Hello everyone! :D I present to you my first fanfiction! [insert trumpets here] on another forum, people told me it was "absolutely adorable", so I worked up the courage over the course of a few months to post it here. Note: I'm sorry if this is awful. I tried. D:

Sasuke Uchiha sat under a shady tree in an open field. After having his daily plot on how exact revenge on Itachi, he decided to take a short nap, as evil plotting wore him out. A few minutes after Sasuke closed his eyes, he heard someone coming.

"Who's there?" Sasuke said, opening one eye. The person standing in front of him was unbelievable. A mini Sasuke?

"Are you Sasuke Uchiha?" the small boy asked in a childish, almost squeaky, voice. He was no more than three feet tall with huge eyes and miniature version of Sasuke's outfit, purple bow and all.

"Yes. What do you want?" Sasuke said cooly, though his mind was racing with questions.

"Then this is for you." Mini Sasuke handed the confused Uchiha a note. It read:

Dear Sasuke,

Remember how I said that older brothers were always there for you, even as an obstacle? Well, since I failed you, I thought you should give it a try. Using a jutsu, I created a mini version of yourself. He'll act just like you back when you were younger. You'll have to take care of him. You were a handful so good luck!

Love,

Itachi

Sasuke reread the note several times, not believing it.

"You expect me to believe this?" Sasuke handed the note back to the child.

"But Itachi gave it to me himself! He said you were my big brother!" Mini Sasuke looked as though he was about to burst into tears. Now, somewhere deep down inside, Sasuke had a heart. He wouldn't be able to leave this child out here and survive the guilt.

"Fine. But when I find that bastard I'm gonna kill him." Sasuke sighed. "But to avoid identity crisis, I'll call you Ritoru."

Ritoru was jumping up and down excitedly, asking questions as fast as rapids flow. "Where do you live? Can you buy me some candy? Will you give me a piggyback ride? What do you like to do? Do you like riceballs? Can we play hide and seek? What's you're village called? Do you have any friends?"

Sasuke ignored the questions and got up from the tree, preparing to leave. "Let's go." He said, strolling away in the direction of Orochimaru's hideout. Ritoru immediately ran up to his "big brother".

"Where are we going, big brother?" Ritoru asked, grabbing Sasuke's hand in his. Sasuke was taken aback by Ritoru's friendly gesture but softened before he replied.

"Home."

So? What'd you think? Please R and R (read and review) and I might be happy enough to actually start the next chapter.
