If you don't already know…I don't own Naruto or Death Note. Cries I WANT TO THOUGH!
Confessions of Konoha HighWhoever holds Death Note rules the Akai Yakuza-the most powerful gang in Japan! The last leader went mad and lost his book…and it finds its way into the hands of 2 brothers…
Neither one of them spoke. It was awkward…to Sasuke at least. Itachi never spoke. This was natural to the older Uchiha, but Sasuke didn't like it. At least it was better from what they were leaving behind.
Just because your family is rich doesn't mean you can't come from a broken home. Their mother Mikoto died when Sasuke was six from leukemia. Ever since then, their father Fugaku became depressed and began drinking. He would come home late at least once a week drunk and beat his two sons. Sasuke more so since he was not as 'perfect' as Itachi was.
Five years went by in this fashion, and it changed when Itachi ran away when he was sixteen. Then the following five years was almost unbearable for Sasuke…alone in a house with his father, getting beaten twice as hard for both him and in Itachi place with only the servants for comfort. Not that they could do much anything. Fugaku could bribe the police and fire any servant who stood in his way.
Then a week ago, Itachi called Sasuke and told him to pack one suitcase with his clothes and anything he doesn't want to leave behind. Sasuke did but nothing happened (Except now there was a confused Uchiha). Yesterday afternoon, while Fugaku was at his business (He owned a multi-million dollar company) Itachi returned for about five minutes and took Sasuke and his things. Together, the now sixteen year old and the twenty one year old left the house and their past behind forever. Since then, neither one has spoken more than three words to the other.
The silence was beginning to bother Sasuke. He didn't even know where he was going nor had he heard from his brother for these long five years. So you'd think they'd have plenty to talk about. Well, Uchihas have never been that much of talkers and it was clear that Itachi wouldn't be the first to say anything. In the end, it had to be the younger one to break the silence.
"Um…" Sasuke began. Itachi took his eyes off the road to look at his brother in the passengers seat. "Where have you been Aniki?" Itachi looked back at the road. Sasuke feared he wouldn't answer then they'd be back where they started-The Silent Stage.
However, "The city" escaped Itachi's lips without expression.
The Uchiha mansion was 5.5 million dollars worth and it was in the deep country where the company's 'hidden' headcounter was. Fugaku would leave on business almost every other day to some city in the world. But he'd be back by the time the week is over. If he were there all the time, his father would probably have killed Sasuke a long time ago.
"Which city?" Sasuke asked, not taking his eyes off his brother whose eyes in return were on the road.
"Tokyo."-Short and Simple!
"Is that where we're staying?"
"Yes."
Sasuke began to get irritated. "Come on! You've got to give me more than that!"
Itachi looked back at his brother, a little confused. "What more do you want me to say?"
"Well, you've been gone for five years! We haven't spoken to each other almost since you left, if you count the phone call you gave me a conversation. You could have asked if I wanted to leave or something!"
Itachi went back to his expressionless mask. "You mean…" he was silent for a moment. "Do you want to come with me or would you prefer we drive back home?"
Sasuke realized where the conversation had gone and didn't like it. "NO, NO! I want to come with you! I'd rather die than go back!"
"Then why did you just tell me to ask if you wanted to come or not?"
Sasuke sighed and looked down onto the car's floor, "No, you got it all wrong. That's not what I meant to say. I just missed you is all. I wanted to hear from you, but you never called…it was the first time you've spoken to me in five years…and we didn't say much. But I'm not upset to be here! I want to be here." He looked back up at Itachi, " It's good to see you again nii-san."
Itachi managed to crack a smile for his brother. Itachi did always have a soft spot for his ototou. "Good to see you again too. And I'm sorry I've been ignoring you. I didn't want you to get caught talking with me. Fugaku would probably have killed you if he found out. That's why I haven't spoken. I didn't want him to make your life worst than it already was." Itachi never called Fugaku his father. He called him by his name.
Sasuke didn't know what to say. It caught him off guard, that's for sure! Now he was at a loss for words. "Well," Itachi continued, "after I left, I went to our Aunt Kimona's for about 2 weeks. Deciding on where I planned to go and what to do. Being only sixteen and making my own way in a city was going to be pretty hard. But, I went there anyway. Aunt Kimona and Uncle Shigure gave me enough of money for a down payment on an apartment that I was sharing with two other guys.
"I started working for a…" he thought for a minute "a…a private organization. The pay was good and I was promoted a few months ago. So I was able to save up a lot of extra money and now, I have my own apartment in Shinagawa and I'm paying for my college there too."
