The sky was dark, it didn't seem as though morning had found it's way. Cloud's gathered above as they tried to break through the black. But they failed. Like every time this chapter began over and over.
This was the seventh school Sasuke had moved to this year alone. He wished he could say he enjoyed it - he didn't.

Most kids would be happy to get out of class and be constantly up heaving and moving around so's to never be in school. But Sasuke hated it.

I've always strived for the stability I once knew.

I've long since forgotten what stability feels like...?

Black bang's hung heavy with a cold water. It had been raining since dawn. His uniform was soaked even though it was his first time wearing it. And this walk, though it was new, was somehow familiar? It was almost like even though he'd never walked it, he knew how to adapt to change so much that it didn't seem so foreign.

He eventually found himself standing outside the gates of his new school. It wasn't anything special, it looked pretty much like the others.

It didn't matter anyway, in no time - he'd probably be moving again.

As Sasuke stood there, earlier than any other student, his eagerness to get away from home as quickly as possible made very obvious by his time of arrival. Other students began to appear, the nerds as the school would have them called, excited for summer break to be over. They slipped passed Sasuke uneasily clutching their books and adjusting their glasses so not to look at him - obviously creeped out.

Still Sasuke stood there, he never liked to be the first one in a room - if you waited and let the class fill up a little, you were able to slip in silently amongst the flock unnoticed, a little tactic he'd learnt through the changing of schools.

Just as Sasuke was finally ready to slip inside the gate, he was bumped forward into it by a blonde boy who's skin was sun kissed, even a little red with burns. He'd spent a lot of his summer vacation outside, playing sports probably, already Sasuke was evaluating him, picking him apart. Sasuke was too good at reading others because to him, everyone was the same.

"Uh, hey. Sorry 'bout that!" The blonde's voice was light hearted too, cheerful. When Sasuke didn't respond the blonde spoke again, "are you just... 'gunna stand there? you look kind of weird doing that... people might think you're a pervert."

Sasuke twitched at that comment. "Shut up!" He snapped, his eye's cold, black. They didn't reach the eye's of the blonde boy, but they came close. He shook the rain off his shoulder, soaking wet he stepped inside and away from him.

That's all he needed. Idiots.

As he stepped inside he noticed a lot of eye's on him, immediately they were picking up on a vibe from him, he could see it written all over their faces. They could tell he was bad new's and it made them uneasy. Good. He preferred it that way.
Another girl whispered. "Why is he so wet? Didn't his parents drop him off at school? There's a bus stop right outside the gates..."
"He's so weird but gorgeous.." Came a voice from a girl with strawberry pink hair.
Looking down at the boy in question she felt her face flush a little. A weird looking boy, raven black hair and many pendants and wristbands wrapped around his arms and neck. Alternative?
She wasn't sure what she thought... he had an oddly enticing persona and she couldn't solve it.
"Who is that anyway?" She whispered back at the group of people who were muttering about him.

He just wanted some peace and quiet, to fade into the background and be left alone quietly, to just get on with things. He was so sick of idiots and yet this school seemed full of them, great. He wouldn't last five minutes here would he? If they could just leave him alone... Maybe he'd have a better time here than any other school?
"You're all fucking stupid." He spat so blunt it shocked the class into silence, looking around at his new classmates as he made his way to an empty desk as they stared at him.
And just like that he'd somehow earned some sort of respect... or maybe people were just too creeped out or scared to question him because nobody said anything else as he sat down and threw his bag on the floor, his chin slamming the palm of his hand as he turned away from the people and stared at a crack on the wall, focusing all of his energy on it. Ugh.

And everyone did leave him alone for the most part, Sasuke almost survived the class but towards the end when the students were allowed to chat amongst themselves about their new weekly time tables for the semester, a familiar voice from before spoke to him, "hey...". Sasuke sensed who it was before the boy even said anything. "They were being kinda' rude... are you alright?" The blonde from before was leaning against Sasuke's desk and looking down at him with the biggest eyes Sasuke had ever seen in his life, they were so many different shades of blue, like an ocean...

