Be warned, my wonderful readers! There are some pretty big spoilers in this chapter, so if you have neither read nor watched all of Itachi and Sasuke's relationship, don't read! I would seriously hate to ruin it for anyone.

"You already told me why; to test yourself." Sasuke growled, but waited for Itachi to speak.

"I lied, to prtoect you from the truth and so that you would grow to hate me." He stopped and sighed. "Every since I held you for the first time, I was determined that I would do everything to make sure you'd live a long, happy life. I tried to force our father to notice your skills as a ninja, and even threatened to skip important ANBU meetings and missions. The reason these threats worked is because the Uchiha clan was planning a coup (sp?) to overtake Konoha, which the village elders realized quickly. The third hokage tried to find a way to settle the matter peacably, but he failed. I was given the top secret mission of destroying the entire uchiha clan."

Sasuke stared at him with wide eyes, his mouth open. He started to slowly shake his head. "No, that isn't true! Mother and father would never do something that horribly!"

"Little brother, I'm afraid to say that it is indeed true." He reached into his ninja pouch and pulled out a small scroll, tossing it to Sasuke. I couldn't see it, but I was sure it was the mission scroll. Sasuke swallowed once and lowered his head as he tossed the scroll back. "I...I see. I guess you suceeded then."

Itachi stood and walked to Sasuke, his face still a mask, but I could see the hurt and sorrow in his eyes. "No, the mission was a failure. That night, I left one Uchiha alive, you. I loved you too much to kill you, so I went to the hokage and begged him to keep you alive."

"What about that time you put me in the hospital, when you came after Naruto?" Sasuke asked.

"I had no intention of finding you to fight, only to sent a message to the elders who knew about the truth behind the Uchiha massacure. I meant it as a warning that even though the third was gone, I was still here, and if anything happened to you, I would not let it slip." Itachi explained.

Sasuke hugged Itachi, which Itachi returned. "All this time I've been getting stronger, so I could Kill you...why did you do all this to me, instead of telling me the truth?"

"I learned that you had gone to Orochimaru for power, so I decided to let you kill me. That way, you'd be seen as a hero in the leaf, and they would accept you back." Itachi explained. "I'm sorry Sasuke, I never meant so much to happen to you."

Sasuke finally seemed to remember that I was still here and narrowed his eyes. "What about her? What if she tells?"

"It's fine, she's a good friend,and I trust her. Besides, I don't care if she does tell." He reasoned. "Why don't you reaquaint yourselves with your old team, while I talk to Alice."

Sasuke nodded and smiled just a little. Itachi gave me a similiar smile and hugged me. "Thank you Alice. if you hadn't suggested I tell Sasuke, he would have been in the darkness forever." He released me and I blushed a little.

"Uh, you're welcome." My stomach began to complain about it's lack of food and I blushed even more while Itachi just chuckled.

"Come on, let's get you some food." He said, leading the way downstairs. I followed and was eager for some food, but was ambushed by a very hungry looking Brittany.

"Feed me!" I whined, hanging onto my leg while I tried to drag her across the floor. Everyone either laughed or grinned at us, except me of course.

"Brittany, get your fat ass off my leg!" I demanded, grabbing the wall for some support.

May's POV

I continued to think of evil ways to despose of Madara/Tobi, when we passed a bakery and my eyes lit up in realization. "Oh damn!" I took an illegal u turn and parked in front of the bakery.

"What are you doing?" Tobi/Madara asked me.

"Placing an order for a special event tomorrow." I grinned and jumped out of the vehicle. I arranged everything then climbed back in the car, where the missing-nin was impatiently waiting.

"Take us back to Alice's house May." He demanded, and I could feel my face heat up with pented up rage. "You know what, shut up! You've been bossing me around all day, and I tired of it! You're an arrogant pest, who thinks everybody should bend over backwards just to please you! This is my car, in my city, in my dimmensions, so if you don't like it, go some where else!"

I took a few much needed breathes befor what I had just done sunk in. I just told off the Uchiha Madara, and would porbably get killed. He lifted his hand and I squeezed my eyes shut in fear, only to snap them back open when he just brushed a piece of hair out of my hair. He started to twirl it around his finger, and he held his mask in the other, a smirk on his face. His face was nice, perfect except for a scar that ran over his left eye (I can't remeber which eye it is, if some one could tell me that'd be great), but I kinda liked it.

"Getting a little bolder are we? I'll admit, on you it's kinda cute." I blushed a deep shade of red, but grimaced as he tugged at the piece of hair in his hand hard. "But don't let it happen again."

I gulped and turned my head as I started the car. I felt his eyes on me and he chuckled darkly. "Something wrong?" He asked with fake innocence. I could hear the smirk in his voice. I looked back and stuck my tongue out at him, but he just smirked some more. Evil Uchiha.

