101. Marriage
Fugaku was, if not anything else, a man of his word. His own father had drilled the principal into his mind growing up, and he did the same to his own two sons. Perhaps this was not one of the more intelligent ideas the clan head had come up with during his lifetime.
When a 10-year-old Itachi had stumbled into the kitchen that scorching summer evening, he should have immediately realized something was wrong. His eldest never showed his face around the house before dusk, too busy with training or schoolwork. The young boy had also never had a habit of fidgeting, an action in which he was currently partaking in. Unfortunately for Fugaku, the heat had begun to take its toll on his mind, leaving it quite foggy.
"What is it Itachi?" he had grounded out; wiping sweaty mocha locks out of his vision.
"Father," the prodigy had stated in a surprisingly strong voice for his small form "I wish to marry Sasuke."
The 37-year old spared a slightly confused glance at his wife who had just entered the room after returning from a trip to the market. Mikoto shrugged her shoulders carelessly and mouthed a quick 'it's just a phase' to her spouse before turning towards the counter to begin dinner preparations.
With curt nod, Fugaku answered his sons question in a positive manner before shooing him back out to the yard. The adolescent kept his facial expression schooled until he exited the room his lips then turning upwards into a small smirk. He was called a prodigy for a legitimate reason.
Years passed, and the clan head had forgotten all about the promise he had made to his heir. It was not a hard task, as both Itachi and Sasuke had grown far apart during the elapsed period of time, and even begun to bring home potential wives. Hid eldest was one of the most talented and intelligent shinobi of all time and his youngest was not far behind. The future of the Uchiha clan was looking quite bright.
One night, however, Fugaku was sitting in his study, nursing a cup of green tea and reading over a scroll when there was a knock on the door. Pondering silently who it could be, the man softly called 'enter,' and watched Itachi quietly open the door and move to sit in front of his father.
"My son," the older of the two stated "how may I help you on this fine evening?"
"Father, is now an appropriate time frame to bring up the possibility of marriage?" the young man questioned in his usual monotone voice.
Fugaku felt a strange tingling in his chest at the thought of one of his children starting their own family. For the life of him, he could not manage to decipher if such a feeling was caused by becoming old and nostalgic or not. "Why of course Itachi, who did you have in mind? That Anko girl, or perhaps that lovely second cousin of yours? Maybe that female friend of your brother, Sakura was it? She seemed pretty strong in mind, body and spirit. The Yamanakas' also have a daughter old enough for courting if I do remember correct-"
The head was silenced by the young man in front of him speaking slowly, "Father, I am not interested in any woman."
Fugaku shifted uncomfortably in his seat. His heir was gay? What an awkward twist of events. "Oh, so you are interested in men then? Well that is all right, I'm sure Sasuke will father a child to take your place once you die. Now what boy has peaked your interest, I do believe Naruto has taken a shine to you."
"No father, I am not interested in just any boy," Itachi muttered "I wish to marry my brother."
The tension in the room rose so high, it was almost palpable. Both men stood stiff as statues, their intense glares canceling each other out.
"What did you say boy?" Fugaku snarled, slamming his calloused hands down hard on the surface of his desk.
"I said," Itachi replied, voice just as sharp and fierce "I wish and will, marry my otouto."
"Where in the hell did this thought come from?" the elder snapped, eyes bleeding to the bloody red of the Sharingan. "Even if you do want to marry your sibling, you cannot without my consent."
"Oh, but father, you already have given us your blessings," the other man cooed in a sickeningly sweet voice "When I was a mere ten years old. Don't tell me you're going to go back on your word now."
A look of utter shock and disgust passed over Fugakus' face as the realization hit him. Based on what he previously knew of his son, the man was not joking when he stated his desire to be wed to his own brother. Itachi had played him at a mere ten years of age.
"B-but incest is wrong! It is unacceptable for you to sin in such a way!" he cried in a last ditch effort. "Even if you wish to do so, how could you drag your brother into such a horrid activity?"
Itachi shrugged I an unconcerned manner before rising from his seat and heading back towards the door. "Hn, we have already discussed such in great detail, do not concern yourself with the mater. Now, if you excuse me, I have a wedding to plan."
