Fandom: Naruto
Pairing: onesided Sasuke x Itachi (that means Uchihacest boys and girls!)
Rating: PG
Warnings: If you haven't read up to at least chapter 404 of the manga then this will be spoiler filled for you! Angst. Hero-worship. Obsession.
Description: Sasuke always looked up to his older brother...even if he didn't realize it at the time. Some things can never be discarded, no matter how easily you believe they can.

I used to
follow in your footsteps, they were so big that it was hard to keep
up, still I tried.
I didn't mind being compared to you or having
others talk about your amazing achievements to me.
You were the
sun that my world revolved around. You were my god and I thought that
nothing could ever change that.
Then...then I find you with
blood on your hands. This wasn't what scared me, what scared me was
the coldness in your eyes and in your words. I didn't want to believe
that it was you, that you of all people would be able to do something
this insane, this bloodthirsty, this unexplainable, this cruel.
You
told me to run, yet offered no explanation as to why you committed
such a heinous act. It's funny how even when I was completely
immobilized by fear, hearing you command me to run and live on hating
you, I still managed to follow your orders without question or
comment.
You were still the center of my universe, although no
longer a god...a devil perhaps, or something much worse.
Every day
my thoughts were centered on you. Every detail, every second of my
life had its worth judged by how it could increase my strength so
that I could defeat you.
I went against everything I had been
taught at the Academy for the strength to defeat you.
I defected
and gained power from terrible dark places that no person should have
to go. I suffered through some of the worst things imaginable, except
to me they could not compare to the pain of having my god torn from
me and exposed as a fraud in the cold light of day.
I killed for
the power to at least equal, if not best you.
Then with my
back against the wall and your essence on my face...only then with
your last smile did I see my brother again. You let me live when you
could have taken me into the afterlife with you...and now, now that I
know the truth...I wish you had.
Please forgive me aniki...forgive
your foolish otouto for he knows not what he did. You sacrificed
yourself for my sake. You left the clues there but I was too blind to
see them for what they were.
I brush off the dust and cobwebs,
taking the somewhat dirtied and damaged idol and placed it back upon
its pedestal. I never did throw you away Kami-sama, I could never
find enough loathing to do so. So I hid it away, concealing it with
all these veils, lies of emotions and oaths of vengeance. Out of
sight, out of mind. But never did I discard you, brotherly bonds such
as ours are too strong for that.
Now I know the truth. Deep inside
I knew that you could never commit such a vile act without reason.
Others tried to reason with me, saying that it was insanity. But a
being as pure as a god does not suffer from such a trivial mortal
affliction.
Your sacrifices will not be in vain. For those who
caused us both so much pain will suffer and fall by my hand.
I
will begin a holy crusade, seeing clearly for the first time with
these eyes that you gifted me with aniki-sama.
