Everything has Changed

Part 13

-Sasuke's POV-

I woke up grinning and excited to go to school.

Which, reminds me, I hope Naruto is to!

Hahaha.

I came downstairs to eat my breakfast when I saw Itachi at the dining table.

"Hi Itachi!" I greeted him cheerfully.

"Oh hi Sasuke...." he said a bit emotionless than I expected.

"Is something the matter Itachi?"

"Nothings wrong. I'm just still sleepy... I guess."

He smiles and stands up from the dining table.

"Are you sure?" I ask once again.

"Yeah, thanks for asking anyway Sasuke," he said.

Next thing I knew...... 

He disappeared.

Something seems wrong about Itachi...

He seems so.... cold.....

I'd really like to talk  to Sakura about this.

I mean, I need to get this out of my system... somehow...

So, I got ready for school and left the house.

A few moments later I was at school.

"That's faster than usual.... or I was just deep in thought?" I thought.

The instant my butt hit my seat, fangirls came swarming around me.

Uh!

I know I should be used to this since this happened like every school day.

But, hell!

I don't have the mood for this, I need to talk to Sakura!

I scanned the room despite  all the fangirls around me talking trying to get my attention.

Then I spotted her!

Sakura!

..... and Naruto......

They were talking to each other, laughing and stuff.

A pinch of jealousy came to me in an instant.

I just ignored it and made my way to them.

I really needed to talk to Sakura....and maybe Naruto too.

"Hey Sasuke!" greeted Sakura and Naruto when they saw me.

"Can I talk to you guys?" I asked nervously.

You see, despite me taking almost everything seriously...

I'm not really good with such serious talks regarding issues like this.

"Sure, sit here," said Sakura patting a space beside her.

So, I sat down and took a deep breath.

"What is it that you want to talk about?" asked Naruto.

"Yeah seems pretty serious," added Sakura.

I squirmed at my seat with discomfort.

"Come on Sasuke! You can do this! Just tell them everything you feel," I thought to myself.

"Well, you see Itachi, he seems cold to me nowadays," I started.

"Really? Itachi-san?" commented Naruto.

"Tell us everything you wanna tell us Sasuke don't hide anything," said Sakura encouragingly.

I nodded and told everything to them.

I felt like I was pouring out poison out of my body.

After the talk the 3 of us had, I felt very refreshed that I could at least get all those stuff out of my mind for a while.

So, the day went on quickly.

Naruto suggested that we play later dismissal time.

So, that I could get my mind of those things that I mentioned at the talk earlier.

Sakura agreed without hesitation.

So the 3 of us played until dawn came.

Sakura and Naruto offered to drop by my house a while.

I agreed and we all skipped to my house.

As we were doing that, I realized this was what true friends really did.

Then, I remembered about the promise the 3 of us made with my mother.

I became encouraged that maybe the 3 of us can really keep this friendship of ours forever.

When we came into the Uchiha grounds all the lights of the houses were turned off.

"Why are all the lights out?" wondered Naruto.

"I have a bad feeling about this," said Sakura.

When the 3 of us came into my house....

Everything

was

crimson red.....

in other words.....

"Blood...." whispered Sakura.

The 3 of us quickly rushed to my parents' room.

The sight was....

horrifying....

Blood spilled everywhere.

Then, I saw my parents' bodies were there lying limply and lifelessly on the floor.

........

........

Dead.....

Then, there was a man standing above them.....

The killer....

The murderer.....

I looked up at the man.

His eyes burning red.....

With a Sharingan?

Who was this man?

Why did he do this to his own clan?

"I-Itachi-san....." murmured Sakura looking directly at the man.

That man...

The one who murdered the whole clan....

The one who murdered my family.....

Was my only brother.....

Itachi......
