Brothers
''Itachi. You said you hated me. You said…''
''I lied, Sasuke.'' Itachi coughed as he spoke. They were both covered in red.
Sasuke looked down at Itachi. The stress of keeping back the tears was driving him nuts.
He hated this man more than anything. Hated him for what he did.
The hatred had grown larger over the years.
He had sworn he would get his revenge; revenge for the murder of his family. The murder committed by his own brother; the brother he adored so much.
Itachi coughed again. The once strong, dark eyes, was now so weak and lacking life.
His sight was almost gone.
They sat like that for a long time; Itachi in Sasukes arms. They just sat there, waiting.
The time went by slowly, minutes felt like hours.
''I hate you.'' Sasuke whispered. So quiet that Itachi could hardly hear him.
''I hate you too.'' Itachis body went limp in his arms. But Sasuke continued holding him. He felt something wet running down his cheek. He gave up the fight against the tears, and just let them fall.
''I love you… Brother.''
