~*Evolve or Die: Chapter 1: Itachi's Life*~

He was lead down this huge white hallway. The lights on the ceiling were so bright, his eyes hurt. Panting heavily, he tried to keep stride with his father, who had his small hand in a firm grip. Six of his strides were one of his father's. He tried to keep the exhaustion off his face the best he could. They finally came to a stop in front of a huge wooden door. His father opened the door and they walked in. As soon as they crossed the threshold of the door, his ears were met with the most horrible sound. The piercing sound made his ears ring and a pain form in between his eyes.

He was bought out of his musings when his father picked him up and set him on his hip. From this height, he could get a good view of the room. The place was just as white as the hallway. There was a window with thick plastic looking curtains. There was another door on the wall to the left, next to the door they just walked through. On the other side of the room was a bed that held his mother. Around the bed were all this weird looking things that beeped and made strange noises and an uncomfortable looking plastic chair.

His father hurriedly walked up to the bed his mother was laying in. His head cocked slightly when he saw that she was holding a ball of blankets in her arms like only her chest was cold. His father set him down on the bed beside his mother gently.

She looked up at him and smiled, "Itachi, meet your new little brother. Sasuke."

She tilted the now moving, ball of blankets down so he could get a better look. There was this red wrinkly thing wrapped in the covers. It was still wailing, which made his head hurt worse since he was closer. Toothless gums were on full display. Tears streamed down the baby's chubby face as his tightly closed fists and tiny tongue shook with the force of his cries.

Itachi scold. He poked the baby in his cheek lightly. "You're loud and making my head hurt. Be quiet."

Miraculously, the baby stopped wailing and simmered down to quick sobs. He turned his head in the direction of the finger digging into his cheek.

Itachi pulled his finger back and gave a quick nod. "Better."

Sasuke giggled and waved his tiny hand in Itachi's direction animatedly.

"Look at that. He loves big brother already." Mikoto giggled lightly

Fugaku looked down at his family with pride. He placed his large hand down on Itachi's small head and ruffled his hair affectionately. Itachi looked up at his father. "This is your little brother Itachi. It's your responsibility to look after him now. Can I trust that you will always look after him?"

Itachi nodded his head strongly, which made his father's hand slide over his eyes.

"That's my boy." Fugaku leaned down and placed a kiss on the top of Itachi's head and then Sasuke's and ended with a kiss in Mikoto's cheek.

A two year old Sasuke stumbled after a bright blue ball happily. The ball stopped rolling when it hit a particularly tall patch of grass. Sasuke bent down and picked up the ball.

"Chi-Chi! Ah gwot dit! Ah gwot dit!" Sasuke laughed as he ran back to Itachi with the ball held tightly in his hands.

A nine year old Itachi had his arms opened wide as Sasuke ran into him. He quickly wrapped his arms around Sasuke. "Nice job little brother."

Mikoto opened up the sliding door that lead to the back yard, quickly drying her hands with the bottom of her apron. "Itachi, bring Sasuke in. It's time for lunch."

Itachi called back. "Here we come mother." Itachi stood and held his hand out for Sasuke. "Come on. It's time for your to eat and lay down for your nap."

Sasuke's bottom lip trembled as his head lowered and he held onto the ball tighter. Tears appeared in the corner of his eyes. "Ah wanna plah wid Chi-Chi sum morh. Ah no wanna goh to sweep. Not sweepy."

"How about this," Itachi retracted his hand and kneeled down in front of Sasuke. "After your nap, we can do anything you want to do."

Sasuke looked up at Itachi through his eyelashes skeptically. "Anyding?" Itachi nodded. "Eben plah ninjuh in dah parhk?"

Itachi chuckled. "Yes, even play ninja in the park."

"Yaaaaaaaay! Ninjuh! Ninjuh! Ninjuh!" Sasuke bounced with joy.

"But."

Sasuke stopped and looked up at his big brother.

"You have to take your nap first."

Sasuke scrunched up his face in dislike. "Okwah."

Itachi held his hand out again. "Now let's go eat."

Sasuke grabbed the hand offered gladly. He dropped the ball and walked into the house with his big brother.

His entire body was numb.

He could not comprehend what was just told to him. It felt as though the world was collapsing around him and trying to fit all the debris in his throat. His eyes were hot with unshed tears. His cheeks burned with the effort to not cry. Despite his face feeling so hot, the rest of him was so cold. His thick winter pajamas did nothing to fight off the shivers that held a relay race through his limbs.

