Lost Myself
By: Silverwolf
Orochimaru sits along a stairway. Sasuke sits silently a few stairs away. The older male brought the teen back 'home' after an older fighter did his best to dislocate the younger teen's shoulder. While he didn't succeed before Sasuke harmed him the older teen was able to cause the young Uchiha severe pain.
Sasuke keeps the sore arm against him as Orochimaru demands for Kabuto to have a 'look' at it. The raven teen doesn't give the older silver haired teen access. Instead he keeps the arm under a baggy sweatshirt. Orochimaru gives a low growl and begins to give Sasuke orders. Sasuke narrows his eyes and rises from the stairs instead of allowing Kabuto the even see the injured arm.
Several of the older fighters in Orochimaru's stronghold give a look of surprise. Apparently Sasuke wasn't about to perfectly obey. The raven teen steps into the building and makes his way through maze of stairways and hallways to his room without another word. Sasuke chooses to lock both Kabuto and Orochimaru out of the room.
The raven teen looks across the room as he hears a panel move. Sasuke isn't surprised to see the same female that appeared before him several times. "Hiding?" Sasuke shakes his head. The female gives half a smirk. She places an arm around Sasuke. The raven teen hisses as her weight is pressed against his injured arm.
"Something wrong?" Sasuke shakes his head. The female instead decides to move the sweatshirt slightly. She notices the other teen's arm inside of it. Sasuke blinks slightly as she removes the shirt without causing the inuured arm to have to be moved. The female then begins to move the arm slightly. Sasuke gives her some protest. The girl disappears briefly before returning with a few supplies.
The raven teen hisses as she places some pressure along his arm. "It's not broken. The damage is to the tissue." She begins covers the arm in the same salve Sasuke had smelled before. He watches as the female begins to create a sling to keep his arm against him. "There's a possiblity they'll be pissed that you can't fight right now." Sasuke narrows his eyes a bit. The female steps back some. "Don't let them take away the person you were before you came here."
Sasuke turns away from her. "What do you know? You didn't know me before I got here." The raven teen lowers his head slowly, "my memories are broken since coming here. You should know I hardly remember who I was before I learned to kill for him." The female shakes her head lightly, "even though that's true I know you still have pieces of who you were. You have to."
Sasuke looks at the female. "I don't have to have anything. I'm hoping the fights will finish me before I actually have to wake up to the things I've been forced to do." Filthy strands of hair fall in front of the female's eyes, "I think I should tell you. Your bother left your uncle. He's been roaming around for a couple weeks now." Sasuke closes his eyes, "at least one of us can have freedom. I don't expect Madara to allow Itachi to just roam."
The girl nods lightly, "Orochimaru sent some of them to find your brother. They haven't had luck." Sasuke gives the female a slight smirk, "hopefully Itachi's found a place he isn't going to become noticed by that snake or his soldiers." The girl shrugs lightly, "I wouldn't know if he has. I only know what I've heard. And you should rest considering you just came back."
Sasuke shakes his head, "eventually sleep will win. Until then I have to find out where my brother is." The raven teen digs around in a drawer with his uninjured arm. He tosses a bit of clothing towards the girl. "I don't wish to upset you but you coud use a bath."
The girl lowers her head. Sasuke pulls her along to a bathroom. He leaves the stack of clothing sitting along a chair and turns on the water. He pushes the girl towards the warm water silently. For a moment she looks at Sasuke. The raven teen steps away leaving the female alone to wash up. Sasuke decides to stretch out along the bed in the room as if waiting for someone to enter the room. His left hand wraps around a knife he'd left concealed by the mattress. If anyone found the female just a room away there would be trouble for Sasuke. Despite that the teen dedided he would defend her if he had to. Even injured he could deal damage to any of the fighters living in the stronghold.
A/N: Sasuke now knows Itachi's gone missing. What has become of the older Uchiha? What will Sasuke decide? Can he find who he once was or is that person gone for good? Also I'm still waiting on a name for his forgotten companion?
