Summary:
Uchiha Sasuke was eight, and Uchiha Itachi was thirteen the day it happened. The Uchiha family supposedly murdered by a trusted family friend. Eight years later, Sasuke and Itachi return to Konoha after having lived somewhere else after the massacre, the woman who adopted them having gone to Russia for some time. Unforeseen events will take place and change certain things very rapidly. All is not as it seems when their mother returns from Russia, bearing a gift for Sasuke and something else no one ever knew about. She has lied to protect them, and she will continue to do so; for the lives of her precious people depend on her being able to hide what she does from them and ultimately keeping them safe from the evil that is known as Orochimaru.

Sasuke muttered
something under his breath, dark eyes shifting back and forth from
his brother to staring outside at the passing buildings. The day had
finally come. They were returning to Konoha. He didn't want to be
here. There were to many bad memories.
Itachi had told
him they wouldn't be living in the old mansion. His aniki had had
enough insight to know that it would cause a relapse in his ototo. He
wanted to avoid that. He had seen his parents murdered before his
eyes. The boy himself had been injured and would have died had Itachi
not gotten home only moments before, finding the killer attacking his
brother. He had managed to knock the man out and call the police,
holding his crying brother as they waited.
The man was
serving a life sentence in prison with no chance of parole. They had
left Konoha three months later with their guardian. A half Russian
half Japanese woman named Sakaye Usami. She had been a long time
friend of the family.
Sasuke had been
eight at the time, and Itachi thirteen.
That day Itachi
had been out with one of his friends. The authorities commented that
what he had done to a man nearly twice his size was amazing. The
older Uchiha had smiled vaguely, but said nothing in return. Three
hours later, Sakaye had arrived. Sakaye had turned twenty three that
year. At the reading of the Uchiha's will, it had been requested that
she be made their legal guardian. The request had gone through and it
had become official. She and Itachi had agreed it would be good to
get Sasuke away from the city they had called home their entire
lives.
She had taken
them to Yuki, the city they had lived in for the past eight years.
Sasuke was sixteen now, and Sakaye had had to return to Russia to
take care of certain matters. She couldn't take Sasuke with her, so
she and Itachi decided that the sixteen year old would live with his
twenty one year old brother who was currently attending Konoha's most
prestigious college. He had a big enough apartment for them to share,
and he had no roommate. The older Uchiha preferred being alone.
Itachi and
Sakaye knew he didn't want to be here, but it couldn't be helped.
Sakaye wouldn't be returning for at least four months and he couldn't
continue his education in country where he didn't understand the
language. He had never asked his guardian to teach him. She would
have had he been willing to learn like Itachi had. But as it went, it
would have been hard to find a tutor for the young Uchiha, and Sakaye
wasn't trusting enough to leave him alone for long periods of time
with a stranger. She wouldn't have ever allowed that. She knew he
would be safe with Itachi. Itachi would ensure nothing would happen
to him.
She had promised
to return in about four months. Sasuke was holding her to that
promise. She had laughed and hugged him before hugging Itachi,
kissing them both on the cheek and grabbing her carry on bags and
heading off to board her plane.
Over the years,
Sakaye had become his surrogate mother. It had only been a few days
and he desperately wanted her back. When Itachi had left for college,
she was the only one he had left, excluding the times Itachi came to
visit and the few times they went to Russia to see Sakaye's Nana. He
loved the old Russian woman like she was his own grandmother. She was
funny when she wanted to be, and she always gave him presents when he
went to see her.
“Itachi,”
Sasuke said quietly, staring out the window.
“What is it?”
he asked, not taking his eyes off the road.
“Why couldn't
I go with okasan?”
Itachi sighed.
“You know well enough she would have if she could, but it wasn't an
option. She wouldn't have been able to find a tutor she could trust,
and she doesn't like leaving you alone with strangers. We both know
how you are.”
“I know,” he
muttered. “But I miss her.”
“I do too, but
we can't change things.”
“Why'd she go
anyways?”
Itachi shrugged.
“Not sure,” he replied honestly. “She wouldn't tell me
anything. Said we'd talk about it when she got back.”
“Oh. Okay
then.”
He looked down
at his lap as Itachi pulled up to the gates of Konoha High School.
“Want me to
come in with you?” he asked, shifting the gear into park.
Sasuke nodded.
He didn't like going to new places without someone he could trust.
This is why he never had friends. He couldn't trust easily. The man
that had murdered his parents had been a friend of the family as
well. He'd known him his entire life. He never would have expected a
man he could trust so much to turn on them like he had.
