No No 22: HI! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!! THIS IS SO AWSOME!!!!

Naruto: ...I never ever heard you greet us like that No No-chan!

Sasuke: Yeah...

Itachi: Are you in a good mood, No No-chan?

Sasuke: WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE!?

No No 22: Sasuke-kun, I invited Itachi-kun again. But if you want! I can tell Itachi-kun to leave, Sasuke-kun. Ne Sasuke-kun! Go out with me!

Sasuke: ...You called me Sasuke-kun...and you just asked me out!!! (puts a kunai to No No 22's throat) Who are and what have you done with the real No No 22!?

No No 22: What are you talking about Sasuke-kun! I am No No 22! Can't you recognize me!?

Naruto: No No-chan would never call Sasuke, Sasuke-kun! Maybe Sasu-kun, but never Sasuke-kun! And No No-chan would never ask Sasuke out! She's too much of fan of SasuNaru to ever interfere with SasuNaru!!!!

Itachi: Naruto-kun is right. She's a major yaoi fan to ever interfere with any yaoi couple! That and she never really over reacts like most fangirls-no offence to any fangirls-like you did in the beginning of this A/N! Who are you!?

No No 22: (smirks) Alright you caught me...I'm not No No 22...I'm actually...(takes off mask)

Everyone: (gasp)

Chapter Five

Tragedy Ruins Everything pt. 3


"Ohayo(good morning)!" Sasuke said cheerfully as he entered the kitchen.

"Ohayo Sasuke-chan!" Mikoto said cheerfully who was by the sink.

"Ohayo Sasuke," Fugaku said who was sitting at the table. Sasuke smiled cheerfully. "How's Naruto doing?"

"He's resting, but he's getting better!" Sasuke said with a smile. Fugaku smiled as well.

"Good," Fugaku said.

"Ne, where's Itachi-niichan?" Sasuke said as he noticed that his older brother wasn't in the kitchen. Mikoto put a finger on her chin thoughtfully.

"I think he's still in the doorway..." Mikoto said. Sasuke nodded.

"Okay," Sasuke as he walked off to look for Itachi. Sure enough, Sasuke found Itachi sitting in the doorway, putting on his shoes. Sasuke smiled.

"Niichan!" Sasuke said cheerfully. Itachi looked up, his face expressionless.

"Yes Sasuke-kun?" Itachi said. Sasuke blushed lightly.

"I was wondering...um...if you can help me with my shuriken jutsu?" Sasuke said with a shy smile. Itachi stared at Sasuke for a moment.

"Not today Sasuke-kun. Why don't you ask Father to help you?" Itachi said. Sasuke frowned.

"Aw, come on niichan! You're way much better at it than Father! I mean, even I can see that!" Sasuke said. Itachi stared at Sasuke for a moment before he gestured Sasuke to come with his hand. Sasuke walked towards Itachi as the teen raised a hand. Realizing what Itachi was going to do, Sasuke tried to back away, but he was too slow. Itachi stabbed Sasuke in the forehead with his two fingers.

"I'm sorry Sasuke-kun...some other time. I'm busy today...and I really don't have for this," Itachi said. Sasuke looked up at his wound and frowned.

"You always do that!" Sasuke complained as he touched his forehead. "You never have time and you always stab me in the forehead and say 'I'm sorry Sasuke-kun."

Itachi stared at the ground with a strange look. Sasuke blinked in wonder.

"Niichan...why do you treat me like a pest?" Sasuke said uncertainly. Itachi looked at Sasuke before he got up and walked out of the house, leaving a very confused Sasuke behind. Sasuke blinked a few times in confusion.

-x- -x-

"Otosan(father)...how come...niichan doesn't pay any attention to me anymore...?" Sasuke asked Fugaku. After a few moments, standing in the doorway, Sasuke had returned to the kitchen, and was now sitting by Fugaku. Fugaku sighed wearily.

