'' I'm home'' he take out his shoes and put his bag on table in the living room, throwing his tired body to the large gray L sofa and closed his sleepy eyes.
''Don't sleep there Sasuke''
Sasuke open his eyes and see his brother standing in his side wearing an pink apron with floral pattern.
''Dinner will be ready in any minute'' his brother added.
Sasuke look at him with his drowsy dark eye, yet still have those sharp glance as if he wanted to know something and Itachi notice it.
''Why you looking at me like that? Is there something you want to ask to me?''
Sasuke who just look at him stand up and just walk toward to the stairs but before he even make one step he halt and title his head, looking in his brother hand that holding a fish turner Sasuke speak '' Y-you, why both of you are together last time?''
Itachi look at his little brother in his clueless expression, then suddenly, snap is mind and recalling the encounter of the girl with a pink hair, Itachi sigh and make a silly smirk.
''A-ah! You talking about that person-'' putting his one arms across in his chest while still holding the fish turner, Itachi make a silly smile and said ''I'ts a secret'' ' then wink to his little brother, who have now annoyed with his playful answer. It's so rare to see Sasuke so enthusiastic about something, his little brother usually never paying attention to anything that is so annoying in his sight.
And looking those behavior of that pink haired girl, is sure that Sasuke think at her as annoying, but asking him right now about that, seem like really interesting to Itachi.
Sasuke who notice the smirk on his brother and his teasing tone, narrow his eyebrow and before he start his journey back to his room Sasuke smirk too and said ''You look a old maiden in that pink floral apron''
Looking to his little brother climbing the stairs, Itachi make a simply glance on his apron then release a soft groan and slightly scratched his left cheek.
A small noise can be heard in the dark room of the young Uchiha. After going inside, Sasuke close his door slowly and create a small sound. Sliding his body to the wall, leaning his back and look so deep in his dark room.
Sasuke really hate to stay to this house. Every time he stepping on this house all his sorrow dark past comeback to his mind.This empty big house, make his suffocated, like every time his here,there something block on his throat.
Those past he want to forget so badly but, even it's already two years have passed, those pain he felt is still remained in his heart and his memory on that day still lingering in his mind. The day he lost his parents!
The sleepy eyes of him turn into a sharp glance. Gritting his teeth while looking so deep with those death glares, Sasuke recalling all those painful tragedy in their life and the reason his brother suffer and give up his dreams.
All of this, is cause of only one person, and he will never forgive that person for stolen their parents to them and become orphan.
The loud bell sound that devour all over the school, is the sign that classes is over, everyone start to go out one by one in their classroom, but the dark haired guy who just woke up, stay still in his chair and watch the heavy rain the pouring outside.
''How we going to play basketball now, if its rain like this'' he said, feel disappointment to see those tiny water drop from the dark sky that's looks like its won't stop for the time being. His match with his brother will be sure postponed, seeing this kind of heavy rain.
Sasuke stand, lift his bag to his shoulder then start to walk toward to the door, seating this empty room can't change anything so he just decide to go home and play videos games.
Walking under the rain, Sasuke thank his mother on his mind for being stubborn this morning and insisted him to take an umbrella. If he didn't listen, for sure he will soaking and trembling in cold right now.
ring ring ring ring
The sound and vibration on his phone make Sasuke halt and quickly take his phone outside his pants pocket.
His mother is calling...
''Mom''
''Sasuke'' his mother said
'' I'm sorry to suddenly call you, are you busy?''
''No''
''Great! Can you stop by to the supermarket, we might got home so late, we stuck on the traffic. So, can you buy the ingredients for the dinner? Itachi still on his school, so your the only one i can ask.''
''Aa'' then his mother hung up the phone. Sasuke that's already near in train station turn his back and start walking toward to the supermarket.
The rain it's continue pouring, and the wind start to blow heavily. Sasuke finish buying all her mother asking, look up to the dark sky, it's just only 6 o'clock but it's looks like it's already midnight.
Sasuke start walking through the cold and quiet alley back to the train station and give a simply glanced on his surroundings
Due to the incessant pouring of the rain, other stores are starting to close. The usually crowded alley became quiet and only a few people could be seen passing by. After all, they were all in a hurry to get home and relieve the cold brought by the heavy rain.
The every rain that drop on the ground create a loud sounds in Sasuke's ears.It's so noisy but for Sasuke those sound is feels refreshing in his ears, but those sound started to become a real noise in his ears, when he heard a heavy sound of foot step behind him. It's heavy and faster run make the water on the ground flash every time it create a heavy step.
