III.

As we walked through the village, we slowly entered the Uchiha district. The empty, glum streets gave me the chills. I still cannot grasp my head around the fact that Itachi murdered everyone here... Our parents, our friends. Gone.

We didn't stay long since we only had to pass through to reach our destination. Kakashi comes to a halt at a little apartment just outside of the Uchiha district and looks at me, "Here we are" he says and walks up to the front door knocking firmly.

There was a sound of shuffling behind the door and the sound of the lock turning. The boy steps out. I stare at him as he looks at Kakashi. "What are you doing here Kakashi Sensei? It is getting dark out." Sasuke questions and looks over to me, "And who is this?"

Kakashi motions for me to come over, "There is someone I think who would like to meet you" I awkwardly walk over and stand beside Kakashi. I smile and give a little wave.

"I haven't seen you since you were a few months old, I can't believe it has been so long. I don't even think you know me. Or at least if mom and dad ever talked about me at the very least." I look him up at down, he is pretty tall for his age. He looks so much like mom..

"(Y/N).?" he says, his eyes widening a little bit. I nod and he quickly rushes over an hugs me. A bit taken by surprise I return the embrace, wrapping my arms around him tightly.

My gaze meets Kakashi's he seemed quite taken back by the boy's reaction himself. "It is hard to believe that the last time I saw you you were being swaddled by mom and babbling in your crib all the time. Now, you look so much like mom.." I smile softly and he pulls away.

"There was hardly ever a moment they didn't talk about you, they thought you died. The whole village did" He looks at the floor and clenches his fist. "Itachi talked about you most of all." Hearing that name made my heart sink. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that my little brother would do such a thing, it just doesn't make sense.

"Do you know why he-" I stop myself not wanting to push my boundaries especially not knowing what Sasuke may have been through.

"I don't know. He told me that one day, when I have the same eyes as him, I can face him once more. He told me to embrace my hatred and take vengeance on him." His voice was blank, with no emotion behind it. He has been through so much all alone.

"That doesn't sound like Itachi." I say, partially in denial. Kakashi places his hand on my shoulder to calm me a bit.

"Well, that doesn't matter right now I guess. What happened to you, where did you go." He says looking me in the eye.

"It is a bit much to get into right now, I am okay though. So don't worry too much about it." I lied. It is okay though, I'd just rather not put more weight on him when he is already hurting enough. I feel Kakashi's eyes burning through my skull, he probably had caught on.

"I see" he says. He looks at the sky, "It is getting late, I should head back in, we have practice early tomorrow and I'm sure Kakashi still has places to show you"

"Ah, yes. Well maybe I could stop by soon and just me and you could talk?" I smile softly at him.

"I would like that." He smiles a little bit and waves beginning to walk back into his living space.

"Goodnight Sasuke" Kakashi and I say in unison and he chuckles softly at it. He quickly turns to me as soon as the boy disappeared behind the door, "You aren't okay, so why lie to him?" There was concern written across his face.

I sigh, "He has been through enough. I don't want to give him another thing to worry about." He stares at me, he seemed puzzled.

"Well, he was right, we should get you to your place so you could get settled in and rest." I nod as he turns on his heels beginning to walk and follow closely after him. A few minutes of just silence and nothingness. The sun finally disappeared from the clear skies and the stars were becoming visible. It is pretty here at night. I could get used to this.

A bit later we arrived. He took me up the stairs and handed me a key to unlock the door. "I believe this is where our fun ends" I nod, "Sadly, I was enjoying myself" He blinks a few times. Did I say something wrong.?

"Ah yes, me too. We should do this again sometime Y/N." He gives me a closed eyed smile and I nod. "Definitely."

"There are clothes, hygiene products, and some food already in there. If you run out or need anything don't hesitate to ask. I live around the corner, so come find me as needed."

"Thank you Kakashi." As I open the door we quickly say our goodnights and part ways. Once he had left, I locked the door and looked around. The apartment was very cozy-looking. There was a big queen sized bed with fluffy blankets, a little closet, a couch, a mini kitchen, and a washroom with a shower. After settling in and getting used to my new room I made my way to the bathroom, stripping myself of my clothes, and hopping into the warm shower.

The warm water hit my face, my hair becoming soaked. It felt nice to be this clean. After a lomg time of washing my body and just standing under the hot, running water I step out. As i grab the towel my mind begins to blank. I feel so much, yet so little at the same time. It was all so confusing. This will take some time to get used to. I think to myself as I put on some pajamas that were left here for me. They were really comfortable and surprisingly my size.

After getting dressed, I brushed my teeth and walked out the washroom. Quickly, I climb into my new bed, snuggling up under the soft, warm blankets and quickly drift off to sleep.
