Suddenly, he felt an extreme force...as his world faded to black.
Sasuke slowly opened his eyes and blinked a few times, looking around. He noticed he was inside of a place that seemed to be wet and made of stone. 'What the hell?' He thought as he noticed that the stone floors and walls weren't just damp, the whole room was practically flooded with water. Suddenly he felt the hairs stand on the back of his neck as he realized someone was behind him. The person behind him chuckled with amusement at Sasuke's shocked horror.
"It's been too long, Uchiha Sasuke."
Sasuke forced an blank, uninterested expression onto his face. "Yes it has. I take it he'll arrive soon?"
"Of course," the form chuckled again, "isn't he always if I'm around?"
Sasuke figured the two were as inseparable as Siamese twins-that was the purpose of the question. Instead of commenting, though, he only calmly checked his weapon pouches, not surprised as he found they were empty. "Did you expect I would attack the two of you, or is this just standard procedure?"
The other laughed full-heartedly. "Both; given the bad blood in your history, I couldn't take chances. You understand, of course?" Sasuke could hear the grin the other male almost never let slip.
"Of course," though he sincerely wished he had his weapons for he'd never felt so on edge since first meeting Orochimaru in the chuunin exams.
"Don't be so tense, Sasuke," the man giggled, "it's not as if you need weapons to win in a battle, right? I mean, you are Uchiha after all, aren't you?"
Sasuke grit his teeth to hold back useless tears as he remembered his ill-fated family.
"Speak of the devil," the older male grinned at the new arrival. Sasuke turned to see he had indeed shown his face to the fifteen-year-old.
"Hello again, Sasuke. It's been far too long." He heard the familiar, deep voice say to him.
"Not long enough, Itachi."
