Artificial Life
Prologue
By: SasukeKira
"Akia, when will he be finished?" Itachi says as he walks up to a glass case, looking inside it at what it contained. Inside a person with short black hair is suspended in a bluish liquid; hooked up to many different machines by many wires.
"Shortly, Itachi-san, he needs a few more days before he is able to wake. His body must be finished first." A short, pudgy man waddles over to where Itachi is. The man runs a thick-fingered hand through his short red hair. "He is progressing faster then I thought he would. He should be done by the time you wanted him to be."
"I need him ready soon; I have a deadline, Akia." Itachi puts his hand on the glass in front of him. "He must be perfect for my mother." He stares at the closed eyes of the person. "She needs this."
"Soon, Itachi-san, he just has a few more days for the animal DNA to kick in and he will be complete. He will be ready for Lady Uchiha soon." He types some on a computer in front of the case, and the person inside moves toward them. "The ears are already showing some, but the tail has yet to appear."
"How long will it be till both the tail and ears are fully developed?" Itachi drops his hand to his side and turns towards Akia.
A thoughtful expression passes over Akia's face as he opens his mouth to answer. "The ears should be in fully tomorrow but the tail should have shown by now. As soon as it shows it will take about three days to grow to its full length."
"When was the tail supposed to have shown?" He turned back to the container. "He looks beautiful." He mumbled to himself.
"He is the first of this type of cloning so it is unsure, but on animals their tails would come in before the ears." He types some more and the person turned around.
"What is that?" Itachi points to a bunch of white streaks running across the back of the person. Itachi leans closer to the glass to see the person better.
"I have no idea, that wasn't there when we ran the check-up on him about a half-hour ago." He types some more and the person started moving towards them again. "Kabuto, will you bring Orochimaru here for me."
"Of course I will, Akia-san." They heard the door open and close behind them as Akia started typing on the computer once more. A bunch of statistics started to appear on the case near the body.
A few seconds later they heard the door open again. "Akia what do you need me for?" they turned to see Orochimaru walking toward them.
"There is something white streaking across the back of the clone I am working on, I was wondering if you knew what it was or if you could help me find out." Orochimaru walked up to the case and stared at the lines for a few seconds before looking at the computer.
"His ears came in first." He mumbled aloud. He looked at the back again. "The tail… no can't be… but the…," he typed on the computer while different things appeared and disappeared on the case, his eyes glancing at each thing before it disappeared,"… that's not possible… the tail… but the ears…" He continued this for awhile before stopping. He turns to look at them, "I wouldn't worry Itachi-san it's just where his tail is appearing, the lines should leave in about a day." He turned to Akia. "It was a smart thing to call for me, Akia-kun, instead of trying to figure it out by yourself. Also this helped me understand something better."
"Of course, Orochimaru, I didn't want to tell Itachi-san the wrong thing." Itachi looks down at the watch on his wrist and straightened up.
"I must leave for a meeting with my father, I will expect him to be finished in five to six days, and I will come back then to pick him up." He walks over to the case again. "Incase he wakes while I am not here, his name is to be Sasuke." He puts his hand on the case and looks up at the face of the person inside. Looking back at him was a pair of pitch black eyes, soon after the eyes closed and the head slumped forward.
"We will remember to call him that, when he wakes. I will escort you out, Itachi-san." Orochimaru started walking to the door with Itachi. They soon get to the door of the building. "Have a good day, Itachi-san; we will look forward to the day you come to pick Sasuke up." Itachi nods his head at Orochimaru and left through the door.

Five Days Later

"Is he ready?" Itachi says as soon as he enters the building. Orochimaru walks up to him and shakes his hand.
"Yes, he is. He woke up not twenty-four hours ago." Orochimaru explains as they walk to the room Sasuke is in. "The white lines went away just like I said. The tail is long and sleek, while the ears are slightly fuzzy; all are pitch black of course. He is adapting rapidly to being on his legs and talking. He is able to walk about ten meters before he tires and he can speak short but complete sentences."
"Good. May I see him?" He asked rapidly, when they reached the door.
"Yes he is in here." Orochimaru opened the door with a keycard that only higher ups have. "He is practicing his walking at the moment." Itachi moves the door and walks in.
In the center of the room the person in the case was walking around a bar set in the center of the room. He stops walking when the door hits the wall making a dull thump. He looks over to them. He grabs the bar and bows when he sees Orochimaru and Itachi in the door. "Ohiyo, Orochimaru-sama and…"
"Sasuke, this is you brother, Itachi, he came to take you home."
"Ohiyo, Aniki. May I finish?" The ears on Sasuke's head twitch, while his tail flicks about. Itachi nods to him and Sasuke continued his walking around the bar. They watch for a few minutes until Sasuke stumbles and Orochimaru walks over to him and helps him sit down on a bed set off to the side.
Sasuke immediately after sitting down rubs his shins gently. Orochimaru squats down and checks his legs with his hands, pressing down on certain muscles. After he finished with his task he stands up and walks over to Itachi who stayed by the door the whole time. "You can take him home now if you want, but he can stay another night if you need him to."
"No, he has to leave with me today; he is my Mother's birthday present." Orochimaru nods and walks over to Sasuke and talks to him quietly for a minute and Sasuke looks at Itachi when he finished. His ears flatten against his head then slowly rise back up and twitch.
"Hai. He looks down and nods. Orochimaru moves back over to Itachi, while Sasuke goes back to rubbing his legs.
"He is willing to leave with you, but there are a few forms you must fill out before you can leave." Itachi nods and follows Orochimaru out of the room closing the door behind him.