"He's a strange kid," Fugaku started. Sasuke raised a brow in wonder. "You're brother has a hard time letting his gaurd down around people and letting them in."

"Why?" Sasuke asked. Fugaku sighed.

"I don't know...I mean, I'm the boy's father, and even I can't read him," Fugaku said.

"Ah..." Sasuke said. Mikoto turned around from the counter with Sasuke's lunch in her hand, wearing a smile on her face.

"Alright Sasuke-chan! Here's your lunch! And don't worry, I'll help you with your practice," Mikoko said cheerfully. Sasuke grabbed his lunch and frowned slightly.

"It's not just practice, it's actual training," Sasuke said with a pout. Mikoto laughed lightly and nodded.

-x- -x-

"Well I'm off!" Sasuke called out to his parents as he closed the door to his house. Sasuke walked down the streets of the Uchiha village, headed towards school. As he walked, Sasuke passed a woman around her fifties sweeping the outside of her house.

"Why hello Sasuke-kun," the woman said.

"Hello Auntie," Sasuke said cheerfully.

"Heading off to school, ne?" Sasuke's aunt said with a smile. Sasuke nodded. "You know I saw your brother today. He's grown into such a man. He graduated the academy at the age of seven and became chuunin at the age of ten!"

"Yeah! And he was able to use sharingan at the age of eight!" Sasuke said happily. Sasuke's aunt nodded with a bright smile.

"Yes, that boy is the pride of the Uchiha clan! ...How old are you Sasuke-kun?" Sasuke's aunt suddenly asked. Sasuke gasped in surprise and scowled.

'I'm around the age when niichan graduated from the academy,' Sasuke thought.

"Don't be pestering Sasuke, dear," a man around his fifties said as he came from out of his house. The man looked at Sasuke and smiled. "Sasuke, you come from the Uchiha clan just like your brother. I'm sure you'll become an excellent shinobi just like your brother one day and in your own way."

Sasuke stared at the man and smiled.

"Hai(right)!" Sasuke said cheerfully. Sasuke then waved at the ederly. "Well I'm off! Bye, Uncle, Auntie!"

"Bye Sasuke-kun! Do your best and study hard in school!" both elderly said, waving to Sasuke as the young Uchiha ran off to school.

-x- -x-

'Yes. Niichan is an excellent shinobi. And I'm sure I can be a good one as well!' Sasuke thought as he took notes in his class

-x- -x-

Sasuke threw shurikens at a log, not missing once.

'I'll work harder than I do now,' Sasuke thought as he threw some more shurikens at the log. Sasuke frowned. 'I'll deffinitely catch up to Itachi-niichan! I won't lose to him!'

-x- -x-

Crystal clear eyes shut closed tightly as Naruto coughed violently. Naruto groaned miserably and put a hand on his forehead. His forehead was still hot but not as hot as it was in the morning. Naruto looked out the window next to his bed; it was already sunset. The blonde frowned worriedly.

"Sasuke still isn't back... D-did something happen to him," Naruto said fearfully as he recalled his nightmare. Naruto shook his head. "No...Sasuke is strong...Itachi-san will never hurt him or anyone. He's too kind to do that!"

Naruto heard an owl hoot outside his window. The blonde sighed tiredly and slowly sat up on his bed. Slowly, Naruto crawled on his bed to the window. He leaned against the frame of the window and looked out of it. He saw the people of the Uchiha clan walking through the streets, minding their own buisness. Naruto smiled softly, hoping that he would get better soon so he could be outside again with everyone else.

"Sasuke..." Naruto sighed with a soft smile. "It's only been a few hours...and I miss you already."

Naruto giggled softly.

"I wouldn't last a week without you by my side! ...I wonder if you feel the same way," Naruto said, scrunching his nose thoughtfully. Naruto shrugged and giggled. The blonde continued to look out the window, watching everyone walk to their house or someone elses.

