Uchiha's
All three Uchiha's live together. Itachi, Sasuke: 6-years old, Kiyoko: 10-years-old, Itachi: 12-years-old.
Chapter 3:
Sasuke came around. He noted that he wasn't at home, but in a weird dark place. Being a young boy, only six, he freaked out.
"SISTER! BROTHER!"
"Shush. Quiet your voice. I have a headache." Kiyoko said in a quiet voice, pulling the younger Uchiha to her to comfor him. He burried his face on her chest, relieved to know his sister was there.
"Where's..."
"Right here kiddo. We'll be fine if we cooperate..." His voice made him sound scared. Something he never was. Kiyoko moved some in the dark, flicking something and they got a light. They were in a room with three beds. The three Uchiha's were in the same bed though. Kiyoko right next to Sasuke, Itachi on his other side. Sasuke looked up at his bruised sister and his scared brother.
"Sister, brother?"
"Just don't listen to them. Kay Sasuke? They can't hurt you."
"But...Sister..."
"Kiyoko! You know if we don't cooperate..."
"SHUT UP! Sasuke's a child!"
"So are you!" Sasuke's eyes widened and he began to cry. The door flew open and they all tensed. There stood a tall, well built man.
"Quiet down in here!" Both Kiyoko and Itachi looked up emidiately, Kiyoko pulling Sasuke closer to her to protect him. The man smirked at her and walked out.
"Sasuke, I'm going to tell you what happened..." Kiyoko began. Itachi shot her a glare.
"See...Mom and Dad were murdered in the front room while we were upstairs in Itahci's room. When he went to open the door, he was the first to be knocked out and carried away. Then I was and then you. We were carried from the house and the village. The villagers were all slaughtered before hand and then they set the village on fire. We have no place to go home to. We have to train under out new...master..." Sasuke didn't want to hear such a thing and covered his ears.
"No! Mom's not dead! Neither is Dad!" he cried. Itachi and Kiyoko exchanged looks.
four years later
Sasuke, now ten, was training near a tree with Itachi, whom was now sixteen. They were sparing together, more into training than anything. Kiyoko, now fourteen and now cold hearted, watched them. She had been pushed harder than the other two, being the only girl. She sighed heavily and watched as they made their mistakes. Turning, she went to walk away, only to have a kunai thrown her way, stabbing into the tree next to her. She stopped and turned to them. Both were glaring at her and she smirked.
"Pick up your pace Sasuke. Itachi, stop holding back. He won't get stronger."
"Then train me!" Sasuke shot at his older sister. She smiled at him.
"Alright then." With that, she disappeared and reappeared behind Sasuke. He had barely enough time to block her leg and all three of them went into a sparring match. Kiyoko managed to dodge both of them.
"Sasuke."
"Right!" The attacks stopped and the two took to hiding. She stood her ground to listen for their movements. A minute went by and Sasuke came up behind her. She stopped him easily, sending him into a nearby tree and that gave Itachi his opening, so he thought. He went at her and she did several back flips to dodge him and get a good distance.
"Is this all he's trained you?"
"What else do you expect?"
"Fo you both to more a little more skilled. Especilay you, Itachi!" While she was talking to Itachi, Sasuke had went at her again and she had to flip him over her shoulder. He landed on his back with a thud and Itachi went at her. That gave Sasuke time to get up and it went back to the two on one spar match. Finaly, Kane, their 'guardian', came and stopped the match, taking Kiyoko on. She had gone on one of her little rampages. She was into fighting that she could have killed someone, if it was not for him.
"Kiyoko!" He pinned her to the ground and she squirmed.
"Sister!" Sasuke called, running over.
"Calm down Kiyoko and I'll let you up." She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
"Alright. I'm fine now." Kane stood and helped her up. Sasuke glanced at her and she smiled some. "Sorry little brother..." She turned to walk away. Kane turned to them.
"A two-on-one sparing match. You guys haven't done that since you were just children." That earned him a couple of glares and Sasuke thought a moment.
"Damn! Her birthday Itachi!" Sasuke then ran after his sister. Despite her cold-heartedness around her older and younger brothers, Kiyoko was just as soft as normal. When Sasuke found her at the lake, she seemed so calm, staring into the water as the wind blew in a slight breeze.
"You know Sasuke, I really am sorry."
"What for?"
"You're still no more than a child and I was pushing you."
"You only want me to become stronger. You're still my bigger sister."
"Yes. True."
"Sister?"
"Yes Sasuke?"
"How come?" Kiyoko looked at him, blinking a couple of times with a confused look.
"Huh?"
"How come you act so much?"
"Sasuke..."
"Around Brother and me. You act like there's nothing bothering you, like this was the best change for us all. Like there's nothing you truely care about. It's like, you have no emotions at times. How come?"
"Sasuke...I have to be strong. Itachi won't so I have to. I need to be the strong one for you both."
"Do you cry?"
"No." It was a lie, but she wasn't about to tell her younger brother.
"Lier. I hear you almost every night." Itachi walked up, calmly. She glared at him.
"You must be hearing things."
"You put on an act infront of us, especialy Sasuke, to keep us from getting upset. You think it helps but it only hurts Sasuke more. He cries at night too. Not because of this hell hole but because of you. He thinks he lost the real you years ago, so he cries for you, wanting you to stop acting like that. You act cold towards him a lot."
"I'm like that to you both."
"But it hurts Sasuke more." There was a moment of silence and Kiyoko tunred from them, walking away.
"Think things over. It's better the way it is." Sasuke went to chase after her, only to have Itachi grab a hold of his shoulder.
"No. She's not family to us. She's changed." He turned to walk away, leaving a very confused Sasuke. He looked back to the lake and sighed.
"I hate this..."
"I'm sorry, Sasuke." Sasuke snapped around to see Kane standing near a tree, staring into the water.
"Huh?"
"I never meant for anything to turn out like this. My father ordered this and soon after, was kill. I don't know how though. I had to take after him and trained your sister, as instructed. She must have thought that if she didn't distance herself from you two, bad things would happen to you. I know this is tearing all three of you apart and you're left to think and dwell over what's going on. Talk to them. Find out what's really go through their minds. In the mean time, don't lose faith, kay?" Sasuke nodded and looked back to the water.
After a few minutes, Sasuke went to walk the direction his older sister went.
"I want us to be a family again."
"You can talk things out with them, then run." With that, Sasuke disappeared to find his sister.
