Important Note: Moonlight Glimpses is a series of story overviews that may be considered as a one-shot that would, depending on the reception, become a future story. This is my attempt to keep me interested in the new plots in my head while I finish my other stories, an idea I borrowed from Cassandra Nitewing, to whom I asked permission from.

"So, where did you disappear off to?"

Sasuke just ignored the speaker and the crowd that were looking expectedly at him as he tried going home.

"Come on! We are friends, aren't we?"

Sasuke quickened his pace. Being forced to become partners in the Science lab was NOT being friends. They hardly even spoke to each other, but obviously the boy was trying to grab some of the attention Sasuke was getting. Attention which Sasuke did not appreciate or welcome one bit.

A month before, Sasuke had appeared at the police station, having lost his way downtown. To his surprise, he found out that he was missing for almost three days. After repeatedly explaining that the last thing he remembered was going to a convenience store, he was taken to a doctor.

"This is strange." The doctor, whom Sasuke has known for years, began checking him for concussions that would explain his current amnesia. "You seem perfectly fine, although you seem to be leaner and taller since last check up."

Sasuke just shrugged, he didn't feel any different at all.

"Well, just come back after a few days, maybe your memory will come back after some rest."

He was immediately brought home by his irritated uncle, and his normal routine resumed. But he had still no memory of the three days he disappeared.

Then, the local news had reported on his mysterious disappearance. Some people scoffed and muttered that the young 15-year old orphan must have just ran away from home. But there was much surveillance on the past few days on the every mode of transportation to and from the town. No one could explain how he could have passed through undetected. The most popular theory was shared by some so-called experts, explaining that he was abducted by aliens. The whole town had been in Extraterrestrial mode since, and for Sasuke, who detested scrutiny was unfortunately dragged to the limelight.

"Fine! Have it your way, UFO boy!" Finally, the boy had left Sasuke stomping away angrily.

Sasuke quickly sent a glare to the crowd which quickly sent them rushing to wherever they are supposed to go.

Suddenly feeling hungry, he scanned the area for any ramen shops, frowning when he found none. On his way home, he wondered when did he start having preference for ramen.

"You should be abducted by aliens more often."

Sasuke stared questioningly at his uncle.

"Straight A's." He replied, showing a letter from school. "They are giving you a full scholarship."

"Hn. It's not like we are studying Interlinear Transdimensional Geometry."

"What?"

Sasuke blinked. What did he just say? "Nothing."

Truthfully, Sasuke found school very boring. Things seem easier to learn and understand than before. Somehow, he felt that he was a college graduate asked to go back to preschool.

He wanted to talk to someone, but he felt that it wasn't wise to talk to his uncle.

The next day, Sasuke took a stroll at the park. The cherry blossoms were blooming late that year so he had nothing to do except to sit at a park bench and feed the pigeons. It was nothing strange to him, it was something the family did when his parents was still alive.

"Hey, little brother."

He looked up. "Itachi."

"Mind if I join you?" Sasuke moved to give some space on the bench and Itachi sat down.

"So how's everything going for you?"

"Hn."

"That bad?" Itachi chuckled. "You always do get into trouble a lot."

After a few more minutes of silence, save for the fluttering of wings, Itachi spoke again.

"You know that you could always talk to me." Itachi quickly stood up. He and his brother had an uneasy relationship since their parents died. It didn't help that Itachi decided to live on his own so soon after the burial.

"I know."

Itachi was surprised that his brother replied. For a minute the brothers stared at each other, before Itachi gave a sincere smile and left.

Sasuke kept on gazing after his older brother. I know what it is like to lose you. I will not make the same mistake again. Sasuke then jolted out of his thoughts. What was that about?

o0o

"Hey! Uchiha!"

Sasuke looked up the stairs to see on of his classmates stomping towards him. He remembered him as one of the class bullies who often bragged about being the best in the school. He had led the class mocking him about his supposed (or lack of) adventure. Apparently, he resented the attention Sasuke was getting because he suddenly punched Sasuke in the stomach.

"Not so tough, huh, UFO boy!" He tried to throw another punch but Sasuke suddenly caught his arm and bent it in a position arms are not supposed to be bent. Sasuke quickly threw him over his shoulder and settled in a modified Tiger Stance (he can't explain how he knew how that was called) and swiftly began jabbing his opponent before stopping himself from completing the sequence (kicking a point on the neck which will surely kill him).

"You freak!" The boy looked petrified. "Weirdo!!!" He limped away as fast as he could.

Sasuke just stood shaking wondering what the hell is happening to him.

For several days now, the students have finally left him alone. Enjoying his well missed solitude, he walked slower as the breeze brought several cherry blossom petals in his direction.

Unconsciously, he picked up a petal and twirled it in his hands, admiring the vividly pink it is. But, then, another gust of wind passed, blowing the petal away. With an indescribable panic, he stretched his arm to grab the petal.

"Sakura!"

And with flash, he saw it all.

A annoying blond idiot grinning at him.

A masked man leniently reading an orange book.

A pink haired girl smiling at him with brilliant emerald eyes.

A man who looked like Itachi lying on the ground, bleeding.

A girl yelling to him to go and get help.

He finally remembers.

He has to go back.

But first, he has to say goodbye to someone.

o0o

"You are what?" Itachi stared at him in bewilderment. When Sasuke arrived at his apartment, he never imagined this was what he wanted to talk about.

"I am an interdimensional agent working for an organization that aims to bring balance between the Altiworlds." Sasuke repeated.

"And you could travel between worlds?"

"I am classified as a Walker."

"Tell me that you are joking, please."

Sasuke shook his head. "I failed my last mission, I sent my team to a trap. I was expelled from the organization, and they took away my memory. But I remember everything now, and I have to go back and save my team.

"I might not come back."

After a few moments, Itachi nodded. "You are not crazy, your eyes say you are not." He stood up and took something from his room. "Here, this belonged to Father."

Sasuke nodded. "Thank you."

Itachi poked him on the forehead. "You are such a foolish brother. You better take care."

"You too."

Sasuke looked at a space before him and concentrated. His eyes bled red.

And he Walked.

I had inspiration to do this because it is Sasuke's birthday. XD
