"Then please by all means continue." The priest said fully attentive waiting for the rest of the Uchiha's rattling story.
"Sure but first, do you happen to have a glass of water?" sasuke asked knowing very well he didn't and grinned when he heard the priest hurriedly trying to find some.
"I'm sorry, child, but perhaps we can forget about worldly items while we deal with your spiritual ones?" the priest offered trying to keep the Uchiha on topic.
"Your right..."the Uchiha said letting the priest win for now. "Lets see... where was I?" he said actually forgetting for a moment.
"Hinata was taking the young man to his new job." the priest threw out hoping it would click in Sasuke's head.
"Oh yes... well this is where it all started falling together. This is the good part." he said hissing out the words of excitement. Sasuke clearly heard the priest twitch in his seat.
"Well he..here it is." Hinata said pulling up the long driveway to a beautiful 4 floored mansion. They got out of the car and walked up to the door together looking up at the giant building that was towering over both of them. Naruto reached up and knocked on the door. He heard the 'knock' echo back to him as the door was then slowly opened. A tall man stepped forward wearing a black tux and a tie around his neck. Looking downward you could see the continual clash of black as his shoes and pants were also this color.
"This is the Uchiha Mansion." he said his deep loud voice echoing through the halls of the (what seemed to be) empty house. "Do you have an appointment or may I be of some assistance to you?" he asked finally opening his eyes to look down upon the 2 teenage kids who were standing before him.
"Hey old man!" came the reply from naruto's mouth. "Don't tell me you already forgot who I am." he said playfully. He reached his hand up and ruffled his hair a little. Making his appearance a bit more thuggish looking.
"Oh Naruto-San. Please excuse my obliviousness and step inside." the butler said moving aside and letting the bounding boy in along with the girl accompanying him. They were shown to a sitting room and asked to wait here while he went and got the master. The butler walked up the stairs to the second floor and stopped by the forth door on his left. He went to knock but paused when he heard voices coming from inside.
"I don't know.." a grown woman's voice said. "Ins and outs, things that need fixing, do our running around, maybe even cook and clean depending on what he is capable of. I sent Henry (the butler) to go pick out a strong talented lad. Someone he himself would work good with. This will just be temporary until your father gets back from his meeting in the Cloud Village. He will do anything you say also, if he doesn't we will throw him out and get a new one ok?" the woman finished taking a deep breathe and sighing as she got more comfortable.
"Fine but if he messes up once I will personally give him a beating he will never forget. Remember how long it took to "train" Henry?" he said in a tone that a person would use when referring to a pet.
"Yes but now he wouldn't ever think of betraying us. He is our most loyal servant." she said not letting this go.
"Whatever might as well go and meet the brat. Do you know anything about him?" he asked hoping for some background information to start off a discouraging conversation with the boy.
"Well he is supposedly going to your school, but that's all I know." she said throwing her words out cheerfully. "He should be here any minute now"
"My school huh? That means it could be anyone...in any grade. This could be interesting." he said pausing then quickly continued with "He better hurry up and not keep me waiting." The butler saw a pause and thought it best to enter now before the master got inpatient. He knocked and waited for the signal to come in.
"Yes?" said the woman getting to her feet.
"Your new servant has arrived and is waiting in the sitting room." the butler said
"Very good, we will be down shortly. Henry go wash my car, some teenager got mud on it today." she said despising the brown haired kid that had soared past her without consideration while his dog was howling loudly beside him.
"Yes madam, anything else?" he asked with all the respect he could muster.
"No that will be all. Thank you Henry." with that he turned and left closing the door as he headed in the direction of the garage. The boy and woman got to their feet.
"I'm going to take to my room and read a little." the older woman said. "Please go great the new servant kindly and send him off to go do something." she said smiling as she left the room, but not before she heard the mumbled "whatever" her son had mumbled out. The boy walked down the stairs but stopped half way when he heard the commotion going on downstairs.
"S..STOP!!" hinata shouted at the blond who was tossing an antique vase around marvelously. "Don't worry I won't break it." was the only reply that came from the golden boy's lips. "I...I said put it DOWN!!!" she yelled at Naruto who stopped what he was doing.
"Fine" he said setting the vase back down. "Now what can I do?" he said. That thoughtful finger returning to his chin. "I GOT IT!!" he yelled out when an idea finally popped into his head.
"I'll juggle!" he said excitedly running around.
"Ju...juggle?" Hinata said confused but soon found out what he meant when he picked up not 1...not 2..but 3 antique vases. "What are yo..you doing?" she said panicking a little wishing she had brought someone else with her to help control the bundle of energy in front of her. He was carelessly tossing the priceless vases into the air without even thinking about consequences.
"PUT THEM DOWN!" came a voice from the stairs. Naruto looked up so sharply and shocked he forgot what he was doing and missed a vase. Time slowed down to almost a complete stop for Hinata. Her mind raced. He missed one! He will be torched painfully by the Uchihas! Damn that stupid boy!! Damn Damn Da.. her thoughts were cut short as another Naruto appeared from no where and caught the vase with his pinkie. The other 2 were also caught by the clone, 1 with his open hand and the other with his foot.
"Thank you, Thank you! I'll be here all week." he said grinning at his performance. The unexpected twist at the end made the show all the better he thought. His huge grin continued to widen past human capabilities as both Naruto's bowed.
"You won't be here one more day if you act like that!" the voice from the stairs snapped glaring sharply at the boy who now had a confused look on his face. Naruto surveyed the strange voice that had taken his fun away and noticed this person also was wearing all black.
"You must be the person I am to work for." Naruto said becoming a little more serious. His clone placed the vases back and poofed away while Naruto fixed his appearance. He straightened his shirt and brushed his hair down with his hand.
"I am Uzimaki Naruto and I..." naruto was cut off by that black blob on the stairs.
