Hey everyone! I'm back with a new story ^_^
Even though this is ItaSasu I won't give an incest-warning because in this story they are not brothers. Everything else is like in the series though.
Rating is just to be safe, I don't know if there's going to be a lemon or anything like that yet (I've never written one, but there's a first time for everything right?)
So enough talk for now, here is part 1!
-.-.-.-.-
"Nii-san, will you come practice with me outside?" a little 5 year old boy with dark blue hair asked and gave his brother his most adorable look, looking up to him with big puppy eyes and smiling expectantly.
"I don't know Sasuke, I thing dinner is almost ready..." the addressed hesitated but when he saw his brother's face he couldn't help but to give in. "...alright let's ask Mum if we still have some time left."
Sasuke's smile grew even further. "Yay!" he yelled, throwing up his arms in joy.
The two of them walked into the kitchen and when their mother told them that they could and she would call them when dinner was ready, Sasuke ran outside laughing, closely followed by his brother trying to keep up with him. Their mother watched them smiling gently. Her two sons were the only ones she had left since her husband had died mysteriously during a mission. No one had been able to understand how the powerful and respected Tsuyoshi Ougi could have died in battle, since he was the strongest man in the whole village and even if he ever felt he couldn't win he would be smart enough to withdraw instead of fighting in a senseless battle. And yet 3 years ago when Miyoko Ougi heard a knocking on her door, she opened it to find the elder of the village standing in her frontyard, accompanied by 2 Jonin, all of them with a sad expression on his face.
It was still hard for Miyoko to think back to that day, how they had told her that her husband had been killed in battle. But she had tried to be strong for her two sons. Sasuke was only 2 by then so he hadn't been able to understand completely what was going on, but Yasuo was already 14 years old, so she had tried her best to help him get over the death of his father. Unfortunately she couldn't rely on the other villagers help, as they were very conservative. Miyoko came from a far distant country and the other people only accepted her because she had married Tsuyoshi, who was the villages most glorious Shinobi, but still she felt that they mistrusted her.
The only person that still cared for them was Takeru Ougi, Tsuyoshi's older brother. He helped them whenever they needed financial help and came over almost everyday to visit his nephews. He was almost like a second father to them, especially to Sasuke, who couldn't remember his real father very well.
Suddenly Miyoko's thoughts were interrupted by a sizzling sound. She looked around to see the water on the stove boiling. 'I should rather focus on not burning down the house than thinking back to that terrible day...' she thought and continued to prepare dinner.
-.-.-.-.-
Meanwhile Sasuke and Yasuo had reached a clearing in the forest near their house. Even though Sasuke didn't have own memories of his father Yasuo would often tell him how strong and brave he had been and so the wish to become as good of a shinobi as his father had been, grew in Sasuke's heart. To make this wish come true he often asked his brother, who was already a Chunin himself, for help with his training.
"Well then, try to come at me, Otouto." Yasuo grinned and positioned himself.
Sasuke didn't need to be told twice. He ran towards his brother and tried to hit him, but Yasuo countered his attack by crossing his arms in front of his face. Sasuke jumped back, drew a kunai and aimed it at the older one, but Yasuo simply dodged it.
"Stop messing around! If you're not serious about this we may as well stop." Yasuo said with a serious expression on his face.
'Alright then...' Sasuke thought and activated his special ability.
-.-.-.-.-
Miyoko's thoughts had started to wander off again when a knock on the front door brought her back to reality. She could already guess who it was and when she opened the door her assumption was confirmed.
"Hello Takeru, come on in. Dinner is almost ready, do you want to eat with us?" Miyoko asked smiling gently. He let him in and went back into the kitchen.
"Yes of course. You know how much I love your cooking." Takeru smiled back, following her.
"Great! I'll just have to call the boys, they are in the forest, practicing." she was about to go outside when Takeru stopped her.
"Wait, let me do it. I would love to see if they have improved since the last time I watched them." he said and went outside.
-.-.-.-.-
The fight between Sasuke and Yasuo had meanwhile gathered pace. Sasuke had now taken the defensive part and managed to dodge almost every attack of his brother thanks to his special ability: When he focused very hard he could change the colour of his usually dark eyes into a crimson red. His iris was encircled by a black circle and there was a black spot on that circle. Sasuke didn't really know what these eyes were, they had sometimes appeared during training and since about two weeks he was able to activate them deliberately. All he knew was that they gave him a great advantage in battle. He could anticipate the enemy's movements, giving him the chance to at defend himself perfectly even against strong opponents. He was still very young, thus not very strong yet, so it seemed to be a very useful ability.
Yasuo threw some shuriken towards his younger brother who dodged them with ease. Only a split second later he appeared in front of Sasuke and attacked him with a kunai, but Sasuke, who of course had known what his brother had planned, countered with a kunai himself. They were now standing face to face (well rather face to crotch, since Sasuke was a lot smaller than his brother) and looked each other in the eye. Sasuke was using all his strength to keep his brothers kunai from coming closer to his face, but Yasuo wasn't giving it his all so that his brother had a chance to defend himself.
"Those eyes of yours sure are amazing. I'd like to know how you got them, I really wanna have a pair of those myself." Yasuo said grinning.
"I bet you do." Sasuke grinned back.
Suddenly a hard voice drew the brothers attention. "Your mother wants you to know that the dinner is ready!"
They turned their heads to see who had called them and Sasuke's face lit up. "Uncle Takeru!" he screamed and ran towards him. Yasuo followed him, also smiling.
When they reached him, Takeru was smiling as well. "I see you have gotten a lot better, Sasuke." he said, looking down at his nephew.
"That's because Nii-san always helps me with my practice!"
"Is that so?" Takeru said and his gaze moved over to the older brother. Yasuo suddenly had a strange feeling when his uncle looked at him, but he couldn't quite put a finger on it, so he shook it off, thinking that it must have been the adrenaline from the battle with Sasuke.
"So, should we go back then?" Takeru asked and the brothers nodded.
-.-.-.-.-
Miyoko smiled when she saw her three men returning to the house.
"The table is already laid, just sit down." she smiled when they entered.
Sasuke was running to the table laughing and sat down on the long side of the table. Yasuo followed him smiling at his brother's rapturous behavior. Takeru went over to Miyoko.
"I'm sorry. I know I said I would eat with you, but I forgot that I still had something to take care of. I have to go now." he said impassively.
Miyoko looked surprised. "A-alright then. I'll see you to the door."
"That won't be necessary." he smiled. "Bye kids!" he said and was gone just a second after.
"Was something wrong with him?" Sasuke asked.
"He probably just has a lot of work to do." Miyoko shrugged and took Sasuke's plate to put some rice and vegetables on it.
They ate in silence and after Sasuke and Yasuo had taken a bath they soon went to bed, as Yasuo would have to get up early the next day and Sasuke was exhausted from the long day.
-.-.-.-.-
So that was it for now. Please tell me what you think and if you'd like to read more.
