Sasuke do well in school, Sasuke you must work hard like father, Sasuke don't be a fool, Sasuke your brother will take up the company after, Sasuke never make useless requests, Sasuke get first place, Sasuke hide yourself always, Sasuke be the best.

Who will die this time? The victim, Itachi, is-

"Would it please your supreme highness to get the truck with the drunkard, the creepy stalkerish fangirl, and the he-she with questionable sexuality/gender out of here? Otherwise, we will be forced to fish out his organs with a kunai and donate them to people who need them, and your highness knows how much pain he will be in, knowing he has done some good for the world."

"Itachi, you jokester. Sakura just thinks of me as a friend, Naruto is drunk on ramen, and...wait, who's the he-she?"

"About that..."

"Why is Itachi the head of the company? I'm smarter and better than him!"

"Sasuke. Listen. Itachi is older. That means he must get the company first."

"Hey, Sasuke...I know we haven't talked a lot, but...we had the same father. Let's try to be friends, okay?"

"DO NOT TICKLE ME! AUGH! PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANT OR I'LL KILL YOU! YOU, YOU-ARACHNID!"

"Hey, where are you going? Come back here! Itachi! Come back now, Itachi, what do you think you're doing? Where are you going? Itachi! You're stupid, Itachi! I hate you!"

"Hello Itachi."

"Hello, little brother."

"Listen. I need you to kill somebody for me."

"Anything for you, little brother."

"You're the one who abandoned Uchiha Co, don't blame me, it's your own fault you're running around with a ragtag gang of savage outlaws. I could have arrested you, you know, and yet-"

"Silence. Who will die this time?"

"The victim is the woman you would have married. She abandoned you and hurt you. Those who hurt you must die. That is our family philosophy."

"Understood."

"Understand, Servant Two, that if you want to move up a rank to the highest Servant position, you must be ready to dedicate yourself fully to me. No petty things like friendships or families should get into your way."

"Understood."

"Listen up, Itachi, I need you again."

"Understood. Who will die this time?"

"The victims are that boy's parents, the blonde boy. Kill his parents if they refuse to give up the boy and adopt me instead."

Sasuke blinked and opened his eyes, rubbing his horrid headache. He laughed softly to himself. Even as a child he was cold, wasn't he? Oh, how his head hurt so much.

"Servant Fifty-Three!" He hollered. Naruto appeared, wearing a mask, but you could see him trembling and tell he was terrified. "My head hurts. Get me some ice for it."

"Sir-Sasuke, a person named Yagami Light has arrived," Naruto answered.

"Be quiet!" Sasuke yelled. "Hand me the phone!" He ordered. Naruto immediately walked over and handed it to him. "Servant One, please allow Yagami Light in and send him to my office-" Sasuke noticed Naruto fiddling with something on his arm out of the corner of his eyes. He hung up then narrowed his eyes at Naruto. "Gimme that!" He seized Naruto's hand then ripped a bracelet from it. "What's this?" He snarled, clenching it tightly.

"It's...something...Sakura made," Naruto whispered.

"Unimportant!" Sasuke threw it out the window, relishing the look of desperation in Naruto's face. "But...it was given to me by..." Naruto began, his voice strangled.

"Ask Sakura to make you another!" Sasuke answered indifferently. "Besides, it's fine, we're best friends, right?" He asked. Naruto began to answer "Uh-"

"Don't worry," Sasuke smirked. "I've replaced you with somebody better, so now you and Sakura can do whatever you want." He walked out, leaving Naruto speechless. "Oh yeah. And get me some coffee, Fifty-Three," he smirked and slammed the door.

As he entered his office he put up a grumpy look, while feeling secretly delighted.

"What? You're a bit impertinent, you know, thinking you can show up any time," he scolded Light, who just laughed. "You're bold, deciding to disturb when I'm extremely busy." Ah, it was nicer to have somebody who didn't obey him so much and yet had the perfect, exact, wonderful mindset and listened to him.

"Well, I like getting things done ahead of time," he smiled.

"Is that so? So do I," Sasuke grinned. "Looks like we have a lot in common, best friend."

"We really do!" Light laughed. "Master Uchiha, how about we get straight to killing this dangerous person?"

Master Uchiha. Better than Sasuke-kun. Sasuke liked the way that sounded.

"They left behind what I believe to be a pseudonym of Neo Van Erst and appear to know about my company from inside."

"How about we summon your Secretary and look at all of your Servants? Most likely, it will be one of them," Light suggested. "Including your assistant and former secretary."

"No, they're just my assistant and my former Secretary...they wouldn't be...smart enough," Sasuke argued.

"I insist," Light sighed, wiping a microscopic particle of dust off Sasuke's desk. "After all, we want to find this traitor as soon as possible, right?"

Sasuke gave in. "Alright," he answered. "I'll call in Naruto and Sakura as well."

"You mean Number Fifty-Three?" Light asked, raising an eyebrow. "Isn't he-"

"Naruto's more than that! He's-he's-" Sasuke realized who Naruto really was. "Yes, he's just a Servant."

"We need for you to get over how they betrayed you," Light said in an understanding, soothing voice. "Come on, Master Uchiha, let us go find the traitor. Why are you laughing?"

"Because," Sasuke covered his mouth while grinning, "you are just perfect, best friend."

"Sasuke, listen," Sakura spoke nervously, edging closer to him. Sasuke groaned and held his hand up to his head, which had started to throb even worser.

"Yes, Sakura?" Sasuke asked smoothly. Screams of pain and Light's were soothing, calm voice came from the room next to them. Sasuke had planned to leave her exempt.

