Chapter 8: The Time Turner

"It's him! It's him!" Destiny screamed as she ran around the basement, sheer panic was written on her face.

"The man from my nightmares! He's dangerous! Sasuke! Please! LET'S GO!" She yelled when the ghost was now completely out of the wall. He stopped in front of Sasuke and stared into his shocked eyes deeply. Destiny couldn't take it. The woman lured them here, she lured them here to be exposed to this evil spirit, and Destiny saw through it. This was no normal, ordinary ghost, otherwise she wouldn't panic.

"Step away from him! He's evil!" Destiny yelled but Sasuke still did not budge. Glowing red eyes swept over to Destiny; the man's intense gaze pierced through the girl and on an instant, with a loud yelp, Destiny stumbled head over heals ahead to the door.

"REDUCTO!" She yelled and the door blast open, wood flew around the room, through the ghost, but before she could move out of the door, Sasuke appeared in front of her, his Kusanagi drawn, cornering her against the wall. "If you dare make any attempts to flee, I will kill you." He hissed and ripped away her wand and sealed it back.

Destiny's eyes filled with tears but she did not give Sasuke the satisfaction of seeing her cry. She swallowed her dry spit, glared at him, nostrils flaring, but the ghost with red eyes stared so deeply at her that she did not make any attempts to attack now. Destiny recalled what Sasuke had called him. No. No way. But of course. Her eyes widened as she stood back, looking at the dark haired ghost with red eyes, at the man that has haunted her sleep, the man that Sasuke had just referred to as his brother. She couldn't believe it. Sasuke turned around and stepped in front of the man, fierce eyes staring back at him. The ghost came closer, hovering above the ground even more. Both men continued to stare at each other for a while, before Sasuke, who seemed to have grown roots on the spot, broke the silence.

"Itachi..." Said Sasuke in a whispery voice, watching how the ghost reacted to being called that name. He smiled at Sasuke, but the latter stepped back, opposite to Destiny. Was he, at last, just as frightened?

"How is this possible..." Sasuke muttered but at that moment, Itachi turned around to Destiny and pointed to her. Her heart began beating faster, her eyes shot up, Sasuke and Destiny looked at each other before Itachi turned back around to his brother and pointed to the Uchiha crest on the wall again, lowering his arm. Sasuke shook his head.

"Brother, I don't understand, I don't understand!" He exclaimed. "What does it mean...? What's the truth?" He ran his hands through his hair and that's when Itachi pointed to the crest once more. Destiny frowned. Something was with that crest and he wanted to tell his brother. Encouraged by the motivation of finding out, she got up and walked over to the wall and traced her hand along the symbol, frowning.

"Sasuke, come here, quick!" And no sooner than those words left Destiny's mouth had Sasuke already jumped up, walking over to the wall. Destiny pointed to a brick that seemed a little out of place, Sasuke held his cheek against it and nodded. "There's air coming out. Must be another room." He frowned and touched around the wall, then threw his weight against it, dust falling from the stones while Destiny stepped back, shrieking a little upon seeing Itachi next to her. Itachi glanced over to the girl, he had the same thin and straight line that his brother had but his mouth twitched into a soft smile when he glanced at Destiny and her back, pointing to the Uchiha's crest, and Destiny threw up her hands, shaking her head and exclaiming with tone of desperate laughter.

"Ooooh! You think Sasuke and I? No, no, no, no! He's not, I'm not, I mean, we are not, I-"

"Be quiet, Destiny."

Itachi smiled even more and suddenly his red eyes appeared hilariously normal. Destiny, still freighted and too scared to provoke him now without her wand, forced a smile back, of course not too trusting of the man but she had no choice but to wait for what would happen next.

Sasuke stopped and didn't say a word for a second, then glanced over his shoulder, exhaling deeply, but he glared and walked over to his brother, staring intensively into his eyes, and as Destiny saw it, though so very unlikely and difficult to interpret, Sasuke seemed to hold a grudge.

