True Love

It was scorching hot in Hi no Kuni, sweat beaded down the dark haired male as he jumped from tree to tree. His shirt had long been removed and his pants were rolled up to his knees. His dark eyes, held only a spark of emotion as they shifted side to side, looking for a sign of life. After he killed Orochimaru and unexpectedly Kabuto, he fled not bothering to get a team together, like what was originally planned.

His first stop was the supply shop that Nekobaa owned; Itachi and he used to come here all the time, when they were younger, for ninja supplies. He was surprised to hear her talk about 'his poor Aniki'.

"Baa-chan, what are you talking about? He massacred my clan!" Sasuke's voice held much angry as he spoke to the old cat lady. He watched as a black kitten jumped into the elderly women's lap and purr in content as she ran her fingers through its fur. She looked up at Sasuke in question.

"Sasuke-kun, dear, didn't you hear? Konoha announced the truth behind that horrible tragedy." His whole body froze in place, but his ears picked up every word Nekobaa spoke with a tender voice. "The elders of Konohagakure no Sato had kept it hidden from the fifth Hokage, but it seems she found out not to long ago, finding one of the third's 'secret' scrolls and all. She then announced what the elders did, to the whole Fire Country."

"Baa-chan, what… Did they say what the reason, behind my clan's massacre was? Why… Why did Itachi do it?" Even with his head down, Nekobaa knew Sasuke was in distress. She stood up and placed her hand on the Uchiha's shoulder, she felt as his body tensed even more and he looked up to meet her eyes.

"Dear, your clan, they were planning to take over Konoha. Itachi had been a spy for the Hokage. While the third Hokage tried to reason with them, they were still going to go through with it. The elders order Itachi to eliminate the Uchiha clan. Though Third Hokage did not want it to happen, Itachi had told him he would do the mission given to him by the elders. He knew if he didn't the elders would just hire someone else to do the job. He was supposed to eliminate everyone, but he failed the mission because…" Nekobaa sighed, and looked Sasuke straight into his teary eyes. "Because his beloved, Otouto lived."

Sasuke gasped, tears now streaming down his face, choking out sobs. He fell to the ground, and just before his world went black he felt multiple cats around his body and Baa-chan rubbing his back, as if trying to comfort the sobbing teen.

"Itachi-nii… You gave up your whole life, killed our family and became a missing nin just to save my life… I wanted to kill you for so long, to get revenge for our family, when along I should've been thanking you… Aniki… I love you and I WILL save you, we will become a family again. I know your heart must be hurting, just hold on a little longer!"

Now that he knew the truth, his feelings changed about Itachi. Now here he was trying to find Itachi, not to kill him but to make peace with him. Sasuke couldn't stop a lone tear from slipping down his face, as he thought about his Aniki, who did everything in his power to him, safe. To repay Itachi, all Sasuke did was hate him. His mind had just been clouded with too much pain and hurt, to realize how much Itachi was hurting…

He thought about when Itachi and him were younger, most had thought that Itachi was too busy to hang out with Sasuke. Yes there were times like that, but then there had been the times Itachi played with Sasuke and even on several occasions he had taken a nap with Sasuke, under a shady tree. And usually where Itachi was Shisui wasn't far behind.

Shisui and Itachi had a brotherly relationship. It was much more brotherly then his relationship with Itachi. He was jealous of Shisui but he knew that they understood each other, better than Sasuke ever could at that age.

-Flash Back-

He giggled as he hid from his elder brother. Running into a nearby bush, he stilled his laughter and tried to be silent, like a ninja would do… Unfortunately he had been found, Sasuke screeched, as he was pulled from his hiding spot, not by Itachi but by his cousin Uchiha Shisui. Sasuke saw Itachi land into the clearing, than smiling at the both of them, which some people had thought Itachi wasn't capable of.

"Hn. Otouto, it seems you have been captured by an evil shonbi. I shall save you." Itachi had proclaimed before going after Shisui, who had started jumping through the trees. Sasuke screamed, playfully, enjoying this time with his Aniki and Itoko. Glancing over Shisui's shoulder, he spotted Itachi hot on his trail and with one chakra induced leap, he landed on Shisui's back, being careful not to hurt Sasuke.

"Looks like you caught me, and won your Uke-chan back." Shisui smirked at Itachi's red face as Sasuke asked what he meant by 'Uke-chan'. Itachi tried to ignore the youngest asking the question, but it was hard to do with said person in your face, repeating the question multiple times, over and over; and had the most adorable, chibi, confused face.

"Sasuke, Sasuke!" Itachi said, placing his hands on his shoulders. "Please stop, I'll tell you when you're older…" Seeing Sasuke's unsure face, he put his pinky against Sasuke's own. "I promise you, Otouto. I Pinky promise you."

