Prologue

A Dream of a forgotten forest…

A forest as dark as the night skies seem too stretched as far as Sasuke's onyx eyes can see. There was no wind, no sound of birds chipping, no light penetrating the thick forest; it was just a vast of coldness and emptiness surrounding him in every angle. It's a silent state that waiting for something to break it. He headed down the narrow path of the forest, the dead leaves made a crunching sound, that seem to echo around the place when he step on them, seeming to filled the emptiness. He looked around as he strolled down the path. With every steps the forest seem to get colder and darker, which made him edgy. Where was he?

"Where am I?" He voiced his thought as he continued to look around. What a weird place. It was so cold and silent, devoid of any sign of life, just emptiness. Somehow, it felt familiar, as if he entered this strange forest before. It's nagged at back of his mind, why it felt so familiar yet foreign at the same time?

"Sasuke….."

He stopped in his track. His dark eyes scanned the forest. Someone or something was calling for him ahead, urging him to go deeper inside. Sasuke's mind went blank, why his legs carried him deeper into the forest.

"Sasuke…where are you?" Now it was close, just a few more steps more. Moreover, the voice seemed to held desperation. He felt his eyes widen slightly, as realization dawn on him. He knows that voice- It could not be? He'd almost tripped over protruding roots, as he quickened his pace, following the voice that was so familiar to him.

After a few minutes, though it felt hour to him, Sasuke came to a dead end. He held back the urge to curse. The forest seemed like a maze, its just leading him around in circle. Now that he was in deeper part of forest, the emptiness and coldness seemed to increase tenfold, it was so cold that he couldn't feel his hands anymore. He silently cursed himself for wearing a short-sleeve shirt. Sasuke wrapped his arms around himself attempted to get his body heat up. He paced around a little, since there's not much room to walk, as he took in his surrounding. The area that he was in was pinch in black; the only source of light was a small oil lantern that was hanging on one of the tree's branches giving the place a gloomy look. The trees and branch seem thicker than before he enters deeper inside the forest. The coldness and hollowness seemed to get to him; making him feels lonely and empty inside.

"Sasuke…" he quickly whirled around, knowing that smooth voice was the one leading him here, coming face-to-face to the owner of the voice. There he was, all in his glory. His brother, his Twin, his other half, and his light, He seemed to penetrate the dark forest with his presence; the hair, that was not in its usually ponytail, fell down his back liked dark waterfall, swaying slightly in a non-existed breeze. He was like an Angel; an angel that was sent from heaven to guide and comfort him.

The teen hesitantly stepped forward; his eyes never leave his brother's face. "Itachi?" he asked, a small smile crossing his feature. "Is that really you?" He have to make sure, his eyes might be playing a trick on him, creating illusion or mirage.

Itachi's nodded slowly, a gentle smile was visible on his beautiful, emotionless face. Sasuke felt relieved, he didn't know why, but it has to be Itachi's sudden appearance. His Twin's presence calm him somehow, it sooth all the coldness and fear from him, replacing it with warmth. Sasuke was started, when his brother suddenly embrace him, his arms wrapped tightly around him, clinging to him liked he was a lifeline. After he recovered from his shock, the teen slowly wrapped his arms around his Twin's; returning the embrace. For a moment, the loneliness and emptiness he felt before melt away with the sense of calmness, tranquility Itachi's gave him.

He felt his brother's nuzzle against his shoulder. "You came, when I called, you didn't leave me," The words were so soft and distant, that Sasuke have stained to hear it.

"Of course I won't leave," He answered softly; his hands stroked his twin's back, "We made a promise, remember? That we would always be together…"

Itachi nodded again "Yes….Just promises me, that you won't leave me here." His griped on Sasuke's shirt tightened; he shivered, "It's so cold and dark …..

Sasuke gently pulled his brother away from his chest, so he was holding him in arm-length. Slender fingers gripped his twin's chin, so the long-hair male was looking up at him.

"I promise, I won't even consider leaving you here, Itachi," He replied without hesitation, his onyx orbs met equally onyx orbs, their eyes so similar yet different at the same time. He noticed his brother was shivering for some reason, it's got to be the coldness of the forest, what else.

