Sasuke woke up at midnight. Seeing that Orochimaru was out of the room and the door was shut, Sasuke showered and dressed. He then grabbed his weapons and put them into his backpack he had hidden from when he was a leaf Genin.

He opened a window and walked down the wall, being careful to apply jut the right amount of chakra to his feet so he wouldn't fall. He then jumped to the ground and ran as fast as his feet could carry him. He didn't know where he was going but he knew he had to leave the Sound. He just hoped his feet remembered which way would take him out of this cursed place.

Sasuke ran until the sun came up. He knew he was going around in circles. Either that or every thing looked the same. He changed direction but after a while he collapsed against a tree and fell asleep.

When Sasuke woke up the moon was in the sky. He had no clue hat time it was but he knew Orochimaru knew he was gone. He changed direction again and ran again. He was feeling rather faint from lack of food for nearly about 48 hours but he kept going.

Suddenly thins started to seem familiar. Not like the Sound but like… Konoha. He was in Konoha borders. Sasuke cursed under his breath. They wouldn't let him in the gates. He went around to a side that the guard was not looking at and climbed up the walls. Not surprisingly the guard looking his direction and yelled, "Hey!' Sasuke threw a kunai at his head and kill him but regretted doing it because it would cause uproar.

Sasuke looked around the village he once called home. It looked the same as it did when he left, exactly the same. Sasuke wandered through the streets staring at stuff. He saw Naruto's apartment and nearly used one of his long forgotten smirks but he didn't. Sasuke didn't smirk any more. He didn't find a reason to. Being at the Sound had changed him from seeming cold and cruel but being slightly warm hearted on the inside, to cold on the inside too.

Sasuke wandered a little more into the center of the village nobody was out side. He went over to the bridge where the old team seven used to meet. The river ran underneath the bridge and Sasuke remembered how life used to be.

Sasuke was always the first to be at the bridge followed by Sakura and then Naruto and last, Kakashi Sensei. Naruto and Sakura would yell, "Your late!" as soon as Kakashi arrived. Their sensei would then make up a lame excuse and smile a smile that would reach his one visible eye. Then Kakashi would inform them of a mission or some sort of training or errand to do. They would obey, though Naruto would grumble and whine. Then they would eat lunch and get another mission or they would spar, then they would go home and eat supper and sleep and repeat the process all over again.

Sasuke looked around and noticed someone sitting on the grass, dangling their legs in the water. Sasuke looked closer and recognized who it was. Sakura! She still had her small, boyish figure but it was her bubblegum pink hair that gave her away. She was the only person in Konoha that had pink hair.

Sasuke walked along the bank of the river towards hi sold teammate. He nearly opened his mouth to speak but held his tongue. It was Sasuke who spoke first, "Do I know you?" She asked. Sasuke shook his head. She would recognize his voice. Besides the fact that he was in different clothes he looked the same as when he was twelve. He had to be careful. He didn't want to be known…

Well, that is all, do you like it. Please review.
