Hate me...
Those two words casted me down this dark abyss. I knew it was only just a matter of time before they recognized me for who I am. Friends, family, the clan, it ment nothing to me. I was willing to let them all go. So I thought... Everyone but my little brother. The one person I couldn't bare to loss. The thought of him knowing the truth killed me. As long as I could I tried to not let him see the man behind the mask. Even if my heart ended up in pieces, as long as he was safe.
Eight Years Ago
"Itachi!" Sasuke yelled obviously looking for me. "Over here Sasuke." I knew he would know the truth soon after tonight but I couldn't bring myself to shove him away now. I wanted him to keep thinking I was the awesome older brother who was always looking out for him. " Itachi! What's wrong?" Sasuke asked after lunging himself towards me and hanging off me with his arms around my neck. "Stuff that your too young to know." I answered him knowing full well the hissy fit I was throwing myself into.
"Ahh you always do that. It's always your to young Sasuke or your to small Sasuke. Can't you just tell me for once!" Sasuke whined out which was amusing to watch. "Alright Sasuke. I have to do something bad soon. And once I do there's going to be no good left in me." I said. "You can be good. I know because I'm your baby brother and if I say so there for it is." Sasuke said hands on his hips like he knows all. 'You know I wish I could Sasuke.' I thought as I hugged him. "Thank you Sasuke."
Unfortunately somethings can't change... That night came no matter how long I stayed with Sasuke, playing the older brother role. I finally realized I'm the kind of man who can't be tamed that day. Which is probably why I find myself in all the wrong places. That night was my wake up call. It was time that I faced this. I killed everyone, left Sasuke alive and mad him hate me even through it killed me to do so. Sasuke... you told me I could be good... so I;m keeping my word by pushing you away.
At least that's what I told myself. Along with I love him enough to let him go...
So go ahead and hate me...
