Age eight

"Naruto?" Sasuke slowly stroked the blonde's back as he shook from the force of his own stomach convulsing. His Aunt had forced him to eat spoiled food as punishment in the morning for not cleaning the kitchen properly. When he arrived at school, he ran straight to the bathroom to rid his stomach of the vile taste.

Sasuke sighed as he looked at the boy beside him. Naruto had been sick for almost 20 minutes. He wanted to take the blonde to the nurse, but knew if he did that, that the nurse would ask questions and call his aunt and then there would be more problems for Naruto. So the nurse was out of the question.

Slowly, Naruto sat up. His back against the door of the bathroom as he tried to breath. A taste of his own vomit in his mouth made him squirm. Sasuke reached into his bag and pulled out a juice cartoon a girl had given him when he was on the bus. "Drink this slowly, it'll help your stomach settle."

Naruto smiled and took it. As he was about half way done with the juice box, the raven put a pill in his hand. "It's antacid. It'll help along with the juice." Naruto thanked him again and took it with the rest of the juice. "I guess we should go to class now huh?" Naruto got up and left the stall with Sasuke beside him.

When they reached their teacher's room, they were surprised he wasn't there either. They looked around and sighed and sat at their desks. Of course their teacher wasn't there yet. The man was lazy and pervert that had a thing for their first grade teacher.

"We should go sit before he gets here." The two made their way to the back of the room like always. They didn't like sitting in the front since they knew teachers paid close attention to those sitting close to them. And they didn't want any teachers to see their injuries.

"What do you think we'll be doing today Sasuke?" Naruto rested his head on his arms as he looked up at the raven. "Probably nothing. Kakashi-sensei might just give us worksheets and say 'look in the book' and then leave it to us."

"You read my mind Sasuke." Kakashi had walked in at that very moment and began to hand out papers. "Work in teams of two everyone. I'll be here if you need me."

Naruto sighed. "And I thought that school would be more exciting than this." He laughed at his own comment. "Alright then, I guess we should get started."

Sasuke and Naruto were the first to get done. They took only 10 minutes out of the 50 they had been given and sat quietly talking to each other. "So then, she yelled at me because I forgot to wash one plate and because there was a bit of lint on the floor after I passed the broom." Sasuke looked at the blonde as he went on what had happened after he had gotten home. But Sasuke wasn't paying attention to the blonde's words. He couldn't help but think at how Naruto stayed with a smile on his face after what happens to him almost daily.

"And that's what happened." Sasuke nodded his head after Naruto finished. He hissed as someone scooted back and their desk hit Sasuke's back. He gritted his teeth and tried to hold back a scream that was threatening to rip from his lips. He looked towards Naruto with pain written all over his face. "Come with me to the bathroom. Bring bag too alright?" Sasuke slowly got up and went to Kakashi.

"I have to go to the bathroom, and so does Naruto." Kakashi looked at the two and waved them off.

When they arrived in the bathroom at the end of an empty hall, Sasuke took in deep breathes and let a small yell out. He slid to the floor and made sure his back didn't touch the wall. Naruto looked at his friend with concern and bit his bottom lip. "Sasuke? What's wrong? What hurts?" The raven tried to breath evenly and looked up at the blonde.

"Take out…the things in my bag." Naruto quickly pulled out the things and couldn't help but think of the worst. Slowly, he went over to Sasuke and helped him pull off his shirt.

Cuts and bruises littered the raven's back. Some of the cuts were fresh while some were almost completely healed. Naruto took one of the sanitizer cloth ad lightly ran it over some of the cuts that had opened themselves. Sasuke flinched as he felt the stinging pain. After the blood that had ran down was cleaned, Naruto put medical tape with bandages on the wounds so they would stay closed. He took one of the large medical bandages and wrapped it around Sasuke's back and across his chest. He made sure it would be slightly tight so it wouldn't droop or slide off.

"Alright, you're all set. Do they still hurt?" Sasuke shook his head and sighed. "Thanks." Naruto smiled and lightly pecked the raven on the cheek. "I guess we're even today huh? You helped me and I helped you right?"

Sasuke smiled and nodded. He slowly got up from the floor and kissed Naruto's nose which made him blush. "Come on, we got to go back to class before Kakashi-sensei decides to care."

As both boys walked down the hall, Sasuke couldn't help but feel something was odd. Then, as he looked back. There, in the shadows, he saw Itachi.

The older raven smirked and casually walked down to meet his brother. "Hello, Sasuke." The younger raven shivered and held on tight to Naruto's hand.

'Sasuke…let me take control. Remember, I'm also you.' The young raven mentally nodded and closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

A smirk spread across his face before he opened his eyes. "Why are you smiling Sasuke? Are you just that happy to see me?" Itachi walked closer and stood only two feet away from the pair. "Actually, yes, I am my dear older brother." That wasn't the response the older raven was expecting.

"I see. Well, I guess you have a new friend right? Does my mother and father know about this? Or should I tell them the good news?"

'Sasuke' let go of Naruto's hand and looked at him. "Go back to class alright Naruto? I'll be there in a bit." Naruto bit his bottom lip ad did as he was told. He knew he shouldn't interfere with family.

After he was out of sight, The young raven looked at Itachi. "So Sasuke-" 'Sasuke' began to laugh which confused Itachi, but made sure he didn't look it. "Call me Shido. Sasuke's taking a nap right now. "

Itachi was not amused. "Fine then, Shido. So tell me, how long have you and my brother been…one?" Shido kept his smile. "Oh, a few years now, but that's non of your business." Itachi gritted his teeth and then smirked. "I guess my mother and father need to know you're insane huh? And they need to know about you making a 'friend'. Well, Sasuke making a friend." The older raven turned around and began to walk away until a hand grabbed his shirt.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." The older raven turned to look into gray eyes. "And why ever not?" Shido let go of his shirt and sighed. "I'll kill you personally." Itachi thought for a second and smirked. "Alright. I guess I'll keep this to myself. For now."
