Yo! I'm Stilldisturbed, a new writer. I've been on Fanfiction for a while now and decided to start writing my own story. This story is mainly about Sasuke's life before the massacre. When he meets Sakura, Itachi and Sasuke's parents are still alive, ect. I plain on keeping this story going for a while. So without further ado here is "The Begining of Something"
"Come on little brother. It's your first day at the Academy!" My brother, Itachi, said as he pulled my warm covers off me.
"But Itachi…" I wined. I really didn't feel like being a ninja anymore. I just want to stay in bed all day.
"No buts," My mother came to the door. "You want to be as strong as your brother, right?" that got me up. Ever since I heard about all the amazing things Itachi can do, I always wanted to do the same. I jumped right out of bed and ran to get ready.
"I'm getting in the shower, Mom!" I called to my loving mom. I turned the water on, to the perfect temperature. Then undressed, slowly got in to the boiling water and relaxed my body. As I wash, my mind started to wonder. Today would be my first day in the same ninja academy as Itachi. New people I would have to get to know, new instructors, new scrolls and codes to learn. Down stairs I heard brother arguing with father again.
"I'm going to my meeting, now," Itachi announced.
"You know what to do, right?" My father was addressed Itachi.
"Yes."
"You know not to say anything that can harm this clan, right?"
"Yes."
"Good. Now go, you don't want to be late," To others it may just seem like a simple conversation between a father and his son, but it was different. Father doesn't trust Itachi at all. Itachi knows this so he answers father's questions with what father wants to hear. I always feel tense when I'm in a room alone with them. Sooner or later I'm sent to my room or mother takes me away. It's like they want the other to stop existing…. Although I'm not close to my father I still love him, in a way, and Itachi may seem strange and cold I love him, too. I heard the door close; I guess Itachi left. I let out a long sigh and got out of the shower. I hurried to get dried and dressed. Now I was anxious to meet my new class mates. I raced down stairs; mother had all of my things packed. I took them and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Good luck! Sasuke-kun!" she smiled.
"Bye, Mother!" I ran out the door off to my waiting future. The school was just a few blocks away so it didn't take long. Many students like me were entering the building. I ran in there and took a seat, while others flocked around the room, making friends. It wasn't that I was anti-social or something, I just didn't no how to start a discussion. Out of the corner of my eye I saw many girls whispering and staring at me. I kind of felt uncomfortable with them watching my every move. One girl that wasn't part of the pack of hungry lions came up to me. She was very different. Her hair was a soft petal-like pink; her eyes were a stunning grassy-green. She was the vision of spring –– my favorite time of year ––. I've never seen her around the village before…was she new?
"Excuse me? But is this seat taken?" Her voice came out as a sweet bell, as she gestured to the empty seat beside me.
"Hum… not at the current moment," Gosh! Did I have to sound like a nerd!
"Can I sit here?" This cute petal wanted to sit beside me!?!
"Oh…hum…of course…," Darn it, why was I so jumpy?
"Thank you. It seems that no one else accepts me," her smile stunned me.
"And why would that be? You're a pretty girl," her blush was a wonderful shade.
"Well, I guess because my friend here won't back off," she pointed to her forehead.
"I don't see anything wrong with your forehead…," I truly didn't understand what was so wrong. Suddenly a girl with dark hair popped out of no where.
"Are you kindin' me? That thing is huge!" The girl unexpectedly stared to point and laugh at the girl beside me.
"Please stop…" sobbing plea came from the nice girl.
"It's okay," I tried to help her. "Your forehead isn't big at all," I tried to help her.
"Oh, pe-sha. You could see that from Suna." The annoying girl spoke again.
"Can you please leave us alone?" I wasn't usually stern, but this girl was irritating.
"Kuh, whatever…," finally she walked back to the group of hungry lions. I let out a sigh. About time she left. I turned back to the pink haired girl.
"I don't recall giving you my name," she looked back to me. "I'm Sasuke Uchiha, you are…."
"Sakura Haruno," wow her name was perfect "Spring Cherry Blossom" I liked that.
