" the water is overflowing''

The sound of the voice from the back make Itachi mind back to his sanity. His  little brother Sasuke standing on the door of the kitchen." What? '' Itachi said

" I said, the water is overflowing ''

Then Itachi dark orb landed to the faucet in sink. The water is almost overflowing so he quickly close it ''That so closed '' he sigh.

Walking to the table while his brother is already sitting and eating his breakfast. Itachi seriously look at the young Uchiha.

"What is it? '' Sasuke said, realizing the stare of his brother.

" Well- last night did something happened? '' Itachi ask.

Sasuke who  stopped his eating,look at his brother with his wondering eye because of that strange question of him. " What are you talking about? '' he said not letting go his gaze to his brother that look so anxious for some reason.

''Huh? Oh nothing! I'm just asking if you both go back home safe'' Itachi said.

'' Is that so? ''

'' Of course '' Itachi go back to the sink and continue his doing. Knowing of his brother reaction, he might worrying for nothing.

Last night after he accidentally see his brother and the pink haired girl, he go to one of the coffee shop there to meet his college friends. After a couple of minutes one by one, they all coming.Daidara and Pain who came together quickly sit in table where the long haired Uchiha is sitting and the last person who came is his journalist friend Sasori.

" Yo! '' the red hair who waving his hand sit directly to opposite side of Itachi, taking Itachi's juice and drink it with out hesitation.

'' What's up? Did something happened? '' Deidara said looking of a bit annoyed face of the his friend.

'' Yeah, tell us and don't drink my juice '' snatching of the glass of juice on Sasori's hand.

Scrawlings his face Sasori's cross his arms and his legs

" I'm doing a new article, but the main character is to-" looking a bit on the other side of the road and groan ''- hard to approach. ''

" What do you mean? '' Deidara ask

" Is a girl o a boy? '' Pain said

'' a girl''

" So what's the problem? Do what you always do, girls can resist you anyway " Deidara added then make a smirk who follow by nod of his orange haired friend.

But Sasori only sigh, and Itachi who just listening to their conversation look at the red haired guy .

" Their's a arrogant brat who lingering around her."

" A brat? Wait, are you chasing a young girl? '' Pain said

" Hm.. a pretty pink haired young girl'' a smile that draw on his lips make Itachi's eyebrows narrow but remain silent and just listening quietly to the red haired storytelling.

" A pink haired girl? That's unusual color of hair'' Pain said

" It is, and have usually color of eyes too" Sasori added

The long haired Uchiha who already caught his attention ask a question." Why you want to talk that girl? ''

Relaxing his both shoulder Sasori look at him a bit strange, not blinking his eyes to dark orb. But instead answering Itachi's question he look title his head in his right side looking away then wave his hand to call the waitress.

The girl who have a violent hair walk to there table holding her small note book then ask the red haired guy '' yes sir? ''

'' One Americano please" Sasori said and give the waitress a wink before going back to the counter.

'' Before flirting to other girl would you mind to answer Itachi's question? '' Pain said who now narrowing his eyes to the red haire guy who not aware about the situation..

'' what's up?Did you know that waitress ? ''

''Not really., She's just Pain's girlfriend '' Deidara said than now suppressing his laughter.

'' Oh really sorry dude I didn't know''

'' it's fine, just continue your story "

A small cough release by the red haired guy then start his story.

"Do you remember the incident that happened two years ago? ''

The two guy who listen to the red haired guy immediately look to the Uchiha who have a shocking face, his eyes wider and shaking .

And because of the reaction of the long dark haired guy, Pain quicky tap Sasori's shoulder, a sign that he must stop to what ever he want to tell.

But before Sasori's could catch up what Pain is up to, Itachi shake his head "I'm fine" he said make a eye contact to the orange haired guy who immediately back off his hand and just slowly tap the table.

Sasori, upon realizing what happening around him. He simply look to his  three friends  reaction then release a long groan, scratch his head and said in awkward tone '' I'm sorry, I forget about you Itachi ''

Itachi only simile at him and tell to continue. The cold breeze of the wind on the night make all people  passing by shake in cold but Itachi who listening to his friends story, sweat like crazy as if the wind that gasping on his body is a blaze of fire, his heart can stop shaking.

'' Are you sure about that? '' Itachi who can barely respond to Sasori's story putting his both hand to his lamp to stop his long leg for trembling.

" Well, I'm still in the middle of my investigation, but one thing is so sure.. that girl-'' looking so serious to Itachi's eyes Sasori continue ''-she's there on the time that the accident happen, the accident that cause of you and your brother to become orphan ''

The things that the red haired guy tell last night is still wondering to Itachi's mind, not aware that his younger brother is already finished his breakfast and call his name for so many time but the daze long haired Uchiha is still serious looking on the faucet.

Sasuke who can handle those daze looks of his brother walk towards to the daze Itachi then give a knock on his head.

''W-wha-what is it?! '' said by the startle Itachi who confused why his brother is standing on his back.

