Author's Note: After I read 'Timeless' by Marle, I felt like writing this one-shot story dedicated to her amazing stories and artwork.

When she awoke the next morning, Marle lifted herself up and looked at her surroundings. She was lying in a house that appeared to be man-made. The smell of sandalwood filled her nostrils as she heard the door open.

Marle shifted accordingly until she saw a handsome young man with raven black hair that was spiked in the back. He was wearing a white kimono that was opened at the torso, as well as a pair of dark blue pants with a blue cloth hanging from halfway up his stomach to his knees along with black armguards that covered his forearms and stretched up to reach his upper biceps. He also wore a purple rope belt around his waist, tied in a bow, in which he carries his sword.

Marle felt a wave of panic come over her as the raven haired man tossed her a clean shirt, adorned with a symbol of a red and white fan on the back. Throwing it on her naked body, she thanked him.

"Your welcome." he said coldly as he disappeared into the kitchen. Without looking at Marle, he added. "Come with me. I'll make you some steamed rice."

Letting herself be taken by the waves of sensations she was feeling, Marle followed the raven man into the kitchen, where she learned that his entire family and relatives were slaughtered by his only brother, leaving him alive.

"Thank you for the meal." Marle said, setting her chopsticks down. "I didn't get your name."

The raven man sighed. "Its Sasuke Uchiha." he said as he also set his chopsticks on the table.
