1: The lonely boy.

Sighing to myself as I shook hands with yet another or my father's business partners, I put a smile on my face and answered all the questions that I was asked. All I wanted to do was to leave this meet and great go home to bed and just forget about this boring affair. I know my father was the owner of a massive corporation but why did that mean that I had to suffer this boring event as well. Looking around I see my brother exchange pleasantries with Minato Uzumaki. He owned a huge line of hospitals and was a valuable asset to my own family's company. Kushina was talking animatedly to my mother Mikoto about one thing or another, sometimes it was easier to just leave these women alone otherwise you'll be dragged into their plotting and it will only spell trouble in the end. After having people talk to me for ages then for them to disappear and talk to others, it gave me enough time to look around the room to others that were gathered. There was Neji Hyƻga with his cousin Hinata both talking to random people with more power and money than sense. They owned slightly smaller law company that handled in solicitors and the like. My own family owned the medical supplies that were shipped out around the world. This is the reason that our family and the Uzumaki family had a lot to do with each other. I turn away from the hustle of the talking and walk toward the double doors that led out to the beautiful garden of the hotel that we had rented out purely for this affair.

Leaning against the rails I take in the majesty that is the garden. The pathways were curved and they were being hugged both sides by bluebeard shrubs. The vibrant blue colour just seemed to glow in the moonlight. Over to my left was a pond where there were many exotic fish bubbling away under the smooth surface, lily pads dotted around the water's edge with amazing white flowers floating around. In front of me was a rather large rockery with many different coloured flowers waving at me in the light breeze that blew around the garden in the late summers evening. To the right of me was a wooden swing set. A small two person swing was on a patch of concrete with rose bushes either side of it. The moon was shining on the swing in the right way to make it seem like if you were seated on it that there was nothing else in the world apart from you and the swing. The world seem to just fade into the back ground, it seem so out of this world and magical just sitting there in the corner. But the one thing that caught my eye more was the person sitting on the swing. He looked to be around my age, his spikey blond hair danced in the wind as a smile formed on his face as he looked up to the sky. I could see his lips moving but being so far away I couldn't hear what he said, but just looking at those lips made me forget that he was talking to himself and that he was having a private moment by himself. Feeling an arm lightly rest on mine I turn towards my mother and she has a soft smile on her face. I'd always been close to her, if I had anything that was bothering me I could always go to her and she would always help me.

"What are you thinking about sweetheart?" Her eyes roam around the garden. "Isn't it marvellous? The colours are just so breath-taking." She closes her eyes and takes in a deep breath breathing in the smells of the garden. "Look Sasuke, I know that your relationship with Gaara didn't go so well. But that just means that you haven't met the one that's meant to complete you yet." She gave me a small kiss on the top of my head and then pulled me into a hug. "But trust me my darling, there is someone out there that will be able to love you the way that you will love them back. You will just have to be patient. Now come, we're leaving." She lets go gives me a smile and another kiss on the head, then she turns around and walks back into the building towards my father. I turn towards the swing to see it swinging in the breeze and my mysterious blond has disappeared into the wind. Looking towards the floor I feel a little sad that I couldn't' find out who this blond was. I walk towards my family not noticing that there was a set of blue eyes following my every move.