His legs felt weak. God they were so weak. At any moment, they just might give up trying to keep him standing. No fourteen year old should have to hear this. Hear about the death of their parents.

Some read headed lady, dressed in a suit with a briefcase, rang the doorbell to his house at ten o'clock in the night. Thinking his father forgot his keys again, he answered to this. To this news. This horrible news.

He couldn't take it. He dropped down into a squat. He placed his face into his hands and rested them on his knees. His body shook hard. Just as he was about to let out a sob, he heard his name being called by Sasuke.

'Oh god. Sasuke.. This is going to kill him." Itachi thought.

With an idea in his head, Itachi stood up and looked toward the stairs. Sasuke stood there rubbing his eyes with one hand. In the other hands, was his favorite Avengers blanket and stuffed chibi Batman.

"Is mommy and daddy back yet? Mommy promised she would be back in time for my goodnight kiss."

Itachi went over to Sasuke and picked him up. Sasuke laid his head on Itachi's shoulder and cuddled his Batman closer. For a seven year old, he was still kind of small. "Mother and father are going to be gone for a little while longer."

Sasuke lifted his head up so fast he almost hit his head on Itachi's chin. "Why? Where are they?"

Itachi placed his hand on the back of Sasuke's head and eased his head back onto his shoulder. "They're on a top secret mission. You know how I'm so good at ninja?" Sasuke nodded. "Well, I learned from them. They taught me. The Avengers asked for their help trying to save the world."

"Really?"

"Yup. But, you have to keep it a secret. Okay?"

Sasuke yawned as he drifted off to sleep. "Okaahhh…"

Itachi turned toward the lady and glared. "NO ONE tells him anything. We are not going to the funeral."

The lady nodded in agreement.

Itachi and Sasuke have been staying with their EXTREMELY distant uncle, Obito Uchiha, on their father's side for a month now. He lived in a small two bedroom apartment in the suburbs about ten minutes away from their old house. The kitchen and living room were all in the same room. The bedrooms and bathroom all shared a wall, with the bathroom in the middle of the two.

He didn't like the man. He gave him the creeps. He was constantly watching everything he did and touching him unnecessarily. He was one more pet on the head from punching the fucker in the gut.

Itachi had just finished taking a shower and was heading toward the room he shared with Sasuke. He was clad in his Tom & Jerry boxers that Sasuke bought for his birthday last year. Using one had to rub the towel over his hair; he opened the door to his room. He stopped dead in his tracks when he laid eyes on the bed he shares.

There, standing over his little brother, was Obito, jerking off by Sasuke's sleeping form. The man had already came because there was jizz dripping down Sasuke's face.

Shocked out of his trance, Itachi stormed quietly over to the man and yanked the man away from his little brother.

Obito, who came down from his orgasm the moment he was yanked, glared at Itachi. He grabbed the teen by the throat and pushed him out the room, closing the door behind him.

Itachi struggled to breath. He clawed at the strong hand around his neck.

Once the door was closed and they were a safe distance from the sleeping boy, Obito threw Itachi on the ground.

Itachi coughed as oxygen whooshed back into his starved lungs. "What the fuck were you doing to my little brother?" Itachi panted heavily as he writhed on the floor.

"You two are lucky I took your asses in. If I hadn't, your ass would be in a group home and the kid in a foster home. It's 'cause of me that you're still together. You bastards owe me something."

He kicked Itachi in the stomach with enough force to flip the boy over onto his knees. Itachi balled up and held onto his stomach. He dry heaved so hard it felt as if his stomach would tear in half.

"Since I can't get shit from the boy," Obito grabbed the hem of Itachi's boxers and pulled them down.

Itachi's body tensed up instantly when cold air drifted over his exposed bottom. As soon as he was about to voice his disagreement, a hand covered his mouth.

"Imma get it all from you." With those words, Obito shoved two fingers up Itachi's ass roughly.

Itachi's scream of pain was muffled by the hand. Tears streamed down his eyes and onto the hand.

"You tell no one of this. You both are dirty and disgusting. No one of this world will want you after this. It's either you or your wittle bwother. Do you understand me?"

Itachi slowly nodded.

"Good. Go clean up the boy and come back into my room. You have five minutes." With that Obito, removed both his hands from their respective orifice and walked into his room, stripping as he went.

Itachi laid there for a minute and wondered what he did to deserve this.

Sorry I have been MIA. But I'm back now. Hopefully for good. I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I am also looking for a beta. Inbox if you think you might want the job. See you next chapter!
