INFATUATION

0.

"Have you got them all?"

It was a cool night. Most of the village was sleeping. The only things illuminating the dark streets were the lamp posts standing somewhat close to each other.

Blood was splattered within every Uchiha filled residence.

"Yes. I left the home alone, that's the final one." Itachi spoke calmly despite having just slaughtered multiple families. Obito remained silent for a moment. He was nervous, maybe even scared. "I see."

He turned on his heel and faced the direction of the estate he knew all too well. "I'll make it quick."

He hopped from roof to roof until eventually reaching the familiar house that sat beside his old one.

Obito slashed open the door. Creating an opening with ease. He slowly walked in, making sure to glance at the framed pictures displayed around. It had been a while since he last stepped foot inside.

He stopped at a certain wooden door. Pushing it open with a loud creak, this was your parents room. They somehow slept soundly, unbothered by the ruckus from the massacre. He tilted his head like a dog, confused. Oh well, less work for the masked man.

He raised his sword up high before bringing it down on them.

SPLAT!

The blade was painted crimson. He did it again.

SPLAT.

Their blood sunk into the sheets, staining the once white covers. He wiped the blood from his weapon against the cleaner part of the bed.

Now to take care of the "final" Uchiha left.

You laid surrounded by countless plushies. 'Was this family always filled with such heavy sleepers..?' He thought to himself. Obito quietly walked up to your bed, staring down at your sleeping form. His hand placed itself on your cheek.

"Poor Y/n," He sighed, "I feel awful for doing this to you." He removed his hand and let it fall to his side. "It's for the best."

His eyes caught sight of a picture on your nightstand. He curiously stared before stretching over to grab ahold of it. His heart ached. A printed image of the two of you. Before the mission of course.

Obito was so caught up with Rin he had forgotten he had a personal fan back home. You must have been so heart broken when you heard the news.

"Mm.." you stirred. He quickly slapped it back onto where it was and faced you. You rubbed your eyes as you sat up. "Huh.. mom..?" You called out. All you could make out was long hair on the silhouette looming over you.

"She's gone."

His voice was deep and intimidating. How could he say that so emotionlessly.. You stared up at him in shock. That was definitely NOT mom. "Wha— what?"

"Your parents, your bloodline. They're gone."

Your body felt cold and you froze momentarily. This is all a dream. Right?? There's no way they could actually be dead. You threw your big puffy blanket off you, "move!" You shouted, you didn't even notice that you phased right through his giant body.

"Mom, dad!" You shouted as you scrambled into their room. You shook them harshly, but you knew he was right, their blood pond sunk into your clothes and stained your skin. "Wake up!" Tears streamed down your cheeks. "Guys!"

The masked man took his time entering after you. "I'm sorry," he said. He didn't sound sorry. "I hope you can forgive me, Y/n." You quickly turned around. You felt so much at once. Anger, sadness, shock, confusion.

Your brows were furrowed and you stared up at him with glossy eyes. "How.. how could you!" Your voice broke midway. "This world can be so cruel. Huh?" Obito approached. He reached his hand out again, placing it carefully onto your face, near your now red eyes.

"Don't worry. Just give me time, I'll save us from this hell."

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

The two Uchiha killers were completely unaware that the other had spared a child. So, you sat beside the only other Uchiha survivor. Sasuke. "-But if this was Itachi's doing, why would he spare her?? Was it an accident. I understand his younger brother.. but her? They aren't closely related at all.." although you were right outside the Hokages office, you couldn't understand any of it. It was all muffled out.

Well, didn't matter much, you weren't too interested in eavesdropping at the moment. How could you be? Your family was slaughtered, and all while you slept comfortably. You glanced over at Sasuke, he hung his head low, his hands clung to his knees.

"Hello you two. I've heard a lot about you." You looked up, when did someone else get here! "Why don't we go on a small walk." It was the Hokage.

You slowly slid off your chair until your feet would hit the ground with a small tap. You and Sasuke trailed behind him. "You aren't talkers, huh?" He was half joking, but you both remained silent. The Hokage coughed, "I'm.. very sorry about what happened. I know what it's like to lose ... people, who are close to you." He paused.

"it's perfectly fine to feel sad for them. But I want you two to understand they certainly wouldn't want you to spend the rest of your lives swallowed into the depths of depression, especially since you're so young." He preached. His words made you feel a bit guilty. He was right.

"On another note.. Hokage work is quite draining, would you two like to eat with me? I'm starving." He smiled. You looked over at Sasuke. Who took a peak at you. You both nodded. "Great!"

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

You and Sasuke silently walked through the academy halls. It was only your second day attending and you were both tardy! Well, not really. The Hokage had given you two a note explaining everything briefly for Iruka. So hopefully he'd understand and let you off the hook.

"Hey, Sasuke.." You spoke, messing with the paper in your hands. "Can you pass him the note, and walk in before me..?" You were quite shy. Sasuke took note of this.

"Yeah, sure. Give it here."  He extended his hand out, you smiled and happily passed it over.

PHE-EW.

Fortunately, Sasuke took one for the team AGAIN and decided he'd be the one to to open up the sliding door. "Oh. Y/n, Sasuke? You two are incredibly late." Iruka sounded a bit annoyed that he was interrupted mid lesson. He placed his hands briefly on his hips.

The small Uchiha boy calmly walked closer to hand the note to him. Irukas expression changed dramatically after reading. "O-oh! I'm.. so sorry.. uh.. go ahead and get seated.." He folded the paper and slid it into his pocket. You practically hid behind Sasuke the entire time, up until you split ways since you weren't seated together.

"Y/n! What was that about!?" Ino whispered to you, she sounded incredibly shocked. "It's not what you think.. I'll tell you later though." You quickly reassured her, knowing she had a huge crush on him. "Ohh, okay!" She sighed in relief.

However, the rest of the girls in class glared daggers into the back of your head. To them, you were very big competition.
