Chapter One

Uchiha Sasuke, a fair skinned prodigy, barely eighteen years old and already well known throughout the land.

His family was once considered royalty, till the day, when he was eight, they were slaughtered by his older brother, Itachi. Itachi had been mumbling things about having to stop wipe the earth clean of the filth as he stood over their parents bodies, shortly before turning his sword towards Sasuke. Had it not been for Hatake Kakashi, a close friend of the family, who had managed to come to Sasuke’s aid Itachi would have succeeded in killing him as well.

Kakashi had taken it upon himself to raise Sasuke teaching him everything he knew about fighting. Preparing him for the day when Itachi would inevitably return to finish what he’d started.

When he was fifteen war had broken out across the country, and though he had no experience on the battlefield his skills in the art of fighting gained him a high ranking position and soon after the title of warrior prince. He wasn’t the only young warrior to gain a title, his friends Neji, Shikamaru, and Lee had also gained titles and high ranking positions.

Now at eighteen he was once more living within the Uchiha manor which resided just on the outskirts of the Kyuubi Forest. His position within the town forcing him to interact with the community on a daily basis. Which meant there was always a constant stream of people coming to and from his home. Though none were allowed on the second floor of the mansion, where Sasuke spent most of the day hiding out and going through old family records and history.

“Sasuke-kun!” With a sigh Sasuke looked up in time to see a girl with pink hair come barging into his study, Sakura.

As of late his major annoyance was the towns sudden desire to see him married off, which had led to every single girl within miles showing up at his mansion in hopes of becoming his bride. Sakura was one of the worst. She would show up everyday not at all deterred by his lack of interest in her.
“What is it that you want Sakura?” Sasuke asked as we went back to studying the documents on his desk. “You know no one is allowed up here.”

“Surely that doesn’t apply to me anymore. We are friends now after all.” Sakura pouted as she came to stand in front of his desk.

“It applies to everyone.” He said glancing up to glare at her. “Even you Kakashi.” He said with a sigh, turning his head to the side to glare at Kakashi who was sitting on the edge of the once closed window.

“Dang you noticed me.” Kakashi said as he shut the window before walking over to the side of the desk.

“Of course I noticed you. Only an idiot wouldn’t notice a sudden draft from his window being opened.”

“Yea Yea. Anyway, I just thought you’d like to know that a few of your friends will be coming by for a visit in a few days. Neji, Shikamaru and Lee.”

“Eww, Lee is coming.” Sakura whined “He’s always hitting on me, and I can’t hide from him because he always finds me.”

“Sakura why are you still here? I told you your not allowed in here.”

“But I... ok fine I’ll be waiting in the foyer. Just don’t forget to come down and talk to me like you did last time.”

Once she had left the room Sasuke mumbled to himself, “I don’t remember ever saying I’d talk to her.”

“You really should be a little nicer to the ladies Sasuke. I’m not saying you should get married right away, hell I don’t care if you ever do. But you can’t spend the rest of your life alone.”

“I just don’t feel comfortable starting anything with Itachi still out there. The last thing I want right now is to give him an advantage over me.”

“I understand your need to be cautious, but we don’t know if Itachi ever plans to come back. There haven’t been any sightings of him since the war ended over a year ago. For all we know he may have died during the war.”

“He’s not dead, I’m sure of it.” Sasuke said with a sigh as he leaned back in his chair and looked up at the ceiling. “He’s just laying low, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.”

“Just think about what I said Sasuke.” Kakashi said as he headed for the door. “You cant spend your entire life waiting for Itachi to strike. Otherwise he’ll win in the end, even if you do manage to kill him.”

He watched silently as Kakashi slipped out of the room, shutting the door behind him. With a sigh he stood up from the desk and walked over to the window to look out on the forest that rested behind his home.
He’d only ventured into the forest once in his life, the night his brother had killed his family. He had run into the forest in fear, Itachi following behind him. It was in the forest that Kakashi had found them, and saved Sasuke from certain death.

The entire village feared the forest. Sasuke remembered his mother telling him stories of Kyuubi, a powerful demon fox that supposedly ruled over the forest as it’s guardian. Killing any who dared to disturb the forests peace. Not that Sasuke believed those stories anymore.

Sasuke turned his head towards the door as he heard the echo of voices drifting up from the first floor, more girls had arived hoping to catch his interest. Looking back to the forest he smiled. “Maybe a walk through the forest and some fresh air would do me some good.”

With his mind made he opened the window and carefully leapt down to the ground bellow, and quickly made his way into the forest.

“In the forests of the north lands where light curtains dance at night. Lived a warrior named Alexei, he was fair and young and bright. Many maidens sighed to see him, yet Alexei dwelled alone. Though they tried their best to please him, to their charms he was as stone.”

Nanaka19: Please oh please review and tell me what you think. I write a little slow but I do write so as long as you review it will keep me happy enough to try and write faster.

Also I have no way of getting the lyrics for the song other than listening to it really closely, If I ever find the lyrics I’ll make the corrections.
