Preface:

Sasuke's POV

"I played the role of older brother that you wanted… to test your capacity. The one who will test my capacity… you have that potential.... If you want to kill me, despise me, hate me, and live a loathsome life… Run away, run away, and cling to life."

Those words… the ones that ruined my life not so long ago… still run through my mind like they did when I first heard them. I still hear your voice loudly in my head. Do they mean that I was never anything more than a tool to you? Did I never mean anything to you? And to kill you… I don't think I will ever be able. You are beautiful, my Aniki. You are strong beyond imagining. To kill you would be to kill a god. Something that is not possible. But what can I do? Its what you want.

Chapter 1

Sasuke's alarm clock went off by his bed. It was time to get ready. The seventeen year old got up from his work desk and pushed the button. In all honesty, the clock was useless. Sasuke did not sleep. He could not sleep. Sure, his room was comfortable… but even though he had been here for a couple years now, he did not feel safe around Orochimaru. Did not trust him. And sleep held memories of that horrible day…

"Sssasuke." Was heard from downstairs. The raven got up and walked to the snake, down the dark hallway and unlit stairs.

"Hai, Orochimaru-Dono." He said quietly. The snake smiled.

"You have a very important mission today. Today, you will embark on the quest of your dreams. Your hatred has paid off…I have no more power to give you… in celebration of the end of your training, you may go kill your brother." Sasuke bowed.

He had pretended around everyone that he hated his brother. That he wanted to kill him. Truth be told, he only wanted to see him again. Even if it warranted his own death.

The raven put a smirk on his face.

"Finally. Arigato, Orochimaru-Dono." He said before going back to his room to pack. Sasuke had already done extensive research into the akatsuki. He knew where the hideout was, the quickest way to get there, where exactly Itachi's room was, and how to get in it un-detected.

Soon, the teen was ready. He had all his ninja tools, his katana, soldier pills, etcetera. All that was left to get were food provisions for the trip. Sasuke was about to pick up his pack to do so when he heard Orochimaru scream from downstairs. The raven bounded down into the kitchen, to find Orochimaru dead on the floor, an unused sedative in his hand.

Kabuto was backed against the wall. His eyes were wide and blood shot. Sasuke looked over to him.

"Kabuto. What happened?" He asked. The gray-haired boy only shook his head. And his expression returned to normal.

"Run, Sasuke. They were looking for YOU." He said. That was when Sasuke noticed it. There was another presence inside the boy.

"Who are you?" Sasuke growled, a kunai already in his hand.

"…A friend. All will be revealed but I cannot protect you here. Run. Go on your journey. Forget what you saw here. I will see you soon…" The voice said, longing subtly peeking out.

"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked warily. But there was no answer. Kabuto's body fell dead to the floor.

What did this all mean? Sasuke quickly grabbed his provisions and bounded back upstairs. Grabbing his bag, he put them in and jumped out the window, landing on his feet in the nearby tree. Shoving his chakra energy to his feet, he jumped through the trees at high speed. Somehow he felt he could trust the voice. Whoever it was…

Sasuke traveled for about five hours before he found a town. He would stop here for the night. The streets were crowded for some sort of celebration, so the raven should be safer here than out in the open. Sasuke rented a room at an inn in the center of the town. It was noisy here, but he would make do.

The teen couldn't help but take this time to think about his brother. Did he look different now? Was he still wearing that cloak with the clouds? Had the man changed personalities again? Soon Sasuke was drifting off to sleep… the first sleep he would have in years…

The bloody bodies of his clan surrounded him. They were all killed by the same man… the one in the cloak with clouds; his brother. Sasuke looked to the left and saw his family. His aunt, uncle, cousin, mother, father… to his right he gasped. It was his brother. His brother before this happened. His kind brother that he had loved. But what did this mean? He looked back at his brother in the akatsuki cloak. He beckoned Sasuke forward, but the boy could only stumble back. What did it mean? Two Itachis? Had the teen been awake, the thought would have been very… arousing… but surrounded by blood… his family's blood, the blood in his veins… this only aroused fear… and a potential headache for the morning.

Sasuke was awakened as a loud band was heard through the town. Sasuke turned on his side and looked at the clock. 5:30 AM. The town was silent. The partying had probably ended long ago. So why was there noise? Sasuke quietly got up and peered out from behind the curtains. There was smoke coming from the gates he had entered. It was time to go. Sasuke picked up his pack and went up to the roof. He had already paid for his room, so all he had to do was leave. Damn. He was looking forward to cooked breakfast… oh well. The teen ran across the rooftops till he got the walls surrounding the town. He jumped onto the wall, and then from there into the surrounding trees, and groggily continued his journey to the akatsuki hideout…