Diana's POV

I growled while Nikki fixed the food slow, on purpose. She knew we were all starving and waiting on her, but she didn't move any faster, plus she was grinning the whole time. The only one amused by her antics was Sasori, who didn't need to eat.

"Damn it Nikki, I'm hungry! Hurry up, or let Alice do it!" Brittany grumbled.

"Yeah Bitch, I'm fucking starved!" Hidan screeched from the table, which was way over crowded. Alice sighed and layed her forhead on the table, and I could tell she was starting to get a headache. I also didn't miss Itachi rubbing her head slightly as a comforting gesture, and judging by Kisame's grin, he didn't either. But I could be wrong, as I so usually am.

"Done." Nikki said in a rather bored tone, her eyes drooping a little. Most of us were ready for bed when ever diner was over, and a couple had even skipped the meal. "And I don't think Alice will be joining us for diner."

We all looked at her to see that she had fallen asleep. 'I wish I could sleep without snoring like Alice.' I thought glumly. My snoring was horrible, even though everyone swore it could barely be heard. "Itachi, since you share a room, could you carry her when you go?"

"Hn." He agreed. I inwardly sighed at his monotone behavior. How did Alce stand it!

A dinner roll was suddenly flicked at Sasori's head, which the puppet master skillfully avoided, throwing his own. Soon an all out food war erupted. A fork was thrown and headed for me, but a large blue hand reached out and caught it. "That was a close, eh Diana?" Kisame flashed me a toothy grin and I smiled back.

"Yeah, I owe you big time." I answered, taking my plate to the sink before heading off to bed. "Good night everybody!"

Nikki's POV

I watched as Itachi carefully lifted Alice, being sure to keep her head supported. 'Oh yeah, they're going to be together. Kisame and Diana too. So, who's going to be the next couple?' I thought, scanning the room. I soon spotted Sasuke saying something to Sakura, which she didn't look all too happy about. "Hey, Sakura, Sasuke!"Their heads snapped in my direction, waiting. "I'll have to make a bed on the floor for you two in Alice's room. Naruto and Kakashi, I'll put you in Sasori and Deidara's room."

Sakura growled lightly, nearly throwing her dishes in the sink, while Sasuke looked content.

Sakura's POV

'I con't believe she put in the same room as that bastard! And who the hell does he think he is, asking for forgiveness!' Tears burned in my eyes while I stomped back to Alice's room. I poured my heart out to that bastard, and here he is, three years later, telling me he's sorry? When I've finally stopped crying over him, the hurt finally gone, he tries to hurt me again with false hope.

"Sakura?" A voice strikingly similiar to Sasuke's called.

"Yes, Itachi?" I said back, sitting in the floor and leaning my back on the bed post.

"It's Sasuke, isn't it?" He asked. The words sounded normal, but they didn't sound right coming from him. He had definately changed.

"Yes. Three years ago, when he was leaving, I begged him to stay or take me with him and confessed to loving him, but the cold hearted bastard just left me knocked out on a bench. Now he asks me to forgive him like he expects it. He's as uncaring as he was before he left." I grumbled. Although I wouldn't trust Itachi with my life or even a shoe, I knew I could trust him to keep quiet.

"Sakura, have you ever heard my brother apologize for anything, even if he was wrong?" Itachi asked.

"No." I answered, not seeing what he was getting at.

"So, he must care a great deal about your feelings to willingly ask for your forgiveness, right?" He reasoned.

"Y-yeah." I choked out, going into shock. 'Sasuke...sasuke cares about me? No way, Itachi has to be wrong...but who knows Sasuke better than Itachi?' Itachi pat my head before laying back down next to Alice. I grinned evily as I watched him. "Itachi, do you like Alice?" He didn't answer, but the slight tensing in his shoulders said enough.

Nikki walked in with a tarp like thing, sheets, blankets, and pillows. She also had a small pump, although I didn't now what it was for until she used it to inflate the tarp into a matress. After fixing it, she backed off and told me goodnight, leaving just as Sasuke came in. He looked at me for a second before laying down in the bed, and I crawled in beside him. It's good for Sasuke that he isn't bothered by the cold, since I'm a total blanket hog. I smirked before stealing the blanket to wrap myself in a little cacoon. As expected, it didn't bother him in the least. In fact, the bastard seemed quite amused; he chuckled at me. "Shut up, you bastard."

"I recall that being Naruto's nickname for me, not your's, Sakura." He said softly. I wonder if itachi had already fallen asleep, or was he listening to us. Either way, I just ignored Sasuke and quickly fell asleep.

Sorry if the uchiha brothers seem occ in this chapter, but I really think Sasuke still loved Itachi, and that he only tried to kill his team after Itachi's death because it drove him to insanity. To all those who do not like Sasusak, I have one thing to say: Kiss my ass!
