Chapter 3
The lone Uchiha settled down on the rooftop, his fanned black hair gently swishing in the cool night's breeze. Perhaps that Sabaku kid knows more than he shows...he seems to be eying off Sakura, abnormally... Is he starting to feel or is he going to kill us? The rooftop had been his childhood worry place since he could walk...His parents, astonished to see the young toddler and his brother sitting upon the slippery tiles, Itachi running his finger's through his sibling's thin-baby hair. Sasuke grunted. Those thoughts had vanished after the eldest's rampage...the whole village...his betrothed and his family... For him there was nothing but his own cold heart to keep him company...Dreams of merriness and joy wilted in the depths of his shadowy ,black eyes, their faint images dancing in his eyes, reminiscents of his would-be-life... almost the same as the child-demon he'd lain eyes on in the exams...his sea foam green eyes echoing the same sadness that lingered in his own. He felt a thud behind him, announcing the arrival of said child...
"What...do you...want?", Gaara hissed at the black haired genin . Sasuke turned around, his trademark smirk on his face, echoing insanity...
"I've noticed your actions in the past week, Gaara sama...". Sasuke lurched towards Gaara, his ribs sending shock waves of pain rippling through out his slim frame...
"Weakling...you can't even stand. How do you expect... to defeat me?", Gaara mocked. Sasuke shook his head.
"I'm not here to fight, Gaara. I'm here to question...", Sasuke mused. A flicker of disappointment flashed in Gaara's eyes, and quickly vanished...
"I...do not...answer questions from underlings...", Gaara snorted and turned to leave.
"What exactly are you...Gaara?", Sasuke asked, smirking again. Gaara stopped...
"One of your worst nightmares, little Uchiha...Not even the great Kyuubi, worshiped in your own family, is an equal match...".
"And that would be? What? A dog?", Sasuke barked with laughter. Gaara's lips raised into an silent snarl.
"You think it's funny, Uchiha? Living with it? Being hated? People watching you in the street, planning to put an end to you because you're deemed dangerous? To have your own family hate you? I have no family...my own father tried to kill me...tell me Uchiha, did your father try to?", Gaara hissed. Sasuke shrugged.
"He admired Itachi more than me...bastard didn't deserve the attention...", Sasuke huffed. Gaara smirked evilly.
"Is this a bitch session is it? Comparing demented families?", Gaara sighed.
"Certainly seems so...".
"Then... I have no interest in it...", Gaara yawned and shifted to the guttering of the roof.
"I have one thing to ask you before you leave, Gaara-sama...", Sasuke giggled, admiring his nails in the pale moonlight... " Touch Sakura...and I will be there...".
"Is that a threat?", Gaara laughed maniacally.
"Could be, could be...".
"Your total and utter stupidity amuses me...", Gaara said, his pearly whites gleaming a little through the evil slur. Sasuke's grin widened evilly...
"Sand-master...", Sasuke dipped his head.
"Uchiha...baka...", Gaara smirked, and lept off the roof. Sasuke was stunned on the inside.. Had he actually seen Gaara express real emotion? Or was he imagining it? Hmmmm....pure evil...I'd say he'll make good rivalry...better than kitsune-baka...stupid Naruto... He thought to himself as he flitted into his apartment...
UCHIHA MANSION- KILLING SPREE
The full moon lit the streets with an otherworldly light, it's tentacles of light seeping into the darkest of holes... A little boy roamed the streets, just home from ninja-school...ready to show his parents his new jutsu... He skipped through the streets briskly. He'd stayed late with the sensei and perfected it. First person he wanted to show was big brother, then his parents... He slowed down a little when he reached the family houses. It was dark, a night chill ran through the air, making his hair stand on end. He peered into the houses as he passed them...no light shone inside. Probably gone to bed... The little raven-haired child thought..
Around the corner lied the enormous expanse of the Head Mansion...once the home of the mighty Madara Uchiha, founder of the clan, it's red paper lanterns gleaming like small fires along the huge hallway. Sasuke, smiled. At least his father had left the lights on for him... He skidded to a stop outside the huge arched doorway. No lights were on anywhere inside the huge expanse of the mansion. Mum and Dad might be asleep. Better not wake them... He placed his small dark, blue bag on the tatami mats behind the umbrella stand, kunais and various other weapons peeked out from the zipper. Itachi's shuriken gleamed like burnished metal in the full moon light cascading through the doorway. Sasuke shivered as he removed his jacket. Putting it up behind the door he began to walk towards the study, he'd left his medium sized shuriken on his father's leather seat...
His small feet made padding sounds on the floor...and two gleaming red eyes suddenly opened...the huge spiral of the mangekyo adorning the gem-like, beady eyes...Not of the great Madara Uchiha...nor Fugaku Uchiha, the master of the house...nor any of Sasuke's cousins...
They radiated pure power...pure hatred, and buried down deep...astonishment, that the little Uchiha had actually escaped his baby sitter's clutches... Sasuke's small thuds echoed around the seemingly quiet household, the blood-red eyes following his every step...calculating...
