Bad Birthday

Summary: Onii-sama said he would be back today. He said he would be back just in time for my birthday party, but... He doesn't seem to be here. "Okaa-san, where's Obi-nii?" "Gomenasai, Itachi-kun, Obito-kun... Obito-kun is gone."

Disclaimer: I own nothing, except my twisted reason Itachi killed the Uchiha Clan, this being it.

"Ne, Obi-nii?"

"Hai, otouto?"

"You'll be back in time for my birthday party, right? Right, Obito-nii-sama?"

"Eh? Course, Itachi-kun!"

That's what you told me, Onii-sama. You told me that I was your favorite cousin and that you'd never miss a single one of my birthday parties until the day you die. But, alas, you wouldn't die, would you? No, of course not. You're my Obito-nii-sama. You can't die.

"Now, now, Itachi-kun! Obito isn't immortal!"

"I-I know, Rin-nee-chan... But... Obito-nii-sama promised."

"Ah, but Ita-kun, we can't keep all promises!"

Rin-nee-chan has always been right. We can't keep all promises.

After all, we're only mortal, right?

But we should atleast try to keep promises. Just like this promise that Obi-nii is keeping. He'll be here. He's just a little bit late. Oh, silly me! Obito-nii-sama is always late! Always! He'll be here!

"S-Sugoi! Otouto! How'd you get so good with Katon before me?!"

Silly. You're better then me. You've always been better then me. After all, you have to be better. You're my role model and role models have to have a good influence on their admirers. Right? Right!

But, I can't help but feel that you're not coming...

"Ha! We'll be back soon, Otouto and i'll tell you all about our mission!"

"Sugoi! ...Promise?"

"Yosh! Pinky swear, otouto!"

Ne, ne, Obi-nii!? Where are you? Hurry up! I'm waiting for you, here! At the party! I'm waiting for you to get here and tell me all about that mission you went on.

"He's foolish."

"Hm, Otou-sama? Who?"

"That failure. Obito."

"E-Eh? Please don't call Obi-nii that, otou-sama!"

"Disgusting."

Tou-sama always acts that way, so you don't have to worry! I'll be here! It's my birthday! You don't have to worry about that mean old dooky head, ya know, Obi-nii?

...Obi-nii...?

"A-Ah! O-obii-nii! You never told me you could cook this good!"

"Well, eh, I guess I never thought about it."

"Eh!? Nande, Obii-nii? This hot chocolate is delicious!"

The party's almost over. And your not here yet.

Wait! There's a knock at the door. I'm rushing over now, Obii-nii! Be patient!

But... why is Okaa-san at the door?

And... More importantly, why is she crying...?

"Okaa-san?"

"Okaa-san, what do you think of Obii-nii?"

"He's a briliant young man. He aspires to be Hokage and, personally, I think he'll get there one day!"

"Itachi-kun...?"

Tears are streaming down my kaa-san's face. I don't get it. Why is okaa-san crying?

"Okaa-san, where's Obii-nii?"

"I like your goggles, Obii-nii."

"Huh? Really?"

"Gomenasai, Itachi-kun."

What is this?

"Obito-kun..."

"Who're they, Obii-nii?"

"Oh, otouto! That's my team!"

"Ew. The masked man looks mean!"

"Obito-kun is gone."

That's the night my whole world came crashing down.

...

"Ya know, Itachi-kun..."

"I know what, Obii-nii?"

"This clan's horrible."

"A-ano... Otou-sama says it is the best. Otou-sama is wrong?"

"Hai. Onii-sama thinks we're special."

"But we have the Sharingan!"

"Yes, but it'll also be the destruction of us. Or..."

"Or?"

"Or I will be."
