Chapter Four
Like the reincarnation of past spirits,the Sharingan displayed it's power through the filament of burning red. The Byakugan plastering disinterest to the bloom of hatred incorporated in those eyes.
"Another traitor has appeared..."
A blade caressing his skin emanating the smell of death so close to his neck. His eyes prostrated their attention to those orbs, so observant to the misery in those pupils. Tracing a fantasy where his katana furiously cut off the head of Neji Hyuuga.
"Those eyes..." Every move of his mouth made the sharp metal of that katana to aspire the touch of his neck. Sasuke's eyes restricting the desire to silence his mouth by slicing his throat. But, both of them knew he would allow the young Hyuga to murmur his words. "The eyes of the traitors..."
A seductive invitation to insult and slaughter. The use of sarcasm to provoke the Uchiha. There was no compensation. The Uchiha maintained his focus on the same person that the Hyuuga had intention of facing. The mere display of a serene facade, and rigid muscles motioned to demonstrate the intension of pursuing a kill. That was all the reaction he was going to get from Sasuke.
"That petulant essence is his."
"Seems that tracking your enemies is a especiality you pocess..." The mocking smirk in the Hyuuga priced the young Uchiha with the reminder of his failure when it came to catch and destroy his enemy. "But, when your prey is before your eyes it becomes your ridicule as you watch him escape..."
"I'm getting tired of your stupid play of words,Hyuuga..."
His hands remained in hold of his sword. The Hyuuga's blood decorating the silver metal.
"I have not interest in whatever conversation you held with my brother. Neither I promise to secure your life after you answer..." The closure of his words ended in what Neji had expected to hear from the young Uchiha. "Where did Itachi go?"
Both held silence, their words simply displaying the talent of mediocrity, the youth of two fools playing with words. A childish game of immature egos.
Itachi's name escorted the delusion of the encounter Neji had held. His mouth silenced by his own deposition to negate any information to the secrets of Itachi, opting to dispose loyalty to that traitor for mere apathy.
"I won't repeat my words, Hyuuga." The demand whispered trough the metallic blade and the tune of Sasuke's voice provoked the Hyuuga to use mockery once again by simply giving back his laughter at the desperate attempts of the young Uchiha. "what is so amusing, Hyuuga?..."
"The coward acts and paths of two lost prodigies...opting for the easy way out of their reality." Neji's lips curved,"Cowards had always departed its way to displeasure me, but your brother is not different from you...A blind fool opting to leave your life in the hands of death..."
"What the hell are you trying to say,Hyuuga?"
"I do not care for your need to know his location..." The false words evoked the attention of the young Uchiha. Eyes plastered in a burst of emotions erupting in the desire of destruction."But, I'll glady prefer to say what that coward refused to confess. The conversation I held with your brother-"
"I told you...My only interest is Itachi's location."
The call of birds caught their attention.
"That..."
The creation of decapitation descended in the harsh movement of Sasuke's hand.
"You recurred to provocation...To simply convince Sasuke into hearing you...You should know that he would only response with violent attacks..."
His departed voice echoed, the two young men maintained rigid muscles to that voice.
The cry of ravens announced Itachi's presence.
The resonating cries of the demons settled Sasuke into vague recognition of memories. His reckless hands chasing for the ghost. He still bleed through the collection of disgrace. Through breathes of corrupted lungs. A broken body incapasitated by the the hand that went through his bones and skin.
Black birds connecting in the edge of the sark forest. Forming the figure of the enemy.
"You..."
There was not hesitation. His katana changed direction of its target, Itachi's body dispersing once again into ravens. His voice echoing trough the forest.
"Chldish and arrogant...You haven't changed at all..."
Bright Sharingan manifested in front of them. Itachi's body emerging from the nothingness. Sasuke eyes captured in the trance of the Sharingan. The resistance didn't last, his body collapsed against the rigid floor. No emanant words or curses had escaped. Itachi had defeated the younger in the blink if a eye.
The eyes of Itachi never remained in his brother. He simply glared to the young shinobi.
"Seems I've been caught once more into your territory,Hyuuga..."
The Hyuuga was silent. Unaware of how the calmness that Itachi's body portrayed in this present. Something was different...
"I'm not fool when it comes to risks..." His voice mastered to capture Neji. If the surprise painted in the young Hyuuga meant something."I can't risk something like a third person involved...So, to silence I will grant you what you ask in exchange on our first meeting..."
A step closer and one more directed to the Hyuuga who sat in the floor, his face flustrated to the different man in front of all the time Neji had fought to have a emotion plastered in Itachi's face. This was the unexpected instant that emotion painted itself in the Uchiha's body and voice.
Pacient and a superior above many man. There was not that lethal and silent criminal.
"I'll deliver what you want me to offer...But, I'll guarantee you that regrets will come after we finish this..."
His body rose from the ground. The Uvhiha observing.
"And what is that...That you are going to offer for me to be silent about the lies that hold you chained to your miserable destiny?"
The Uchiha response hit him with the direct answer. His Akatsuki coat positioned in the floor, his Hitai-ate undone.
"I'll drop my mask...I'll offer no lies..." The emanating words of Itachi corrupted any word that could've escaped from Neji's lips. "I'll offer you answers...But limitations are still part of this, I will held silence if I feel your questioning to be a interferance."
"You think that's going to...keep me from talking?"
"I can deliver secrets to a man that hold a similar ground of misery in this world...I've known that connections and apathy are very desirable things for broken humans." He directed his eyes to the fallen body of his brother. "My reasons must sound insane to you, because I held no desire of liberty...But, you crave to know those reasons. And I can buy your silence with that..."
"Why are you-"
"I won't be acurate in my responses. Emotions and my words, that's all you get..." Ravens surrounded the body of Sasuke. Itachi ignored how the birds dispersed Sasuke's body into other location. "Ask...I don't need you to secure your silence. I'm sure that you will keep silent of my acts..."
The abandonment of merciless hatred, always waking up the flames of sadness. Consuming him without hesitations. A taste of a burning misery trough old scars. Those were things they shared.
"Let's start then..."
Itachi had no resistance to show his passive nature that he secured for years. He never earned the desire to hide, but it was a necessity. But, in the present he left his mask collapse...
Just for a moment...
"I know you'll be back to that facade..." Neji's hand travel to the back of his head. The metallic band undone. He threw his mask. " I would offer honesty too...It doesn't mean that I'll trust whatever comes out of your mouth..."
"Let's see what tongue truly seeks fnthe truth, Hyuuga..."