"I don't care who you are or where your from. You are my slave and will do what your told when your told. If you do not follow these rules you will be severely punished by me personally and shipped away to rot somewhere." the figure said sharply stepping into the light.
"Oh and I will enjoy punishing you!" he said evilly as he continued to walk down the stairs.
"When you are called you will come. You do not have the right to talk to any one in this house except to the filth we let live here to do our bidding. Someone of the same status as you." he said deepening his control over the boy. Wait naruto thought to himself. Did he just call me and the butler filth? He went to say something but thought better of it and closed his mouth. The man smirked as he saw the boy debating what he should do.
"Now, I am Itachi Uchiha. You are a temporary wash cloth that I will put up with until my father gets back. If I hear you have broken any of the rules I have now set.." he paused letting the wait torture the boy. "You will be thrown away." he finished glaring at the blond who had no emotions in his face anymore. Thrown away? Naruto struggled those words into his brain trying to comprehend their meaning. Does he not think I am on the same level as him? Naruto said getting angry with what Itachi was implying.
"You are not on the same level as me Uzimaki." Itachi said reading the blue eyed teenagers mind. "You are but a tool to use..." he started to walk away but noticed the redness rising in the boys face so he added. "Anyone of us can use you. My mother, me, or my brother." he said this knowing it would hit a nerve that the boy was a tool to be used.
"Oh and do not talk to my brother. He might be the same age as you and go to your school but he is much higher than trash like you. Now go wash the dishes in the sink or something. If they aren't spotless you will be sorry." he added before sticking nose in the air away from the trash below him and walking back up stairs. Naruto's face was scarlet by this time and he swallowed hard before looking at the scared Hinata and saying,
"Thanks Hinata for bringing me here but you can leave now." he squeaked out holding the anger inside him trying to fight it out of his system. He managed a half smile and Hinata left hoping everything would be ok. Naruto went into the kitchen and took his jacket off leaving his black undershirt (which sort of suited him because of the house he was staying in) to tightly grip his flat stomach. He started washing the dishes loudly while cursing the Itachi character under his breath. He was almost finished with the piles of dirty dishes that he had just washed when he was interrupted by none other then his classmate, Sasuke. His temper was calm now and he was just trying to finish so he could go over to Skylers house like he said he would. What was Sasuke doing in a place like this? Naruto asked himself noticing the same confused look on Sasuke who was asking himself the same question. Naruto smiled and opened his mouth to say something but snapped in shut when Itachi entered behind him.
"Well here he is. Our new rag boy." Itachi smirked knowing quite well that they had met and held a conversation. Itachi also knew that Sasuke acted differently at school then he did at home. He knew at home Sasuke had to hold the families name intact by being evil.
"Well aren't you going to say anything little brother?" Itachi said walking over to Naruto and pulling his head back by grabbing a bundle of the boys golden locks. Naruto's temper was back on his face but refrained from taking action on his feelings.
"Why is he here?" sasuke growled at his brother who hissed with delight.
"I already told you, this garbage is here to pick up the work that will need to be done while father's gone. You may use him however you like when I'm not around." Itachi continued dragging Naruto's head around by his hands. He finally let go of the boy and walked over to the poorly washed dishes that Naruto had washed when he was angry. He turned to Naruto eyes blazing with evil.
"YOU CALL THESE WASHED?" Itachi yelled smacking Naruto hard across the face. "I wouldn't let my dog eat of these." he continued smacking Naruto hard with his right hand only. (This was his weak hand) "I said you would be sorry if you didn't wash them spotless!" he was angry and sasuke knew it. Itachi raised his left hand in a balled fist and swung it in Naruto's direction connecting hard with Naruto's cheek bone. Sasuke watched this with amazement and horror. The boy didn't scream why didn't he scream?? He knew Itachi would continue until he made Naruto beg him to stop.
"You fucking slave can't even wash dishes right. What good are you? Maybe I should just send you back now!" Itachi continued yelling as his left fist connected again and again the boys face, chest, and stomach. Still Naruto held silent. Sasuke moved forward.
"STOP!" he shouted at his brother. Itachi raised his head intrigued by his brothers actions. Sasuke quickly continued so his brother didn't think he was defending the boy. (Which in truth he was) "You want to hear him scream right? Move over!" Sasuke said bringing that evil grin that was on Itachi's face to his own.
"No." Itachi said challenging his little brother to disobey him. "I got something in mind that will make him scream if beating him up don't work." Itachi smiled like a insane person. Itachi grabbed the boy hard by the groin smiling at his brother. He then dragged him out of the kitchen into a room down the hall and slammed the door.
Sasuke paused letting his words linger.
"Wha..what's wrong?" the priest asked wondering why the Uchiha stopped and listening carefully he heard the young man pull something out from somewhere (most likely his pocket) and blow his nose.
"Nothing. I will continue just let me pull myself together." Sasuke replied the smile no longer on his face. Instead a napkin was dabbing water that was rolling down Sasuke's cheeks.
"If it is too hard you don't have to talk about it." the priest said sympathizing with the boy for a brief moment before going back into his priestly mold.
"No, I must tell you about this part. This is the part when I started to change and my sin started." he said regaining his smile knowing that it was all in the past.
"You didn't..." the priest stopped hoping that the sin wasn't sexually assaulting this poor boy. "Didn't hurt this boy, did you?" the priest said in the most priestly voice he could manage.
"No..." Sasuke stopped and then chuckled for the second time in this conversation. "Well not against his will anyways." the priest was confused by these words and was now trying to put Itachi, Sasuke, Sting, pain and Naruto's will together like a puzzle. They wouldn't fit no matter how hard he tried. He was missing to many pieces in the puzzle and was looking for them in every crack. The priest regained himself.
"Continue."
