Sakura sighed as she looked at Sasuke. He was healed, besides his wings. When the werewolf male went to do that she nearly panicked.
"STOP!!" She yelled and nearly tackled him to the ground. He looked at her with obvious confusion.
Naruto, hearing the scream and collision looked over in a hurry, followed by the rest in the room.
"What is wrong?" The werewolf asked as he stared at the panic stricken face of the pink haired elf. Sakura heaved a sigh of relief and got off the werewolf looking at Sasuke.
"You can't use any magic to heal Sasuke's wings. It causes more pain than good. We have to have a mender help. His wings need to heal the old fashion way or we could give him the possibility of never being able to fly again." Sakura explained. That got everyone, besides those who already knew who were in the resistance, to look at the torn, bloody and broken wings that were Sasuke's. The male werewolf nodded in understanding and looked to the still naked Sasuke. He sighed before looking to his younger sister. Nodding he left the room, only to return moments later with a pair of pants. Obviously, they were for Sasuke.
Sasuke looked around at the memory that was appearing before his eyes. It was the snowy town of Kousetsu. The snow fell gently from the sky, laying on the ground in soft blankets. Sasuke stared at the other children his age. He was once again forced to watch the others play and have fun while he was there all alone. Why did they hate him so much? Was it because his wings were growing in faster than theirs? Was it because his were as black as night while theirs were whiter than the snow around them? Why did they call him a half breed? Why did mother seem to sadden at the sight of him when he came home once again with dirt on his face and newly forming bruises? Why did she cry every night? Was he doing something wrong? Why did his mother seem miserable? And how could he help her feel better?
Sasuke walked the same path he had when he went home every day from the academy. The snow crunched under his feet as he walked down the snow covered walkway to the cottage at the edge of the village. He hoped that today, maybe, his mother wouldn't be as sad. He had gotten strait A's on his report. That would surely make her happy, right? But…what if it didn't? What would he do then?
Sasuke sighed as he stared at his front door. He opened it and walked in. He gasped when he saw a tall man standing there. He had long black hair, slightly spiky in the back, and glowing red eyes. Was he a vampire? Sasuke peered up at the tall man with wide onyx eyes. When his mother noticed his presence she smiled warmly at him and ushered him forward. The man, catching the action looked over as well. He smiled at the little boy in front of him.
"Sasuke-kun! So nice to finally meet you!" He said as he got up and walked over to the shorter 8-year old. Sasuke looked up at him, not trusting what this vampire like man was going to do. He smiled, enlarged canines showing in his mouth, as he kneeled down in front of Sasuke. He ruffled the small avian's hair affectionately. Mikoto, Sasuke's mom, smiled at him warmly before introducing the man.
"Sasuke-chan, this is uncle Madara. I want you to be nice, ok?" She said as she smiled at him. Sasuke looked at his happy mother, than to the smiling man before him. He was alright, if he made mother happy. Sasuke nodded to the man before looking back at his mom. She nodded in approval before looking back to Madara.
"Madara? Could you watch Sasuke-chan while I make supper? Your welcome to stay of course." She smiled at him. Madara looked at Mikoto before nodding. Mikoto, happy at the answer, hurried off to the kitchen to begin, knowing her growing son would be hungry soon.
Once she was gone Madara turned to Sasuke, seeing the young avian eyeing him untrustingly. Madara smirked. He had vampire in him alright. The small glint of crimson in his eyes were so much like his brothers and fathers. They would stay the family color once he was of age. When he would be able to breed. And when he did, he had plans for little Sasuke and the growing Itachi. But, until then, he would have to wait. Besides, he was getting hungry.
