Chapter 12:

"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. Itachi drew a knife from his back pocket and took another step towards Sasuke. Sasuke pressed his back to the wall more, fear taking over. He thought a moment. Sakura was right. He shouldn't have came back. He made his mistake. Just then, the look in their mothers eyes before she died flashed in his mind, followed by all the times Itachi had beat him. All the pain his elder brother caused him. His eyes narrowed and the shining onyx eyes went to a dull black. It was almost like he was now lifeless. It soon returned and his eyes were narrowed in anger.

"It pays to learn from your mistakes!" Sasuke said, grabbing the knife and shoving it through his brothers stomach. The older Uchiha's eyes widened and he doubled over in pain. Sasuke kicked him in the stomch after withdrawing the knife. Itachi fell to the floor in pain. Sasuke felt the warm liquid on him and he lost it. He began to kick the older Uchiha more violently. Each kick made the older one roll across the floor until he was against the wall. He smirked and knealed.

"Itachi, it's time that you learn what true pain feels like. I want you to know what you put me through." Sasuke took the knife and drew it back, stabbing it into the older one's shoulder. He pulled it out and made several deep cuts. Itachi felt the pain but was unable to speak. Sasuke too the knife and jammed it into his brothers shoulder again and left it there as he kicked him continuously in the stomach. The door flew open and it sounded like three people that ran down the stairs. There was a short pause in the sounds, except the continus gross sounds of someone being kicked hard in the stomach.

Sasuke's PoV
"Now you know how it feels! I can't believe I was thinking about running away and taking you with me! I can't believe I wasnted to keep living with you! I HATE YOU ITACHI!" I had snapped. It all kicked in. The years of pain. I lost it. The sight of his blood made me go nuts and I was having fun.

"SASUKE!" A girl screamed, fear in her voice. I ignored it until I felt someone grab me from behind.

"Sasuke, stop. He's had enough." I squirmed in the man's grip, still trying to kick him. The man sounded like Kakashi. I saw Naruto run over infront of me a kneel down to check on him. He was laying in a puddle of blood and I knew what Naruto was going to say. He looked up, fear in his eyes. They locked with mine then he looked past me to the man holding me back.

"He's dead..." Kakashi loosened his grip and I heard Sakura gasp. I jerked loose and turned to run. I ran right past them. Sakura reached out and grabbed my wrist. I stopped and looked at her. Her head was down, her eyes shadowing her bangs.

"S-sasuke...Are you okay?" She looked up, a single tear sliding down her cheek. I saw the fear in her eyes and took the to my advantage. I jerked a hand back, as if about to hit her. She flenched and let go of me. I turned to run again and made it up the stairs when Liena stopped me. She had a look of fear in her eyes as well. I could have cared less how much of that warm, thick liquid covered me, but ny the look on her face, it must have been a lot. I pushed past her. I heard running footsteps behind me and felt someone latch onto my back, their arms wrapping loosely around my neck, their head on my back.

Hours Later

Hours went by and I had gotten into a lot of trouble. Kakashi made me shower before we sat down in talked. I could have cared less. Everyone seemed to be asleep and it was midnight. I was the only one up. I walked quietly to the front room and out the front door, leaving not even a note. I took the same path as I did before when I thought about running away. There at the villages limits stood Sakura. She looked at me with sad eyes.

"Sasuke, do you plan on running away for real this time?"

"I have no business here Sakura. I need to get away for a while."

"Let me come with you."

"No."

"But Sasuke!"

"Sakura! I said no. Leave it at that!" She glared at me, tears sliding down her face. I walked closer to her and placed a hand on her cheek. "Stay here and wait for my return." I went to walk past her but she grabbed my arm.

"Sasuke, don't leave. Please don't leave." She was making it harder for me to leave than I wanted. I looked at her, my eyes narrowed. I drew a kunai and pinned her to a tree, the kunai against her throat.

"I won't hesitate to kill you."

"Then do it, so you don't have to worry about me stopping you or chasing after you." Her eyes narrowed as well now and one last tear streaked her face as her voice became cold and harsh. I never took my eyes off her, never moving for the longest time. Neither one of us letting up on the glares. I finaly lost my nerves and droped the knife, falling to my knee's, sitting there, just staring into space. She kneeled down next to me and sighed heavily.

"Sasuke, you can't run away to get rid of your problems. You have to battle them out. You're only fifteen and your not going anywhere with your life like this. You have to let people help you." I was looking at her, but what the hell did she just say? I tuned her out. She tilted her head and closed her eyes, sighing once more. She stood and offered a hand to me. I took it and stood. She pulled me back to the house and back in. She lead me to her room. Why? I didn't argue but layed down and fell asleep.

Sakura's PoV

He spaced out some time after he dropped to the ground. I led him back to the house and to my room so I could kep an eye on him. He layed there and fell asleep fast. He looked so calm in his sleep. I wondered what he was dreaming about. Or if he was even dreaming. He was so different when he was awake. He was going to be different for the longest time. About having the kunai to my throat, yeah, I was scared. But it was Sasuke. He wouldn't have hurt me, right? I shook the thought and sighed heavily. Ofcourse Sasuke wouldn't have hurt me. He's just going through a tough time. I ran my fingers through his silky smooth raven hair and smiled. I closed my eyes and fell asleep soon.

"Sasuke..." I mumbled just before I was out.

A/N: Well, that solved Itachi's prob. Gonna end it here and start the next series of it...Look for the update and the title: "Sasuke"
