Note: I took Chapter 1 TOO fast! I guess I'll need to change the story up a bit, then. Hope you guys don't care! (Oh, if you're wondering about Sasuke's whereabouts, he lives in the school at an apartment. Don't sue me! It's my story!)
Disclaimer: I STILL don't own anything of Naruto.
Chapter 2- Kodoku Ko
Sasuke awoke on his couch. He rose and felt his forehead. "What happened yesterday?" He remember Rain and what happened yesterday. "Was that all a dream," he asked. He rose from the couch and pulled off his shirt. Boom! He turned around rapidly to see a light flash at his window after the sound of thunder echoed in his apartment. He turned back around to see his alarm clock flashing 4:45am. "It's really that early," he asked himself. He walked to his closet and picked out some new clothes. He walked to his bathroom and started his shower stall's hot water. He felt the water until it turned from a freezing cold to a peaceful heat. He undressed the remainder of his clothes and stepped inside after lying all of the clothes on a shelf. The water beat on his body as he thought about the day before.
Sasuke finally let go of Rain to see her a little shocked. "What's wrong," Sasuke asked her concerned. "We can't love...I just remembered that," she replied. Sasuke asked, "What do you mean?" "I can't love you or anybody else." Sasuke looked at her with fright in his eyes. Now that he showed emotion, they would be shoved back in again. "W-Why," was the only word he could stutter out. She sunk her head down, making her long, black bangs shake in a gentle, yet violent way. She replied, "I...I'm the Kodoku Ko, the Lonely Child. I'm forbidden to love anyone or they'll...go insane." She looked at Sasuke with fright and said, "You saw Itachi, right? That will happen to you if I love you." She sank to the floor, but kept her gaze on him, "I won't let that happen." Sasuke looked down at her, unable to move. He had heard the legends of the ones that loved all of the Lonely Children. Now, he found love, but couldn't have it. But he WOULD have it, one way or another.
Sasuke shook his head as he stepped out of the shower with a towel clinging to his waist. His silky, black hair swung in different directions; splashing water everywhere. Reality was so cruel to him. He put his right arm against the wall with his fist in a ball of rage. His left arm hung as if dead weight on his side while his head hung low; his hair covering his face. Drip...Drip...Drip.... The water hitting the floor was all that was heard. Drip...Drip...Drip...knock, knock, knock! Sasuke jolted his head up. He peeked his head out to see Hatake Kakashi, his sensai. "Hai, Kakashi-sensai," he asked annoyed. "Sou shawa o abiru." Kakashi merely smiled,"Actually, I wanted to speak with you, Sasuke-kun. It's about Rain." Sasuke stiffened at the sound of her name. "Doshite," he asked with tension building in his voice. "Just come out, Sasuke-kun," Kakashi said sternly. Sasuke closed the door behind him and changed into his new clothes.
When he got dressed, he came out of the bathroom with his dirty clothes and towel hanging from his arm. "Do you ever change your sutairu, Sasuke-kun," Kakashi asked. Sasuke looked back at him emotionless, "Do I need to?" "Iie, nai honto ni," Kakashi replied while rubbing the back of his head with a smile. Sasuke walked to his laundry basket and dumped his laundry in. He walked over to his couch and sat down. "Suwaru, Kakashi-sensai," he replied as he looked at his young sensai. Kakashi walked over to Sasuke's couch and sat far from the young Genin. "Ima...Hanasu," Sasuke ordered. "I don't think you have the tokken to meirei me around, Sasuke-kun," Kakashi replied back calmly. Sasuke sat still and didn't move. ( Why does he want to talk about...her? ) Kakashi said, "The Hokage told me about your problem." Sasuke smirked and said sarcatically, "Atama ga ii toshiyori, eh?" Kakashi raised an eyebrow and said, "You're pretty brave to talk about the Hokage that way." Sasuke shrugged and said, "Tzuku." Kakashi nodded and said, "It is true what she has told you. She IS the Kodoku Ko." Sasuke turned his face away so Kakashi couldn't see the anger in his eyes. His eyes started to flash from black to red, and then back to black. "But that doesn't mean that you can't be together with her. It just means that you must pass some mind trials to prove your worth," Kakashi said with hope in his voice. Sasuke turned his head around slowly with shock generating through his body. He glared at Kakashi and asked, "Is this a warufuzake?" Kakashi shook his head; making the silver strands on his head dance. Kakashi looked at Sasuke's eyes and said, "Anata No Mes." Sasuke asked, "My eyes?" He got up and walked to a nearby mirror. He looked at his eyes to see them rose red. "The hajime kokoro tesuto," Kakashi repled. Sasuke looked back at him and nodded. He looked back at his eyes and said, "This will need some chosetsu."

That Afternoon
Rain sat on the roof of a house that gave her a strange vibe. "This place..." A new scent caught her nose. She looked down to see a young sensai with a mask covering his face. Grey hair decorated the top of his head as his headband's cloth was black. Rain looked at the object that he was holding to see the title, "Tsuku Tsuku Paradaisu." (Come Come Paradise :P) He looked up at you and said, "Hello, Rain-kun! It seems that you have stubbled upon my uchi." Rain glared at him and said, "Shizuka ni, Kakashi-sensai." Kakashi smiled and said, "Hikerakashiya, eh?" Rain turned away and said, "Saru watashi hitori." Kakashi looked down and thought to himself, (Maybe I should tell her about Sasuke and her...Or should I try to make it better.) He shook his head. (This isn't any of your business. Just tell her something to cheer her up.)
Kakashi jumped onto the roof and looked at the depressed girl. He kneeled down and pushed her black hair to her left shoulder. She turned and looked at him. "What's wrong, Rain," Kakashi asked. "I want to love somebody, but I can't," she said as she turned back around. (His eye looks so familiar.) Kakashi replied, "Sasuke-kun, right?" Rain stood up shocked. "NANI," she exclaimed. Kakashi smiled underneath his mask and said, "The Hokage told me." Rain raised her eyebrow and asked, "The toshiyori told you everything, didn't he?" Kakashi nodded and said, "I kind of helped Sasuke-kun a bit, as well." Rain sat back down, but kept her gaze on the sensai. Silence was there for a while until Rain asked, "Are you some sort of kappuru shinri-teki, Kakashi-sensai?" Kakashi sat down and said, "Something like that." Rain glared at him and replied, "Well, I don't need such a thing, baka shonen." Kakashi looked at her shocked, "Baka Shonen! Is that some way you talk to a sensai?" Rain smirked and replied, "Duh!" Kakashi raised an eyebrow and said, "Well, I WAS going to tell you something, but zettai iko." Rain frowned and asked irritated, "Nani?" "You CAN ren'aichu," Kakashi replied with a smirk. Rain asked him desperately, "I can!" Kakashi nodded, but said, "You must find somebody atai suru. They have to pass ALL of the Kokoru Tesutos." Rain sunk her head and asked, "Who would THAT be?" Kakashi turned around and said cheerfully, "Uchiha Sasuke!" Rain backed away from him and asked, "How are you so sure?" Kakashi replied, "Because he has already endured the hajime kokoru tesuto." Rain stood shocked and said, "Arigatou, Kakashi-sensai." She ran and jumped off of the roof. Kakashi chuckled under his breath as he watched her run to the Konoha school.
