~The Kindest Demon

Edited (minor details and grammar)


This would take some work.

"Sasuke, I'm sure Father will go to your entrance ceremony. I'll talk to him." Sasuke's small eyes filled with happiness as he admired his older brother. Sasuke wrapped his arms around his brother in sheer joy,

"So, I can go to school tomorrow?" Itachi hugged the small body now plastered to his chest,

"Of course."


The Uchiha brothers had gotten home and Itachi had ben carrying his young brother on his back. Sasuke had hurt his ankle in the forest while trying to reenact one of Itachi's training moves. Itachi let sasuke down onto his feet lightly and spun around to face his sibling.

"Are you alright?" He spoke softly, scared to alarm their father who was definitely home. Sasuke nodded, understanding the danger. Mikoto came into the doorway, admiring her sons.

"Whats the matter, Sasuke?" Sasuke Looked up at his Oka-san and smiled wearily at her,

"I hurt m-" Sasuke began.

"He's Fine, Just a twist, Mother." Itachi glared at his mother. Mikoto huffed.

"Well, do you need anything?" She said quite loudly.

"No." Itachi replied sharply, he lifted his brother off his feet and carried him bridal style into his bed room. Sasukes room was hardly occupied, Itachi thought it safer if he remained with him.

After placing the innocent on his bed, Itachi walked over to his closet and took out a small tin box that had a Red cross on the top, he opened the box and took out a small bundle of bandages, then placed the box safely back in his closet. Smiling, he turned to his brother,

" This will do. " Itachi straightened up and walked towards his brother, taking his hurt ankle into his delicate hands, and placing his thumbs at the top of his ankle he pushed lightly and looked up at Sasuke,

"Tell me when it hurts" Sasuke concentrated on his ankle as Itachi lowered his hands down his ankle and pressed again. After a few more presses Sasuke let out a small whimper,

"Itai..." He almost whispered, afraid to hurt his young ego. Itachi simply took the bandages and began wrapping the ankle,

"You should be more careful next time, Sasuke." He scolded. Sasuke turned his head away.

"I know... I just wanted to be like my nii-san." Itachi finished wrapping the ankle and placed his brothers foot down; slowly, as to not hurt the small boy. Itachi checked the clock in the corner of his small room.

"Well, It'll be time for supper soon, what would you like to do?" Sasuke smiled a devilish grin at his brother. Itachi knew what he was going to say, it was Sasukes favorite game.

"Can we play Snakes and Ladders?!" Sasuke Exclaimed happily. Itachi simply brought his hand to the bridge of his nose and sighed.

"Of course we can." Sasuke began flailing his arms then quickly stopped and brought them down at his side's, inhaling deeply.

"Can you get it?!" He said, trying to keep his calm, it was very rare that Itachi would play Snakes and Ladders with him. Itachi walked off to get the game.

After supper, Itachi walked to his room and Sasuke went to get changed for bed. Itachi listened intently, hearing each movement his father made,

'From the kitchen, to Living room, Walking down the hall,' Itachi clenched when he heard the footsteps stop at Sasuke's room. He inhaled and prepare to go out and defend his sibling. It would seem Fugaku liked the nights he had been having with Itachi so much he had to see what it was like with Sasuke, but just as Itachi stood, The footsteps passed. Itachi fell back onto his bed, wearing only his boxers. His exposed chest showed pain and torture, Deep cuts and Bruises covered it as paint to a canvas. Completely evident marks of being held too hard were visible on his sides and the deepest of slashes stood proudly on his back. Itachi resented his father; hated him with a passion, but he knew there was more of a reason behind the torture and Pain his father was inflicting on him.

Flashback.

After performing the dirtiest of deeds to his own son, Fugaku pulled out of his son and held him tightly, memories of a once forbidden love, running through his head. His breathing was heavy and his son was crying uncontrollably, like any other night. As memories ran through his head he couldn't help but whisper,

"Minato..."

Itachi stopped wide-eyed at the mention of the fourth Hokage's name, tears still falling from his eyes.

End Flashback.

Itachi sighed as he threw on a shirt to hide then dishonnor and dirtiness signified by each cut and bruise. The footsteps continued toward the room and the door swung open, Itachi turned his head so his father would see only his profile, Fugaku spoke with the same fatherly voice as usual.

"You need your rest for tomorow, Sleep well." As Fugaku went to leave he was stopped by Itachi's strong voice.

"I wont be going." Fugaku swung the door open and spoke hurridly,

"Why not?!" Itachi kept a cool head replying with a simple,

"It's Sasuke's first day of school tomorow."

"What does tha-" Fugaku bagan,

"I expect you'll be going?"

"No."

"Then I am not leaving the house tomorow."

"Itachi, You will be going tomorow! You know why!" Fugaku truly believed Itachi was the future of the Uchiha clan; He knew that Itachi would be one of the strongest people in the world, and planned to use him against Konoha in an Attack for the Uchiha's to take their true place at the top of the leaf village; Itachi would be the main link in the war against Konoha.

"No, I will not, If you do not attend Sasuke's Opening ceremony, I will not become and anbu captain, end of story." Fugaku clenched his jaw and hands. After a pause to calm himself, Fugaku spoke,

"Of course... I'll go to Sasuke's opening ceremony." Fugaku relaxed his muscles and walked out, closing the door loudly behind himself; As though a child who hadn't gotten their way. Itachi now had the perfect weapon if his father went to his room that night. Itachi got in bed and turned off his bedside lamp. Small footsteps approached his door and stopped,

"Itachi...?" It was a whisper.

"Yes, Sasuke?" Itachi replied.

"Is he going to my ceremony...?" There was fear in Sasukes voice, Itachi turned in his bed and beckoned in the dark for Sasuke to come close; Sasuke did as he was told and ran to Itachi's side.

"Yes, Sasuke, He will." Sasuke jumped on his brother, delighted at the good news,

"Arigatou Gozaimasu!" Itachi smiled and hugged Sasuke back,

"Doitashimashite."
