Aki, Fuyu, Haru, Natsu | Sasuke Uchiha ♥ Story |

Aki 02.

Aki 02.

4 years have past. 

16 different season changes. 4 years for the Konoha 13 to advance in their skills, techniques and knowledge, and hopefully mature. 4 more years for people to change. 

Fuyu’s curious eyes wandered around the classroom, despite knowing it like the back of her hand. 

Two cracks in the right top corner, three across the wall on the right. A squeaky step on the left side of the class room… She listed off as she scanned across the classroom.

As they did everyday, they found their target on Sasuke Uchiha. 

Like every other day, he sat by himself, staring out the window to his left. Refusing to talk to anyone. Refusing to let anyone in.

Not even Fuyu.

You’ve changed so much Sasuke. She thought to herself, sighing lightly.

As if he read her mind, he sharply veered his gaze over to Fuyu locking his onyx eyes onto her golden brown ones. 

I’m so used to your glare Sasuke, it’ll take a lot more to scare me away. She thought to herself, maintaining her gaze at him.

Sasuke’s calm, emotionless expression slowly turned into a scowl. 

Fuyu. He growled mentally, showing it clearly in his eyes. 

In contrast, Fuyu’s eyes showed how hurt she was. Eventually, she tore her eyes away from his, focusing on something that isn’t powerful enough to evoke the feelings she previously did anything to avoid.

Why have you changed so much, Sasuke? She asked herself, squeezing her eyes shut. Shutting out the heartbreak. Shutting out Sasuke’s glare. Shutting out Sasuke’s sadness.

Unknown to Fuyu, Sasuke maintained his glare on her. Only this time, his eyes not scolding but showing pure sadness. 

He turned back around, looking back at the window the filtered in the Autumn sun’s bright rays.

“I promise I’ll never leave you Sasuke.” a young Fuyu’s voice echoed through his mind. “I’ll tell you what Sasuke, let’s pinky promise each other that we’ll never leave each other alone. No matter the circumstance.”

As much as he would deny it, almost everyday, that same voice, that same day, those same promises replayed in Sasuke’s mind. Torturing him. Scolding him for even threatening to break those promises.

No matter what he did, he could never forget those words even after 4 years, no matter the circumstance. 

I hope you know I still remember those promises. Sasuke thought to himself. No matter how hard I try, I can’t forget them.

“Class!” Iruka Sensei called, attempting to gain the bustling children’s attention. “Class!!” he repeated slightly louder.

Taking in an agitated sigh, he prepared to put on his tyrant teacher face. “SIT DOWN NOW!” He ordered, successfully gaining the students attention. 

“It’s about time.” he sighed. “Anyways, I’m sure all of you know what tomorrow is.” 

“What’s tomorrow Iruka Sensei!” Naruto asked from his seat. 

“If you give me a moment, I’ll be able to explain it Naruto.” he replied through clenched teeth. “Tomorrow will be Academy Graduation day. Believe it or not, all of you are more than ready to start your lives as shinobi.”
