Chapter 11:

"An all nighter Sasuke!" It was Sakura. He blinked.

"What do you mean?" Sasuke tilted his head, looking at her.

"You're seeing someone behind my back, aren't you Sasuke!" Sasuke blinked and backed into the wall as Sakura walked towards him. He felt his back touch the wall and gulped. Before he knew it, Sakura had this sad look in her eyes.

"S-sakura?"

"How dare you Sasuke? I thought you were mine." She latched herself around his neck and he had no choice but to hug her back.

"Sakura, I have no clue what you're talking about." He then whisperred into her ear "I had to see him. You should have seen him Sakura." Sasuke pulled back from the stunned Sakura. She blinked and shook her head.

"Sasuke! Are you nuts! You know what happened when you were living with him, why woul dyou go back!"

"He was a wreck Sakura! He's my brother and despite what he did, he needs me!" Sasuke shot back, turning to run from the house. Sakura went to grab his arm but missed it and he was out the door like a rocket. Kakashi looked his way and went to chase after him.

"Sasuke!" He tried to holler for Sasuke. Sasuke ignored it and continued on his way. He took a sharp turn into an alley way, jumped the wall and ended up near his house. Itachi's place to be exact. He smirked and ran into the gates, running into the house. He was then face to face with Itachi and he nearly screamed. Itachi blinked and sighed.

"Sasuke, why are you back here?"

"Hiding out for a while. Hide me?" Itachi tilted his head in a curious way.

"Why?"

"I uh...I have my reasons." Sasuke then ran past his brother and up to his old room. It hadn't changed, except the glass was replaced on the balcony doors. Other than that, the blood stains were still on the carpet and any other things that had been broken, were broken still. Sasuke noted this and felt slightly odd to be there. He sat on the bed and layed back, memories coming back to him.

A twelve year old Sasuke hit the wall hard, the sound of it echoing off the basement walls along with the sound of his scream. He slid to the floor and sat there a moment, trying to catch his breath, his eyesight having left him already. His head was down and he heard footsteps coming towards him. He tensed up and felt a hand grab him by his hair. The older one picked him up and kicked him in the side, releasing him as he did. The younger Uchiha hit the wall and bounced off, falling to the floor. He layed there, motionless. He heard footsteps come closer, and then pause for a moment, fading this time as they began again. Laying there on the cold cement floor made his numb body feel good. He sighed heavily and kept his eyes closed, waiting for the basement door ro close. About a minute later, the door closed and he slowly and painfuly pushed himself up.

"Ow...It...hurts..." he said to himself, leaning against the wall, head back against it as well. He wanted to cry but forced the tears back. If he cried, it would get worse. He whipped the blood feom his mouth, spitting some blood out of his mouth as well. He decided to stay there and sleep there for the night. Sure enough, he was out like a light.

Sasuke sat up right, the fear returning to him at the memory. He shook the feeling.

"No. Itachi's changed. He won't hurt me anymore. He can't." Sasuke sighed heavily and stood, walking down the hall and down the stairs. He walked to the kitchen and to the basement door, placing his hand on the knob. "Here goes nothing..." Sasuke turned the knob and felt a hand on his shoulder. He tensed and snapped around, leaning against the door. Itachi tilted his head.

"Sasuke? Something wrong?"

"N-no. Nothing. I was just going to check out the basements. It's been a while since I've been here, I wanted to explore."

"Alright. Be careful Sasuke." Sasuke nodded and turned back to the door, opening it and turning on the lights, walking down the stairs. He made his way down and looked around. There was nothing new. The room looked the same. He sighed and turned to walk back up the stairs but the person behind him could say other wise.

"Mistake one. Coming back." Sasuke's eyes widened and he backed up. Itachi's eyes were narrowed.

"Itachi...I thought..."

"It pays to have someone spy and help you recover and turn back to your normal self, doesn't it Sasuke. You know what it's like to return to a life you wanted, don't you?" Sasuke felt his back touch the wall and knew he was dead if he didn't get past Itachi soon.
