The Uchiha Boys

Chapter 1 Born within a cursed clan: Sanada's story

I didn't ask to be born in this family, but people look at me as though I did.

They think I'm all high and mighty and expect so much from me! I suppose it's expected if your the eldest son of the infamous and talented Sasuke Uchiha and heir to the Uchiha clan.

But, in reality I'm just a normal kid with normal feelings. But nobody seems to know that. Not even my own family.

My mother listens to me but she has enough problems of her own so I don't want to bother her that much. She is honestly beautiful , I love her so much. My little sister is also important in my life , I'd protect her with my life if I had too but she's still too young to know the troubles in life.

My father.....well that's a different story. He's a very busy man, he's constantly on missions and comes home late.

On the weekends he personally asks the seventh to keep his schedule clear those days so he can train with me.

"The heir of the Uchiha must exceed in everything."

Those are the words I constantly hear. My grades, my discipline , my physical condition. Everything ,must be that of an honor student .

If not ......well, I disappoint my father.

However , things like those I can take. It's just one thing he does that I can't possibly handle..... it's the immense distance in my parents's relationship.

I've asked people about my parents and they always told me that they were so close and their love for each other was like no other.

I didn't understand, if that were the case then why did they seem so distant? What happened? Why were they this way?

They've been this way since I was born, so it's evident that they were like this even when Hitomi was born.

"Momma....."

"Yes san-chan?"

"......Do .....do you love father?....."

My mother looked at the peppers she was chopping with concern as she continued to cut each thin strip.

"Where did this come from?"

I looked down and played with my chair.

"I-I'm just asking.....you two seem so ......so.....distant..."

Mom furrowed her brows then stopped her activity and kept her gaze downward.

"Of course I love your father, san-chan-"

"Then why do you guys act that way?!?"

"San-cha-"

"I don't understand! Are you two together because you love each other or just because of interest?!?!"

"Sanada, that's enough ..."

"If so was I born just so the Uchiha could have an heir?! Not because you love each other or me and Hitomi?!!!"

"SANADA! I SAID THATS ENOUGH!"

She slammed her hand on the table and looked at me with agony drowning her eyes.

I sat there in shock as I looked at my mother, then turned my gaze down in shame.

My mother's beautiful face softened then she brought her delicate hand to my cheek and gave me a sad smile.

"Momma is sorry sweet heart I didn't mean to shout.... I just don't know what's gotten into you lately...you've been so distant with us , is this why?"

My mother then put both her hands to my face and made an apologetic face.

"I'm sorry , and I'm sorry in papa's place as well, ok?"
