A king's treasure (SasuNaru)

The past

The man was also known as my older brother, Itachi Uchiha.

"Don't mind me interrupting this sweet moment, but I was here to collect the document. And since Sakura reported she couldn't give it to me yet, I decided why not come here myself and pay my little brother a visit as well?" He smirked.
"But I didn't expect to see another familiar face as well." He patted Naruto's head and my blood instantly boiled.

"Sorry, Sasuke. I couldn't leave you, wounded like this." Sakura, at the side, apologized knowing that there is bad blood between my brother and I.

"Little brother? My guardian is your older brother?" Naruto covered his mouth in astonishment.

Itachi... Itachi was the guardian he was talking about? "He was the one who took care of you during the war?" I asked him curiously.
My brother is a highly dangerous man who have many underworld connections. No wonder the king sent him away with my brother, no wonder the king said he had the power to protect Naruto..

I was still young back then when Itachi moved out. I had no idea back then he was so well known in the underworld.

Naruto nodded, "No wonder you reminded me so much of him."

Ah shit, could he be fond of my brother? Every time he talks about him.. I start to heat up with jealousy.
Does he think my brother is better than me?
Like I said to the prince, I could take care of him better than my brother.

The prince left my arms to hugged my brother. "Itachi, I'm so glad you're alive. I never heard from you ever since then."

"Yeah, I'm surprised to see that you've grown up." The sight of Naruto in another man arms destroyed me. I only wanted him to be mine.
I pulled Naruto back, "Hey. What did I tell you about trusting others?"

"Wha- what do you mean? He's your own brother!"

"Exactly. And I know him very well." I folded my arms, glaring at Itachi. I don't know what his motive is, but it's never a good one.

"Sasuke, you have trust issues." Itachi joked. "Ignore him, prince Naruto. Why not come with me? I'm capable of bringing you home." My older brother stretched out his hand to the young prince.

"Really?" The prince looked elated.
Does he hate the sight of me because of the king's accident?

Why is it that no matter what I do and how hard I try, the prince never wants to stay with me.
I try my hardest to hold onto him but he's always so fading away from me. I can never get a firm grasp on him.

And whenever I think I got him, I don't.

The moments we share together, does it all mean nothing to him?
Because it means everything to me.

"Of course." At this point, I was just hearing Itachi's and Naruto's conversation. It's like I wasn't even in the room. Sakura was at the corner of the room, eating and I might as well join her since I'm invisible here.

"No, Naruto. You can't leave."
You can't leave me was what I really wanted to say. Every time I find myself trying again no matter how many times I've failed. I just can't let go of the prince.

"Who are you to keep me here?" Naruto moved beside Itachi.
My heart was feeling heavy and it ached.

"Itachi, stay away from him." I warned my brother.

"Little brother, I would love to listen to you. But it seems like it is The prince who doesn't want to stay away from me.."
A smirk from him, mocking me.

I punched him, and Naruto raised his voice, "How dare you!"

I know I reminded Naruto of Itachi.
But I am nothing like him.
And I wished Naruto knew that.
Because if there was anything more sinister than me, it is my brother.

In fact, he was the one who raised me to be vicious. He raised me to be evil. I didn't have a choice. I grew up like that, when our parents died suddenly, I was forced to learn the wrong.
He taught me how to fight, to kill.

I knew very well my brother could have blocked that hit. He just wanted me to look bad in the eyes of Naruto's. I grabbed the Prince's wrist and drag him closer to me, and away from my brother.
"Hey, let go! I had enough of being your prisoner!" He tried to pull my hand off his.
Does he hate me now?

It hurts.
So bad. I want him so bad, why can't he want me the same way?

"You think I give a fucking damn?!"
Shit. I can't control myself. I have so much suppressed in me, I want to explode.
I have to pull myself together.
I squeezed his wrist tighter, "Stop, Sasuke! You're hurting me!"

"I don't give a damn as well! I'm leaving with Itachi!" I could tell he was dead serious, the expression in his eyes.. I couldn't explain.

"I'm doing this for your fucking own good!" I fiercely answered.

"No! From the beginning you've been saying that and since then look what good has it done to me! You're only thinking for yourself, you selfish idiot!" He slapped me hard.

But the words hit me harder than his physical impact.
I let his wrist go. The room fell silent. I was dumbfounded.

I broke the silence by saying, "Fine. Fucking go ahead."

I was at the end of my rope. I held on for too long, now it even hurts to give up.
