Here goes chapter 2! :P

Sasuke was walking home from school, thinking about his nii-san as usual.

Today, he would finally say it. Tell Itachi the truth, that he was in love with him as well. Two days had gone since he found the fateful note in his brother's room and he couldn't wait anymore. The raven-haired smiled to himself. Nii-san. You mean everything to me.

When he finally reached his home he saw that Itachi was talking to someone.

Itachi and the stranger hadn't seen him; they were standing at the porch in front of the house. The stranger was a woman, with a strange white appearance. Everything with her seemed white – her dress, her long hair and her skin although her hair had a faint purple shade. Sasuke became curious. He hid behind some bushes, masked his chakra and listened.

"The times have changed" he heard Itachi say. "You've got what you wanted. Now leave the village."

The strange woman shook her head. It was something uncomfortably with her presence. "No, I'm not satisfied yet. Itachi-kun, I'm sure you haven't forgotten. We made a deal and I expect you to keep your word…"

Itachi seemed annoyed. "I won't allow you to get near Sasuke."

Sasuke listened closely. Why where they talking about him?

"You know it's not him I'm craving for anymore", she said, moved closer to Itachi and placed one of her slender hands on his shoulder. Sasuke watched terrified, what the fuck was going on?

Itachi didn't move.
"We still made an agreement", the woman continued. A threatening tone slipped into her voice. "As you already helped me and sacrificed the blood of the Uchiha… It's not enough, you know it."

Itachi nodded.

Sasuke's eyes were wide. How did Itachi know this woman? What did she mean? 'Helped me and sacrificed the blood of the Uchiha'… Had Itachi helped to kill their parents?

When he used to ask Itachi about what happened to their parents, Itachi would answer: They passed away many years ago. Sasuke had always trusted his brother completely, but now he was unsure. He knew that his brother was strong enough to kill grown-ups before he even was ten years old. It wasn't impossible… What if Itachi was the cause of their parent's death? Sasuke couldn't remember them but if that was the case… He couldn't even think about it. Would he ever be able to forgive Itachi then?

And Itachi had never socialized with girls before… that made everything worse for Sasuke. Actually, he couldn't stand it when he saw Itachi talk for more than five minutes with somebody else than him. Itachi was his and nobody else's, for the love of God!

The world stopped when he saw the woman lean forward, place her hands on Itachi's arms, and nuzzle their faces together.

Sasuke thought that he was going to get a heart attack. How could Itachi be with somebody else than him this way? Hadn't he read in Itachi's note just the other day, how much Itachi wanted to be with him, only him?

They didn't pull apart; Itachi didn't try to break their loose embrace, as he always did when the fangirls attacked. He and the woman just stood there, like they were a couple or something.

Sasuke had seen enough. He turned around and began to run away, turned his back against everything and everybody. He stumbled forward when he couldn't run anymore for the pain in his chest as the heat – heat of rage, fear and shock – whirled within him as a heavy thunderstorm. He'd always been afraid of thunder.

It couldn't be true; that Itachi had found a love interest in a scary-looking girl he'd never seen before. But at the same time, Sasuke had seen with his own eyes. He even felt Itachi's chakra, so he knew it couldn't be an illusion. It felt as his heart was shattered in a thousand pieces.

.

"As you already helped me and sacrificed the blood of the Uchiha… It's not enough, you know it."
Itachi nodded, his gaze stayed fierce. He didn't move – he knew he couldn't - when she leaned forward, placed her hands on his arms, gripped tightly.

As her face in fake affection come closer to his, he could feel the sharp pain when she cut his skin with razors that were hidden under her palms. To disguise the violent action to look as they were just an ordinary couple, she stayed close to Itachi as she continued to take blood from him. He let his face stay expressionless.

She discretely collected his crimson fluid in a small glass bottle and swiftly hid the razors and the bottle in her dress pocket.
"Thanks, Itachi-kun. This is just what I need…" she mumbled.

Itachi examined the short, narrow cuts on his arms, from which fresh blood still poured out. It would be quite easy to conceal – though he'd lost a big amount of blood.

.

Sasuke sat alone in his room, curled up on the bed with his arms around his legs. He rested his head against his knees and tried to shut out the pain. He'd never felt like this before, the pain he felt in his heart was so strong that he almost couldn't feel his body anymore. His mind was floating freely, flowed around him. Memories fluttered around in his head and tears gathered in his eye corners. Furiously, he tried to wipe them away.

He just couldn't let go of Itachi. He just couldn't live without him, it was impossible. He couldn't share his brother with somebody else, no matter who it was. And… what if Itachi downright was the person that killed their mother and father? Would he ever be able to forgive him then? Sasuke hated being an orphan, even though he enjoyed to be alone with Itachi, he wanted a real family now and then.

