yeah, it's naruto. It has a lot to do with Sasuke and Itachi, and I'm gonna make it brotherly . -nodnod- It will be done.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke struggled, in another one of his nightmares. Thrashing around and throwing the blankets everywhere. But he couldn't do anything. Nothing. . .he couldn't stop him. No. . .no. . .no one could stop him. He was everywhere he went, his red eyes radiating hate, everywhere he looked, whenever he stopped, when he was training. Those eyes were always there. Hateful. What did he do? Why did they glare at him? Was it something that their father had done? Their mother? Something that he did? Why? Why did nii-san want to kill him? He used to be so nice. So nice, and caring. So comforting, too. Those eyes really did hurt, not because they were sharingan, or that they were torturing him, or that they were just scary. . .but those were once the eyes of his nii-san, his big brother, someone who used to love and care for him. What did he ever do. . .
He opened his eyes. Those eyes were gone. Like they were everytime he woke up. he stared around the room and suddenly felt very small, and lonely. Forcing himself up, he got dressed and headed downstairs. His teammates were outside, Naruto sleeping, and and Sakura muttering to herself. Nothing seemed to have changed. Nothing.
The day progressed like normal, wait for sensei, go train, go back to his dorm. nothing else. Something
he didn't want to do though, was sleep. But after training he was always so tired, and there wasn't anything else to do, but if he slept, those eyes would be there. He trudged up the stairs, thinking to himself, like always, silently. People were afraid of his silence, he couldn't help it. Sometimes, when there were too many people around, he would think of his beloved clan, and then he would remember that they were. . .all. . .gone. Most nights, he just stayed up thinking about them, keeping himself awake as long as he could before drifting off, and by then, he was too tired to think of those eyes, but they always came back to him, everytime, anytime, everywhere and anywhere. They always reminded him of his purpose, his 'so-called' goal. But even though he told people how much he hated that man, he always had the thought, in the back of his head. . . .do I?
-------------------
Today was unusually annoying. Naruto's voice seemed more irritating than ever, and Sakura's blushing suddenly yanked itself onto his nerves. He concentrated on his training, and nothing else. How else would he get that man? But again, deep in his conscience, a small voice uttered . . . Why, though? He forced himself to ignore it. He focused solely on the task at hand, a simple mission, catching a common theif, nothing too exciting. They were told that he lurked at night, so therefore, they would head out at eleven to catch him. Sasuke didn't mind, it was something to keep him up. Up and away from his thoughts. Which was the best thing for him he figured. Then tried to suppress a glare as Naruto managed to flip his entire body over and crush his already pathetically small and thrashed brain, and he thought it was impossible to hurt yourself walking. . .Naruto must have been A) supernatural B) just a freakin' idiot or C) tryin' really, really hard.

11'oclock pm
Sasuke stared up, did the stars seemed to have brightened? or was it just him. He focused his gaze back into the empty blackness of night. He heard Kakashi-sensei shift gently next to him, on the right. Then Naruto stifling a sneeze on the left. And Sakura socking Naruto head from behind him, hissing something uncomprehendable to him. Why did he get stuck with these teammates of all people.
He turned and suddenly caught sight of their target. Watching the dark figure move closer to some of the shopping area, he turned to see Kakashi-sensei's sharingan, a rare sight to the three and pretty much everyone else, maybe this guy was tougher than he looked, a simple robber didn't deserve the Sharingan's power.
Kakashi-sensei must have been a great shinobi, Sasuke had to think, I wonder what happened to make him so . . .I don't know, relaxed? He glanced up at the man beside him, whose other eye suddenly got an "uh-oh" look in it. Oh boy, another 'you-guys-should-go-back-I'll-handle-it' look. Naruto glared from his left and Sakura gazed at his back with a pleading look. Kakashi turned to signal to them and was immediately defeated, and started furiously muttering to himself about that darned (don curse, put your word in) team. Sasuke hid a smile about how they so easily overpowered him.
They all spread out, taking a different corner around the man, who came to a halt and looked around, obviously sensing some kind of danger. Then continued on his way. Sasuke glanced up from his postion then suddenly felt something whip by him, turning around, he saw the man. And with the man, came an evil smirk. Sasuke found himself locked in the man's gaze, he couldn't move. . .not even when the kunai came down, colliding with his head, neck and along his side. He couldn't even cry out. He fell with a 'thud', and heard Sakura shout and the thumping of feet, but the only thing he could see were those red eyes.
--------------------------------------------
He cried out into the open in his mind, searching for some object of comfort, but found none. And for the first time in a long time, he began sobbing. Uncontrolably, tears fought their way out and down the sides of his face, in his mind and in the world itself. Kakashi frowned in deep frustration, trying to figure out what was wrong. He could see that the boy was badly injured, and was unusually weak. He was concerned though, the boy was almost never in this state, even after such an injury. The medic motioned him to come over.
"I think that he is in a state of mental shock, I'm not sure though, he's been thrashing around, so it may have inflicted some pain," The medic shook his head, "I don't really know, though. He hasn't been talking, so he must have something-"
Kakashi didn't hear the next words, but he did hear a strained cry in the next room. He whipped through the door and into the next to see Sakura, hugging Sasuke, and Naruto with a concerned expression for the boy, who, Kakashi noticed, was sobbing and trembling without control, yes, something was wrong. Carefully wandering over, he pulled Sasuke from Sakura's comforting arms. He had been neatly stitched up, and the blood had been cleared away, the pained expression on his face said that it was clearly something deeper. He laid him down on the bed and listened, hearing what he never thought would come up.
"Nii-san. . .nii-san. . ." Sasuke couldn't help it, he wasn't calling for his cold older brother, but for the one that he knew and loved, and the one who returned those emotions. He still loved him, and that Itachi was the only source of comfort he could find.
Kakashi stared, unable to comprehend what he meant, Itachi would kill him anytime he had the chance.
"Nii-san. . . .nii. . .san" Sasuke whispered, unknowing, barely conscious, and desperate. Kakashi had no other choice, he had to do something to calm him.
"Your Nii-san is coming, he'll be here soon. . ." He whispered down to the boy, who suddenly relaxed. But what Kakashi had not expected was for a dark cloaked figure to rip open the door and say
"Sasuke?"
