[Sasuke: 12 Itachi: 16]

Chapter one: bad feelings

Sasuke stood alone in the pouring rain in front of Orochimaru's layer. He knew the sennin could help him grow strong enough to defeat Itachi and avenge his clan. As Sasuke reached to open the doors, someone flung them open almost hitting Sasuke; it was no other than Orochimaru himself.

"Ahh, Sasuke we've been expecting you" he said in his chilling snake like voice.

Sasuke noticed Orochimaru's eyes looked him over, top to bottom, not missing a single detail on Sasuke's seemingly perfect body.

"Please come in, we don't want you to get sick now do we." he said smoothly. Sasuke nodded.

Orochimaru's layer was empty and cold and seemed to be designed like a maze with all of its doors and hallways. Orochimaru led Sasuke in an empty room and shut the door behind him. Sasuke looked around; there was nothing in the room except for a bed, a desk, and a couple of lit candles. Orochimaru leaned against the door, "Sasuke, you should get some rest, you look tired, and I want you awake for tomorrow's training." He chuckled before straightening himself up and going to open the door.

"What are we doing?" Sasuke questioned

"You'll just have to wait and see" Orochimaru smirked before leaving Sasuke alone in the unfamiliar room.

"Whatever" Sasuke mumbled.

To be honest, Sasuke was actually tired. He didn't expect Naruto to put up such a fight. ~Naruto…you tried so hard just to fail, even worse I know you'll keep trying too, you refuse to fail… you're just an idiot, everyone has to fail at some point whether you like it or not, as soon as you understand that, then, can you truly succeed…~ He lied down on the uncomfortable bed and shut his eyes tight trying to shut off his mind, trying to get rid of the faces of all the people he betrayed, trying to forget… When Sasuke had finally fell asleep, he had began dreaming of the times when he and his brother were close. He always had the same dream and it always went exactly like this…

"SASUKE!" Itachi yelled from the doorway, "I'm home!"

Sasuke bolted through the house to greet his nii-san with a goofy smile spread across his face. "NII-SAN!" he yelled before leaping into Itachi's open arms. Itachi smiled and laughed as Sasuke struggled to get his arms around him because of his tight grip.

"Glad to know you missed me, otouto" Itachi laughed

"Of course I missed you nii-san!" Sasuke said happily

Itachi fixed Sasuke in his arms so he was cradling him. Sasuke giggled in delight. The 12 year old opened the door and carried his eight year old brother down to the lake where they always sat together. He sat down on the edge of the dock with Sasuke sitting in his lap. "Nii-san?" Sasuke said quietly.

"Yes, otouto?"

"Do you love me?"

Itachi smiled warmly and kissed the top of Sasuke's head, "of course I love you"

"Always?"

"Forever and ever, otouto, I will always love you no matter what happens, I want you to remember that so no matter what horrible thing I do to make you hate me with all your heart I will still love you and I will always be there for you, even if I'm just an obstacle for you to pass"

Sasuke took his head out of Itachi's chest and looked him in the eyes, "nii-san, but I don't want you to do horrible things, I want you to do good things, I don't want to hate you 'cause I love you, and I don't want you to be an obstacle for me to pass, I want you to stay with me forever and be my nii-san…"

Itachi put his forehead against Sasuke's, "Sasuke… don't worry about it, I don't plan to do any horrible things, I don't want you hate me, and believe me when I say this, I want to stay with you forever and be your older brother, It's just… things don't always go as we want them to and one day we all have to face that fact, even if we truly don't want to, but I'll promise you something…"

"What is it, nii-san?"

"I'll always protect you, so when things look at their worst and you're in trouble, I'll be there to save you."

"…so it's like you have sixth sense? Your Sasuke's in trouble and I have to go save him sense?"

Itachi laughed, "Yes otouto, my Sasuke's in trouble and I have to go save him sense will tell me when you're in need of saving."

Sasuke put his head back in his nii-san's chest and smiled, "good…"

Sasuke was abruptly awakened from his happy dream by someone pushing and shoving him telling him to get up. Sasuke groaned, and half opened his eyes to see Orochimaru's right hand man, Kabuto. "Get up, lord Orochimaru is waiting for you" he snickered. Normally, Sasuke would tell any other person to go away and go back to sleep but this wasn't any other person, it was Kabuto, and even worse, Orochimaru was waiting for Sasuke, making the option of going back to sleep, not an option. ~ugh, I wanna go back to bed…~ Sasuke pulled himself up and stayed sitting on the bed, too tired to stand. Kabuto pushed a pair of clothes into Sasuke's arms, "go clean yourself up, you look like a mess, I'll be waiting outside your door" he said and left to go wait outside Sasuke's door. ~Great, now I'm being rushed~ Sasuke thought. Even though Sasuke desperately wanted to go back to bed he did what Kabuto ordered. After he was done, he opened his door to see Kabuto waiting for him like he said he would. Kabuto led Sasuke through the halls to wherever Orochimaru was waiting. ~I have a bad feeling about this~ Sasuke thought to himself…
