I was stunned at what I saw, there on the bed was Itachi and he was opening a vein in his wrist. He looked up, and his eyes widened a bit but not by much. When I found my voice, I found myself asking. "Itachi why are you doing that?" Itachi sighed and got up and came over to me, and turned me towards the door then said. "Get out." Suddenly confused by his tone, I planted my feet firmly on the ground and said. "No not till you tell me why you cut yourself." "Not telling." said Itachi. I was tired of him keeping secrets from me, especially things that I needed to know. "Tell me now damn it!" I demanded. Itachi opened the door, then pushed me out into the hall then said. "I said get out."

He then shut and locked the door, leaving me out there in the hall I sighed and walked back to my room fine be that way, I hope you cut a major artery and bleed to death I thought to myself. I slammed the door shut and tossed myself down on the bed. He was so stubborn, why must he be so secretive? Why was he cutting? Why was I even worrying over it?! So many questions and not enough answers!

Itachi's POV

I was sitting down on my bed with a cloth pressed a cloth to the my wrist, I hadn't intended to let Sasuke see that old part of me. I thought I had kicked the habit ages ago, but it resurfaced it seemed. I didn't care to explain it to Sasuke because I was too ashamed to tell him why, it played a big part of my past and he didn't need to know. His heart was too closed to understand anything about the past, he only believed what he saw before his eyes. He couldn't looked at it from all sides, there was only the center for him and the outside and all around meant nothing to him. Though he had relaxed more than he had when he first came here, but he still wouldn't relax enough to know the truth.

Though if truth be told I had a urge to tell him why I had did what I did, when he was being so persistent like he was a while ago. I got up and threw the wash cloth in the hamper a few minutes later and laid down to take a short nap. Surprisingly it didn't take me long to get to sleep, it felt like no sooner had my head hit the pillow I was out like a light. About close to ten o'clock I woke up, and I felt bad cause I had slept right through dinner, I couldn't help but wonder if Sasuke had anything to eat. I unlocked the door and found myself going to Sasuke's room, once there I knocked and when he didn't answer I assumed he was asleep but I decided to make sure just in case. So I opened the door, slowly and peered inside there on the bed was Sasuke and he was thrashing around, he must be having a nightmare. "No! Stop!" shouted Sasuke in his sleep. He was about to roll off the bed, but I got there in time, and caught him. "Sasuke wake up, its just a dream." I murmured as I shook him. But he didn't seem to hear me he pounded on my chest like I was the one that was harming him. He'd be pissed at me when he woke up, but this is the only way I knew how to wake him.

I leaned in and kissed him full on the lips, and to my surprise once our lips met he stopped pounding on me chest, and kissed me back. I longed to continue kissing but I couldn't take advantage of him in his sleep. So I broke the kiss, and breathed in his ear. "Wake up Sasuke." I felt him stir, and watched as his eyes opened, he jumped when he saw me. "What are you doing in here?!" asked Sasuke heatedly. "I came in to check on you, to see if you were asleep and if you weren't I was going ask you if you had dinner. But when I came in you were having a nightmare, and wouldn't wake up." I explained calmly. "I just did wake up." Sasuke pointed out. "Yeah because I kissed you." I replied. His eyes went wild as he asked. "You did what?!" "I said I kissed you, shall I demonstrate for you?" I asked. "Hell no!" shouted Sasuke angrily. "Have you had dinner?" I asked. "No, I fell asleep earlier and missed it." said Sasuke with a huff.

"So did I you want me to cook something for you?" I asked. "Its too late you should just go back to bed." replied Sasuke. "No its not, if your hungry I don't mind, besides I'm wide awake now." I said. "No its fine, I'm not hungry." replied Sasuke. "Okay then." I said as I got up off the bed. I then felt a tug on my arm, I looked down and asked. "What is it?" "Could you know stay in here for a little longer?" Sasuke asked casually. "Why?" I asked. Sasuke then snapped. "Fine if you don't want to then leave!" "I just asked why I never said I didn't want to." I stated. "I don't want to be alone right now." muttered Sasuke. I sat back down on the bed, then said. "I'll stay." Sasuke nodded, and leaned back, I could tell the dream had took a lot out of him. "Want to tell me about your nightmare?" I asked. Sasuke was silent for a moment, then a few minutes later he began to talk. "It was a nightmare alright, I dreamed about my past, when I was in the asylum it involves that person who tried to come on to me he was a doctor there at first I thought he was kind and caring, handsome even. Well the dream took me back to that stormy night you know how I hate storms well he came in there to comfort me.

Well the comforting went well beyond that of doctor, and patient, he started kissing me though that wasn't the problem. I liked him too so I kissed him back, then that's when he tried touching me and I didn't want that and he insisted and when I didn't comply he flipped me over on my stomach and got on top and tried grabbing me. When he saw that I wouldn't give in, he beat me senseless, then the next day he explained to the other nurses and doctors that I had, had a seizure which was all a lie!" Sasuke was shaking, and he looked scared I want to pummel that doctor no check that murder that doctor for harming Sasuke like he did. "What's this doctor's name?" I asked. "You believe me?!" asked Sasuke. "Why wouldn't I?" I asked. "Because no one else did." replied Sasuke. "That's because I know you, more than they do little brother, now tell me what is his name?" I asked again. "It doesn't really matter since he's in jail now he got caught drinking and driving so he's paying for his time but I'll tell you anyway his name's Kiba." replied Sasuke. "I see." I said.

I pulled him close, and was surprised when he didn't jerk away, instead he did the opposite of that and he snuggled closer. I then felt him take hold of the wrist I had cut early, and I shuddered when he placed a kiss on it. "Sasuke what's wrong?" I asked. "Nothing you comforted me, so I'll return the favor just this once." replied Sasuke. "Its okay little brother I don't expect comfort in return." I said quietly. "Does it hurt?" asked Sasuke. "No not anymore." I said. "Please tell me why." Sasuke pleaded. I had the urge to pull away and leave the room, but I couldn't bring myself to leave him yet. "On one condition." I said. "What is it?" asked Sasuke. "Kiss me." I said. I felt Sasuke tense, but he didn't protest, I didn't think he'd actually go through with it until he leaned up and kissed me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and deepened the kiss, my tongue caressed against his making him moan.

His hands winded through my hair he found his way to my pony tail and started to pull out my hair but I stopped him by breaking the kiss. "No, don't your not ready when my hair comes down that's when I'll take you." I replied. "I never agreed to that." replied Sasuke. "I know so all the more reason for my hair to stay up." I said as I fixed my hair. "Okay so I kissed you now tell me why you cut." replied Sasuke. "You probably wont believe me, but I'll tell you anyway." I said quietly.
