A/N: Eh, this was kind of floating around inside of me. Thoughts? Review!!

"Nii-san, who is that girl?" Sasuke asks, his hand reaching up to entwine in his brother's.

Itachi looks back at the waving girl, a small smile curving his lips upwards.

"Do you know what love is, Sasuke?" Itachi inquires.

"Of course," Sasuke replies. "I love Oka-san and Otou-san and you, Nii-san!"

"Yeah, me too," Itachi chuckles. "And I love her too."

Sasuke thinks this over, and finally nods.

They walk in silence for a few minutes as Sasuke enjoys just being with his brother.

"But Sasuke," Itachi says suddenly. "You know what you love the most, right?"

Sasuke furrows his eyebrows in confusion.

"No," he answers. "What's that?"

Itachi smiles at his little brother, but Sasuke doesn't see the sadness behind it.

"Konoha," Itachi tells him. "You must always love our village most."
