I don't own Naruto. My second drabble in the We were children once series. Please tell me what you think.
Sasuke was a child once.
He forgets that, sometimes. To busy remembering how it ended.
Sword dripping fresh blood. Drip, Drip as demon's eyes bore into his. Mother and Father corpses with disbelieving eyes. Sasuke knows what that's like.

He focuses on the goal. Vengeance and Sasuke keeps digging himself into a black hole that he probably won't get out of, not that it matters. Nothing matters anymore.
Sasuke refuses to remember warm summer nights catching fireflies. It just hurts too much possibly more than finding his clan exterminated because it was all a lie. Told to him by the one person he loved and trusted most.
His childhood is stained, tainted.
(Like crimson blood on wooden floors)
And the only thing that is the somewhat pure is Team 7 and that's why he left. He can't afford another ruin childhood. It would shatter him beyond repair. He just hopes his team will understand but hope is too childishly naive. Sasuke can't do naive.
Sasuke is ripped from childhood at age 8.
