My Saviors

By Akizu Miko

Intro Chapter: Diseased

----

Before I was born, my destiny was already set for me. I was to marry the newest Uchiha baby. This was decided by our families and after I was about 7 months old, I was living with Sasuke full time, never to see my parents again. We grew up as siblings, not knowing that one day we would marry. By the time I was born, he was already 8 months old. And by that time the one who would help raise me was already a year and 4 months old, although I wouldn't meet him until much later on. Long before we could talk, the three of us were destined to be together; I know it. Deep within my heart I know that I'm supposed to be with these two. And I was completely fine with that. I loved them both equally, and for different reasons.

By the time I was five, the memories of my family were no longer existent. I thought Sasuke was my brother and his mom was my mom. Sasuke's Onii-san was my Onii-san although to me they were both older. I had my own room right between Sasuke's and Itachi's, and I don't think a girl could have felt more safe there. Until that one day...

I had just turned 8 a month ago and Sasuke would be 9 in two months.

"Little Kiki-chan,", Itachi-Onii was the only one to call me that, "Onii-san has to go away now. I want you to take care of Sasuke for me."

"But...where are you going?" I tried my hardest to lift myself from the bed, but he saw and came over to me.

"On a long mission. No matter what, stay here in this room, you hear?" Although I was concerned he still had that gentle grace about him that made me calm, which is why I love him more than Sasuke sometimes.

"Yes, brother" I bowed while sitting upright on my bed as was taught here.

He stopped me by placing his finger under my chin. He kissed my forehead, handed me a scroll, and left. That was the last time I saw Ita-onii.

I quickly put the scroll away under my bed, since I spend most of my time laying down, to read later with Sasuke-Onii. I pushed myself to lean against the headboard.

'Wonder why I have to stay in h-...' Screams. That's all I heard. Lots and lots of them. I heard Sasuke get up in the room next to me, but his foot steps were going the opposite way. I closed my eyes and ears for what was probably more than an hour. I didn't cry, no I wouldn't cry; my Onii-sans taught me better then that.

I heard foot steps coming fast...and what sounded like crying.

My door slid open and Sasuke came running in, right onto my bed, holding me so close while crying into my night dress. Didn't think he'd be the type to cry did you?

"Onii, what happened?" This might have to do with those screams. I looked at his head buried in my lap. Even I've never seen him like this.

"Itachi...he killed e-everyone. Everyone but us!" He looked up at me crying harder; so scared which made me even more frightened. Ita-onii would never do that...

"Are you sure, Sasu...ke?" He got up from my lap and stared at me, like I've never seen him stare before. Like he was about to kill me. I just looked down and stayed quiet.

"He killed them and told me to kill him when I'm strong enough. Little sis, he killed them. I saw him with mama and dad on the floor. Akizu, we're all alone" He lifted my face up to his and hugged me. I looked into his un-perfected sharingan. He knew I was scared. More than scared; absolutely terrified.

"...Onii, can we stay in here together?" For some reason I wasn't that sad, and to this day I don't know why. Maybe in my heart I knew they weren't my parents.

He didn't speak. I think he felt betrayed that I didn't believe him. But he must have not felt too betrayed because he laid down under the sheets and held me to his chest before falling asleep. I whispered

"It'll be okay, Uke-onii"

I felt him hold me closer. It made me feel guilty. Now I would be a burden on him. Who wants a little sister to take care of when you barely nine yourself? I promised to myself that day that I would never ever get in the way of Sasuke-Onii, disabilities or not. And with that, my childhood ended. That moment I became an adult.

I woke up early the next morning to find Sasuke-Onii still sleeping beside me. I tried my hardest to get up without him waking so I could make him breakfast. I'd have to prove I didn't need help. I got my arm braces from the side of the bed and pushed myself to stand. What's wrong with me? Something like a paraplegic. I was born like this. I took my time walking to the kitchen no matter how hard or long it would take. I was determined. Taking my time 'walking' through the abandoned hall, I hoped that the massacre that Onii was talking about was cleaned up. I opened the front door, almost falling on my face. Some anbu were there and one was walking toward me.

"Hello young lady, I'm sorry to-"

"I know everything. Me and my Sasuke Onii will be fine here in this house" I bowed to him with my braces. I got used to this.

"So you have an older brother living here with you?" The anbu looked around me into the kitchen.

"He's still sleeping, I'm making breakfast" I gave him a smile, he nodded.

"Then you two should be fine here" he said and then took his leave.

I closed the door and sat at the kitchen table. Suckers; they didn't ask how old Sasuke was. Getting my dark brown hair into a pony tail at the side of my head. I put my arm braces back in place and got into the fridge to get some things. Beginning to cook leaning on the counter for balance, i heard my door slide open. 'Sasuke...' There he goes ruining my chance to show i don't need help. They don't let me do much around here in the first place. I tried cooking faster and was almost done with the rice before he walked in. I went over to the cabinet to get plates and cups.

"Akizu...What are you doing on your own?" He came over to me and helped me sit down. You could tell he was different.

"I'm cooking for Onii-san...I'm doing fine too!" i looked up at him and smiled. He shook his head and got everything on the table while i took my braces off and set the table.

"Akizu have you took your pills this morning?" Onii was always remembering things I couldn't.

"Don't worry I'll get them" I got up as fast as i could to get them.

I refuse to let him become my servant. 'Walking' back with the pills i glanced at Sasuke's face. It was sad almost as if it was pity. I didn't say anything, i mean our whole family just died. I ate in silence and Sasuke took my plate and cleaned everything.

"Uke-onii~ let's go and play outside" I got up and went back to my room to get changed. If anything he needed to get out of this place more then I did.

I got my sundress from the draw next to my bed and began to undress, we were too young to realize that I shouldn't be changing in front of him. Sasuke came in already dressed with my shoes. I got my sundress on but I couldn't put shoes on myself, it was very difficult to reach. This was one thing I'd have to rely on him for.

"Onii, I love you" He smiled at me as he went to pick me up and bring us outside.

There was a playground not too far away. Usually we practiced walking or sat on the swings. Sasuke put me down and held my hands as i walked slowly but surely. It was beautiful out, like nothing could go wrong, it almost made me forget our situation.

"Let's go in the water!" I walked a little faster laughing to myself at the fact I was dragging him.

There was a river next to the playground with little fishies. He let go of my hands as i sat with my legs in the cool water. I splashed my hands in and got Sasuke wet. He didn't like it you could tell but splashed me back before fixing my dress and legs that were being pushed with the water.

"Sasuke-Onii! i can do that myself!" He is always doing things like this to help me.

"You're my little sister, i'm supposed to do this" He gave me one of those loving small smiles that reminded me so much of Itachi...

By the time we got home both of us had muddy feet and were just plain old dirty from playing all day. We took a bath together like always. I think I was more of Sasuke's child then Mama's because he was always in charge of me. I used to wonder why.

I had my little pink towel around my body; ready to sit in the bath tub.

"Sasuke-Chan come on~!" I held onto the door frame and dragged him from the hallway into the bathroom. I give him a different name suffix every time I say his name; I know it's weird.

"Just checking the house. I was coming"

What does that mean? Maybe he thought someone would be in the house, I don't know.

"One day you'll be a really good ninja Sasuke, maybe even good enough to tell when people are here without looking!"

He picked me up and placed me in the tub, then sat on the other side in the warm water and bubbles.

"Trust me, I will Akizu" The look he had when he said that; it was far beyond his years and I didn't like it one bit.
