Unexpected changes

Chapter 3 – The Uchiha's


The young raven haired man didn't like what he'd just read. Not one bit. He looked at the man who was standing in his large room, leaning on the wall next to his door. The man he had to call had father looked curiously at him like he was expected him to say something. Still, his son could only look at his father and frown. What sort of joke was this? First he stormed into his room, without knocking while he was reading and now this.

He didn't like to be disturbed while he was reading. At first he thought it was his annoying little brother. He never knocked.

When he had seen that it wasn't his little brother but his father, he was surprised, although he didn't let it show. The raven haired man never let anyone see his emotions; it made a person easy to read and that was a dangerous thing in the world of business. His face was, most of the time, blank. If his old man would retire he would be head of the company Uchiha. His father always expected that of him, his first born. Thought he already had his own job to worry about. Working at the police force wasn't a simple mind job. Sometimes Itachi barely slept. The young Uchiha didn't mind. To be completely honest he thought it would suit him well.
Still if he got some spare time he would help his father with his work since Itachi was also good with numbers.

But he just couldn't agree with this, not with this.

"Itachi," his old man called. "Well?"

Itachi looked from the contract to his father and raised an eyebrow.

"What do you expect me to say, father?" He asked with a calm smooth voice.

"…Will you sign it?" He said. The young man could hear the light irritation in his voice.

"Why?" Again calm. It was almost too calm.

"Why?" His father repeated.

Itachi ignored him. "I guess this is once again the result from one of your bets." He threw the contract towards his father. It landed right before his father's feet. Fugaku looked irritated.

"I will not sign it. I'm not playing one of your mindless games," Itachi said, bored. "I'm not getting married, especially if it's to a guy." Itachi never was a person that even thought about marriage. It didn't suit him.

Fugaku scratched his neck. "Well, we actually first thought it was a girl…" He said admitting his slight mistake. "Anyway nobody actually knows about this. Only I and four people at my work, the Uzumaki's and two of his people at his work, "He cleared his throat." and also a few people who will make it official."

Itachi almost flinched at his last words. "And mother and Sasuke?"

Fugaku didn't answer immediately. "They also will not know about it."

He could understand if he didn't tell Sasuke, but even his mother? She was bound to find out somehow. He stared at the contract that still was on the ground. He also noticed the two already signed signatures. One of them was from his father and the other was definitely from the father of this guy he supposed to marry.

"I see the other man has already signed. Would he just simply let his son marry to some stranger?" He said more to himself then to his father.

"Well he had to sign or else he had to quit his oh so great job." Fugaku mocked. "I guess he wouldn't be able to pay his rent of his two luxury apartments and his son's school anymore," the old man said simply while looking away. Itachi looked at him suspiciously. He sensed his father was really uncomfortable when he said that. It almost sounded that he was hiding something. When Fugaku noticed his stare he raised an eyebrow. "What?"

Itachi shrugged. "It is just weird that the other man already signed like he didn't care at all." Not if that it wasn't that of a surprise. There were a lot of assholes if it came to business. Itachi thought while he glared at his father for a moment.

The old Uchiha ignored his glare. He was used to his glares anyway. "Well I gave him one week to think about but he already sighed. Don't tell me why." He shrugged.

"So why do I and the… other guy have to sign this? It was your stupid game and we weren't there. You just can't involve other people in it." This really irritated him. "Why do we have to play along?" Itachi said with a slight irritation in his voice.

Fugaku mentally groaned, "Because Minato convinced me that you guys would have to sign too, since it's your future. And come on... Isn't about time you got married?" He added.

The old man was avoiding his questions.

"You're growing soft father." Fugaku looked confused for a moment but then he knew what his son meant. That he was convinced that easily. Fugaku was never that easy. In fact he was a very stubborn person. It was only because the blond used to be his old school pal or more like his rival. Years after their granulation- "He sighed."He even helped him with that case. Just the thought of it made him slightly shiver.

After a while the young man spoke again.

"Minato is the father of that guy?" It was almost like he was talking to himself again.

"Yes, Uzumaki Minato. Why?"

Itachi stared at hands while he was in thought."…Sounds familiar."

"Well sure it does. He is a high class businessman, a very good one if I say myself. Too bad he isn't working for us."

Itachi remembered, but there was somewhere else he heard the name 'Uzumaki'.