"Now, now, please take your medicine," Light's serene, calming voice spoke. Sasuke felt proud of his best friend. "You needn't be afraid, only admit if you are the traitor." Servant One, who really was his Secretary wearing the Servant Mask with the title of Servant One helped him to "persuade" the other Servants.

"A-are you really sure this is a good idea?" She asked, clenching the folds in her red dress. "I mean...what if the traitor wasn't one of your Servants, and what if..." she closed her eyes then reopened them sadly, "you would accuse the wrong person? What if somebody died? Sasuke, I honestly believed in you, but-"

"Nothing to worry about, Sakura, my plan is foolproof, and Neo Van Erst must die, or I will," Sasuke answered.

"Sasuke...I agree with Neo Van Erst," Sakura answered. Sasuke's mouth dropped. "You need to stop what you're doing."

"You-agree-with him?" He demanded.

"I-" Sakura was seized by Servant One.

"You are next!" He roughly shoved her into the room. Sakura screamed.

Sasuke was about to protest not to hurt Sakura, when he felt a weight on his shoulder and saw Light grimly leaning his hand on him.

"That is why we must," Light spoke, "not fall prey to their betraying words."

Sasuke nodded grimly. "They're all fake," he whispered. "Nobody cares. None of them."

Light stayed with him awhile and they watched the door close and the screams of pain as Servant One broke limbs again and again and tortured the Servants. It was sort of nice, sort of like how Itachi would sit with him and they'd just tiredly watch television together, just comfortable to be together and be in each other's presence. Of course, Itachi before he became a traitor and abandoned him. Sasuke blinked.

"You won't leave, will you?" He asked Light.

"I..." Light stared ahead. "Why would I leave you, Master Uchiha?" He asked, his voice a little less soothing than usual but just as good.

"That's what I thought," Sasuke nodded. "You shall replaced Naruto and Saukra's duties as you clearly are better than both of them."

After that, he noticed little things like how Sakura would come crying to Naruto, or how Naruto now looked at him with a cold look. Sasuke scoffed. Light was better, anyway, and those two were worthless and stupid and not worth him. Sasuke's head hurt even worse, and maybe even a spot in the left of his chest, but he knew it would all be over soon enough.

"Master Uchiha," Light walked towards him, "I found the traitor."

"Excellent," Sasuke spoke.

"His name is Naruto Uzumaki."

Sasuke's upper lip curled into a sneer. "Well, that makes up for that horrid headache I have."

"I'll get some ice. Somebody! Please get Master Uchiha some ice and-"

"I only respond to the commands of Uchiha-san," Servant One's monotonous voice replied over the intercom. "Oh," an embarrassed Light started to apologize, but Sasuke interrupted and said "It's fine, obey his commands from now on, Servant One. I trust Light."

"Oh, thanks," Light answered sheepishly scratching his head, "I didn't know-"

"It's fine, just make sure you don't make any more mistakes," Sasuke pretended to be irritated and went back to his computer. "My mother died in a fire rescuing me. So, about Uzumaki," he sneered.

"I suggest we take proper revenge and give him all he deserves," Light hissed. "Somebody who dared betray Master Uchiha should surely become a symbol for those who even think of speaking against you." All thoughts of quick, secret shootings or heart attacks left Sasuke's mind.

"Yes," Sasuke agreed, "why don't we? Let's escort him to a secret location and get it taken care of. And," he smirked, "since I've wiped away his parents, nobody but Sakura would notice. And Sakura's death certificate has been signed."

There was an odd silence from Light, who leaned against the wall with his arms and legs crossed. "Did you hear me?" He asked.

"Oh, yes, of course," Light answered. "I did the same thing too."

"Really?" Sasuke smirked.

"Yes," Light answered nervously. "S-some kids who called me stupid," he looked at the ground.

"Don't worry about those pieces of...seashells by the seashore," Sasuke took out a cigarette and lit it. "After you get used to it, your killings won't matter any more. As long as you make them normal, you won't have to worry about them. Besides, I can protect you, my best friend," he turned around and smiled at Light. Light nervously smiled back.

"Are you ready to punish the traitor?" Light asked.

"Yes," Sasuke answered. "Tell me, Light. Do you have anyone you want to die?"

Light stared at him.

"I'm Kira," he answered simply.

"No, no, not a criminal," Sasuke laughed. "I don't mean death, like when you watch somebody leave forever and you never will see them again. I mean when you watch somebody...slowly bleeding out...and begging for mercy, begging forgiveness for all their wrongs. As Kira, I guess you don't get too much of that privilege, as you can't afford to silence witnesses and you can't kill anybody near you without being suspected."

Light was silent for a while. "Evil people," he answered.

Sasuke smirked. "Like me? I'll admit, I'm quite the pain in the neck...very arrogant, very manipulative, very greedy...would you like for me to die? " he smiled.

"I..."

"I wouldn't mind dying," Sasuke took a drag. Light was silent a while. "I just regret not being able to watch Itachi go down. He sure was a...Kokua."

"Hm?" Light asked, confused.

"Oh, sorry, old habit," Sasuke coughed.

"We should go kill the traitor," Light answered uncomfortably.

Sasuke laughed. "Whatever you say, best friend," he stood up, "I agree completely!"

He threw the cigarette into the trash.

Servant One entered the room, dressed as a chauffeur. "Excuse me, is that smoke I smell?"

"Of course not," Sasuke grinned wildly, seizing Light's arm and hauling him along. "You know I hate smoke, Servant One. Now, let us go!"
