Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. Simple as cake.
Sorry I didn't update last night, I had a bunch of Ag science and biology homework. But at least I got to make a panda conservation poster :large grin: Save the pandas! Yosh! There's only, like, 1,600 left!
This is mostly a Sasuke chapter! A chapter of the past :sci-fi music: the condensed, shortened version!
Enjoy!
Naruto stepped into Sai's room with a small grin. He didn't have the strength to give the boy a full one, mostly because of what happened with Sasuke. The blond had chased after after him and found him with Kakashi, but the scarecrow only shook his head and told him to go start his lesson with Sai.
And now, here he was, in front of someone who looked almost exactly like Sasuke. That fact only made Naruto more worried about the raven's condition. He seemed pretty scared. Of what, Naruto didn't know. Was it the kiss?
"How are you, Naruto-san?" Sai asked with a mellow voice. He was currently lighting various candles, the scent of vanilla wafting across the room.
"Good..."
Sai looked at his "student", his eyes blank, "Is something wrong?"
"I don't really want to talk about it. It's sort of personal," Naruto replied in a hushed tone.
"Hm, then it must be about the Uchiha. I'll take a wild guess and say he got to you first?"
Naruto's eyes widened, "H-how..."
"I know these things," was the boy's only response.
The candles were all lit and Sai walked to his closet, pulling out a few pillows and tossing them onto his bed.
"S-Sai, I don't think I can go through with this... not n-- wh... what are you doing?" Naruto blinked when Sai began pushing the pillows under his blankets.
"I'm not a horrible person, Naruto-san. I know how far I can go before I have to turn back. You're worried about the Uchiha, therefore I will take you to him," Sai turned to stare at the fox boy, "but once you two clear things up, I will steal you away. Afterall, I still have a chance. You haven't fallen for him yet, you've just been pulled in," that's what he's best at. Manipulation.
"Y-you're going to take me to him?.!"
"Hai," Sai stated quietly, lifting himself off the floor. He walked past Naruto and motioned for the blond to follow him, "if we're caught, you'll most likely be punished, so keep quiet and stay behind me."
"Punished?"
"We're going into Jiraiya-san's sleeping quarters. No one's allowed in there except for Jiraiya-san, Kakashi-san, Iruka-san, and the Uchiha, mainly because that's the safest place for him when he goes into his fits," Sai answered while tugging the confused blond behind him, into the dark hall. There was just silence and the occasional loud huffs of breath Naruto would let out.
Sai could tell Naruto wanted to ask questions and sighed, "Jiraiya-san is the owner of The 'Pink' Trade. He's been in Korea, so you haven't met him yet. And about the fits, the Uchiha's been having them frequently these last few weeks. Kakashi-san thinks it's because of Weasel-san."
"Weasel..."
"Itachi, the Uchiha's older brother. He's the one who brought him here."
So his brother's the one who put him here... and his parents are dead... "Wh-why would Sasuke's own brother stick him in a place like this?" wouldn't a real brother try to keep you away from these kinds of things?
"Iruka-san told me it was because he was being punished. To repent for killing his parents, the Uchiha would have to give away his childhood and innocence to this house. To sell his personality, emotions, body, and virginity," Sai opened the hallway door and peeked out into the sitting room, seeing a good bit of customers, but no workers, "now follow me," he walked down to the last hall and slid the door open, pushing Naruto in, and closing the door behind him.
Naruto was fumbling with all the new information in his head, he killed his parents? "Sai... exactly how old was Sasuke when he was brought here?"
"He was eight," Sai answered, then stepped into a large room.
Naruto stopped walking and looked up, seeing Sasuke lying on a large plush bed, his yukata open, and his bangs covering his closed eyes. The blond ran to the sleeping boy and his eyes widened when he saw blood on his hands and wrists. Has Sasuke tried to kill himself?
"One hour. That's all you'll have before Kakashi-san's done with checking on the hosts. I'm sure that as soon as he's finished, he'll come to see the Uchiha," Sai said while checking out the room.
