Chapter 1: The Girl who fell from the Sky

Her pale hand rose to be laid over her eyes. She groaned as the light seeped through her eyelids, waking her from her eternal slumber. She coughed softly and rolled over to the side so that the sunlight coming from the windows was shining on her back. She sighed softly and almost went back to sleep.

Almost

Her eyes snapped open and she quickly sat up from her sleeping position. She looked around with wide and alert eyes, intending to find out where she was. But her surrounding didn't tell her much. She was in a simple, hotel-like room. White walls, one bed, one couch and a bathroom.

She looked down at the white thin sheet that was covering her. She threw it to the side to see that she was in a huge white shirt. She frowned, noticing that her legs were pale and bare. Lifting the edge of the extra large shirt by the collar, she looked down her shirt and noticed that she wasn't wearing anything underneath.

Nothing

Her scarlet eyes widened with shock. She swung her legs over the side of the bed and stood, feeling the t-shirt reaching about three inches above her knee. She grimaced.

Looking out the window, she walked towards it, hoping that it will show her more information about the area she was in.

The sky was murky, full of sorrow and sadness. The clouds were high in the sky, infiltrated by poison. The sun was bloody and raw, an omen. She looked across the distance to see a huge smoke rising from a small village. It was too far to be recognizable. The houses near the hotel she was in were sad and depressing. There were kids running in the street with tattered clothes, elders walking with such small bags of groceries to feed a family.

She stared outside the window, taking in the view until she heard the door opening from behind. She turned her head to see a man walking inside with a bag in hand.

A man

Quickly, she snatched the thin blanket from the bed and wrapped it around her shoulders, obscuring her body and bare legs from the intruder. She then fled to the corner of the room with a frightened expression.

The man stood there, gently placing the bag on the floor. He straightened up and merely stared at her, not moving an inch.

She observed him with fear in her eyes.

His sinister black hair was soft and styled upwardly in the back. It framed around his face, the strands teasing his forehead and cheeks. His skin was slightly tanned. He was wearing a white long sleeved shirt that splits open from the front, showing her his defined well shaped muscles. He wore dark black leggings with a dark blue fabric wrapped around his waist. The fabric was held firmly in place by a purple rope-like object. His dark sandals were placed on his feet neatly.

But it was his eyes that captivated her.

It was filled with evil and smoldered with dead emotions.

"Who are you?" She asked, her voice shaking with fright.

He didn't answer. Instead of standing there, he walked a couple of steps towards her. She immediately took steps to her left, cornered. He kept walking till he was a foot away from her.

"Kisa…" He whispered softly.

Sasuke almost lifted his hand to tenderly trace her jaw line. But he pushed that away when he noticed the fear and defensive look in her eyes. He realized how close he was to her and took a step back. He narrowed his eyes as he scrutinized her. Kisa wasn't the same girl as she was from the past. She was—

"Who are you?" She repeated once more. She was plastered on the wall, her body far away from the man. Once he had backed away from her personal space, she took steps to the side and ran to the other corner of the room.

He didn't follow after her. Sasuke merely stared at her with those black eyes.

Those evil eyes

"What do you want? Who's Kisa? Where am I? Who are you? Who am…." Her face dropped. One shaken hand rose to grasp her head. Her eyebrows knitted in confusion. "Who am I?" She stared at the man and pointed at him, her hand trembling. "You…did you do this to me?" Suddenly, pain shot through her head, causing her to fall to her knees.

She grabbed at her head and moaned as pain exploded in her head. "Why? What? Where?"

Sasuke stared at her silently; a war was going on inside of him.

Should he be attending her…giving her aid?

Or push her away?

Sasuke chose to stand there, staring down at Kisa as she shook her head from side to side. He didn't grow strong all these years to be broken down again by Kisa. He built that fort inside of him so that nobody could crumble it down.

Nobody.

Kisa flinched as the pain intensified.

Before she was consumed in a black void, a picture of an arrogant boy flashed through her mind.

Sasuke watched at Kisa slumped on the ground. He didn't even move when she hit her head hard. Slowly, he walked towards her and looked down at her broken body. Sasuke bent down and softly pushed her hair from her face.

