"Nii san! Why can't I come into work with you! I promise I will be good!" The 5 year old raven pleaded too his older brother. "Because you're not old enough Sasuke. Maybe some other time." Itachi smiled at his younger brother, who just pouted and sighed. Sasuke was always curious what his older brother did at work. Sometimes when Sasuke was waiting for his brother to come home he would have blood splattered all over his shirt. This made Sasuke even more curious to what Itachi did. "Fine..." The young raven shoved his hands into his pockets and headed outside. He watched as his brother drove towards his work. "Stupid Nii san..." Kicking a stone, the Uchiha walked towards a nearby shop. "I hate him..." Sasuke read the top of the sign. Though Sasuke couldn't read too well, He was better than most children at his age. "P....et sho..p" Sasuke assumed this was the right place and opened the door. Even though the raven was bitter to most things in life, he loved and cared for one thing in his life. It was a puppy named itonami. "Just these please." Sasuke placed the treats on the counter and waited for a price. "¥300 please" The women smiled softly at the raven as he handed over the money and took the goods. "See you tomorrow Sasuke san!" The shopkeeper waved but Sasuke gave no response.

When Sasuke finally got home he opened the back gate "Itonami!" he called, waiting for a familiar bark. "Itonami! I bought you treats!" Sasuke heard no bark. No sound at all. "Jeez...I bet Itachi left the gate open and she ran away..." He walked along the path and stopped. His eyes were wide as he stood in shock. "Itonami! Please! Don't leave me!" What Sasuke saw was unbearable. Most 5 year old children would have someone to pity them, but for Sasuke, he had no one. Even though he lived with his family. He still felt alone since they worked all the time. "Itonami..." Sasuke cradled the dog in his arms. It was obvious someone had killed his dog on purpose since there was a long cut along her throat. "I-Ito...nami...."

12 years later

"Knocking...Who the hell is knocking so loudly...' Onyx orbs opened slightly as Sasuke saw a figure above him. "Get the fuck out!" Sasuke screamed and through a pillow at the older raven. "Now now Sasuke. I came in to cheer you up a little" A smirk spread across Itachi's face, sending a chill down Sasuke's spine. "I have come to offer you a job at the Akatsuki inc." Sasuke looked at his brother hoping he wasn't being a sarcastic prick. "You're kidding right?" Sasuke's eyebrows furrowed "Would I? Well if you want it, you start tomorrow Sasuke-Chan" With that, Itachi left the gloomy room closing the door behind him. "Maybe...This will be good for me..." Sasuke looked at the watch on his right wrist. It was almost falling off because he had lost a lot of weight in the past few months. "Shit...6 already?!" Sasuke jumped off of his small bed and sighed. "I guess Karin will be pissed at me...Oh well"

At Itachi's work

"Sorry about being late...Did I miss much?" Itachi slipped on his white lab coat and headed into a white room. "Oh Itachi. You're back already. Well actually I'm almost done" The red haired man smiled and sat back in his chair. "So how's no. 9 doing with volts?" Itachi looked through the glass window, looking at a young blonde teen who panted. He was stained in blood and was naked. "Excellent. Our experiment is going as planned Sasori. You can have a break. I need a word with the biju...." Sasori's eyes widened. "You sure? He could harm you Itachi!" Itachi placed a hand on the red heads shoulder to calm him down. "No need to worry...I just have to inform him of something" Understanding Itachi's request, Sasori walked out of the lab. When all was quiet, Itachi walked into the white room, stained with old and fresh blood. "Hello Nine tails...." Itachi stood above the injured Biju and smiled. "I will not be testing you anymore" Azure eyes lit up and a smile crept on the blondes lips. That was until he heard the next words. "My little brother will be...So be a good little Biju and don't even try and kill him else you'll be very sorry" Itachi ran a hand over the blonds cheek. "Uzumaki Naruto...." Itachi smirked and unshackled the blonde.

At Sasuke's house

"Geez...Karin is so stupid..." Sasuke threw his phone on his bed. When he met Karin earlier she was furious with him. "Why can't every one just leave me the fuck alone?!" Sasuke looked at himself in the mirror and gritted his teeth. Sasuke threw a fist at mirror, glass shattered into tiny pieces. "Sasuke? What was that? You better not have broken anything." He hadn't even remembered that his brother had come home early today. "D-Don't worry, I just knocked something over." Sasuke looked down at his blood covered hand. 'Damn...' Sasuke ran cold water over the cut, the water turned red and stained the sink.