"Thanks for bringing me here, Sai," Naruto said with a grin.
"I only did it so you could fix things up with him. Once you do, we'll have our seduction lesson and I'll make sure you're mine," insert creepy ass smirk here, "now I'll leave you two alone. Ja ne," Sai slipped out of the room as silently as a shadow.
Naruto's eye twitched, but he kept silent as the second raven left. He turned when he heard Sasuke shift and frowned at the bruise on his jaw and upper neck, where did he get that? he reached out to touch it and when his fingers grazed the skin, Sasuke groaned.
"Aniki..."

A smaller Sasuke wandered down the halls in a blue winter coat, his gloved hands rubbing together. He looked around, his cheeks a light pink from the cold, and his hair in tangles from the wind.
"Okaasan?" Sasuke called with a small voice.
"Mother's at the store," Itachi said as he emerged from upstairs, "and father was called in to work."
"Aniki!" Sasuke greeted happily, a smile gracing his flushed face, "Oh, and that's alright! I just wanted to show them what I made in school today! But I can show you first!" Sasuke threw his school bag on the floor and began rummaging through it, pulling out a card covered with little drawings, lace, and glitter. He held it up to his brother, "see? It's a Christmas card! I wanted to ask Okaasan and Otosan if they could put it on the Christmas tree!"
Itachi smiled and ruffled Sasuke hair while looking at the card, "how cute of you, Otouto," he teased.
Sasuke pouted and slapped his brother's hand away. But a smile replanted itself on his face after a few seconds of Itachi's fake bout of sadness. They laughed as they entered the living room together, Itachi placing the card above the television.
"We'll put it on the tree after Mother and Father get home, alright?"
"Ok!" Sasuke replied.
Everything had seemed perfect then. Sasuke had a lot of friends, he was getting good grades, he had a family that loved him... but for some reason, he felt as though something was off. That something was wrong...
xXxX 8 years ago XxXx
"No! I want it!" Sasuke yelled, stomping.
"Sasuke, dear..."
"Please Okaasan, don't you love me?"
"Of course I do..."
"Then buy it for me!" the child hollered back.
Itachi watched the scene with blank eyes, "I'll buy it for you, Otouto," he smirked when his brother's eyes lit up.
"R-really, Aniki?"
"I just received my paycheck, buying you a toy won't do me any harm. Excuse us, Mother," Itachi walked past Mikoto, his shoulder brushing against hers. Sasuke followed behind him with a bright smile, ignoring his mother's hurt look.
xXxXxXx
Itachi's charcoal black eyes danced with amusement when his mother looked about ready to burst out into tears. When she went into her room, the older teen looked down at his brother on the floor, the boy playing with his new truck, You're growing up beautifully, Otouto... I think it's time to put my next step into action.
xXxXxXx
"What will you gain from this, Otouto?" a deep voice asked, "manipulating people, taking things from them, desiring more... no good will come of it."
Sasuke turned and looked at his brother, his eyes a dark hazel, "Aniki?"
Itachi snorted, "You don't even know what you're doing... You're breaking them all apart and you don't even know it."
The smaller Uchiha stared at his brother in confusion.
"Our parents... your manipulating them as well, aren't you? Otouto, you're taking everything you can from them. What will happen when you run into something you can't have? How far will you go to try and get it?"
"Aniki..."
"When you finally have it in your grasp, you'll regret every step you took to attain it," Itachi walked past Sasuke and didn't stop when his brother called out to him.
Sasuke stood there with a shocked look. Was he manipulative like his brother had said? He looked down at his hands and thought back on every moment he spent with his parents, most of the memories being of him getting something from them, yelling at them, hurting them. Tears welled up in his eyes and he bit his bottom lip.
xXxXxXx
Later that night, Sasuke stood in front of his parents' room. He wanted to apologize for everything he had ever done, but when he opened the door, he found his mother lying on her bed, her wrists cut and blood seeping out. Next to her was her husband. Nothing seemed to be wrong with him, but you could tell by the paleness of his face that he was dead. It must've been pills. Sasuke's eyes widened and he stepped back, his voice cracking as he screamed.