"Sasuke, it's time to leave." Itachi says as he walks back into the room he was in earlier. Sasuke walks up to Itachi and hugs him, burying his head into Itachi's shirt, his tail swaying behind him.
"Aniki." He just barely whispers into the shirt. He pulls back and gives a small smile to Itachi. "Are we going home now?"
Itachi shakes his head no. "We have to buy you some clothes first. Then we can go home and you can meet Mother and Father." Sasuke nods his head and grabs onto Itachi's arm. Itachi turns and walks out of the building and walk over to a car. "Sasuke get in." Sasuke looks at the car confused as Itachi opens the door and holds it open for him. Slowly Sasuke gets in to the car and Itachi closes the door. Itachi helps buckle Sasuke in and then leaves heading to the store.

"Welcome to-." A pink haired beauty said as she welcomed them to the store.
"I know where I am at Sakura." Itachi brushed past her and started looking at some clothes.
"Oh, Itachi-san, I didn't know that it was you." She smiled as she fawned over him. When he didn't notice she turned to the teen attached to his arm. "Who is this with you?" Itachi looked up and nodded to Sasuke.
"This is Sasuke; I need you to find him some clothes." He walked over to a different rack and started looking at the clothes on it, Sasuke still attached to his arm.
"Of course, what kind of outfits are you looking for?" She walks over to them.
"I need formal, casual, and anything else you can think of." He says, before turning to her. "I need something that he can wear out of here and still look nice for Mother and Father."
She moved over to Sasuke and tried to pull him away from Itachi's arm, to get a good look at him for his size. As soon as he let go and stood in front of her, she gasped and fell back ward onto her butt. "He's got cat ears and a tail."
"Yes I am aware of that. All you have to do is find clothes for him to wear." He walks over to a chair and sits in it. She nodded her head and scurried off to find clothes for him to wear.
"Aniki, why was she startled when she saw me?" He walks over and sits next to Itachi, tilting his head to the side.
"Sasuke, you're different. Nobody has these." He ran his hand over Sasuke's ears and then his tail. "These are what make you different." His hand drops down to his lap again.
"Oh, I see. Is it bad for me to be different?" He looks down, away from Itachi.
"No, it's not bad, it's just that nobody is used to it." Itachi runs his hand over Sasuke's ears again, making Sasuke purr and lean towards Itachi's hand.
"I have some clothes for him to try on." Sakura says as she hurries around a rack holding a large pile of clothes.
"Sasuke, go try them on."
"Hai!" he stands up and follows Sakura to the dressing rooms.

At the Uchiha Mansion
0OoO0OoO0OoO0OoO0OoO0OoO0OoO0OoO0OoO0OoO0OoO0OoO0OoO0OoO0Oo
"Take these things to the room I had you prepare last night." Itachi ordered when they entered the mansion. "Sasuke you have a whole wing to yourself and nobody will come back there unless you tell them to."
"Can I see it?" Sasuke looks towards where the servants left to.
"You can." Sasuke walks towards where the staff left. "Sasuke, we take this way." Itachi moved towards the great stair case. "Come on." Sasuke quickly followed after him.
0OoO0OoO0OoO0OoO0OoO0OoO0OoO0OoO0OoO0OoO0OoO0OoO0OoO0OoO0Oo
"Here are your rooms they are all interconnected from the inside. You have this whole wing to yourself. Right now the rooms are empty but when you find things you like to do then we can fix the rooms to your liking." They walk into a room near the end of the hall. "These are your main rooms; you can decorate these to your liking later.
This is you main sitting room, you can stay here with your friends. Your bedroom is the door to the right. Your bathroom is through there and to the left. Your balcony is located outside your bedroom, through a glass door. Up there is your studio, its sound-proof and you can't hear anything in there that is coming from outside the room.
That room is you library, it's not as large as the one downstairs but that is for your books that you like to keep near you. You have a pool branching off of the library but it has to be filled before you can use it, and the rest of the rooms are empty." Sasuke nods and takes a few steps before stopping.
"May I go look?" He asks while turning back to Itachi. Itachi nods his head and walks back out of the rooms to prepare for his Mothers birthday. As soon as he left Sasuke took off to explore.
