CHAPTER FOUR
THE UCHIHA CLAN MASSACRE
"Hey, Yuki?" Itachi said. He had just gotten home from a mission.
"Yes?" I asked.
"You know what would look cool?" he asked.
"No... what?" I asked curiously. He held something up. I tilted my head in confusion.
"Here. Turn around." So I did. He tied something in front of my eyes.
"Perfect." he said, backing up.
"A blindfold?" I asked.
"Kind of. I mean, if you can't see, why show your eyes? Anyway, they're too beautiful to let other people see." he said. He must have been smirking when I blushed like a million shades of red.
"Itachi?" I asked.
"Yes?"
"What color are my eyes?"
"They're a light grey color, why?"
"It's just that... before I went blind, they were purple."
"Just like your hair." he said, teasingly. "So how did you become blind, anyway?"
"I-I looked into the sun for too long." I made up a quick lie. I'm pretty sure he saw through it, but he didn't question any further. Instead he asked me "Yuki, would you still care about me- no matter what I did?"
"Well, sure, Itachi. You're my best friend." I said. This made him smile- even if I didn't see. Little did I know that he would kill his clan that night. I slep through all the bloodcurdling screams. Not until my door slammed open did I wake up.
"W-what?" I asked, sitting up in my bed. Who would have slammed my door open?
"Yuki..." It was Itachi's voice.
"Itachi? What's going on?" I asked.
"I killed everybody." He said.
"Killed... everybody?" I asked, confused-even though it was obvoius.
"Yes. Now I'm going off to the Akatsuki. Are you coming with me?" he asked.
"Are you out of your mind?" I yelled angrily. "You kiled the clan? And now you're asking me to come with you to the Akatsuki?"
"I guess that's a no." He said a bit wearily.
"And what about Sasuke? Did you kill him, too? And your parents?" I yelled.
"Yes, I killed my parents. But I spared Sasuke." Itachi said.
"And you're going to kill me now, since I declined your offer? Is that it?" I yelled.
"I couldn't kill you, Yuki. Not even if I wanted to." he said. I felt him getting closer to me.
"I'm sorry. For everything." he said and kissed my forehead. Then his presence vanished completely. I ran out of the room and around the compound house shouting "Sasuke!" Itachi had left him alive. But why? If he could kill his parents, why not his brother?
After feeling a bunch of people laying on the ground, dead, I felt tears cascading down my cheeks. And soon enough I heard someone else's soft cries. It must have been Sasuke.
"Sasuke!" I yelled and ran over to him. He was laying on the ground, curled up in a ball. I felt two other people laying a few meters from us. Why did Itachi do this?
I held Sasuke in my arms, comforting him.
"Yuki! H-he killed them!" Sasuke said through is cries.
"I know." I said softly.
Later that night, someone found us, alive. Word got out quickly. The scene was investigated. IT didn't take too long for them to find out it was Itachi who murdered everyone.
