Naruto,
I can't believe you got that! I'm happy you're alive. I saw you being attacked by some of Orochimaru's henchmen an thought you died. You wouldn't believe me if I told you I spent the whole night crying. I miss you and I thank kami that you're alright. Pleased to see that you got my message and realized that the only way I could get this was by sending it back with the guy I sent it with. That poor soul, he died last night from the seal on his shoulder. I guess he couldn't take it. I can't wait to see you, tonight I'm leaving on a journey to find my brother. I will not be with Orochimaru for the time being and will stop by Kohona. Will you come see me? In exactly ten days time I will wait for you outside the gates of Kohona waiting. Please come see me. I love you.
Uchiha. S
Sasuke sat back onto the wall he was leaning against, re-reading his letter. He couldn't believe he put so much emotion into this. What was Naruto doing to him? He's becoming all...emotion like. That couldn't happen. He had to find his brother and destroy him. This required him to have no feeling whatsoever. Did he just ask Naruto to meet him? No. That would be impossible. He would have henchmen all around him the entire time he was there. He couldn't just spend some random time with an old buddy of his. He would have to get rid of the nuisances of his henchmen...but how?
The determined ravens spent the rest of the day, well finding a new messenger boy, and find a way to kill all his followers.
'I guess I could always kill them by myself...or I could find Itachi kill him..THEN kill all my little followers. Either way their gonna die. Might as well be me who beats the crap outa them...yah. That's what I'll do.' Silently he chuckled to himself.
On the day a certain blond received the letter of his boyfriend's re-appearance in the world he almost died. (A/N: Not literally, but you know I mean...oh god..For JOY people...Common!) He had come home late after a mission and was wasted form the experience. He fell slumped over on his couch as he proudly looked at his brand new ANBU tattoo when a man dressed in all black came to Naruto's window. Being the great shinobi he was he noticed the sudden change of chakra levels and grabbed a kunai from his pack. Leaving everything else on the floor, he snuck to the window to greet his 'guest' and with a small gust he was holding his prisoner to the side of his apartment.
"Who are you and what do you want?!?" Naruto was getting irritable, his lover hadn't replied to him and he was getting worried something happened. Sasuke would never miss an opportunity!
"I'm here to deliver a letter for a mister Teme Sasuke. To a mister Dobe Naruto. I presume that's you. You're the only idiot blond I've seen around." The ninja smirked.
"Why you-Wait! TEME! Give me the letter!"
"I don't know I didn't really appreciate you smothering me with your big ugly hands."
"How about this, you give me the letter and I won't killyou with me 'big ugly hands'"
"DEAL!" Upon reading the letter he was immensely excited. He hadn't seen his beloved Sasuke in over three years and this could really be the one time he sees him before something bad happened. To him the darkness of winter that the infamous ice prince had left in his quake was letting up. The frost bit that cover Naruto heart was warming up once again. Beating to its same old rhythm. A change in pace was all he needed if he didn't want to die in the cold.
Immediately pulling up another scroll and starting on his letter to Sasuke he made it quick and short but still over flowing with feeling.
Teme
I've missed you so much. I am looking forward to seeing you again. Please hurry, I have lots to give you. Or I should say lots to take.
Dobe
Smiling Sasuke read the tinny letter over and over again. The mushy smell of Naruto still lingered on the parchment. Turning over to the messenger boy with his usual mask on again.
"you will not tell Orochimaru-sama that I sent a letter, nor I got one in return. If you do I will hunt you down with my sword and kill you myself."
"What do I get out of this."
"Your life." Sasuke made no attempt to make himself sound scary or life-threatening. He already was. At this the boys tanned hands slid to his face and brushed his cheek.
"Fine. But, if you expect me to keep my mouth shut to the rest of the world-"
"let me rephrase this, If Orochimaru-sama finds out...at all. You will not see your 20th birthday." The boy finally getting the message allowed his eyes to grow to the size of saucers. Walking away in a slight daze. Satisfied Sasuke headed towards the place where he had heard his Nii-san was away hiding.