"Why have you come back!" Sasuke suddenly hissed at Itachi but his attention was forced back when the sound of grinding bricks filled his ears, the wall with the Uchiha's crest moved round as Destiny pressed against it, and revealed a stony entrance that led all the way ahead. Black flames lit up the small path and Sasuke's eyes widened to an abnormal size; only seeing his brother earlier was comparable to that. Itachi moved past him and flew ahead, glancing over his shoulder, clearly indicating Sasuke and Destiny to follow.

"I'm scared..." Whimpered the girl as she rubbed her shoulder, feeling like she should not tag along. Sasuke looked at her but away again and started to follow his brother, leaving the girl behind.

Destiny, beyond insecure, was conflicted. She could run away now, not returning to the Akatsuki. But she couldn't. Sasuke still had her time turner and her wand, and as long as he had sealed everything away she could not reach it, could not leave. Before losing the two brothers out of sight, she dashed ahead and caught up with them, shrieking when a few more bats flew around with no reaction from the two males. After some time that felt like forever, they finally came to a halt. Destiny panted heavily, clinging to her waist because she could barely keep up with Sasuke and his brother, not yet seeing what Sasuke saw by now.

"A ladder..." Mumbled the girl when her eyes adjusted to the darkness. She looked around but Itachi wasn't to be seen anymore. Just when she was about to ask where he was, Sasuke pulled on the ladder to make sure that it would take his weight, then started to climb up. Destiny watched from below, seeing that Sasuke pressed against the ceiling and she jumped to the side when a couple of stones rained down and even more dust. A loud creaking sound told her that Sasuke managed to open what was obviously a trapdoor. He stretched his head up, then disappeared from view. Destiny, feeling betrayed and left behind, was about to bark out at him but Sasuke peeped his head back through the hole.

"I can't believe it..." He started and panted.

"Why, what is it, where are you?"

"At home..." Sasuke murmured and Destiny gasped. Her head hurt. After a moment of utmost curiosity and confusion, Destiny finally started to think about the fact that Itachi might not be a bad and evil ghost, maybe just desperate to tell his brother something that he did not seem to understand. Suddenly everything made sense. Itachi has visited her nightmares not to scare her. He wanted her, she who was the only one to see and contact ghosts, to help Sasuke understanding. Destiny started to climb up the ladder and reached the top with Sasuke's help. Destiny frowned. What kind of room was this?

"We are in my parents closet." Said Sasuke softly and dusted himself off as he got up and Destiny frowned more, she remembered.

"Your brother stood in front of a closet in my nightmare...with his back turned...and a sword...bloody tip..." She said softly and looked around but her mouth gapped open upon spotting something interesting; A picture. The woman, the ghost that appeared before, she was on it with Itachi and Sasuke and a man.

"She's your mother!" Destiny exclaimed and Sasuke looked at her with a raised eyebrow upon this not so new information.

"No, you don't understand...That's the woman, that's the ghost I've seen. She's what was leading you and me to that shrine, she's who tried to make me enter this house when I was here in Konoha...it all makes sense now...why didn't I think of this before? You look so much like her, Sasuke! But she was so young and...I didn't think her to be your mother...I'm so...argh." Destiny ran her hand through her hair as Sasuke walked around.

"You said it all makes sense...but where." He sighed softly but lit up some candles with a matchstick.

"I don't know...I think they just wanted to show us that your home has always been connected to that shrine. That text you've been reading seems to hold whatever truth. It seems like...they want to confront you with the past." Said Destiny.

Sasuke leaned against the wall, the moonlight shining down on his bare chest as he scoffed and crossed his arms. "I know the truth about my brother." He murmured and stared out of the window.

"How did he die?" Asked Destiny but she inwardly gasped when Sasuke's eyes shot at her like daggers. "I'm sorry...I'm sure it's horrible for you to lose your bro-"

"I killed him."

Destiny's mouth gapped open, she stepped back from Sasuke, as far as she could. She stared at him from the distance, shaking her head. "Why...why would you do that?"