His brother seemed to relax at his words, before leaning on Sasuke right shoulder; slender arms wrapped around the teen's waist. They just stood there, enjoying the silence; the only sound was their breathing. Their presences with each other seemly block the coldness and hollowness of the forest from getting to them. Sasuke gently place his chin on Itachi's head, he couldn't help but be amused; even though they were twins, Itachi was an inch shorter than he was. Something in the back of his mind nag at him, he wonder how his brother gets here; seemly appearing out of nowhere, it was strange. He shrugged it off though, he could ask him later. Right now, they should enjoy the silence with each other.

A few minutes later, the teen's legs start to feel stiff, his stomach made a rumbling sound in hunger. It's time to get out of the forest and head back home. He cannot wait to be backed home for one reason; Itachi is an amazing cook. He's great at making cakes, homemade soups, ramens, fried noodles, and Sasuke favorite; homemade fry's dumplings. He felt his mouth watering just thinking of it.

"Sasuke…"

Said teen glanced down at his brother's, whom head was on his chest, he notice Itachi's skin suddenly got cold even through his clothes. It had to be this crazy forest causing this.

"Hn?"

Then it came: so cold, lifeless, and so dead, that a human being could not have.

"You lied…"

Sasuke frowned, confused, what did he mean? He shivered slightly when a chilling breeze came out of nowhere, which this forest did not have any wind blowing through them in the first place!

"Wha-"

"You lied!" Those words spoken from his Twin's lips were so angry, fill with bitterness, that Sasuke doubt it was his brother. Itachi never sound liked that, sure, his brother is quiet and distant, even though he was quiet in nature; he have the gentleness, calmness in his voice. Not like now.

"What do you mean, Itachi? When did I've lie to you?" He asked, he was confused and getting slightly angry; the teen did not knew why his brother was saying he was lying, when he did even not know what he's lying about.

Itachi shifted a little, his face now buried on Sasuke's shoulder, his long hair hid his face from view, "You've lied Sasuke, You said you've wouldn't leave me…but you did" He answered chilly, through out the speech; he didn't raise his head even just a second. Said teen want to pull his brother away so he could face him, but some sort of fear stop Sasuke, he didn't know what it was.

"What do you mean, I've left you? I'm right here! Or you just blind?" He didn't mean to sound so harsh, but really, he was losing his patience with his Twin's strange talk.

His brother chuckles slightly, sending chills down his back. Itachi never laugh liked that, it sound was so hollow and dead like this forest they were in.

"So harsh…You haven't changed a bit…" Ok; now he's getting piss, it not funny anymore. If Itachi is playing a joke, hell, he wasn't laughing.

Sasuke have enough courage to pulled his brother away from him, by the shoulders, "Itachi, this is not funn-" his words died in his throat, fear overcome him at the sight that greet him.

Dead, that only thing he can described, while staring into his brother's eyes, as cold, lifeless, unreadable and dark as an abyss. It was as if he was staring into a void of nothingness. Where minutes ago, they were fill with calmness liked the sea. His twin's face was unnaturally pale like white sheets; cold and stoic. The hair that he love so much fell into his brother face, so the long dark bangs hid those dead, haunting eyes that were staring at him unblinking. The young teen didn't notice until now, that his brother was wearing an ancient white kimono, with a red sash around the waist, painted designs in red. He shockingly noticed it wasn't just a design on it, when his fingers rubbed against his brother's shoulders, feeling something wet and hot, it was…blood.

His eyes widened, he felt he couldn't breathe properly; it's like something constrict around his lungs, suffocating him. No… this wasn't Itachi. His twin doesn't look like this or act liked this. This was something else in his brother body. He'd never believed in ghosts or demons before, he sort find them just foolish talk; but now staring into those hollow eyes, it like looking into death.

Sasuke released a shaky breath, that he didn't know he was holding, and stumble back, his arms fell to his side. His eyes was stilled fix on 'Itachi', who was staring back at him with those dead, dark orbs filled with hatred to the core.

"You're…" Sasuke breathed. His voice sound weak and raspy, even to his ears. "Not Itachi."

