Sasuke growled while he scanned the airport. It was amazing how he got into these predicaments. "I swear, this is the last time I'd ever go to Shikamaru's house," he hissed under his breath. "That harpy wife of his is crazy! She scares the shit out of me!" Sasuke shuddered, and stared down at the picture in his hand. "What if she's just like the harpy?"

He narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the tiny photo. The picture was of a young girl, who was no older then twelve, however she was beautiful even at her age. This girl was definitely one of the most exotic ones he'd ever seen. She had long wavy pink hair, and the brightest emerald green eyes. Those eyes captivated him, they were so cheerful, so innocent, so unlike himself. She wore a dark maroon dress and had the largest smile on her face. Sasuke smirked, and pushed through the crowd to search for an older version of the pink-haired girl.

"Damn it," he hissed, when he saw the clock. "She must have gotten off her flight by now." Sasuke mentally smacked himself, and winced. He could just picture it, now he was going to have TWO screeching harpies out of his blood. It was just his luck.

He quickly shoved the picture into his wallet, making sure that he didn't accidentally wrinkle it. The harpy made it very clear that her only picture of her friend, and that he would die a miserable death if he somehow "misplaced" it. Then he jerked up and ran threw the crowd, in search of a certain emerald-eyed women.

"How hard can it be to find someone?" he wondered impatiently, trying to keep his temper leashed when he passed a giggling group of women. Sasuke all but stomped around the perimeter of the airport, ignoring the curious glances of nearby pedestrians. "Where was she?"

Sasuke mentally rolled his eyes. He was a fool to even bother coming here, he crossed his arms and sighed gruffly. "And to top it all off, I forgot to ask for the girl's name," he said nonchalantly, and covered his face with his hands, "This was definitely going to be a llooonngg day..."

He sighed dramatically, while his thoughts wandered. That pink haired angel was so different...so unlike any other girl he's ever seen. Her eyes, those dark emerald green pools looked straight into his soul. Sasuke felt like as if he couldn't hide anything from her, like as if those eyes just stripped him open and exposed his deepest darkest secrets. However, he couldn't help but notice that the eyes looked sad...like as if it'd lost someone very dear to her.

A soft chuckle escaped his throat. Maybe that was the reason why he was enamored by her. She felt like someone that he could trust, someone that was just like him. Sasuke's eyes were dark with pain. When he'd lost his parents he felt so lost...so detached from everyone. All his friends, had tried to comfort him, they'd all tried to help him out of his empty shell...but nothing worked. He hated the pity that he saw in their eyes, it disgusted him. He needed no one, not now not ever...

*~FLASHBACK~*

A loud horrifying screech rang through the dead of the night. A young boy with disheveled black hair jerked up suddenly, his dark onyx eyes wide with fear. He shivered when that inhuman scream tore at him, a voice that sounded so familiar...

"Mom? Dad?" he whispered, before he hesitantly scrambled out of his bed. Sasuke edged across the hall, half afraid of what might be larking in the shadows. His feet tapped softly against the wood padded floors, while his breathing was uneven and harsh. Suddenly the grandfather clock struck twelve, it was midnight, the most magical and deadly hour of the night. It released three arcane and hollow notes almost like a omen...

For some unknown reason, Sasuke felt a sense of panic. Not for himself, but for his parents. He couldn't breath, the air around him had suddenly tensed with anxiety and anger. What could have happened?

Sasuke ran towards his parents room, all thoughts of fear escaped him. The only thing that mattered right now was to make sure his parents were alright. His hand grasped the handle tensely, while a bead of sweat ran down his forehead. It was now or never...

He flung open the door. The only thing that separated him, from the bloodied bodies of his parents. "No...." he whispered softly, closing his eyes as if it might shield him from the pain. "This can't be happening..."

Taking a deep breath, he forced himself to calm down. This wasn't the time to lose his head, especially if there might be a chance that his parents might be alive. Sasuke walked slowly towards the gory corpse of his mother. The body was covered in bruises and cuts...there was no possible way that she could have survived. How could this have happened? His eyes flashed in anger and pain. She'd never done anything to deserve this...

She was innocent...she deserved better then this...His mother deserved better to end her life, lying in a blood red pool of blood.

A stray tear streaked down his face and fell down ever so slowly towards the ground. "Mom...I'm sorry I wasn't here for you..." he whispered painfully. "I'm sorry..." Sasuke clenched his teeth furiously, trying to prevent himself from screaming in anger. He glared around the room noticing that it was littered with objects soaked in blood. How he wanted to destroy things, it was so tempting. The thought of venting his anger on something...on someone...

His eyes were wild with desperation. It was impossible, his whole life had been destroyed...just in a single night. A cruel smile lit his lips, while he began laughing insanely. REVENGE...he would have his REVENGE...whoever did this...will pay dearly...

...with their lives...

Sasuke was jolted out of his reverie when he heard someone far away calling him. He jerked around and scanned the room for any sign of life. A soft gasp escaped his lips. "Dad?" he whispered softly, as if it was a dream. "Dad? Is that you?"

"Sasuke..."

He quickly scrambled towards the body of his father. One quick glance at his father's face, Sasuke jumped and gave him a hug. "You're alright..." he murmured through his tears. "I thought you were dead..."

"Sasuke....listen to me..." gasped his father, coughing up blood. "I...don't have...much longer..."

"What..." he took a deep breath before continuing. "What are you talking about...you need rest...the you'll be alright. Right dad? Dad?" he whispered desperately.

"I...want you...to promise me something..." he whispered, ignoring Sasuke's pleads.

"But...but..." he took one look at his father's twisted face and nodded slowly. "I promise..." he agreed solemnly.

"The world is a cruel place...don't trust anyone...no one...at all. They're...nothing but lies...fakes..."

Sasuke looked nervously at his father, while contemplating whether he should call the cops.

"...trust no one...or else...you'll get hurt..."

"But dad...that's impossible..." he whispered softly, slowly shaking his head back and forth. "I...can't be like that..."

His father gripped his hands tighter, "Promise me..."

He bowed his head and nodded. The least that he could do is honor his father's last wish. "I swear it..."

Locked in a prison of ice, held by guilt and pain, slowly he became empty...and dead...as each day passed...that was his life...the curse that his father...had blessed upon him.