Then a bell rang in his head. His little brother sometimes talked about a person named Uzumaki; that he was an annoying blond and thought he was better then everyone and they often had competitions at gym. It almost sounded like they were rivals. He tried to remember the name and after a few seconds, it hit him.

"…Uzumaki Naruto." He muttered.

Fugaku frowned. "You know him?"

"He is in the same class as Sasuke."

The older man frowned."Really now, never known."

Of course he didn't know, like he could give a damn about Sasuke and his school. Itachi was already getting tired of this so he reached for his book and started to read again. Itachi sat on his large bed with one leg over the other and his back against the white wall. He looked quite relaxed.

His father waited impatiently while looking at his son. Then the old man asked the same question he asked a moment ago.

"Well? Will you sign it? Or should I call the Uzumaki's and tell them that the deal is already off?"

Itachi actually doubted that the kid called Naruto would actually sign. He would be a complete idiot if he signed the contract.

-Not far away a kid called Uzumaki Naruto signed the contract-

Nobody could love his father that much. Well… he definitely couldn't.

"…We'll see," was his short answer. He had a week after all. Maybe he would be able to find some kind of benefit in this whole marriage thing. Naruto's father was a businessman after all and nobody knew about the contract, only a couple people. And when he got what he wanted, he always could arrange a divorce… and if there wasn't anything special, he always could divorce right away.

Somehow Fugaku knew what he was thinking about. "You can't divorce right away because it would be too easy for Uzumaki Minato. He simply just has to sign it like his son and then after it is official, quickly get a divorce." He grunted. "So it has to be at least a half a year." He said it like it was just a normal thing to say.

Itachi looked at him. "There was nothing in the contract about that," he spoke, yet calm again.

"Well no, but I have arranged that if you guys want to divorce you first have to ask for my signature. And no, you can't fake it I; already made sure of that."

What did he mean by that?

"So you already prepared everything?" The raven haired man asked.

"Of course. You never know, right." Fugaku said but his voice sounded a little darker than normal. "Besides you could always find some useful things for our company." Itachi of course already thought of that. But when his father said it sounded so… devilish. But he nodded.

So that was the plan.

"…Maybe."

There was a short silence between them, begging to be broken.

"Well anyway," his father started. "I'm going to visit your mother so watch out for Sasuke, for me."

His father and mother had divorced five years ago but his father still visited her once in a while. He would have to travel a lot because his mother didn't live nearby. Itachi actually didn't care but you could say that Sasuke was almost heartbroken when he heard that their parents were going to get divorced. Sasuke loved his mother very much. He knew that his little brother visits his mother more than his father would.

Itachi ran a hand through his dark hair. "The brat is nineteen years old. He can take care of himself."

"Not because of that band of his. They are pulling him in all sorts of trouble." Fugaku shot back.

Itachi sighed. When he was at his father's house, like now, he often could hear his brother play the guitar. The little brat wasn't an amateur or anything it just was really annoying. Itachi easily could hear him practice through the walls.

"...So you'll think about it?"

"Hn." Fugaku took this as a 'yes'.

There was nothing to talk about now. Fugaku never asked Itachi how his day was or what he was planning for the weekend. He wasn't that kind of a father.

Fugaku left the room, closing the door behind him.

Itachi was trying to read again and do some paperwork. But he couldn't. His eyes focused on something else.

He looked at the contract, still untouched on the floor. A sharp groan was heard as he slowly stood up from his bed to pick up the piece of paper and walked to his suitcase to put it in. We'll see. Then the phone suddenly rang. Itachi laid the contract on his desk and was about to go to the living room when he heard Sasuke. "I'll get it!"

A moment later Sasuke swung his door open, again without knocking. Itachi glared at him and just like dad, Sasuke ignored it.

"Phone for you." After he gave the phone to his brother Itachi still glared at him.

"Knock little brother, knock." He growled.

Sasuke just shrugged and said fine, like he always did and always forgot or he just didn't care. So why would Itachi still warn him? Then Sasuke left the room.

"Itachi speaking."

"Hey, it's me." The person coughed.

Shisui? Never expected him to call.

"What can I do for you?" Itachi asked politely.

A heavy cough was heard again. "Itachi, I know it is weekend, but you know that I still have to work at the weekends." Again a cough was heard. That didn't sound healthy at all. "And I guess you already noticed that I'm not feeling well."

Yup he's going to ask that.

"So…" Shisui started. But Itachi cut him off.

