CHAPTER ONE
"i've always lied. i used these hands to push you far, far away from the truth….. i did not want you to get involved. now i realize i only succeeded in sparking the fire of hate into your heart, soon plaguing every cell in your body...i failed you little brother, and speaking to you now like this will tell you nothing. that is why i will show you the truth."
itachi stopped for a moment and closed his eyes.
"remember sasuke, you never have to forgive me for what i've put you through."
a smile formed upon itachi's face.
"…and no matter what happens...i will always….love you."
a bright light cascaded around the siblings, blinding sasuke from the view of his older brother itachi. in pain he shut his eyes instantly and raised his arm searching for his brother. he swung blindly into the space, where only moments ago, itachi had stood inches away.
lids closed, sasuke noticed the bright light was slowly dimming. he was impatient, wanting the light to cease its pointless bright. he needed to find his brother, he needed his broth-…
"…tch."
stubbornly, sasuke held his lids closed a couple of minutes after the light had gone. slowly he opened his onyx eyes and blinked…he blinked again.
sasuke was laying in a bed, in a room he's never seen before.
siting up sasuke studied the room. a chair and a desk were set in front of him and a closed door to the left of the furniture. glancing to his right, a window with blue curtains decorated the white wall. it was half open, letting the early morning breeze and the sounds of crickets enter. sasuke then heard an annoying tik-tok and found its origin; a simple black electrical clock, placed on top of a matching night stand on the right side of his bed, 4:58 am. sasuke just stared at it.
"…where…am i?" whispering to himself.
lifting his right arm sasuke noticed it was bandaged, from fingers to around his shoulder. when he uncovered himself from a blue comforter that wrapped his body, he found foreign scars, bruises and bandages that probably covered more imperfections. a noise distracted his view and sent his focus to the door. his sharingan activated and his eyes widened.
'i know this chakra.'
how can he forget it.
'where the fuck am i?'
the entity approached the door and when it creaked open, the dark figure appeared at the doorway.
"sasuke? you have awoken." the voice relieved to see him awake.
"…i-itachi." whispered the confused sasuke.
walking closer, itachi calmly began to talk.
"im glad to see that you are finally awake, that fight with the pink haired kunoichi took a toll on your body. when we found you, her poison had almost reached your heart."
itachi paused, now only a few feet away from sasuke.
"we were told if it had…the poison would quickly spread and i would have to bury my younger brother." sasuke heard a sigh escape. a sigh of relief.
"im glad little brother, that your alive." smiling, itachi then leaned into sasuke, close enough to where sasuke can easily see the stress lines on his face.
"itachi?" was all that sasuke could manage to say. itachi should have been dead, and now he's here in front of sasuke with a strong heart beat that could be easily seen with his sharingan.
itachi lifted his hand, sasuke still so confused, failed to notice his movements.
-tap-
itachi's fingers poked between the furrows of his eyebrows.
"i'm sorry sasuke, next time ill be there sooner. but please listen when i tell you never to stray too far off from our four man cell. regardless of your capability, we are still at war and one must never underestimate an opponent." itachi smirked the ever famous uchiha smirk.
-slap-
sasuke slapped his hand away with his own palm.
"what is this itachi?! where am i?! what happened to kabuto?! what is all this?!"
"…sasuke, what is the matter with you? you will wake the others. keep your voice down." itachi whispered loudly.
"don't tell me what to do itachi! one minute we were in a cave and you falling to pieces and next im in this bed, in this room, bruised, cut, bandaged! and i have no idea why!?"
"sasuke, are you feeling light headed? or maybe a headache?"
"cut the crap itachi! how is it that your still here?! you should have died when the justu was broken!" sasuke snarled.
"..died?...sasuke i think the poison has left you delusional or maybe…..our war has finally taken its toll on your psyche?"
itachi asked that last question to himself, placing his hand underneath his chin and focusing on the floor pensively.
"our war!? what war itachi!?" he spat out.
"yes brother...the civil war between the uchiha and konoha."
