TWO: Curiosity Kills The Sasuke
Sasuke was having a great day.
No Sakura, no Naruto, no Kakashi to bother him. No annoying fan club to attempt to capture him for their impure pleasures because it was late and it was Sunday. Yes, Sunday.
The raven-haired avenger walked down the streets of Konoha, obviously on his way to the grocery store, because everyone needs food, even Sasuke.
He sauntered on into the store, swiftly picking up a shopping basket and making his way to the produce.
"Omigawd, Yuki! Did you hear?" an annoying voice asked from behind Sasuke; who was examining the tomatoes.
"Hear what!" ANOTHER annoying voice responded, making Sasuke's eye twitch as he continued to look for the perfect tomato.
"About the mysterious figure that appears near the academy at night?" Sasuke glared at the old, squishy tomato and set it back down. No, that one will simply not do.
"OMIGAWD REALLY! What's it look like!" The boy reached into the red pile again, pulling out another tomato. Yes. He had found the one.
"I heard he's tall, and has long hair that's tied up. I also heard that if you get in close enough… you can see red glowing eyes…"
Sasuke dropped his tomato.
'It can't be…' was what ran through his mind. Shaking his head, he picked up his tomato and set it gently in the basket. He continued his grocery shopping.
Sasuke ran a free hand through his hair, the other one occupied with two plastic bagfuls of food. He looked down the artificially-lighted street. In the far distance he could see the academy… but why did he care?
'No… That's definitely just a rumor…' Sasuke wasn't dumb; he didn't fall for such things. There was no mysterious figure at the academy. There was no way he was going there.
So there he was, walking around the outside of the academy. He needed a good walk anyways.
There was a rustle in the bushes, Sasuke stopped mid step.
"Who's there?" He demanded firmly, clutching the plastic bags tightly in his hands.
"Uchiha, w-what are you doing here!"
