A/U: Hey looks, Its a dabble! Remember to review =)


Itachi was smiling when he died. Everything he had worked for, everything that he gave his life for-

All had been in vain. Sasuke his kid brother- Sasuke, the little boy he refused to kill out of love, Sasuke... had unknowingly destroyed everything he had tried to prevent. As Itachi's eyes glazed over as he smiled sadly. He remembered the stories he had told his brother to keep the bitter truth of being a shinobi at bay. The lies told to an idealistic child that everything was always all right in the end. Lies told to a boy whose view of the world as black and white had not been obstructed by grey.

His brother was still that child, and there was no such thing as happily ever after in the real world.
