Chapter 2: Represses Memories

Sasuke blinked in surprise, looking over the slightly familiar girl. It looks like her, but her eyes and clothes are different. I could ask her, but then again, if it's not her, she would think I'm crazy... Sasuke continued pondering the different factors, unsure of the consequences. She shifted her weight nervously under his gaze, uncomfortable from the all the attention. Meanwhile, Sakura fumed next to Naruto, who, of course, had all attention on the red-head, oblivious of his infuriated teammate. Sakura clenched her fist. Even Naruto-baka is paying attention to her, and more than me. And the way Sasuke-kun is staring at her! I better give her a piece if my mind when we're alone!

"I'm the future Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki! Believe it!" Naruto gave Rose thumbs up and trademark grin, puffing his chest out to add to his bravado. She smiled sadly, eyes clouding over as memories painfully flooded back to her.

~FLASHBACK~

"Rosie-chan! Give your Nii-chan a hug!" Rose giggled happily, leaping on the older boy. He grabbed her and flung her up in the air, catching her safely as gravity pulled her back.

"Again, Nii-chan, again!" He smiled slightly, and set her on the firm ground against her wishes.

"Not now, Bunny, Nee-san will have dinner ready shortly, we had better wash up," Rose pouted angrily, and crossed her arms in front of her chest childishly.

"I don't wanna, Tobu-chan! You know I don't like Okaa-san's cooking! It's yucky!" She stood her ground firmly, glaring at Tobu.

"If that's the case..." He dove towards Rose, and swung her on his back. Giggling madly, she wrapped her legs around Tobu's waist, keeping a firm grip so she wouldn't fall. "Then I'll have to make you!" He raced toward the the house. Once there, he dashed toward the kitchen.

"Run Nii-chan, RUN!" Tobu suddenly froze at the opening that led to the kitchen, trans-vexed. She gazed toward the spot where Tobu was gawking at. Her father had her mother pinned to the wall and sobbing as he threatened her. Of course, Rose didn't under stand what was happening. "Otou-san?" Her sister glanced up and her violet eyes widened in horror and slight embarrassment. Her father spun around, glaring at the two juveniles.

"Wha-t-t are you d-doing heere?" He slurred, trying to glare at them, but only able to focus on their side of the room. Tobu's nose scrunched up in distaste. He's drunk, and he takes it out on Nee-san! How dare he! If he can't handle his own problems then he shouldn't be here in the first place!

"Tobu, take Rose and go out and eat dinner. I didn't have a chance to prepare it yet. There's money on the end table in the living room," Their older sister requested with words laced with sorrow.

"But-"

"Do what she say's, boy, or I'll make your life even more pitiful then it already is," The drunk demanded, again trying to glare at the maroon-haired boy, and once again his efforts proved futile. Tobu glared once more at his father, and glanced once more at his sister, sandwiched pitifully between his father and the wall. He sighed in defeat as his mother gazed at him pleadingly. This is the last time I back down, and that was only because Rose was here! Consider yourself lucky, you bastard! He spun on his heel and stormed out of the room, Rose bouncing up and down with each enraged step.

"Why is Nee-san crying, Tobu-chan?" Rose asked curiously, tilting her head to the side slightly in confusion. Tobu sighed slightly. what was he supposed to tell her? That their father father was an alcoholic and was probably beating the living shit out of their sister at this very moment?

"Erm... Their just having a slight... Misunderstanding..." His eyes hardened just thinking about what might be happening in the kitchen at this very moment. Despite her young age, Rose could detect her brother's lie easily.

Just as she was about to protest and demand the truth, they head a feminine pain filled shriek come from the direction of the kitchen. It wasn't hard to figure out that it was their sister screaming, considering there were only two females in the clan at the time, and one of them was currently in the living room, not the kitchen. Tobu set her down to the ground and swiftly race toward the kitchen, Rose not far behind. The siblings stopped dead in their tracks at the sight of the now unruly kitchen, horror struck from the nightmarish image. Their sister sprawled out on the tile, clothes shredded and her barely covered body drenched with her own blood. Her next was twisted at a odd angle, throat slit like a pig. On of her arms looked as if they has been torn off, both laying in a pool pf blood at the other side of the room. Rose tried to hold back the bile that was quickly rising in her throat, but her efforts proved futile as she wretched on the kitchen floor until nothing was coming up. Tobu glared, and he was the most scariest, and angriest Rose had ever seen him. He leaped towards their father, but in a flash, he had spun around and had a sword through Tobu's midsection before she could even blink. His eyes widened in shock as his would added to the bloodbath that would forever taint the house. Her father pulled out his katana from Tobu, receiving a pained groan along with it. Tobu crumpled the ground as blood began seeping out of his open mouth. Her father turned around and faced her with a crazed look and a malicious grin spread across his face.

"You've been a burden to everyone since you were brought into this world, now I'll be the one to watch you leave, you little bitch!" He dove for her, put she stood still, to terrified to move a muscle. She flinched and screwed her eyes shut when she felt the sword pierce her naval, but that was as far as it got. She felt some sort of liquid spurt over her small frame, and she slowly opened her eyes. She did s double-take as she saw her father's dead body hovering over, a meat cleaver pierced completely through his throat, blood still running from the open wound. She backed up against the kitchen wall, as whatever force that was holding her father up let him slump to the ground with a sickening squelch. Her cerulean orbs raised, only to widen in surprise as she saw Tobu panting above her, clutching the wound on his stomach.

"Rosie-chan... Run. And don't look back, no matter what, okay? And remember, I'll always be there for you," He smiled softly to her, and crumpled to the ground for the last time.

~END OF FLASHBAKC~

Stupid 'Mother'. Pshh, I shouldn't even address her as such after she left us! How foolish I was then. if I only knew back then what I know now-

"Rose-chan? ROOOOOSEEEEE-CHHHHAANNNNNNNNNNN!" Naruto's high pitched voice snapped her out of her thoughts.

"What happened," Rose asked, completely unaware what was going on.

"Your eyes were like, glazed over, and you looked super depressed! I thought you were dead or something-"

"She's obviously not dead, dobe," Sasuke interrupted, rolling his eyes slightly. Damn, did Naruto always have to be so stupid?

"SASUKE-TEME-"

"Please, let's stop fighting! Um, here! Can someone help me find where I'm supposed to stay? I've never been here before, so I don't know my way around-" Rose held up a small slip of paper with an address sprawled across of it.

"I'll help you, Rose-chan!" Naruto bounced over to her and snatched the paper out of her hands. He read the paper, then did a double-take. "Oh no, Rose-chan! You're in the apartment next to Sasuke-teme's house! Ugh! Too bad you didn't have an apartment next to mine, Rose-chan! That would have been SOOOOOO cool!" Naruto glared angrily at the Uchiha, who just shrugged him off. Naruto, bored of the current 'conversation' ran over to Sakura who was still silently seething in the corner, glaring at the red-head. Man... If looks could kill! Naruto proceeded in asking the pinkette out for the billionth time, as Sasuke muttered something like:

"I'm going home," under his breath. Rose pursued Sasuke like a lost puppy. As soon as Naruto ans Sakura were out of sight, Sasuke swiveled around and his eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Who are you, really?"