With a loud slam, the door was slid shut, leaving Fugaku gaping at the wall like a fool.
45. Illusion
"Otouto," Itachi called into the apparently empty stone chamber "I have returned."
A mop of ebony locks popped up from one of the many cauldrons scattered around the room and the big black eyes of a child stared at his brother in admiration. The young boy raced towards the entrance, the frayed edges of the robe dragging along the cool floor as he moved. With a burst of speed, he thrust himself into his brothers' warm embrace.
"Nil-san, I missed you today," the boy murmured, burying his head deep in his siblings' thick robes. They smelled strongly of lavender and were very soft to the touch, both very comforting things to the child.
"I missed you as well Sasuke," the elder replied, lifting the 7 year-old up to rest against his chest. "Would you like to see the new spell I learned at the academy today?"
Sasuke squirmed and nodded vigorously in excitement, his small lips perking up into a smile.
Itachi removed his oak wand from a pocket inside of his clothing and glanced around the room for something to cast a spell on. He spotted the family pet, a cat- the typical creature for a wizard to own- and pointed the object at the animal. Narrowing his deep-brown orbs in concentration, he muttered a quick spell and waited for the outcome.
The feline grew a substantial amount, its teeth lengthening into fangs and eyes picking up a strange neon glow. The nails on its feet grew at least five times in size and the coloring changed from black to a blood red. A hiss escaped its jaws, dribbling with saliva, and it arched its bony back to the sky,
Suddenly there was a scream.
The elder of the two siblings quickly dismissed the spell and began to soothe his baby brother, rubbing circles on his small back. "Shhhh, Sasuke, it was just an illusion, it wasn't real. Mmhm, baby brother look, the kitty is back to normal, hush now."
The younger boy removed his head from its spot firmly planted on his brothers shoulder and wiped away the tears that dribbled down his chubby pale cheeks. Sniffling slight, he gazed upon his brother with watery eyes and mumbled, "Teach me nii-san?"
53. Keeping a Secret
Two pairs of pale pink lips rubbed against one another, their tongues battling for dominance between the two orifices. Lusty moans and groans resonated throughout the bedroom as the two boys touched each other in not-so-innocent places. Clothing littered the hardwood floor as well as a few of the pieces of furniture and light fixtures, tossed carelessly in the haste to have them removed from their previous location on a horny individual.
Suddenly, there was a noise from outside the door. "Sasuke darling," the voice called, "are you alright, I hear you making terribly sounds."
The teen trembled and held in a throaty cry as his older brother began to suck at his neck. "Ah-haa, y-yes mother just feeling a little under the weather." Another noise was muffled as Itachi moved his way down towards his siblings' nipples.
"My poor baby," Mikoto gasped, "would you like me to bring you anything?"
"N-no mother, I-I think I just need some r-r-rest." A harsh glare was sent at Itachi who had abandoned his previous spot and was now working downwards toward his southern region.
"Alright honey, just let me know if there is anything you need," she cooed, moving away from the door. Her son was just so damn stubborn sometimes!
"Mmmm otouto," Itachi groaned lightly as Sasuke began to run his smooth hands along his muscles chest. "You're so good at keeping our secret."
A/N: I wasn't as happy with these three, they are a little strange in my opinion. In 'Illusion' Sasuke and Itachi are in a universe where most people are wizards/witches, but it had nothing to do with Harry Potter. Anyways, y'all should review if you have the time! I really do appreciate it! Any flames received will be used for something useful, although I'm not sure what yet.
Now to my reviewers from the previous chapter...
Culut-Camia- I am really very thankful for all of the reviews you give me! Thank you so so very much!
TheLuche- Drowning has to be one of my favorites out of these as well. I will try to explore more into more scenarios with Fugaku and Mikoto, I hope the two mentions of them in two of these one-shots today was pleasing! Thank you for reading!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto (or Harry Potter even if it was just mentioned in the A/N and had nothing to do with any of the tales) or any characters associated with the series. The plots of these however, are my own.
P.S. Please check out and review my new ongoing ItaSasu fic, "Melodies of Affection" if you have the time! I would greatly appreciate it!
