Chapter 3

Sasuke's POV

I swallowed nervously, I was excited about going to the academy at first, but now I was a little nervous. I shook my head; a ninja couldn't stop just because they were a little nervous. I pushed my nervousness aside and walked into class.

I looked around the class, due to my sickness I couldn't go to school, so I was entering a year late, but after I showed the teacher Iruka what I was capable of he let me in the class. They were all sitting and talking with their friends, none of them seemed to notice I had walked in, except for one of them. He had bright spiky blond hair and blue eyes. He was sitting all alone.

"Attention class, we have a new student." Iruka said, catching all of their attention. All eyes turned to me; I swallowed, wondering if I was supposed to introduce myself.

"My name is Uchiha Sasuke." I said, since Iruka hadn't said anything more. Almost immediately after I introduced myself, whispers broke out. I looked at the ground, trying to avoid all of their stares.

"Sasuke come sit next to me!" A girl with pink hair yelled.

"No Sasuke come sit with me!" A girl with a blond pony tail yelled.

"No with me!" I heard a bunch of other voices yell.

I looked at Iruka and then looked back at the class and again my attention was drawn to the blond who was sitting by himself, no one was even sitting near him.

I walked over to the blond and sat down next to him. As I sat down next to him stunned silence ensued.

Iruka began the lesson; it was on the Shinobi code. The school day was really uneventful, except for the fact everyone was looking at me with disgusted looks. The blond hadn't said anything to me.

I sighed as I waited outside, I didn't really want to go home yet. Itachi wasn't there and that was the only reason I would want to go home as soon as possible. So I just waited until mostly everyone had gone home.

"Hey Uchiha!" I heard some kids yell.

I turned around and almost groaned; it was the kids who had been sending me glares since the beginning of the day.

"Yes?" I asked them.

"Why the fuck does anyone think you guys are strong you look fucking weak to me." The one I knew as Akira said.

I shot him a glare, no one insulted my clan.

"Prove me wrong Uchiha; show me that the Uchiha clan is actually worth something." He taunted.

Anger bubbled up inside of me, but I knew I shouldn't get in a fight.

"Or are you a weak worthless brat, like your brother?" He asked.

'Oh that was it; no one insulted my brother and got away with it.' I charged at him.

Akira's normal dark blue eyes turned into a dark purple and he smiled, as he easily avoided my attack.

"Where's your sharingan? Have you not obtained it yet?" He asked smirking.

I growled, he took that as a no and chuckled.

"This is going to be easy then." He said chuckling again.

He delivered a blow to the side of my head and then swept my legs out from under me. Before I hit the ground he grabbed me by the neck and pinned me against the wall.

I looked into his eyes, bad mistake… it felt like water was filling up my lungs. I saw my brother and he had just got stabbed threw the heart by a katana. I started panicking. The genjutsu faded and I found myself still looking into his dark purple eyes, it seemed as if he couldn't hold that for very long. I kicked him in the stomach and he chuckled.

Before I knew it he had punched me in my chest, I gasped as I felt the air go out of me and a searing pain start. I doubled over coughing and my hand immediately went up to my mouth. I felt the blood come put of my mouth and I cringed at the metallic taste. I couldn't breath, as I continued coughing up blood. I saw someone run over and I realized it was Iruka.

He bent over me and said something, but I couldn't make out what it was.

"Nii-san…" I whispered, as I fell into the darkness.

Iruka's POV

I sighed, as I left the building, getting ready to go home. I heard coughing and I quickly rushed over to wear I had heard the noise. Akira was standing over the new kid Sasuke and Sasuke was coughing really badly. As I got closer I saw the blood dripping from his fingers and realized he was coughing up blood. My eyes widened as I ran over to him.

"Sasuke stay with us ok?" I asked the boy looking at him concerned.

"Nii-san…" He whispered it came out as somewhat of a gurgle, but I could still make it out, he wanted his older brother, but Itachi was on a mission right now. It takes them a day to get there and they stay there for two day and then they head home and it takes another day, so Itachi wouldn't be here for a while.

I picked the boy up and rushed him to the hospital, so he could get medical attention. Nurses took him and I waited to see if he would be okay.

One of the nurses came out and I ran over to her.

"So how is he?" I asked her.

"His lungs are close to shutting down, he might not make it." She told me.

My eyes widened and I turned around and began walking out of the hospital.

"Wait, where are you going?" The nurse asked.

"To tell his parents and then to send a message to his brother." I answered, not even stopping.

I knocked on their door and waited patiently for them to answer. They were going to be so upset especially his mother, Sasuke had finally been able to go outside and now he was about to die.

Mikoto answered and looked at me.

"Mikoto-san your son is in the hospital and his lungs are close to shutting down." I told her, not looking forward to her reaction.

Her eyes widened and she walked into the house, probably to tell her husband. They both emerged a little later and walked towards the hospital.

Mikoto stopped and looked at me, "Iruka could you please send a message to Itachi… I'd like him to try to get home faster."

I nodded at her and then she continued towards the hospital.

I sent a hawk with a letter that told Itachi what had happened.

After that I went home, I needed to tell my boyfriend Kakashi about this.

Itachi's POV

I sighed; we had finally gotten to the village we were supposed to be helping out. They had needed ninjas to help the farmers, but they didn't need them today. We had the rest of the day to relax, but I couldn't relax, I just had a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Shisui walked up to me, "Something wrong Itachi?"

I looked at him and shook my head, "I just have a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach."

Shisui wrapped his arms around me in a comforting gesture. I leaned into his hug, something was off I knew it.

I couldn't sleep due to my uneasiness and it wasn't better in the morning either, it was actually worse. I walked outside and Shisui soon followed. He was almost always there for me, he was another person I think I'll have trouble killing …him and Sasuke are the only two people in the Uchiha clan that I don't want to hurt.

"What's a Konoha hawk doing here?" Shisui asked walking over to it.

I frowned, that certainly was odd …I mean it was obviously a message to us, but what was it. My uneasiness grew as I felt like I was about to puke. I walked over and grabbed the scroll right out of Shisui's hands and read it. I reread it and then leaned over the edge of the railing of the balcony we were standing on and puked. I really hope no one was under there.

I needed to get home right away.

A/N: Okay that's all, this is the first chapter that has had someone's POV other then Itachi's in it.