'Itachi' stared at him with an unreadable look on his face, staying still as a statue without even blinking the slightest bit. Sasuke narrowed his eyes at his brother… No, not his brother. This thing inside his Twin wasn't his brother at all, he refused to acknowledge it. He looked like Itachi, though more dead.

"Who are you?" He asked sharply. He wasn't going to allow his brother get possess by this thing or ghost, whatever it is.

Silence greet his question.

Sasuke felt the fear inside him before disappear; anger replacing it. He clenched his hands into a tight fist, it wasn't answering him. The teen moved forward and grasped his 'brother's' shoulders, ignoring the coldness that seeps into his fingertips through the silk kimono.

"Answer my question," His fingers tightened dangerously around the slender shoulders. "Who are you?"

Silence, Nothing. 'Itachi' was staring at his brother with narrow hollow eyes; through low bangs, remaining still like statue or iceberg. His face was cold and dead like before.

Sasuke let out a growled, anger pulsing inside him liked livid fire, which was clouding his judgment. His hands went straight to the other's delicate throat, squeezing it tightly; feeling the delicate bones crushing underneath his harsh pressure. He didn't notice the other's smile was plaster on the pale face.

The teen shook the other throat harshly, causing the head to rock back and forth in a dangerous pace. "Answer me, who the fucks are you, dammit!" He didn't feel the blood running down his arms or hear the other's gasp. He ignored his conscious telling him to let go. The only things that filled his mind were, anger, confusion, and fear blocking everything from outside.

"Sasuke…"

Drip.

"Answer, me!"

" Sasu…."

Drip.

"Who are you? Let my brother go!"

Drip.

"Le-", Sasuke was cut off by a choked gasp. He blink in shock, seeing blood running like river down his arms, pooling around him on the grassy ground. Shakily, he let his eyes trailed up to the face connected to the neck he was abusing.

He felt thousand needle stabs into his heart.

"Oh, god." He groaned.

Staring back at him, through pain filled eyes was; Itachi. His brother, his Twin. Itachi's beautiful face was contorting in shock and pain. River of blood trailed down from his pale, fragile lips to the arms clasped around his neck. The white kimono was now, painted by blood; covering every parts of the silk. Sasuke quickly let go of his twin's neck but the damage was already done, slipping onto the bloody soak ground, cradling his brother in his arms, and saw the bruise on Itachi's neck; dark black handprints covered the pale skin. Realizing hit him like a ton of bricks, on what he done, he broke his brother' neck.

He felt hot tears slowly made its way down his cheek, as he watched his brother struggled to breathe around a mouthful of blood. There was so much blood everywhere. It was his fault for doing this to his Twin; his light. He let his anger get the best of him, hurting someone who he cares for the most in the world. Why didn't he realize sooner that hurting the ghost that possess Itachi's body, was hurting his twin also? The ghost only used his brother's body as a hostage; to let him released his anger, fear, confusion on Itachi's. Now it disappeared, leaving his brother to suffer by his own hands.

"Itachi…" He choked on his sob, as hot tears trailed down his face, landing on his brother's countenance, "I'm so sorry, It's my fault," He whispered mournfully, his arms clutching his brother's frame to his chest. "I should've realized it was you I was hurting," He slammed his fist on the ground, ignoring the pain that travel to his arm, "How can I be so blind!" The teen closed his eyes tightly; waiting for his brother to yell at him, blame or slap him, but none came.

Sasuke tensed when he felt soft fingers trailed down his cheeks, wiping away the fleshy new tears. He slowly opens his eyes, his teary gaze traveled down to the bleeding body in his arms. He felt his eyes widened his breath hitch in his throat at the beautiful sight that greets him.

A gorgeous soft smile was spread across his Twin's pain-filled face. Even through his pain, Itachi was still giving that soft smile to him. His beautiful eyes were filled with pain and yet, fill with forgiveness that was direct at him. He was telling by his eyes, clearly stating; He'd forgive him, he'd never blame him. Sasuke felt a pang of pain in his heart. He knew his brother couldn't talk with a crush throat, he was to blame.

He tenderly wiped the blood from his brother's mouth. Itachi closing his eyes by the gentle motion, the soft smile still on his lips. After a while, when he was done cleaning the blood from his twin's lips, he notice that Itachi didn't open his eyes. The body in his arms was still and cold.

