A Jungle turned Civilized
Sasuke-Naruto
There are so many faces. Faces that I will never see again, faces that I don't remember seeing and faces that I remember so vividly it takes me back to the childhood that was once forgotten. My brother hugs people that I barely recognize, while others hold happy smiles, waiting their turn to hold us after so many years of absence. I could feel the tears nearing the corners of my eyes and I pushed them back, adjusting my black coat tighter around my shoulders. This place once was my home, but now it was so alien, so out of place, as if I was just dreaming a horrible nightmare from which I would soon wake up, finding myself once again back in my bed, one foot away from my older brother, and get ready for school….
We drive around in circles for what seem like hours. Our guides were too scared to even say one word to me and I settled for hiding under the furred cap of my coat, my hands holding my Ipod nervously. The tears still threatened to spill but I bit my lip hard. My brother I could tell was watching me closely, not sure of what to do or what to say. "Sasuke," he said finally, his hand hovering over my shoulder carefully, "How are you?" he asks. "Fine". He didn't dare ask anything else as a few tears escaped my grasp.
It was nearly morning when we finally arrived at my new house. There is so much vegetation and so many rivers that it looks too wild to be a town. The houses as far as I could tell are poorly made, some so old they look like they are breaking, while others are made of sturdy cement. I pull my luggage out of the car, and head inside to drink a bit of coffee our new butler had prepared for us. I drink silently as my brother continues to chat happily, as if this was all natural, as if we had done this a million times over.
We bid goodbye and everyone headed back home while I explore my new house. Finally, I snuggled myself under the safety of the sheets of an alien bed, and the tears that I had been holding in since my departure fell as heavy rain masked my screams of fear.
