.:Third POV:.
Itachi and Sasuke rode in their carriage through the desert, getting nearer and nearer to the tallest mountain. They stopped for a small break, Sasuke handed his elder brother some cookies but Itachi shook his head even without giving it a glance. He suddenly stood up, and Sasuke frowned. The elder Uchiha walked to the back of the carriage and took out his box of books, he swiftly walked over to the cliff and threw it over, watching it collide with the sand . Sasuke stood up in shock, the books were so precious to Itachi that it meant his own life!
"Itachi! I thought those books are precious to you, why'd you throw it down the cliff?" Sasuke asked.
"It means nothing now that I'm being married to some freak up in the mountain," the feminine Uchiha spat out bitterly. Sasuke laid his hand on his elder brothers' left should, in a comforting manner.
"Pein-sama isn't a freak, aniki *big brother*," the raven answered softly, "To be able to become the leader of a village for the rich at such a young age, proves that his abilities is beyond others."
"That's exactly what makes him a freak. Someone so abnormal," Itachi muttered. Sasuke swallowed thickly, it is impossible to change his brothers' thoughts. Once he believes something, no matter what you say he will always turn the pointer around. Except when their father told him that he has to marry Yahiko Pein *Okay, okay. I know, Yahiko isn't Peins' last name but I mean that in this story 'Pein' is Yahikos' body. The one wif short hair and piercing lining down his nose. So I decided to use the body's name as his last name and the name he is known with as his first.*
"Besides, I don't want to sit around for the rest of my life being a stupid uke *the person who plays the girl in a boyXboy (yaoi) relationship*, acting like some housewife who listens like an obedient puppy," the weasel pointed out. Sasuke felt guilt gather in his chest, it was his fault that Itachi had to get married to Yahiko Pein up in the village of Akatsuki *XD*. All his fault, just because he was selfish.
bFlashback/b
"What? You're marrying me to Yahiko Pein, up in the desert mountains? What the fuck, otou-san? *Father?* Get Itachi to marry him! He's much more feminine than me! I can't be a housewife!" Sasuke screamed, his father was outraged.
"Itachi has much more talent than you! You know nothing, Sasuke! Our family might seem high and mighty but now we only have the shell! We're going bankrupt! But if you marry Pein-sama then we'll get the marriage money, and we can pay the debts!" His father screamed back with just as much force.
Mikoto sat in a corner whimpering, she hated it when they fight. Itachi is much more calm than his little brother. That's one of the reasons why their father liked him better, besides the fact that he is more talented in managing and business.
"You don't understand, Sasuke! From your birth I have already injected a special type of medicine into you to make it possible for you can get pregnant! Itachi doesn't!" Fugaku said.
"Actually… There was something I was meant to tell you, Fugaku-danna *Danna= owner/master. Sometimes it also means husband, due to Chinese and Japanese tradition that when a women marries she belongs to her husband and is part of his property*," Mikoto interrupted.
"What?"
"You accidentally injected into Itachi instead of Sasuke…" Fugakus' jaw dropped to the ground and Sasuke chuckled at his fathers' stupidity.
bEnd Of Flashback/b
"Aniki, it's not so bad…. You'll get to wear pretty clothes-" Sasuke was cut off by Itachi.
"You mean pretty Iwoman/I clothes. I have to freaken cross-dress for the rest of my fucking entire life! How degrading!" Itachi screamed as he turned around to face his brother. Sasuke was shocked, for the first time his elder brother was crying and screaming.
"Itac-"
"Don't Itachi me! I heard everything you said to otou-san that day!" Sasuke gasped, so his brother knew all along?
"I really didn't mean to… to…" He didn't know what to say next. Well, he did rather Itachi being married far away than himself.
All he could do is lock his elder and an inch shorter brother, in an embrace.
"Don't touch me!" Itachi pushed him away and stomped back onto the carriage. Shisui gave Sasuke a disapproving look, he was their horseman for this journey. Sasuke looked down to his shoes and followed his brother into the carriage. Itachi didn't even look at his face, it felt like someone was sprinkling salt onto his wound.
