Now, Itachi really was no idiot. He knew all of Sasuke's friends and every place they hung out at. He even read the few entries in Sasuke's journal. The only thing Itachi didn't know was his motives for everything he's done. So Itachi began his quest to Sasuke's favorite place to linger; the C.V.S. On the way there, he happened to run into a very close friend of Sasuke.
"Well, Gaara, what are you up to?"
"Oh, Itachi."
"I take it you're coming from the C.V.S?"
"What does it matter to you?" Gaara snapped.
"Because my brother is missing and the first person he would go to is to you behind a select location."
"You're annoying. I have nothing to do with your motives."
"Just tell me where Sasuke went and you're free to go."
"I'm already free to go." Gaara took a few steps forward until Itachi grabbed the back of his shirt.
"Where the hell is he?"
"He's no where Itachi, don't you get it? He doesn't like you. That's why he wears nothing but black. He wants to piss you off for all the times you pissed him. And for the sheer fact that he likes the style. So maybe he's got some of the ideals that fit into a typical "emo"(or whatever you stereotypical bastards call it) but he's not a poser. So what makes you think I'll tell you his exact location when this is his choice?"
"Fine." Itachi found there was no use in fighting, especially with Gaara. Itachi was surely on his own. But how far could Sasuke possible go before he was caught? Itachi even doubted he would spend two days out on the streets. I'll find him and drag him home, whether he likes it or not. And with that last um… slightly "encouraging" remark he set out for the Drug Mart. Where else would Sasuke go?
