Okay, so here is the second revised chapter, new improved and easier to read...

Enjoy


Itachi leant against the chair of the car, eyes closed and rested, tired before he heard the car door open beside him and Sasuke slipped in. He lazily opened his eyes and turned his head, blinking before frowning and twisting the key violently and reversing as fast as he could.

Itachi didn't mean to do this, he just really hated his brother being near their parents, and he wasn't exactly happy being near them either. He sighed as he started to drive onwards, frowning a bit to himself. He was silently debating about moving out and going some where far away.

Really, really far away.

Overseas was better. Although, he didn't want to leave his brother with their parents, and he wasn't exactly out of school yet, so he had to tolerate it, just for the younger one.

The younger teens body jerked as he was driven away.

Itachi turned his head slightly and looked to his left, making sure there was no traffic before directing the car down a new street, he hadn't ever gone down this way towards school before, but he had to stop by some where and pick something up. Slowing down the car a bit as they kept driving past odd and broken down houses, Itachi frowned as he pulled a slip of paper from his pants pockets and looked at the scrawled writing there before slowing down and parking the car. He sighed and undid his belt.

"I'll be quick, you can come with me or stay in the car," he said softly as he pushed open the passenger door and swallowed, looking at the house. He wasn't exactly nervous of the place, more or less what he was there for.

A nice new blade, he'd ordered it through some people and he was mentally plotting a nice slaughter-fest with it. He was just nervous his brother would find out or be suspicious. Looking back at his younger brother he started to walk up the path that led to the door.

Left to his own musings for a few moments, Sasuke looked up to Itachi as his brother spoke. Nodding his head softly, Sasuke opened his car door before slamming it shut, suddenly feeling too clean to be in a place like this. As Naruto had reminded him many times, he had the air or someone from upper class, his pale skin showing that, so for him to voluntarily leave a clean place to walk in a dirty one, was surprising even to himself.

Following Itachi up the path to the run down looking house, he couldn't help but look around, feeling like they were doing something bad, or such people as themselves, such flawless people, would stand out too much in the local crowd, possibly ending up in a fight. Oh he knew how to fight, him and people from school did it all the time, but he wasn't about to risk getting marked, so he walked closer to his brother.

Itachi saw his brother walking beside him, rather closely, and mentally, it made him smile. What a perfect gorgeous brother he had, and he admitted he got a bit jealous that Sasuke wasn't his. He reached the door, raising a hand and knocking on the door with his knuckles, sighing and waiting, one hand on his hip, the other hanging beside him.

There came a few creaky footsteps before the door opened and a tall teen with bright orange hair and numerous piercings stood before him, smirking, the wafting smell of blood coming from inside, outside, heck from all around, like rotting bodies.

Wrinkling his nose as he was assaulted with all the different smells as he walked to the house, Sasuke stared at the man who answered the doors with distaste. All those piercings couldn't be good for someone's body. He also mused about how he could have probably bought a better house if he hadn't spent all that money on putting holes in his body.

"Ah, Itachi-kun, you did come, and who's this?" The teen said with a smirk as Itachi blinked and looked down.

"This is my little brother Sasuke," he said simply before the teen nodded and pulled out a wrapped up package and handed it over to the eldest raven haired Uchiha.

"There you are, brand new, you have the money?" He asked in a hushed voice as Itachi handed over quite the wad of money and gave a small nod as the pierced one smirked, counted the cash and gave a nod."Pleasure, good luck," he said softly before shutting the door.

Holding the packaged weapon, Itachi gestured for the other to follow him back towards the car, silently wondering if the boy would talk to much about his 'boss' Pein.

As he opened the door he looked at his younger brother. "I can trust you alright? Make sure this doesn't slip, okay?" he said gently, but in a firm voice as he sat in the car, placing the sword in the very back, hidden under the seat as he then waited for Sasuke to get in.

Walking back over to the car and looking over to his brother with an almost confused look – almost that is, after all the Uchiha didn't like to show much emotion- Sasuke turned and looked to where his brother had placed his traded item before shrugging softly "Sure, whatever" He may have sounded uninterested, but he couldn't help but wonder why his brother would need something, and why he would go to such a looser as the one he just saw. Buckling his belt, he sat back comfortably in his chair, waiting for his school day to start.

Itachi sighed a bit and nodded. What a relief. He glanced at Sasuke as he buckled his seat belt before turning on the ignition and starting the car, sending it to reverse out and back down the way they'd come before turning left and heading the right way to school. He sighed, feeling a bit on edge, shifting a bit in his seat, glancing in the rear view mirror a few times. He'd be feeling jumpy all day leaving that Katana in the car, but he couldn't exactly take it home.

As he saw the school approaching he sighed in relief, having something else to think about other than the blade sitting in his back seat. When it got near, Itachi pulled into the school's driveway and into the parking lot, locating a free space and pulling in, parking and pulling out the key with a shaky sigh, rubbing the bridge of his nose.

