This chapter ended up being only a little over 2200 words long. The next chapter is much longer.

Start Chapter 6

After Harrison had been injured Itachi had become even more obsessive about watching him than before, if that were possible. So much so that he absolutely refused to allow him to school at all when the time finally came. He refused to relent like he was beginning to when Harrison was younger on the idea. No his son would not being going to school civilian or otherwise. Itachi would teach him which the academic side of Harrison's schooling was a breeze. The self-defense and family jutsu that Itachi was attempting to teach him was a whole other picture.

Harrison's gentle and easily flustered nature making it difficult for him to learn much and to Itachi's surprise many of the Black techniques seemed literally impossible for himself to learn. Even with his Sharingan Itachi was unable to teach Harri how to preform nearly any of the Black clan techniques other than through basic coaching and explanation. He even allowed Shisui to try them, as his main affinity was lightning, and he too had been unable to perform the jutsus. Instead Shisui ended up in the hospital from Chakra exhaustion and because he had somehow ended up severely shocked by his own chakra when attempting the techniques. It was something that Itachi had never seen before.

Itachi of course found in nearly microscopic writing at the end of the massive scroll, right after the incident, that the Head Family's techniques shouldn't be used by anyone outside of the clan or any part human members as it would likely result in death or at least severe electrocution and or chakra exhaustion. The techniques were apparently developed to harness the extreme power that was already within a Black clan member and that the Black family members were a specific type of being that's Chakra coils were very specifically tailored to producing natural phenomenon like storms, floods, and earthquakes. Producing such things was just a part of them and completely natural unlike with a human and caused little exhaustion unlike with a human. The head family's most powerful and most coveted members had a natural affinity with 2-3 elements the most desirable Lightning, Water, and air. Those members were able to produce massive storms and control them with minimal effort once matured.

Harrison wasn't too keen on learning such things after seeing his 'uncle' nearly fry himself. Even though his daddy assured him that it was literally impossible for such a thing to happen to him as his Chakra system was set up completely differently than theirs were. He was afraid that the same thing would happen to himself… Even though he had long ago figured out how to make sparks of electricity run over his fingertips to ward off Sasuke when he began to bully him.

Harri had been afraid Fugaku would be angry with him the first time that he had saw him do that but the man had instead lit up looking almost proud, praising him, then patted his head. After that Fugaku and Harrison's father got into fights extremely often. They could hardly be in the same room without a fight starting over Harri.

Fugaku insisted that Itachi was stunting Harri by not allowing him to go to the academy. Itachi would then accuse his father of wanting to use his son for his own gain. It was awful. Itachi was rarely ever had Harri in the same room as Fugaku and his mother after that. Once again splitting a line down the head family. Before then Itachi had begun to even let his father push Harri on the swings in the park every so often. Everyone had been getting along so much better and Harri had been so happy. Harrison hated fighting. He couldn't understand why everyone was so mad all of the time. Daddy had insisted that his father and mother were becoming bad people, that Harri had nothing to do with it. Harri would never voice it out loud but he thought his daddy may have been lying to him. That not all, but most of what was going on between them was his fault. No, he was positive it was no matter what Fugaku said to try to assure him or what daddy said. It all started because he wasn't a good boy and didn't do what he was supposed to, once. He got himself hurt and messed up his family even more.

Harri was still best friends with Shikamaru as well. It saddened him that the other boy was busy so much with school and forced training by his father and mother but they still got to see each other often and liked to watch the clouds together. Harri had wished he was allowed to go to school like his friend… that was until he realized that meant that he would be forced to kill people as Shikamaru didn't go to civilian school.

Shikamaru had become very protective of Harrison after his friend had nearly died and even as unmotivated as he was and lazy seemed to think of it as his life mission to take care of Harri when he was around. He often tried to make sure Harri had everything he wanted or needed. He didn't like any of the 'troublesome women' around Harrison and would vigilantly watch out for them so they couldn't become a problem for the younger boy. The girls in the village had decided they hated Harrison for getting so much attention all of the time and for getting to be around their beloved Sasuke so much. It didn't matter to them that Harrison barely willingly interacted with the older boy and only ever hung out with the Nara. Sasuke in the last year or so had been actively seeking Harrison out and actually seemed to be trying to be nice to him sometimes. Almost desperately trying to get the other child's attention and that just wasn't acceptable to the girls. So of course instead of blaming 'their' Sasuke they began to harass Harri, the person getting the most attention from him.