7 o'clock the next day

"Sasu-Chan?" Cold fingers ran over the younger ravens jaw line making him groan. "Go away Itachi..." Onyx eyes were still closed and Sasuke's brain was switched off. "Wake the hell up!" Itachi shook the younger Uchiha and smirked. "Fuck you..." Sasuke sat up and opened his dark orbs. He glared at Itachi forcing the older raven to vacate the room. "We're leaving in ten minutes Sasuke!" Sasuke listened to the sound of footsteps which faded as Itachi made his way downstairs. "Today...I get to see what Itachi has been hiding for all these years..." Sasuke smirked to himself. "At least this will cheer me up a little" Sasuke threw his shirt off and onto the floor along with his shorts and boxers. He looked down at his bandaged hand. Blood had seeped through the bandage and began to drip onto the carpet. "I better re bandage this..."

Ten minutes later Sasuke was showered dressed and had re bandaged his hand. "Late as always little brother..." Itachi's lips curled into a wide smirk as he saw the annoyance in his brothers eyes. "Hn. Lets just go already..." Sasuke ran a hand through his dark locks and sighed. He followed Itachi out to his car, he didn't show it, but inside he was slightly excited about starting work at Akatsuki inc. They both got in the car, Itachi drove of course and Sasuke sat in the passenger seat annoyed. "Sasuke...I want you to listen carefully..." Itachi started the car and reversed. "When we get into the building of Akatsuki inc. Be prepared for what you will see okay?" Itachi didn't take his eyes off the long straight road as they headed toward work. "Whatever..." Sasuke didn't really take what Itachi had said to heart, he never really did. But that was just how Sasuke acted. "I mean it Sasuke...You've wanted to come here for a long time...But this place is most probably a lot different than you imagined" Sasuke saw the tall sleek building ahead. "Ready?" Sasuke nodded and waited for Itachi to park the car. As he did Sasuke heard a faint scream in the distance. It sounded like a helpless boy crying. "C'mon Sasuke..." Itachi walked into the building hoping Sasuke would follow. They walked over to a nearby lift where a soldier with a rifle in his hand waited outside. "Mr Uchiha..." The man bowed toward the raven and smiled. "Ohayo" Sasuke entered the small booth and pressed the button which read 9. Sasuke had assumed that floor 9 must have been the top floor since that was the highest number on the pad of buttons. "Nii-san...What do you do here?" Sasuke was hoping for an answer, but the lift was once again filled with silence. A quiet 'bing' was heard and the doors slowly revealed Sasuke's new office. "Do you like it?" The older raven stepped out of the lift and smiled. Sasuke also walked out, acting like a curious animal. "Well..." Looking around, Sasuke spotted the room behind the thick glass. "I'm giving this department to you little brother..." Itachi sat in the leather chair which sat behind a wooden desk. "Oh I also have another little present for you..." Itachi walked into the room which had caught Sasuke's curiosity. "What the-" When Sasuke entered the room the air was full of blood, it made him feel sick. He looked at the dry pools of blood on the floor, which made him almost throw up , but he tried to stay clam. "Here's your present." Itachi pointed to a large metal cage which had a sign that read no. 9. "A cage?" Sasuke was now even more curious than ever. "Oh no Sasuke your present is in the cage" Itachi searched his through his pocket for a key. When he finally retrieved it he stuffed it in the locked and twisted. "No.9? Greet you're new owner..." A young, thin tanned boy looked up at the older raven. His eyes were a deep red and he looked suspicious when he smirked at Itachi. "Remember what I told you...Hurt us and I'll make our research much more worse you Biju...." Itachi growled as the boy crawled out of the cage. When he stood up fully Sasuke saw the boys full appearance. The boy had, what seemed like dirty blonde hair and tanned skin. The last thing Sasuke noticed was the ears and tail he had. 'W-What is he?!' Sasuke's eyes widened. "Listen Sasuke....A meeting will be arranged at 12 o'clock today on floor 2... Be there on time." With that, Itachi left the two males alone. "Uchiha?" The red look in the blonds eyes and the fangs had disappeared, he looked harmless and normal, apart from the ears and tail. "What are...you?" Sasuke could feel his heart rate speed up. "Biju....There are only 9 of us in the world...." The blonde glanced at Sasuke then sat in the corner of the blood stained room. "I'm the strongest one out of all of us....Nine tails....Itachi...He just doesn't understand what we are....how we can't be killed easily..." The kitsune crawled back over to the raven. "What does Itachi do to you..." Sasuke stated bluntly. "He tests us....See these..." Naruto held his wrists towards the ravens face. They were stained with blood and he had scars all over them. "He chains us up and sees how much pain we can withstand and how powerful we are..." The boys azure eyes crept over the the cage. "I could kill you....Uchiha....Right now without you even noticing..." Naruto stood up and smirked. "But I wont since Itachi would end my life." Sasuke just stared at every movement the blonde made.