Fear and panic filled him. No, it can't be!

"Itachi?" he asked, though he didn't expect to get a response. He cradled his brother's shoulders with one arms, he flinched at the way Itachi's head rolled lifelessly back, the soft smile was still on his face. No, Itachi can't be gone! As if clinging to hope, Sasuke moved his hand downward to his brother's right arm, to rest on the pulse.

No beat. Itachi was gone

More tears trailed down his flush cheek, to merge with the old one. The young teen pulled his twin flushed against him, burying his face into the silk hair; as sobs racked his body. "Itachi, Please don't leave me." he cried into his brother's hair, his twin's body cold and lifeless in his arms. His brother, his twin, and his light- he'd killed him! Itachi's blood on his arms dripped down on to the ground like bleeding tears. He could never forgive himself for killing his brother, even it was a mistake. Sasuke felt his heart ached with so much pain, that he want nothing more to tear his own heart from his flesh, releasing the agony he is feeling right now. But it doesn't compare to the knives, twisting, stabbing and ripping him to pieces from the inside out. He killed the person he promised to be with his side. He broke his own promise, their promise. The one thing that he want to loved and protected was now dead in his arms- his blood-stained arms.

Sasuke pulled away from his twin's hair, his slender fingers gently caressed the smooth, soft and cold face. The tears stop falling from his eyes, he couldn't cry anymore, even though he wants to cry. His brother left him. He was all alone. He lost everything he loved, every thing he cherish by his cursed life. Was he curse to lose everything? Even to love someone precious to him? His parents, and now his brother were gone from his life. Truly, they are better without him. He was meant to be alone in his curse existence. His father was right; he was truly a failure. He always getting into trouble in school, making his mother worry sick about him, causing his father to start drinking, which led him and his mother to a car accident. They were both killed that night. He was the reason they died. Now, his brother was gone, the one who'd understand him, was gone. He couldn't protect his Twin. Hell, he couldn't even protect Itachi or himself. What was meant for him in the outside world? Nothing. Nothing matter to him anymore. He wanted to stay in this dark, cold forest forever; loneliness was all he deserved. He stared into his twin's closed eyelids. He wants to look at those beautiful eyes, to be lost in its depth once again. In his bleeding heart; He knew those eyes won't open, it won't able to give him the hidden soft look, anymore. The owner of those eyes is dead. Gone from his life.

The teen was startled, when his brother's body dissolves into crimson light, from his arms. A beautiful crimson butterfly, that was now in his place. It fluttered around him for a while, creating sparkly dust, before it headed into the deeper part of the forest; disappearing into the darkness. The only thing remain from his brother's was the blood on his arms, the large pool of blood surrounding him, searing into his body. Now he was really alone. Sasuke stared at his blood-stained arms, which were still dripping like the rain. The forest got colder and darker, without his twin comforting him, telling him everything going to alright. Without the source of light to warmed his dark, lonely heart. Sasuke chuckle bitterly; Ironic, The forest is exactly reflecting what he felt now.

Cold.

Empty.

Alone.

He felt tears trailed downs his cheek again. His heart hurt. Everything hurt. His soul felt so hollow and cold, like an icy blizzard, freezing his body. He wanted his twin back. He want to see Itachi giving him the soft smile, or how his usually distant eyes sparkle with laughter, when he done something stupid liked; tripping over his own feet, drinking an spoiled milk and end up rushing to the bathroom, blushing profusely when he see Itachi naked, accidentally walking in on him when Itachi was taking a shower; who forgot to lock the door. Sasuke smiled slightly at the memories, flowing into him. That was embarrassing. The smile disappears quickly as it appears, a frown replacing it. Guilt and pain fill his heart. He won't be able to see that smile ever again or the softness of those eyes. His brother was murder by his own hands. The light to his dark world was now, dead.

He was all alone.

He falling

Falling

To the darkness

To the coldness

To the Emptiness…

Pale red lips parted. He called for the name who can release him from this prison.

"Itachi."

Oh, please don't worry. Itachi didn't die, Sasuke just having a dream or it can be called a nightmare. But this scene might happen, though.

I hope everyone liked this chapter even it's quite scary.
