Author's Note: Hullo again! Sorry it's been so long since I updated, I think like two or three weeks? Lol I'm sorry, and I'll try to be on time from now on. It's just I got a new guitar and I haven't been able to put it down because it's completely and totally gorgeous and plays great on my new 25 watt amp, so yeah. Man I'm a nerd xD. Anyway, here's chapter three and I hope you enjoy it!

Disclaimer: Do I really need to say that I don't own Naruto. I mean, come on. No one would believe me even if I did lie and say that I do own Naruto. Sooo I don't think I need to say anything else. Now it's story time!

Chapter 3: So Where has Sasuke Been?

In a dark, secluded corner of the Konoha woods, Sasuke was panting hard. He had narrowly escaped Hyuuga Hinata, but she had seen his face before he could get away. He inwardly cursed himself. Why did I spend so much time looking at her face? Why did I even want to? Sasuke was confused, and yet, everything was painfully clear. He wanted to see that girl again.

Sasuke was in Konoha just out of curiosity. He had wanted to see the people he had left three years before, and see what had changed. He smirked, probably not much had. Both Lee and Naruto would still be chasing after Sakura who would still be pining for him- he smirked again at her stupidity- and Naruto would still be hyperactive, crazy Naruto, oblivious to the fact that Hyuuga Hinata had a huge crush on him. He winced when he recalled Hinata's attraction to Naruto. Sasuke had never really paid attention to the girl, but she had grown up and not badly I might add, Sasuke thought to himself, recalling her alluring face and perfectly curvaceous body.

Sasuke had killed Orochimaru, frustrated by the snake-man's perverted desire for his body and his attempts to sneak in Sasuke's room at night. He shuddered remembering the time he had woken up with Orochimaru's tongue about a centimeter from his face. Why did I even go with that freak in the first place, he wondered. During one of Orochimaru's failed attempts to rape Sasuke again, Sasuke, extremely pissed off, activated his Chidori, and blasted through Orochimaru's body, leaving it in smithereens. Then he left before any of Orochimaru's followers could find him.

Thank God, I won't ever have to see Karin again. Sasuke thought. She was worse than Sakura, and at least Sakura was decent- looking. Old four-eyes was such a FREAK, and if I didn't know any better I'd have thought she and Orochimaru were working together to get at me. O.O

With these slightly disturbing thoughts running through his head, Sasuke walked through the woods. His drive to kill Itachi was gone, because Itachi was already dead. He had contracted a deadly disease, and by the time Sasuke reached the Akatsuki hideout Itachi was at his last breath. Sasuke was about to deliver the deadly blow and finish off Itachi, but then realized that it would have been too merciful. If he had killed Itachi then Itachi would have died almost nobly in battle. There was no way Sasuke would give his brother that satisfaction. He instead sat and watched as Itachi died a slow and painful death, due to severe internal bleeding. A death of shame, Sasuke thought to himself I always thought my scum of an older brother was stronger than that.

Unfortunately for Sasuke, there was nothing to live for anymore. He would never kill himself, because, well, Sasuke felt that the world would be losing too great a ninja. The boy wasn't exactly modest. But he had nowhere to go and nothing to do, no motivation at all. Sasuke didn't know it but he was getting depressed. He had no goals, and he couldn't go back to Konoha because he had become a renegade ninja, and he was never going to sacrifice his pride and turn himself in. He still, however, had to rebuild his clan.

Sasuke was a normal hormonal 15-year -old boy, who had the same urges as other teenage boys, but despite the desire to rebuild his clan, he didn't exactly want to have children yet. He had never really shown an interest in any girls yet. He had pondered the thought of being gay, but then again after that kiss with Naruto and Orochimaru's attempted rape, he was traumatized and sworn off of guys. Plus he couldn't really get a guy pregnant now could he?

Sasuke sighed. That Hinata was intriguing. Why this sudden interest in her, he didn't know. But he couldn't deny it. And he was going to find out more about her. Sasuke turned around and directed his steps toward Konoha.

Endnote: Okay! That's it. Very Sasuke-centric I know, but it won't be from now on. The next chapter there will be some more interaction with other people. And guess what? I'm going to add Kabuto just because he's cool like that. No he's NOT Orochimaru's sex slave; he's cool. Sooo yeah look forward to that. Until next time!

Love,

the hybrid :)
