Chapter: 1 (Beginning)
A small raven haired boy swung himself on a swing set bored out of his mind, letting his head fall back as he swung back and forth, the wind blowing through his spiky black hair, he was grumbling quietly, starring at the blue sky sadly as he remembered his father hitting him violently.
He could still feel his side pulsing painfully, but he knew he deserved it, he'd been playing on the playground in the backyard while he was supposed to be practicing his tennis lessons, but he'd gotten fed up with his pushy instructor and had marched off.
Sighing he sat up right, stopping himself by un-bending his feet and digging them into the bark beneath his feet.
Jumping off, he headed back inside, limping ever so slightly, but not enough for anyone to really notice.
When he got inside he saw his mother ordering people around, telling them where to set certain things and other decorations, it was Itachi's 11th birthday, and being Uchiha's, it was necessary to throw a big party.
"Mother?" He asked, tugging at the long haired woman's skirt, she looked down at him and smiled sweetly at him, crouching down to get a better angle of him.
"Yes sweetheart?" She asked lovingly, her dark onyx eyes identical to those of her sons, "Do you need anything? The party will start soon; you need to get changed into your tux."
"Do you think Itachi will like my present?" He asked, biting his bottom lip adorably, while he starred at his mother, who smiled, kissing his forehead.
"Of course, you know how he is, he'll love anything you give him, now run up stairs and get changed, and I left you tux in the bathroom so you can get changed after you shower, okay?" She patted his bottom like a mother would, and sent him off, going back to arranging the party.
Sasuke sighed, and walked up the stairs slowly, trying not to put too much weight on his foot, walking down the long hallway towards his room.
When he arrived to it, he opened the door quickly, rushing in and sitting down on his bed gratefully, he brought his leg up and inspected it, pulling up his pant leg to see that his ankle was completely swollen, he felt tears prick at the ends of his eyes but held them back, shaking his head before limping to his bathroom, when he arrived to the shower he took of his clothes but kept his boxers on, throwing his discarded garments into the hamper and turned on the shower, but her stopped and stood still when he faced the mirror.
He lifted a hand and pressed it gently over his horribly bruised side, it reached all around the left side of his rib cage, and was an ugly bluish purple, he then moved onto his collarbone, it was horribly marked there too, gulping past the lump in his throat, he looked at himself, feeling tears begin to stream down his cheeks, he sniffed as his small body trembled all over, he sat down and sobbed into his arms, resting them against his knees as he cried, rocking himself back and forth.
He truly did love his father but there were times when he wished somebody would notice the way he limped, or bother to try and figure out that he was lying about the unexplainable bruises he would often receive on his face, not even Itachi realized, his brother who knew him inside and out or his mother who was supposed to protect him, he just wished that his father would stop, that someone would take him away from his father...but no matter how many times he wished, his wishes never came true.
"Itachi!? This your room..."
Sasuke froze instantly, turning around and coming face to face with a blonde haired kid, he looked around the age of Itachi so he automatically knew he was probably one of his onii-san friends, and he could swear his heart skipped a beat,
"Wow...are you alright!? Those look pretty bad..." He stepped towards the nine year old feeling pity, stopping when the raven backed away in fright, starring up at him through the same onyx colored eyes that Itachi had.
"Hey, hey, its okay, I'm not going to hurt you." The blonde whispered, kneeling beside the bare boy, resting his hand gently on the small shoulder, he starred at the pale face with tears streaming down his face, surprisingly even with the tears he was still beautiful, so much like Itachi yet so different, he automatically knew this was Itachi's brother, the guy never shut up about how cute and precious his ototou was, how would he not?
"Who did this to you?" He asked, starring down at the horrible bruises marring the boy's skin, and the scars...some were old but others looked fresh.
Sasuke shook his head, shutting his eyes tightly, "Please, please don't tell anyone, father will get angrier, please don't tell..." He cried, trembling.
The blonde sighed, he didn't even know the boy but he already felt his heart twinge and an automatic need to protect him from everyone and everything.
He held the boy against his chest, and let him cry, waiting until the younger calmed down, he'd begun to doze off but he was instantly awake when he realized the boy had stopped crying and was staring up at him with a frown.
"W-who are you?"
He smiled down at the raven foxily, "Naruto Uzumaki, you must be Sasuke, right?" He asked, grinning.
Sasuke nodded, pulling away and sitting on his bum, leg crossed and held up against his bruised chest.
Naruto's smile faltered as he starred at the large dark bruises on the pale body, they contrasted against his skin boldly, probably because his skin was so white.