"Okaaayy, but you pinky promised so don't forget, Aniki!" Sasuke whirled out, with great aspiration. "You can't forget a pinky promise!"

Itachi smiled softly at the boy, he was so cute and he knew when Sasuke was older he would look quite handsome and sexy…

"Hey, little Sasuke, Guess what!" Shisui shouted in his ear. Sasuke turned around, hit Shisui, than asked what.

"Nuh-uh, you have to guess. But I'll give you a hint, it has to do with Itachi, you and lo-" Itachi put his hand over Shisui's mouth, cutting him off from finishing the 'hint'. "Hmmhmmm!"

Sasuke looked at him confused; it was hard to understand him with a hand over his mouth. Sasuke was pondering, trying to figure it out what Shisui was going to say, when he heard Itachi yelp as if someone had… Shisui bit Itachi's hand…

"ITACHI LOVES YOU, UKEY-CHAN!" Shisui shouted out and then ran away from the very angry Itachi. Itachi went to chase after his cousin, but Sasuke spoke up.

"Itachi, you love me?" asked the adorable chibi. Itachi sighed.

"Yes, Sasuke, I love you. I always have and always will." Sasuke looked up and grinned brightly, at Itachi. "More than a brother should…" whisper Itachi, his tone sullen. His brain hoped Sasuke didn't hear but his heart prayed for him to hear…

His heart won.

"Tachi… I love you more than a little brother should… I know you might not believ-" His voice had been cut off… by a pair of soft, moist lips. Itachi's lips, he had just given the younger boy a soft peck. Sasuke just looked at Itachi, smiling and kissed his lips back in reply. They snuggled into each other's arms, leaning against a big and old, but beautiful tree. They never noticed a grinning and very happy Shisui lingering in the trees nearby.

-Flash Back End-

Sasuke sighed, that was one of the best days of his life, how did he ever forget it? It had been hours since he woke up and left Nekobaa and her family. So far there was no one, he was beginning to think he would never make it Konohagakure no Sato.

Why was he going there? He thought that he would get Naruto to help him find Itachi. He knew if he went to someone else, they would turn him in. But Naruto, that dobe, would never do so and right now Sasuke was thankful for that.

How was he going to get in? The Uchiha have a secret tunnel, he was sure no one knew of it. Also his chakra was different when he woke up at the supply store… It was odd, if someone were to see or sense his chakra now, nobody would know it was him. Neither he nor Nekobaa could explain it.

'STOP!' his shonbi voice shouted out in his head.

"Someone is up there… Who is it?" he whispered out to no one but himself. "Oh my… It's… Itachi…" Sasuke's first feeling was shock, then excitement. He smirked and ran up to Itachi, who surprisingly didn't notice him.

Uchiha Itachi had graduated the academy at age seven, became a chunin at ten, then an ANBU captain at just thirteen years old, his whole clan had been proud of him. He should have felt ecstatic or at least a bit of emotion but he never did, unless he was around his Otouto. He never exhibited any type of emotion, so when he realized he was smiling… Well to say at the least he was overwhelmed… All these feelings were because… because… Sasuke kissed him…

Sasuke smirked to himself after pulling away, seeing Itachi's dazed face. He knew, that this had taken the elder by astonishment, 'Hn, he's probably thinking I'm on drugs or something… ha!' Sasuke thought with amusement. Pushing his body against Itachi's own, he leaned up and whispered in his ear.

"Itachi… Itachi, are you confused. Well don't be, I know Itachi… I know the truth, about our clan massacre." Wrapping his arms around the older Uchiha, "Aniki, you've been harboring all this pain, for Konoha and I, all on your own. I know you're hurting! Please let me help you…"

"Sasuke…" Itachi whispered out, his eyes held amazement and shock. Sasuke smiled, caringly at him.

"Aniki let me help you release the pain, I'll," reaching down he took hold of Itachi's hand, his thumb caressing it. "I'll do anything… Anything that you want… I'll kill the elders; I'll jump off a cliff, if you really wanted me to. I'll even give my body to you… Your wish is my command!"

Itachi stared at Sasuke with lust growing in his eyes. Sasuke saw this and blushed, though he didn't mind the look he was getting from his Aniki. Itachi ripped his arm away from Sasuke, and then he grabbed Sasuke's arms holding them behind his back. Sasuke, not expecting this, tried to get out of his grip and failed.

"Sasuke… I thought you said you'd do anything for me? Why are you trying to get away from me, love?" Itachi leaned down, his mouth so close to Sasuke's ear, that Sasuke could feel his breath. Sasuke stopped struggling, his heart ponding. Trying to keep his voice strong, he replied to the elder of the two.