"Naru-chan! Why are you giggling?" Mikoto's voice suddenly said from behind Naruto. Naruto slightly jumped and turned around to see Mikoto in his room smiling.

"Mikoto-sama! You scared me!" Naruto said with a small pout. Mikoto laughed lightly.

"I'm sorry Naru-chan. I heard you giggling and I came to see what was so funny. I didn't mean to scare you, Naru-chan," Mikoto said as she sat on Naruto's bed. Naruto smiled.

"It's okay Mikoto-sama!" Naruto said. Mikoto frowned slightly.

"Naru-chan! I told you so many times! You can call me Okasan(mother)!" Mikoto said cheerfully. Naruto smiled and sweatdropped.

"H-hai...Okasan," Naruto said shyly. Mikoto smiled and huged Naruto tightly.

"Naru-chan, you're so cute! You look even cuter when you're shy!" Mikoto said. Naruto laughed and hugged Mikoto back.

"Ne? What about Sasuke?" Naruto said. Mikoto loosened her grip on Naruto.

"My little Sasuke-chan is also cute, isn't he! Awww! Youre both cute! I'm so glad that I'm the mother of both of you!" Mikoto said happily, giving Naruto one last squeeze before letting the blonde go. Naruto smiled shyly at Mikoto who just beamed at Naruto. Mikoto stood up from the bed and gave Naruto a stern look. "Now, Naru-chan, you should get some rest! You still hae a fever!"

"Mikoto is right Naruto," Fugaku's voice said from the door. Naruto looked over at Fugaku and smiled.

"Hai, Fugaku-sama!" Naruto said happily. Mikoto tutted.

"No Naru-chan! Call him Otosan! I'm giving you permission," Mikoto said. Naruto sweatdropped and nodded.

"Uh hai Okasan," Naruto said. Naruto looked at Fugaku who was giving Naruto a small smile. Naruto smiled. "Good-night Otosan! Okasan!"

"Good-night Naruto," Fugaku said. Mikoto gave Naruto a warm hug.

"Good-night Naru-chan!" Mikoto said and kissed Naruto on the forehead. "We love you."

Naruto looked at Mikoto with a shocked face; no one has ever told him that before. Naruto smiled softly and nodded.

"Me...too," Naruto said uncertainly. Mikoto and Fugaku smiled softly. They both headed towards the door, but before they could leave Naruto's room, Naruto said, "What about Sasuke?"

"Nani(what)?" Mikoto and Fugaku said in unison, looking at Naruto.

"Sasuke... Do you love him too?" Naruto asked. He didn't know why, but he had a feeling he should ask. Mikoto and Fugaku looked at Naruto in surprise, but then smiled softly.

"Of course we do! He's our son!" Mikoto said happily.

"Okay," Naruto said with a smile as he laid himself on his bed.

"Get some sleep Naru-chan!" Mikoto said as she and Fugaku left, closing the door behind them. Naruto laid there, thinking when was Sasuke going to come back home. Naruto looked out the window to see, it was dark. Naruto sighed.

"Sasuke...where are you?" Naruto said softly as his eyes dropped closed.

BAM!

Naruto's opened wide open as he heard the loud crash. Naruto sat up and looked around; there was nothing...everything was still. Naruto slowly got out of bed, shaking slightly. Naruto made his way to the door, wondering what was that loud crash.

BAM!

Naruto jumped as he heard another crash. Suddenly thinking of Fugaku and Mikoto, Naruto grabbed the door knob and swunged it open. Naruto made his way through the hall way clumsily. Naruto panted as he felt his fever get worse. The blonde wanted to stop and go to sleep, but just the thought of Mikoto and Fugaku being hurt pushed him foreward. Naruto reached the kitchen to find nothing. He went to every bedroom to find nothing as well.

'That leaves the living room,' Naruto thought as beads of sweat ran down his his tan face. Naruto made his way to the living room as quick as he could. When he finally made it, he stood in front of two doors. Naruto panted as he slowly reached out for the handle, but suddenly...he couldn't move. Naruto eyes widened in fear as he recalled not being able to move in his dream.

