Sasuke opened the front door and slipped outside. It was cold. Snow lazily drifted from the dark sky coating the ground in white. He glanced behind him to make sure the other's weren't up. Luckily they were all asleep. Turning he made his way into the darkness and to bring his brother back.
Itachi ran. His long hair billowing behind him. His feet hit the ground silently his eyes ahead of him. He knew he was being followed, but he also knew that Sasuke wasn't too far ahead. All he had to do was get to Sasuke before his follower got to him. He jumped into a tree and took off, hoping his eyes wouldn't give out.
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
Sasuke swore under his breath. He had been walking for almost two hours. His feet had begun to ache and he felt a migrane forming. Breathing from his nose he lifted his face and stared into the sky. Snow drifted and stuck to his face.
"Sasuke..."
He heard his brother's voice in his head calling him. Sasuke shook his head and continued to walk the voice in his head getting louder and clearer. Sasuke grit his teeth ignoring it.
"SASUKE!" Quickly the younger Uchiha turned to see his dear brother staring at him.
"Itachi..." Sasuke whispered. Itachi took an unsure step toward his younger sibling. His long hair was in a dissray and shadows were under his eyes. Sasuke walked up to his brother and drew Itachi up into his arms holding him tightly.
"How did you find me?" He asked keeping his brother close.
"I left, my partner helped me...Sasuke we must go now.
"I've missed you so much..."
"I've missed you too Otouto, but we have to go."
"Go? Go where?"
"Sasuke please, I'm being followed."
"By who?"
"By me." A voice came out from behind Itachi. Sasuke grabbed his brother and pushed him behind him and stared as Madara Uchiha approached them with a sneer plastered on his face.
"You fucking slut." He hissed at Itachi who gripped his brother's shoulders. Sasuke let out an enraged snarl at Madara's words but Itachi held him back.
"What did you say to him!" Saasuke snarled. Itachi shushed him and glanced at Madara.
"Go away Madara." Itachi said softly eyes narrowed. Madara shook his head.
"I rescue you and this is how you repay me? Bye running back to your brother?"
"I love Sasuke, you gave me up and I'm happy that you did." Itachi replied evenly. Madara chuckled and regarded Sasuke with distaste.
"Really now Sasuke, you're going to rescue your sickly murderous brother?" Madara snorted. Sasuke glowered at the elder man and held his brother against him.
"Fuck off." He growled and began to turn around when a sharp pain exploded in his side. Sasuke fell to the ground with a cry of pain. Mdara stood above him smirking.
"Something you should be aware of Sasuke? Never turn away from me." Madara said sneering down at Sasuke ignoring Itachi. That is until a swift blow to the side of the neck sent him to the ground unconcious.
"A rule you should know Madara, two actually, never turn your back on me and never touch my brother." Itachi hissed as he helped his brother stand. Sasuke looked at his brother in admiration. Itachi smiled slightly. He took his younger brother's hand and glanced at the unconcious Madara.
"Let's go before he wakes up."
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
Sasuke threw open the door startling Karin who had been sipping on her tea, she dropped the cup and the glass shattered on the ground.
"Sasuke-kun, what...Itachi!" Karin shrieked happuly and ran towards the Uchiha thrwing her arms around him. Itachi gingerly hugged her back. Karin stepped back a smile on her pretty face her eyes dancing.
"Ooooo Sui, and Juugo are going to be thrilled!" She said before bounding off to find them. Sasuke sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose and offered his brother a weak smile. Itachi appraised his brother momentarily before swaying slightly as his vision blurred. He was so tired. Sasuke's face fell slightly and he held out a hand to steady his brother.
"Come one let's get you to sleep." He murmured. Itachi smiled and leant against the taller male allwoing him to lead him to his room and sit him on his bed. Sasuke began to undress him brother pulling off his sandals ad pants and slipped him into a pair of shorts. He lay Itachi back and pulled the blankets around his shoulders.
"Night Aniki." Sasuke whispered. Itachi smiled tiredly.
"Thank you Sasuke."
"Don't mention it."
"I love you Otouto."
"...I love you too Aniki." Sasuke replied planting a soft kiss on his brother's cheek. Itachi smiled again and slowly closed his eyes falling asleep. Sasuke stared at his brother a moment longer before a smile spread across his face.
"I've missed you." He whispered softly.
