Life sucked. You were sure God had a grudge against you. Why? You were an Uchiha that hasn't unlocked the sharingan. You were already 12 and no signs of the sharingan. Your father and mother didn't really care, they were just happy nothing traumatized you yet. But because you haven't unlocked the sharingan most of the Uchiha clan didn't like you and class peers would bully you.

After walking home from school, the regular bullies jumped on you and took anything valuable you had. They called you name and kicked you. After they had stopped you ran into the forest to cry. You knew it was selfish to wish to unlock the sharingan. The only people you cared about were your parents. Something bad would have to happen to them for you to unlock your sharingan and you knew that. After crying for hours you fell asleep on a tree in the middle of the forest. Time passed and you were awoken by somebody poking you in the cheek with a stick.

You let out a groan and opened your eyes to meet a kid with black hair and black eyes and a blue shirt. He looked about 6.

" Hey miss are you dead?" The kid asked.

" N-no I'm fine!" You said swatting away the stick from you face. " Who are you?"

" I'm Sasuke Uchiha." The kid replied. " Who are you?"

" y/n Uchiha." You said.

" Your a Uchiha too? Can I see your sharingan?!?" Sasuke asked.

A sudden burst of sadness filled your entire body. Unwillingly, you bursted into tears. Sasuke panicked at your reaction.

" I-I don't have.... *sob* a sharingan..." you cried out. You crying cane to a halt when you felt a pat on your head. You looked at Sasuke confusingly.

" Don't cry...You look ugly when you cry." Sasuke said, looking away from your eyes.

You burst into laughter at Sasuke's words. " You don't tell a girl that! Your going to get a good beaten if you do." Sasuke blushed and pouted his cheeks at his mistake.

" So what are you doing in the forest?" You asked. " I'm training by myself. Nii-San doesn't have time for me anymore." Sasuke relied back slightly upset.

" Hey, I'm not the best but I could help if you want..." you offered. Sasuke's eyes instantly lit up.

Before you knew it a few hours had passed by training with Sasuke. You teased him a lot which would end up with a pouty Sasuke which you loved. You and Sasuke joked around and one or the other would get offended or defensive by a joke. You would also talk about your family and Sasuke loved to talk about his older brother.

As the sun had to rest, the moon crept up to show its beautiful stars and just like that it was finally time for Sasuke to leave and you bid him farewell . This encounter would eventually become an everyday thing. You and Sasuke would meet up and train, talk and play around.

Of course Itachi would notice Sasuke's sudden change in behavior. Sasuke would quickly eat his lunch and rush off, as if too met someone, which he was but he didn't know that: Sasuke would be more happy but tired when he got home. He learned Jutsus that he hasn't been taught yet. Itachi being curious and worried about his little brother decided to follow him.

He watched as Sasuke took big bites of his food and quickly swallow, occasionally he would choke on his food. Finally Sasuke finished and jumped out of his seat and rushed out the door saying goodbye to Itachi and his mother. Itachi bid his mother goodbye and followed Sasuke carefully, not wanting to be caught. He followed Sasuke as he entered the woods. Sasuke suddenly stopped and sat down by a tree. Itachi watched confused. He was wondering why his brother was sitting down. His questions stopped when he sensed another chakra. He watched a girl his age greet Sasuke. He listened to them talk. Soon enough they started to train.

Itachi felt at ease his brother was okay and headed home and decided to talk to Sasuke about it when he gets home.

Time flies by once again and you and Sasuke part ways. Sasuke enters his home exhausted and heads to his room only to be met with Itachi in his bed reading a book.

" Nii-San??"

" Sasuke. Who's that girl your with?" Itachi asked bluntly. Sasuke's face turns red. " Whaaaa!!!! How do you know about her! Are you spying on me nii-San?"

" I was just curious about your whereabouts Sasuke. Now answer the question."

" Her name is y/n Uchiha. She's a friend. She trains me."

" Uchiha?"

" yup, but she's not like the others! She doesn't have a sharingan!" Sasuke said. Itachi was shocked by his words. A Uchiha with no sharingan was unheard of.

" Well it looks like I have to join you in your next training session."

" Noooo!!! Your going to have her all to yourself!" Sasuke pouted.

" what do you mean by that?" Itachi asked.

" Your going to take her away from me! Soon she won't be able to train with me anymore and I'll be left training by myself again..." Sasuke answered.

" I won't snatch her away from you little brother.... it's getting late. Rest well." Itachi said, before poking Sasuke in the forehead and leaving Sasuke to rest.

The next day arrives and Itachi follows Sasuke again.

" Nii-San, dont do anything weird or say something to embarrass me." Sasuke said.

" Of course. Don't worry." Itachi said. Sasuke and Itachi arrive at the meeting place and wait for a few moments before you arrive.

" Oi! Munchkin!" You called out. Sasuke's face reddens with embarrassment. " Dont call me that snotty face!" Sasuke yells back. You smack Sasuke on the tip of his head. " Watch your mouth kid! Wh— Oh hi!" You said noticing Itachi. You pull Sasuke to the side and whisper in his ear. " Who's the dude? Is he your brother? You two look alike." Sasuke whispers back, " he's Itachi, my brother ."

You look back at Itachi, Itachi looks back nervously.

"So your the famous Itachi I keep hearing about from Sasuke! He talks about you non stop ya know!Itachi this, Itachi that. Sasuke sure does lo— Owwww!!!" You yell out in pain. Sasuke had kicked you in the leg.

" What was that for!" You yell. Sasuke only pouts and looks away. " Fine dont tell me! Let's start training..."

As Sasuke was practicing throwing kunai, you and Itachi sat next to each other with awkward silence surrounding you both.

