The first time he saw her he was only three. His older brother had brought her into the house unconscious and bloody. His mother took her to another room while his father went to his study to talk with his brother. He decided to go find his mother; she was carefully cleaning the blood off the girl's face. He sat down beside her, helping his mother clean her arms when she stirred awake looking at him.
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha, don't worry you're safe here" he told her softly, looking into her lavender eyes "What is your name?"
She raised her hand caressing his cheek "Sasuke Uchiha."
"That's right" he took her hand "Who are you?"
"I'm Alana…Alana…Alana…"
She had forgotten her last name, he glanced at his mother.
"It's okay dear" his mother said stroking her hair "You can be part of this family. You will be an Uchiha."
Alana smiled then went back to sleep.
He spent years with Alana and grew to love her, not like a sister but like someone he could spend his life with. He never knew how to tell her, and then Itachi went and killed the entire clan except for them. He knew he became distant, but he never realized how much he pushed Alana away until that day. That day he woke up with red lipstick on his lips, a note taped to his chest and the bedroom smelling like perfume.
'Sasuke,
I know you're upset with what your brother did and I can sense that you don't want to be alone, but every time I try to get close you push me away. So I'm leaving the village, I'll return someday and maybe, just maybe, you won't push me away again. You're all I have, all I'll ever have, without you my life means nothing.
Love Alana.'
He held the note close as tears fell. He swore that when Alana returned he would tell her how much he loved her.