Sasuke tried his best to ignore him at first, even when their eyes met for the first time. It wasn't easy. The blonde kept pressuring him and asking him if he was deaf, or if he could hear, and even if he was listening.
"What makes you think you've got a right to call them rude, after all wasn't it you who accused me of being perverted when you first walked passed me? Naruto flinched.
"I don't have time to deal with idiots like you...".

"I guess you're right... but I didn't say you were perverted, I just said it might look that way if you stand there staring into a school like that... kinda' weird..." Naruto spoke so sheepishly and rubbed the back of his neck. "You don't really know a thing about me to come in here and call me an idiot..." He frowned. "You're pretty stuck up. I'm only trying to be nice, stop being a dick." This blonde, he was very blunt. Honest, to the point. Something not a lot of people were. Interesting.

"What should we call you around here... princess or something? Get off your high horse... you're not even looking at me when I'm talking to you!" Naruto snapped, slamming his hands on Sasuke's desk, he hated rude brats like this! Who did he think he was?

"A pervert is someone who is older for a start..." Sasuke snapped. "But considering you're the expert I'm sure you already knew that, tch..." his gaze moved to Naruto's then and at last he stared him directly in the eye. "And since you're so smart you do realize you can't refer to a guy as a princess unless they are gay... and I'm not either of these things." Sasuke wouldn't normally indulge in such trivial banter but for reasons untold, he didn't like being called either of the thing's Naruto was calling him.

"You know, you shouldn't insult people so lightly, you have no idea who I am either..." The atmosphere in the room grew even more intense, even when everyone had left and they were the only two remaining. Sasuke stood up, his eye's stern as he closed them and smirked. "You have fun learning word definitions and I'll be going to my next class - see ya...".

Naruto wasn't known as a calm person, he was driven by any emotion he felt at that time and right now his annoyance was flickering to anger and he acted on that anger by grabbing the front of Sasuke's collar. "Stop treating me like an idiot, I know what word's mean and even if I didn't I'd still be smarter than you! Who do you even think you are? I've never seen you in this town before and we're a pretty damn closed community here!" He growled. "You just crawl out of a hole and start looking down your nose at me like some brat, I was only trying to be nice to you! How easy is it to just say hello back like a normal person?!" He gave Sasuke's collar a shake.

Sasuke's hand smacked against Naruto's wrist. "You are and idiot, and so is everyone else in this damn school..." He said arrogantly. "If I've worked that out after being here only an hour why can't you? His finger's tightened so hard that he watched with a smile as Naruto winced and his arm went white. "I didn't choose to come here, and I wouldn't choose to stay..." Sasuke said.
Somehow his words seemed like riddles and Naruto was buying them. The strain and hatred in Sasuke's eye's was apparent. Eye's that could kill.
Why wouldn't he let go? Stupid Naruto. Sasuke's grip was immense and he could see the circulation beginning to stop around Naruto's wrist as he refused to release Sasuke's shirt.
Sasuke suddenly came to his feet, they were level and his face was literally only inches away from Naruto and with an unexpected smack their foreheads collided with an almighty crack. He heard Naruto cry out in pain. A real cry of pain.

"That's what you get, see! - now get off of me!" Sasuke spat, slamming his forehead into Naruto's again, it must have hurt Sasuke too but he only chuckle dryly, sounding insane. The sound of bone crashing against bone through thin layers of skin. Skull shattering.

With a furious blow Sasuke used the rest of his strength and pushed his weight into Naruto, forcing him off and watching as the boy stumbled back, losing his balance. His ankle twisted and on his way down his head came into contact with the corner of the desk, making the impact a little hazy.

"If you play with fire, It'll BURN you." Sasuke said, fleeing the classroom just as quickly as he'd pushed him off.

And believe me you don't want me to burn you...

Naruto looked like he was about to get up but one of the teacher's who'd seen Sasuke run out strode in just in time to assist him as he was stumbling on his feet to chase after Sasuke.

