-1 Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of the characters in this story.

First off, I would like to thank those who viewed and reviewed my last story "I Wouldn't Change it for the World." It was my first, so I really appreciate all the support and awesome comments.

So, this is like, only my second story and it will definitely be a multi-chapter fic. I haven't worked out how many yet, but it will be quite a few. We'll see, but anyway, it doesn't really matter. I just hope you guys enjoy. This chapter is pretty much like a prologue.

This, of course, will be another SasuKaka father/son fic. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Prologue: Ominosus

The dieing flickering flames of the candles were the only thing that gave off any indication of life. Otherwise the place seemed devoid of the very idea that much could coexist with such clammy darkness. The room was clocked in flickering shadows created by the candles' flames. It was a dark and dreary place, fit for a creature of dark and dreary existence. It was truly fit for a snake.

"It seems things didn't go quite as planned eh Orochimaru-Sama." a young man said, halve his face hidden in the shadows. It was less of a question and more of a statement.

The young man did not get a response of any kind, but he didn't hesitate to ask his next question.

"So, what next? What will you do without Sasuke?"

"Silence Kabuto!" The man hissed, a bit out of anger, and more out of frustration. This response had taken Kabuto back a bit, but it didn't scare him enough to decide against continuing.

"What's your next plan of action. Sasuke seems completely out of reach by this point. His curse seal has been gone for a year now and he won't come looking for power from you. His friends wiped that from his head a long time ago. Surely you must be considering anoth-"

Orochimaru looked up at his apprentice, with a sudden menacing smirk spreading across his face, making Kabuto instantly still his lips. He couldn't tell what was going through his master and teacher's head at that point.

"There is one other option." Kabuto looked slightly surprised for some time before his face returned to it's original composure.

"Is the reason you have summoned me have to do with obtaining Sasuke, Orochimaru-Sama?" Kabuto looked on curiously wondering what the 'other option' was.

"Certainly, you are aware of the forbidden jutsu I have recently developed, are you not?"

"Yes, but was that have to do wi-" Kabuto stopped mid-sentence, eyes suddenly widening in shock and realization. "You can't mean using that technique on Sasuke. What good could that possibly do." He dared to question his master. Orochimaru would expect such a response however.

"Why such an extreme option? If Sasuke won't come willingly, why not just take him by force?" This was one question that Kabuto had always held back. He could never quite understand the reasoning of waiting for Sasuke to come to them, when he could have easily been taken years ago.

"The boy has been raised with that wretched will of fire instilled in his heart. His curse seal would never be able to reach it's full potential unless he was willing, and that 'will of fire' keeps that scenario out of reach. That's why this is the only option left."

Kabuto thought for a moment about what Orochimaru had said to him, until he understood just what he had in mind in using this technique as a last resort.

"Yes, I see what it is you want to come out of this then. Still, are you willing to wait that long. I still don't think the Uchiha's worth that much trouble." There was a tinge of amusement and laughter that could be heard at the end of the statement.

"Do you have a better vessel in mind." Orochimaru asked threatingly. Kabuto didn't feel at all threatened though, and returned the question with a wide ominous grin before answering.

"I'll have Sasuke before the end of the week." He said as he turned around and began to walk toward the exit of the dim dank room.

"Yes. Bring my Sasuke to me Kabuto, You know what to do."

"Of course. Sasuke's all yours"

The next evening.

Sasuke tiredly walked through the dark streets of Konoha. It was now pretty late, and the village had died down quite a while ago, and would remain quiet until the early shops opened up. The sky had turned into a jet black, starry sky ages ago. The air had grown colder along with the night. Sasuke shivered at a cool breeze that hit the back of his neck, making his hairs stand up on end. It was to be expected in the month of January. Sasuke was no big fan of the cold weather though, and thought spring couldn't come soon enough. Sasuke suddenly stopped in his tracks. He couldn't hold back the urge and let a deep yawn escape his mouth as he held a hand to his mouth. After such a hard day of training, the only thing Sasuke wanted to do was go home, take a hot shower, and hide underneath his warm blankets till the sun came back up. He couldn't wait to get home.

He was satisfied with his training though. Training had been going well these day. His body had finally gotten used to working without that cursed seal of Orochimaru's. It was a pain to deal with. Every time he would train, it would absorb or pump in chakra as it saw fit. It was like the thing had a mind of it's own, not to mention the pain it caused when it spread over his body. It was unbearable and exhausting. In fact, it had become so bad, he could hardly train without being sent to the hospital. Back then, the only thing he could have done was learn to control the seal, which would be impossible without Orochimaru's guidance, and so that was out of the question. But then unexpectedly, Tsunade had actually found a way to break the seal. It was a painful process, but it was all worth it. He was glad to be rid of anything related to Orochimaru.