Sasuke glared again and once more, Destiny knew she asked things she shouldn't be asking. But she couldn't stop it. There was so much more to this.

"He killed my clan. My parents. Everyone that I cared about when I was a child. I trusted him. I loved him."

Destiny's jaw hurt, that's how much it widened, her eyes were round as marbles, dilated and twitching in disbelief and compassion, her nose tickled when she shook her head and ran her hand through her hair, squeaking with a voice filled with tears. "Oh Merlin, how much pain, how awful, what a torture for you to endure...I'm so sorry Sasuke..." She sniffled, not able to hold back the tears. But Sasuke glared at her again.

"My brother. Was. A hero." He murmured. "You wouldn't understand. The only thing that would help...is to make things unhappen. But that's not possible." He sighed and Destiny's eyes widened, slowly, she looked away. And that's when, unfortunately for the girl, Sasuke's interest was brought to her.

"What is it." Sasuke asked with a suspicious tone and pushed himself off of the wall. He walked closer to her but Destiny shook her head fiercely. "We...Should probably...return. They might be looking for us." She muttered.

Sasuke looked down to her, stared into her eyes deeply and intensively and Destiny tried to not let him see that she wasn't all too concerned about something. "Fine." He said coldly and suddenly picked her up.

"Hey! Let me down, I-"

"Be quiet. You're too slow." He said in a low voice, blew off the candles and disappeared through the trapdoor. When Destiny opened her eyes next, she found herself tucked in the bed later that morning, sunlight hitting her face. She sat up and rubbed her eyes, looking around only to see Sasuke sitting against the wall, staring at her with an expressionless gaze.

"It wasn't a dream, was it?" Asked the girl. Sasuke shook his head. Destiny sighed and got up, roamed around in her bag and pulled out her own clothes, walking over to the bathroom and starting the shower while thinking of everything that happened that night. Why was the woman, who obviously was Sasuke's mother, gone as soon as Itachi was there? What did Sasuke read on the crest, why was his old home connected to that place? And why did Sasuke never find the trapdoor under the carpet in the closet? Why did he never find the shrine, why could he only read the text as soon as he touched the crest? And his awful past, why did these things happen? Why did Sasuke's brother kill his whole clan and why did Sasuke still view him as a hero? Was his clan evil? So many questions and none of them were answered. Destiny stepped out of the shower a lot later, blushing a little as she got dressed and picked up the clothes that Sasuke gave to her, starting to wash them in the sink as she remembered Itachi's indication. A knock against the door made Destiny jump.

"Lunch time. Hurry up."

Destiny walked out of the room, following Sasuke who, for the split of a second, seemed a tad interested in what the girl was wearing.

"Do you not have normal clothes." He then asked coldly and Destiny frowned, looking down to her body. "Why? I like dresses." She said but Sasuke sighed and shook his head. Destiny understood why later.

"Whoooooo! Sexy witch, no need to pretty yourself up for me so much!" Cheered Hidan as he pulled Destiny closer but the girl frowned and tried to push him away. "Stop it..."

'Gosh, it's just a dress! It's not even short, it reaches below my knees and it's just black, nothing special' or so Destiny thought.

"Okay so I got my dessert next to me, where's the rest?" Smirked Hidan and stretched his neck up. Kisame grinned slightly and put down the food, everyone was sitting by now.

"Potato stew? Are you fucking kidding me?" Growled Hidan as he peeped into the pot, a look of disgust written all over his face.

"There's bits of meat inside, stop whining un." Sighed Deidara and earned a harsh glare from Hidan as his plate was filled. Destiny couldn't help but chuckle a little.

"What's your favorite meal, Hidan?" She asked.

"Spareribs! Spareribs are the motherfucking orgasm of meaty dishes! Fuck the rest, just give me meat and I'm fine. And go to hell with that hay!" He pointed to the salad and Destiny bursted out laughing. "HAY!" She repeated, hearing the rest of the men chuckling along, though probably only because Destiny laughed so hard that she started to cry. Hidan leaned back, his arm around Destiny's chair as he grinned cockily.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm funny okay. You know, you could get that all day long if only you chose to be with me instead of that Uchiha brat over there." He nudged his chin over to Sasuke who sat opposite to Destiny and did not say a word. His eyes merely narrowed a slight bit at Hidan.

