Chapter 2: The Life One has Lost is now Given Back
"Father?" Sasuke gasped, "Mother?"
"Yes, dear?" The woman asked.
"But…you're…I saw you killed!" Sasuke whispered.
"It was just a dream dear," His mother sighed, "We're perfectly fine,"
"Let the boy rest dear," His father sighed, "He probably just needs to go back to sleep,"
His mother looked at him disapprovingly then sighed.
"Fine, but remember, he has class tomorrow," She reminded as she walked out.
When his mother left the room his father chuckled softly then turned his eyes onto him.
"She's still worried about the short bout you had in training, she probably thinks you were in a life and death struggle for you life," He grinned.
He stepped forward and ruffled Sasuke's hair.
"Get some rest, tomorrow's a big day and one should not spend it in bed," He laughed as he walked out of the room.
Sasuke waited until the footsteps had faded and even then he waited another five minutes till he moved.
Sasuke crawled out of his bed and looked around his room.
A kunai lay on his table accompanied with a shuriken pouch and several papers scattered across the surface.
A black shirt with the Uchiha insignia sewn onto the back lay on the floor and his Konoha-nin headband lay on top of it.
He wandered around opening textbooks or drawers hoping to find something that would explain this all to him.
He noticed a portrait on the table.
It showed a blond-haired ninja grinning widely dressed in a ridiculous orange jumpsuit standing, along with a white haired jounin level nin who wore a mask to cover he bottom of his face and bore a lazy expression across his face and a pink-haired genin with emerald green eyes with a wide smile as she leaned on the shoulder of a raven-haired nin garbed in a blue shirt with white pants who had his arm around her waist. He had a loving expression on his face as he smiled into the camera.
"Naruto, Kakashi-sensei, Sakura," He whispered, "What happened?"
He tried to recall what had happened before he found himself in this bed. He could recall shouting and screaming as well as being hit several times yet when he examined himself he was fine save some minor cuts that were healing fine.
He quietly stepped out of his room carefully clad only in a light kimono and wandered the halls. Everything was normal. The Uchiha estate was well maintained and it was quiet.
He walked out into the garden to get some fresh air.
He stared into the stars and breathed in deeply.
The rich invigorating scent of the cherry blossoms made him temporarily forget about his confusion. He sat next to the small stream that ran by the garden. He absently washed his hands in it while he looked around himself.
The garden was well maintained with several cherry blossom trees and a garden of flowers.
He sighed and stood again dusting his clothes off.
"How is this happening?" Sasuke thought frustrated, "My parents…my entire family stands around me as though nothing had happened…what's going on?"
He went back inside and wandered around the estate.
He came across the entrance to one room he had feared to ever enter again.
He carefully slid open the door expecting to see his mother and father lying in pools of their own blood while a dark figure stood amongst their corpses. When the door was fully opened all that was in there were several boxes filled with old clothes and some sitting mats lying in a pile.
"What is this?" He thought angrily, "Who's playing with my mind!"
He spun around and shut the door quickly and strode away.
He continued walking down the hallway until he suddenly stopped as he noticed the name written across the door.
His blood froze and his eyes widened.
He carefully grasped the door's handle and slowly slid it open.
He immediately noticed a figure sitting on the bed with his back to him. The figure turned his head slowly in mild irritation. Sasuke could recognize the face even in the dim light.
"What is it, brother?" The voice asked calmly.
"Itachi…" Sasuke whispered with in absolute hatred.
