Chapter 2

Itachi's POV

I sighed; it was about time for Sasuke to enter the academy. It had only been a year since Sasuke had been able to go outside and I was a little worried. Sasuke was strong, I would know, I taught him, but that didn't change the fact that I was still worried.

Otosan had finally let me train by myself a little after Sasuke was able to go outside. I trained by myself, but I also helped him train. Sasuke was a good learner, he quickly learned the Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu and he learned the Katon: Goryuka no Jutsu. I was impressed to say the least and so was Otosan. If I didn't know he didn't I would have thought he had the sharingan, but with how quickly he's progressing I wouldn't be surprised if he awakens it soon. After Sasuke showed Otosan the Katon: Goryuka no Jutsu he accepted Sasuke as a son.

"Nii-san, get to start the academy tomorrow, I'm so excited." Sasuke yelled, as he ran over to me.

I tried to smile, but it ended up making me look like I was pissed off.

"Nii-san, what's wrong?" Sasuke said looking at me, obviously concerned.

"Nothing it's just that now that you'll be busy with homework and me with mission, I won't get to spend as much time with you." I replied, giving him a sad smile.

"Well …I'd like to be able to spend more time with you too, but think about how mad Otosan would get if he found out I didn't want to be a ninja." Sasuke whispered, looking at the ground.

"I know, I'm just a little sad, because we won't be able to spend as much time together." I said, lifting his face up so he could look into my eyes.

"But as long as we can spend time together sometimes it won't be that bad." Sasuke said. "All I need is these little moments when we can spend time together and I'll be happy." Sasuke whispered.

"I will be too." I agreed.

"Sasuke, Itachi time for dinner." Mikoto called.

As we were eating dinner a knock sounded at the door.

Okasan stood up and opened the door.

"Itachi, Shisui's at the door." She said.

I stood up and walked over to the door.

"Itachi, we need to talk." Shisui said.

"We're eating dinner right now, can't it wait." I asked trying to keep the anger out of my voice.

'Damn it, what was he doing here? This was dangerous, not only for him, but for me as well. Damn it Madara what are you planning? I just have to hope Mikoto doesn't invite him in, because Fugaku will probably be able to see through his disguise, or is this his way of making me doing what he wants?'

"Then how about I come in until you can talk with me." 'Shisui' said smiling.

I frowned, "How about I just talk to you now?"

"Very well, let's go." Shisui said walking off. I sighed and followed.

As soon as we were out of the Uchiha district I pinned him against the tree.

"Just what the fuck did you think you were doing?!" I demanded.

"I was getting you to talk to me, you don't want to get caught and neither do I, but I know you'd come with me if I threatened, because I can disappear into thin air and you can't.

I frowned, that was true.

"What'd you want to talk to me about?" I asked letting the branch I had grabbed go, I had never grabbed him in the first place.

"How close you are with your family, you're supposed to be weakening those bonds not making them stronger." 'Shisui said narrowing his eyes.

This was a little weird seeing as how the real Shisui was always happy, it was like he had sunshine coming out of his ass.

"Why can't I make them stronger? It should be fine as long as I don't let that get in the way of our mission that we're probably going to have to do." I replied bitterly.

"Itachi I know you having bonds with them will become a problem, you need to start breaking them, especially the one with your brother." 'Shisui said, glaring at me.

I swallowed how could I hurt Sasuke? Sasuke was precious to me, but Madara was right if I didn't start cutting off the bond I had with Sasuke I wasn't going to be able to go through with killing him.

"But what if we don't have to kill them?" I asked I knew this was pointless; there was no way I would win an argument against Madara.

"Itachi the Uchiha are arrogant bastards they are never going to change, so you should start breaking those bonds." He demanded.

"But if they do change," I tried again.

"If they do change which it is nearly impossible they will then you should be able to fix them and if you can't fix them you never should've had those bonds in the first place." He said.

I nodded, "You shouldn't have came disguised as Shisui, he's going to be stopping by later, I have a mission." I said.

"How long will this mission take?" He asked looking at me.

I looked away from his eyes and replied, "About two days."

"Ok, but I want to see you, as soon as I come back… or I'll come and get you again." He said

I nodded and left.

When I arrived home, I got no welcome back hug from Sasuke. I sighed he must have been put to bed already.

"Otosan, Okasan I have a mission that I need to go on, so I won't be back for two days." I told them after I finished eating.

"You better go pack then," Fugaku said. I nodded and went upstairs.

I was a little upset that I couldn't say goodbye to Sasuke, but I didn't want to wake him p and I wanted to find Shisui before he came to get me. It would avoid a very awkward explanation.

I left the moment I was done packing and knocked on Shisui's door.

His mother Kasumi answered the door.

"Itachi, what are you doing here?" She asked giving me a warm smile.

"I came to pick up Shisui up, so we can go on our mission." I replied.

"I see, I'll go get him," She said, walking off to go get her son.

"Hi Itachi," the always bubbly Shisui greeted me.

"Hi Shisui, are you ready to go?" I asked my friend, giving him a slight smile.

"Yeah, I'm ready, but why so tense?" Shisui asked a look of concerning gracing his features.

"I'm not tense just a little upset, I didn't get to say goodbye to Sasuke before I left." I said quietly.

"Lighten up Itachi, we'll be back soon," He smiled at me.

I nodded we went off to go get our last member.