"So, do you need any help?"
Sasuke frowned, starring up at the raven, "No, I have to get ready for the party; Aniki's room is across the hall in case you were wondering."
"Oh! Ya, well...see you at the party." He smiled sheepishly, not really wanting to leave the boy alone but he shook his head, exiting the large bathroom reluctantly.
The little raven starred at the blonde as he left, starring at the door as it closed...what was he going to do? Someone had found out...he was praying the blonde wouldn't tell anyone, especially Itachi, he knew his brother well enough by now and although he was only 11 he had a violent streak, he'd even been taken to therapy for it, it usually only ever happened when Sasuke was being bullied or mistreated, it was frightening really, the slightest bad thing done to his brother and he would completely lose it.
Gulping, Sasuke removed his boxers, limping into the shower and standing under the spray, closing his eyes.
He let the water numb his body and began washing himself, just wanting to get the night over, he knew his mother well enough to know that it would be a very large gathering, she always went overboard with parties, but it was just the way she was and he wouldn't have her any other way.

Sasuke let out a quiet yawn, laughing quietly at Neji who was grumbling annoyed as a brown haired girl with buns in her hair pestered him, he was only 10 years old and already he was being swarmed by girls, Sasuke, who was only 9, was also bugged by many girls but he kept them away by giving them the famous Uchiha glare.
After the two managed to get away from the squealing girls they walked over to Kiba, Shikamaru and Shino who were all standing in a corner.
When they arrived Kiba grinned doggishly and swung and arm around Sasuke's shoulders, bringing the raven close.
"Sasuke! What's up!? Any girls attempt to rape you yet?" The dog boy asked, grinning even wider when Sasuke's cheeks turned slightly red.
"Shut up Kiba." He growled embarrassedly, shrugging the arm off.
"Aw, why are you always so cold to me Sasuke-chan!?" Kiba whined, looping his arms around the tiny waist and bringing the raven to his chest jokingly.
"Dog breath, leave Sasuke alone!"
All five boys instantly cringed when they heard the screeching and annoying voice of the all too familiar Sakura Haruno.
Sasuke stopped struggling against Kiba, preffering the brunette boy to hold him rather than suffer through a pointless and boring conversation with the pink haired freak.
"Nah, I don't think I will, plus, he looks scarred shitless of you right now." Kiba replied, grinning.
"Excuse me!? How dare you, you insignificant little-"
"Sakura calm down." TenTen chided, rolling her eyes at the pink-haired girl, while smiling at Neji.
"Neji! Want to dance?" She asked, grabbing hold of his arm before he could reply, and dragging him off to the dance floor, Sakura brightened at that and opened her mouth to ask Sasuke also, but the raven was quicker and walked towards Hinata who was by herself and grabbed her arm.
"We're dancing." He grumbled, hearing Sakura gasp and let out a humph in anger.
"O-oh! U-u-um...o-okay..." She stuttered out, her expression terrified.
Sasuke's gaze softened, "Sorry, but the pink haired menace was about to ask me to dance." He explained, smiling ever so slightly.
Hinata blushed, smiling and nodding her head, seemingly relaxing.
"Sooo, Neji tells me you have a crush on a certain blonde-haired Sabaku." He casually commented, smirking when the pale ravenette blushed heavily, her lavender eyes widening.
"W-what?"
"It's nothing to be ashamed of." He assured her, smiling at her gently, something he very rarely ever did, he could already hear the many girls growling in the background.
"I-I know...but s-she only sees me as a friend," She whispered sadly, biting her bottom lip.
"Well, we're only nine; we've got a while until it turns into a bigger issue." Sasuke replied, trying to comfort the ravenette.
"Yeah..." She laughed quietly, feeling her cheeks heat up, noticing out of the corner of her eye Sasuke's mother and her father starring at them with pleased expressions.
The song ended eventually and the two stepped away from each other, Sasuke leading Hinata off the dance floor politely, smiling reassuringly, walking beside her to the dining table where everyone was beginning to sit.
He stood beside Neji and pulled out Hinata's chair before sitting down in his own chair between the Hyuuga's, he let out a sigh when he was served some strange looking dish, he scrunched up his nose ever so slightly but grabbed his fork and knife, cutting of a small piece and bringing the piece of food to his mouth.
He glanced at Neji who was still starring down at the food intensely, his light lavender eyes narrowing at the foul food as if it were going to suddenly attack him.
And this was only the first course, something in his gut told this was going to be looong night.