If I only knew, he thought. In all my life, I've been sure about everything. But now... First I don't know if I'm in love with you or not, and now I even doubt my love as a brother for you, nii-san. I used to know so well…
Everything was so clear. But now… are you my enemy?

A knock on the door. "Sasuke, are you in there?"

Sasuke was grateful that he had locked the door. He couldn't show Itachi this fragile side of himself, the side that was frail as glass. He didn't answer.

"Otouto! What's wrong?" Itachi asked concerned from the other side of the door. Sasuke never used to behave like this.

"Go away", Sasuke muttered.

A short silence. "Sasuke, answer", the elder demanded. "Are you hurt?"

Sasuke shook his head defying, but realized that his brother couldn't see him and snapped: "Leave me alone!"
He'd never been so rude to his aniki before, he just felt so hurt and abandoned.

Sasuke heard that his brother gave in and walked away. His eyes filled with tears. I'm sorry nii-san… but why did you do it?

"I'm sure your nii-san didn't mean anything with it, Sasuke-chan." The voice that suddenly filled the room was calm and amused. Sasuke gave a start. Shocked he looked up at the woman beside him. It was her, the strange young woman Itachi met before.

Her complex was like snow, her hair long and faint violet. Her eyes shimmered in purple.
"You!" Sasuke gasped. "What the hell are you doing here? How did you get in?"

The woman shrugged. "I thought I'd have a talk with you. And don't bother to ask me more petty questions like 'how do you know my name' and such. Okay?"

"Well, what are you doing with my aniki, to begin with?" Sasuke exclaimed, ignored the advice.

"I thought I said that I was the one having a talk with you, ne?" She smiled wryly.

"So to begin with, Sasuke-chan" - Sasuke scowled at the girlish honorific – "I'm here because of an issue with the Uchiha Clan. You know you belong to that clan, don't you?" Sasuke nodded, hesitantly.

"Well, I've been here before – I was send here to Konoha in order to resolve a certain thing…"

A hard knock on the door.
"Okay, this is it. Sasuke, open the door or I'll break it." Itachi's impatient and worried voice was heard.

The woman beside Sasuke snickered. "He can't be without you, can he?" she asked Sasuke. Before he could answer, she swiftly moved to the door and unlocked it.

Itachi stormed into the room, ready to hug Sasuke tightly and ask him what was going on, but instead he almost collided with the woman.

"…Yumiko? What are you doing here?"

The next second, Itachi saw his little brother sit on the bed with a heartbroken look on his face.
Sasuke didn't know what to do. So it was true. Itachi knew this girl.

"Sasuke! Are you all right, otouto?" Itachi rushed forward to Sasuke. Sasuke didn't look at him.

"His life is not in danger or something, I was just talking to him", Yumiko said, annoyed by the elder's protectiveness.

"I told you to not go near Sasuke!" Itachi spat. "Stay away from him!"

"Itachi-kun, I would watch my mouth if I were you. There's no need to be so impolite just because I encroach on you and your dear brother's personal space, ne…"

Itachi stood in front of Sasuke, his eyes firm and red with the Sharingan. "As I told you before, even if you have the upper hand right now, I'm stronger than you. I'm not like I was ten years ago. Don't underestimate me…" he said.

Yumiko shook her head, so that her white-violet long hair billowed around her pale face. "Whatever you say, Itachi-kun." She didn't show the slightest trace of fear. "I'm leaving now, but we'll meet again." With that, she simply jumped out through Sasuke's window and disappeared.

Itachi let his Sharingan fade and slowly turned back to Sasuke. Sasuke still refused to look at him.
"Speak to me otouto", Itachi said. "Say something. I need to hear your voice, before I go mad."

Sasuke slowly raised his head.

"…Explain to me", he whispered. His voice rose. "Tell me what the fuck is going on! Who is she? Do you two have a relationship? Did you kill our parents?"

Itachi looked shocked. He kneeled by the bed, facing Sasuke.

"Otouto… I don't know yet what's safe to say and what's not. But one thing I can assure you from the bottom of my heart. I only love one person in this world, and that's you."

Sasuke stared at him, still disbelieving and upset. Itachi felt panic rise in his heart. What if Sasuke didn't believe him? "Please, Sasuke", he begged. "Trust me. I can't tell you what's going on yet, because I'm not sure myself, but I promise that I won't let it affect our relationship, or harm you in any way. Can you believe in that, otouto?"

Sasuke met his older brother's eyes that were filled with so much concern and affection. He couldn't stand seeing Itachi this desperate and sad. And he knew that he was the cause of it.

He threw his arms around his brother's neck and hugged him tightly, sobbed against his shirt. Itachi wrapped his arms around him just as tight and they shared a comforting hug.

