Separate Lives
By: Silverwolf
A pair of horses took off in daybreak. One rider only sixteen, the other at nearly twenty. Both horses rounded a set a barrels with a drapple mare in the lead. A cheer can be heard. "You beat your last time. She's incredible." The teen on the pony's back laughs a bit. "She's easy to handle, is all." There was a slight Cajun accent. The raven teen shakes his head, "she ain't gonna see nuthin' good though. She'll jus be like me; stuck here." The older male laughs, "ya ain't gonna go nowhere. Parents bein' dirt poor ain't gonna help ya either."
A car choked up along the side of the dirt road. The male that stepped out of it had a 'million dollar' appearance. "Damn. I swear I hate hunting place in these 'hick' towns." Itachi makes a face. A teen on the back of a horse looks at him, "ya ain't from around here." Itachi hears the accent. "No I'm not, and it doesn't help that my car broke down."
Every one around starts pointing to the teen on the horse, "he can fix it mister. But it'll cost ya." Itachi narrows his eyes at the teen. The 'country brat' slides from the horse's back with ease. "Ya got money?" Itachi rolls his eyes, "do you know who I am?" The teen shakes his head."not really." Itachi makes a face, "if you can fix it I'll pay you. If not then you owe me." The teen shrugs and steps over towards the car.
Itachi shivers not enjoying the cold weather. His eyes watch the teen seem unbothered by the chill despite the fact he's wearing a pair of torn gloves. Itachi watches as the teen looks back at him, "ya gotta open the hood. Then I'll give ya da answer." Itachi moves back towards the car without an argument. All Itachi wanted was out of town now. The teen hands someone a hat giving Itachi an actual look of his face. What the raven male discovers confuses him. The teen looking at his car had almost the same appearance as Itachi's mother. "May I ask you something?" The teen glances towards Itachi with narrowed eyes, "ya just did. What?" "Who are your parents?" The teen tilts his head while staring at the engine of the car, "Jasper and Sara Finn, why? I can fix it. Take me a couple a'days though."
Itachi looks at the group watching, "well then where can I find a place to stay the night?" The teen makes a face, "inn's down the road 'bout a mile. Later." The teen looks at the male sitting on the back of a horse, "ya might as well fetch 'em. It's gotta be towed." Horse and rider take off from sight. Itachi stands dialing a cell phone. He becomes frustrated when he loses the signal. Everyone laughs. The teen mounts the mare in silence. "There's a phone in da inn. Someone'll be 'round for da car." Itachi looks at the teen, "oh, no, no, I'm not leaving my car here." The teen shrugs, "suit yaself." The horse is swift to take off with the teen upon it's back. "Couple a'days...tops!" Several people stare at Itachi. It was obvious the raven male was out of place.

A phone rings. Mikoto answers it with a huff. "Hello?" There's a pause. "Itachi... well your father's not here. I'll tell him though. Are you sure someone can fix it?" There's a long pause. Mikoto makes a face. "Well Itachi...I don't know anything about that... If you could I'd love to see. Well hopefully you sleep well." Another pause as Mikoto digs through a drawer, "okay... give me the number. I'll have him give you a call. And it can't be that bad."
Itachi hears his mother laugh, "mother if I can get a signal I'll send you a picture. I swear you could've given birth to this child." The raven male hear's a nervous laugh. "There's something you aren't stating; isn't there?"
Itachi can hear the loud sigh. "Please tell me what ever it is." The raven male makes a face as a shorter version of a longer story begins. Itachi's eyes go wide, "you did what? You're telling me that I have a brother somewhere that you both hid from me because he was born while I was away at camp. Mother, I'll bring back a picture." The raven male lowers his head slightly, "please don't cry. I'm not angry. It's just odd to learn that all this time I could've been an older brother instead of an only child. And I'm sure both were thinking of me when you decided to place him up for adoption. Mother, there's only one question... did you name him?"
Itachi gives half a grin. "Well I'm going to try and see if he recognizes the name you've given me. I know I shouldn't disrupt the life he has, but I have to know. I'll see you both in two days. I love you."
A/N: I was bored when I put this together. I'm not even sure if it's interesting. I guess if anyone wants more they can leave me some kind of message.