"You'll need to find a replacement for the weekend and you couldn't find anyone else because they were all too busy. So you called me. Right?"

A few seconds went by. "Yeah. Sort of. I heard you were really good at handling problems last time." Itachi heard a soft laugh through the phone.

"So can you do it? If you're too busy I'll understand."

Shisui was Itachi's best friend. Yes, he had a best friend. They'd known each other since high school. Itachi wasn't… how should you say it, a very talk active person. But somehow Shisui could read his mind like it was nothing. Well others though he was the biggest mystery ever. Of course that attracted many girls; that of course was very annoying. Not to mention also a few boys…

It surprised Itachi and he wasn't easily surprised. The only different was that Shisui was a little more open, actually a lot more than Itachi. The Uchiha respected him.

"What's in it for me?" Itachi asked.

"Uhm… a big friendly hug?"

Honestly Itachi wanted to roll his eyes. "No."

"Aw come on Itachi. You know I would do the same for you."

"…Not really."

"Yes I would!" The raven haired man could almost imagine him pouting now. Then Shisui coughed again.

Itachi sighed as he brushed a few dark hair locks away. "Fine. When?"

"Well actually it's only tomorrow. I'm already at my work now and I told my people that you were coming tomorrow. I made a list an-…"

"What?"

"Well let me finish first then ask questions."

"No, it's not that. You already informed your people that I was coming tomorrow?"

"Well you know that I always can count on you Itachi. Looks like I was right." Shisui laughed. Itachi could feel the tension. He was getting a little nervous. Then the raven haired man heard a heavy cough again and sighed obviously very irritated.

Shisui spoke again. "I'll leave a list on the desk okay?"

"Fine."

"Yes! Thank you Itachi. Did I already tell you you're my best buddy?" Shisui didn't hear a reply, only a beeping sound. Itachi already hung up.

His eyes were again fixed on the contract. First he needed information about both Uzumaki's. He could search through files to see this Uzumaki's Naruto. But numbers and letters wouldn't say anything. So the only thing he could do was something he preferred rather not to. He would ask for information.

Information from someone he rather not go to; his little brother.

He knew more about Naruto then a few stupid files would; they had been in the same class for some time. It wouldn't hurt to ask anyway but he hoped his brother would keep it down. He remembered he would always raise his voice when he talked about him. Was that blond that annoying?

Itachi walked out of his room, walking through the living room to Sasuke's room. He could already hear his guitar. Father's house was large and so was the living room. There had big couches and many lamps. They even had a bar and the kitchen was as large as the living room. Imagine how the bathroom would look like…

Father always had a luxurious taste and would always show off about how great his home was and that he got a bar in his house and many other things. Who cares? Many had bars in their house or even a swimming pool. Well… the people that Itachi knew.

Once he was in front of Sasuke's door, he knocked.

"Yeah?" Was his brother's reply.

Itachi opened the door and saw Sasuke on his bed playing on his black guitar.

Sasuke looked surprised. It wasn't very often that his brother came to his room. He raised an eyebrow.

"How can I help you my dear brother?" said Sasuke. The older Uchiha could easily hear the sarcasm.

Itachi ignored it. "Uzumaki," Was his brother's only reply.

Sasuke frowned and stared at his brother for a moment. "You mean Uzumaki Naruto? What about him?"

"…Tell me about him." He answered shortly.

The younger Uchiha actually looked a bit surprised. Then he glared. "Why?"

"Just tell me Sasuke."

"Are you planning to fuck up somebody's life again?"

Itachi glared at him. Sasuke stopped playing and just glared back.

Silence…

"If you won't tell me I'll tell father and mother you're on drugs."

Sasuke immediately stood up. "I'm not on drugs you bastard!"

"Who do you think they're going to believe? I don't lie that easily." Lie.

Sasuke growled and Itachi smirked.

"I will tell them you are fucking with daughters from men who own big companies! Only to get fucking information!"

Silence…

Itachi shrugged. Not that was entirely untrue. "Go ahead. I bet dad already knows, and I don't care what mother will think."

Sasuke didn't know what to say anymore. His older brother was just a cold bastard with no heart.

"Naruto is just a hyperactive moron… well in school. I don't know how he acts outside school. He always thinks he's better than me. He hangs out a lot with this guy named Kiba, also in my class. And he likes ramen."

Itachi raised an eyebrow. "…That's it?"

