Characters: OU!Uchiha Sasuke [

theloneheir], OPEN
When: Friday, July 23
Where: Nesreca Abandoned Library
Rating: PG
Summary: Sasuke's at the library. What do you do when you see him?

After a rather eventful week, for Nesreca anyway, Sasuke was glad to have a little time to himself. Granted, he still had a shadow clone watching Itachi. He always did, when he felt the need to go out. It gave him something new to do, if only for an hour or so.

Sasuke stared at pile after pile of books and then shifted his gaze toward the remainder of the haphazard mess in the corner. Letting out a breathe, he made his way over and knelt down, starting to pick the books up one by one, starting a new pile. Once fifteen books were stacked up, he started another, and repeated the process until all of the books were picked up.

Getting back to his feet, he wiped off the dust on the back of his jeans as he surveyed all of the piles. He could make another shadow clone to help him go through these books faster, to see which ones had decayed beyond salvation and which ones that could still be used. But he wouldn't. If anything happened, especially with Madara around now, he didn't want to risk anything happening when he only had access to a third of his chakra. Half was better.

Well, if he was going to do this himself, he had better get started. He sat down where he stood and grabbed the closest book, flipping through the pages as the tomoe of his Sharingan spun. His eyes would definitely help.

Whoops, that book was no good. That'll get tossed behind him and over his shoulder. He can burn that pile.

"Ow."

Oh, so someone was standing there.

Ushiro Jun really had no clue what had brought him to the library. It was run down and filthy, and more than a little eerie, but here he was. He had heard a noise coming from this room, and even though he wasn't the type who had to check everything out, he was still slightly curious. He had been standing in the doorway for a little while, looking at the young man going about his business. Organized enough. Jun approved of that.

He didn't approve of getting the book tossed in his head however.

"Watch it."

I recognize that guy...

Sasuke grabbed another book to look through and set it in his lap before glancing behind his shoulder at Jun. Oh, he knew him. The one that refused to give him back his dogtag at first. Yay.

Without a word, Sasuke turned to the book and started to slip through it. After a minute, he finally spoke, "Then move the book to the corner and get out of the way."

The boy simply shrugged and walked over to one of the piles, plopping down on it.

"What are you doing?"

"Sorting." This book was good. Sasuke set it on his other side before picking up a third and going through it quickly. As he did, he noticed that there was a big chunk of it missing, let out a sigh, and tossed it over to where the first book had gone.

"Why?"

He picked up a book himself... And quickly dropped it as some bug with far too many legs crawled out of it.

"Shit!"

"The books I'm throwing are useless. I'll be burning them." At the squeal, Sasuke glanced back over his shoulder again and couldn't help but roll his eyes. Really? This kid was afraid of bugs?

Yes, he was, and right now he was busy trying to stomp the thing into oblivion.

He was surrounded by idiots. Sasuke went back to paying him no mind, continuing his job of going through all of the books.

Jun may or may not be getting another book thrown at him.

He managed to squish the bug eventually, with the result of his shoes getting slippery.

So the next thing that happened was that a scrawny twelve-year-old crashed into one of the book piles. Oops.

... So not my day today...

Sasuke let out a breath, slammed the book he was flipped through closed and, for the third time, glanced back at Jun with crimson eyes. Thanks a lot, kid. Really.

"I would hope you intend to pick that up."

"Yeah, yeah..."

He glanced up as the redhead entered, shying away ever so slightly.

"Hn." And Sasuke went right back to his task. Busy, busy.

Jun slowly picked up another book, shaking it a few times before daring to open it, and when he found that it was safe enough, he plopped down, opening it, but not really reading it. Instead he kept a close watch on Sasuke and the redhead from underneath his bangs, curious to see whether they knew each other or not.

Matt was a mess.

The week had been awful outside, Sophie was biting everything and clawing more than everything but worst of all... Mello was gone. The gamer knew he was gone for the simple reason that the PDA was sitting in the kitchen with a pile of chocolate bars but no blonde ever came to get them.

It was only when an alarm on his own PDA went off that Matt realized the date. He didn't have any cute dinosaur plushies or fun ninja star magnets to give this year so Matt would have to improvise on his gift for Sasuke. Which was why he was headed to the library with the silly hope of finding him a book in a language he would be able to read.

As Matt made his way inside, he saw the person he had gone "gift hunting" for and felt even worse. Well now how would he pick out anything useful if Sasuke was sitting right there?

Sasuke wasn't even paying that much attention as he went through each book. When the book was deemed as 'good,' he set it aside in its own pile. When the book was deemed as 'bad,' he tossed it.

When Matt entered the library, he noticed but didn't say anything. Instead, he just continued his task.
