Running Away

Discliamer: I do not own Harry Potter, nor do I own Naruto. I am just a fan who enjoys screwing with parallel universes. This fic is also a co-op with Shinigami Seniade. Also, this contains many spoilers of the Manga, and theories that I have of what really happened in Itachi's life. This is also an alternate universe where Itachi ran away instead of following the orders himself.

Warning: This story contains yaoi, but the characters are bisexual. This includes lemons…

Chapter 1: Running

Itachi Uchiha had just witnessed his best friend Shisui Uchiha killed at the hands of one of the most respected of the village; the village elder Danzo. He was forced to watch in order to gain a technique called the Mangekyo Sharingan. The origin of this technique was thought to be killing the person you are most close to. However you can gain it by witnessing them being killed as well.

"Now that I have done this Itachi," Danzo said as Itachi knelt on the ground mourning his friend. "You must take the responsibility on yourself. Your father will bring down this village but I will not let that happen. The only way to truly stop the revolt is for you to destroy your entire clan." he said extracting Shisui's eye to replace into his own later on.

"You must run away and be known as a murderer. I am going to make the Hokage understand that this is the only way and you will have no choice. Right now you are showing me weakness, but if you pick yourself up and take it like a man I will consider you strong. Forget all your pride for the great Uchiha Clan. You are all hot-tempered and cursed. That is why you are of good use to me. You don't have those qualities. You want 'peace.' Well if you really want peace then you will follow the orders you will eventually be given." He finished as he walked away after using a sharingan he gained before to write a fake suicide note and kicking Shisui's corpse into the river.

Itachi couldn't move. He knelt in the place where his friend was killed. Why would he be asked to kill his entire clan? Even his little brother Sasuke? How could he kill him? He loved him more than anything! He was the only reason he was living! He was the only reason he stayed in the ANBU after learning that he was dying of a disease that would eventually kill him. The doctors insisted on his early retirement, but Itachi wanted to make his little brother proud of him. Even if they were to become rivals!

Now Itachi had a decision to make; run away so he would never be given an order risking the clan being destroyed anyway, or go home and await this horrible fate for himself. He hated being a coward, but he didn't want to see his clan suffer at his own hand. After groveling at the ground for about an hour debating on what to do, he finally made a decision. If he ran, then his father would have no choice but to get someone else to be his spy. Itachi wouldn't be given that responsibility any longer. He didn't care if he was known as the man who killed Shisui.

Itachi didn't care if he was thought of as a coward. He didn't want to be there any longer. He ran. He ran away from Konoha, his home. He ran away from his overworking father and loving mother. He ran away from his beloved brother. He ran away from his girlfriend whom he wanted to propose to. For hours it seemed, that he was running far, far away from Konohagure, from the Fire Country.

After what it felt like hours of running, Itachi found himself in a strange place. It was full of buildings and streets. Soon it started raining. The broken, hungry Uchiha found a vacant corner and just sat there. He knew it was bad for his sickness, but at this point he didn't care. He didn't care what happened to him. He was filled with so much grief he didn't know what to do anymore. He sat there holding his legs and crying.
