Chapter 2 – Uchiha Sasuke

It was raining, perfect. Few people on streets, neither hot nor cold, the only noises came from the rain drops and the increased traffic. I smirked walking down the almost deserted streets.

No fan girls in sight, just me and my umbrella silently walking through Konoha's streets.

I looked up the sky. It was all gray, just the way I liked.

"Sasuke"

No, please, tell me it's not a stalker fan girl.

"Sasuke"

Wait, the call came from above me, from the sky. Was it some heavenly experience?

Mwahahaha, finally!

Finally someone up there saw I deserved to be a divine figure above my idiotic brother.

The clouds cleared up bringing the blinding light.

Shit, it was too bright.

Too bright.

I forced my eyes to open.

I arched an eyebrow. What was this wall doing here? Wait, this was my wall.

I turned myself to the other side of bed.

Ah! My eyes! Who opened the curtains?

I blinked few times adjusting my eyes to the light.

I sat up in my bed still sleepy.

Shadow?

I looked up… and growled

"What are you doing in my bedroom?"

"Waking you up, you're late"

I grabbed my phone on the nightstand. It was already 6am!

"Shit"

"Watch your mouth"

I glared "Mind your business, Itachi"

He crossed his arms in front of his chest "You are my business otouto", he smirked amused "Were you sleeping with your plush dinosaur?"

That's why I hated when he entered my room; he always, always, found a reason to irritate me.

I threw the said dinosaur at him with full force "Why don't you buy a cat and take care of his 7 lives instead of mine!"

He headed to the corridor out of my bedroom taking MY dinosaur in his arms. He stopped midway and turned his head at me so I could see his sadistic smile "I already have one… Sasu-neko"

I gritted my teeth in anger "Get the fuck off"

He chuckled and leaned at my doorframe "Oh by the way, you were talking in your sleep"

I arched an eyebrow. Talking? Talking what? The last part of my dream came in mind.

Shit. I couldn't have said that out loud, could I?

Itachi smirked "Now get ready God Sasuke, your idiotic brother is waiting in the kitchen"

I buried my head in the pillow

Ah! I wanted to die!

I carried my heavy body to the bathroom. I so needed a shower to wake up.

I took longer than I usually take, but the shower was so good.

Finally I managed to get all my things ready, what didn't take long since I had all organized, what usually takes long time is to make my hair the way I like it. Straight in the front and spiky in the back.

I smirked at my reflex at the mirror. Good.

I looked at the clock on my way to the kitchen.

Shit, I was already late! What happened to time? When did it pass so fast?

Where was my useless big brother?

He was calmly waiting me in the kitchen.

I grabbed an apple and a glass of juice from the refrigerator, not bothering to sit to eat. I was late.

I had no time to wash the one glass I has used, so I just put it inside the sink for later, I didn't use to do that but also, I was used to being later as well. What was happening to me?

I saw that my brother still had MY dinosaur in his arms. I quickly saved my precious childhood friend from his evil arms and went back to my bedroom to get my stuff and brush my teeth.

Back to the main hall, the door was open and I could hear the car's honk from the street.

Inside the car, I could relax a bit; at least I was on my way to school. Itachi looked oddly happy.

"Why do you still have that thing, otouto?"

With 'that thing' he referred to my dinosaur, it angered me. But knowing it wasn't my lucky day I decided against getting angry and just answer honestly, I wasn't a kid anymore.

I sighed, it wasn't easy to answer that, Itachi never questioned about it before, but "Because it's the only and last gift from mother and father that was still intact"

"…"

The usual pleasant silence wasn't there. Instead an awkward atmosphere was pressing us in that small space.

I tried to stop thinking about it and think about other things of my life.

My life.

Uchiha Sasuke, 17, senior at Konoha High School. Black hair with equal black eyes, pale skin and slim yet strong body. People described me as quiet, mysterious, handsome and a true genius. Not that I disagreed, but sometimes they expected too much of me, I was still only human. But not that people cared to try to know your real self, looks counted more than anything in life, what leads to girls. Since I was young, girls always followed me; they declared their love for me even if they had never talked to me once. In the beginning I liked the attention, but then you grow up and find it stupid, they never fell for me, not for the real me, they fell for the Sasuke in their imagination. They never knew me, and never tried to. Because of that I rejected all girls who had 'fallen in love with me', I never gave them reasons and never cared if they cried, it wasn't my fault. The problem was when rejecting all girls made my fan club increases and created weird rumors like I was already engaged or that I had an older girlfriend. I had none, I was just trying to peacefully live my quiet life the way I wanted it.

Frustration. I don't usually talk all that much, well not aloud. But inside my head I talk all the time. Fine that sometimes I didn't listen to people, so I created the perfect answer 'Hn'. It could be used for anything.