"It wasn't exactly my choice..." Mumbled Destiny and started to eat so she wouldn't have to look at the glare that was shot at her from Sasuke's direction.

"You...girl." Started Sasori. "Are you interested in art?"

Destiny smiled brightly and nodded. "Why yes, how do you know?"

"I got the vibes..." He said smoothly and Deidara grinned widely as well. "What kind of art are you interested in, un?"

"Anything! At school I used to take art classes for magical photography and paintings. They're different to those in the muggle world, our paintings and photos actually move and the people we paint can talk, too. When we paint someone who's real or used to be real, we can even give them the same traits of their personality and they will kind of live through the painting. Well not exactly, they're of course dead and...they can't come back to the living." Destiny's eyes unintentionally swept to Sasuke, he glanced back, but both tended to their meals again.

"That's...amazing..." Murmured Sasori with eyes wide open. "Eternal artwork, the body is dead but they truly live forever through art..."

"Bullshit un." Said Deidara suddenly. "True art lasts only a breath, the momentum of real beauty is gone the second it's born, un! That's why explosions are the best type of art!" He exclaimed but Destiny chuckled when Sasori and Deidara started to bicker and argue on the topic.

"What kind of payment do you use in the world of magic?" Asked Kakuzu with his gruff voice suddenly. Chills ran through Destiny's body.

"Money." Said Destiny, about to explain what money is but Kakuzu chuckled and shook his head. "I know what money is."

"Oh yeah, fuckface knows..." Murmured Hidan and rolled his eyes as he stole a bit of meat from Deidara, who was way too busy to notice while still discussing with Sasori.

"So..." Kakuzu started again and shoved his bowl to the side, resting forward on his elbows to look into Destiny's face more closely. "How much money do witches and wizards have?"

Destiny raised an eyebrow. "Money is no problem to those who have it, just like money is a problem to those who don't."

Kakuzu smirked, seemingly interested in the girl now. At least she was sharp enough to see through and avoid his true question.

"And was it a problem for you?" He then asked and Destiny chuckled and shook her head. It still was not clear whether she refused to answer his question or maybe even answered his questions with a 'No'. Kakuzu grinned again but he decided not to further talk about it, not yet, that is.

"Why won't you paint me, hmm? Just me, my body...and you..." He murmured and twisted some strands of her hair around his index finger again but Destiny's eyes widened in shock. "Oh Merlin no, no way, so I have to hear you in reality AND in that painting?" And a few of them chuckled, Hidan shook his head though and huffed. "You weren't so cool when you screamed my name that day."

Looks of interest and frowns met Destiny, she shook her head in shock and embarrassment. "It's, it's not what you think!" She exclaimed but Hidan sighed theatrically. "She's shy and she's hiding it."

"Stop it!"

"She can't admit..."

"Hidan!"

"Just like that, that's how you said it! HIDAN! PLEASE!" He laughed and pushed her head away when she crossed her arms and puffed up her cheeks. "I'm just playing around. We all know you don't want to sit in that hole with Sasuke. Soooo. I guess it's time to say it now, eh? See, I told leader that you're scared and that you moaned, I mean, screamed my name, wanted me to fuck, I mean, help you...and I told him that the brat over there can't do you, I mean, can't treat you good. And that I could do it a lot better."

"And of course he said no, un." Smirked Deidara but Hidan shook his head. "Nope. Said yes. Said I can have the girl to show her around a little."

"You're lying." Said Sasuke dryly as he sipped on his tea. Hidan looked at him with the utmost serious expression he could muster.

"I am not, Uchiha." He said darkly, and in all seriousness now. "Because scaring the witch is counterproductive for the organization. And that's why she will stay with me."

