Chapter One
Sasuke sat on his roof, looking at the stars. He gazed up at the moon. Tonight's pretty, why can't everyday be as peaceful as this? Sasuke thought, of course he had other reasons to be on the roof. He simply like being alone, by himself. He found it calming and relaxing. Though tonight had a small, soft chill. It made him shiver. Though he didn't mind it, Sasuke only continued to gaze up at the stars and the beautiful night sky.
"Oi, Sasuke!" He heard a voice. A blonde shouted from the ground. He waved his arm like a psychopath. Sasuke sighed, he climbed back into his window, running down stairs to open the door. He heard the blonde pounding at the door. Sasuke slightly chuckled. "Open the freaking door, Teme!" Sasuke opened the door, the blonde rushed through the door, into the house, and into the bathroom. Sasuke shook his head, he sat in the chair.
"Naruto, you idiot, do you really have to barge in like a wild animal?" He asked. Though Sasuke thought it was pointless.
"Well, I couldn't wait!" The blonde shouted through the door. Sasuke sighed. This is pointless, absolutely pointless! He got up and went into the kitchen. Sasuke grabbed a can of soda, cracking it open to take a sip. Naruto opened the door, he sighed. Naruto looked at Sasuke.
"So, whatcha doing, teme?" Naruto asked.
"Hn."
Naruto felt his eye like popped out of its socket. Dammit, why does he have to act so cool! Sasuke looked at him, his charcoal eyes made Naruto jump. Sasuke smirked with thought of knowing of what the blonde was going to say.
"What are you doing here, Naruto, I know when something is on your mind, because you fidget like a cat with fleas." Naruto scratched his head. He was nervous. Shit, how in the hell did he find out?
"Kiba, Shikamaru, and I think you should date someone, perhaps Ino, or Karin."
Sasuke looked at him, his eyes full of fury and anger. Naruto felt like shrinking into a ball and hiding in the corner. Why is it always me who pisses him off!?
"I don't feel like dating anyone right now." Sasuke told him.
"C'mon, you've been saying that for three months now, Sasuke. Wake up, man."
"Your parents died when you were just a baby, you didn't have a girl cheat on you, and you didn't have a brother who just's abandons you!"
"Stop changing the subject, stop running away, stop looking at the past and see what the hell's right in front of you!"
Sasuke gasped. Naruto doesn't know what it's like to loose everything, right before your eyes. Sasuke looked at him, his eyes full of pain. Naruto looked down.
"I know it's hard, but if you keep on holding onto the past, you'll loose everything again. All of your friends." Sasuke didn't answer, he looked away.
"I'll see ya in school, catch ya later, Sasuke."
"See ya." Sasuke muttered, he went up stairs. Sasuke turned to see a picture of his family. Each and very one of them smiled, His father, his mother, and Itachi. He remembered the times they had. It was like second nature to him.
Memories: Itachi
Sasuke played with his toy car and dinosaur. He heard the door open.
"I'm home!" He bounced up excitedly. Sasuke bounded to the door, he saw Itachi taking off his shoes.
"Welcome home, big brother!" He almost knocked Itachi off his feet.
"Can you play?" He asked his brother. Itachi smiled.
"Sasuke, Itachi has some homework to do." His mother called. Sasuke looked down in disappointment.
"Don't worry mother, it's just English, it's easy anyway." Itachi said. Sasuke bounced up in excitement.
"Alright, lets head to the forest." Sasuke put on his shoes and followed Itachi outside. They ran past the shed and into the forest.
"What shall we play?" Itachi asked. Sasuke thought for a moment, than answered.
"Hide and seek!"
"Alright, I'll hide, you try and find me."
Sasuke nodded. He turned away to let Itachi hide. He began to count. Once he reached 30, he turned and tried to find his brother. He searched the undergrowth, the trees and on the stomp. "Lets try..." He crawled under the pine tree. "Here!" Itachi smiled. He patted Sasuke on the head.
"Very good Sasuke. Your getting good at this." Sasuke smiled and laughed.
"We better get home, or mother will chew us out." They ran home. Sasuke say fathers car. "Hey father!" Both boys said together. Fugaku looked at them.
"I most be going nuts." He muttered. Sasuke and Itachi reached the house. Mother sat the food down. "You boys are on time." They nodded. They sat down and began to eat.
Fugaku Uchiha
Sasuke ran home to show father his grades, he was excited to show his father that he had talent. He opened the door, his father was drinking coffee, his eyes darted up to see Sasuke. "Home on time, just like your brother." Sasuke saw him smile.
"I have something to show you." He handed his father the report card. Fugaku smile became wider.
"Very good, son, tonight, you and I will go out, I'll show you things how things are at the station." Sasuke smiled, he father was a cop. It was an honor to be the son of the chief of the whole police force.
"Tomorrow, your mother and I will go shopping. Itachi will watch you until we get home. Sasuke nodded, finally he got his father attention.
A Fateful day to remember
Sasuke saw his parents get into the car, he wanted to go with them, but it was his birthday and it was a surprise. He had to sit around with Itachi until they get back. Itachi was upstairs with his buddies. Sasuke beat all of his video games. He couldn't go outside. So he grabbed a book and began reading. An hour past and no one had came home, Itachi was in the kitchen. The phone rang, Itachi grabbed it and answered.
"Hello?" Sasuke couldn't what's going on. He tried to get closer but still he couldn't hear anything but Itachi's voice.
"What!?" Itachi punched the wall. Sasuke was now worried, did something happen?
"I'll be right there." Sasuke was now concerned. Itachi came out with his coat, he grabbed his keys. Sasuke got up.
"Itachi, what's going on?" Itachi looked back at his little brother. He had tear's in his eyes. Sasuke really wanted to know.
"Mother and father are in the hospital, a drunk driver hit them." Sasuke's eyes went wide. Itachi opened the door. Sasuke grabbed his knees, he sobbed uncontrollable.
"No, no, no, this can't be happening!" He punched the floor. Sasuke waited for hours, he fell asleep in his fathers chair. The phone rang, Sasuke woke up, drowsily, he answered the call.
"Hello?" He asked.
"Sasuke." It was Itachi!
"Is mother and father alright?" Sasuke really wanted to know.
"Sasuke, the doctors did all they... Could do... I'm sorry." Itachi sobbed over on the phone. Sasuke dropped the phone. He felt tears come out of his eyes. "Dammit, dammit!" He cried.
End of memories.
That was a painful memory that sasuke had to endure for the rest of his life. He looked out the window. Naruto is right, I should stop living in the past. I need to move forward. He climbed in bed, his eyes slowly began to shut. Soon he fell into the black abyss.