'No...it can't be happening,' Naruto thought fearfully. Naruto shook slightly. 'I-I got to m-move!'

Naruto struglled against the invisible force until finally...he was able to open the doors. Naruto ran inside and looked around fearfully.

"Sasuke!?" Naruto said loudly, as he looked around. Sasuke wasn't there...instead...Mikoto and Fugaku were sitting on the ground, side to side, with their heads hanging down. Naruto froze when he saw Mikoto and Fugaku. "Okasan...Otosan!"

Mikoto and Fugaku looked up, fear filling their eyes.

"Naruto! Run! Go!" Fugaku yelled out as Naruto took a step forward. Naruto stopped and stared at them in fear.

"Naruto run! You have to get out of here! Find Sasuke and get out of here!" Mikoto yelled, tears forming in her eyes. Naruto continued to stare fearfully at them.

"But-

"JUST GO!" Both Fugaku and Mikoto yelled desperately. Before Naruto could say anything else, there were footsteps from behind Fugaku and Mikoto.

"Liars..." came a voice. Naruto eyes widened in fear. He knew that voice...that voice...he hears the voice every day...and in his nightmare. Itachi walked out into the light, making Naruto's heart stop for a brief moment. Itachi stared blankily at his parents then to Naruto.

"Foolish demon," Itachi said, making Naruto shake from fear. "You're so clueless...so naive...so loveless."

'No...no...NO!' Naruto thought fearfully. "I-Itachi-san...why...no...you can't kill them! You can't kill anyone! Itachi-san...is too kind to kill a-anyone."

Tears formed in Naruto's crystal clear eyes. Itachi stared at Naruto blankily for a long time. Suddenly, Itachi reached out and grabbed his sword. Naruto flinched.

"NO! Please don't! You can't!" Naruto sobbed out. Naruto fell to his knees, sobbing. "Y-you can't k-kill! I-it's not l-like y-you Itachi-san!"

"Foolish Naruto-kun," Itachi said...his voice containing sadness. Noticing the sadness in his voice, Naruto looked up at Itachi as he raised his sword. "Naruto-kun...please look away..."

Before Naruto had the chance to ask why or argue, Itachi swung his sword at his parent, cutting at their throats. Naruto's eyes went wide and the blonde bagan to shake violently.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Naruto yelled before he became unconsious. Itachi stared at the bloody mess he made, then at Naruto. Itachi walked towards Naruto and picked him up. Itachi looked at the small boy in his arms sadly.

"I told you to turn away," Itachi said softly.

-x- -x-

"Ah! I'm so late! I hope Naruto's not mad!" Sasuke said as he ran through the streets of his clan's village. The moon hung above Sasuke, behind a pole where a dark figure stared down at the young Uchiha with blood red eyes. Sasuke stopped and looked up at the pole only to see nothing, but the big moon. Sasuke blinked in confusion.

"Huh...I swear I saw someone on that pole...oh well," Sasuke said as he continued his way to his house. As Sasuke ran, his eyes widened as he notticed that the lights were off in each house. Sasuke stopped running again and looked around. "It's too early for everyone to be in bed already...Naruto!"

The thought of something wrong happened, Sasuke thought of Naruto's safety. Sasuke ran towards his house faster than he had been running, his mind focused on a certain blonde. Sasuke turned a corner and froze in fear. Everything...was destroyed...dead corpses' were lying on the ground...blood was splattered everywhere on the walls. Sasuke's eyes widened in fear and shock as he took in every detail.

"W-what happened? ...Naruto!" Sasuke said as he ran even more faster. "Naruto...please be okay!"

As Sasuke came to a complete halt in front of his house, Sasuke breath became uneven and husky. Sasuke slowly opened his door and stepped inside.