"Naruto, wait just one minute you..." Naruto struggled in his teacher's grip, riled in anger. This wasn't just a teacher though - Iruka was his Dad. "Listen, he's already been transferred between seven school's, I've read his file and I shouldn't be telling you this for professional reason's of confidentiality. But that boy has been through an awful lot and I don't want you to be getting into squabbles with him."
Naruto calmed a little but growled in frustration at Iruka for stopping him. "Ngh..." He grabbed his head as a shooting pain spread through it.

Iruka had to quickly accompany Naruto to the nurse's office soon after their conversation so Naruto didn't get to talk anymore about it as he'd have liked; he was slightly concussed and a bump had rose to the size of a fist on his blonde head. As he sat in the office holding an ice pack to it he heard Iruka talking to the school nurse just outside the door.

"You're going to have to inform Sasuke Uchiha's guardian of his behavior today, I know what you're saying about his disruption in previous school's but Mr Uzumaki's injury to his head isn't light, the poor boy was seeing double for a moment in there. I know you have a soft spot for children Iruka, especially troubled children... that's why you took Naruto in after all. But we cannot play favorites and we have to be professional."
"I know but..." Iruka was cut off as Naruto appeared in the door way, ice pack in hand.
"I don't want anyone to get into trouble, we were just arguing, you don't need to tell his family." Naruto said firmly.
The nurse's eyes softened and she smiled hopelessly, most boy's in this school were such brutes but Naruto was soft. "I know sweetheart but it's the way the school board is run, we need to do our job's correctly."
"Yeah but..."
"Naruto" Iruka smiled fondly. "We'll talk more tonight at home, if you're feeling better you should head to Science."

With an exhale, Naruto closed his eyes and walked out of the nurse's office muttering 'sure' under his breath, obviously sulking. He hadn't wanted this to become a big thing... Now Sasuke would get into trouble and then they'd never get on. Great.

Sasuke's day had gone quite peacefully as it passed on. He was able to eat his lunch by himself and he wasn't disturbed by Naruto again. For a first day, he'd had worse.
As he walked himself into his last class of foreign languages he took a seat by the window.
Maybe it wasn't so bad here. Maybe he could control himself and he wouldn't be moved again. Just as he began to relax he saw a familiar face out the corner of his eye that filled him with annoyance. His head shot to the side as Naruto took a seat beside him.

"You don't know how to give it a rest do you." He snapped, edging away subconsciously in his seat. He had a bandage around his head. Sasuke realized that must have been his doing. Had it been that bad? Shit. How much control had he lost on the first day? Not good.

"Didn't I tell you before...get away from me... anyone would think you've got a thing for me?"

Some of the girl's laughed when over hearing that which in term made Naruto feel a little humiliated. But he didn't budge however.

"Just go away... or I'll add to that concussed head of yours." Sasuke was starting to think this first grade fool liked a good smack around the head.

Naruto looked Sasuke directly in the eye on purpose and held his gaze before he lifted his chin right up into the air and slid his arms behind his head, leaning back and relaxing into the chair. "Nope." He answered, his behavior was different. "I decided I'm not going to sink to your level again, if you want to be an ass to me... you sit there and be an ass to me. You're not going to make me into a fool just because I want to be your friend." He stared at the front of the class, not giving Sasuke a reaction.

"You're going to be my friend, you don't really have a choice, Sasuke."

Sasuke twitched. This front on him was not attractive. It was invasive and rude and it wasn't what he was used to. Normally, in fact, everytime people had got in his way - he found a way to get them to piss off in the end. Even the intrusive ones, whatever means necessary. Why did this boy think he was any different. He wasn't special. What a pain.

The only difference here was that he was the quickest to care about being his friend? Why was that?
"I don't have friends..." Sasuke told him. He stood up and moved passed Naruto, leaving the class as the teacher entered. "Sorry, I don't feel well..." He lied, excusing himself and spending the last part of the day pretending to be sick in the boy's toilet.

