Okay, I hope to make this chapter longer A LOT longer than the last one. I may re-do it. It all really just depends on how I'm feeling at the moment. Lately, I'm kinda stuck... On what?, you may ask. What to do next in the chapter of Hidden Butterfly. It was originally NejiHina rather than SasuHina... So, I have some changing to do...

Disclaimer- I do not own Naruto in any shape or form.


Sasuke stared at the old house standind before him. A place he called home many years ago. Yes, the Uchiha village. It looked different since he had last stepped foot into it. The lawn was in desperate need of a good trim. Weeds were along the path-way that made it's way up to the entrance. The windows were, from the outside, clouded over with years of dust and dirt.

He had grown up in these walls.

Did he ever plan on moving in again?

Honestly, Sasuke couldn't answer that question. He had never planned past having a heir to the Uchiha clan. What came next?

The ninja sighed in frustration and began to walk up the path-way. Along the way, he couldn't help but remember many things that had happened on this lawn. Sasuke smirked at one memory that popped up.

The day he asked his mother what love was.

Sasuke was completely confused on what this was like. His mother and father never seemed to really care much for each other. He stopped and stared at the lawn; allowing himself to fade back to that day.

Flashback

"Mom, what's ... love?"

Mikoto gazed over at her sun, completely turning away from her small garden.

"Love is...a feeling sweety."

"I know that, but how do you know when you're in love?"

The Uchiha woman stared at her son and smiled sweetly. Sasuke was only 5 years old and always asked silly questions. She really hadn't expected him to ask a question like that.

"Hm..that's a really hard question to answer. To put it simply, love is a feeling to want to protect and care for someone."

Sasuke, who had been sitting on the soft, green grass, crossed his legs and looked at him mom with a very serious expression.

"Thanks." he said and began to think.

Mikoto turned backed to her garden again but was interrupted by another question, making her turn back to Sasuke.

"Mom, do you and dad love each other?"

She gave him a confused look and laughed a little.

"Of course! What makes you think we don't love each other?"

"You two never hug or kiss! You don't even talk that much.."

Mikoto could see, as well sense, that Sasuke was worried they didn't love each other. It did seem that way though. Her and her husband never really communicated to one another. Well..in front of Sasuke and Itachi that is..

"Sasuke, me and you both know your father has a hard time expressing his feelings in front of others. Even so, me and your father always talk when you're in bed."

Sasuke blinked at her and tilted his head.

"Are there other ways to express love?"

Mikoto made a sorta of gasping noise. Sasuke...just talked like...a 9 year old...

She nodded her head.

"Yes, you can cuddle, hold hands, talk to each other, and well... support one another."

"Thanks mom."

"You're welcome."

Flashback

Sasuke shook his head, escaping from his thoughts. He, again, began to walk towards the entrance. Soon, he passed a tree before stopping and looking at this tree. As a child, he played and climbed on this tree with his older brother for hours.

His brother...

The hatred...

It lingered even after the death of the one he sought to murder. A twisted smile began to play on his lips as he thought of his brother. It had been about 2 days since he murdered the eldest Uchiha.

He allowed himself to go back to that day once more.

Flashback

Sasuke winced in pain as Itachi slammed him to the ground. He was in a not so bad condition but Itachi was near death. He was breathing heavily, gasping for air every moment he was free from fighting. He had a deep cut going to his back thanks to Sasuke. Itachi also had blood pouring out of his mouth.

Sasuke was bleeding and had minor cuts. Nothing else bothered him enough to kill him fast.

"You're still weak...brother."

"I'm not your brother!"

"Then...who are you?"

"I'm Uchiha Sasuke! I am an avenger! Besides, you've already lost and I've won this battle."

"What do you mean-"

The one Itachi had slammed down to the ground poofed into smoke. The real Sasuke came behind Itachi and stabbed him, from behind, in his heart.

Itachi's eyes widened but they closed into slints as he fell to the ground. Sasuke began to chuckle evilly and flipped the man over, forcing the knife in further.

"Your time's up," Sasuke began before bending down, positing himself next to Itachi's ear. "I've won the battle," he whispered.

Itachi began to grin and soon chuckled. "Hahaha...now what? What do you do now that I'm dead?"

Sasuke grinded his teeth together, glaring. "Die.."

The youngest Uchiha stood up and watched his oldest brother die. Itachi's blood was covering the floor and Sasuke's shirt.

Flashback

A bird began to whistle, bringing Sasuke back to reality. "Enough distractions!" he informed himself. Again, he began to walk up the path, only thinking about the future.

Sakura entered the training field, trying her hardest to push Sasuke out of her mind.

"Hello Sakura-chan!"

Sakura smiled at the blond who was waving at her. Sai was drawing something in his tablet but looked up when he heard Sakura-chan.

The kunoichi immediately walked pass Naruto and sat down next to Sai.

"Good Morning my love," Sakura whispered.

"Good morning blossom."

Sai was almost completely normal now. He had gotten almost all his emotions down except anger. The artist still just smiled durning fights and confrontations.

Sai leaned over and planted a small peck on the pink haired girl's cheek and smiled at her. "You look absolutely stunning today."

Sakura snuggled against Sai, allowing him to wrap his arms around her.

About 2 hours later, a big cloud of smoke appeared with the masked ninja.

"Yo!"

Naruto began to yell and complain that he was late. Sakura just growled a little. Even Sai gave a quiet huff sound.

"Nice to see you too...Anyway, Sakura, you're needed in the Hokage's office immediately."

Sai let go of the kunoichi who stood up fast.

"But...I don't work today!" she complained.

The scarecrow smiled through his mask. "Not my problem, see you later on."

Sakura stomped away, pissed off and ready to beat the shit out of anyone who got in her way today. The kunoichi began to think of all the reasons Tsunade might want her. 'Anything as long as it's not a mission!' she prayed.


Ugh...sooo...tired! It's 1 am on the dot...goodnight