'' What's the heck is happening to you? ''

" What? ''

" You look stupid"

" Ah! I'm just tired from my job last night that's all" the excuse of the long haired Uchiha make Sasuke lips grimace for disbelief. He know very well that his brother is not a good liar, but because he know too that his brother don't want to see him worrying about him, Sasuke just pretend he believes what his brother said just say ''Aa'' and turn his back.

" Are you going to school? ''

" Aa'' Sasuke response. Put his bag to his left shoulder then start to go the door, buy Itachi immediately follow him and ask some weird question to his younger brother

" Ah, Sasuke-'' looking down on the ground that's looks like he his face is full of hesitation, but after a relaxing is body Itachi continue ''Sakura, is she the only one who have a pink hair in your school? '' he said praying in his mind that Sasuke will say ''No'' but what Sasuke's answer turn his face in dismay.

'' Dunno, maybe''

'' Ah- I see.''

''Why? ''

''Huh? ''

The young Uchiha that now is standing and looking straight to his brother on his sharp gaze " You look so interested to that girl? '' Sasuke said.

'' Do I look like that? ''

''Aa''

'' Hahaha I'm sorry, if you misunderstood it, it's just her hair is unusual so I thought that's the new trending hair color today, do you feel jealous? '' Itachi said having those silly smile again make his younger brother groan and quickly walk toward to the door and leave.

The long haired Uchiha that having a silly smile earlier turn in a serious mode again. Hoping that all Sasori's conclusion is wrong. Looking to the door where his younger brother went through, Itachi eyes turn is sorrow, while he remembered the look of his foolish brother every time they talk about the girl with a pink hair. The stress and fears that crawling over his whole body because of what his friend said last night.

He didn't know what to do,if Sasori  proved it's! If all his  suspicions rights after all. How can he face his brother if that's happen?

He couldn't bear to see his beloved brother's world crumble again. He couldn't bear to see Sasuke's swallowed again by so much sadness and anger. That's why, at that time, while Sasori's telling those things to him. His mind and his heart praying for something, something that only the one on the sky can do. If the God is listening to him, he hope, that all of that  it's not true and just a mistake of his friend. Because, if the faith is really unfair to them and the God is toying his one and only family, and all of the scared thing in his mind turn to be true. He can't bear to  see the reaction on his brother's face if he finds out that the girl who gradually entered on his life may be involved in an accident. The accident that turn to Sasuke to become a lone.

Itachi remember those eyes of Sasuke. The eye's that so determine, like it's not afraid to walk through path of  hatred and vengeance.

The day when he received those tragic news, his world, instantly, it's swallowed by darkness and sorrow. He can't believe the reality in front of him, with those two lifeless body of his father and mother. It felt like  just a dream. A worst dream ever! Cause, just this morning, they all happily eating their breakfast, talking about school and some sort of funny things and now, as if all of that is just all memory in past.

Itachi look to his brother who just standing and not even blinking of his dark eye. Just fixing his gaze to the

coffin of their parents.

Patting to his shoulder, Sasuke just only give a quick gaze to his brother then back his eyes again in front where all the flowers are gathering on the coffin of his parents.

" Sasuke, you need to take a rest'' Itachi said. But Sasuke didn't answer and remain standing. He not even talking. The cold voice of his younger brother never been heard again, since that accident happen.

But he can't blame him, to this kind of tragedy, who on earth can still have a will to live, if it's aren't for his younger brother, Itachi felt like he won't survive on this kind of pain in his hear, he just want to escape to this nightmare, but everytime his lifeless eye landed to his younger brother, shaking his head and telling to himself to fight, be brave for the shake of his only brother.

Itachi who have  a dark circles under his eyes and a gaunt body for not having a sleep and a proper meal, notice some the guest who just sitting not far from where they are turn to be there relatives.

but the thing that aroused his attention is their gossip about the accident.

"I also can't believe what happened'' said of a lady wearing a black blouse, and turn to his relatives on his father side.

'' Just because of that person who committed suicide, something like this would happen!''  the other old woman said

" But isn't that person is very selfish, if she want to kill herself,why on that road? Look what happen , look what kind of tragedy she brought for those two poor guy.'' The old man who look like one of their uncle said.

'' Yeah, and the most shocking things is-'' the old woman look in his surrounding and simply wave her hand, a sign that she want all of her companion go more near her. One by one they started to lean they head near to the old woman '' And you the most shocking things is, that person is still a live '' she whisper.

Itachi felt like a bucket of ice poured over his body when he heard those gossip, like his head felt like it's become big for so much pain about what he know. He couldn't fully imagine that he lost the lives of two people he loved and destroyed his family just because of a useless and sinful reason. "suicide?" just because of that, they are encounter this kind of  nightmare now! Those things  he heard was going over and over again in his head, his fist was gradually closing tightly in anger and his legs were moving spontaneously towards the group of old elder who were talking in the distance, when suddenly there was a loud screaming and a sound of a glasses that throwing hard in the ground. Those sound  bring him back to his senses.. the brother who speechless by his side a minute ago, is  now right there among the elders who have fears on they face.