Itachi turned
off the car, opened his door and got out, Sasuke following suit,
grabbing his backpack from the back seat. Itachi came around the side
and smiled at his brother, walking with him through the gates and
towards the main building.
Sasuke watched
the ground as he walked. He didn't have to look up to know they were
being watched by the other students. But it didn't matter. He
wouldn't associate with anyone. He never did. Back in Yuki, he had
never even tried to make friends. He pushed everyone way. Sakaye and
Itachi had tried, but their attempts were fruitless. Sasuke simply
did not want to be around other people. He couldn't trust him.
“By the way,
how's that drawing coming along?”
“Huh? Oh. I
finished it yesterday.”
“Really? Can I
see it later.”
“Um. Yeah.
Okay,” Sasuke mumbled his reply.
Itachi simply
smiled. Drawing had become his thing after the incident. It helped
him show Sakaye and Itachi how he was feeling when he couldn't get it
out through words. He was good.
“Ah, excuse
me,” Itachi said, stopping a passing student. “Could you tell me
where the main office is?”
“Yeah. If you
go straight ahead into this building and go right, it's the first
door on the left I think. There's a sign on the door. You can't miss
it,” the boy replied.
“Thank you,”
Itachi replied, resuming the walk to the building, Sasuke at his
side.
Itachi entered
the building, Sasuke following and the two went right, Itachi looking
for the correct door. The boy had been right. The first door on the
left had the words Main Office printed on the glass. He opened the
door and ushered Sasuke inside. The younger brunet hesitantly
entered, eyes taking in everything he could see. He didn't say
anything as his brother approached a secretary, a smile on his face.
“Hello,” he
said politely. “My name is Uchiha Itachi, and this is my brother
Uchiha Sasuke. He's start school here today.”
“Oh! It's very
nice to meet you, Uchiha-san,”the woman said, smiling up at him.
“Let me get Shizune. She'll get him his schedule.”
Itachi nodded
and watched as the woman hurried away. He turned and knelt in front
of Sasuke who had by then taken a seat in one of the hard plastic
chairs.
“Sasuke,” he
said softly. “Sasuke look at me.”
Sasuke did, dark
eyes meeting equally dark eyes.
“I want you to
promise me you won't say anything mean to anyone. If you have to,
just don't talk to anyone. I'll speak to your teachers if you want me
to. Do you understand?”
“Yes, aniki,”
he said quietly, nodding his head. He when to obey his brother. He
would get in trouble with the older Uchiha if he found out, and
Sasuke knew he would. He and Sakaye always found out.
“Do you want
me to speak to your teachers?”
Sasuke nodded
again.
“Alright.”
“Ah! You must
be Uchiha-san,” a young black haired woman said, approaching them
with a smile on her face. “I was expecting to see Usami-san, but I
guess she's busy today?”
“She's in
Russia,” Itachi said. “I came instead. If I might ask, can I get
an additional copy of Sasuke's schedule? I need to speak with all of
his teachers about a few issues before I go.”
“What might
that be?”
Itachi pulled
her away from Sasuke.
“You know
about what happened eight years ago right?”
Shizune nodded.
“Since then,
all he's done is push people away. He gets in trouble when he does
certain things. I made him promise not to, and I know he will. But I
feel his teachers need to know if they try and call on him. I'm going
to assume he won't speak or allow anyone to speak top him today.”
“Oh my,” she
said. “I understand. I'll get you one. Is there anything else I
need to know?”
“Nothing else
really. That's all. If you need to, you may tell the principal as
well. She might want to know.”
Shizune nodded.
“I'll do that. Do you want me to show you both to his first class?
I believe the teacher is there already.”
“That would be
nice,” he said.
“Alright,”
she said. “I'll be right back with the schedules. I won't be but a
moment!” She hurried away to print them off.
Itachi returned
to his brother's side, watching as the pencil flew across the paper,
small parts becoming more detailed as he added to them. A few minutes
later, Shizune reappeared, schedules in hand. She handed one to
Itachi, and one to Sasuke.
“Come along
then,” she said, watching as Sasuke hurriedly closed his sketchbook
and packed it away, standing to follow the other two out back into
the hallway.
“Shizune-san,
do you have a last name?”
Shizune laughed.
“Yes. I suppose you wouldn't know it since Suzume-san never calls
me by it. I'm Hanakazari Shizune. Everyone calls me Shizune though.”
“Ah,” Itachi
replied, nodding as followed her around a corner going left.
