Chapter 5: A troubling situation

Naruto was kicking himself that he lost Sasuke so easily, he couldn't afford to let the Uchiha leave again. He felt like he was getting to him, even if was a tiny bit. Determined to track him down again Naruto picked up his pace.

Sasuke, on the other hand, found himself in an oddly familiar part of the village. With so much stuff crowding his head he didn't even realize where his feet had taken him. It was a district forgotten by time, the entrance blocked off by old looking police tape. A horrible feeling settled in his stomach, but why? His curiosity pushed him to breach the tape and explore this place. The buildings he passed were decrepit and covered in moss and plant life. It was odd how at home Sasuke felt, and at the same time his chest started to tighten up. His head turned up when he heard someone land on a nearby rooftop.

"This is quite an interesting predicament, wouldn't you say Sasuke-kun?"

Meanwhile Kakashi met up with Naruto, a bag slung over his shoulder. He glanced down at the blond before speaking.

"No one was home." It was clear he wasn't happy to see Naruto alone. "Did something happen..?"

"If it wasn't for Kiba…" He muttered under his breath, his fist clenched. "He had to go and mention his brothers name…"

The jonin narrowed his eyes a bit, it wasn't like he couldn't read his lips. That could be something to trigger that memory of his and he knew how much Naruto wanted Sasuke to stay in the village. Letting his face soften Kakashi offered some support with a firm hand on the others shoulder.

"He can't have gone too far, we can find him." He would make sure those words weren't empty.

With some new determination the two went off in search of the raven.

Sasuke staggered back when he was met with icy golden eyes and a sly smile, this man was off putting. A red flag was going off in his head, he was bad news and every part of him was screaming to run the other way but his body didn't respond. A low chuckle didn't help, Sasuke's body started to shake.

"Is that anyway to greet your teacher?" He laughed as he stepped off the building and landed gracefully in front of him. "Or perhaps you've forgotten all about me?"

Of course it was obvious to Orochimaru, Sasuke had thrown away his fear of him in return for seeking power but here he was cowering before him.

"I went through all the trouble of sneaking in here to find you." His smirk grew. "My dear Sasuke-kun this isn't where you belong, come with me and I can show you your true home."

The raven's eyebrows knitted together in confusion, why would he say that. But he did know him by name maybe he knew a few things, so swallowing his fear he managed to calm down a bit. Sasuke was going to finally get some answers, ones he wanted to hear...no he needed to hear.

He stepped forward a bit cautiously. "I...I want you to tell me everything…" It was more of a demand than anything.

With that smirk still plastered onto his face Orochimaru chuckled, without hesitating the snake outstretched his arm and clamped down on Sasuke arm. "I'll tell you as soon as we return back."

"W-Wait..!" Sasuke immediately regretted even mustering up the courage to talk to this guy. "I don't want to go!"

It seemed the more the dark haired teen struggled the tighter Orochimaru's grip became. He then began to drag him in, Sasuke could only dig his heels into the dirt, it slowed him down even just a little bit. Shuriken flew in and struck the snake's arm, the pain forcing him to let go of the boy. The Uchiha fell back but didn't stay down as he scrambled to his feet and ran toward the direction of where the weapon was thrown.

"I thought i smelt something fishy…" Kakashi spoke up as the shaken Sasuke hid behind him. "I would advise you leave now…" Though it sounded like a threat the two of them could never dream of taking down the Sannin and if they called for backup it would take a while for them to get there.

Orochimaru kept his cool as he crossed his arms. "For now, but I promise you i'll be back for him when he's more willing." He seemed confident that Sasuke will want to leave again as soon as his memories return.

The two were less tense as he left. "We're going to have to be more careful…" Kakashi muttered. "Let's get out of here.." Though a hand on his sleeve stopped him from walking the two boys out of the compound, he blinked and looked down at Sasuke who still hasn't calmed down from the encounter.

Even when he wanted to talk, no words came from his mouth. The silver haired Jonin's face softened, Sasuke was so easy to read now.

"It's okay, everything will become clear soon but for now don't force them to come otherwise you'll probably hurt yourself." He gently patted his head. "Come on let's get you two settled down."
