I tried (Itachi Fanfic)

Chapter 13

I managed to limp back to the house and then normally walk again to my house. I then heard someone calling my name.

"Itachi!! Help!!"

I looked around to see who was calling me and it was Sasuke and Gaara.

There was a masked ninja who was beating them to a pulp.

"What do you think you're doing?!" I yelled.

"Oh. Would you rather have me beat you instead?" asked the ninja.

"If it isn't them" I said with hesitation.

The guy rushed behind me and punched me as I cried out in pain.

"Niisan!"

"Get our of here" I said.

I managed to trip the guy and I tried to run but the guy rushed up to me and beat me even more.

Eventually, someone could hear my screams of pain. It was father.

He managed to kill the guy quickly, but didn't help me up.

"You let an easy opponent like that defeat you? Idiot. That isn't the son I raised" he said.

He put his foot on my head, restraining me from moving.

After I headed home, mother walked into my room.

"Itachi..."

"Your father is ill tempered, I know. It's a disability. He can't control it sweetheart. I'm sorry" she said.

I walked over to my door and looked back at her. I shrugged and headed out of the house.

I wish I could die. I would live an afterlife of peace. The two brothers I need to care for and my horrible father.

I then heard a noise from a bush nearby. Someone was crying.

I looked around and I saw the person. It was Sai.

"Sai what's wrong?" I asked.

Sai said nothing. He sobbed into my chest and I slowly hugged him. I stroked his hair, as Shisui would do to me.

"Itachi?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you ever wish you could die?" he asked.

I quickly bent down so I could reach his height.

"Yes. But you shouldn't. You are an incredibly talented and sweet kid" I said.

"B-but I have no one" he sobbed.

This poor kid. He's probably exhausted from his suffering.

I then heard the Leaf police running towards the Uchiha Clan base.

Both of us wiped tears from our eyes as we headed over to one of the ninja.

"Who is it? What happened?" I asked.

The guy hesitated.

"Itachi. I don't know how to say this..."

"It's Shisui."

My heart sunk. I felt like I was going to die.

I fell to my knees.

"SHISUI!!"

I sobbed as I yearned for him to comfort me now.

Tears streamed from my eyes as the ninja patted my back.

"There's no way!" I said.

I ran over to his house where it was blocked from any entry.

"Itachi. You don't want to go in there" said my mother.

I ignored her.

I walked in and headed into his room. There Shisui lay. Stabbed by 14 Kunai, in a pool of blood.

"NO SHISUI!" I screamed.

My body gave in. I was having a mental breakdown.

I lay next to him and hugged him.

"He's Not dead...." I mumbles.

"He's not dead."

"He's not dead."