The day that Shisui died was quite a shock. Said to have drowned. Harri had remembered him become distant with him… with everyone really. For weeks Harri had felt something terrible was ready to happen deep in his belly. He nearly always right about such things. Like when Shina, an elderly grounds keeper died. No one would believe him when he told them that something was wrong, just being around her made an odd chill run through him and the hair on the back of his neck stand on end. They wouldn't even listen when Harri tried to tell them he had begun to smell an odd sickly sweet smell come off of her when she breathed. 2 days later she collapsed, dying from a cancer less than a month later.

It had been absolutely devastating for everyone when Shisui died. One of the best Ninja the clan had ever had and also a light in the collectively becoming darker heart of the Uchiha clan. Harri was inconsolable when he found out. Crying his eyes out for days over it. After that the villagers accused Itachi of killing his best friend. But how could he? They were practically brothers. Itachi loved Shisui! Harri was certain that his daddy would never do something like that. If not for his brotherly love for Shisui but then because he knew how much Harri loved him. Itachi would never do anything to upset Harri, let alone devastate him.

Itachi had become very stressed acting and withdrawn after that. He looked like the weight of the world had settled over his body and spirit. His smiles were strained nearly none existent anymore. Guilt was never clear to see on his face when in public but it filled the air like a suffocating shroud when he took Harrison to the park or into town. It was rare that someone would out right say anything but the feeling of unease and fear was still there. The knowledge of what was to happen was all consuming. How was he supposed to stop this? How was he supposed to get them to see things his way? Shinsui had sacrificed everything to try and stop the war that would begin in a matter of weeks! And that monster, his several times great uncle had been skulking around. What if he found out about Harrison? He wasn't sure how much more he could take. Itachi was scared to death for his Harri but had no idea how he could protect him from his own family and the Leaf village would likely kill him without mercy if the war were to start. Harri was the heir to the Uchiha clan after him, after all!

Itachi woke to nightmares constantly. He was near his end. He was ready to just take Harrison and flee. Itachi's father was becoming more angry and unstable. Furious with the treatment that his family was getting from the village. Of how readily people accused Itachi of killing his best friend. Of how they treated their great clan with disrespect and distrust when they had done everything they could to prove their loyalty. His father was now as ready to take over as the rest of the clan.

The tension could be felt throughout the Uchiha compound. Everyone was ready for a swift, bloody change, almost eager to hear the word. Many believing that they should have been in charge of the leaf village in the first place. Itachi thought it was madness.

Itachi was certain that all that would happen is that many innocent people would die for little reason and it would result in the entire clan's death. He couldn't let that happen. He couldn't let them kill his sweet gently loving son or foolish bullheaded little brother.

A few days later he wasn't given much choice in what to do. It was made for him. Kill his clan and join an underground organization and his 'daughter' and brother lived and were left alone…. Or have everyone be exterminated.

Itachi would have to leave his son behind until he was at least a few years older. He dreaded it but there was no way he was bringing him with to such a place when he was so young and health so vulnerable even if it ripped his heart and soul out. He vowed to himself that he would kill the man who did this. That separated him from his beloved child.

That night when he knew everyone was within the compound walls except for his little brother, as he sent him off. Itachi mustered up his courage and explained to Harrison that he was to go spend the night with Shikamaru. That he loved him but he had to do something bad because if he didn't something bad would happen to Harri and Itachi couldn't bare such a thing. He told him to ignore anything that anyone else said bad about him and that he would come back for him when he was older, stronger and healthier.

That night Itachi had slaughtered everyone in his clan. The mantra of his son and brother being more important filled his head. His parents almost immediately guessed why he was killing them, telling him not to forget to take good care of his little brother and that they understood and still would love him. Nearly ripping Itachi apart. Itachi was glad that they were the last to kill when Sasuke showed up, he didn't think he would have had the will to finish if they hadn't been. He didn't want his little brother to come after him he needed to look like the bad guy if he was to keep his brother safe and his Harri. He couldn't be having his brother drag Harri into things and endangering him. Itachi couldn't have him trying to get vengeance against the village either. So he did the only thing that came to mind… Using the power of his Sharingan against his little brother. Tormenting him and pretending that he never cared for any of them… Even Harrison. Insisting he wasn't worth killing and Harrison was so insignificant that he wasn't worth the bloodstains.

