Chapter 2. Uzumaki Narue
"You knew. "
The sky above was alive with clouds. The occasional black shadow of birds would tarnish the brilliance if the clouds, but it never grew dull. The sky…it seemed to her the only thing in the world that did not change.
"You knew, yet you wouldn't tell me."
The accusing voice that reached her ears was that of the youngest Uchiha.
"Uchiha Sasuke, you were not the sole survivor."
"Why didn't you tell me!"
The pain and betrayal in his voice were not hidden by his anger. His yell echoed throughout the park, emptying it of its other inhabitants.
"You were able to save your mother were you not?"
"The only thing that saved us was a trip to town!"
"Cherish her now Uchiha, you have been given a second chance."
They stood in silence; Narue lying in the grass, hair sprawled around her, Sasuke head bent towards the ground. The sound of his falling teardrops seeded to be the only sound.
"But if you would have told me…I would have been able to save all of them."
He spoke softly, each word filled with sorrow.
"Do not overestimate your abilities Uchiha-san."
She stood up and approached the grieving child.
"You did your best, and in doing so saved the life of another."
She looked him straight in the eye.
"You have nothing to regret and should be proud of your actions."
Sasuke gave a small nod as he brought his hand to his eyes. Eyes filled with so much emotion.
"But how did you know?"
Light blue eyes looked past him, at something he couldn't see. A small smile tugged at her lips.
"The power to predict things through flashes of the future is truly rare…May luck be with you Uchiha-san"
And with that she departed, leaving in her wake a surprised Uchiha.

Uzumaki Narue
The name once spoken always caused the same reaction"Stay away from her Uchiha-san; she will be your downfall."
To him she was an exotic bird in a cage, a wild soul in a desolate world.
He looked up at the sky. Its colour reminded him of her eye; bright, wise and distant.

"Thank you."
The sun above them stood proudly in the sky, its brilliant rays spread throughout the village.
Eyes of a deep azure stared at the source of such unfamiliar words.
"It seems you have come back to your senses."
Midnight black eyes watched her every move.
"Grief is not very becoming on me."
Black met blue as Narue set her gaze on him, before returning to cloud-watching.
"Why must you be so different?"
The question was unexpected, never before had she been asked that question.
A small bitter laugh escaped her throat.
"What would I be if I weren't different?"
The softly spoken words accused Sasuke of something he didn't understand.
"You don't want to be forgotten."
"I want to be real. Being different feeds my existence."
"The gods have not been kind with you."
Cerulean eyes stared at him; a bitter smile began to form on her lips.
"The gods will never show kindness towards me, I am but a nuisance."
Uzumaki Narue, you truly are an enigma.
Well that's that….