Enough talking about me

As you may know, the one driving me to school is my big brother, Uchiha Itachi, 22. We look alike a lot, dark eyes, black hair, but his was long and he kept in a loose ponytail. He has the evilest smirk and a death glare. He passed most of his free time irritating me; it's like his mission in life. He studies Law at Akatsuki University and that's nothing he can't do. He taught me self-defense and had a thing for martial arts. Ita-niisan used to be my role model and hero when I was a kid but it suddenly changed when I was 8and it worsened when I was 12.

But it has to do with my parents. Oh yeah, my parents.

My parents died when I was 8 in a huge fire that took the whole district we lived with all the Uchiha relatives. I wasn't home when it happened, I had gone to a camping with school and was excited to tell them all about that. Unfortunately, when I arrived home, there wasn't much left, Itachi had survived, he was below my parents' burnt bodies. The firemen said it was the only reason Itachi had survived. The other thing that had survived was my plush dinosaur, it was found in my mother's arms, and for years I could feel her scent in it. It helped me sleep at nights when nightmares were too real and scary.

Nobody could explain the cause of the fire; it was an accident they had said.

After this accident, Itachi was never the same, he became distant and cold, and for years it felt like he despised me, always acting and saying I was not good enough. And one day when I was 12, he decided to tell me what had really happened on the fire's day.

Only thinking about that made me shiver and I hate talking about it as much as I hate talking about my parents' death.

Nowadays, me and my brother are… fine, I guess. We're not like we used to be when our parents were still alive, but we're getting along better than the time from my 8 to my 15. It took me three years to forgive him about what he had told me.

Getting free from all my thoughts, I saw we were arriving the school and decided to break the silence; it couldn't get any worse in so short time.

"Nii-san…"

He looked surprised, but his face was back to his earlier happy face. "Yes Sasuke?"

"What happened? You're unusual happy and talkative since morning"

"Yeah, but you're not ignoring me like you usually do"

"I just prefer not to face the consequences of ignoring you"

He smirked, satisfied with my answer.

"It's not something it happened; it's something it will happen"

I was clearly curious "And what is it that can make the usual emotionless Itachi happy?"

"I, little brother, have a date"

I arched an eyebrow "You mean a meeting"

He chuckled "No, I mean a date, a real date"

My eyes widened a bit, my mouth slightly opened and I was sure I looked an idiot. "Wow, you can actually talk to people? Like friendly talking to people?"

He rolled his eyes like saying 'And is there something I cannot do?'

I became uncharacteristically excited. That was the first time I heard my brother had a date. "Who is it? Where did you meet? Where are you going to your date?"

He chuckled again, totally amused by my reaction. "You know it's my date, not yours."

I frowned

He smiled "I won't say who it is, it's from my university and I have no idea where I'm going to our date, it wasn't me who chose"

I wanted to know more. There were millions of questions in my mind.

Ita-niisan poked my forehead like he always did to get my attention.

"You have to go, you have literally 20 seconds to enter classroom if you don't want to be late"

Oh shit, the school!

"What time will you pick me up today?"

"Around five"

I jumped out of the car as fast as I could.

"Bye Nii-san. You better tell me everything later!"

I ran into school's building as fast as I could, I didn't want to be late.

I had 20 seconds according to Itachi. I looked at my cellphone.

Damn him, he will pay! It was 20 seconds to the second bell.

I was never, never, in my entire life, never this late for anything, especially school.

I stopped in front of the classroom's door and felt a shiver in my spine. It meant something would happen.

Good or bad?

I could only wonder.

I put on my usual stoic face and knocked the door before slowly opening it.

Hatake Kakashi, the history teacher, was there.

I wanted to die! I was later than this guy! I should die! Kakashi-sensei was always the last to enter classroom, it was an unvoiced law! And I had just broken it.

I could hear the whispers and feel all the looks on me. Of course my face was expressionless, even if inside I was freaking out.

Kakashi called me and told me to write my name on the blackboard on the second blank. He said it was extremely important that I wrote it on the second blank.

I gave him my characteristic "Hn" and pretend I didn't care at all.

Kakashi-sensei started "So, like Sasuke is already here. I think he can be the first to write his name on the blackboard".

He smiled at me "Please Sasuke"

I was shaking inside. Outside, I was as cool as I was known for.

And then, I did the thing that changed everything.

I wrote my name.

If only I had woken up earlier that day.

Too late.


It was a bit too much OOC, but it's my main idea. What you really are and what you show people.

I can't help but think that both Naruto and Sasuke are too much Uke in the story. So, tell me, who do you guys think will top?

SasuNaru X NaruSasu - the battle begins!
(sorry for some mistakes - I had no time to check it, maybe later)