"She won't." Said Sasuke with narrowed eyes. "It was my task-"

"To get her! It was your fucking task to get her, I asked leader. And you did. She's here now, isn't she?! She'll stay with me, I don't give a damn about your tantrums."

"Watch it." Growled Sasuke as he got up from his chair, not losing eye contact with Hidan, who got up the same moment and just glared.

"Oi, oi!" Kisame said gently and waved the palm of his hands up and down, indicating them to relax again. "Fighting is no option." He added. "Let the girl decide where she wants to stay."

Sasuke and Hidan both looked at the girl but Destiny didn't know what to do. She didn't want to stay with someone else while Sasuke had her wand and time turner, then again, she really wasn't keen on staying with him at all. Hidan was funny, and even though he acted like a true asshat, he had was okay.

"Remember what I told you, Destiny." Murmured Sasuke and glanced to Hidan, then at the girl again.

"Oh! What did you tell her about me, eh?! What kind of bullshit did he tell you, girl?" Hidan turned to Destiny and everyone watched and listened; since the girl was here their entertainment increased drastically. Destiny shook her head and glanced to her tea, stirring it around with her spoon to occupy her hands.

"The truth." Is all Sasuke said as he got up.

"Come, Destiny." He said firmly but Hidan pulled Destiny back as she almost automatically was about to follow Sasuke.

"You stay here! You're not going with him, he's just going to hurt you again! Remember what he did to your neck?! Ah don't look at me like that, Uchiha! You almost choked her. Not with your dick, of course, that's way too small-" though Sasuke, having had enough, directed a large fireball to the table, everyone jumped aside as it lit up; Kisame instantly blew water at it to avoid further damage. Destiny just stood there with her back pressed against the wall flatly, her eyes widened and still, her mouth gapped open. How could these people perform these things with no magic, she just could not understand.

"MOTHERFUCKER! I'M HAVING ENOUGH OF YOUR SHIT! LORD JASHIN WILL BE PROUD, SACRIFICING THE LAST UCHIHA AND FINALLY BE RID OF THAT ARROGANCE ALL OF YOU WERE BORN WITH!" Hidan yelled and made attempts to lunge out at Sasuke who had drawn his sword, but Destiny hugged around Hidan's back from behind. "No...No Hidan, please!" She squeaked and Hidan lowered his dagger, turning around to Destiny.

"Step away girl, this has nothing to do with you. I've been wanting to do this for some time now..." He murmured but some tears streamed down on Destiny's cheeks and everyone just kind of stared at each other in confusion; even Sasuke frowned upon seeing that.

"Don't kill him...nobody deserves to be killed..." She whimpered and it was clear for everyone that something from Destiny's past caught up with her just now. Hidan frowned and snarled his nose, then put his dagger back.

"Consider yourself lucky that a girl saved your sorry ass." He glared at Sasuke but Sasuke just raised an eyebrow but felt above commenting, he merely grabbed Destiny's arm snd pulled her along.

"You are not going to have any kind of meal out there anymore." Said Sasuke through gritted teeth. "I'll bring the food to my room." He added and closed his door with a loud thud, locking it as always. Destiny said nothing as she still sniffled and rubbed her arm gently, sitting down on the ground, leaning against the corner. Sasuke stared at her but he knelt down to her level, he seemed a lot calmer now they they were back in his room. "Why are you crying." He demanded in his usual cold voice but Destiny shook her head.

"Do you miss home?" He then asked and Destiny shook her head. "I could never miss home, no...you can't imagine how horrible it was..."

"Why did you run away." Sasuke demanded again but Destiny glanced up to him in the same way he usually looked at her when she asked too much. Sasuke, however, did not turn his face away.

"You've seen my father..." Said Destiny and sighed, running a hand through her hair. It felt good.

"I told you the conversation was in a strange language, when I've seen the memory of you and your father." And to Destiny's surprise, he then sat down next to her.

"I've told you things I didn't want to tell anyone..." Sasuke started. "It's your turn."

Destiny looked at him, sighing softly but she inhaled and nodded.

"I want to understand your world. What exactly is that school you talked about during lunch?"

