A seven year old Sasuke Uchiha sat in a hospital bed in the dark completely out of it.

The doctor said he was in shock.

He had every reason to be.

His beloved older brother had brutally slaughtered their entire family just a measly few hours before after all.

Itachi's parting shot before escaping Konoha completely had been sticking Sasuke in a genjutsu that showed him exactly how he had taken out each and every family member. Except for him. That was what Sasuke was having trouble wrapping his young mind around. After all, the only person Itachi had seemed to hold in any form of high regard was his best friend Shisui, and Shisui had committed suicide a few months before. So why would Itachi leave him of all people alive?

Sasuke was forced to stop his train of thought as the door to the room slowly creaked open and a blond boy that looked to be a bit older than him crept in.

"Who are you?"

The blond's head snapped to the side to face Sasuke. Sasuke gasped. The other boy's eyes were a brilliant blue, he thought they looked beautiful, and he had whisker marks on his cheeks like some kind of animal.

"Oh shit, someone's actually using this room now?" Sasuke heard the boy whisper.

"Well, obviously. I'm not a ghost you know."

"Well how do I know that for sure? You could be trying to trick me!" the other boy exclaimed. By then he had moved closer to the bed.

Sasuke shifted his legs so he was sitting on the edge and held out a hand. "Here, grab my hand. If it's warm, I'm alive, and if it's not…well I guess I'm a ghost here to mess with you."

The other boy reached out to feel the offered hand, but abruptly stopped. "I-I don't think I should. If…if you really are alive I'll probably just taint you…I'm a demon after all."The boy's head fell as he said this.

"Sorry for bothering you! I'll leave now!" As the blond turned Sasuke grabbed his wrist, only to drop it in surprise. His second, closer, look at the boy's face revealed that his pupils were slit like a cat's and he actually looked…feral.

"Sorry!" the boy said again as he ran out. Settling back into bed Sasuke never realized he had stopped thinking about the massacre of his family and how he was going to deal with the aftermath. Now he had a new mission. Find out as much as possible about his recent visitor.


Hi all! Due to the flow of the fic I'm using A/N's at the end this time! If the chapter format looks weird please tell me, 'cause I tend to have a skewed view of things like this. This is NOT the replacement fic for ADC! Details for that are in my profile for those of you who don't look at author profiles. Anyway, this is a concept I've had in my head for a while and I finally found the right way to go about it earlier today and decided to go for it! The chapter was going to be longer, but I liked the idea of spacing it out a little more better. This is still the longest chapter I've written to date though (I think)! Yay me! Even if it might not be as funny as MFNAC, I hope my Naruto fans enjoy this just as much as that! See you next chapter!
