Chapter 2
Nightmares & Kept Promises

Sanika woke up to loud barking coming from Fuu, her fathers dog. She rubbed her eyes as she sat up in her bed, Fanfy shivering with fear on her lap. 'What's going on?...Why is it so noisy?" Sanika asked herself. She got out of bed and walked to her door but froze in place. She felt like someone was watching her. Her hands began to tremble and she remembered her promise to Itachi. "Mommy...Daddy...I'm too scared to leave my room...I-I need to scream for help..." She quickly whipped around to grab Fanfy, only to stare at a dark figure crouched on her windowsill. Her voice was caught in her throat, as tears streamed down her face. The figure quickly jumped in front of her grabbing her throat. Sanika could feel her consciousness slipping as the stranger squeezed her neck. The room went dark, the only thing she saw, was cold glowing red eyes staring back at her.

Sanika woke with a jolt as she gasped for air. She stared at the familiar ceiling and felt Fanfy nuzzling her hand. "Jeez...Why did I have to have such a horrid nightmare." She sighed as she patted the little dogs head. She rubbed her eyes, wiping away her tears trying to shake off her memories.

A knock came to the door. "Sanika...Can I come in?" a soft deep voice asked. "Uh...Y-Yeah." She replied pulling the covers up to her chest. A tall blonde boy with a splash of black on the roots of his hair walked in. "Its noon. You should of been awake hours ago. I made you breakfast." Sanika stared at the boy then sighed. "You seriously act more of a woman than I do Senmaru..." Sanika criticized. The boy laughed and scratched his chin as he set down her plate at her desk. "Well this 'woman' has a date later on today." He said proudly. Sanika gave him a bored face. "You mean cute lil Aiisera is coming over?" the boy quickly whipped his face away from her. "...Yeah." He replied. "Tch, she's not going to go on a date with you. She's always coming over to drop off some food and herbs for us. Seriously, if you like her so much why don't you legitimately ask her OUT on a date already? Jeez! You seriously act like a girl..." Sanika got up out of bed and headed to her closet. Senmaru's face flushed as she quickly covered his eyes "JESUS WOMAN PUT ON A BRA! YOU PRACTICALLY POKED MY EYE OUT!" he yelled out. Sanika smirked as she began to get dressed.

As Sanika rushed through the door she headed off to the shops with Fanfy keeping up with her. Things have changed in 5 years. Sanika was no longer the little girl who hid away with fear or was shy around other people. She graduated from the academy, and made new friends. But unfortunately - it seems that no matter how much she changed through the years. She still cries when she thinks back to the day when the Uchiha Clan was massacred. She shook her head "Ugh...Just stop thinking about it. This is ridiculous-" She looked around. The village was noisier than she remembered. People were gossiping and some of the shops were closed. She noticed shinobi scattering about and talking to the public. As she looked about, she spotted her friend Masaru talking to one of the shinobi's running around. Sanika quickened her pace to catch up to her. As she walked up to the cute brunette the shinobi thanked her and went off. "What was that about?" Sanika asked. Masaru turned around "It seems that the Village was infiltrated. Two rouge ninja came and fought the Senin Jiraiya. As fast as they showed up, they disappeared. Sasuke was hospitalized, it seems he was caught in the crossfire...Anbu and other shinobi higher ups are gathering information looking for the two ninjas." Masaru explained. "Hey Sanika, Masaru." a voice called out. Behind them stood a petit girl shorter than Masaru with blue hair complimented with an orange bow. "Sonan." Masaru called out. Sonan smiled "So you guys were questioned too?" Both Sanika and Masaru nodded towards her. "I-I'm going to the hospital to visit Sasuke...I want to make sure he's ok."

Sanika walked up to the desk with a small bento box in hand. She asked the nurse which room Sasuke was in. The nurse pointed her to the right direction. As she walked over to Sasuke's room, she spotted a girl with long royal blue hair that were tied in pigtails. She immediately made a face towards Sanika and stood in Sanika's way. "I hope you're not here to see my Sasuke." The girl scuzzed. Sanika scrunched her nose and scoffed "I don't see how that's any of your business Rini." The girl quickly puffed her cheeks placing her hands on her hips. "Sasuke is my future husband, of course its my business!" Sanika shrugged and walked past her "Oh? I never heard of Sasuke ever having a girlfriend let alone future bride named Rini. Either way, I do what I want." All Rini could do was glare holes in Sanika's back.

Sanika stood in front of the door. 'I don't even know what to say to him...Hi? Its been a while? I heard you got your but kicked by some gay ninjas?...CAN I EVEN ACT CASUAL WITH HIM?! Or should I treat him like I'm meeting him for the first time?...LIKE TOTALLY! I heard you put up such a brave fight and errything. That is so like...COOL...Gross...JUST KNOCK ALREADY! People are going to stare!' she thought to herself. She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply, she then slowly opened the door. She froze at the door for a second then slowly walked in. Sasuke's back was turned towards her. "I said I don't want any visitors." He replied coldly. "Ah...I'm sorry. I just wanted to make sure you were ok. I even went out and brought you a tomato bento..." Sanika explained herself 'STUPID STUPID STUPID! You didn't need to explain yourself to him!' she scolded herself. Sasuke stayed silent for a while then turned his head to face her. Sanika blinked at him not sure what to say. "Uh uhm...Here. The nurse told me you haven't eaten yet and I thought some tomatoes and rice would be good for you..." She handed him the bento. He sat up and took the little box from her hand with a nod. "You can sit down you know." Sasuke said in a monotone. Her eyes lit up with happiness and took a seat next to him.
They talked about the past, about how things have changed. Sanika laughed, and felt like nothing had changed. Tho Sasuke was quiet most of the time but Sanika knew in her heart that he was enjoying himself. He hasn't kicked her out so she believed he was enjoying himself. They talked about the rouge shinobi's that attacked Naruto. They agreed to meet up again tomorrow.

As she walked home, she couldn't get the thought of Itachi being back in the village. He was after all the man who killed her whole entire clan, her family. Her parents and his. He took away people that were precious to her. She felt her heart begin to race. Anxiety was taking over her mind, she quickly shook her head trying to snap out of it. 'Maybe I should go visit my parents grave...Its been a while." Sanika headed towards a late night shop and purchased some rice balls. She then headed straight to the Uchiha memorial graveyard. As she finished her prayers to her parents, she walked over to Fugaku and Mikoto's tombstone. She froze when she noticed someone was visiting them. Walking over slowly she pulled the riceballs out of her little bag. "Mind if I join you?" she asked. The dark figure didn't say a word just a nod. Sanika knelt down beside him and lit a candle placing the riceballs next to the dumplins that were laid out. After she was done praying she glanced over at the figure and smiled. "Did you know Fugaku-San and Mikoto-San?" again the figure didn't say anything just nodded. "Ya know...These two were like second parents to me. They had two sons, and they were both my closest friends. They honestly treated me like their sister. In those days, I honestly believed it would go on forever...But it was foolish of me...OH! Sorry, I didn't mean to ramble. Uh, my name is Sanika." She held her hand out to shake his but he ended up grabbing her wrist and flipped her over. Sanika's face hit the ground hard causing her nose to bleed. "HEY WHAT THE HELL MAN!" She yelled out. The figure kept a tight grip, twisting her arm behind her back. Her head began to feel fuzzy 'Damn...I hit my head too hard. I'm blacking out.' she tried to turn to look at the man who was holding her wrist, but all she could see was darkness.
