Oh... My... God. My first M rated story! Ggggggyyyyaaaaahhhhh! I don't even know if I can do this. I hope this turns out okay.

When I was little, I didn't know what love was. I knew what it meant, I knew that I loved my family, I knew I loved my friends but I didn't know what 'love' was. The love you would have for someone special, the special person you would soon dedicate your life to. I was surrounded by it almost every single day. All around me there were girls in my school who said they had a crush on me. Which I guessed was the equivalent to love. But I just couldn't comprehend it. That feeling that you get when you actually love someone, I didn't know how it felt and so, I couldn't understand it.

Aniki had explained it to me once before and I remember vividly. He said that love was indescribable. That you would instantly know if you're in love or not. It was when your heart started beating rapidly when you see that person, when you almost always would want to see them. Love was when you'd do anything to see that person happy. You were always happy with them and worried whenever they are away. Usually boys and girls would fall in love with each other, get married, have children, and then the children would repeat the process all over again.

'You just have to wait, Sasuke. Wait for that one special person to come into your life. And then once you meet them, you'll automatically know.'

That was what Aniki told me. And I believed him because at that time, I was only five. I believed everything he ever said to me. He was my precious Aniki who would always look after me and protect me. I admired him greatly. He was everything to me. True, I loved my father and mother but... I loved Aniki more.

He was always there for me. He would smile and poke me in the forehead whenever I did something childish or stupid. He would help me train and play with me when I was bored. He gave me so much of his attention. I wanted that attention. I wanted to be that one person he would smile to. I was little... and selfish. Whenever he was busy with some mission, I would always pout and sulk. I didn't have his attention. I wanted to be with him every single minute of the day. When he was with someone else, I was jealous.

When I was with him, I could feel my heart beating so fast like it was about to explode. I could feel happiness soaring throughout my whole body. I wanted to impress him and make him smile. I wanted to see him happy too. I always thought about him whenever he was away on missions. In fact, there was not a single day when I didn't think about him.

And at that time, I wondered... Was this love?

I like the title. It was taken from Higurashi. This story has some dark themes to it, kinda depressing and scary. I know, it starts off so innocent.

Anyways, spare some reviews? Reviews make me happy.