Sasuke continue walking only title his head in his left side. A figure of a girl running pass by in his sight.He followed it with his gaze as it continued to run, regardless of the heavy rain that was pouring down on its entire body. Even though she was wearing a jacket, her trembling was still noticeable and her staggering running, which caused her to lose her balance and fall on the watery and muddy road. Even so, regardless of the scars she gets from falling down, she just quickly stand up and continue to run, looks like someone is chasing her. And young Uchiha only follow that figure until it vanish on his sight.
It already 7 o'clock when he arrives at their house.Because of the heavy rain, the travel to back to his house is a bit troublesome. And even though he was still outside, he knew immediately that there's still no one inside their house, probably his brother was still there at his school. When he opened the door, he quickly hang the umbrella and took off his wet shoes, went to the kitchen to put the groceries on the table and begin toward to his room to change clothes so his body relieve the cold feeling for staying to longer outside. But before he could make a single step towards the stairs, he heard a sound of their door.
Someone is knocking ..
He knew it wasn't his parents or his older brother, because they had their own house keys. Although it was very cold and really want to change a dry clothes, he just turned back toward to the door to see who was knocking, but to every step he took towards it, the knocking got louder and louder.
bang bang bang
The earlier gentle knock became a seemingly loud thump on their door, which is why his eyes were already narrowing in annoyance.
As he opened the door, he saw the figure of his uncle.
'' Uncle Obito? '' he said
'' Sasuke .. '' his voice was weak but obviously shaking, and even though it was a bit dark because he was blocking the light that coming from inside, the sadness on his face is still visible ..
'' Uncle what-
He couldn't continue what he was going to say when suddenly his uncle's wet and shaking body wrapped around him.
As his uncle hugged him tightly, he could hear the tears dripping down on his shoulders.
The sound of his uncle sobbing was like a knife that stabbing him heart, even though he couldn't understand why his uncle was acting like that.
'' Uncle? '' he said
"Sasuke .... Sasuke..your parents" he replied..
As the man that still hugging him, there was a horror and sadness that crept into his whole body as he continue to listed to every word that his uncle uttered. As if sorrow is slowly eating him. He felt like he was just only deceived by his hearing due to the loud sound of the rain, but as his uncle continued to cry, even though he knew it was reality some part of his brain was screaming and wishing that all of that was just a nightmare.
The light that bring by lightning that strikes in the sky every minute, is the only light that can be seen in the gloomy house. In the dark corner of the room, a man sitting quietly on the floor, leaning against the wall, and never left is glare to the plastic that full of ingredients on the table.It's the things that his mother ask him to buy just a couple hours ago. The time when he just heard his mother warm voice. But now only left is plastic bag that only visible whenever there is a little light caused by the incessant lightning in the sky. The dark sky in conjunction with loud thunder that seemed to eating the silence and heavy downpour that accompanied his grief.
''M-mom'' he groan with his devastated voices when he heard a footstep toward to him.
''Sasuke?''
Sasuke only move his eyes slight to his right side, upon hearing the voice of his brother. The long haired Uchiha that have a sorrow look continue walking to him.Seeing those despair look of his brother, Sasuke only groan then back his eyes to the plastic bag in the table.
''W-what are you doing here?Are you not going to see them?'' Itachi said, his eyes who already swollen that cause for crying to much, is now looking to his brother that still looking deeply in the plastic bag in the table.
But it did not answer. Itachi can feel his brother's grief because like him, he feels the same way but as his older brother and his only family, he cannot be discouraged and show any weakness that cause more to Sasuke's shuttered in to despairs and sorrow.
'' Sasuke- '' he said, kneeling down, as he gently pat his little brother cold hands
'' Y-you need to be brave, I'm here, I won't leave you, i promise. ''
At the words uttered by his brother, his black and lifeless eyes begin to weep again, those sorrowful voice that drifting over that room make his brother hug him tightly.
A series of knocks awakened him to his slumber.
"We're going to eat, hurry up and go down" said by his older brother who was still knocking.
With annoying face. Sasuke stood up
'' Aa'' he said. Knowing his brother it won't stop disturbing him if he refuse.So he take some clothes in his drawer and starting to strip
He didn't think he would be able to sleep while sitting on the floor, his tired body make him fall sleep immediately and dreamed of something he didn't want to remember anymore..All of that thanks to that four eye freak who forces him to show his sadist side.
When he remembered what it looked like after he tasted his anger, he was groan
"It's his fault, he made me angry," Sasuke said.
Wearing a long-sleeved gray t-shirt and a white pajamas, he headed out through the door and walk toward to the kitchen where his brother just already finished preparing the table.
''Let's eat'' Itachi said.
Sasuke only nod and pull the chair and sit down.The two Uchiha that starting their quiet meal, but just only a minute past, Itachi broke the silent.
'' Sasuke''
''Hm?''
''Do you like that Sakura?''