"Naruto!? Niichan!? Okasan!? O-Otosan!?" Sasuke called out through out the house as he took off his shoes and dropped his school bag. "A-are you in here!?"

Sasuke got no answer and began to worry and get scared. The first thing that crossed his mind was Naruto. Without hesitation, Sasuke ran towards his room, wondering if Naruto was okay.

"Naruto!?" Sasuke yelled as he opened the door to his and Naruto's room. His eyes widened in fear when he saw Naruto's empty bed. Sasuke backed away from the door and looked around hinself. "Where...could he be! ...The living room!"

Sasuke then quickly ran towards the living room. When he saw the doors to the living room he slowed his pace until he came to a complete stop in front of the doors. Sasuke gasped in shock.

'Someone's here... I-I can't move! I have to move! Naruto might be hurt! Come one...move!' Sasuke thought as he struggled to move. Slowly, Sasuke grabbed the handles to the doors and swung them open, running inside.

"Naruto!" Sasuke yelled out looking around. Sasuke's heart skipped a beat and his eyes got wide from fear. There...in the middle of the room...were his parents, lying on thew ground on top of each other...dead. Sasuke stood there for a moment before he let out frightened scream. Sasuke stared in horror at his dead parents as the stench of rottning flesh began to fill his nose. Suddenly, Sasuke heard soft footsteps from behind his dead parents. Sasuke looked up to see his brother standing there, looking out of the window that was in the room. Sasuke noticed that his sharingan was activated.

"Niichan! Okasan...Otosan...they're d-dead! Who w-would do something l-like this!?" Sasuke yelled out, his voice sounding hoarse and fearful. Itachi turned his gaze from the window, to Sasuke. As Sasuke stared into Utachi's blood-red eyes, a shuriken flew passed him and into the doors behind him. Sasuke winced as his new freshly cut wound was exposed to the cold air. Sasuke clutched his wound and looked at Itachi in disbelief, shock, and horror.

"N-Niichan...you..." Sasuke said softly, not able to finish his sentence.

"Foolish little brother," Itachi said coldly, yet at the same time...his voice contained sadness. Sasuke stared at Itachi, eyes wide as Itachi closed his eyes. Itachi then slowly opened his eyes, and Sasuke felt his hear pound in his chest. "Mangekyou!"

Sasuke was in the middle of a street, the whole atmosphere was black and red. Sasuke looked around fearfully only to find Itachi a few yard away from him. Sasuke gasped in fear as he watched people of his clan fell to the ground dead. Sasuke looked to the right to see his aunt and uncle holding each other and staring at Itachi in shock and fear.

"Auntie! Uncle!" Sasuke cried out, but then, shurikens were thrown at both his aunt and uncle, and they both fell to the ground dead. "Nooooooooooo!"

Sasuke was now in the living room, the atmosphere still black and red. Itachi was standing behind his parents who were alive.

"Okasan! Otosan!" Sasuke yelled, his voice cracking. Itachi raised his sword and swung, cutting their throats open. Sasuke clutched his head and let out a piercing scream. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Sasuke fell to the ground, back in the present. Tears fell down his pale face as he laid there whimpering. As tears slid down his face, Sasuke struggled and looked up at his Itachi who was staring at Sasuke with his blood-red eyes.

"N-Niichan! ...Why!?" Sasuke whimpered out. Itachi stared at his brother for a moment or two.

"Because...I wanted to see what my power was capable of, but it seems I only waisted my time," Itachi said coldly. Sasuke stared at Itachi in disbelief.

"You...wanted to see...what your power was capable of... Is that it!? You killed our whole clan because of that! ITACHI!" Sasuke said as he charged at Itachi, but before Sasuke could even lay a finger on him, Itachi punched Sasuke in the gut, knocking the air out of him. Sasuke collapsed onto the floor, more tears forming in his eyes as he wheezed from the lack of air. Itachi took a step towards Sasuke, and Sasuke's eyes became wide.