"It's called Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hogwarts was founded by two witches and two wizards, they created the four houses according to their last name. Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor and Slytherin. All students get sorted into a house depending on their personality, interest and qualities that match one of the houses best. The houses represent them and they represent the houses. Helga Hufflepuff, founder of Hufflepuff, sought students with qualities such as loyalty and extreme fairness, while Rowena Ravenclaw has only allowed students in her house that were very intelligent and witty. Godric Gryffindor looked for the bravest and most daring for his house and Slytherin...demanded the most cunning and ambitious. Once a student gets sorted into a house, they can't change it anymore and will be a part of it until they finish school. Due to differences in opinion, Slytherin and Gryffindor broke bonds and Slytherin left the school. That was over a thousand years you must know...my father and I are the last living relatives of Salazar Slytherin. He was known to speak the language of snakes, we call it Parsel. And that's also the language you've heard my father and I talking. Welll, Slytherin, not only did he look for the most cunning and ambitious, but another quality he demanded of his students was a pure linage. He was a pure blood supremacist. He believed that muggle born students, and yes, they do exist, have no right to be taught magic, saying that only witches and wizards of the 'true' blood are entitled to do such. My father...long lost in the belief that he was above any other witch or wizard, takes great pride in the fact that he was chosen because of his special blood. I believe that's how it all started as a child, or at least it has a lot to do with what he is today. Today. No witch or wizards ever dares to speak his name. They only refer to him as "he-who-must-not-be-named" or "you know who", due to his crimes against muggles, mudbloods, as he and his followers call muggleborn witches or wizards, and other terrible wrongdoings against anything below magical heritage. He's obsessed with blood purity and immortality. He's obsessed with himself. And he kills everyone who is in his way, irregardless of them being loyal followers or natural enemies. I grew up in between his battle with the rest of the world, the rise of the Dark Lord, as he is called, and the influence of the Death Eaters, his followers that were my family, and Slytherin, shadow of the past to dictate my future, as I, of course, was sorted into the house of Slytherin at school. The house has a reputation of being evil, but that's not true. The things around it made was worst. And I hated it. I hated it so much..." Destiny gritted her teeth, just now realizing that her whole face was wet from tears.

"I hated every bit of that life. Everyone around me was blinded, too scared to change anything, and my father was no fool, Sasuke, my father is very intelligent and cunning, he's manipulative and he knows how to get people to bow down to his will. He's controlling the whole magical community...but he could never control me, his only daughter." She said at last, clearing her throat and narrowing her eyes as she looked up the ceiling in a tiny bit of pride.

"He couldn't break me...and he tried. Everyone tried. I was punished, almost killed, but barely alive, alive enough to still see the truth, to still see through him. I was a tool, like everyone else, I was supposed to be the good daughter that he expected me to be, was supposed to be the role model to other witches and wizards, showing them the way of Salazar Slytherin, showing them the way of Lord Voldemort. But he soon realized that something did not work, I stopped receiving top grades at school, I ran against my ambitious nature, I rebelled, I started to fight, started to reject everything throughout the years, as I grew older. Destiny cleared her throat again and Sasuke listened with great interest.

"That conversation from my memory was shortly before my graduation at Hogwarts, I was seventeen, it was about how he found out that I started to date a muggleborn student. He confronted me with it, and told me he killed him, believing that would get me back to his ideals."

Sasuke's eyes widened a little, he shook his head in disbelief but turned his attention back to Destiny when she continued.

"And then there was the day, years later, I was promised to a male pureblood, Draco Malfoy, I was supposed to marry him. Over six hundred people attended the wedding, and Draco was so proud that I would become his, but I had planned it long ago. I refused. I turned around in front of the altar, I ran as fast as my legs could carry me after I disapparsted, I stripped out of the dress and had only one place to go. To the ministry of magic. Bellatrix, Draco's aunt, she followed me and almost caught me but I was faster, I jumped into the portal and...here I am." Destiny looked at Sasuke then, smiling lightly.

