Everything has Changed

Part 14

-Sakura's POV-

"Itachi-san....." I whispered in realization of the person in front of me.

By this, Sasuke let out a gasp.

"Itachi..... how could you?" whispered Sasuke.

I looked at Itachi-san.

"HOW COULD YOU ITACHI?!?" shouted Sasuke.

A low laugh became audible to our ears.

"My foolish brother," Itachi-san started.

All of our attention snapped back to Itachi-san.

I know all of us were now cautious of our actions in front of Itachi-san.

We all knew that the cheerful and kind person we knew....

Was

Gone

And was replaced by this merciless killer.

But, there is a possibility that this was all an act....

Or maybe not......

"You didn't really do this right Itachi-san?" I said.

I still believe.... even though it pretty like 0.001 % possible.

The low laugh previously heard became audible again.

"Of course I did this little Sa-ku-ra," he laughed grimly.

Now, it was my turn to let out a gasp.

Question overloaded my small mind.

Why did he do it?

Did someone instruct him?

How could he even do this?

Did he do this voluntarily?

........

Was he happy about this?

"WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO YOUR OWN FAMILY?"

We all turned to Naruto in surprise.

My eyes softened.

Naruto is quite sensitive about this stuff.

Because you know him... he lost his parents.

Pretty much like me but much in a worse situation.

He was ignored by the whole village.

"WHY DID YOU DO THIS? AREN'T YOU LUCKY TO HAVE A FAMILY?" Naruto continued.

"What if I said I really wanted to do this?" Itachi-san answered a moment later.

Our eyes widened in shock.

Itachi-san...

Really...

Wanted...

To...

Do...

This?

Then, Sasuke suddenly knelt down.

He was shaking.

He was crying.

Naruto and I immediately rushed to him.

"Sasuke..." I mumbled worried.

All this stress and events have taken a toll on him.

"Fools..." I heard Itachi-san whisper.

Then, Naruto and I looked at him.

He fixed his 2 eyes on us.

His 2 crimson red eyes...

Glowing with such powerful aura...

The familiar pattern Sasuke has told us about.

The Uchiha clan's Sharingan...

Then, I felt myself drowning.....

Drowning in the pools of his crimson red eyes...

I was being dragged.....

Dragged back to my wrecked past...

The past of loneliness....

The past of no family.....

The past of being alone in this world....

No friends....

No family.....

No nothing....

Only darkness....

Then, I saw a 2 people...

A man and a woman....

Could it be?

"Mom?.... Dad?" I call out.

They didn't turn around to greet me.

Instead my surroundings were merged to an area.

With pools and pools of blood.

Then, right before my eyes....

My parents were being....

Slaughtered.....

Killed....

Tortured.....

I never seen anything so bloody as this event.

I never remembered anything like this from my past.

Not on single thing like this.

I closed my eyes.

Trying to shut out all the screams, the shouts, the sounds of the knives being in contact with skin, sounds of being pierced.

I wanted to shut myself to the whole word completely.

I realized I was crying....

Crying my heart out....

I opened my eyes...

I was back to reality.

I was back with everyone....

Then, I saw Sasuke, he was lying motionless on the floor.

I quickly went to him...

He was shaking....

Crying....

Screaming.....

In pain, despair and misery......

Naruto was the same.

I looked around.

Where was Itachi-san?

"Naive, foolish children you all are," I heard a whisper.

I turned around.

"Itachi-san...." I said.

He let out a small evil and grim chuckle.

Everything went black.....