When the last bell of the day rang signalling the day had come to an end, Sasuke couldn't avoid the blonde even then. Despite the nasty bump on Naruto's forehead he still waved goodbye to Sasuke as they left the school gates. "See you tomorrow Sasuke! In English!" His wave was enthusiastic and his grin was bright and that marked the end of Sasuke's first day.

Sasuke delayed the journey home, making it longer, took back routes but there was no escaping it as he approached the modern, half size of a mansion house that used to belong to his parents - one of many. Even though he'd moved to many different school's his home had always been the same. It just meant he traveled ridiculously far from the richest part of the city.

He stared up at the large ornate black gates and entered the code to gain access on the keypad on the left hand side. Only those with the code could get inside. It was the way his brother avoided salesmen and those annoying people knocking for justification reasons. When you had money it was surprising how many people would come begging with a sob story of how they needed financial help. Being rich had it's downsides.

Sasuke sighed when pushing his key into the door.
At first it seemed empty and he let out a mumble filled with relief when placing his bag over the hook by the door where cloaks and coats hung.

Then he saw him.

"Welcome home..." came an eery voice from somewhere near by. Sasuke's body broke out in a chill of pimples as he searched frantically for his brother, scanning the all too spacious reception area of his home.

"Itachi?" He asked. His brother stepped out of the shadows then, phone in his hand with the sound of an expired phone call beeping from within it.

Itachi moved closer, slowly, ominously.

"I-Itach-..." Sasuke didn't finish his sentence. His body froze in place, shackles of fear overcame him and suddenly he couldn't find his voice.

"Do you like to cause me an inconvenience Sasuke? I was in a very important meeting at our Father's estate this morning when I got a phone call from the school nurse sharing her concern at your behavior for nearly knocking a student unconscious..." He trailed off on purpose, leaving the essence of fear hanging heavily in the air.

The next thing Sasuke felt was pain - Itachi smashed the phone down on top of Sasuke's head with so much force the phone itself shattered on his skull, the shock of it causing Sasuke to cripple to the floor with a loud scream of pain.

"Do you like to make everyday hard for your big brother who does everything for you? I chose to be your guardian Sasuke and you've been so ungrateful ever since..." He was speaking so calmly but the menace was strong in his onyx eyes, they glimmered with something sinister.

"When are you going to learn to behave in school, how many times do I have to teach you to just do as your told?" He crouched down right in front of Sasuke's face on the floor, a smile on his face - his eyes betrayed him. The smile was wrong. "Say you're sorry..." He grabbed his little brother's face and dug his nails in until Sasuke's face scrunched with pain. "I'm sorry big brother for being such an inconvenience and making your life more difficult than it has to be."

"I'm sorry...I didn't mean to cause you any problems, I'm so sorry, please - Itachi... I...-" He stuttered as he struggled beneath his heavy grip and winced as he felt his head spin. This must be what Naruto felt today. Something inside him screamed.

You deserve it.

An eye for an eye. This time it was full circle and he probably did deserve it.

Sasuke so desperately wanted to protest and fight his brother of him, but after years and years of this he knew where it would go if he didn't do what his brother was asking. He'd scream and beg how sorry he was if Itachi would stop. He could feel his skull pulsating. It ached so damn much. He felt his eye's sting behind his skull and wished for the force of the hand on him to soften a bit.

"I just... -I won't get into anymore fights... so please..." He didn't really want to change schools again if it could be helped. But at the same time he knew he couldn't control his anger. He felt so ashamed of himself. How was it he could be so cocky and bold at school but put in front of his brother he was completely useless, weak. He felt so superior to others, especially that Naruto kid but did he really have a right?

"Stop this..."

