Control

Attempted Destruction

About a year and a half ago you almost met your demise in a lake but luckily a boy named Naruto Uzumaki saved you before you could drown. Due to this Naruto later became a very good friend of yours. Regardless of the friendship that came out of this you were still haunted by the memory of almost drowning.

You didn't blame it on Sasuke though. It was no body's fault but you could tell Sasuke felt like it was his fault. You had tried to convince him several times in the past that it wasn't but it was no use. He still felt guilty for it. Even to this very day, you could tell he still felt guilty.

The only reason you could tell this was because the way he acted around you after the incident. He would always watch you like a hawk and would try to protect you from harm whenever the two of you hung out. Which wasn't a bad thing but you didn't want him to feel obligated to look out for you.

You never did bring his change in behavior up after the incident though. You felt it would only irritate him especially now, with his cold and uninterested demeanor, you would never even think of bringing it.

You wish Sasuke was still happy like how he use to be when you two first met. After the Uchiha clan massacre though he changed. It was understandable he changed though, having to witness one's entire clan being slaughtered by one's own brother is bound to have some affect.

~Flashback~

It had been four days since the Uchiha clan massacre and Sasuke had yet to show up to the academy since it happened. It was beginning to really worry you, so you decided that once class was over today you would go check on him.

Once class ended you quickly rushed out of the classroom without so much as a goodbye to your friends. You weren't trying to come off as rude, you were just worried and wanted to get to the Uchiha clan's main house as soon as possible.

After a nearly 20 minute walk you finally made it to the Uchiha clan's main house house. It looked so empty and lifeless, nothing like how it use to look.

Frowning at this you quickly walked up the steps to the front porch. Inhaling a deep breath you raised your fist to the door. Just as your fist was about to hit the wood the door creaked opened.

You stared at the slightly ajar door unsure of whether to enter or not. You were a bit afraid to go inside but you swallowed down your fear and entered the house anyways.

Glancing around you quietly began walking through the dimly lit house in search of your friend. As you searched the house you paused in front of a door that was barely cracked open. Inside the room you could hear soft whimpers.

Noiselessly pushing open the door you saw Sasuke setting in the darkest corner of the room. His face was buried in his knees as his body softly shook with each breath he inhaled. In the center of the dark room there were faint blood stains on the floor.

'T-this must have been where they were killed by...Itachi.' You thought trying to quietly step into the room but you failed miserably as one of the floor boards creaked beneath your foot.

Sasuke's head immediately shot up at the noise causing you to freeze in shock. He looked like a complete mess. His hair was disheveled and his face was stained with tears.

"G-go away." Sasuke choked out with an icy glare.

"Sasuke I just wa-" You began but you were quickly cut off by Sasuke's harsh yell.

"I said go away!"

You frowned sadly at this as Sasuke once again buried his head in his knees.

'He must be hurting pretty bad to act like this...' You thought as you quietly made your way to Sasuke. Once reaching him you sat down beside him. Sasuke tensed at this and slowly lifted his head but before he could say anything you pulled him into a hug.
