Recall of the Past
By: Silverwolf
Sasuke sits at a desk. A computer sits in front of him. The machine wasn't logged on and the younger Uchiha had learned not to challenge what Itachi told him. Sasuke did think it was rather funny that despite the fact their father had always announced Itachi as his prodigy the older Uchiha had given up trying to please Fugaku when he finally woke up after the crash. The hospital had induced a coma when they discovered how much trauma Itachi's brain had suffered. The actually had told Sasuke his brother was going to be fine. But told Fugaku another story. The first outcome was that Itachi would wake with severe impairment. Another doctor had told Fugaku his son was put in a coma so they could get ahead of the damage.
Itachi was finally taken out of the coma after almost a month. Two days after his release came the seizures. Itachi worked ridiculous hours as a profiler for the law enforcement. During the five years that took place after the accident something else came into the Uchiha household: a ball of fluff.
The canine quickly grew to be a constant companion to Itachi. Allowing the older Uchiha to continue on with his life.
Sasuke figured the canine became a support system when most of the family shut Itachi out or avoided him like a plague. After all though Itachi was smart enough to be labeled a prodigy in their eyes he was broken despite the way Itachi went through schooling and even earned several degrees. At twenty-one Itachi was claimed to the the very best at what he did. Instead of the rookie starting his career.
Several people stare at Sasuke. One of the other members of the unit looks at Sasuke. "You must be the younger brother." Sasuke wrinkles his nose. "I don't need to be treated like a child. I'm not stupid. Even if my father actually think I am because I'm not as smart as Itachi." The female holds out a hand, "I would say you're plenty smart since I've been watching you do homework and several other things instead of mess with that computer." "Is this your desk?" The female node. "I can leave." Sasuke sees her smirk. "How about we share it?" Sasuke nods and slides over. The female smirks. "I'm Konan." The teen nods, "I'm Sasuke Uchiha." "I know. You're the only member of the family I've ever seen a picture of. Besides that dog." Sasuke makes a face, "don't make fun of him. That dog has been through more training than me. And he didn't stand and watch when he first seen a seizure. I did like an idiot." Konan makes a face, "no matter what you think there's little you can do for him when it happens." Sasuke makes a face. "Trust me I've read enough to know that." Sasuke gives her half a smirk. His attention turns as she sees the canine. "Kioshi knows his job more than I do." Itachi looks at Sasuke, "I guess you can keep her company. Hopefully it stays quiet." "You brought me quite the sweetheart to keep me company." "He's actually suspended from school for a fight." "Is that what happened to your nose?" Sasuke lowers his head as he nods. "That and our father punched him." Konan looks at Itachi a moment. "That's cold."