"I really like your name," She looked away, again and murmured her appreciation.
"So…," I tried to start a conversation. "Are you new to Konoha?"
"Oh, no. I was born here. It's my home," she beamed proud of our country.
"Same here, I'm part of the all mighty Uchiha clan!" My clan was so amazing…
"Oh, well that's awesome. Can you use the Sharingan?" her eyes were wide with excitement.
"Sadly, I'm not strong enough, yet," Now I wish brother had taught me that amazing jutsu. I really wanted to show is girl, Sakura, how strong I am.
"Oh, well when you do, can you show me how it works?!?" She really wanted to know about my clan.
"Sure."
We kept asking questions back-and-forth about each other. I learned that she is an only child, wants to be a medic-ninja, and she loves to read. She was very intelligent, when class started and Iruka-sensei gave out instructions she finish the worksheet with in five minutes. At the end of the day, Itachi picked me up from school. Before I left I said my goodbye to Sakura which earned me a blush and a wave.
"Come on Sasuke, its almost dusk," I heard Itachi call.
"Coming!" I ran tours him.
"Did you make any friends today?" Itachi winked.
"Yeah! She is so nice and sweet and cute and smart and and" I could have gone on for hours talking about her. Itachi had a big grin on his face.
"Awe…Sasuke-kun has a girlfriend," Itachi teased me.
"Just don't tell dad, okay?" I didn't want my father to find out I had a weak spot for a girl.
As we made our way home I told Itachi everything I learned about her.
"Did you learn anything else that doesn't have to deal with this Sakura person?" Itachi was teasing again.
"Yes, and Sakura isn't just any person. She is…well…very smart, and if I need tutoring she can help," I said with a smile.
"I guess you found a good one." Itachi finished as we reached home. I ran inside hoping to find Mother; she was in the kithen.
"Mom, you won't believe who I ment today!" I yelled, I think I scared her a little.
"And who would that be, son?" Mother picked me up.
"Her name is Sakura Haruno! She's so awesome!" I couldn't help but brag about my new friend.
"Oh, your friend's a girl, huh?" Mother winked at me as Itachi walked in.
"Yeah, I think our Sasuke-kun has a crush," A tint of red can to my cheeks. Itachi was still teasing me and I was getting sick of it.
"Now, now Itachi. I still remember Rini from your second year," Mother was off in her own world again, probably thinking about Itachi's first crush.
"Mother, that was a long time ago," And he walked out of the room. I spent the whole time with mother, telling her about Sakura and everything about her.
"Oh, Mom please don't say anything to father. I don't him to think I'm weak," I begged her.
"Of course, Sasuke-kun, now go on I have to make dinner, unless you want to help?" Mother had that anime twinkle in her eye.
"Actually I have some home work to do. Um… I'll be going…now," I hurried to my room. Once inside, I pulled out my binder from my bag, and started. The homework was something about "The Way of the Shinobi: How to keep Your Emotion in Check", or something like that. I'm sure Sakura had already finished this hours ago and memorized every detail. I just didn't understand it. Sure I knew that emotions can get the better of any shinobi in battle, but what was all of this:
"The mission itself is more important then any life of a shinobi," I read out loud. "All shinobi's must never show any sign of remorse or restraint." What was that suppose to mean, I was to kill anyone and everyone with a straight face? That's impossible, horrible, even. Were all shinobi's just killing machines made by the Konoha elders? Could Itachi, my brother, kill with no emotion? It was so frightening to even think that my loving brother would kill someone with no self-discipline. Would he not feel the guilt afterwards? What if brother did this all the time…yet he can still smile? It was just plain creepy. But what about Sakura, she is so small and she wouldn't be able to defend herself against enemy ninja. If she got hurt who would save her? Then it hit me! I will save Sakura no matter what happens to me. Always, even if she doesn't want me to. I'll save her from anything, bullies, enemy shinobi, even a falling acorn. I nodded to myself and put my books away. Tomorrow will be my first day on watch. I got changed for bed and fell asleep think about my new best friend.
