Hooray, chapter 3! And it's in our favorite chicken haired, emo-child's point of view too! If you've read this far, I would like to take this limited space and thank you ALL for sticking with me and my whacked up story! Hmm, also, I don't think I've done this yet!

DISCLAIMER TIMMMMMMME!:

Cherry-chan does not own Naruto, Kishi-sensei does if I did, Sakura wouldn't be a cry baby, and Sasuke wouldn't be such a dick! ^^

Sasuke: Oi!

Naruto: it's true tho!

Sasuke: -_-

Cherry: hush you two! Anyway, enjoy the next chappy!

Uchiha Sasuke was not happy.

Most things never bothered the raven haired boy, and those few things that did, were easily ignored. So naturally, it took a lot to make Sasuke angry, which he definitely was at the moment. He stalked down the hallway of the large house he shared with his "family", allowing irritation to emanate from him like a dark aura. He had been going to the study, intent on asking Orochimaru to (once again) tell Karin to stay out of his room. Once he had gotten there, however, he was stopped at the door by the sound of Orochimaru and their butler Kabuto talking in serious tones. Curious, he had listened in to the conversation. Sasuke scowled at his feet as he traced the familiar path back to his room, the conversation still ringing in his head.

"Are you absolutely sure about this, Orochimaru-sama?" Kabuto was asking in that creepy, light voice of his. There was a small pause, and Sasuke assumed Orochimaru was nodding.

"Yes, I'm sure," came his delicate reply, a soft hiss accompanying the end of the 'yes'. "Tsunade's offer was quite…unexpected, but a welcome offer nonetheless. The change of scenery would be good for the children; I've become quite bored with the scenery myself."

"But to go back there…!" Kabuto said, an incredulous tone replacing his usual formality. Sasuke cocked his head in interest. So they were moving from Oto? When? And more importantly, to where? Kabuto made it sound like such a bad place to go to. Anywhere is better than here… Sasuke thought to himself. Otogakure was one of the worst places to live in; it almost rivaled the living conditions in Kirigakure off the coast of Japan. Sasuke doubted they were going there; not even Orochimaru would live in that place. His attention snapped back to reality as he heard the conversation continuing.

"…might not agree to go." Kabuto was saying. Sasuke pondered this "siblings" would definitely have something to say about this move. Karin was probably the one most likely to disagree on leaving Oto. She would make a scene about it, not wanting to give up the popularity she held at their school. Suigetsu would probably be fine with it, but he'd complain about it just to annoy everyone, and as for Juugo, he probably wouldn't care.

"Sasuke will just have to deal with it." Orochimaru said, a slight frost in his voice. Sasuke perked up slightly. Why would he have any reason to object to going? He tried to think of any reasons he'd have to not want to leave Oto and came up blank. Truth be told, he hated Oto and would be more than happy to leave this shitty place they called a town. Sasuke shook his head slightly and returned his attention to the conversation.

"I don't know why you're so adamant about leaving, Kabuto." Orochimaru sighed. "It's not like it will be the end of our lives. Tsunade has even offered to give you a job at the school as well."

Sasuke paused. Where had he heard that name before? It hadn't remembered it when Orochimaru first said it, but now, the name struck a familiar chord in his memory. Sasuke thought as hard as he could but couldn't remember who the person was. He just remembered that whoever it was, was associated with something he hated, that he didn't want to remember.

"I know, Orochimaru-sama, but…" Kabuto trailed off.

"But?" The soft question added a slightly dangerous lilt to the man's voice.

"I'm just surprised that you accepted the offer."

"Why shouldn't I? I have no problem with going back. As a matter of fact, this offer was perfect timing. I've wanted to return home for quite a while now." Sasuke tilted his head. Orochimaru wanted to move to go back home? Where was that again?

And then it hit Sasuke. The place he didn't want to remember.

Konoha.

Sasuke scowled at the name. Upon his revelation, he had burst into the office, about ready to strangle his adoptive father. He had made up his mind when he left Konoha that he hated it and refused to go back there, and two years hadn't weakened that resolve. His scowl deepened. Orochimaru was dead set on returning to Konoha, and had simply told Sasuke he'd have to deal with it. And now Sasuke had only half a year left before they were leaving.

He was definitely not happy.

Sasuke rubbed his temples, trying to get rid of the headache that was beginning to throb. Breathing in through his nose, he tried to push his frustration away. He had to calm down quickly, before anyone else in the house saw him angry, especially befo-

"Sasuke-kun!" Sasuke inwardly cringed and the high pitched voice nearly shrieking his name. With a soft growl, he turned to glare at the red headed girl running towards him with a worried pout on her face.

"What do you want Karin?" He growled. Karin stopped in front of him, shoving her black glasses back up her nose. She stared up at him with wide eyes.

"I heard you were upset, Sasuke-kun, so I came to see what was wrong." She stepped closer, adopting a slight purr. "And to see if you needed anyone to talk to…" Sasuke scowled.

"It's none of your concern what's bothering me. Now quit acting like a slut and go away. Bother Suigetsu or something." With that, Sasuke turned and stalked back to his room, leaving a very shocked and teary eyed Karin in the middle of the hallway.

"Well damn," Came a voice behind Karin as Sasuke's door closed loudly. "What's up with him?" Karin turned and gave an annoyed glare at the white haired boy leaning against the doorframe to his room, wearing a pair of khaki shorts and a black shirt sporting some band.

"Shut up Suigetsu." Karin said snottily. "It's none of your concern why he's mad. Leave him alone and go away." Suigetsu smirked.

"News flash sunshine; he said that to you too."

"Whatever. Sasuke will tell me what's wrong when he feels like it." Suigetsu snorted.

"That'll be the day…" he muttered, rolling his eyes at the red head. He pushed himself off the door frame and sauntered back into his room. "Just keep telling yourself that, Honey." Karin huffed and crossed her arms. Her so called "brother" really got under her skin sometimes.

"I wonder what could be bothering him….?" A soft voice asked curiously. Karin turned to see Juugo peeking out of his own room, his bright orange hair falling across his equally orange eyes. Karin pressed her mouth together into a thin line. She was wondering the same thing, but thought better than to press the matter with Sasuke. She shrugged boredly.

"Just don't worry about it, Juugo." Karin stated, walking back to her room across the hall. "I'm sure we'll find out eventually…" The door clicked shut softly. Juugo glanced one more time down the hallway to the closed door that belonged to Sasuke's room, before retreating back into his own. He nodded slightly to himself, trusting in Karin's judgment of the situation. Surely they'd find out soon enough, all they had to do was wait.

oooooOOOOOOOooooo

"WHAT!" Karin shrieked loudly, jumping up from her seat and staring in shock at her foster father. "What do you mean we're moving!" Suigetsu grumbled, rubbing his ear and glaring at Karin from his seat across the table. Juugo quietly watched Sasuke as he sulked quietly in his chair next to Karin, casting an annoyed, but surprisingly approving glare at her outburst. Juugo continued picking at his food, processing the news. Konoha doesn't sound too bad, Juugo thought absentmindedly. In fact, it'll be much better than here. Besides,

What's the worst that could happen?

Sorry it's such a short chapter this time. I couldn't really think of any way to make this longer without it seeming to ramble!

Anyway, please read and review or I'll sick Juugo on you!
