A/N: I have with me here the second part of the Prologue that I cut out from the first one. I'm thankful for those who have reviewed and for those that don't know. Isolophobia is the fear of being alone or solitude. I looked up 'list of phobias' on google to find it and this came up. I'm guessing that the 'isolo' part came from 'isolation'. I don't know.

I do NOT OWN the Naruto characters or the story itself. I know that I express my deep hatred for Orochimaru and Kabuto and I know that I made them all 'friends' with these guys but I have something deliciously planned for them. Thank you and please enjoy.

Prologue 2

One month later since Sasuke's demise…

"Exactly a month after the tragic suicide of Uchiha Sasuke, a friend of his brother, Uchiha Itachi, has died today early this morning. Twenty-one year-old Uzumaki Kyuubi was found on the school campus after jumping or falling from the roof of his school. Many students claim that the roof is his hangout and he would go there quiet often to keep away from his fellow students. With this knowledge, there is reason to believe that Uzumaki Kyuubi simply fell off the roof to his death but from those that witnessed the fall claim that he turned around and fell intentionally. Kyuubi was also known to have a record and was not very sociable with the other students. The very people close to him were the Uchiha brothers and his younger brother, Uzumaki Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto claims that the night before, both Kyuubi and him got into fight about something he wishes they never fought about."

"Right now, if I could, I would take back what I said to him and I would never have argued with him. I don't even know what I was thinking, saying something like that to him. Maybe it was from the stress of losing my best friend or I really was confused but more than anything, I would wish for nothing more than the life of my brother or at least the last thing I said to him wasn't so awful."

"At this time, Naruto is unwilling to share what the reason of the argument was. The boy will now live with his god-father, Umino Iruka, having lost his parents in a car accident three years ago and now his brother."

"Why did you confess to me, Naruto? Were you really serious about what you said?…What are my feelings for you?"

Two months later since Sasuke's demise…

"Another tragedy has occurred yesterday of yet another close friend of the tragic Uchiha brothers. Twenty-three year-old Akasuna Sasori was found dead this morning from a wood shop accident that happened only last night. From the walking witnesses, it is claimed that they saw him marching into his studio in a rage and they heard several crashes before a saw was heard and then everything went quiet. His beloved grandmother, and boss of the Carpenter company he works for, Akasuna Chiyo discovered her grandson's body in the morning and called 911 before having a heart attack from the sight of Akasuna Sasori's dismembered body. There is reason to believe that what happened was simply an accident and the condition of the room was caused by the spewing rage of something that happened earlier that morning. His lover, Katsu Deidara has the story."

"W-We've been dating for only two and…a half months maybe and he asked me to marry him, un. We were best friends before and he told me that he always loved me and wanted to be with me, un. But I told him that things were going too fast and that we should slow down, especially since we're trying to comfort our friends who both lost their brothers to what many believe to be suicide. But Danna wouldn't hear me out. He thought it was about something else and he got angry, un. Next thing I know, I'm getting a call from the police to tell me that he's dead. Now more than anything, I wished I said yes…un…"

"Why, Deidara?…Why did you say no when I love you so much?"

Three months later since Sasuke's demise…

"They say three times a charm but for Uchiha Itachi, who has already lost a brother and two friends, has now lost another person close to him. Today at Konoha's Nature Research Facility, Twenty-four year-old Hebi Orochimaru was found in his office, dead from Inland Taipan poison. Inland Taipan is the most poisonous snake in the world and one of Hebi Orochimaru's favorite. He was studying on how to identify symptoms of being exposed to Inland Taipan poisoning and he was developing a cure or at least a treatment that would temporary stop the poison from spreading the body until the poison has been drained out of the symptom. From the circumstances of what happened before his death, his demise has been concluded an unintentional suicide."

"Orochimaru was reported to the facility to talk with his boss, Danzo. He was confused on what it meant but I told him that it was a good thing, you know to ease his nerves. I also told him that if it'll make him feel better, he would call me to tell me what happened and we could either go out to celebrate it or go out for a drink to make him feel better. I forgot to charge my phone and it was dead. He must have called hundreds of times but I didn't answer. I didn't even hear that he died till I got home and the police called our house phone."

"Hebi Orochimaru was released from his job for not coming up with any progress on his work for several months. He claimed that it was because the past few months weren't really the best but it was not enough. When his body was found, his office was trash and there was a three feet ruler near his hands. There is reason to believe that in rage of losing his job, Hebi Orochimaru trashed his own office and having released an Inland Taipan without knowing until it was too late."

