-------------------------------------

4 years later

"Is she dry?" Asked the king. He wondered about his younger son's wife.

"What makes you ask that father?" Sasuke drank his tea. He was having dinner with his parents. Sakura was currently ill.

"It's been four years since you married her and she hasn't conceived. Is there a problem?"

"I don't think I'm ready for that kind of responsibility." The raven spent four years of loneliness, which only made him cold and distant. He respected his father to a certain degree but didn't admire him. To be honest, he didn't care. Life was boring without the servant. He wondered why this kept happening. When he started to become happier with the Dobe, something occurred that cause them to separate.

Four years ago he was ahead of the expedition. Objection: to find the Kyuubi. His father planned to torture them, mercilessly, but he had other plans. His heart ached the moment he found out his servant had escaped. Why would he? Yeah he was jerk to him, and taunted the blonde creature, but didn't he know that that was his way of saying, 'I want you to always be with me.' He wasn't an affectionate person, and something deep down told him that Naruto knew him better than he knew himself.

The king slammed his cup on the table which resulted in bringing Sasuke back from the heavenly clutches of his memory. He was furious. "That does NOT concern you! An Uchiha should take pride in his ability to continue the family lineage!"

"Well what if the man is the one who is dry?" Sasuke countered. He knew this wasn't true, but in all his years of marriage, not once did he ever lay a finger on the Haruno princess, and he wasn't about to start now.

"There is no such thing as a dry man." His father stated ignorantly. "He just isn't trying hard enough." He wasn't going to let go of the subject that easily. "Itachi," Sasuke cringed. Why was he not surprised? He knew this conversation wouldn't end without his father bringing up his brother. In fact, he always did this. When the king was not pleased with his younger son, he would always bring up his older brother, in comparison. "He had been with Hinata for over seven years, and nothing. But after having a talk with my dear son, he was able to get her pregnant." Itachi and Hinata already had a two year old son whose name was Madara. This name annoyed Sasuke. It didn't fit the boy and for some reason he felt Itachi chose it to mock him. But why did it bother him so much? It's not like he named him after the raven in an attempt to steal his name. Although it pretty much seemed like it. Sasuke often referred to his nephew as 'that boy' or 'your grandson' when talking to either one of his parents. You would never find him saying Madara.

"Did he state he might be dry?" The king continued. "Of coarse he did. Excuses, excuses. But now, I have a grandson. Itachi will make a GREAT king; you need much, much practice to be an even better king."

'If he's so goddamn great, why didn't you give him the palace?' The younger Uchiha thought bitterly, trying hard to hide a snort that was about to escape his lips.

-----------------------------------

"Where did he go last night?" Asked an anxious Sakura. Still being a virgin, untouched by the Uchiha after four years of marriage, left her paranoid. The pink haired princess was taught that men craved sex. They needed it. The calm raven scarred her. Didn't he want to ravish her with his god-like skills? Wasn't he going to make her his? She knew she was the most attractive one out there. Many constantly reminded her. Every prince would gladly be with her, but her shallow mind only had eyes for one; Uchiha Sasuke.

"He went out to train with Kakashi-san." Replied a sighing Tenten. It was the third time she was asked the same thing only to give the same response.

"Who were they with?"

"No one."

"Last night I heard my husband talking to a young woman. (Tenten had to fight an urge to roll her eyes, Every time Sakura spoke of Sasuke, she always called him "My husband" in an attempt to remind everyone that he was a married man, and she was his wife.)Who was she?!" She demanded. Her stomach clenched as she held onto the covers. She was afraid of the answer. The princess didn't want to picture her husband cheating on her but at this point there was nothing else that could explain his odd behavior. The mysterious woman's laugh mocked her mind as she kept replaying last night over and over again.

Flashback

She was about to get a glass of water when she heard her husband talking to a lady. In reality he sounded uncaring and the woman's response was just as cold, but her mind portrayed him flirting while she giggled.

End of Flashback

"Um..." Tenten didn't know how to best put what she was about to say. She didn't want to offend the princess. "Ma'am…that was the queen…his mother…" She rose an eyebrow with confusion. It seemed the flu was getting to her head. She was jealous of her own mother-in-law?

"My, she's affectionate." Her voice contained a grumble as she crossed her arms over her chest. She eyed Tenten suspiciously. "How about the maids?" Tenten instantly shook her head. There was nothing to worry about. If Sasuke was having a fling with anyone, she would be the first to know. But the raven was always with Naruto and he didn't seem like the gay type. Her conclusion concerning the young lord was that he was A-Sexual, a human who had no sex appeal whatsoever. She was surprised when an accusing finger was pointed at her. "What about you?! Has he been giving you any weird looks lately? Are you helping him ch-cheat on me?" Tears formed in her eyes as she watched the shock maid come back to life and fume.

"Madam!!! I would nev-"

"Don't lie to me!" Cut off a desperate Sakura. "He wakes you every night and…and- ow!" Tenten quickly shot morphine in her arm with a needle. The Haruno princess was out of control and needed to calm down. The pink haired girl instantly fell asleep.

"I'm sorry…" Whispered Tenten. She knew Sasuke was extremely attractive, but no one could break through his ice barrier. She pitied his wife. She was the perfect example of the outcome that resulted from a shallow relationship.

------------------------------------

Itachi and Sasuke constantly battled to see who was better. The result was always the same; Itachi was first with Sasuke close behind.

