Sasuke walked calmly down the halls of the asylum, an attendant close behind him. Sometimes the white walls that were standard of these places bothered him, but not today. Today had been the first time Sasuke had been out of his old home in a long time. The boy, a little over 15, ambled down the hall with a small grin on his face. He was being transferred from a psyco ward on the west side of Konoha to here, a long term care facility named Kure-Ji-Taku. Now an asylum might not have been the first place one expected to see the lone Uchiha. But it was true. He had been kept there for almost a year due to an incident where he got into a fight with a local boy in town and almost killed him. Sasuke twitched slightly and the doctor behind him tensed, fingering the tranquilizer in his pocket. But the boy smiled, waving the man away to indicate he was alright. The only way he would have really snapped is if the attendant had called him a fish.

Yes, if there was one thing Sasuke could not stand it was being called a fish, and not without reason. The boy had become extremely sensitive to that word ever since he had become one. His blue skin was covered in scales and gills were visible over the dark collar of his shirt. It was all because of an unfortunate run-in with a pair of kunoichi and a bridge. They had tossed him over, for some strange reason, into the river and left him there. Unfortunately, Sasuke couldn't swim back then, although he was quite proficient now, and was faced with the choice of drowning, or quickly adapting. And so, the last remaining Uchiha became a fish. The young boy picked up his pace a little down the hall. He would need water soon, as all fish did, and wanted to get situated in his room as quickly as possible. Brushing the pink strands of hair out of his vision, he growled an impossible threat at the two girls who made him this way. His hair had been changed with a "dust bunny", a very strange summon of theirs, that had exploded on his head. It was irreversible. For quite a while, he had used genjutsu to hide his appearance, but it eventually just cost too much chakra. He stopped using it two years ago.

But he never really got used to the teasing. The jeering, the jokes, they made him snap eventually and that was when he was committed. Kure-Ji-Taku was a nice place, fully equipped as a town for the mentally handicapped. But he was living in the facility itself, not fit for society. Mainly because of the spasms that happened every time the word fish was mention, his fanatic obsession with not eating fish, and his attempts to kill anyone who mentioned his appearance. As such, he would be living with two other people in the intensive care unit, which they were approaching now. Waiting as the attendant presented the paperwork, Sasuke took a look around. It was nice enough, with cells down one isle, then the cafeteria down another and the doctor's wings down the third isle. After a few more minutes of medical babble, the nurse stepped out from behind the desk.

"Come with me please, Mr. Uchiha." She smiled politely, walking down the cell block. He followed, letting his empty water bottle dangle from his fingers, all the way to the end of the hall. To his surprise, there was another corridor here and they took a left, entering a long row of padded cells. He probably should have been offended, but the Uchiha was more wary instead. The lady lead him to the fourth cell on the right then took a set of keys from her belt. Unlocking the door and opening it to reveal the padding inside, she smiled and said,

"Here is your room, Mr. Uchiha." But as soon as Sasuke walked in, he froze. In one corner of the room, sitting on her bed, was a girl dressed in fishnets. A blue shirt and skirt were emblazoned with the Hyuuga symbol and her brown hair tied up to keep it out of her eyes. Although they were light, her eyes obviously showed the effects of tranquilizers, giving her a stoned look. The other girl was relaxing in the corner, a straight jacket covering her green shirt. The bangs of her blond hair, placed in two ponytails, also fell into her eyes, which had an evil glint in them. Their attention was immediately drawn to Sasuke, who felt as though he had been dropped in a den of sleeping lionesses. They grinned maniacally, and Sasuke realized he recognized them, from an unfortunate incident involving a bridge and a river.

"Hello, fish-boy."

"AHHHH!"