" S-So ummm how was your day?" You asked.

" Fine." Itachi replied, " How was yours?"

" It's going pretty good...." You fidget with your hands but stop when Itachi speaks up again. " I heard from Sasuke your an Uchiha with no Sharingan. Is it nice?"

You stayed silent thinking of an answer. " well... it depends. It's nice not to have to go through anything tragic, you still get to be your happy self. But.... I get bullied a lot for not having the sharingan...A-and I hate it..." tears were silently falling down your face, your lip quivering. As you raise your hand to wipe the tears it gets pulled down and another hand wipes the tears away. The hand belonged to no other than Itachi.

Itachi gave you a small closed eyed smile that warmed your heart. " Don't cry. I don't want to see you sad. I'll walk you to and from school so you don't get bullied." You give a small nod at his words and blush when you notice how close you both were. His nose was a mere centimeters away from yours.

Suddenly Itachi was whacked in the head by Sasuke. " Stay away from her you pervert!"

" I'm not a pervert little brother!!" Itachi yelled back, clearly embarrassed. You laughed at their antics.

True to his word Itachi walked you to and from school. Everyday your friendship grew stronger and stronger and without noticing both of you had fallen in love.

You loved how caring of a person he was. How he always put your needs before his. Your cold? He gives you his hat, scarf, gloves, coat, you name it. You loved how much he truly cared for his brother. You found it adorable.

Itachi had fallen for you for so many reasons. You were strong. You were sweet but could easily turn into a war raging god. He loved how you smiled even though your going through rough times. He absolutely loved how much you cared for his little brother. He couldn't have wished to have fallen for any other woman.

But alas life doesn't go as planned.....

Itachi had been distancing himself from you and Sasuke and you were both worried about him. You knew Itachi would carry someone's burden if it would make them happy. Each time you confronted or even talked to him he always gave short replies before leaving claiming he had a mission to do for the Anbu. You never knew why he tried to keep distance from you until the tragic night happened.

You had woken up in a cold sweat. Tears and sweat rolling down your face. Your breathing unstable. Your heart thumping rapidly. You just had a nightmare. You had a dream where everybody left you because you weren't able to unlock the sharingan, even your parents had left you. It was constant nightmare that could show up every now and then. You were so self conscious about you inability to unlock the Sharingan, it even plagued your dreams.

You calmed your breathing and closed your eyes trying to forget about the nightmare. Reassuring yourself that your parents loved you no matter what. Right when you calmed down a loud ear piercing scream was heard. You didn't know wether to hide or help. Deciding to make sure your parents are okay you ran down to your parents bedroom only to see their room had already had been open. You slowly walked over and screamed. Your parents were lying on the ground. Blood surroundings their bodies. They were pierced with a sword. Not only were you filled with grief but terror as well . The killer was still there, standing on top of their corpses, their back facing you.

"Do you hate me?" The stranger asked. You didn't respond. Your knees were shaking, willing to give out any minute.Your eyes were burning and the pain was more than you could handle. Your mouth wouldn't utter a single sound. The pain in your chest was unbearable.

" Do you despise me? Do you hate me with every fiber in your body? Do you y/n?" The voice said again, but this time turning around to face you.

A number of emotions overwhelmed your body, making your eyes hurt even more.shock, betrayal, confusion, anger, sadness and many more emotions consumed your entire body. Why would he do this? You and him were friends after all. You even loved him. You loved Itachi. So why would he do this to you.

" W-why? HOW COULD YOU!!" You screamed. Without even thinking you ran up to him and slapped him across the face. He didn't stop you. Your fists would hit his chest weakly. You were to upset to even hurt him.

All that was heard in the room was the constant quiet and broken down why's from you.

" why..... why..... why..... why.... WHY?! WHAT WAS THE REASON!"

Without a moments hesitation he replied coldly, " To test the limits of my own abilities." Your eyes widen at his words. Anger seething through your veins.

" To test the limits of your own abilities?! BULLSHIT!!!" You screamed. " why? I know how you are Itachi. What burden are you carrying this time...."

With those words Itachi broke down. He tried his hardest to keep a stoic face on, but he couldn't. Instantly Itachi's eyes fill with tears. He pulls you in and buries his face between your neck. You felt his tears stain your shirt and trickle down your back.

" I-I'm Sorry... I'm soooo.... sorry." Itachi whispered out. You comforted him. " Tell me what's wrong. I'm here for you."

And just like that Itachi told you everything. The Uchiha Coup D'etat and the Hokage's and the three elders solution.

" Itachi...."

" Y/n, can you do me one last favor?"

You simply nodded. " Take care of Sasuke for me. I know I won't be able to kill him, like I'm unable to kill you. So please take care of him. Protect him from Danzo."

" Of course, but I'm not that strong. I dont think I can protect him from Danzo...."

Itachi grabbed your cheek and looked you into your eyes. " Yes you can, you unlocked the sharingan as well as the Mangekyo Sharingan....a-and I'm sorry for all the emotional pain your going to go through."

You have finally gained the sharingan like you always wished but at what cost? Your parents death. The clan death. The person you loved dearly leaving you and leaving you to care for his brother. How you wished you could tell your younger self to enjoy life and be grateful. Because as crazy as life is.... you don't know when everything can be taken away from you.

Itachi gestured for you to come forward and you did, only for him to put his finger on your forehead and flick you gently. After that he walked away from you and your home and to continue to carry the burden he had been given.

Unexpectedly you rushed after him. You stopped him by holding his hand. He looked down at you confused. With every bit of courage you yanked him down and kissed him on the lips. Before he had time to react you pulled away and gave him one last closed eye smile and and said to him, words that he would never forget,

" I love you."
