Upon A New Horizon

It was a different world. One ruled by monsters and instinct. In a search for power, the inhabitants of the planet squandered their humanity. Madmen wearing the guise of science dawned the cape of God and tampered with fate. Genetic experiments plunged the human race into a world war that shook all nations and life itself shuttered. But out of its ashes rose a new generation. Ones born and bred from the very anomalies that nearly destroyed their home. Upon the broken bones of their ancestors, they built anew and thus the dawn of a new era began. One ruled not by man nor beast, but something refined by both.

“You’re being given to the Uzumaki clan.”

The stare off that followed was legendary. “What?” the second son of Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha hissed. Under normal circumstances Sasuke would never question his father but he had to have heard wrong. Surely he was mistaken.

“You know I don’t like repeating myself Sasuke.” his father chided.

So he’d heard correctly then. Wonderful. “What the fuck!” he bellowed as his body jerked upright, formalities forgotten. “I thought it was decided—!“

The Uchiha clan-head rose to his own feet and pinned him with a glare that rivaled his own. “Sit down.” The command was issued in a low tone but the threat wasn’t missed by him. “Now.”

He sat.

“We will unify our clans and to do as such, you will take the Uzumaki as your mate.” Fugaku continued.

“I don’t understand.” he spat, contempt evident in his words. “The Uchiha have nothing to do with the Fox clan. We have no need to form ties with other clans.”

“Silence boy!”

Sasuke bit his tongue. His nails dug viciously into his fisted palm. It was a welcome discomfort.

“As you know, Itachi has failed his mission.” his father paced the length of the dais as he spoke. “There is talk of war. Itachi’s task was to infiltrate the Uzumaki Clan and unearth their ties to the Sound. If the Sound has allied themselves with the surrounding clans, they pose a serious threat. We need to take control of the Uzumaki before Sound does.”

He looked at his son then, dark eyes cold and calculating. No spark of familial warmth resided in their depths. To Fugaku, Sasuke was a tool. One honed for his hand, sharpened to perfection and maintained for as long as he was useful. “The Fox clan’s head is without a mate. He searches for a suitable omega to take his side. You, Sasuke, will become his omega. Infiltrate the clan and gather information. When the time is right, you’re to assassinate Naruto Uzumaki.”
    
“This is a mission then?” That knowledge did nothing to quell the sick current churning in his gut. It sent a tremor through his limbs that he didn’t let show as he stood once more. “Send someone else.” Sasuke bit out. “One of the female omegas would be better suited for this task.” His dexterities dwelled in killing, not warming the bed of some alpha and playing house. There was no point in continuing this conversation. Sasuke had spent his entire life hiding his status at his fathers’ command. Omegas were cherished because they were used for breeding but he was no omega, not mentally, and he sure as hell wasn’t going to allow himself to become one now.

As he neared the door to leave the suite his father’s voice rang out. “You will do this Sasuke and do so happily.”

Death itself withered at the stare the young Uchiha shot his sire. “Really? I think not. I’ve dedicated twenty years of my life to you and the clan. I will eliminate any target you wish me to but I will do so my way. If you want the Uzumaki dead, give me the orders but I won’t be accomplishing it by your means.”
