There's a Reason He Doesn't Sleep

You fucked up, Sasuke.

Kurama Uzumaki didn't have the patience to wait for Itachi to get out of the car; nor did he have the patience to wait until the younger Uchiha opened the door to his apartment. "Kyu? What are-" Sasuke was pushed back inside his own apartment as the angry red head walked in.

"Alright, Sasuke. Never had I thought the day would come when you would hurt my little brother, and look. Here we are." Kyu snarled, Itachi outside deciding if he should intervene or not. He knew Sasuke fucked up. "Tell me, Uchiha, in what world do you think you'll be able to get away with that so easily?"

Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Let me guess, he- no, your poor excuse of a brother sent you, didn't he?" Immediately, Sasuke regretted what he said as Kyu's eyes widened and was fast to react and pin him up against the wall.

"Say something else about him, I dare you." Kyu challenged, surprising Itachi as he walked in to see his friend lift Sasuke up against the wall, his feet dangling a few inches from the floor. "Come on, Sasuke. Wanna run that by me again?" Kyu asked, a ferocity in his voice that made even Itachi stare at him wide eyed.

"Kyu, maybe we should let him explain?" Itachi asked, placing a hand on the angry Uzumaki. He didn't voice it, but he was really concerned about his brother's neck at the moment. This was definitely a different Kyu he'd never seen before. "Come on, I don't even know myself, fill me in." Kurama didn't move an inch, he kept the younger Uchiha in his grip even as he started coughing for air.

"Your little brother is an imbecile, that's what happened." Kyu snarled.

"He cheated on...me." Sasuke choked out. Kyu tightened his grip a bit more, though Itachi, now actually concerned, asked him to release him a little. "How was I not supposed to leave him, brother?" He looked over to his sibling.

"Oh, whine about it." Kyu rolled his eyes. "That's not all that happened. Konan said you accused him of cheating, she never said anything about my brother admitting to that." Sasuke struggled to breathe for air now, so Kyu let him down a little. "Tell me what really happened or I will crush your dick, Uchiha, I swear I will."

Sasuke swallowed a lump of saliva, looking from Kyu's angry red orbs to his brother's. "He said he was raped, alright?" He blurted out. "He said someone attacked him and of course I knew better. Your little brother made up some shit story to hide the fact he was cheating on me. Of course he'd come up with some lame ass excuse!"

"He..." Itachi blinked. "He was...what?" Processing the piece of information, he quickly looked over towards a frozen Kurama. "Kyu..." Itachi walked up to him, placing a hand over the red head's arm. "Kyu, we shouldn't be here. If Naruto said he was ra-"

"Bastard." Kyu mumbled under his breath, his eyes wet but still housing a fury within them. "He came to you for help, and you dare think he cheated on you." He trembled, gripping his hand once again tightly around the smaller Uchiha's neck. Sasuke brought up his hands to pull away the other's hands but it was of no use. "He came to you...and you do this shit."

Sasuke rolled his eyes, clearly not getting the seriousness of the situation. "It's a l-lie...Kyu. He...cheated on me, don't tell me you've n-never cheated on your...previous..." Sasuke gasped for air, Itachi getting more concerned at the color his little brother was turning. "...boyfriends." Sasuke finished. Kyu let go a little to let him breathe a bit. "Of course he'd- he'd be the same as you." He coughed. "Coming up with being raped kind of killed it, you know? He could've come out and told me straight up instead of being a drama quee-" Sasuke had difficulty breathing already, and now he took a sharp breath of air as Kurama punched the boy with all his force in the groin.

"Like hell my little brother is anything like me." Kyu let the boy fall to the floor, serious as he looked down at him. "I'm glad you broke up with him, now he won't have a poor excuse of a boy like you around him. Grow a pair, Uchiha." He watched as Itachi kneeled before his little brother, helping him up. "Itachi, I'm leaving. Drive me back when you're done attending to this piece of shit." With that, Kurama turned around and walked out the door.

"Wait, I'll go with you." Itachi said, getting up to follow Kyu. "Sorry Sasuke, even I know you fucked this one up." He left his little brother lying on the floor as he walked behind Kyu. "Are you-"

"Rape." Kyu whispered, placing a hand over his mouth as silent sobs escaped his lips. "He was...my little brother was..."

"Okay, Kyu, listen to me, okay? It's not your fault. If what Naruto said is true, then we shouldn't be lounging around here. He must need you right now." Receiving a quiet nod, Itachi led Kyu back to his car, both pulling on their seatbelts as Itachi drove quickly to the blond's house.

While Kyu stayed silent throughout the ride, Itachi thought back to what his brother said. Indeed his little brother was an idiot, no way Naruto would be so low as to cheat on him. "We're here." He announced, taking Kyu out of his silence. Kyu nodded, getting out of the car and quickly walking over to the house. Itachi walked slowly behind him, taking a look at the two story house and sighing. He smiled a bit as he approached the door.