"Okay, have a good day at school, meet me at the car, I might be late by a few minutes if a test runs overtime, so don't worry, just wait by the car," he said gently as he undid his seatbelt, twisting in his seat and reaching to get his bag and school books

Sasuke just grunted his usual grunt as he undid his belt and stepped out the car, grabbing his bag and slinging it over his shoulder as he shut the car door, wincing at the loud slam before turning around and starting his walk over to the school.

Running a hand through his raven locks, the Uchiha glanced around, glad that they were earlier than usual. It meant he wouldn't have to put up with Naruto, or the fan girls he had acquired for a few more minutes. Walking up to the school, Sasuke took one last look over his shoulder at his brother before heading up the stairs to his classroom

Sprinting around the school, blonde hair and a bright orange pants and shirted teen was sprinting, whisker like things across his cheeks, blue eyes searching for.."SASUKE-BASTARD!" came the cry. Yep. Uzumaki Naruto was trying to track down his 'friend' the Uchiha. He grinned brightly as he slowed down, giving a wave."A bit later then usual? Did you or your brother sleep in?"He asked with a grin, folding his arms behind his head and stopping, waiting for the other to catch up.

Cringing at the sounds of the idiot blonde that insisted on sharing his air, the raved haired teen turned in his step, a blank look on his face as he went to walk back down the stairs, away from Naruto. "Idiot" He mumbled as he descended down the stairs before sitting on the top step and looking out around the school "I'm not late, stupid, I'm earlier than usual, what do you do, live in the school?" He asked, not bothering to hide the irritation in his voice.

Naruto blinked, stunned as he sat himself down by the raven haired boy. "Gee, sorry, feels like you're later then usual, or, was I just early. Bah, no matter, point is you're here Sasuke-bastard," he said with a bright grin. Then the grin faltered

"Gee, thanks, I don't live in it, I just get here earlier than you, is there a problem?" He asked with a frown and a pout, crossing his arms. "Sometimes I swear you resemble that creepy brother of yours a lot," he mumbled, a bit more to himself than to Sasuke.

Humming softly, the youngest Uchiha glanced over to Naruto, too ready to make a quip about how Naruto couldn't resemble anyone as he was an orphan, but decided he'd keep his temper in check. Folding his hands neatly in his lap, Sasuke sighed, once again looking down the stairs.

Being alone with the blonde caused him to think, and it was often not about things he wanted to think about. Suicide was one of them. It may have sounded offensive to the blonde should Sasuke have ever told him that being near him made him want to die, as that wasn't the actual matter. In fact, being near the blonde made him jealous, jealous of how he could smile so easily even though he had no-one.

In Sasuke's opinion it was stupid and foolish, anyone that could smile so much no matter what was stupid. "Idiot" He sighed softly "Mind giving me some space, you smell like that dog boy who follows you around"

Naruto blinked and frowned, crossing his arms. "Well excuse me, I'll shower when I get home if it makes you feel better, but Kiba came and Akamaru was drenched, you should give those two a whiff if you think I stink," Naruto said, but none the less, he budged over a tiny bit, looking over at the raven. He sighed after a while.

"You know, lately it looks like something has been up, and I'm worried, I know you don't want to talk cause you're your usual unemotional bastard self, but seriously, you and your brother just, well, a bit dodgy you know, something wrong at home, or, with school work?" He asked softly as he tilted his head. Sure he was blonde and 90 percent of the time acted it too, but he was still quite smart deep down... Deep... Deep... DEEP down, buried under, well, you get the picture, took a lot of digging to pull out the brains.

Glaring at the place in front of him, his eye slowly twitching, something inside Sasuke snapped. It wasn't the usual snap where he'd show weakness, oh no, those days were long gone in his opinion. The elastic band that had held all his rage had been cut by the sharp words spoken by then blonde. He had no right assuming things about his life, he had no right even talking to him, let alone asking him things so personal.

Clenching his fists in his lap, the raven haired teen slowly turned his head to glare darkly at Naruto, his aura radiating malice as he narrowed his eyes. "You." He said simply, his voice shaking from the anger it held "Have no right, to ask me anything" Now, Uchiha's as it were, are reserved, well, he and his brother were. So they didn't shout, which meant what Naruto was hearing right now was one of the deadliest whispers known to man.

Naruto blinked, stunned that the young raven had reacted like this and felt himself shrinking under the gaze.

"H-Hey, Sasuke-bastard, I was just worried, sorry, never mind then," He said as he edged away slightly, smiling awkwardly before looking down.'Yeah... Something's definitely up... And he's starting to resemble Creep-man-Itachi, that's not a good sign,' he thought as he looked down at his hands. "Well, if you're up for it then, Kiba Shikamaru, Chouji and I were gonna go grab something to eat after school and hang out, so, if you want to come, you can," Naruto said, trying to-hopefully- change the subject.

Pushing back his anger, the Uchiha turned his head back down to his hands in his lap. He shouldn't have snapped, he knew it was rare for Naruto to be relatively quiet while talking to him, and he knew that the blonde would never tell anyone about what happened to Sasuke, it just wasn't in his nature, but he was still mad.