He was glad that his little brother didn't seem to notice the tears running down his face or the fact after using his shirangan on his brother Itachi promptly threw up. His whole body shaking from the horror of what he had done. He took deep breaths afraid that he was going to start hyperventilating. He had to get a grip. He-he had to leave them. Him. Itachi would have to leave his baby. He would have to leave his little brother. He felt the presence of his uncle approaching and quickly wiped the tears away and force himself to put on his emotionless mask.

For them he would endure this torture. For his Harrison Itachi would freeze over his heart once again until it was time for them to meet and Harri to come with him. Itachi would do anything to keep his brother and son safe even if it destroyed him, even if it turned him into a monster.

Itachi would be leaving for now but he would return and he would not be leaving without his Harrison the next time.

End Chapter 6

So here is chapter 6. Hope it is alright! Next chapter should be up either tomorrow or the next day and it is a normal chapter. Sorry I killed off the Uchiha I actually tried to think up ways over and over again so I didn't have to as I was becoming so attached to Fugaku but the only way I could keep them and still have Harri end up in the academy was if I killed of Itachi and I couldn't do that to Harri!

Sorry I was gone for so long I am still very sick. I have had to go to a couple of specialists and everything to try and figure out what is wrong with me but they still can't figure it out. Going to a new specialist in December. They are still thinking that I have some type of autoimmune disease… Just of course, a hard to identify one. Yay.

This is likely to be the worst Christmas ever. We won't even be able to afford a turkey let alone gifts this year which is really depressing. Though the turkey thing wouldn't even really matter anyway because our electric oven decided to completely crap out a little over a week ago so we can't even make cookies for people for gifts. Ugh, this year is ending up absolutely horrible. I'm ill, I may never get to see my kid siblings again after this weekend because the people that abused me and literally tortured me somehow made a deal to get them(I am literally afraid for their lives as this is the same women who tried to kill me when I was 10 by pushing me down the stairs!), We have absolutely no money so we can't do Christmas at all, my mom stole my identity so I can't get a job I can't go back to school or do much of anything anymore, then she disappeared and is a missing person and I thought she was literally dead until she literally just private messaged my gran on Facebook last night, and our oven doesn't even work anymore. So stressed out I can hardly even function. It is probably why I seem to be getting sicker to as I was told that Autoimmune diseases often act up worse if a person is stressed out. I was told that I should try to cut out the stress from my life. How in the hell do they expect me to do that? Like really, you don't live my life you have no idea what kind of crap I have to go through on a nearly day to day basis! I'm completely convinced that I am going to end up dying from a heart attack or something I am so stressed out all of the time. And people complain to me about stuff all of the time and insists that I am being dramatic when I tell them I can't listen to stuff anymore because I am afraid I am going to have another panic attack if I have to hear any more stressful crap. I am literally having panic attacks at least weekly and am half convinced I need to check into a funny farm for a few days just so I can get away from everything since I can't take anti-anxiety medication because of the addiction issues in my family. I feel like I am teetering on the edge of a total meltdown but I can't get away from any of it because I literally have 3 dollars to my name then everyone says I am ungrateful when I tell them that if I could I would leave that whole situation behind. Sorry for the rant but I don't think that I am behaving unreasonably. Am I?

Okay less crazy sounding things

If anyone is interested I am thinking about doing commissions for writing or drawing… I am desperate to at least try and get a little money so I can at least get something for my family members for Christmas since we literally have no money to get anything for anyone. I would offer to sell some baked goods but I don't think anyone that reads my stuff lives around her besides my best friend who would likely let me use her oven for a few hours. You can ask Lexie McShane off of Facebook, I am an extremely good baker. Or I could finish that page. Not sure but willing to do just about anything for some extra cash right now. I feel really bad that we can't at least get anything for my niece and my siblings.. even if I don't get to see them.

Sorry for all of the complaining I am just really out of sorts at the moment. My mom contacting us after months of thinking that she had been murdered or something from her abusive husband really blindsided me and has really upset me that she seems to care so little about my 9 and 10 year old siblings that she would abandon them to the abuse of the same woman I got taken away because of. This whole situation is devastating for me.

Anyway I hope you liked the chapter, please review! Sorry for being depressing! Next chapter is going to be much better and longer it is nearly done already!
