Author Notes

Hi all! Its Kise Masaki-san again! I hoped you had a great Christmas and new years and stuff. Yeah I'm ptobably early on saying this stuff. Oh well right? Well I've been inspired to write another story. Over the past few days, I've browse the storys on Fanfiction and I really didn't see many Itachi and Sasuke stories. Thats a shame right?! I know. I picked up on this really good story about the paring and it inspired me to write one of my own. It might suck because I've never really wrote a story about this paring. I have done role plays with them though which is good because I can do my story based on it. Yeah, I'm making a series. Whoop! My first one! Yeah! I might make a Sasuke and Naruto series too. Who knows what I might do. Oh well, I'm going to shut up now because you guys are probably wondering if I would ever shut up and start the story. Well I am! I hope you enjoy my first chapter and many more to come. Bye!

Oh I should tell you that I might write in first person. Its kind of much easier. Thats what I've notice so far. I might switch Pov though. If I do, then I'll tell you whoes Pov it is. Look out for this signs.

Chapter 1: The Dream

"Hey brother, can you help me with my kunai throwing today?"

"Ask Dad."

"But...Why? Everyone know you throw kunai's the best. Please."

"Come here ."(1)

I walked towards him with curious eyes. He slowly lift his hand as I walked forward. As I stood infront of him, he pressed his fingers to my forehead like he always do when he can't do something with me. As always, he'll say that line to me which isn't true.

"Forgive me, . Another time."

There. He said those words as if he's going to do anything with me. He makes that fucking statement then pokes me in the head with his fingers. Why must he treat me this way. Why must he go and become that brother I don't love. Why must he leave me alone to take care of myself. "Brother, don't go." Those are the words I wanted to speak to him that day. The day my world came crashing down.

I already lost you to the darkness. You let it take you away from me. Maybe becausee I was jealous of you. I feared being around you. You were always better than me. Everyone knew you exist. You were perfect. How should I be able to be around you? Me...the inperfect son. The, 'Follow after your brother' son. I hated that no one knew of my existence. No one cared about me. I was in the way. But...You cared. You use to care right? When father didn't come to see me when I was to enter in the Academy, you came. You carried me when my ankle was hurt. You cared! So why...Why did you push me away like I was nothing. Why brother...Why didn't you let me in that cold hard heart of yours. Its all I ever wanted from you. All I ever needed...Was You...

"As expected from my son."

Dad use to say that to you. He used to be so happy around you. He'd ignore me for you. You were his favorite. Maybe because you were worth something. Far more valuable then I could ever be. He never even said anything to me hardly. I never got a "As expected from my son." until that little incident that happened. That's when you started to change. Your eyes stared back at me as if you were slowly losing the brother I loved. Your eyes could have killed me that day. Hell, they probably did. I felt so…alone. You wouldn't talk to me or fake emotions towards me. It was like you didn't care. You probably never cared anyway right brother?

Dad. You treated me much better when you and brother wouldn't talk. You finally acknowledged me. You even taught me the 'Katon no Jutsu'. The first time I tried it, it didn't exactly look like fire…More like a fail attempt from a baby dragon. That's why I had to practice. I had to get that attention and praise. I wanted you to love me. It seem no one did in this family. The only one that did hates me now. As I finally master the Katon and showed it to you, I watched as the words came from that mouth of yours.

"As expected from my son."

Those words. Those words I need. They were said. They were heard in my heart. Oh god, thank you. Even if you didn't love me Dad, I felt somewhat loved by you. I felt…wanted now. I smiled at you for a while. I was happy. I finally existed in your eyes. I was a value to you. Something worthy of hearing those words. Maybe I was finally catching up to you brother. Maybe I-…

"And don't follow after your brother."

What? I though you wanted me to be like him Father. I thought everyone did. What's with the change of heart? Could you still be that angry at brother for what he did? Or was there something else? Was I your replacement for him? Answer me Dad! Tell me the truth…You just replaced him with me. I wasn't special or nothing. I was…his replacement. Why must I live like this?

"Aniki! Father! Mother, where are you?!"

"Don't come in here ."

"Don't open those doors. You're not ready to see the truth. You're not ready to become me."(2)

My voice. Inside my head. It spoke. It spoke to me. Told me not to go. Told me to not open the door. I should have listened. I should have turned and became the coward that my body wanted me to become. So why didn't I? Why did I open those doors and see the object of me being alive dead on the ground.

"Mother! Father! Where's…Aniki…"

My voice slowly came to a whisper. I saw the one I wanted attention from…hovering over our parents. Those eyes. So cold and deathly. If looks could kill, I would have died. You stood there, watching me. No words came out your mouth. You just stared back at me with those red eyes. Much more different…They were the same eyes that stared back at me when the incident happened. I wanted to scream…To shout. Why brother?!

"Why brother?!"

I blinked as I sought up on my bed. I was covered in sweat. So much my bangs started to stick to my forehead. I was panting hard with sweat dripping from my chin. It was always like this. I would have a dream so...so real about the past. Then wake up in sweat and having to catch my breath. Damn it! I don't like that Itachi have this control over me...even when I'm sleeping. This time the dream felt so real. I had to blink and shake my head until I was sure that it was just a dream. When I did, I laid back down on my bed and fell back to sleep. While I was sleeping, I didn't notice the red eyes that was watching me...

"It was just...a dream...just a dream..."

1. The space is where Sasuke's name would be said. You probably already knew that.

2. This wasn't said by anyone. It was the inner Sasuke saying this so don't be confuse and think someone was saying that. It was just Sasuke's little voice in his head if you want to look at it that way.

Well thats the end of Chapter one. It kind of sucked because I wrote it off the top of my head. I write all my stories off the top of my head now. Its much easier for me. Well please review and stuff. I really will be grateful for your reviews! Bye!