Sighing softly, Sasuke glanced back over to Naruto and shook his head "The last thing I want to see it the fat guy shoving his face full of food, besides, you said dog boy smelt, something I don't want to be near". In full honesty, it was the best excuse he could give Naruto, how was he meant to say even the thought of food at the moment was making him sick, and it wasn't that he didn't like food, the richness of it on his tongue was amazing, but he could never eat much any more, he guessed it might have something to do with home, just as Naruto had suspected, but he wasn't out to prove it. "They're your friends, stupid, not mine"

Itachi sighed, opening the door and holding his books, bag and everything else in one hand, the other locking his car after he'd shut the door, pocketing the key before turning, slinging his bag over his shoulder, books in hand as he started to walk off in the direction of the tree near the far end of the oval where the rest of his group was. He had no idea why he hung out with people, it just bothered him, especially the louder ones, like, Deidara, or Tobi, or Hidan, or when Deidara Hidan and Tobi fought. That was very loud. He shook his head. He didn't need hyper Tobi and Deidara near him, nor Hidan cursing like a mad cow, regardless if he was religious or not, he just couldn't cope with it today.

Standing next to their usual tree, the blue haired teen looked over to the Uchiha as he approached, before grinning and pushing away from the tree, placing his hands on his hips and looked at the Uchiha's 'more pissed than usual' walk. "S'wrong with you?" Kisame asked, his voice rumbling between them, showing his amusement

Itachi looked up, shooting a glare ahead before sighing. Oh. Just Kisame. He could stand him, after all, they were the next closest after Shisui and Sasuke. He simply sighed and shook his head. "Nothing to worry about, simply tired," he mumbled softly as he approached the blue haired teen, continuing to walk as he stared ahead at him.

Sometimes, that got pretty creepy the way he focused on one thing and knew everything that was going on around him. He then blinked and looked around. "Ah, peaceful, I take it Deidara's going to be late again, Hidan's got before school detention for cursing at another teacher and, hmm, where's the other noise maker, let me guess... Tobi is... Most likely trying to get Deidara to wake up by bashing the door point blank... Good, a silent morning at last," He mumbled as he stopped beside Kisame... Who was two times his height literally.

Chuckling softly, Kisame grinned widely, showing off his pointed teeth as he let his eyes roam over the Uchiha before him "Surely they can't annoy you that much, I find it quite amusing to watch them argue all day"

Itachi blinked and sighed. "It's amusing to see Hidan trying to tear Deidara's head off when he gets his lunch blown up or something, but, it gets very loud, and when you don't sleep, everything already seems magnified, so I don't need their shouting,"he mumbled as he stood beside Kisame.

Leaning back against the tree, Kisame looked out over the school grounds, humming softly before speaking "Boss wanted to see you, did you go to him?"

Itachi looked out over at the oval grounds, trying to scout more out before he blinked and turned to Kisame, nodding. "Yeah, he gave me the parcel, I'm just not sure I'll be able to do it without getting Sasuke involved, I don't want to hurt him, or Shisui, they can be trusted, it's just the rest I want dead," Itachi said softly in a dark tone as he looked back at Kisame.

Some, well, most of the Akatsuki knew of his will to kill his clan, but very few knew he was actually planning on it. And it made him slightly nervous to think the not violent Itachi Uchiha was plotting a man slaughter.

Nodding his head, the blue haired teen folded his arms over his chest as he looked thoughtful. Not many would have guessed by looking at him, but he was rather smart, just above average. "I don't think it would be good to have him near the house while you do it, maybe you should push him away, Itachi, it won't be easy, you know how attached he is to your parents even if he hates being near them. Force him to stay with a friend for a night or something like that" Mumbling off, Kisame looked up to the tree branches "You have to plan this carefully"

Itachi looked up at Kisame and sighed, sitting himself down and folding his arms, looking down and trying to hold back emotion. "Push Sasuke away?" He asked softly, blinking before shaking his head. As much as it would help the young boy, Itachi cared too deeply for Sasuke to push him away. He swallowed nervously. Maybe... He could find Shisui and speak to him about it? After all, having feelings for your brother wasn't exactly morally accepted. Itachi looked up at the skies, studying it before standing. "Do you know where Shisui is? I've got a private matter I need to speak with him about," Itachi said softly in a very business like fashion.

Looking at Itachi Kisame sighed and ran a hand through his own blue hair. It would need re dying soon, he just hoped Deidara wouldn't mind redoing it for him. The very first time he did his hair it turned his skin blue as well, something that he had been ridiculed for in his earlier years in school, some even said his skin still had that blue tint to it. "Yup, he should be in his bed right about now, you should have remembered, he's having today off, if you want to speak to him, you'll have to skip your usual morning in the library" It didn't surprise him that the Uchiha, who was known for his intelligence had forgotten.

After all. He was busy planning what would be the day that his parents would be brutally murdered.
