Disclaimer: Naruto is not mine. Although I would love to have Lee…
Author's note: …but this isn't a story about him, but about our all time favourite Uchiha brothers xsmilex. Thought I had to post this, before we get to the chapters were hopefully some secrets of the Uchihas will be explained. I guess it is a bit OOC, but that is for you to decide. So please read and enjoy!

Hate
I hated you.
From the moment you were born I detested you. You were simply perfect, but not perfect enough. Not like me.
I hated it.
All the pressure of our family was put on me. All their hopes and dreams and their future was bestowed onto me.
I hated it.
I hoped when you would be born at least some of the pressure would be taken from me. But on the contrary, it seemed like it would get more from day to day. Because I was better, always would be and nothing could change that. Not even that you were a prodigy. I was always deemed better.
I hated it.
All I ever wanted was just to be me, to have the freedom to do what I wanted to do and not what everyone expected me to do. But I wasn't granted this freedom. And to be honest I was sick of it. It was killing me inside everyday a bit more. And the only thing that kept me from dying was you.
I hated it.
Of course I wanted to be better then everyone else. The wish came naturally with everyone looking at me. Though I didn't wanted to be strong for them, but for myself. I wanted to be stronger then all of them so I could break all ties with them one day. I wanted to get away from them so desperately it hurt. But no one noticed what was going on inside me, no one, not our parents, not my best friend.
I hated it.
You weren't perfect enough, not by any means. Gifted, yes. Talented, of course. But never perfect enough. I always thought of you as weak, anyways. No one paid as much attention to you as they did to me. You were lucky, because it meant that they never put in you the same hopes as they put in me, never the same tiring demands. No, you were never forced to be perfect, to strive for perfection. And still they always loved you more then me.
I hated it.
I wanted them to know what they had done to me. I wanted them to know how strong I truly became. But most of all I wanted you to know how it feels to be me. How it feels when you push yourself to a goal you probably can never reach, with no support from the people you love. I wanted you to know how it feels when love turns into hate, despise and later cold disgust. Because it was all I felt for them before I killed them.
I hated it.
But do you know what I hate the most, little brother? What I want you to know more then anything else?
I want you to know how it feels when the only person that keeps you going, is the one person you hate the most. How it feels like when the only person you detest more then anyone else, is the only one you want to live for. How it feels when the only person who ever truly loved you, is the only person you truly hate. How it feels when the only person you hate, is the only one you simply can't kill, because after all you have gone through you are still too weak.
I hate you, Sasuke.
Foolish little brother. If you want to kill me, hate me, detest me, and survive in an unslightly way. Run, run and cling to life. And then some day, when you have the same eyes as I do, come before me.
END

Author's note: I hope you liked it and that the end wasn't to confusing (and yes, Itachi loves his little brother, that's why he couldn't kill him). As always, please be aware that English isn't my native language and so every comment and helpful criticism is appreciated. Please feel free to review!