The journey was long but bearable. Knowing what he had waiting for him at home he could deal. ' Naruto..Naruto...Naru-sama...Naru-chan..MY Naru-chan...Hn...I like that." He was getting close. The feel of a powerful chakra was overcoming him. 'Perfect...' His smirk appeared on his face as a faceless ninja appeared behind him in a flash.
"Hn..." Sasuke stood rooted to the spot acting cool as to not draw attention to his now raging feeling of hate and love.
"Otouto, what a nice surprise. I wasn't expecting you for at least another three days. I'm guessing you hurried to see you beloved. Have you forgotten? Uchiha's are to never show emotion. To love is as to betray."
"You're the one to talk about betrayal. The one to kill our entire clan. The only thing I had in this world."
"Yes, at the time. But if it weren't for me, you never would have grown close to that Uzumaki boy." Sasuke's eyes grew the slightest bit in realization that Itachi knew of his secret love.
"How could you know that at the time though. That is what I don't forgive you for."
"I saw you cry out him name whilst you slept otouto. You are as much of a sinner as I. Although I don't blame your hatred towards myself and Orochimaru. How everything we have done has take you away from your love that scrawny idiot of ninja...You hate me the most now. That is why now I know you can defeat me. Now I will allow you to fight me."
"Bastard...how dare you say things like that to me. I swear if you say anything more about me or my Naruto-"
"Oh! So now he's your Naruto...how very idiotic of you. Silly Otouto. I thought you had really changed for the better...I really thought you had overcome feeling and emotions to surpass me. However no as I stare at you through these week eyes of mine, all I can see is a pathetic little boy. Just like all those years ago."
"Stop it." Sasuke's head was about to explode and even though he didn't show it on the outside
"Hn...I think not. Just to push you over the edge and kill me already. I've been waiting long enough." At this Sasuke jumped behind Itachi in the blink of an eye. Even though before they were several meters away. "I guess I can't beat you in speed. Maybe wit..." Itachi dug a Kunai behind him as he threw several more at the other dodging Uchiha. Whilst Sasuke dodged yet another round of Kunai and Sherieken Itachi used the families fire techniques.
Hours later in a deep crevice in the ground stood the Uchiha of life. The one that stood out. He was the stronger of the two and he had to be...Didn't he?
Itachi lay on the floor a true smile riddled his face as he spat out his last words "Sasu...ke...You...Did...it...You became...the ninja Naruto needs you to be. Now you can save...save his from Orochimaru and his people..go..now...and have you love..." With that his eyes shut and his head tilted away. Sasuke couldn't believe what he had done. Not only that, but he was dying. His wounds were too much, damn Itachi...Itachi. Hot tears of anger and hurt streamed down his grime and blood covered face.
"Why...I still don't understand Nii-san. Why did I have to kill you. You the only one I had left, blood related. You were my Nii-san and I always loved you because of that. I wish you could live to see my children. I wish I could show you a life were neither of us had to die to become happy. I love You Nii-san." Sasuke stood with his head drooping down to show respect for his brother. He buried the body and took a simple souvenir to always remember his beloved brother by. His necklace that he had had since he was young. In fact as Sasuke went back that far to remember he recalled that he himself had given to him for Itachi's thirteenth birthday. But to truly redeem himself he wrote a letter...
Nii-san,
You were there for me while I was blind. I opened my eyes for the first time tonight. The very night you died...Your life destroyed by the one I hate the most. I can live with myself though. As long as my heart is held safely in the hands of my dearest Naruto. You really should of met him. You would approve. His golden blond hair and deep blue, azure eyes would of baffled you. You would of liked him. I know you would of. Maybe one day we will be together again and I will not only tell you of all the adventures I had with him, I will show him to you. Let you gaze into his never ending eyes. Lets you see how someone like me could of fallen deeply in love with him. See you in the next life nii-san.
Forever yours,
Otouto
Lifting his letter of regret and love to the heavens he knew his brother dwelled he lit it on fire. The ashes drifting away in the cold nights breeze. A sudden chill ran over him as he realized his next step.
Get back Naruto.