“Here it is.
Class One A. This will be his homeroom,” she said, sliding the door
open. “Umino-san, are you in here? Oh good lord Kakashi. Stop that
and get out. I need to speak with Iruka. Go back to your own
classroom.”
They heard
someone grumbling before a silver haired man passed them and walked
away, heading further down the hallway.
“Hatake
Kakashi,” she said with a sigh. “He'll be Sasuke's literature
teacher.”
Itachi nodded,
following the woman into the room.
“Good morning,
Shizune,” the brunet said cheerfully, rising from his seat behind a
desk in the corner. “Ah is that the new student I was told about?”
“Yes,”
Shizune replied.
“If you want,
you can take the seat in the back by the window. It's the only one
not taken.”
Sasuke nodded
and headed back, taking a seat and pulling his sketchbook back out.
“Umino Iruka,”
Itachi said. “My name is Itachi. I'm Sasuke's older brother.”
“Nice to meet
you,” Iruka replied, shaking the offered hand.
“There are a
few things I need to tell you before I go. You remember the incident
eight years ago correct?”
Iruka nodded,
much like Shizune had.
“I'll tell you
the same thing I told Shizune-san. He pushes people away. He's been
known to cause trouble when he people he doesn't know or like start
bothering him. If that happens, I need to be informed immediately.
I'd like to also ask you not to force him to speak or call on him to.
When he doesn't speak, he draws. I advise you also to please let him
do it. It's the only way he can get out what he can't say himself.”
“I see,”
Iruka said. “Thank you for telling me. I'll try and make sure no
one bothers him then. I wouldn't want something happening.”
Itachi smiled.
“Thank you,” he replied. “I must get going. I have to speak
with his other teachers.”
“I could do
that for you,” Iruka offered.
“Oh, no I
don't want to trouble you with it.”
“It's no
problem. You're attending KU right? Sakaye told me.”
“You know
her?”
“Yes. We went
to high school together. She never told me anything about either of
you. Only that eight years ago she was moving away.”
Itachi nodded.
“Are there any other teachers here she knows?”
“Quite a few
actually. The man who was just here also knows her, as well as
Asuma-sensei, Kurenai-sensei, Gai-sensei, and Anko-sensei.”
“You know
what's creepy?” Itachi said with a smirk, looking down at the paper
in his hand.
“Huh? What?”
“He has all
five of them as teachers. I get the feeling she arranged for this to
happen. I suppose she trusts all of you enough to watch over him for
us since we can't exactly be here and go to school with him.”
“Maybe,”
Iruka said with a small laugh.
“You were all
friends in high school?”
“Yes. Kind of
figured. You know, I think I heard her once, talking on the phone
with Hatake a few years ago. She never mentioned anyone though.”
Iruka laughed.
“I guess she wouldn't. She never even told her parents she was
friends with us. Never found out why. Where is she anyways?”
“Russia.”
“Ah. Any
reason why?”
“She never
said, only that we'd talk when she got back.”
Iruka nodded.
“Oh. School is about to start. The students will start piling in
soon.”
As if on queue,
students started walking through the open door, occupying empty
seats. Several stared at the silent Uchiha in the back corner, hand
flying across the paper once more to continue whatever it was he was
drawing. He paid no one any attention.
“I need to get
going,” Itachi said. “My class starts in an hour.”
Iruka nodded.
“Goodbye.”
Itachi nodded.
“I need to tell Sasuke something first before I go. Goodbye.”
Itachi turned
and made his way to the back of the classroom, students getting out
of his way as he passed. He crouched down beside the Sasuke, the boys
pencil dropping onto the book as he listened to his brother.
“I won't ask
you to, but you can trust your teachers. Okasan knows all of them and
trusts them very much. Umino-sensei told me all of them were friends
back in high school. So if you ever need help, I want you to go to
them. Do you understand?”
“Yes, aniki,”
Sasuke replied, not looking at his brother as the older Uchiha rose
to his feet.
“I'll see you
when you get home. Be good, ototo,” he said, ruffling his dark hair
before turning and walking through the door at the back of the
classroom, joining Shizune as the pair made their way back to main
entrance.
“I'll keep an
eye on him as well if you like,” Shizune offered.
“Thank you. It
would be appreciated,” Itachi said, smiling at the woman and bowing
slightly. He turned and left, pulling his keys from his pocket as he
approached his car. Sasuke was in good hands now. His teachers could
be trusted if Sakaye trusted them. He knew she had good judgment.
