What happened.

Sasuke looked around. He was in the middle of the road in front of his house with dust and blood everywhere.

It was morning and as the sun came up the mist surrounding him began to disappear.

It was strangely calm as he stood up and walked towards his house past a few bodies. He walked inside and went to his room ignoring the door where he knew he'd find his parents.

He sat on his bed for a while until the shock began to wear off.

He was freaking out. Itachi had... no!...But I saw...he wouldn't.

A flash of Itachi holding a kunai flew through Sasukes mind.

It was too hard to think and he began to tremble. He fumbled with the door knobs as the sudden urge to get as far away as possible overwhelmed him. He grabbed his jacket and stumbled down the bloody road.

As he exited the Uchiha gates he entered a busy street and weaved between the people just starting to wake up. He found himself following some kids as he got close to the gates leading to the outside of town.

The woman who was leading the children came up to a guard and showed him a slip of paper.

"Aright, there all yours?" The man asked gesturing towards the kids.

"Yep. Just going to meet some family outside of town." She smiled.

The guard smiled back. "Okay, be careful."

She began walking towards the gates. "We will. Come on you guys."

The kids all walked up to her and began chattering to each other. No one noticed the extra addition as they walked out the gates.

Sasuke walked with them until the guard closed the gates. Then he sat down by a tree and waited until the family was out of sight.


He'd been walking for two days now. He was hungry and thirsty but mostly he was tired. He hadn't slept sence the day he left the gates.

He looked up and found himself surprised. He had no clue where he was. There were just trees and trees everywhere he looked. The path looked less used here and Sasuke wasn't sure he wanted to meet some one on a deserted road.

After some time he decided to keep going. He was sure that the path led some where and even if not it didn't really matter to him anyway.

At first it had surprised him how much didn't matter sence he'd left but sence it didn't matter he let it slide without much thought.

He sat down to rest a moment and found himself drifting off to sleep.

He was standing outside a door. He began to slide it open and suddenly everything began to speed up. Itachi was standing over their bodies as he looked a Sasuke with his sharingan. Then everything went black and he felt pure terror sweep through his body.

"Noo!" Sasuke yelled. He looked around and found himself in the same position he'd been in when he fell asleep.

A man was standing over him.

"It's alright, kid. Hey wake up." Called a gruff voice. Sasuke realized with a jolt that it was evening and he'd slept all afternoon.

He looked back at the man and inspected him. He was kind of tall with short white hair, a beard and blue eyes and was wearing brown clothing. Sasuke thought for a moment and decided the man was probably just a traveler.

"You up yet?" the man asked.

"Yes." Sasuke answered.

"Good. Now where are your parents?"

Sasuke felt waves of emotion crash over himself but he controled his facial features nicely and replied.

"I don't know."

"Huh, whats your name?"

"Sasuke."

The man looked slightly irritated.

"Whats your last name?"

Sasuke nearly answered him. But then he remembered that there was nothing left at home. So if he told this man his last name he'd send him back and he'd be stuck in an empty house.

"I don't know."

Now the man looked aggravated.

"So, wear do you live?"

"I don't know."

"Great," the man muttered to himself,"that's nice, an amnesiac. Well, I guess I'll just have to drop you off at the next town I stop in alright? Hopefully we'll find your guardian there."