Sasuke looked at her, his mouth in a straight line but he was clearly interested. With a low scuff, he shook his head, but pulled out a scroll. Destiny frowned when he suddenly summoned the time turner, holding it up.

"This. Tell the truth. What is it."

Destiny shook her head. "Nothing, just a necklace."

"Really?" Sasuke asked and raised an eyebrow. "It wasn't just a necklace when I played around with it on the first day you got here."

Destiny said no word.

"And if it's just a necklace, why did you say that you couldn't leave without it, when you tried to convince me to give back your wand before we entered the shrine?"

Destiny looked at him, shaking her head. "Why did you even take it off me?"

"I didn't, it fell off when I picked you up in Konoha. And when you panicked, I knew it had to mean something." He pointed to the little hourglass now. "And yesterday." He started. "You seemed pretty tense when I suggested that only to make the past undone could help my case."

Destiny shook her head again. "Sasuke...ask no further, please..."

"I can turn back time with this thing here, can't I?" He asked absentmindedly and played around with it but Destiny clutched her hand around it. "Stop it...stop! You have no idea what you're saying!" She tried to take it away from his hands but he held it up into the air so she couldn't reach it.

"Tell me about this necklace now." He frowned. "Tell me!"

Destiny stared into his eyes deeply, gulped, then sighed. "You are right. It turns back time. But!" She exclaimed as his eyes lit up in joy. "You can't simply turn back time! I know what you want to do! That's impossible! Impossible I say! Too many risks, time is such a complex thing!"

But Sasuke just grinned as he held the necklace in his hands. "My mother found you...my brother was in your dreams...you're here for a reason...it's destiny. And now I have this tool to turn back time and you tell me it's impossible? No, girl..." Sasuke shook his head and chuckled. "No. This is exactly what's supposed to happen." He smiled, eyes glistening as he reached out but Destiny covered the right part around the necklace yet again but Sasuke muttered.

"I'll just go back to the time when my parents were still alive...stop my brother, yes..."

"Sasuke PLEASE hear me out!" Destiny screamed now, forcing Sasuke's attention back.

"Five hours are the maximum! One has to relive the time they go back, NOBODY is allowed to change the past!"

"You got that time turner for a reason! I bet you got it so just in case you could make whatever happens here unhappen! Don't lie to me, Destiny!"

"But...but I would never plan on turning back time for...for..."

"Sixteen years." Sasuke grinned and his gaze that wandered back to the time turner was almost demented, he was obsessed with his idea but Destiny shook her head again and a laughter of disbelief escaped her lips.

"Sixteen years! You're crazy! Impossible! I told you! I told you, five hours is the maximum! SIXTEEN YEARS! you are out of your mind! Impossible! It's not like you turn it and then suddenly you made things unhappen! You have to ACTIVELY alter the past and that is forbidden, it results in too many problems for the future you live in the present! You have to relive sixteen years, your present self is going to be TRAPPED in the past for sixteen years, do you not understand? If your past self sees you, oh Merlin, if anyone sees you, they would go mad, you will have to hide for sixteen years!"

"Me?" Sasuke chuckled but Destiny frowned, not understanding.

"We." Sasuke then said and continued eying up the time turner and Destiny frowned, shaking her head again, she couldn't believe it.

"You, you expect me to live with you for sixteen years?! Hide for sixteen years!?" She exclaimed but Sasuke suddenly looked at her intensively. "You ran away from your past. What do you have to lose? Are you scared to take responsibility for your life? Scared to alter your past?"

"Yes! Yes I am fucking scared to alter it! And you too would be if only you understood the severity of that plan, it's impossible! I don't even know if we would ever meet ourselves from the future then, I have no clue if we can age in the past - and we could never get to our future selves because we're sixteen years older then, and, and it might result in unbirths and-"

But Sasuke did not listen. He continued staring at the time turner. With eyes twinkled in hope and longing, he looked at Destiny, and she could not help but wonder if he would have been sorted into Slytherin, for she had only seen such ambitious eyes in that house.
