Izuna Uchiha [Part 03]
This is where the two of them embarked on their own separate journeys in life. He continued to be home schooled until he was ready to attend one of the local Private Schools for the snobbishly rich, facing the same hostility from the other students when he arrived. While his looks hasn't reached the feminine peak by the time he started, he was still considered an outsider, taunted with stereotypical jokes about his race. The insults never really bothered him as much as they were just annoying, waiting for them to get bored and move onto the next victim. When he ran away the first time, it was not because of troubles at school or at home, it was simply that he desperately missed his brother. Izuna never expected them to catch him as quickly as they did, hoping it would be a good week before they noticed he was missing. They must have had GPS installed somewhere on his body or something because within a day, there was one of their assistants picking him up from a bus station or the airport. Even hitchhiking didn't get him far as they got him doing that as well. That was the only time he could remember his father addressing him directly, threatening to severe all contact that he had with Madara if he didn't learn his place. That quickly put him back in his place, agreeing that he wouldn't do it again. Promised even.

Contact with Madara was all he cared about, what kept him going through without having his best friend close by. Since the day he had left, the two were exchanging letters frequently. It was just your usual stuff about what sucked, what didn't. Nothing out of the ordinary at all. That was until the day he received that letter. What he was telling him, Izuna didn't fully understand but he knew what he was talking about. Just a year shy of breaking into the teenage years, he shouldn't have known anything about these vulgar words that were used but Americans were much more open about talking about sex, overhearing the Seniors and others his age talking about it. Usually he would shut himself off to it and focus on something else except the same word his brother had used came up a few times in conversations so he listened in harder. A whore. Someone who multiple sexual partners for money. His brother had become that. He wished he could have answered him sooner but the shock hit him pretty hard, not knowing what he could say to something like that. Almost a month later he had wrote his reply, no big long letter like he had been used to sending to him, just a single line to let him know what his felt about the confession.

"You're my brother, and I love you no matter what you are."

Then a second letter the day later with another single line of "PS. I won't tell Dad."

Madara would never have turned his back on him so Izuna was not going to turn him away when he needed it. It was decided that he had to get him out of that school, no matter what. Screw the repercussions. This time he was much older and wiser, and with the help of Madara, they formulated a plot to break him out. So there would be no funds touched from their accounts, Madara sent him money that he made from his... extra curricular activities in small amounts so it would go through undetected. Using this money, he would be able to sneak his way out without leaving a trail to be traced, getting to the school before anyone could notice him gone and then the breakout mission would be complete. There was no talk about what they were going to do after that, that was a minor detail they had to work out. Gradually the funds built up, coming closer to the marked date for Izuna to make his move when he got another letter. This one didn't contain money. Another confession but this was not what Madara had done but what was done to him. It was a risk to run off now but there was no time to waste, getting onto the first bus that he could get, this time successfully making it to the boarding school but the damage was done.
