A Brother's Duty

By: Silverwolf

Itachi sits at his desk studying. He hears Madara enter the room. "Itachi I though you should know your brother is currently in trouble again." Itachi makes a face, "ot surprised." The younger Uchiha returns to his book. "What did he do this time?"

Madara makes a face, "he was charged with vandalism. I don't havethe details. Your friend might since her family now he him there." Itachi blinks a moment, "could you repeat that?"

"He's charged with vadalism." Itachi waves his hand, "not that, the last part." Madara sighs a moment, "he's currently ctaying with your lady friend." Itachi makesa face as if trying to figure out what what meant by those words. Madara shakes his head, "call the damn girl all ready. She'd have the whole story."

Itachi makes a face, "I'm not calling anyone. Though maybe you should call my father and find out what he knows." Madara looks at Itachi annoyed. The younger Uchiha was acting stubborn. Itachi returns to studying.

Madara makes sighs, "Itachi, just call the girl." Itachi rises from the desk with narrowed eyes, "you keep saying that, but how am I supposed to know what girl you're talking about?" The younger Uchiha leaves his room annoyed.

"Call Inuzuka. He's with her damn family." Itachi looks at Mardara, "I'm not calling her. Call my father." Itachi sighs and wanders through the shouse avoiding any farther discussions. He wasn't about to ask Hana about Sasuke. He wasn't even supposed to know Sasuke had gotten into trouble. After all he was supposed to the on the side line when it came to his brother. But after he'd been sent to live somewhere all Sasuke had done was gt into trouble. Fights in school had gotten him kicked out of a few. Itachi was surprised he hadn't skipped on on taking his finals for last year with all the trouble he'd been into.

It was rare not to hear of Sasuke being in trouble. Part of Itachi figured it was just him being a teenager, though maybe there was more it than that. Maybe Sasuke caused trouble because of how he felt about life.

It was true that their father paraded the pair around as the perfect children. At least in the beginning, now Itachi was pretty certain he acted as if he only had one son, and that was after Itachi had decided to give up on keeping the earring.

It was just something to make his father angry anyway. There wasn't a point to it other than that. Though Itachi should've called Hana to discovered what'd happened with Sasuke. He felt with not living at his birth home was was neglecting his younger brother and not doing his duty as an older brother.

Then again at sixteen it was late to try to govern over Sasuke. After all Itachi knew his parents all ready did that. Though he wondered what exactly was goind on with Sasuke he couldn't bring himself to do exactly as he'd been told. Call Hana to ask questions.

Itachi sighs and leaves the house. He'd stated he wouldn't call Hana. He had never stated he wouldn't just drop by her house to hang out. Maybe he could discover what was happening from there.