"That's right, you won't get into anymore fights." Itachi's fingers were cold as they crawled around Sasuke's throat and very slowly tightened until the force was bruising to his wind wipe. "If I get another phone call Sasuke or if you get expelled from this school... we'll have a repeat of last time..." His voice purred in Sasuke's ear as he strangled him, sitting on top of his little brother who was a lot smaller than him.
Sasuke knew what he meant - when he'd been expelled last time, Itachi had broken three of his ribs, his arm, beaten him black and blue, fucked him then locked him in the silver shed they had at the very end of their giant traditionally Japanese garden where Sasuke's pained cries were left unheard as he practically licked his own wounds.

Itachi felt Sasuke tremble beneath him at the memory, his ribs had long since healed but not in the right way and sometimes acted up, reminding Sasuke of what he could be in for.

Just when Sasuke couldn't breathe and was close to falling unconscious Itachi let go of his throat and sat back. "Come here Sasuke..." He beckoned with a flap of his hand. "Give your brother a kiss, show me how sorry you are."

Sasuke forced himself to his knee's, he had to force himself up. Had to do whatever Itachi wanted. He helplessly crawled towards his brother and climbed up onto his lap reluctantly. Trying not to look disgusted and let the fear that swam in the pit of his stomach show.

He bit back tear's and held his breath as his eyes pressed together tight and he lent forward - placing his lip's on his big brothers.
He always tasted cold, wet, and like cigarettes. He felt his brother's hand feed around the back of his head and it shocked him when teeth sunk into his lower lip, making it crunch. "N-ngh!" He cried, used to this though. Feeling blood run down over his chin. That was a lot harder than the last time. He could feel his lip swelling while water fell from the corner of his eyes.

Itachi enjoyed the coppery taste, especially his little brother's. He smirked against Sasuke's lip as blood gushed from the teeth marks on it, his tongue swiped over the wound and he made a groaning sound deep in his throat. "Good boy Sasuke..." He purred sadistically. Using his left hand he grabbed the front of Sasuke's head, clutching his bangs as he shoved him back off his lap and onto his back on the floor, a loud crack echoed their quiet mansion as Sasuke's head connected with the hard surface. "You've made such a mess all over the floor with your blood, little brother... whatever would Mother say." He tutted. "Nothing at all... because I killed her didn't I?" Itachi sneered, blood coating his teeth which he licked as he slid a hand down his smaller brother's body to his flies.
"You look so much like Mother, Sasuke..." He eyed him up like a piece of meat, like something he wanted to devour.

Sasuke knew this was wrong. Every inch of him was screaming out inside because of how wrong it was - and then... his mother. Why did Itachi have to mention her? Bring her up? Why.
Sasuke remembered her, he remember the day he walked home, flashes of Itachi standing, knife in hand, coated in blood, a massacre of bodies piled up one by one, Itachi the last one standing. He remembered her cooking...

Blood.

Planting flowers...

Blood.

Falling asleep on her lap by the fire...

Blood.

Washing his hair in a bath filled with bubbles...

so much blood.

"No!"

He didn't want to relive it.

He was panting heavily.

"She was your mother too Itachi..." Sasuke grunted. His fear pushed aside. He knew that if he said anything out of line he'd be the one to pay for it, but he couldn't just sit there while Itachi slandered his mother. She was beautiful. And it was because of Itachi that she wasn't here anymore... He'd never feel the love of his Mother's arms again.

"Isn't it enough that you killed mother and father, everyone, and yet you're still not satisfied, you have to slander them too, their memory... wh-why do you have to do this Itachi... what did we ever do to you?" His eyes were full of tears. That strong cocky little shit in school reduced to this.

A pathetic mess.

All of this suffering. What was it really for? He felt himself shutting down.

Why...

Itachi's scent made him feel physically sick. "I..." He'd vomit any second.
It was so hard to speak out at someone who was so good at shutting you down. At someone so vile, wrong.

"Please don't do this to me Itachi..." He threw his head to the side as a more enraged Itachi moved his head lower, ignoring Sasuke's whimpers and pleas, it only egged him on. Sasuke should know that by now but he couldn't stop trembling...

This never got easier.