She doesn't remember him.

She doesn't know who she is.

"What in the world happened to you?" Sasuke whispered quietly as he caressed her cheeks lovingly. Realizing what he was doing, Sasuke yanked back his hand as if he touched fire and scowled. He placed her on the bed, leaving the bag of clothes next to her.

He walked to the door, fingertips at the knob as he paused. Sasuke looked over his shoulder and sighed miserably. Without another word he left.

Today was an unlucky day.

Even a dog was luckier than him.

Sasuke was in the foulest mood of his life. His stomach was empty and hungry, he lost his client's assignment, he found his "special" friend from his past and she doesn't remember him at all. He had an expressionless face as he walked through the crowded street. He glowered when a couple of hyper kids ran by him too close. He ignored the women who threw lustrous smiles and smoky eyes in his direction.

He went down an empty alley, ignoring the smoke that rose in the air as he walked through it. He sighed in relief as he exited from the throng of people.

As Sasuke walked down the narrow alley, a group of rough-looking people sneered in his direction.
"Hey pretty boy, wanna play with us?"

"Look at that man. He doesn't look like a ninja."

"Come here,"

"Hey! Don't ignore us!"

As Sasuke moved past them, one of the men shoved at him. Sasuke's reaction was swift and violent. He slammed his fist straight into the man's face. He hit the ground hard as his group jumped FengLi.

Sasuke was cutting through them with little difficulty. He slung one over his back onto the ground, and then punched him hard while the other two were swinging at him.

He ducked the blows and whirled to the side, never using any chakra. He slammed one of men into the wall and would have killed him had the other man had not grabbed him from behind.

He punched Sasuke hard in the face.

The atmosphere suddenly went dark.

Everything went still and nobody moved.

Sasuke wiped the blood coming from the corner of his mouth and looked at the man with anger.

His gaze was severe and cutting with its intensity.

It was animalistic

It wasn't humane

Sasuke pulled back his arm and smashed his fist into the man's face. He went flying backwards and hit the wall with such force that the building trembled. Once he was out of the picture, Sasuke walked towards the last maggot he was going to murder. Sasuke grabbed him by the collar and hauled him up.

Boy oh boy how everything falls in his hands so easily.

"Oh, shit," Keisuke cursed as he saw a grim reaper clutching at his shirt.

"Finally," Sasuke pulled back his fist and sent Keisuke flying to the ground.

The force of the blow knocked Keisuke down where he lay beside his friend with his nose pouring blood. He cursed as he curled up in a ball. His bones and flesh were screaming in pain. As Sasuke walked towards him, Keisuke spat at his feet. "Damn you, you monster,"

Sasuke knocked out the squealing man, smirking cruelly at the crack which reverberated down the alley. Satisfied with his capture, Sasuke threw his victim over his shoulder and walked out of the alley.

The sun escaped from the taunting murky clouds, displaying its radiating light upon the condemned town. Sasuke smiled.

The day was looking brighter.

He walked towards the end of the street, shifting the dead weight body on his shoulder from time to time, trying to get it in a comfortable position. When Sasuke reached a gated house, he jumped over the fence and walked inside the home without even knocking.

He walked into a small dining room and dumped the unconscious body unceremoniously on the sturdy table. Sasuke then folded his arms and stared at the obese man at the dining table with emotionless eyes. Kanda was having dinner, his fingers greasy with oil, his lips and mouth covered with gunk. The man's mouth moved a couple of times as if he was a dying fish. His beady blueberry eyes went from the assassin to the victim couple of times.

"I...I can't believe...you actually...c-c-caught him..." The triple chin on the obese man quivered.

"I would like my reward now," Sasuke said. The obese man nodded, his chins trembling now.

"Yes, yes," With a snap of his finger, a butler entered from another room with a bag in his hands. "There's your reward. But might I ask you to join my group." The man suggested with a greedy glint in his eyes. "The pay would be astounding and you can have all the bloodshed you want,"

Without a word, Sasuke turned on his heel and left the house.

He walked back to the hotel he was occupying.
