A/N: Sasuke is now 13 years old.
Time had passed. He still lived with Kakashi who he had met in the hospital some years ago. Things had changed. He no longer thought of his parents anymore because Kakashi was in his life now, his father and mother. In the back of his mind, he knew that they weren't coming back. It was a feeling that they were no longer in this world anymore so he decided to move on with his life. He still had no idea about the memories he had lost.
Sasuke mostly stayed in the apartment where he and Kakashi lived. Though, there was nothing to do, he found ways to entertain himself over the years but now it was beginning to bore him. Kakashi, sitting on the couch with a leg under his calf, browsing the web on his laptop, noticed Sasuke from the corner of his eye, looking out the window.
"Wanna go out?"
"Fuck yeah…"
"Language."
"Sorry."
Why the hell is it so hot today, he thought to himself, walking in the village in the scorching heat. If he knew it was gonna be this hot, he would have stayed home with the air conditioner blowing in his face. Well, it was too late now. It's been awhile for him. He couldn't remember the last time he went outside, smelling the fresh clean air, seeing the unfamiliar faces. People whispered while they walked and looked at him. They knew what had happen to him but he didn't. They felt sorry for him. It was similar back then at the hospital… it bothered him.
Sasuke took out his iPod from out his pocket and plugged in the ear buds into his ear canal. He scrolled down the list of songs and tapped on a song. He walked pass the people and went into the woods where no one would bother him. Deeply in the woods, there was a large lake. The water sparkled due to the sun.
The uchiha squatted down to the dry grass and fell backwards, his back to the dirt and arms behind his head. He found a good spot with a tree to shade him from the sun. He gazed at the tree branches and birds above him. 2 birds, who he suspected to be the mother and father, feeding their 3 chicks.
"Must be nice to have a family…"
Sasuke sat up as he saw the lake make a splash. A blonde-haired, the same age as Sasuke, swam up to the surface and gasped for air.
"Sasuke?"
Sasuke jerked the earbuds from out his ear and tugged them in his pockets. "Sasuke, is that you?"
The blonde swam to the dry land to where Sasuke was and picked himself up, now standing.
"Sasuke, it's me, Naruto."
Sasuke appeared to be confused. He didn't remember this person and he didn't know him but this person called Naruto knew him. Why?
"We went to school together. Yaaah, I haven't seen you in years. What happen to you?"
"Who are you?"
Naruto was stunned by the reply he gotten. "Eh? It's Naruto. We played around here a lot and-"
"I don't know you." Sasuke picked himself up and dusted off the dirt off his behind, heading off to the direction of the village.
"I heard what happen to you… your clan."
Sasuke spun around quickly to the blond. "What are you talking about?"
"You don't remember?"
"Remember what?"
"Your brother?"
"I don't have a brother." He said, sounding uncertain. If he did have a brother, he would know about it, right?
"Huh? Really? I could of sworn… maybe I'm wrong."
Sasuke walked off, back into the woods, leaving the blond alone with his thoughts. Night was approaching as he walked home. He walked through the woods, taking the long way home. He wasn't rushing to get home but Kakashi would want him to be home asap when night was coming. Screw him.