Now that Naruto was gone Sasuke began to obsess over studying and training. When he was not with Kakashi, he was in the library. He played memory games that resulted in expanding his mind.

Every year an exam took place. This Exam tested the skills and knowledge a prince had. Out of all six kingdoms that participated, the Hyuugas always won. Why, because they had Itachi.

His father regretted having Sasuke as a representative although he always came in second. The test was about to take place. The king tried his best to give his son tips before the battle. The results, like always were close. Sasuke knew he had a chance when his mind started remembering more than a couple of things at once. It was like a second soul stood close to his body, whispering the answers.

Itachi was shocked to find out that he and his younger brother were…tied? Yes tied!

'How could this be!!!' He fumed while he tried hard to keep his exterior cool and collected. His mind raced. Okay, he and Sasuke both got the exact same amount of points in all the tests (keep in mind that this is sort of like the S.A.T's to study the princes I.Q) Now all he had to do was beat him in combat which shouldn't be that hard.

Itachi and Sasuke, not surprisingly got through the preliminary rounds. They now stood face to face. The stadium was huge. The viewers sat at the balcony. It circled the area closed and looked like a Roman Coliseum. It had no concrete. Both held swords.

A referee approached the Uchihas. He chewed on a toothpick. Both boys knew him. He was Genma. He sighed as he inspected both warriors. This year, like every other year was yet another chance for Itachi to nearly kill his little brother. The genius lived for this day; it was the only day he could get payback for having the kingdom stolen from him (Ch.11) and still look honorable. Sasuke noticed that throughout the years he had gradually been getting better. Who knew, maybe today was the day that decided it all?

BONG!

The bell was hit and the fight began.

Itachi took the initiative and ran towards Sasuke. Over the years Sasuke had tried his best while still studying his brother. He noticed that Itachi was doing the same exact thing. How had he missed this? He avoided his brother with great effort.

Everyone was shocked when they realized Sasuke was still dodging Itachi ten minutes after the fight had started. This was incredible. It usually took Itachi 5 minutes to take him out. Genma was extremely alert. He knew he had to stop Itachi before he had a chance to accidently kill Sasuke. He waited for the signal that usually told him to jump in, but it never came. The viewers gasped as Sasuke countered with the back of his sword. Itachi had swung his weapon forward but missed Sasuke who quickly spun with his back against his brother and used the back of his sword to hit the older Uchiha's stomach. The pain in Itachi's stomach caused his reflexes to bend him forward in an attempt to shield his pain. His armed hand was also weakened. Sasuke took his sword, turned around and pushed him down. He did it so fast it caused his brother's head to spin. When his mind became clearer he realized that Sasuke had been pointing both swords in a scissor like position a couple of inches away from his neck. The world came crashing down on Itachi as he realized what had happened.

Sasuke won.

-------------------------------------

What am I?

Itachi sat in his dark room. He was still in shock. Memories of Sasuke kept replaying themselves in his head.

Did that really happened?

Sasuke had tied with Itachi on the exams. They had both received perfect scores.

The battle…he won…then that makes him…a…

He couldn't say it, he couldn't even think it. Sasuke was NOT a genius. If he was than what did that make him? Itachi was destroyed. His little brother had won. The revenge he had been seeking for years was now complete. He had managed to make Itachi feel like he had just wasted his time. He risked the ability to be extremely attractive only to become a genius, but even that was a waste since Sasuke stole his title. How was he going to show his face to society now? They only respected him because he was better than his brother, but now, not only was Sasuke more attractive, he was also a genius, the perfect king.

--------------------------------

2 weeks later…

The king received two urgent letters. One was Anonymous while the other told him it was from the Hyuuga kingdom. Hiashi (Hinata's dad) wrote shocking news. Itachi had disappeared. He left no notice of where he was going, he didn't even take his belongings. The king sighed. He knew his wife was going to have a fit but he didn't really care what Itachi did anymore. He wasn't a genius and Sasuke was with him anyway. Yes the Uchiha king had a preference for the son that had better quality.

The second letter troubled him more than the first. It read:

"I challenge your best warrior.

-Sabaku No Gaara"

The king feared their encounter. But he knew if he didn't respond, Gaara would challenge him to war. He wanted to avoid a battle with the Wind Dynasty.

The wind Dynasty was the only kingdom that was not welcomed to take part in any event. The world held seven kingdoms, but the kingdom of air was forbidden to participate.

--------------------------------

Sasuke stood in the middle of the stadium. He waited for his challenger to show. The crowd waited patiently. The stands were divided in two. Half of it contained nobles from The Leaf while the other half had nobles from The Sand.

A large metal gate opened to reveal a rough looking red head. He sported a weird mark on the left side of his forehead. It seemed to be the Chinese symbol for Love. He stood calm with his hands crossed in front of his chest.

Sasuke got ready. His pose fell into a fighting stance. Gaara smirked.

"As a king, I can't fight. But I have a secret weapon."

Sasuke raised an eyebrow. Wasn't he the one who challenged him?

Gaara stepped aside and pointed at the gate he had recently come in from.

A figure walked out. His face was covered by a black hood. He removed it, to reveal blonde hair. Sasuke's eyes widen as he, for the first time in four years, saw those blue eyes he had missed. The figure seemed emotionless. He unsheathed his sword and ran forward in an attempt to take down the Uchiha. He had only one goal in mind, to kill Uchiha, Sasuke. The raven used his weapon to block him. Both hands shook as they held their swords which were tightly placed against each other.

"Naruto…"
