Sasuke sits on top of his house mesmerized at the sight of the moon as it bathes the village in a silvery glow. He begins to recall the events of the day and the shocking assumption of Naruto potentially cutting himself. Sasuke begins remembering the night Itachi destroyed the Uchiha clan, as it was on a night just like this one; not a cloud in the sky and stars surrounding the moon high in the sky.

Sasuke remembers the days when he was so depressed he considered cutting himself. He was always too afraid to actually do it. He would sit in the basement, where it dark with the exception of 1 lone light bulb, with liquor bottles surrounding him. Sasuke never let anyone know, but he was already a heavy drinker, always trying to drink away his past and memories.

One day, after a very rough mission, he began to again relive that night his clan was murdered. He went downstairs, took out very strong vodka and took a few gulps. Already beginning to feel a bit tipsy, he slowly begins to sit on the floor and pulls out a kunai. Sasuke sets it above his wrist and hesitates a few inches above the skin. Beginning to feel his nerve leave him, he takes a few more gulps of vodka, trying to get to oblivion. Beginning to feel his courage come back, he takes the kunai and lifts it to stab his wrist. As he swings downward, the doorbell rings as the kunai is a few millimeters above his skin. Frustrated, Sasuke flings the kunai at the wall and watches it get stuck in a wooden stud in the wall. The doorbell rings again and Sasuke heads upstairs. To his surprise it was Naruto.

Flashback

"Dobe? What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to ask you something," Naruto hesitates.

"Well, Dobe, what do you want? Spit it out"

"I wanted to ask you if you wanted to spar with me. Since we don't have a mission today. It's been a while since just you and I sparred."

Sasuke looks at Naruto with a widened eyes.

"Dobe, it's called a day off for a reason. And besides, as for why we haven't sparred in a while, it's because you always lose and aren't much of a sparring partner. I never get a work out with you. Don't ever come back." Sasuke slams the door in Naruto's face.

Sasuke walks back downstairs, sits on the floor for a while taking an occasional swig of vodka.

"I was too harsh on him. Maybe it would be good to go sparring."

Sasuke heads back upstairs, leaving his bottle downstairs and leaves his house. 'It hasn't been that long since Naruto left. Maybe he went to the training grounds.'

Sasuke makes his way there to find the grounds empty and bear. 'I guess I can try his house' Sasuke turns and heads toward Naruto's house. Upon arriving, he knocks for 10 minutes and receives no answer. 'Oh well. Maybe he found someone else. I'll just go back home to my bottles.'

End Flashback

Sasuke picks up the bottle of vodka sitting beside him and takes a long drink, downing the alcohol.

Suddenly Sasuke feels a chill overcome him and sense of foreboding. 'What is the feeling? My chest feels tight. Something is not right. It can't be…' Sasuke drops his bottle and runs/leaps to his destination.

"I knew it. Why are you doing this?" Sasuke asks himself as he looks at the person responsible for his foreboding feeling.

"What do you want Itachi?!"
