Names

It was late in the night. By now little children in Konoha would be fast asleep. Sakura was awake far longer than other children. At the time she arrived home it was eleven-thirty but by midnight she was asleep.

Sometime during the night, the boy woke and found himself in a strange home. At first he thought that he was dead from the events that went on that night, but as soon he realized he was breathing he knew he was a live.

The boy noticed Sakura sleeping softly on the floor. He woke her up to her discontent.

"Mm wah?" Sakura groaned as she slowly pulled out of her sleep. She sat up and rubbed her sleepy eyes awake. Sakura looked and saw the boy she saved crouching in front of her, loking confused. "So you're back among the living?" She said.

"Can you tell me what happened?" The boy asked.

"Don't you remember?" Sakura rubbed her eyes again and briefly explained the his suicidal attempts and how she saved him.

" Oh," was all she could say after that.

A breeze flew in making both children shiver.

"Brrrrr!" Sakura said. "The sun might be warm at this time of year but at night it's freezing." She got up and shut the window.

" Hey um what is your name?"

"Sasuke," He replied "Sasuke Uchiha."

Sakura gasped " Uchiha?! As in the clan Uchiha?!

"Yeah. What about it?"

"It's just that the uchiha clan is the greatest clan I've ever known," She said "and the nicest to. Sometimes when ever I pass by your uncle's shop he'll give candy."

"Yeah that's my uncle. What about your name?"

"It's Sakura. Sakura Haruno."

"Sakura Haruno, I like that name," Sasuke remarked " It's better for you. Bill-board brow doesn't even fit."

"Thanks," Sakura said, blushing.

Sasuke got up and started to walk around. He looked at some of the photos of Sakura,

"So this is your house?"

"Mmhm,"

Sasuke looked back at Sakura, " Why do live alone?"

Sakura didn't answer. Instead she got up on her knees and started to tend to the fire, pretending as if she didn't hear anything.

"Okay then," Sasuke thought of another question, "Where is your mother?"

" I-I don't know. On a mission, I guess," and that was true. Inside her head, Sakura thought of her mother leaving the gates of Konoha on a deadly mission that she won't even reveal to her own daughter.

Sasuke walked back to the couch and sat down. Sakura finished tending to the fire. " Hey I bet your parents are worried sick. I can take you to your home if you want," She turned around to see Sasuke clenching his teeth, his hand curled into a fist, with the knuckles turning white, and tears forming in his eyes.

" I hate him. He killed every last one except me. Why?" he muttered so softly that Sakura could barely hear him. What's wrong? Was it something I said? Sakura thought.

She got up and sat beside him. She placed a hand on his shoulder, but he didn't respond.

" Remember when you asked me why I lived alone?" she asked " before I used to be alone when my mother was out on her missions. But now that you're here, I don't feel like the only living soul in this house." Sasuke stopped tensing at these words.

Together they watched the fire crackle and burn. The heats from the tongues of flame keeping them both warm. Slowly, Sakura's eyes started to droop. Giving in to sleep, she lay down on one side of the couch and slept. Sasuke followed sleeping on his half.