"Yeah, that was it." Sasuke lied. "What did you expect? Like I would know a lot about some moron."

Itachi thought for a moment. He knew that Sasuke knew more but he didn't really felt like pushing him. He was too tired even when it only was like 13:00 PM. He still had lots of paperwork to do. Itachi sighed. Fine he would find it out anyway, one way or another.

He looked straight in the eyes of his little brother.

"That will do… for now."

Sasuke frowned. For now? Did that bastard actually think that he would tell more? Sure he thought the blond was quite annoying but it always meant trouble when Itachi asked for information about a person and he didn't want any part of it. So he would tell as little as possible.

"Why are you so interested in him anyway?" Sasuke asked suddenly.

"None of your business," he simply said.

Sasuke growled again. Itachi just ignored it and was about to leave when a voice stopped him.

"If you fuck up his life… you will deeply regret it, brother." The younger Uchiha hissed.

Itachi turned around a bit. "So the little worm actually got teeth." Itachi smirked and Sasuke glared again. Yes this wasn't going to end well.

"What the matter Sasuke? You actually care for the boy? I thought he just was a simple moron… Maybe you have more in common then you think."

Sasuke took a few steps towards his brother. "He may be an annoying moron but that isn't going to give you the right to fuck up his life or fuck up anyone's life."

"How sweet, my little brother actually has a heart…" He saw Sasuke greeted his teeth. Really now, his little brother was so easy to provoke. "And who said I was going to?"

"I would have more of a heart than you ever will have." Sasuke said while he took another step closer to his brother. "I could already smell the stench of trouble when you walked in here! He's my classmate so if anyone could mess with him it should be me." Sasuke said while pointed with his thumb to himself.

It was Itachi turn to glare back now. "Watch it Sasuke. My patience has limits." He said in a dark voice.

The younger Uchiha would know better than to test his brother's patience. The last time he did it, he was lucky to get away with a few bruises. God he hated him. Sasuke was really pissed. He wasn't weak or anything but he never won against his brother. God he hated that.

Itachi didn't expect an answer after that so he walked out his brother's room and closed the door behind him. Then he heard a mumble from Sasuke's room. A mumble he wasn't supposed to hear, but did.

"Stupid weasel."

Yes. Sasuke could be childish sometimes

"…You're such a little child Sasuke."

Itachi heard another mumble that sounded like; bastard and then something was thrown on the other side of the door. Whatever it was, it was broken now.

He heard Sasuke curse and smirked.

Sasuke thought it was strange. Really strange. He thought while he picked up what was left of his cup and threw it in the garbage can. It annoyed Sasuke that his brother could easily piss him off. How in god's sake can he stay so calm? What was he? A robot?

Also why was his brother so interested in Naruto? He knew that Naruto's father was a businessman but he wasn't the head of his company. So why? He wasn't an important person. Well not at least to Itachi.

Many questions but no answers.

Itachi only would approach people that could be used to him and his father's benefits.

Sasuke wanted to find out. He actually never was interested what his brother would do. But this involved a classmate that he had known for a long time.

Yes the blond was an idiot. Yes the blond also thought that of him and yes, they weren't that fond of each other. But when they were alone, Sasuke noticed that Naruto acted different to him, he actually did the same.

And when their eyes met, Sasuke could have sworn he always saw a flicker of pain and joy at the same time. Naruto was a person who had many secret emotions.

He was more than meets the eye. And he wasn't going to let Itachi fuck up his life; if that really was his true intentions... The young Uchiha sat down on his bed started to play again.

He would talk to Naruto and warn him what could be coming. When? Sunday he had to go practice with his band…

School started on Monday. He would try it after school.

He hoped that Kiba wasn't near him when he wanted to talk to him. He was really protective of the blond everyone knew that. Kiba was really strong; he noticed that turning gym, had a badass attitude, had many friends and knew many people.

The brunette almost seemed to act like he was his big brother or something.

Naruto seemed lucky to have such a strong person by his side. But that wouldn't stop Itachi.


A/N

Another chapter done. Yes, Itachi is a cold-hearted bastard and Sasuke will be a more talkative person and a more open person. But don't worry, Itachi will slowly change, and of course that will take time.

So this was a chapter only about the Uchiha's. About the relationship between Itachi and his father and Sasuke between his brother. Of course they don't like each other that much.

So I hope you liked it.
