Sasuke sat in his bed wondering about what had just gone on. He didn't really know what was happening. One minute he and Naruto are fighting to the death and then he's in a nice, comfy home with a girl from his past! Sasuke laid his head back and began to think back to when he was a child and to when Itachi was still with him. Sasuke was suddenly ambushed by old memories of him and Itachi with a little girl…a girl he thought he knew. Who was she? Sasuke didn't know.

All I know is that we know each other. I don't know how we know each other, but we do. For some reason, you know me and I somehow know you, too. But, it's impossible for her to be the little girl in my memories because, well, because it's just impossible!

Sasuke shook his head and his eyebrows furrowed in frustration. He hit his head against the backboard to his bed and grunted angrily.

"What seems to be the trouble, Sasuke?"

Sasuke's head shot in the direction of the voice and he saw a girl leaning against the doorway. She had bright, blazing red hair that was pulled tight into a ponytail. She had a smirk on her face and her red-orange eyes blazed with curiosity. She was wearing red, a red tank-top that was just above her bellybutton. She had red sweatpants on that only went to about the middle of her shins. She had an eyebrow raised at the Uchiha and then it hit him. There was something on top of her head. It looked like dog ears. But, she had human ears…he could see them! But those were definitely animal ears on top of her head! Sasuke stared bewildered at the girl and finally she spoke.

"My name's Akane."

"I guess you already know my name too, right?" Sasuke asked sighing.

The girl named Akane giggled and strolled over to Sasuke's bedside.

"What the heck is on your head?" Sasuke couldn't help asking.

The girl seemed to blush a little and dropped Sasuke's gaze.

"What do you think? They're my ears, you dumbass," Akane said.

Sasuke stared at the girl as if she had just told him the secret to all his misery and she seemed to blush even more.
"Hm. And I suppose you have a tail too, huh?" Sasuke said sighing and laying his head back down, a little disappointed.

The girl frowned.

"Yup," she said turning around to reveal a long, sleek red tail.

Sasuke stared at the girl and then broke down with a laughing riot.

"Ha! You honestly believe…that I would believe this crap?!" Sasuke choked out between gagging laughs.

Akane's blush deepened and she stormed out of the room and left Sasuke to laugh by himself. As Akane stormed down the stairs, Hakura bumped into her and asked what was wrong. Then Akane's rough side broke through.

"Your boyfriend's a retard," Akane said brushing past her.

"But he's not my boyfriend?" Hakura said quietly and ran up the stairs to Sasuke's room to hear nothing but silence itself.

"Sasuke," Hakura said opening the door.

The window in Sasuke's room was open and the curtains were lightly blowing in the wind. And Sasuke's bed was empty.