Sasuke fetched his house keys out his pocket as he approached the door to his small cozy apartment. He opened the door, only thing on his mind being his bed. He could already hear it bellowing him towards it. He walked forward stepping over the threshold, and closed the door behind him. He didn't even bother cutting on a lamp and just bypassed the living room, heading straight to his bedroom. He had the urge to just jump into bed, sweaty clothes and all, but he convinced himself to clean up.

7 minutes later, he had probably taken the quickest most rushed shower in his life, but he was clean and that's what mattered. As quick as it was, it still managed to make him feel even sleepier. He walked out the bathroom, into the bedroom, plopping himself down on the bed. He could have fell asleep as is if not for the cold that had settled in the room. His aching muscles protested as they were forced to work hard enough to get Sasuke underneath the warm blankets. It was hard enough. Now that he was there, he was much more content in his warm state. He fell asleep within minutes.

An unknown figure had stood silently, watching the boy quickly fall asleep under the blankets, through a window. He loomed ominously, hair as silver as the moon. His glasses glowed a blinding white as the moon's light reflected off the lenses. His head tilted, moonlight revealing a wicked smile.

"Took you long enough Sasuke." He hissed the name of his target out of pure pleasure.

"It won't be much longer now."

"The boy has been raised with that wretched will of fire instilled in his heart. His curse seal would never be able to reach it full potential unless he was willing. But there is one other option."

"Bring my Sasuke to me Kabuto, You know what to do."

The words ringed through Kabuto's head as he was preparing to go through with the plans.

"It seems Orochimaru would do a lot to have you."

Enough talking and waiting. Sasuke was in a deep sleep by this time and Kabuto hoped he could achieve his goal without waking the Uchiha. It was true that Sasuke had truly progressed in strength. Kabuto wasn't sure if he could take him down so easily, and he didn't want to try and find out. Besides, a battle would bring too much attention, even in this late hour. Waking up the Uchiha would more than likely result in failure, not to mention, Konoha would be on high alert for days. Last thing he wanted was to have to deal with Orochimaru.

He opened the window, sending a cold gust of air into the room, slithering through as quiet as a snake. He walked slowly up to the sleeping figure, being extra careful not to wake him. Under normal circumstances, perhaps Sasuke would have woken up, but his fatigue and aching muscles overpowered his cat-like senses. Kabuto came to a stop in front of the bed, shadow hovering menacingly over Sasuke.

Kabuto carefully performed a string of complex hand signs, creating a purplish blue glow that enveloped his entire right hand. Lowering it slowly, he placed the hand upon the sleeping boy's head. An intense blast of the blue chakra suddenly pumped into his head and throughout the rest his body, making his entire body glow a blue hue.

Sasuke's eyes suddenly shot open, feeling a strange sensation come over him. He looked around nervously, not really knowing what had happened. He saw nothing unusual. It was the same as normal. He felt another strange sensation reach the back of his neck, making him shiver. He looked over to find his window open. There was a cold winter breeze blowing though making the room colder by the minute. He got up quickly to take a look.

"Hnnn?" He questioned himself. He certainly didn't remember this window being open when he went to bed. He got closer and stuck his head out the window, peering in all directions, looking for anything out of the ordinary. Everything looked normal though.

Content with his brief evaluation, Sasuke shut the window and decided that he was overreacting to a little cold wind. He yawned before he sleepily made his way back into bed, once again getting comfortable underneath the blankets.

Outside the window, Kabuto pulled himself from the surface of the wall. It was a special cloaking ability he had learned from Orochimaru, and Kabuto was grateful to have taken the time to learn it. It definitely came in useful this night.

"That was too close." He peeked through the window nervously. "It's too dangerous to stay here now. I'll be back for you later. The jutsu won't take affect for a few hours anyhow."

With that Kabuto left the apartment and it's renter to themselves, definitely wanting to get out of Konoha before he was spotted. He had successfully completed the first part of his mission.

End

That's the end. It was like the prologue of the story. I hope it interested you all. This will be my first multi-chapter fic and only my second fiction in all. I already have the generalized story in mind. The hard part is putting it on paper and making it work. I plan on giving you guys the entire story. I would hate to have a writer's block in the middle of it an quit. Don't worry, I won't, hopefully. Anyway, thanks for reading and please review. Don't be soft. I would appreciate all the critique if it helps me improve my stories for you guys. Oh, and quick question? This is an alternate timeline, obviously. Doesn't mean that Yamato and Sai can't make an appearance. I can't confirm Sai, but Yamato may definitly make an appearance if he gets a couple of votes from reviewers. So my question is 'Sai and Yamato or no?' Your choice. You can post your answers in the reviews. Hopefully I get some lol.