"I'll do anything you want, Itachi, Anything!"

"I want you to submit to me…" Sasuke's heart rate sped up faster than before. Itachi sighed and released his arms. Before he spoke out, he wrapped his arms around Sasuke's waist, in a gentle manner, this time. "Sasuke I want you to be my lover… I don't want to fake your love for me; I want you to truthfully love me. Sasuke I've known since you were born, that I wanted you to be my partner, my forever. I wanted to grow older with you and have children."

Sasuke's eyes went wide, full of shock. "Itachi…" His voice was full of amazement; this had to be a really good dream… Itachi's voice broke him out of his day dream.

"I know it might take a while for you to love me back… But Sasuke will you please try… That's all I want from you… No… It's what I need, for you to love me…" A lone tear slid down his face. "I've been alone for so long, I miss the warmth of someone hugging me, telling me they love me!"

"Oh Itachi…" Sasuke hugged him, his face in Itachi's shoulder. "You'll never be alone again! I'll always be here from now on!" Sasuke looked up to his face, kissing his lips softly. "And I don't have to learn to love you… I remember that day back with Shisui; I already love you, Itachi."

Itachi looked down at his Otouto, tears of joy and happiness, running down both of their faces. Arms warped around each other, locked in eternal love.

= A Month Later =

Pink Sakura petals floated down, landing on his skin, while he and his lover lay against the back of the tree, snuggling. Everything was so peaceful, the wind was lightly blowing as the sun was setting, not only that but he was finally in the arms of his one true love, and no one was going to tear them apart, even if they're love was taboo. He had truly been happy for a month now and no one was going to take that away. He sighed, leaning back into his lovers soft arms.

"What's wrong, Sasuke?" Looking up where the handsome voice came from, Sasuke saw Itachi, looking at him with concern; Sasuke gave him a confused look. "You're Crying, Otouto…"

Reaching up he felt his face, wet with tears. He was confused, why he was crying; he didn't even know he started crying. Gasping lightly in realization of why, Sasuke replied to Itachi in a soft voice.

"I'm crying because I am so happy to be with you, Itachi! This month has been the first time I feel like my life is complete; I've never felt happier in my life! I... Itachi I love you. I love you so much..." Sasuke felt Itachi's soft lips on his own...

"His kisses," thought Sasuke. "are ones you could get lost in."

Itachi loved Sasuke too and while kissing him they most defiantly got into it, soon he was exploring Sasuke's mouth with his own tongue. He thought of many things that he could do to Sasuke with his tongue… Many thoughts of which were perverted, though among them were some that happened to be quite romantic. Unfortunately they had to breathe and pulled away, but continued to stare at each other with love in they're eyes.

"Sasuke, I love you too... If you couldn't tell with that kiss, which I did enjoy and I can see you did too!" Itachi smirked, looked down at the boy's south regions and then up at the blushing boy. Laughing as the younger boy tried to push him away, Itachi smiled than leaned up to whispered in Sasuke's ear.

"Truth is Sasuke, I really love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you..." He kissed Sasuke's neck, smiling as he gasped, than continued, "Sasuke… Will you marry me?" Sasuke nodded his head, yes, franticly. "Then I hope you realize, along with marriage comes you popping out man babies."

"ITACHI!" Sasuke yelled at him, laughing after hearing him say the man babies' part. Itachi laughed lighting and kissed Sasuke on the lips.

"I'm serious Sasuke… I have a Jutsu that will allow you to get pregnant. It will allow us to have a family…" Sasuke's eyes widened like a moon, he looked quite excited!

"Itachi, are you serious... We can make little us?" Itachi laughed at his little brother who was, over flowing with Joy at the thought of having children and being able to rebuild their clan. He had never saw Sasuke this Happy before, it was the most beautiful Itachi had ever seen. Running his fingers through Sasuke's hair in an attempt to calm him down from the excitement, he was shining with. "Itachi-i…" Sasuke strutted out.

"Sasy, calm down," Itachi said, laughing at the face Sasuke was making, hearing that nickname. "We can rebuild our clan, and make it right this time. We can have as many children as you want, though I would prefer ten girls and boys."

"Itachi… I don't think that's possible…" Sasuke said to Itachi, blushing red, Itachi just smirked.

"Hn. How about we try and find out if it's possible… I bet you would like the process, Little brother." Itachi moved his hands down to Sasuke's hips and around to his ass. Sasuke moaned loudly, making Itachi smirk even more… "Would you like for me to explain it?"

Sasuke turned bright red and looked at Itachi who had a small smirk on his face, "Think you could show me, instead?"

Itachi knew he was going to have Sasuke tonight and the next night and the next and the next… To say at the least he was going to have Sasuke for the rest of his life.
