Onyx Eyes (A Sasuke Uchiha Story)

66: Truth Revealed

I helped Bikou carry his boxes out, he was moving. But only three houses down, but he needed his own house. I got what he meant. I would actually be happier if I lived alone. I mean, we didn’t hate each other, we just wanted space.
I hugged him goodbye, and went back to my house. I walked in and lay on my couch, my head against the warm seat. I had to meet my team. Maybe I’d just call in sick.
Well, they weren’t stupid. They’d know why.
We had a mission, anyways. We were preparing for it, at least. I had to go. Well, who cared about a stupid boy?
Wait, stupid question.
I got up, and walked right out my door. I locked it, then started walking to the training field. I heard a noise behind me. I turned around.
“Itachi.” I growled.
“Leader wants you back. You can tell Sasuke if you come back.” Itachi said.
I thought for a moment. Tsunade would kill me.
“Later.” I said slowly, thinking about it.
“At any time.” he said, before I could do anything else, he was gone. I grumbled to myself. Either that was a plan they made up to get me to join back, or Itachi was an asshole.
Hmm, both.
When I got to the training field, I walked up to Sasuke. No one else was there.
“I’ve got an explanation.” I said.
“Speak.” he said, I wanted to protest and say I wasn’t a dog, but I held my comment in.
“Itachi just did that to be a dick to me, I didn’t do it. I swear. He tried kissing me, and I pushed him off. He just probably did it to ruin my life or yours.” I explained.
“I was thinking that.” Sasuke replied.
I scoffed, rolling my eyes. “Yeah that’s why you totally sang about me last night. Mhm.”
“After that.” he snapped.
“Well why did you have to jump to conclusions?” I shouted.
“I didn’t! He told me, you were quiet. I thought it was case closed.” he shouted back.
“Well it wasn’t!” I growled.
“It’s over now. Deal with it.”
“I can’t, it’s still stuck in my head Sasuke!”
“You can be so emotional!”
“It’s better than having no emotion at all! Look, I coped with my clan’s death. I don’t go around thinking of killing the person who left me there to die. Yeah, it would be nice to kill him but it’s not my number one priority!”
“What is your number one priority then, huh? Me?!”
This question shook me. I was stuck.
“I don’t know.” I whispered. “I don’t know my number one priority.” I said. I really didn’t.
“Hm, how useful.” he said sarcastically.
“Tell Sakura, Naruto and Kakashi that I’m sorry I couldn’t be here for longer. Tell them it’s cause you’re an ass!” I shouted, shoving him. He shoved me back, I hit a tree.
His eyes widened at what he just did.
“I didn’t mean to....”
“You’re just like your brother!” I shouted, this time I really, really ticked him off.
“I WOULDN’T KILL MY WHOLE FAMILY LIKE A SELFISH BASTARD!” he screamed, his hand wrapping around my neck.
My anger flared.
“Are you sure?” I asked, coldly. “You seem awfully violent.”
He realized what he had just done, he let go of me and turned so his back was to me.
“Leave.” he whispered.
“Gladly.” I scowled, I started to walk away when I felt something run down my arm. I looked at it, there was blood dripping. I looked at him, frantic. “What did you do?!” I asked, pointing to my arm.
He didn’t answer, he had a shocked expression. I was about to protest again, when I saw the blood trickle out the side of his mouth.
“S-Sasuke?” I asked, Sasuke fell forward. I caught him and saw the knife stuck in his back. I gasped, I set him down gently and looked around. I had my Kooriamgan on, I was on full alert. I felt the adrenaline course through my veins, I was slightly frightened, mostly angered. Who had attacked Sasuke and I?
I felt the pain finally come to my arm, I let out a howl of pain. I heard snickering.
I turned and faced a man, he had orange hair and green eyes. He was wearing white pants and a black vest, a white shirt under the vest. He had senbon needles coming off the shoulders of the vest, he had a sickening smile.
“I thought I killed you.” he said, I was confused.
“What?” I asked, I never remembered him. He started laughing.
“What can I expect, you’re a Mayuko. A weak, Mayuko.” he said, then his eyes caught mine. “Pathetic.” he seethed.
“Ahaha, look. Another one.” the man said, his voice cruel. I opened my eyes and saw my family, dead on the floor. I screamed in shock, the sight scared me. The man who was holding me slammed me against the wall, he took out a kunai and stabbed me in the stomach. The pain was intense, I cried out as he stabbed me once more, and again. He then pulled the kunai and dragged it along my left arm, from shoulder to wrist. The blood pooled out, I felt myself growing dizzy. He threw me to the floor.
“Pathetic.” he teased, walking away. My vision blurred, and I slipped into the darkness.
Pathetic.....
He said it the exact same way.
This was the man who had murdered my clan.