''Sasuk-'' he couldn't finish what he was going to say when he looked down at his right hand, a red liquid was flowing out of it while holding tightly to a broken bottle and the old elder? All of them  wide-eyed their eyes, while sitting on the floor and looking scared at his brother.

" Tell me about that person? '' Sasuke said, never let go his hand to the bottle and still looking to the elders in his sharp eyes.

The elders who become statue can't say anything, all of them become speechless for  the younger Uchiha's unexpected action.

Itachi who can't believe to see those kid of eyes to his brother can't do anything and just remain  looking  to what his younger brother was doing..how he overturned the table and threw all things in front of him.

Sasuke  seemed to have completely lost his senses and was only shouting and asking again and again who that person. The person that cause all of that mess. The Sasuke he know completely become a different person. And Itachi can't bare to watch it.

after that incident, he rarely saw his brother, Sasuke was always locked himself in the room and never came out. He thought it was just because he was mourning the loss of their parents.

So he just give Sasuke's time, but the day past his still the same. No matter how many times he ask him to come out, Sasuke's shadow can't even be seen.

Knock

Knock

Knock

"Sasuke came out, don't you have any plans to come to school? '' he said but his brother didn't have any response.

''Sasuke!? can you hear me? Are you going to stay like this? locked up and sulk here for the rest of your life?! Sasu-''

Creak....

The door opened slightly, Itachi who senses his brother inside slowly opened it to see what his younger brother doing

" Sasuke? '' he said

But no matter how many times he called his name there was no reply from his brother,so he open the light to dark room.

'' Where did he go? '' decided to go back to the living room, Itachi suddenly stop when he saw some paper that scattered over the table and some of them is on the floor. But what he saw make him more worried to his brother when he saw that the paper on his study table is all article    and some documents about the accident.

Itachi that have a bad feeling about those documents, suddenly remember those eyes of his brother on funeral.

One by one he read it when a footstep can be heard in his back and next by the cold voice of his brother.

'' What are you doing here?'' Sasuke said

'' Why -'' he looked back at the  papers on the study table. But he hasn't finished what he had to say when Sasuke spoke and answered the question he can't bare to ask.

'' I'm looking for the person who cause  of the accident'' Sasuke said and start walking toward to him, taking all the paper and put it all the drawer.

''Why do you have to look for him?''

''To collect a debt'' Sasuke's tone is very serious yet Itachi felt so much fears on his words.

"Sasuke-''

No word can come out on his mouth when he saw those kind of eyes to his younger brother. Those dark eyes of so much resentment, anger and sorrow. Because at that time, he didn't know if the guy  in front of him was still his brother. The days passed and Sasuke continue what his doing and Itachi can't barely stand to his foolish brother to throw his life. So he decided stop to go to University and start to do a work, always pursue his brother to go back to his school.

And thanks for so many attempt, one day Sasuke finally open his self again to him and ask him to transfer to different school.

Day by day Sasuke's life become more bright, because of his new friends and one day the smile he miss so much from his brother back again and because of the pink haired girl.

A tired shoulder of Itachi landed on the soft sofa. Those past make him more stress but those things Sasori's tell him make his brain hurt like it's cracking on a pieces.

____

''T-teme!!!!! ''

Sasuke grimace, those word and voice have only one owner.

'' Hm'' he groan, seeing those loud yellow dobe on this early on the morning, Sasuke's felt like he's so unlucky today.

The orange haired guy who still not stop waving his hand even it's already near him. '' What do you want? '' Sasuke said. He really want to smash those bag on his shoulder to the face of those yellow haired guy that have those big smile on his face.

'' Hehehe'' Naruto only smile and because of that the bag he that hang on his shoulder landed on the whiskey face of his friend.

PLOP!

'' Hey theme! What that for?! '' Naruto patting his nose that already turn like Rudolph.

" Cause your so smiling''

" Just because of that, you smashing my nose! '' Naruto rage grip swing towards to the young Uchiha but too bad, Sasuke's flexible body and his agility is too good for the fox yellow haired guy.

'' Damn you Sasuke! Don't dodge it! Can I hit your face even just once! '' Naruto added, and still continue his useless attack.

'' in your dreams'' Sasuke's smirk.

Those nonstop attack make Naruto energy drain. Waving his hand and said '' I give up''

"Good'' then turn his back and continue his journey to the school. Naruto who already catch up to him, make another a grin smile. '' That's tell me already what do you want'' Sasuke added

'' Hehe Teme, I saw you last night ''

'' hm? ''

'' You and Sakura'' The silly smile that draw on Naruto's lips bigger and bigger.

'' So what? ''

''So you don't deny it? ''

'' Why should I? '' Sasuke straightforward words make Naruto choke on his own saliva .

With out a warning Naruto block his body in front of the Uchiha who still have poker face. '' W-wait wait! So you really together last night? ''

'' I thought you see us? Why you don't sure about that? '' Sasuke said

'' O-oh, well-'' putting down his both hand in his side '' - actually, I didn't see you, I just want to see if the rumors is really true''

Sasuke eye immediately narrow '' What about that rumors? ''