"College and a job with a nice apartment in Shinagawa? Man Itachi! You seem to be doing well." Sasuke exclaimed. Itachi shrugged, "I'm doing okay. I'm not the richest by any means of the word, but I am comfortable. I wanted to get you out of that house earlier, but I decided to wait until I was secure in a good area. It did take a little longer than I wanted it to be. But there was really nothing I could do about that."
Sasuke thought for a minute, trying to understand what he said. Itachi always had a way of saying one thing but meaning another and all the while telling the truth. Even when he was younger, Sasuke had trouble trying to figure out the hidden meanings in Itachi's words. He was hiding something. Sasuke decided not to pursue it. Itachi won't reveal anything to him anyway.
"But what is your job that gives you such good pay?" Sasuke asked.
"Oh, didn't I tell you? I work for a private organization." He told him.
"Yes, you said that but what do you do?"
Now Itachi was getting annoyed that Sasuke wasn't getting his obvious hint. "I do a lot of things. It would be complicated and pointless to tell you about them." Sasuke began to protest but stopped when he saw Tokyo finally coming at him from the distance. "Whoa!" Sasuke said gaining him a smirk from Itachi. They never visited the city when they were younger. Their father went constantly but only on business. He only took their mother on those trips, but he never bothered with his sons. It was only natural for Itachi to want to go towards the city.
"I can't wait to see where we live!" Sasuke told Itachi, his eyes widened as they came closer to the tall buildings, shrines, and castles. Sasuke took it all in at once, wanting to see everything as quickly as possible.
"You'll get your fun when the day is done. You'll probably be here for a while, so don't move too fast or you'll pass everything."
"You're one to talk!" Sasuke joked.
"W-O-W!" Sasuke said as Itachi walked up from behind him. They had pulled into a spot in front of a huge building that looked like a five star hotel for celebrities, but it was their apartment complex. The outside was white stone with automatic doors. The inside was made of the most amazing sandy colored marble, which even went up the columns. There were two elevators made of a mirror like gold that was so even that it almost looked like real gold. 'Maybe it is!' Sasuke thought. It wouldn't surprise him to be honest. In between the two elevators, was a giant mahogany desk and dead in the center of the wood was a large golden plague that had the word 'Security' engraved deeply on it. There was a very intimidating person sitting at the desk. Sasuke saw security people in movies before. They were lazy, fat, and/or old men. But this person wasn't any of the above.
He was actually a she. She was tall and thin, but it was obvious that she was strong and not the type of person you'd want to get into a fight with. Her hair was short like Sasuke's. It was tied back into one big dark violet spike and she wore a long tan coat. She sat on top of the desk with her hands on the wood and her legs crossed.
"Well, Well, Well. What have we here?" She said in a cool voice, her eyes like liquid metal moving over Sasuke like he was the new prize of the hour. Itachi remained calm and didn't really pay mind to her, so Sasuke tried to do the same.
"Who is he Itachi?" she asked him directly as he approached one of the elevators. He pushed to up button before looking back at her.
"He is my little brother Sasuke, so Anko keep your hands off of him. He is not for your games." He thought for a minute, "And he's moving in with me, so allow him up from now on." At this time, the elevator door opened and Itachi walked in closely followed by Sasuke.
"You never let me have any fun Itachi!" Anko yelled after him. "Nice to meet you Sasuke!" she was able to say before the elevator doors closed. Sasuke looked over at Itachi. "She seemed nice."
Itachi sighed, "She's…interesting. She flirts with everyone if they are male and doesn't give the time of day to any girls. Don't think too much of her. She isn't really serious if she does flirt with you. She does that cause she thinks it's 'fun'." Itachi explained.
"You really live in a nice place. Seriously! Wait! What floor do we live on?"
"The ninth. Which reminds me…
"Sasuke, we'll get you settled in tomorrow. Maybe get you some more clothes and furniture to your liking. But then I have to go back to work and you need to go to school."
"School?!" Being rich they've been home-schooled.
Itachi nodded, "I've enrolled you into Konoha High. It's not too far from here, so you shouldn't get lost. I mean did you expect me to teach you like we were at home? I have college and a job, remember." Sasuke still frowned. He never went to school before, let alone in a big city. But I guess there was no choice.
"Konoha High, right?" Sasuke asked for a confirmation. Itachi smirked and nodded. 'This may get interesting…'
