Chapter four, our favorite emo boy's turn! (is promptly chased by Sasuke fans)
He found her sitting there, in front of their graves. Red roses had been placed on each grave with tender care. It made sense. Today had been the fifth reunion of the Uchiha massacre. He would have been there earlier but Team 7 had had a C-rank mission that had dragged on a day longer than it should have. Hinata and Neji both must have had missions also otherwise they would have been there with her. They always came with him to visit the Uchiha family mass grave. After all that was where their mother was buried. And where their father's headstone was.
Hizashi's body was still somewhere in Hidden Cloud. Under his request, they had buried him and Aunt Ame in the Uchiha plot. When he was four years old, his uncle murderd and his aunt dead, Sasuke had decided that he hated Hidden Cloud and everyone who lived there. Just as he had decided after his brother murdered the entire clan, that he hated him more than anything and would pay him back.
It occurred to Sasuke right then, that Kimiko had never met the people whose graves she had tended that day and now, thanks to Itachi, never would. Hizashi and Ame had taken Hinata and Neji to visit their relatives in the Uchiha clan. They had gotten to know their uncle Fugaku and their aunt Mikoto. She would never know them. Never.
Looking at Kimiko sitting in front of the mass graves of family she would never know, Sasuke found it in his heart to hate Itachi a little more.
