one long chappie, and one short chappie... balanced...

Sasuke made his way through the forest, following the path. He had the track, and knew where his brother was. He also knew where Sakura was too. They were in the same place.
A small part of his brain had cried out then, threatening Itachi if he had done anything to her. Although he felt like he had cut all ties with the leaf nin, he still had some value for her. She would be useful… hopefully. And she reminded him of his mother. That was the only reason he felt like that.
'Yeah… she reminds of you someone who died long ago… even though you have no idea what Sakura is like now, you still think that she will resemble your mother… Fool… Keeping old bonds tying you down… you will never kill your brother like this…' A snide, cruel part of his mind that sounded like Orochimaru spoke up, laughing at his simplicity.
Sasuke shook his head, trying to clear his mind of that annoying voice, and that nice part of himself. They would only get in the way.
He prowled over the last few trees, and then made his way to the beacon of light, coming from the inn. He would kill his brother, and avenge his family tonight.

Itachi paused in his tucking in of the pink haired girl-woman into the prepared bed. It would have to wait, as would sleep.
Sasuke was here.
***
He knew that he was here.
Itachi knew it.
Sasuke knew that Itachi knew it.
He had paused in his tucking in of Sasuke's old team mate, and was staring out the window, right at him. Sasuke froze, not in fear of being seen, but out of shock of seeing Itachi doing something so… domestic and intimate to someone… especially someone that Sasuke knew.
His brother was not caring. Nor was he loving or gentle.
He was a cold hearted, stone faced, … murderer. Sasuke could come up with a whole lot of worse words, but he knew that if he thought on it too much, then he would lose control, and try to attack Itachi too soon. He had a plan, but it was flexible, now that Itachi knew that he was there.
He would kill his brother tonight.
'Keep telling your self that…' That snide, cruel part of his mind chuckled. Sasuke shook his head, trying to clear away the thoughts, as he tried to find a reason to carry on. He had to kill his brother. His brother had murdered his family, and made him watch it through the sharingan.
He made up his mind, and decided.
There was no point in waiting. He would attack Itachi when Sasuke had an advantage. But until then, he would watch, and hide, and hope that Itachi would forget… even if the likelihood of that happening was almost none.
Or impossible.
