Naruto's POV

"Stop doing..... that!" I start to push him with all my strength but the way his hand clenching around my neck is making me gasp for air. My eyes are wide open and I can see his face looking at me without any guiltiness. How merciless he can be.

When I was about to pass out with the lack of air he lets go of me pushing me away. My head gets hit by the car door. Suddenly I felt an urge to touch the back of my head to see if there's any blood there or not but luckily the back of my head was dry.

I look at him with my blurred vision. Tears pouring in my eyes. I quickly wipe off those tears that is showing my weakness. After that I try to open the door to leave as soon as possible but his hand take ahold of me. His grip tightens.

"Where are you running off to, huh?" He yells. I  try to push him away and even try to mark his wrist that is holding my arm tightly with my small nails. He grits his teeth. I shout,"Let go of me! Someone help!" Itachi's slaps his other hand against my mouth trying to prevent my voice from coming out.

He says,"Stop making this harder than it already is. You pissed me off enough already." I struggled a lot in his grip but everything went in vain. I'm nothing in front of his strength. The way he's grabbing my arm, it's going to leave a bruise soon.

I already injured his wrist by my small but sharp nails but he didn't budge. There's blood on my nails already. I calm down after all those struggle. There's no point resisting. He's far stronger than me after all.

Seeing me being quite and not doing anything noisy he removes his hand from my lips that are now red. But he didn't remove his grip. He's still doubtful about me trying to run away again.

He says,"If you stopped doing all these shits, you wouldn't get injured. It's all your fault." To him, I'm the one who is at the fault. Not just this time, time to time he even blames me for my parents death. Even though there's no logic or reason behind it. It's like he needs something to blame me every time and belittle me.

I tell him gathering a little amount of courage left in me,"If Sasuke knows about your wrong doings, he won't forgive you ever. I'll tell him everything." Itachi frowns at first hearing me saying that and then he smirks like he can't even believe me.

He says,"Fuck, did you really think that Sasuke trusts you that much to listen to your ramblings? I didn't taught him that." I bit my bottom lips trying not to cry or act pathetic anymore in front of him. He's acting scary and I'm really afraid of him.

Itachi's eyes fall upon my lips that I'm biting hard. He says smirking,"You've got blood on your lips." I frown and and stop biting them. He says,"Those blood aren't yours, they are mine." Then my eyes stops right at his lips which are bloodied a little. I bit him too hard.

He licks his lips. He says,"Stop resisting this time. I know you don't hate it actually." Finishing that sentence, he attacks my unguarded lips once again. How can he do this? This is a game for these brothers. I'm just a piece of one of their playthings. The tears start to fall from my eyes. And my lips start to move on their own. I don't feel pleasure, I don't feel anything. I feel numb.

I don't like the way they look at me. They never looked at me like that before. Their face say "you look pathetic." whenever my eyes land on them. I look down at my dirty wrinkled shirt. They always ignored me but why all of them staring at me now? Why am I at the centre of their attention?

My eyes goes up to the familiar figure. He's walking with a crowd around him. There's no space left for me. I try to run to catch him but I got pushed by the crowd. They are just like a wall between us.

"Who are you?" I look up to his face. His hand wrapped around his girlfriend's waist. I look at him in disbelief and stutter,"I-I'm Naruto, Sasuke." He looks at me like I'm the funniest thing in the world. He asks,"What is your last name?"

I can't tell him that. I reply,"I don't have any." He chuckles and says,"Don't talk to me if you don't have any last name. Here, last name is everything. If you don't have any name that is recognizable, don't come near me. Fucking nameless people."

I open my my eyes abruptly and get up from my bed panting. I feel sweaty. That was a dream. I suddenly feel pain at the back of my head. There's a small bump. I look at my phone and check the time. It's time for me to get ready for my school.

I look at the mirror. There's red marks around my neck. That's the mark I got from Itachi who almost strangled me to death. I wore a turtle neck even though it's hot today. I can't let anyone see this or make them suspicious about me.

"Are you sick, Naruto?" Sai asks me while checking the temperature of my body. I tell him chuckling nervously,"No, I just felt a little bit cold." Sai says,"You look good. It's kind of fashionable."

"Uh, excuse me?" We both look up to the person who interrupted our conversation. Sai says recognising the person immediately,"Ohh Ino. Why are you here?" Ino says with that confident mean look of her,"Hey Sai. I'm actually here to talk to that blondie over there."

I point to myself and say being kind of surprised,"Me?" She nods and says,"Can you come with me for some minutes?" I look at Sai hesitantly and then get up. It's not like she's trying to cause any harm to me.

I followed her anyway. She took me to a empty corridor. I ask her itching the back of my neck,"Uh, what did you want to talk?" She shouldn't have anything to do with me. I've never seen her talking to someone unpopular like me before.

She says,"I saw you that day being harassed by them. It's none of my business anyway. But you somehow look close to Sasuke." I frown while listening to her. She continues speaking,"I hope you don't end up with them again in future. But can you tell me how did you get close to Sasuke?"

I look at her. She's one of those pathetic girls who likes Sasuke because the Uchiha name of his and his cool persona. Ino notices my discomfort and says sighing,"Look, I know what you are thinking. But it's not what it looks like."

I tell her,"Then what is it? Are you not into Sasuke?" She says,"Yes, I'm. I'm trying everything to stay close to him. But his wall is too high and he's too much guarded. He looks too much unapproachable even though I'm close to him. That's why I'm trying to know as much as I can about him."

I tell her,"Weren't you interested in Sai a few days ago? I'm not trying to hurt you but let me say it straight. If you think you are one of those girls who can fix Sasuke, you are just deluding yourself."

Ino looks surprised. She asks,"How do you know this much?" I lie to her,"I know somehow. I can't tell you more about him. I don't even know him that well." Ino keeps herself quite. I tell her after waiting for her to say something for some seconds,"I've nothing to help you here. Don't bother me in this matter in future."

I was about to leave but Ino stops me. She says,"Wait! I know I have no obligation to say this to you but still I'm saying. Sasuke reminds me of someone from my past. I almost forgot about that person but seeing Sasuke, he reminds me of him too much."

I turn around to face her. She says,"Sasuke is drowning himself in things that can end his life. Guys of his age should hang out with friends or play football together. But he's... I don't even know."

I ask her,"And you took the responsibility of taking care of him? Did he ask for your help?" She remains silent. I tell her,"Nobody can help someone who's refusing to take help at all. Stop playing the roll of a protagonist of a cliche romantic story. End of the day you'll look pathetic to yourself. And one more thing, don't pity him. He doesn't need it."

Saying that I left her. I can't believe she's doing that to herself. The same thing I tried to do in the past. She's just on her way to hurt herself. I was thinking by myself do hard that I didn't realize I was about to bump against someone. I look up and see the person I was thinking about.

His hand reach out to my forehead and touches it with the back of his hand. He says sighing,"I thought you have a fever." People around him start to look at us weirdly. The cold Sasuke Uchiha acting like this with a nobody like me. Then he notices my expression. He says,"Can you come with me? I have something to show you."
