I looked up at the stary sky; the map of constellations shone bright and distinctly, as if to tell a story. The sky seemed to stretch endlessly from my place on the roof, and I wondered briefly if my mother was seeing the same stars.

I sighed as I clutched my charm necklace tightly in my hand. Did she miss me? Was she doing alright? Is she looking for me right now? My head was starting to ache with all the questions racing through my mind.

I closed my eyes as a deep stinging pain struck my chest, and a grimace overtook my features. I should be looking for a way back into my world, not relaxing and making friends while my mom was probably worried out of her mind.

I couldn't even save my own best friend.

I could feel my lip start to tremble as an image of Ally's lifeless eyes filled my mind.

I'm so sorry.

What the hell was I even doing here? Rin was wrong, I don't belong here. I belong back in America with mom and Ally, binge watching shows on Netflix and complaining about school.

I opened my eyes to see the moonlight gleaming down on the strange charm. I studied the intricate designs, hoping to find an answer to all my questions.

Why do you have the Hatake clan symbol?

I sighed. Who am I?

"Stop making that face, you look constipated."

And of course, guess who decides to ruin my moment of contemplation.

"What are you doing here, Sasuke?" I sighed irritatedly, tucking the charm back into my shirt before he could see it.

"Hn."

I didn't even bother to reprimand him, my desire for an argument having completely vanished. After a couple of moments, I decided to speak.

"Do you ever wonder," I started, looking down. "You know, what you're meant to do in life."

"No." Sasuke didn't even hesitate to answer.

I snorted. "Oh right, I forgot. You've already got your entire life planned. Let me see if I remember correctly; you plan to get stronger, kill someone, then make babies," I listed off my fingers with a smug grin.

I could've sworn Sasuke's face tinted the slightest bit pink in the moonlight, although it could've just been my imagination.

Sasuke cleared his throat as he averted my eyes. "Restore my clan," he corrected.

"Same difference," I grinned, earning me an annoyed glare from Sasuke.

A couple moments of silence passed, with both of us watching the dark expanse of water in front of us. The slow rhythm of waves crashing against the shore was strangely calming in my time of distress.

"Sena," Sasuke suddenly spoke, startling me out of my trance.

"Yeah?"

"Where did you come from?"

I blinked. "Come again?"

Sasuke sighed. "I mean, you turn up out of nowhere right before the graduation test..."

I press my lips to together as he refuses to explain himself any more, typical Sasuke. How was I going to explain America to him?

"You're right, I'm not from here," I finally admitted, and I could feel Sasuke's eyes on me now in curiosity. "I actually come from somewhere very, very different. There's no ninjas, or chakra, or demons of the mist coming to decapitate you." I chuckled bitterly at my own joke.

"I've got a mom, and I had a friend. She.. she had to suffer for my stupidities." I bit my lip to keep it from trembling. "I let her... I let her.." my voice cracked at the end of the sentence, and I turned away, blinking furiously. Great, I've now humiliated myself in front of the person who would most likely use it against me. Damn emotions.

Though, Sasuke didn't make any comments as I struggled to get a hold of my emotions, which I was quite thankful for.

"Don't blame yourself for things you can't control," Sasuke said suddenly, causing me to look at him with wide eyes. When he noticed my look, he glared at me and looked away. "Don't flatter yourself, I was only stating facts," he grunted irritatedly.

I clutched my my hand over my heart, a fake expression of hurt crossing my features. "And just when I thought you actually had feelings for a moment," I shook my head dramatically.

"Whatever, annoying," Sasuke grunted, causing me to roll my eyes.

"I'm wounded."

Sasuke rolled his eyes.

We stayed like that in a comfortable silence before I suddenly turned to him, a slight smile on my face.

"You know," I started hesitantly, "don't take this the wrong way, but you're not bad for an emotionless bastard."

Sasuke glanced at me with a smirk. "You're still annoying."

My jaw dropped in disbelief, and Sasuke's smirk grew bigger as he got up from his spot next to me, walking to the edge of the roof. He said nothing as he swiftly jumped back into the house through the window, leaving me once more to contemplate my thoughts.

After a few moments, I finally got the sense to close my mouth; and shook my head.

Still a bastard.
