One Hundred Moments

Chapter 010: Smile

Dedication: kyo12591

"Sasuke, why don't you ever go home?"

She already knew why, but it was hard to believe. She heard him voice what made her heart break all over again.

"I don't have a home anymore, and neither do you."

Sakura was on the verge of tears as she kicked her leg in the water, watching her reflection rippled. Biting her lip, she forced a small smile. "He was always so nice, how could he have—"

"Don't talk about him," the small boy ordered sternly from beside her, "Stop crying. We can't change anything."

"How can you say that, Sasuke?!" She screamed suddenly at his nonchalant attitude. "Your parents are gone too! Don't you miss them at all?! It's your brother—!" Her eyes widened when he yelled for her to remain silent.

It was his brother's fault. Such a cold-hearted person, he didn't deserve such a title as 'brother.' A real brother would never slay his own parents, and recruit others to slay the rest a the village. Their families, their everythings.

All Sasuke can smell is ash, and the only thing he can hear are the smoldering remains that he used to call home.

He clenched his teeth, all the while wondering why he didn't just take him too. What was a boy like him supposed to do with only one companion in the world, one of which needed protecting herself?

His eyelids lowered when she threw herself in his arms, crying that she missed everyone so much.

That was why he would kill his last living relative.

"My Okaa-san always told me to look forward to something better," he muttered under his breath, repressing his own tears. "They would've wanted us to smile, Sakura." He held onto her tightly. "Smile."

Owari

Authoress' Note: That was sick. How dare I make Itachi recruit goons and then kill of the entire village except the two of them? I'm just evil like that. Oh, and why didn't he kill Sasuke and Sakura? Let's just say that they were hiding and call it a night. (Don't question it, I'm the author.

P. S. La duh it couldn't really happen. But this is fanfiction.
