One Boy and His Secret

There's always been a thing going around in families some call 'Sibling Rivalry' but from around these parts it's rarely seen as for me, I have an older brother, one that as always been there for and could never hate truly.

Breakfast mornings during the week were never my favourite time since it was a darn school day! School would be great if I didn't have one problem…

"Sasuke-Kun!" screamed Sakura the most annoying as I walked up the school drive way

"3…2…1…" I said mentally,

"Hey billboard get out of the way!" ran in Ino shoving Sakura away, I rolled my eyes followed by 'tut', Ino then smilied towards me, it hit me like a needle would…painfully

"Morning girls" I teased, maybe if I didn't entice them so much they'd leave me alone but I needed to break some bodies heart Fuahah. Sakura and Ino followed behind me like so dumb ass sheep as I headed to class there wasn't one day I was ever late, on time, on the dot, on the hour.

First up was Biology, with a very odd Sensei who we knew out side of school as Kisame. He kind of look down all the time, I'd never seen some one so blue…

Seating went, first row first seat was empty, then Kiba, then Gaara and finally on the end was Hinata happily placed in front of Naruto as you guessed the second row, then blank, then Lee and my seat was next…creepy eyebrow guy creped me out, like the Gym teacher Guy Sensei! Third row, yup you guessed it Sakura right behind and Ino, then Neji and some foreign exchange guy called Haku, last row was made up of Temari, Shika, Shino and finally last but not least TenTen the class Tom boy, the room always filled quickly as nobody like what Kisame Sensei did in detention, yatter on about some aquatic life…

"Settle down class, Settle down" yelled Kisame hitting a stick on his desk to shut us all up, after we did he placed his stick next a fish bowl with one little gold fish he named Sarah.

"Now who can tell me what kind of environment the clown fish lived in" as far as fish were concerned, he ruled them all, yeah I know boring! I said to myself snoring in my head. I hated waiting for lessons to end; I just wanted to go home like the rest of teens here we all had places to be if you caught my drift…Like Naruto would probably be straight of to Ichiraku's ramen stand, Ino back to her shop, Kiba to the local wood for walkies. Me I had one place in mind, home, sweet home. Home to the tender loving care of my Brother, Itachi or as I called him when I was younger Tachi-chan he really hated that name but like all bad things he got used to it. My fondest memories were of Itachi.

*Flash Back – To when I was Five*

I was running happily in our flowery garden chasing after a brown little squirrel that had wondered helplessly into my garden, my Nii-san sat laid back in his deck chair reading his favourite book 'Romeo and Juliet' under the shining sun

"Imma get you little fury thing!" I said giggling in my childish voice – well I was five – when suddenly, when I wasn't paying any attention to where I was running, I tripped on a loose flag stone, falling onto my front grazing my knee, I sat and held my knee, softly beginning to sob, tears slowly filled my eyes till they dropped, rolling down my rosy cheeks,

"Sasuke-chan?" I heard, Itachi had put his book down as he had heard my cries "Aww dear, come here let me take a took" he said coming over to me,

"Tachi-Nii chan…it hurts…" I sniffled, watching my knee bleed its crimson blood

"It's okay little brother it's only a surface wound, it'll be as good as new in a few says" smiled Itachi warmly, I smiled back as I hugged my older brother as he patted my head running his fingers to say 'There, there I'm here you need not cry any more'

"Thank you big brother…"

*End Flash back*

"Sasuke-san, pay attention I don't want to have to keep you behind!" yelled Kisame as I came to I had blushed slightly in my own thoughts,

"Yes Sensei!" I yelped. This lesson always the longest but the end wasn't a good thing; I had wood work next with Sasori-Sensei his mind pretty much filled with sawdust. The cut a long draggy story short. I had double maths the P.E last so by the time class ended I saw slightly sweaty after so much hard work demanded by freak brows Guy-Sensei, stupid lesson were the only one who was ever complemented was Lee a Mini younger version of our teacher…

I wanted to go straight home for a shower, stopped in my tracks in my great escape by none other than my blonde maths and Biology buddy, Naruto.

"Hey Naruto" I frowned trying to not think about what I smelt like,

"Us and some of the guys are getting together wanna come along…?" he asked me, I shook my head,

"Sorry Naruto, I have some where I need to be" he frowned at me as if to say he was disappointed,

"Common' don't be a spoil sport, we just wanted do a little singing, every one suggested that you came along….having the freaking best voice…." He said grinding his teeth, he did it loud enough. My head tilted a little,

"Really…? You think I have the best voice?" I saw Naruto grin I knew he was going to win me over some how,

"The freaking-est" he said.

"Can you at least let me shower at home Naruto, I'll be over right after…where are we meeting…?" I asked,

"At Naru's home"

"Ha, Shika actually agreed to this" I laughed,

"Shocking isn't it, the response was the best when we asked 'It's a drag but I guess we could you my loft'" chuckled Naruto.

"Alright, I'll be there as soon as I have gotten out of my school clothes and had a shower" I said, running of I didn't wave I knew Naruto understood. I hadn't waved since my parents died all them years ago; at their funeral was my final wave, a sad slow one…

Any way, I went straight home to get ready. First to my room where I dumped my school bag and Gym kit my room was never tidy I told Itachi it was an art project for Deidara-Sensei, expect I never got round to buying a camera ha-ha. Speaking of my brother, I wonder where he was I didn't see him usually he was sat in the living room watching the end of Jeremy Kyle show but nothing, the T.V wasn't even on. After a brief whine, I headed for the bathroom, paying no attention I just walked in,

"Oh crap, Sorry Itachi!" I yelped madly blushing as my brother sat in the bath "I didn't know…I'll go now…!" I ran instantly out my heart pounding through my rib cage,

"Be more careful next!" I heard Itachi say, he didn't yell it just sort of warned me. I leaning back against the wall slowly moving down it till I was sat down. My cheeks burned, I breathed heavier than normal. Seeing his pale clear skin, his masculine shoulders…his perfect hair…a murky grey colour…

What was I doing, this was my brother I was talking about! But still…I wasn't an idiot at 15 you know what's what, and I knew right there and then…I had some thing for my brother…all this time spent with him, all the good times we had we were brothers doing what brothers did best, he looked out for me and I did my best not to disappoint him, now I felt it was my turn to watch over him in a way.

"Naruto! I forgot!" I yelped.

No time to wait for Itachi to get out of the bath, when he was in, he was in! I took to the kitchen sink only taking my shirt off just to wash my upper body. I had to rush not only because I was getting later, but because I didn't want my brother seeing me using the sink was a bath/shower. Final touches to my appearance included going into the mirror and grooming my hair, taking the comb through my locks of dark blue hair. I never took much pride in anything else, my hair was more important to me.

I wonder what sound I should sing for the guys…something slow and nice I couldn't be bothered with anything heavy right now my mood wasn't right…I was busy thinking…about my angel of my heart...