"I'm not confused at all. I know that Kabuto loves me. But why didn't he answer me when I called him? I don't understand…"

Four months later since Sasuke's demise…

"Last night, Sixteen year-old Hozuki Suigetsu was said to have fallen out of a ship and have been eaten by Tiger Sharks. Hozuki Suigetsu was on a ship enjoying the evening with his boyfriend, Hoshigaki Kisame. Other members of the ship report saying that the two lovers got into a fight and Hoshigaki Kisame, as an apology, wanted to meet with the young teenager and come to a compromise. But as the teen was waiting, a witness, Momochi Zabuza said that he was changing the light bulb in the lamp late in the evening and when he suddenly turned it on, the blinding light must have surprised Hozuki Suigetsu because Momochi Zabuza heard a splash only moments later. There has been blood residue on a sharp point of the ship and it was tested as Hozuki Suigetsu's blood. This evidence is enough to explain that before falling, Hozuki Suigetsu either cut himself intentionally or accidently but by the time he fell in the water in an area native to the Tiger Sharks, the blood attracted them and the poor teenager was eaten. By the time that the crew members went to see what the splash was, they saw struggle in the water and lots of blood. Because of the shock of losing the person he loved, Hoshigaki Kisame is unable to give a statement but we have Momochi Zabuza with his."

"I admit that I acted like I didn't like the brat but he was alright and he was Kisame's love and all so –shrugs- you know. He had a cute face but annoying behavior and he was a show off at times. I think Kisame brought him over to get the boy's mind off a few things but it wasn't working and I think that was what the fight was about. Kisame wanted to go in and save the boy but we all knew that if he went in, the sharks were going to eat him too. I think making him stand back as that kid was getting eaten must have been the devastating thing to have ever happened. I really do wish that there was something we could have done but from how I saw it, there was none."

"Hozuki Suigetsu and Hoshigake Kisame were also dear friends to the tragic Uchiha brothers; Hozuki Suigetsu being closer to Uchiha Sasuke as Hoshigake Kisame is to Uchiha Itachi. With this new information and Hozuki Suigetsu being the fourth friend to have died, many people are starting to believe that the Uchiha brothers are cursed."

"Kisame…why did you take so long?"

Five months later since Sasuke's demise…

"Tonight we have a report of yet another tragic death of another dear friend of the tragic Uchiha brothers five months ago. It has been three days since anyone has seen Twenty-one year-old Kaguya Kimimaro and three days since a terrible thunderstorm that became the cause of many landslides, and the man's body was discovered buried and crushed one of the earliest landslides. Kaguya Kimimaro lived with his fiancé Sakaguchi Juugo in a home near the mountains. The power went out and Sakaguchi Juugo went out to start the backup engine. Sakaguchi Juugo went out and noticed a dog tied to a fence as a landslide was coming down. He went off to save the dog and the landslide just barely missed him. After returning to the dog to the family, Sakaguchi Juugo had to go around the other way around his house to the backup engine. By the time he got the engine running and returned inside, his fiancé had disappeared. There is reason to believe that Kaguya Kimimaro was probably worried about the safety of his fiancé since already four of his friends have already died in the past five months. When he came out and saw the landslide, he must started digging but another landslide was coming and Kaguya Kimimaro was unfortunately unable to move out of the way."

"Kimimaro was the greatest person to have ever lived. He was kind and the most accepting person you could ever meet. When he looks at you, he doesn't see what other people do. He would see the very depths of your soul and find the good in them. Before I met him, I was having problems and Kimimaro pulled me out of it. I was lucky to have been loved by him and I hope that his soul is now in peace…I really miss him…"

"Juugo! Where are you? Why can't I find you?"

Six months later since Sasuke's demise…

"Six months ago, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke became known as the tragic Uchiha brothers since the violent suicide of Uchiha Sasuke. But today, that role is passed on to their uncles, forty-eight year old Uchiha Madara and forty-two year-old Uchiha Izuna. We have very few information about what happened since it only occurred an hour ago but there is evidence to claim that Uchiha Izuna ripped out his own eyes and died from lack of blood. Like his oldest nephew, Uchiha Madara is too heart-broken to give a statement but their sister and the mother of the first tragic Uchiha brothers has this to say."

"Unlike many group of siblings, my brothers and I were close. We were the best of friends with each other and they were the world to me. But despite being so close to them, I've always known that I could never be any closer to them as they were with each other. Even after we started our own lives and moved out of our parent's house, my brothers lived together as I met my husband and started a family. Like my boys, my brothers were inseparable and they loved and cared about no one else as much as they did for each other. They had a strong brotherly bond that no one on this planet could possible understand, not even me. It pains me to know that I can't understand what aniki is going through right now. All I know is the loss of a brother, not the loss of your other half. The only one who can possibly understand is my son, Uchiha Itachi and everyone else who lost their loved ones. It's just so sad to hear that this happened."

"Were you lying to me, onii-san, when you told me that you loved me? Wasn't I supposed to be your everything?…So why did you kiss him?"

At Izuna's funeral, Itachi had this to say as an announcement at the dinner.

"Tomorrow, I will be returning to the ANBU University and I'll study to take the employment exam. Once I pass, I'll study to become a detective and take over the family business."

No one could say anything. Everyone was speechless. The most stunned people in the crowd were Madara, Juugo, Kisame, Deidara, Naruto, and Mikoto. If Kabuto didn't had a business trip to go to and he heard these words, he would be just as shocked. Fugaku was the only one with a proud smile on his face as he nodded in approval.

And now the real story will begin.

How was it? Bad? Good? Let me know. Till next time.
