Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot. Hopefully this isn't like someone else's. If it is, then I'm sorry….But I do wish I owned Itachi and Sasuke. In my world, they would fight over me, and not the annihilation of the Uchiha Clan. Ah wellI'll keep on dreaming then.

Why Itachi killed his family

Itachi was wandering about his room in the Akatsuki lair. He was bored. Kisame wasn't there for him to weird out, Deidara was busy so he couldn't glare at him and Tobi was…well as long as he wasn't there, Itachi didn't really care. He just couldn't understand Tobi. No matter how hard he tried to freak him out, he just couldn't. Stupid smiling brat.

He decided to go for a walk in the Akatsuki Gardens, which incidentally was by The Lair. He went to his secret place, which no one but he knew about, which was why it was called his secret place. He sat down and contemplated his life and how he had come to be the man he was. The man who had killed his whole clan aside from his younger brother Sasuke.

He was born about 23 years ago to a couple called Fugaku and Makoto. Right up until he was about 7, maybe 8, all was well. He was the prodigy, the boy who knew everything. Father was proud of him and he was his mother's favourite. It was all going so well until father gave mother that damn seed which got mother pregnant. When he had found out about the new baby in his mother's tummy, he wasn't happy. But he masked his emotions and smiled. He then proceeded to run and hug his mother, squishing her. She laughed, thinking he was happy about the baby. Little did she know, he was actually trying to squash the….thing…in her tummy. Needless to say it didn't work. The tadpole in his mother lived on. Itachi retired to his bedroom to plan another Get Rid Of Tadpole In Mother's Tummy (GROTIMT).

He thought and thought, and finally came up with a plan so amazing he was proud of himself. While no one was looking, he went out and bought a bottle of chili sauce. He crept back into the house. When he was called for dinner, he hid the bottle under his shirt. They started eating and he pretended he heard someone at the door. His father went to open it. He pointed to the window. His mother looked out. Quickly he poured the chili into his mother's dinner. When both parents came back, he acted innocent. His mother took a huge bite out of her dinner, and immediately started gasping for water. Itachi grinned, knowing that whatever his mother ate, so would the worm inside of her. Maybe now it would shrivel up like that fly did when he put a match over it. He found out a couple of days later the worm lived on. He wasn't pleased.

So he got back to thinking. If he couldn't squish it, or burn it, then why not get it out of his mother's tummy? He couldn't open her up and get it out. She might die and then he would have gotten told off. So how could he get it out? AHA! He would make his mother sick. He went and bought outdated food and, looking innocent, gave them to his mother. She ate the food and a few hours later, was sick. He rubbed his hands in glee. Now the baby would be thrown out like the rest of the rubbish inside his mother's tummy.

He found out two days later the shrimp was STILL alive. And his mother was getting fat. Six months had gone by since his parents had told him he was to have a baby brother or sister. He knew that he couldn't do anything while the shrimp was in his mother's tummy. It was too big now. He would have to wait until it was born.