A hand was placed on the boy's shoulder and he turned, seeing Itachi standing behind him with a surprised expression.
"A-Aniki!" this is my fault!! Sasuke cried and clung to his brother, tears slipping down his face and dripping from his chin. He didn't notice the smirk that crossed his elder brother's face as he gazed upon their parents' bodies.
xXxXxXx
"You're going to leave him here?" Kakashi asked Itachi. They were in the parking lot of The 'Pink' Trade.
"I deserve it..." Sasuke mumbled, "I killed them... and Aniki said... I should repent somehow... so I'm going to stay here..."
The scarecrow frowned at the small child and looked up at his long time friend, "Itachi, this isn't right. He's too young and your parents' death was not his fault!"
"He chose to come here. Who am I to deny my brother?" Itachi said smoothly. He led Sasuke into the house and nodded his head to Iruka, "I'll find an empty room myself."
Sasuke looked over at Iruka and saw the man frown.
xXxXx the present xXxXx
A dream...
Sasuke's eyes fluttered open and the first thing he saw was Naruto's face, Dobe... "What're you doing here? This room is restricted to other hosts," he hissed weakly.
"Sai brought me here," Naruto smiled, "I was worried that something was really wrong with you. And your hands! They're covered in blood!"
"Sai?" dammit, that bastard... Sasuke sat up and looked at his cut hands, "I must've gotten these when I broke the vase in the sitting room..." he winced at the sharp pain in his jaw and neck.
"Teme, lie down!" Naruto screeched, shoving the raven back down onto the bed, "jeez!"
Sasuke glared at him, but sighed. He remembered the kiss and smiled slightly. Even though it only happened because of... his manipulation... it was nice. It was warm and accepting.
"So.." Naruto said after a few seconds of silence, "I heard about your brother..."
"Don't mention him around me," Sasuke growled.
"Oh, sorry," the blond averted his gaze and sighed in annoyance, "hey, about that kiss..."
"I'm sorry it happened. It was my fault..."
"Excuse me?" Naruto said through gritted teeth, "you're sorry?"
"Yes..."
"You're more of an idiot than I am."
"What?" Ok, now Sasuke was really confused.
"I was the one who started it. And I just wanted to say... that I don't think you're a bastard, I just... didn't like you at first..." Naruto blushed and furrowed his brows, "but after the kiss... I think I realized that I sort of.. you know...did like you..."
Then something amazing happened. Sasuke actually blushed.
"Y-you like me?"
xXxXx
"No one will ever love you like I do, Otouto," Itachi purred.
xXxXx
"Now don't go and get an enflated ego or anything! I just said I liked you! I don't love you or anything, Teme!" Naruto hollered with pink cheeks.
Something creaked and the both of them turned to see the door open and an older man step in. He had long white hair, red marks on his cheeks, and was wearing a red yukata. Naruto stiffened and let out the breath he had been holding.
Shit!
For those of you who are easily confused, like me :sheepish smile: I'll explain the stuff between Itachi and Sasuke. Basically, Itachi wanted to mentally corrupt his brother, the easiest way to do that, break apart everything around him and make him believe it's his fault. Itachi started with spoiling Sasuke, buying him everything he wanted, spending time with him as much as he could, and always saying he buys stuff for him because he loves him (this is what makes Sasuke yell at his mother, saying that she doesn't love him because she won't buy him the toy he wants). Then after a while (even though it's not mentioned in here, it will in later chapters) Itachi broke away from his parents, making them feel as if they had done something wrong. Then after everything got far enough, Itachi killed them both, making it appear as if they committed suicide, causing Sasuke to feel as if it was his fault (because Itachi mentioned to him that he was being manipulative). etc etc etc, you can guess from there, my hands are sore, heh, I hope you liked it!
