Clashing Personalities
Eighteen
The answer to her question had a bit of light shed on it sooner than she thought it would.
It came three days later as she and Naruto were walking to school. They were going to pick up Sasuke from his house, something Naruto always does she learned. And, as they came upon the mansion, Sasuke came storming out of the house.
His brother was right behind them.
He and Sasuke were arguing over something. Something about the family and how Itachi is a 'back stabber'.
Naruto stiffened up imminently. He slowed even as they came across the two.
Itachi's hair was down, unbound, and it flowed around him. Sasuke's did not stick up in the back like it normally would and, as he stood there shaking, she could see the rage in his eyes.
"You were supposed to support us, you bastard! Yet your turned your back on us, your family." She has never heard so much emotion in the younger Uchiha's voice till then.
Itachi remained impassive. He stood before his brother, calm and composed, and she is sure that fueled Sasuke's anger even more.
Then Itachi saw them and he said, "Brother, your making a scene."
Sasuke turned, eyes wide. Then his face settled into a mask, impassive, and stuffed his hands in his pocket.
It wasn't till later, when she and Naruto were alone, that she learned that the family inheritance was is Itachi's but, oddly enough, he sided with the Akatsuki. Naruto explained further that the rivalry between the two brothers started when Sasuke was nine, six years ago.
And now, as she sits in class, she can only think of the different conversations she has heard about this infamous group. She knows a little about them now, nothing good, but she pushes it to the back of her mind.
She turns her attention to the board, taking in all the information on the board when the teacher calls on her. She turns her gaze to him and frowns.
"Hai, sensei?"
"I need you to run an errand for me." He hands her the papers and tells her the room.
She nods, stands, and exits the class without a backward glance.
She makes her way to the Senior side of the building, to the second floor, to the chemistry room. She knocks on the door, waits, and the door slowly opens.
"Yes?"
"I'm running errands, sir." She shows him the pass and the papers.
He lets her in, takes the papers, and looks through them. He then frowns.
And then she sees him.
Itachi.
I hope you enjoyed it.