"I'm sorry nii-san… I didn't mean to… ignore you and all that…" Sasuke trembled in Itachi's embrace. Itachi kissed his forehead softly. "It's okay, otouto, don't worry. I know I've said this to you a thousand times already, but - I'm here."

"Don't leave me, nii-san" the younger of the two said suddenly. Itachi looked at Sasuke. How on earth could the kid even speak of something like that? It was absurd. His love for Sasuke was so strong that he couldn't bear it sometimes. Sasuke was heaven, earth, air and water for Itachi and nothing could ever change that. Was it even possible to love somebody so much as Itachi did? Sometimes it even hurt to be so close to his little brother…

"I won't leave you, otouto. Not as long as I'm alive, I can promise you that. Not even after my death…"

.

Sasuke laid on his bed, staring at the ceiling. He smiled to himself. He was happy now when he knew that Itachi didn't let him down, that he just wanted to protect him. Still, he didn't know why that woman had showed up out of nowhere or what she wanted of them. But he had decided that he would trust his brother, like always, and forget their past and her for a bit. Right now, it didn't matter what happened to their parents, he was just so grateful to still have Itachi by his side.

And that reminded him of… how hopelessly devoted he was to his brother. He wanted to kiss his aniki so badly, to caress that godlike face, place his hands in his hair and pull his fingers through it, kiss him and hug him in more ways than just brotherly… oh, he wanted it so bad.

Why are you hesitating? he mentally scolded himself. If Nii-san feels the same…
With a smile on his face and new hope in his heart, Sasuke went downstairs to his brother.

"Nii-san?"

"Yes, otouto?" Itachi looked up from the book he was reading.

"I wonder… how come there are things that you really want but can't have?"

The elder looked surprised and amused. "What do you mean, otouto?"

Sasuke's cheeks adopted a slight pink colour. "You know…" he stammered. "Things that… you want more than anything else..."

Itachi chuckled and gently stroked Sasuke's cheek. That blush was so delicate, he couldn't help it. "Foolish little otouto", he said lovingly. "Are you trying to tell me that we have no more tomatoes?"

"No, I'm serious, nii-san", Sasuke said sharply, his blush increased. Itachi guessed what his little brother was trying to say, but pretended to not understand just to see Sasuke's cute frustration.

Sasuke pouted. "I mean… why do I only want the thing I can't have? I…"

Itachi smirked. "Are you sure that you cannot have it? What if things aren't as you think?"

Sasuke sighed deeply. "I know it's impossible, nii-san…"

"Come here", Itachi said and gestured to Sasuke like he always did when he would poke his forehead. Sasuke immediately sat down beside his brother on the couch, but he got no poke. Instead his brother placed his arm around his shoulders. Itachi smiled tenderly. "What exactly is it you want, otouto?"

Now Sasuke blushed crimson red. A sign that he had a very special thing in mind, Itachi knew.

"Well, you see… it's… a person that I like…" Sasuke looked down in his lap, embarrassed.

"And you don't know if this certain somebody feels the same?" Itachi continued, a tender and amused smile still played on his lips. His adorable little brother shook his head. "It's not that, exactly..."

"What if your nii-san can make it possible for you? So you can have it?"

Sasuke looked up shocked, his eyes wide with surprise. "Aniki… I…"

But his words were suddenly cut off when Itachi leaned forward and caught his lips in a soft kiss.

The world stopped for a moment. Sasuke gasped in shock, but didn't pull back. Instead, he let Itachi gently grip his hair and pull him closer to the elder, and their kiss deepened, filled with more love and passion by each second.

Sasuke stared wide-eyed at his beloved older brother, and he felt tingles through his body when he met Itachi's confident, affectionate gaze. Finally his nii-san pulled back and they stared at each other, gasping for air. Sasuke's heart beat so fast that it nearly hurt.

"How… did you know?" he gasped.

Itachi smiled. "It was quite obvious, otouto. The way your cheeks always turns red when you're looking at me…" He gently kissed Sasuke's face.

Sasuke pouted, and he was so cute at that moment that Itachi was overwhelmed with his love and adoration for his him. There was nothing cuter, more adorable than Sasuke in moments like this - how his black eyes shone in that perfect little face, how the blush on his cheeks made him look nearly edible, how his tempting little mouth smiled in a certain way that Itachi made Itachi lost thought of everything else. He felt a twinge of possessiveness, placed his younger brother in his lap and wrapped his arms around his torso.

"And besides that, otouto…" He nuzzled his face against Sasuke's neck, "you can have it. You can have it as much as you want, because your Nii-san feels the same."

Sasuke smiled like a child that got to know that Christmas would be coming extra early. "I love you, aniki."

Itachi reached up and kissed him passionately on the lips again. "Love you too, little brother. More than anything else."

Author's Note: I just want to make one thing clear. Yumiko is not a vampire, just so you know.
Anyway, please tell me what you think about the story so far! I love reviews!
