"Why are they scared of you?" I asked Gaara as we approached the village. The trees surrounded us and covered the sun. If this is my home, I don't recognize it... He just looked at me, with the permanent glare that his dark rimmed eyes seemed to compliment. He had his arms crossed, while he carried a gourd bigger than his torso. Was that a weapon? While we journeyed to the Konoha, he didn't bother fighting off bandits or wild animals. He just calmly walked as if nothing were happening. His team mates took care of them for him. It's rather he has a lot of confidence in his team, or he just doesn't care if we die.

He started walking slightly slower, lagging behind so we weren't so close. "Don't mind him." The blonde girl with four pony tails accompanying us said. She carried a huge fan on her back, but it seems like she had nothing else on her. No knives or anything. In fact, it seemed like all of them just carried their one huge weapon with no extra equipment. Even with my limited memory, I felt it was strange. "He's uh... shy." She smiled, trying to cover for him.

"Hm... okay?" But I didn't sense him being shy, I thought he was just a distant person. I looked back at him. Am I actually interested in him? Or is it because the voice seemed to be interested in him?

We were approaching the gate, and it opened a we approached. I could sense other people around, they were hiding. Were they suspicious of us? "Gaara, be cool okay?" The guy with the black hood and purple face markings quietly said.

"Welcome, participants from Sunagakure, and welcome back home, Kaname Uchiha." Was he talking to me? .me... sounds right I guess... Once I heard that name, all I could hear were people crying out my name. Probably from that same night. "Please, come child, you must be exhausted and very confused." He was an older gentleman, dressed in all white with a hint of red. His hat was strange and pointed outward in all sorts of directions. He held out his arm for me to come next to him. "I thank you for bringing back this young girl on your way to the exams."

"It wasn't a problem." The man, that stood so tall with scars etched on his face said. He looked scary and tough, but he didn't seem to control that act around Gaara.

"Please enjoy Konoha and all it has to offer before the exams." The old man said. They headed out to town while the old man led me somewhere. I looked back at Gaara who looked back at me.

"Don't let him go too far." Okay...?

Another ninja led me to him, but we kept our distance so he wouldn't spot us. He looked so much like me, there was no doubt that we were siblings. His dark hair and were just supplemented by his black eyes. He looked so strong, and yet he was so alone.

"Do you want to meet him?" One of the ninja said, he wore a mask like a fox, he was part of the Anbu. At least that's what the Hokage said. He entrusted him to help me, but I felt he was just here to watch me. Even though they welcomed me here as if it were my home, they still seemed cautious. I could feel others looking at me in the shadows.

"No... I said I didn't want to. It's not fair to either of us."

"Maybe if you talk to him, you'd get something from it."

"I said no..." I growled. I felt something else come out, like a deeper power inside of me. What was that? Before I could get my thoughts in order, I noticed that he had a Kunai knife.

"Easy now... He is not your enemy. Calm down..."

I let out a deep breath. "I'm not going to hurt you... let the others know that I won't either before they try to snap my neck." He lifted his arm up, giving a signal to the others. I could feel them back away. I let out another deep breath, I was calm. "If the time comes, I suppose I will meet him... Now you said you would take me to the place." He was quiet, he was hesitating. "I'm sorry, the Uchiha clan grounds... I need to see it."

"I knew what you meant."

"Then why are you hesitating?"

"Lord Hokage said to stall, that it might be too soon for you to see it."

"I'll find it myself then, maybe walking through town will jog my memory."

"No... I'll take you."

"Good... I don't want to walk through town. People my recognize me and alert my brother."

"Follow me." He led me toward the corner of the town. It was so far from where we originally were, so far from anything else. They made the Uchiha's seem like a big deal. Then why were they so out of reach from the others? He lead me straight to the Uchiha compound gates. I immediately had deja vu. It's like I could feel myself walking toward these gates a hundred times. It was etched in my muscle memory. I was standing in front of the gate, and before I knew it... I was walking slowly toward it, opening it. A loud creak sounded from the heavy doors that haven't been used in a while.

I started seeing things in the empty little part of town... at first they were people that were smiling and greeting me. Then there was only chaos and blood. Screaming... lot's of screaming. They're running... are they running from me. "Itachi, no..." I suddenly say. Itachi... that name. He's my brother too. What was he doing? Is he trying to kill me? Is he trying to top me from hurting these people?

"No... I was trying to stop him."

You were... wait, what were you doing...?

"I used your body to try to stop him."

Why? What was happening?

There was just silence.

Are you too good to talk to me now? "If you're going to be useless, then get out of my head!"

"Kaname..." I instantly turned around and found myself almost choking the man behind me. The man that lead me here surprised me, and I tried to kill him. I was talking to myself and having homicidal thoughts... "Who are you talking to?"

"Nothing... just remembering something awful." I turned around, looking back at the empty streets. I couldn't see it clearly. I saw bodies that weren't there, and blood instead of dirt. I continued walking.

"Perhaps that is enough for today..." He said.

"No, it's not." I lead myself throughout the compound. Did I even know where I was going? I kept turning hands at all the screaming I was looking at. Why did I hear them so clearly?! Why am I torturing myself? I just keep walking, but I feel like I am walking into more death, more pain...

The trail of blood led me to a house noticeably bigger than the rest. This is my actual home isn't...? I walked in and expected to find people sitting in the entrance, taking off their shoes before stepping on the wooden floor. In my memory, all I could see were two boys. One was Sasuke, but who was the other? Itachi? In this memory, I couldn't see him clearly. All I could see when I tried to remember his face as a dark figure with red eyes, drenched in blood.

I stepped in the house, wanting to take off my shoes out of habit. I walked through the hallway.

"Kaname!" I kept hearing my voice, I felt like it was coming from the house, I picked up the pace until I was running down the hall. I came to a halt when I saw shoji splattered with blood. I knew when I opened these doors, there would be more than what I could handle, but I walked anyway. I need to know... I need to find out. I just kept hearing my name, it was spoken in screams and cries.

I opened the doors and I felt like I was a little girl again. "Itachi... what are you doing?" I saw him... I had to remind myself that he wasn't here... I could see him though. In my mind, he was there. He bore clothes like the Anbu. His hair was tied loosely back, wearing the Konoha headband properly on his head. He held a sword in his hand that was dripping in blood.

"Take care of Kaname and Sasuke..." I could hear a man say, then Itachi stabbed the both of them. My parents... all I could remember of them was their bodies laid out on the floor, now it was just replaced by a giant blood stain...

"NO!" I screamed. The doors flew back and the floor boards got destroyed around me.

"Kaname!" I heard my name.

"Stop calling me!"

"Mom... dad..." I heard a younger voice. I turned around and I felt like I could see him... Sasuke. Then I saw nothing.

"Kaname!"

"I said stop calling me!" I screamed and the hallway in front of me seemed to disappear.

"It's no use... do it."

The darkness consumed me in that house once again... the last thing I could see was an owl.
