"Why...why...why him and not me..." sobbed a young boy as he sinks slowly to the floor of his room. On the outside a small knock followed by a gentle woman's voice is heard.

"Sasuke honeys are you okay?"

When given silence as a reply the woman tried to turn the doorknob only to realize that it was locked. Finally the boy answers, "Mom please go away."

After a few minutes of silence passes between them the mom leaves. Sasuke then starts trembling and crying again. He closes his eyes as he let the horrible flashback of what happened finally take control.

-Flashback-

Sasuke sleeps soundly in his bed, completely unaware of the dark figure standing over him until it's too late. Like a tiger Itachi, pounces Sasuke and tickles him until he is fully awake and laughing.

"Oh my god! Stop! Stop! I'm awake! I'm awake!" shouts Sasuke breathlessly.

"Nope. Not stopping. I told you this would happen if you weren't up when I was." smirks Itachi as he continues to tickle him mercilessly. Sasuke tries his best to push his older brother off him but to no avail.

"Say uncle and I'll let you go"

"Uncle!"

"Heh. Kay I'll let you go for now but when I come back you better be dressed." and with that Itachi jumps off Sasuke and leaves the room.

"Jerk." whispers Sasuke as he locks his door.

In less than 10 minutes Sasuke is wearing a dark navy blue shirt, black swim trunks, and one sneaker. He scratches his head as he realizes that the other missing shoe is not in his room. He leaves to search the rest of the house. In almost no time he returns with the missing sneaker. After he puts it on, he walks over to his window and looks out.

It's almost been a year since his family moved to Konoha, and life was already going great. Besides Itachi, who is 17, Sasuke had a younger sister Hinata, who is 8. Sasuke, the middle child, is 15. Like the rest of his siblings Sasuke had black hair and onyx eyes.

Even though Itachi is taller than Sasuke by a couple inches and has straight long hair, people still manage to mistake the two as twins.

Just like most brothers, Itachi and Sasuke live in two completely different worlds. Itachi is the basic popular party boy that everyone knows and loves. While, Sasuke is the quiet loner that is most likely found always hanging out in the library.

As Sasuke continuously stands staring out the window, he is unaware of his brother watching him until he hears him sigh.

"Dude come on let's go. Or is it that you don't want to go to the beach?"

"I'm coming. I was just thinking that's all..."

"Naw I get it. You just want me to tickle you again don't you?" smiles Itachi as he walks toward Sasuke in a predator way.

"Hell no." says Sasuke as he skillfully dodges Itachi and runs downstairs.

"Heh. That's what I thought." whispers Itachi as he turns off the light and closes the door.
