Chapter 7:

"B-brother...Stop...P-please..." Sasuke pleaded. He felt a kunai knife pierce his shoulder and he screamed in pain. Itachi walked over quickly, took the handle of the knife, pushed it in more and twisted in. Sasuke screamed more. Itachi was enjoying every moment of this too. He puled the knife out and raised it. Sasuke's eyes shot up to the knife and flenched as Itachi went to bring it down.

"PLEASE NO!" Sasuke managed to scream before he felt the knife peirce into his skin. His eyes widened, pain shooting through his entire body. He felt the darkness consuming his very being. He saw a tunnel with a light at the end. He heard an angelic voice begin to sing. Just as he did, he black out completely.

Itachi's PoV

I perpously missed anything vital. I had to pity him. I wanted him to die wanting to. Not wanting to live and die. Looks like I'd have to hurt him more to make him want to die. I threw the knife carelessly aside. Before I knew it, it hit the radio, turning on the CD player. Music began to play and I heard her voice as it continued.

This rose is our destiny, ripping us apart.

Our hands have been torn apart...

Even when I sleep,

as I embrace my thoughts and dreams for you,

they reach to the ends of the world!

At times, love is strong,

so much it even wounds people's hearts, but Ah

in the midst of the courage that grants our dreams,

a light always shines forth,

(becoming) a single power...

This rose is our destiny, leading us

to now meet once again.

Because I've never forgotten

our promise,

I've finally made it this far!

At times, love nobly

seeks out, to pierce people's hearts. Ah

The ones protected by the ones who protect

They always shine forth

To become a single power...

At times, love is strong,

so much it even wounds people's hearts, but Ah

in the midst of the courage that grants our dreams,

a light always shines forth.

Love is strong,

so much so that it can move people's hearts, but Ah

If we are together, then without a doubt

we can change the world, and everything will

become one power.

(i do not own this song)(Toki ni Ai wa)(Revolutionary Girl Utena song)

I had sat back near the passed out Sasuke and listened to the song. It was her voice. Angelic and enchanting. I had fallen asleep, forgetting all about my near death little brother.

Next day

I woke up slwly to see Sasuke still passed out, or alseep. Either one. I saw the blood stains and the now dried puddle of blood on the floor. I stood and picked him up, sighing. It was a good carpter too. Looks like I was going to have to spill some paint on it. Blame it on Sasuke. Then the rest of the mess. I wasn't about the scrub the floors. I walked up the stairs and placed Sasuke in his bed, then walked to his bathroom and turned on the water, letting warm water run into the tub. Suicide. I heard a faint noise come from where Sasuke was so I walked into the room. He was still sound asleep. When I turned my back, I heard him start to move around.

"M-mother...No...Mom...Mom. Mom! MOM!" He was dreaming of that night. I knew this. He screamed fro her everytime.

"MOM!" I heard the bed moved as Sasuke jolted up right, only to scream in pain from his wounds. I turned and smirked.

"Smooth little brother. Keep up all the moving and you'll just make it hurt worse." He looked at me, fear struck. How I loved that look in his eyes. The look that pleaded for me to leave him be. Let him live and not hurt him anymore. I had thought about that once. Then I decided this was how life was. He was just going to have to deal with it. I walked to the tub, turned the water off and walked back over to Sasuke. He had that pleading look. I just smirked at him and picked him up. I walked him into the bathroom. He knew what I was up to and tensed.

"Please. No please. Don't do this. I don't want to. No. Itachi please." He was begging. I loved the sound of his fear. It was like music to my ears. I genlty placed him into the tub. He relaxed slightly when he felt that it wasn't hot or cold but warm, how he liked his water. I then smirked and placed my hand on his head and he tensed, grbbing my arms as I forced his head under the water. His eyes were shut tightly and he held his breath as long as he could, then he breathed out. His amrs moved franticaly as he tried to come up for air, so I let him. He got a coupl of good breath's then I pushed him back under. He tried once again to hold his breath.

Sasuke's PoV

He had dunked me for the second time and I held mt breath as long as I could. I was panicing. I wanted out of there and soon, but I wanted to live. I was scared to death at this point. I had to exhale. It felt as if my lungs were going to explode. He held me under longer, then let me up. I gasped for air.

"Not going to pull that off again, now are you dear little brother?" His voice was taunting me with every word said. He was laughing at me. I shook my head in desperate attempt to get him to stop. I was holding onto a false hope. He wasn't going to let up on me so lightly since I had told them he was abusive. Now what will they think, if I die that is? I know. I'll let Itachi kill me and show them that Sakura, Naruto and I weren't lying. All evidence will point to Itachi. I felt the water rise over my head once again and I was forced to hold my breath. I struggled against his strength to get up. He was laughing at me. I knew it. He alwas laughed at my misfortune. I was stupid to even think he was going to let me off the hook once when we were kids. Everything got worse after their death. I wanted to cry but couldn't for the lack of air and the fact if I did, I would inhale water, choke and die. But it's not like they care. I mean, the only ones that do are Sakura and Naruto. I let my eyes open slowly till they were slightly narrowed. I looked up at Itachi. Those eyes were locked with mine and something made him let go. I shot up and gasped for air, catching my breath. I felt the tears slide down my face. My gaze turned to Itachi, whom just stared at me a moment.

"Sasuke..." I blinked, two more tears streaking my face. He stood and walked from the room. What the hell was Itahci up to!

"STOP WALKING AWAY!" I yelled. I wanted attention, even if he really didn't care. I sighed as I heard my door close and brought my knee's up and began to cry. The water went from warm to cold to freezing as day turned to night. I climbed from the tub finaly and walked into my room, soaked and shivering. I got into my top drawer and pulled out a t-shirt, then a pair of boxers.Then I went to my closet for a pair of pants. I pulled a pair out and tossed them to the floor for tomorrow as I changed into the dry t-shirt and boxers. I couldn't stop from shivering. I was so cold. My lips were blue, my body was turning blue. I layed down in bed and drew the blankets all the way up to my chin, curling into a ball. I still shook from the coldness. I was sick and I was going to die. I cursed the Gods that were there, if there really were any that is. I heard a knock at the door, soon the person gave up on waiting for me to answer and walked in. It was Itachi. I sat up slowly and prepared myself for more beatings. He wasn't there to hurt me. He had something for me to eat. I wanted to refuse it but was afraid of what he would do. He said nothing as he walked over to the table by my bed and sat it down. He turned to me.

"Eat if you want. Don't if you don't." He then walked for the door and shut it. I looked over at the small tray of food as tears swelled up in my eyes. I decided not to eat and closed my eyes, letting sleep take over.

A/N: Please don't forget to review. I will update again soon. It's almost one AM and I gotta get up in like...six hours...NIGHT!
