drive and all while he was looking down. When he looked up it was too late. Sasuke had sped into a pickup that drove past. The pickup and the small sports car flew into a now abandoned street across from Naruto's apartment building. Kiba was already running and then he saw the cars collide.
