Chapter 9: Sasuke's Childhood

Sasuke slowly opened his eyes, allowing his eyes to slowly adjust to the bright light coming from outside. Sitting on his bedside table sat a mountain of roses. Getting up, he picked up a card from the huge pile and read,

Konnichiwa Sasuke-kun,

Are you feeling better? I hope you are because school's really boring without you. I wish I could've stayed longer, but I had to get to class. If I could have, I would've waited for you for an eternity.

Love, Sakura

Sasuke raised an eyebrow, 'What is this crap?'

Picking up another card, he read,Falling skies
Broken dreams
All alone
Without a trace of hope
But then I looked up
And saw your face
Meeting you here
Was like seeing an angel
On the road to hell
Like a single raindrop
In a dried up desert
Like a crumb of bread
After unbearable famine
You were my hope
The only thing
That lights up my day
And fills up my dreams
You were my everything
And that will never change

You don't know who I am
But this I want to say
Everyday I watch you
Looking from afar
Hoping for you to notice me
But you never did
So even if I did tell you my name
You wouldn't know it anyway
But nevertheless remember it
Because someday soon
You will be my prince
And I will be your lover
My name is
Toshi

All the other cards were the same; filled with the same sappy content, and the same pathetic dreams. Looking around, his eyes fell upon a pack of ramen, sitting by itself in the corner, with a note attached to it.Oi Sasuke

You feeling better?

I don't know about you, but whenever I feel bad, ramen always cheers me up! It's my faaaaaaaaaavorite food in the world! So here's a pack of miso ramen, my favourite.

See ya, Naruto

Sasuke smiled. Unlike those other mindless idiots who sent him flowers, Naruto was the only one that was original. It was a gift that came from his heart.

Suddenly, the door opened, causing Sasuke to look up. Standing in the doorway was an older version of himself with a motorcycle helmet in his hand.

"Do I know you?" Sasuke asked.

"Yes."

"Who are you?"

"Who do you think I am?"

"I don't know. That's why I'm asking you."

"I can't believe you would forget the person that murdered your family…otoutou."

Sasuke's eyes widened and images rushed through his head.

Flashback

Sasuke left right after school, eagerly running towards home. Itachi had promised him that he'll play with him today and he couldn't wait!

He ran up the stone steps leading to his house and into the front yard. As he entered the house, he realized that something was amiss. Where were all the usual noises? There was no steaming of the stove as his mom cooked; there was no clicking of the keys as his father typed away on his laptop; there wasn't even the normal mewing of Akina, their cat.

"Hello? Is anybody home?" He cautiously called out.

Coming from the left, he heard the creak of a floorboard. Following the noise, he walked into the kitchen. His eyes widened, and tears filled them up to the brink. Lying on the floor were the dead bodies of his parents; eyes wide open, as if silently asking "why". Standing over their bodies was Itachi, not a single trace of regret lay upon his face.

Sasuke's lower lip quivered, "Why?" he asked, "Why did you do this?"

Itachi took a step forward, "Because I love you."

Sasuke shook his head, "Then why did you do this? Why did you have to hurt me like this?"

"I didn't do this to hurt you."

"Then why?"

"Because I wanted to be with you, and only you."

"But you didn't have to kill them!"

"Yes I did. They would never approve. No matter what, they would never understand what we feel for each other!"

"What we feel for each other is perfectly normal!"

"Love between brothers is not normal."

"All brothers love each other!"

"Not in the way that I love you."

Sasuke didn't say anything.

"I don't want anyone to get in the way of our love." Itachi said.

"What love? I don't love you that way! I've always respected you, and loved you as my older brother, and if you had just told me how you felt I wouldn't have minded! But this is something I'll never forgive you for!" Sasuke shouted, and ran away.

Sasuke ran as fast as he could, and didn't stop until he collapsed on the floor. Tears flowed down his face and he cried his heart out.

A hand grabbed his shoulder and forced him to turn around. Itachi stood there, and in his arms he held a tiny fur ball.

"Here." Itachi said, and held out the thing in his arms. A tiny head poked out, with its tiny ears and tiny nose.

Sasuke looked at the little creature and smiled, at least Akina was still alive.

"Does this mean that you'll forgive me?" Itachi asked.

"Not a chance." Sasuke said, and grabbed Akina before Itachi decided to change his mind.

Itachi narrowed his eyes, "You can't stay mad at me forever you know."

"Just watch me."

"Oh I will. I'll always love you no matter what. I won't give up."(1)

End Flashback

Sasuke narrowed his eyes, "If you wanted my forgiveness then why would you tell me that?"

"Because forgiveness is not forgiveness unless you mean it." Itachi answered. "I don't want to pretend that we didn't have a history, it will only make you hate me more when you regain your memory."

"Get out."

Itachi paused for a sec, "I will be back."

"Get out! I don't ever want to see you face again!"

Itachi turned around and walked away.

TBC…
