A long dark cloak that blended in with its surroundings, only the red clouds distinguishing it from the darkness that surrounded them. Even with the neck of the cloak cover half of the face; Sasuke knew it to be the one that he used to call brother. A cold, emotionless voice rang in his ears as it called out silently to him, "Sasuke..." He lay there half on his knees and half on his chest; he hated how it seemed like he was bowing to his despicable older brother.
Itachi merely watched his fearful otouto, a wicked smirk forming on his features. Sasuke began to think the worst of the situation, if his brother was smiling then that would mean something dreadful was about or going to befall him. He was not sure but Sasuke thought that he heard the faintest sound of a chuckle as his brother spoke in an amused tone, "curiosity killed the cat otouto or should I say rabbit..." Sasuke stayed silent, how did he know that he was thinking about the rabbit. His thoughts from earlier were based on a rabbit that he had seen when he was younger, that was killed by a starving stray dog.
In a way, he was surprised that his Aniki...wait no, he would not call him that anymore...he didn't deserve the right to be called an older brother. His name was more along the lines of that fucking bastard that killed my family, remembered that incident from their childhood, more like from his childhood and that bastard's teen years.
As the fear of his aniki grew exponentially in its insensity, his mind focused on his main problems at the moment. How he was bound by his wrist, how he was so vulnerable at the moment, it was overwhelming him. Itachi spoke in an almost silent voice. He voiced the warnings that were to late to avoid, "if you hadn't gone down that path, you wouldn't have been attacked...if you had accepted Kakashi's offer to walk you home, you would have been safe and not been in this situation." Sasuke's mind was screaming for him to move, to get as far away from him as possible but he couldn't move, at least, not yet...he felt like his body at that moment was frozen in place.
"Aren't you going to thank me otouto...?"
His words, they weren't an actual question per say; it was more a statement that had gotten the reaction he wanted from Sasuke. For a mere moment, all fear was gone and Sasuke barked "w-what the hell are you talking about!" That wicked smirk widened, slowly moving closer to his fearful and at the moment, angry otouto as he stated in a calm, cool tone, "I was the one that saved you from your captives before."
Sasuke stared at him blankly, how was he to expect Sasuke to believe that he had actually saved him...though much to Sasuke's own misfortune he knew it to be true. He refused to acknowledge it but Itachi was indefinitely telling the truth, Sasuke had almost forgotten about that figure that had attacked his former captor. It really did make actual sense, for the person was trying to save him, he knew that now but only Itachi would bind him if he had rescued him.
The anger he felt was no longer seen, keeping mostly to himself, he murmured in an almost inaudible voice "that person was you..."
"Yes dear otouto...though you may have been safer with them..."
Sasuke cringed to the thought of how much danger he was in at the moment, though he did not wish to show it even if he was failing miserably. He now felt like a wild beast who's every instinct was telling him that he was about to be harmed fataly, Itachi continued with the warnings that he had been speaking of earlier "if you hadn't opened these doors, you would have been spared...if you hadn't ran; I wouldn't have chased you...now you have nowhere to go."
Sasuke mind was distracted, more than he should have been considering his position at the moment. He had to focus, his brother getting closer by the second, closing the gap between them. Sasuke wasn't going to just let him walk up to him, as much as he hated to admit it, he was genuinely scared, fearful, terrified for his life. Not only because of how his aniki was there, taunting him but the location, of all places, he had to meet his nii-san, no this bastard in this place, where it all started.
The only clear thought he had was 'so after all these years i'm still afraid of death.'
Despite his bindings, he forced himself to get on his feet, nearly falling back down but keeping his balance, before Itachi had reached him, before he had the chance to touch him.
He wouldn't let himself go willingly, not while he had a single breath within his living body. That dangerously amused look on Itachi's face, he couldn't take it, with whatever strength and balance he had, Sasuke ran through the streets of the old Uchiha compound desperately trying to flee this place. What he despised the most at the moment ws that Itachi was still taunting him, he shouldn't have been able to run, that man was toying with him. He knew he wouldn't get away but as the scared little rabbit that he was, he refused to give in, he would not stop unless he was forced to.
He ran, he didn't care where he was going, as long as he was as far away from Itachi as possible. He was scared to be honest but there was another reason he had for running away from his nii-san, a secret he held, one that his parents, friends or other family members had never been able to get out of him. One that even Itachi knew if Sasuke spoke of, Sasuke, no both of them would die.
The very thought sickened him to his stomach; he couldn't keep his focus on his situation at hand again, until it was to late. Itachi appeared suddenly, without warning in front of him causing the younger of the two to accidentally impinge into him. Sasuke was about to run away again when he was grabbed by his neck with one hand, another gripped his chin, forcing him to look into the superior of the two's eyes. Sasuke's eyes widened as he stared into the now swirling sharingan in his brothers eyes and felt himself blackout for a moment and his vision returned mere seconds later only for him to find...
