Chapter 5 - Them and Their Pain

"Itachi is LIVING with YOU!?"

"Who's living with us?" asked Haruka, who was coming down the stairs.

"Itachi."

"WHAT!!!! He's coming to live with us!? But WHY?"

"He is your Oto-san. He is suppose to live with you."

"Sasuke?" Sasuke had ran out of the room. "Oh, Sasuke…."

How can Itachi do this to me? He doesn't trust me with Sakura? He doesn't trust me with his children, or is he just doing this for Sakura?

That night, Itachi came.

Itachi was sitting outside by the pond. Haruka was trying to hide her charka and sneak up to him.

"What is it, Haruka?"

"Damn! What gave it away?"

"Your breathing. You're pretty good with charka control."

"Oka-san."

"Oh, I see…(no he can't)" By now Haruka was sitting beside him. "When did you get your Sharingan?"

"…Ten months ago…"

"Do you hate me?"

"um….ya?" Itachi laughed. Unlike his features (as in his FACE) this sound was musical and rare.

"You remind me of Sasuke."

"I hate him too…" Itachi laughed again. This time Haruka laughed with him, their laughter flowed high in the air.

Hiroshi was upstairs looking at his sister and his Oto-san. Jealousy filled Hiroshi as he watched the laugh together and act like NORMAL. He wanted to die… and so did Sasuke.

2 weeks later…

Sasuke couldn't stand it. Sakura was SO happy! He felt as if his heart was being ripped out. The pain was unbearable. He wanted to leave Konoha, again.

Hiroshi wasn't in any better shape than Sasuke. His jealousy grew as Itachi learned (Wow) to be a good Oto-san to Haruka while a jerk to him….

My Dear Cherry Blossom,

I had always hoped I would never have to write this letter, but the past weeks has caused me much more pain than I can bare and the only way to stop it is to run away from it.

I understand what I'm about to do is an act of weakness, running away from the problem, the pain. It will be heart breaking for me, and you, as well.

I'm sure it is better this way though. By the time you read this, I will be gone far and deep into freedom. So, goodbye my Cherry Blossom, you are the beautiful flower I can never have…don't try to follow me, I won't come back.

I am sorry to drag your son into this, but Hiroshi wants to come too. I can't stop him from hating Haruka.

As this is the last form as communication I will have with you, I want to tell you that I love you, and that I hope you will live in happiness for the rest of your life… (despite my leaving)

Good Bye,

Sasuke.