He reached the study. CRASHHHH! Sasuke whirled around and peered down the hallway.. Something glinted in the moonlight...Silly umbrella stand! I guess my bag was too heavy for it...I hope it didn't break...Mum will be angry if I did! He stomped down the hallway to the fallen ceramic tube...A thick black shadow slipped into the darkened study... Sasuke rightened the pot and thumped back up to the door. Knocking twice he inched the door open, trying to get a glimpse of his father at his desk, no undoubtedly drawing up attack procedures for the Hokage... a small flame flickered from within. Hmmmm, the light...it's too dark for father to be drawing in. Perhaps he fell asleep and forgot to turn off the lamp... Sasuke thought before opening the door fully. He stopped dead in the middle of the room... A pale hand rested against the floor not far from him...a gold charm bracelet glinting in the lamp-light... "Mother? Mum? Are you okay?", Sasuke ran over to the figure. He came to the desk and slowly peered around the corner...a bright pool of crimson flooded the floor...joining up with another nasty puddle that seeped out from under the desk... Sasuke shook the pale figure on the floor, it's head lolling around like a doll while it's long black mane landed in the red-liquid... Sasuke had tears in his eyes now. "Mother! This isn't funny! Father tell Mother to get up! I'll call TaTa!", Sasuke whined as he pulled at his mother's night gown... She rolled over onto her back and Sasuke saw the bright red patch on her lovely blue dress... "MOTHER! FATHER!", Sasuke cried, leaping the desk and peering under at the lifeless eyes of his father...
"Well, well, I see Mizuki didn't do his job...", An evil voice hissed from the shadows... Sasuke whirled around looking for the source of the voice...
"Who are you! What are you! Where are you!", Sasuke screamed. The voice laughed, a high pitched, feminine laugh...and the blood-red eyes opened again...
Itachi Uchiha stalked out of the shadows...
"Foolish little brother...looks like i'll have to kill you too...", Itachi smirked.
"What do you mean kill me 'too'?", Sasuke trembled. Itachi giggled.
"Can't you see my new present to myself? It's my way of ensuring I never have to come back here again..", he smirked. Sasuke fell to his knees.
"But oneesan! Why would you want to leave? Why did you kill Ma and Pa!", Sasuke screamed.
"Because...I find this village...unworthy of my presence and I was never too big on 'rules'...Plus, in order to gain my little present...i needed sacrifices..", Itachi grinned, his vibrant crimson eyes flashed the colour of fresh blood...
"I'm a sacrifice?", Sasuke shivered, taking two big steps backwards. Itachi disappeared, reappearing right by Sasuke's thigh, kunai ready to finish the job... Sasuke's brain clicked then, his father had told him about Itachi's new eye technique...about the hate and hurt involved in acquiring it...to kill one's best friend is the only way to acquire it...reputing dysfunctional and abandonment of the traditional rules...
"So you killed Shisui?", Sasuke cried.
"That's right little brother... and once I've finished with you, I will be the only Uchiha! Able to restart the Uchiha race and return what died when Madara was slaughtered!", Itachi cried maniacally. Sasuke looked up as he felt the long spidery strands of black hair fall to his shoulders...Itachi caught Sasuke under the chin and tossed him at the nearest wall... His gleaming red eyes following the boy's flight path... THUD! Sasuke's back hit the wall first, sending shock waves of pain through him. He screamed in agony. Itachi glided over and Sasuke looked up, tears streaming from his face.
"Want to know how I killed them all?", Itachi whispered in his ear. Sasuke shook his head.
Itachi dropped his voice and lifted the little boy's chin up, so that the younger' s eyes were locked on his... Images started to flood Sasuke's mind, swamping him in disturbing pictures...his family running...and falling one by one, kunais sticking out of their backs in neat little rows... Sasuke screamed and Itachi laughed evilly. Sasuke got up and ran out of the house, screaming, running into the street...More images flooded his young mind...people lying in the streets, big pools of blood, like tiny lakes in the alleyways...
"NOOOOOOOO!", Sasuke screamed as his brother grabbed him by the hair.
"You know what...You and I are the only Uchiha's capable of accepting the Mangekyo...live Sasuke...hate me, loathe me, swear revenge...gain Madara's eye technique and come find me...", Itachi sneered as he threw Sasuke against a nearby house... Then the lights went out...
Gaara snapped his eyes open. No, he wasn't sleeping...he was observing...The cool, summer night brought the sounds of cicadas and night-birds through the open window... The half moon shone bright against the cobalt-blue sky...
"That was one weird kid...", Gaara said to himself as he hopped down from his perch on the rafters, landing not far from his eldest brother's head. Kankurou shuffled and buried his head in the hard travel-pillow, half the sheet had slid off, exposing the pale flesh of his thigh to the rampaging mozzies. Gaara smirked.
Can we pinch him?
Tempting isn't it? Heheh, have a look at oniisan... They turned their heads to the snoring Temari. She was stretched out on her futon in a rather un-ladylike manner, legs hanging half-off the cushion and a drip of saliva dangling dangerously close to the floor...
Geeze, she snores louder than me! No wonder you don't get any sleep around here...
Shukaku...the reason me not getting to sleep...is you...baka...
Don't call me baka, you baka...
I'm going to get some milk, now shush, or do I have to use the binding paper on you?
Nooooo! I'll be good! Promise...
Good, now let me get a drink...

Okay fine Shukaku, you can have TWO cookies...got it? TWO only! You keep eating them you'll end up like that Chouji kid...

Ewww...that's gross Shukaku...Here, i'll get the cookies as long as you shut up about the gay stuff...
You started it...
And I just finished it...you gave me BAD images! Bad Shukaku! Shukaku snorted and Gaara lumbered towards the fridge...
A/N: Heheheheh, Shukaku is a male perve? EWWW! Now that's one weird demon...and he put bad mental images in Gaara's head! Bad Shukaku! ( smacks him over the head)
Shukaku:OWWW WHAT WAS THAT FOR!