Itachi placed one of his hands over Sasuke's mouth to silence his yells and still his head. "Because I'm your brother, Sasuke..." He purred in such a fucked up way, they were so broken. So wrong. "I do this because I love you. This is how much I love you." He smiled sickly as he slid his hand around Sasuke's young, still under-developed prick. He had started puberty a couple of years ago much to Itachi's delights and had a neat set of dark pubic hair at the base of his cock but he was yet to be fully grown.

Itachi's mouth filled with saliva at the feeling of his little brother's soft prick in his palm, he knew Sasuke would get hard, not because he wanted this but because he was a growing man yet to experience real sex, he had the urges, the feelings... and he knew Sasuke hated himself for how hard he got during all of this, Sasuke always willed it away but it never did and Itachi relished in it. Itachi was breaking his baby brother bit by bit as he did this... everytime.

"My, my little brother... how you've grown." Itachi purred as he pressed his nose into the soft skin of Sasuke cock. He liked to drag it out, fuck him up more, it was his game...

This was Sasuke's truth, his life.

"Please don't..." He protested, even though his body was betraying what his mind told him. Logically and physically this was sick and yet his body still reacted to the feather light touches and teases of his own flesh and blood.

This is your fucking brother, how fucked up are you? His mind screamed at him.

"Don't - I-Itachi...don't so this..." His eye's wept, he couldn't contain his fear... everytime this happened it scared him. He couldn't control it and he felt helpless every time..."

He couldn't even remember when the first time was that it had started, all he knew is that for a long while now his brother would 'punish' him when he'd done something wrong.

He felt a warm, wet organ brush over the tip of his under developed penis and he shuddered. His lower body wanted to arch up but he stopped himself and bit down on his own tongue.

Itachi's breath brushed over Sasuke's smaller cock as he scoffed. "Your little prick loves this Sasuke..." He purred as he flickered the tip of his tongue against Sasuke's salty slit. His other hand - which was very large in comparison to Sasuke's young organ - traveled to his behind and he pushed a finger inside his very abused anus, it was such a sharp, abrupt movement it made Sasuke yelp out in surprise.

"Shh, little brother..." He muttered in that monotone voice, biting into his cock to make him whimper. "If you're not quiet, I'll make this a lot worse for you..." To test Sasuke he slid another dry second finger inside him, followed by a third... because Sasuke was so young and tense because of his fear his arse would not expand and accept the intrusion making it hurt all the more.

But he couldn't cry out, he couldn't speak otherwise Itachi would...

Itachi's ponytail unwound from his hair allowing long, silky strands of dark hair to fall around his face like a curtain, his onyx eyes peered up at Sasuke as he gave a yank on Sasuke's foreskin to expose his tip and latched his mouth onto it.

There was something beautiful about Itachi... which made it all the more fucked up. What had happened to his big brother who he used to play games with in the garden?

Sasuke felt fear rise up into his throat. A untasteful bile seeped over his gums as he lurched up against painted saliva spreading over his tip. Why was this happening again? He hadn't really seriously hurt anyone at the school today, he knew he was wrong for getting in a tumble with Naruto but it wasn't half as bad as some of the other thing's he'd done in the past and been punished for less cruely.

It was almost as though now his brother had forgotten his morals.

Maybe he was stressed out at work. Probably.

"Big brother..." He spoke, using what he used to call Itachi as a child just maybe it would peek his buried conscience just maybe...

His cheek's filled with a rosy red as his brother's lips lapped the length of his poor little penis.

He wriggled uncomfortably, fighting the force of his wrists and his brother's eye's shot up at once, threatening him without speech - he stopped moving then. He couldn't even fight.

All thoughts were futile though, Sasuke knew that as well as Itachi did, especially when Sasuke was pushed further as Itachi violated him even more, sliding his cock inside his little brother he violated him again and again until Sasuke became a doll for his older brother to fuck...

Somewhere during the night, Sasuke closed his eyed to it, knowing there was nothing he could do...