"NO! Don't kill me! I don't want to die!" Sasuke cried as he struggled to his feet and ran out of the living room, sobbing as he did so. As Sasuke stumbled out of his house, he then remembered about Naruto. Sasuke's eyes widened in fear. "Naruto! Naruto! Where are you!?"

Sasuke ran through his village, looking for Naruto, but he couldn't find the small blonde.

'W-What if he killed Naruto! Naruto! H-He told me...' Sasuke thought as he remembered the dream Naruto had told him about. More tears slid down Sasuke's face and he ran even faster. 'He told me about his dream... I didn't b-believe him! ...NARUTO!'

Sasuke came to a complete halt. In front of him...stood Itachi...with Naruto in his arms. Sasuke's eyes widened in fear when he saw Naruto in Itachi's arms.

"Give him back!" Sasuke yelled to Itachi, forgetting for a moment that Itachi could kill him easily. Itachi stared at Sasuke then looked at the unconsious blonde in his arms. "I said, give him back! Don't you dare hurt him!"

"Foolish little brother. You think you can beat me?" Itachi said coldly, looking back at Sasuke, who was glaring at him with a tear stained face. Sasuke's glare faltered for a moment, but Sasuke quickly regained it.

"No! But I made a promice to Naruto that he wouldn't get hurt! As long as I'm alive, I plan to keep that promice!" Sasuke yelled at Itachi. Itachi gave Sasuke an amused look, before smirking slightly.

"If you one day plan to seek revenge on me, Sasuke-kun...turn all your hate towards me. You must despise, loath me with all your might...in order to defeat me," Itachi said. Sasuke stared at Itachi in silence. "When you're ready and strong enough...you seek me out. And if you wish to gain the Mangekyou Sharingan...you have to kill...your closest friend."

Sasuke's eyes went wide and glanced at the unconsious Naruto in Itachi's arm. Sasuke glared at Itachi and shook his head.

"No! I won't kill anybody! Especially not my closest friend!" Sasuke yelled.

"It's up to you...Sasuke-kun," Itachi said as a strong wind blew. Sasuke shut his eyes the wind stung his eyes, and when Sasuke opened them again...Itachi was gone and Naruto laid on the ground unconsious.

"Naruto!" Sasuke yelled out as he ran towards Naruto, falling to his knees. Sasuke held Naruto in his arms and looked at his tanned face. Sasuke smiled lightly, happy that Naruto was safe and sound. Suddenly, Naruto's crystal clear eyes opened, fear filling them.

"Sasuke! Sasuke! I-Itachi-san! H-he...h-he..." Naruto cried out as tears began to slide down his tanned face. Sasuke wrapped his arms around Naruto, burying his face in Naruto's golden hair.

"I know... I'm s-sorry Naruto...that I-I didn't b-believe you... It's j-just...I-I never thought...," Sasuke mummbled as he began to sob. Naruto, patted Sasuke's back soothingly, knowing that Sasuke had it worse than him.

"They love you..." Naruto mummbled into Sasuke's ear. "Okasan...Otosan...they said they loved you..."

Sasuke cried harder and clutched Naruto closer. For a long time, Sasuke continued to sob nonstop in Naruto's arms, while Naruto tried to comfort him. When Sasuke finally stopped sobbing, Naruto then finally let out silent tears he had been holding in. Naruto wanted to be strong for the both of them, but he failed. Naruto felt Sasuke's grip on him tighten.

"Naruto...I'm not letting anything bad happen to you... You are the only thing I have now... And I don't want to loose you too," Sasuke said, his voice sounding strong and serious. Naruto looked up at Sasuke to see someone totally different. The once joyful, carefree Sasuke was gone...and was replace by an expressionless, lifeless Sasuke. More tears slid down Naruto's face as he buried his face in Sasuke's chest.

"Don't go! Don't leave Sasuke! I want to see your smile! Don't...go," Naruto sobbed into Sasuke chest.
