"Immortality is simply a curse.

Love is a bitter sweet emotion that fades with time.

And hate will remind you of all the wrongs things in the world"

It made no sense what this man was yammering on about but he listened. Like he always dose. Eyes fixed on to the mirror image of his own. But his were sharper and colder then the younger ones.

The older of the two leant back humming. "so Sasuke," he started. His only dark eye curling to show he was smiling at the boy beneath the thick neck of his cloak, "do you understand it now?"

Did he ever know what this man was possible getting at? no, was he going to tell him that? not a chance in hell.

"hm," he nodded as the older one sighed.

"You know it isn't a bad thing to tell me when you don't understand, Sasuke..."

Sasuke scowled at his sensei, "How do you know I don't Understand it, Kakashi?"

His eye soften even so slightly but the Uchiha, with his keen eyes, caught the small movement "because only in time will you learn the truth... and the pain of my words."

That was over five hundred years ago when Sasuke was still fresh out of the living and hadn't of yet stepped a toe into the dark.

But soon after he had learned the meaning of his mentor's words.

He learned about hate and the curse of immortality but love? tch, he had no longer a beating heart for that message to sink in to.

He leant against the gargoyles statue, idle watching the moon in the sky. A lone trail of blood went from the side of his lips to his chin already dried in the night's cool air as his mind wounder amlessly through thoughts and memorise.

"yo, Sasuke."

Dark, dead, coal eyes turned to his former master as the man crouched down beside him. Neither looked different from that night so long ago but the boy's humanity has withered away to nothing.

He was nothing more then another monster of the night... Nothing more then a shell of what he once was so long ago.

"Itachi looking for you."

Itachi. That man was the center of his hatred, the reason for his curse. But still when Itachi calls, Sasuke will go. As the mind games could be too much. His hatred wasn't strong enough to passed through all of Itachi's tricks.. well not yet it wasn't.

"where is he?" The raven ask, already having a vague idea.

"Same place as always."

He nodded and with in a blink of an eye; Both males where gone.

Itachi closed his eyes and tried desperately not to inhale the bitter sweet scent, that lingered in the air. He was tired and thirsty.. oh so very thirsty... and their blood was so tempting.

'how can they do this for payment?' He thought, trying to distract him self, as a pink tongue slip pass bow shape lips wetting them before disappearing once again. His throat burned and his stomach felt like it was devouring it self. How long has it been since he feed? 4 days... five? Itachi didn't have a clue but he was certain he wasn't going to tonight.

"Thank you for the graces gift" Madara purred, jolting Itachi out of his thoughts.

Eyes like wine meet those of pearl before they were quickly shielded by a veil of indigo "yes, thank you for the gift"

Even if he didn't like it. Even if he hated it. Refusing, only meant they would go some where else and sell this poor girl. Then with the money, they got for her, they would give it to them as payment for protection. Either way she was going to be sold and They would have to protect the disgusting humans that sold her.

'Better for the kid to have a quick, and relatively painless, death then living a live of prostitute' He thought, watching as each Hyuuga left. red eyes lingering on the long haired brunette as he hesitated- anger and pity crashing off him in violent waves- before following the others out with a wordless apology to the young maiden.

Madara took a step forward, before gracefully sinking to his knees, in front of the girl. "Shh, my sweet pet. Don't cry." He hushed as she started to silently sob, desperately trying to stop the tears. "It will all be over in a minute-"

"She is for Sasuke" Itachi told him as he stood from his seat and walked closer to the two on the floor, "No one is to touch her" He warned the older vampire, picking her up as Madara rolled his eyes.

"Fine, I'll go find another" The elder sighed and stalked out of the room. Not wanting to start a bawl over something so pity as food.

"A gift?"

"Yes, she's in your room"

Sasuke was the most ruthless killer there- well apart from himself and Madara. But Madara liked to play with his food and Itachi still despise feeding on humans. and would only sink that low when it was absolutely necessary.

"hm." He turned his back on to his older brother. But he did not overlook the weak state of which the elder vampire was in.

"You should feed more"

Itachi's lips twitch but didn't settle in a smile or a smirk. "I know"

"tch, And you call me foolish" Sasuke muttered walking out of the room missing the small sad smile on Itachi's lips.

A4TN: oh, something I forgot to add- this will be replacing back from the dead. Sigh, that one turned out to be a total failure and I can't find the first chapter! DX