Throughout the rest of the day they didn't talk, or even if they did, it was more like Sasuke saying something and getting totally ignored by his brother.
"We're nearly arriving at the bottom of the mountain, you'll be staying there for 2 more days before you marry, Itachi," Shisui said as he glanced back at his feminine younger cousin sympathetically.
"Arigatou *Thank you*, Shisui-san," Itachi answered. He looked down at his dress and frowned. The dress was freaking annoying, blue frills lined the edge of the pale pink fabric and the sleeves reached his fingertips, too girly for his taste. The top half of his hair was gathered to the left and held up at the top of his head with small red hair clips, lining it so that it'd fall to the right side and the other half was let free, his bangs covered his forehead.
"I-I heard that the family who is looking after you has a son who is also marrying up the mountain on the same day as you!" Sasuke said, trying to start a conversation with his brother. Itachi looked up with slight interest.
"Oh?"
"Y-Yeah! If I recall correctly, his name is Ara or something like that…" Sasuke said. Itachi nodded and looked out the window again. Sasuke sighed, there goes his chance to talk to Itachi.
Finally they reached the house at the bottom of the mountain, a lady with blonde hair was standing outside waiting of them, "Konban wa *Good evening*, I'm Temari. My family and I will be looking after you for the next few days," she said politely. Itachi stepped out of the carriage and a young boy who was standing unnoticed behind the door gasped.
"Wow, he's really pretty!" Gaara said as he ran to his elder brother, Kankuro, who was cooking in the backyard. .
"Of course, Pein-sama has to use high quality things," Kankuro answered without looking up from his cooking. Gaara frowned.
"He's a person, not a thing," Gaara defended. Kankuro looked up from his cooking.
"Gaara, Gaara, Gaara. You're so Inaïve/I, trust me. Marrying someone and being the uke is the same as being a wife except you don't get as much power, your husband owns you and you automatically become a thing. They can use you anyway they want, when you marry Hyuuga Neji *Its not gonna be NejiGaa!* up in the mountain as his concubine then you should know your place." Kankuro said as he return his attention to the food.
"N-no way!," Gaara gasped in disbelief.
"Accept the truth, it's too bad that you didn't come from a good family, being able to get married up the mountain is good enough, even if you're the concubine. Thank the heavens that that woman Tenten isn't the bitchy type, or else as his wife she has the power to torture you," Kankuro said. He laid the food out onto the dish and washed his hands. Temaris' voice was heard from the front yard.
"Gaara! Kankuro! Come and greet Itachi-sama!" She called. Kankuro and Gaara hurried to the front yard, Kankuros' eyes boggled at the sight of the Uchiha and Gaara bowed shyly.
"Hn," Sasuke grunted.
"Hello," Itachi greeted with a nod of approval.
"Hey yo," Shisui chirped.
"My names' Kankuro!" Kankuro chuckled. Shisui looked at him surprised and then they broke out laughing like hyenas. *get it? Hey yo and Kan-ku-ro? It rhymes*
"Dude, I like you," Shisui said.
"Yeah, I do too," Kankuro sang. They started laughing again and was soon locked in their little rapping world. Itachi rolled his eyes and Sasuke muttered some curses, Temari shook her head embarrassedly and Gaara was wondering if he was the one to look after Itachi.
"Gaara, take Itachi-sama to his room and do as he say," Temari ordered. Gaara hurriedly showed Itachi to his room, it was a small wood room, but the Uchiha didn't mind.
"So your name is Gaara?" Itachi asked. Gaara nodded.
"Is there anything you need, Itachi-sama?"
"No, I'm fine. You don't have to add -sama to my name. I don't mind," Itachi said as he sat down on the bed, "So I heard that you are also getting married to someone up the mountain, right?"
"H-Hai *Y-yes*, but I'm only the concubine. Tenten-san is his wife," Gaara answered. Itachi got his comb out and started combing his hair, "Let me help you," Gaara offered. Itachi nodded and Gaara went over to take the green jade comb with flower shaped rubies on it from Itachi. He brushed it through the Uchihas' long silky raven hair.
