*~*~*~*

There's a story that everyone knows but no one knows where it came from. They all agree that it haunts the town to this day, knows that it gives those who hear it nightmares. It sends shivers down a person’s back and is dark and deadly.

This is that story.

It was a weekend night and the Namikazes had gone out with their friends, the Uchihas, for Minato's birthday, leaving the Uchihas oldest son, Itachi, to watch over the two youngest boys, Naruto and Sasuke.

Seeing as their parents weren't due back until late that night, Itachi had figured he'd let the boys watch some TV for a little longer then usual. He wasn't too concerned about the two watching it, knowing that his brother and his friend wouldn't be able to stay up much longer.

Lounging on the couch, he watched Sasuke and Naruto over the edge of his book as Naruto flipped the channels until he stopped on one of the news channels that had an emergency bulletin playing.

“And once more, the police are suggesting you lock up tight and turn on those alarms. A recent break out at the local asylum has put everyone on edge,” the man on the screen said, face serious as a picture appeared next his face of a rather pretty man with cold eyes. “This particular patient is known to be schizophrenic and sociopathic. The inmate has been known to kill those he comes across, but prefers to attack those of darker coloring, hair, eyes or skin. Please be warned and stay inside until it is safe. If you leave your home, please leave in groups and remember your pepper spray.”

“Alright you two, let's go to bed,” Itachi said suddenly, standing up and tossing his book to the side. Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other with worry in their eyes before they looked up at Itachi with wide eyes.

“You don't think this guy will come here right?” Sasuke asked as he flipped the TV off and stood up with Naruto. The blond clung tight to his friend, shivering at the thought as Itachi shook his head and herded the two up the stairs.

“No, I don't think he will. We have a great security system and guards. No one will dare come attack us. Now you two get into your night clothes,” Itachi snorted, shaking his head with a roll of his eyes as he pulled out Sasuke's usual night outfit and grabbed Naruto's from his over night bag.

“Yes, Itachi,” came stereo replies as the two small boys took their clothing. Getting them dressed, Itachi quickly found out, was the easy part. Getting them in bed and asleep was the hard part with the both of them worrying about the maniac that was on the loose.

“Are you sure everything is locked up tightly?” Naruto asked, already wrapped up in a thick blanket in the bed that was next to Sasuke's. The young blond stayed over so often and vise versa, that each house had an extra bed in their rooms that were always ready for them.

“Yes. And I'll make double sure that the alarm is set and all the locks are locked up,” Itachi promised, getting Naruto to finally lay down and covered properly, before doing the same to his worried looking younger brother. “I'll protect you two, I promise,” he said, smoothing Sasukes dark hair down with a soft look that he saved for them and no one else. Getting shy smiles from the two, the teen checked the windows, making sure the locks were locked as promised before leaving the room, door closed behind him, and walking down the stairs.

The two boys talked for a while longer before slipping easily into sleep as Itachi resumed watching the TV and reading his book. It was a few hours later when Naruto was woken up by the sounds of a loud crash, followed by thumps coming from downstairs. Slipping out of bed, Naruto moved over to Sasuke and shook him to wake him up.

“Sasuke...Sasuke, I think something is happening downstairs,” he whispered, his voice wavering, showing just how frightened he was at that moment. Sasuke woke with a soft sound before glaring at Naruto with unhappy dark eyes.

“What do you mean, you idiot?” he asked, keeping quiet just in case Itachi had decided to walk by their door to check on them.

“I heard a crash downstairs,” Naruto whimpered, shivering next to Sasuske's bed. Both boys stopped moving, holding their breaths as a new sound reached them.

Thump...thump...drag.

Swallowing, Naruto shivered and wondered if they weren't just hearing things again. It happened before in the old house; it was always settling after all. Looking to Sasuke with widening eyes, he climbed into the other boys bed and clung to him as the sound came again.

Thump...thump...drag.

And again.

Thump...thump...drag.

Both boys looked at each other before silently crawling out of the bed and moved to the door, pressing their ears to the wood. Listening through it, they could hear the sound getting faster, heading up the stairs that lead to their room.

Thump...thump...drag.

Thump...thump...drag.

Shaking with the fear that rushed through them, Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other before nodding. Dragging Sasuke's dresser to in front of the door with a few pushes, they then pushed Narutos bed in front of the door and rushed to Sasuke's. Sitting down on it, they buried themselves under it as the sounds started to fade.

Thump...thump...drag.

Thump...thump...drag.

Thump...thump.

The two boys stayed their, too terrified to do much more then hold onto each other and watch the door closely. There were no other sounds that came from downstairs, and they didn't have a phone so they couldn't call anyone.

It wasn't until nearly 3 in the morning that their parents arrived home, Kushina and Mikoto screamed at the grisly sight as Minato and Fugaku called for the two youngest, walking around a smear of blood leading up the stairs. Both boys called out from Sasuke's room, quickly moving to pull the bed and dresser away from the door. Opening the door and running out, the skidded to a stop in front of the stairs before bursting into screeches of horror.

For before them, laying in a pool of his own blood, was Itachi. His legs had been amputated just above his knee, while his arms had been removed at the elbow. Downstairs, the TV continued to play with the new bulletin as the family stared in horror and called the police.

“It has come to the attention of the police that the escaped asylum patient has already hit three houses, and killed the families within. The details are sketchy but what they do know is that the man has somehow short circuited the alarm systems if there were any. From the first house, the man has stolen a hatchet that he has used to amputate his victims limbs, leaving them to bleed out. So once more, be safe. Lock all your doors, bar your windows and stay close to your family.”

It was figured out later that Itachi had dragged himself up the stairs to warn the boys of the intruder, never knowing that he had left after watching Itachi drag himself away.

From that day, the town had been haunted by the darkness of what happened and the two families had moved far, far away. No one dared go near the houses that had been attacked. The names had changed, the times and ages had changed and the information about the murderer had changed but one thing they were sure of.

The babysitter was a very dedicated babysitter.