"It doesn't matter, does it? Being his wife or his concubine doesn't matter. You still end up being someone else's' property. No freedom," Itachi told him. Gaara shook his head slowly.
"I don't mind. It is good enough that I even GET to go up the mountain. To tell the truth, I've only been chosen because Neji-sama is sick and is unconscious. It is believed that when a man is unconscious, you should do something happy to help him recover like marrying, and I happen to be the only person that is single and doesn't mind not being the wife," Gaara explained.
"You don't mind getting your freedom taken away from you?"
"No, I never had any to start with," Gaara answered. Itachi looked at him sympathetically.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Lee stepped off his carriage. He was nearly there, back to the village that had caused him so much grief. Back to get revenge, but that was when it struck him. After 4 years of being kicked out, after 4 years of suffering, he had never thought of HOW he will get revenge…. *XD*
"Shit," He muttered. But who gives a damn? He'll just think of his revenge as he walks towards the village. He couldn't believe himself, after he made lots of money, lived another life and he had never thought of how to get revenge? Besides, who will he get revenge on? The whole village? Excluding some people that helped him? Yeah, that sound good. Lee chuckled to himself lowly as he walked through the desert.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Itachi sighed as he rolled around on his bed. He decided to go for a 'walk' and then get 'lost', then he wouldn't have to marry! Great idea! He got up from bed and sneaked outside, he walked in the direction that he came from. Soon he reached a cave and went in, inside was a man in a suit, he looked a few years older than Itachi, he had thick brows and a bowling-ball hair-cut.
"Hello," the man greeted. Itachi nodded.
"What are you doing here? Judge by the way you're dress, you are from a wealthy family, right?" Itachi nodded again and the man continued.
"Are you from up the mountains?"
"Soon I'll be," the Uchiha spoke for the first time and the man chuckled.
"Well, don't say I didn't warn you. They have strict rules there between a man and a woman and even between someone that plays seme and uke," he said.
"Are you from the mountain?"
"Used to be," the man answered again.
"I'm Uchiha Itachi," Itachi said. This man seemed… Quite interesting.
"Rock Lee, so what are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Lee asked.
"I…I'm forced by my clan to marry Yahiko Pein… But I don't want to… So I….," Itachi suddenly paused, not wanting to continue.
"So you decide to delay the marriage ceremony *wedding*?" Lee asked. The younger man nodded, he chuckled and Itachi looked up in surprise.
"What's so funny?" Itachi asked, frowning.
"You think that'll work? According to the village rules, you'll be hunt down and thrown into the river to drown if you run away," Lee said bitterly.
"So what? I rather that then get married to some freak." Lee shook his head slowly.
"No, if I were you, I'd marry Pein and live a good life, maybe even help him with business. Prove to everyone in your clan who forced you to marry him that it was their mistake. That you're worthy to keep, show them that you are way better than them. That if they kept you then you could've helped the clan from bankruptcy," Lee said. Itachi looked up at him.
"How? I heard that Yahiko Pein is a cold-hearted, arrogant, violent and twisted bastard. Letting me help him with business? In my dreams," the Uchiha chuckled. Lees' eye-brows knitted.
"Pein isn't as bad as he is rumoured. People often misunderstands him because of his cold personality. He only follows the rules like a robot, but there are reasons behind it." Lee explained.
"So you're saying that I should marry him? That I should let some stranger dominate me?" Itachi asked confused.
"Not exactly, but I'm saying that if your clan wants you to marry him means that there is a reason behind it. Marrying him and letting him dominate you are two different things. Follow the rules and marry him but that doesn't mean you have to give him whatever he wants. You belong to yourself, no one else," Lee told him.
"Hm, it's interesting to talk to you, Lee-san. Rock Lee, I'll remember that name," Itachi said as he got up. Before he walked out of the cave Lee said to him.
"Nice to meet you too, Itachi-kun. We might be in the same village soon. Life is pretty unexpected." And with that they took separate ways, Itachi headed back to the house where he was suppose to be and Lee headed up the mountain.
