Order And Chaos

Errand Boy

Sasuke leans against the wall as if holding it up, his shoulder pressed as hard as possible against it, arms crossed over his chest as he glares at the floor. The building itself is cold, sending chill bumps over his flesh, and he tries to ignore the steady lull of voices not too far away from him.

That's impossible, for soon his attention is being directed there, a deep voice mockingly rolling out to him. "Do come here, little brother. This concerns you, after all." Itachi calls out to him and Sasuke has to keep himself from growling at the male. Who needs enemies with Itachi around?

He uncrosses his arms, scowling as he moves towards Itachi and two other males that he does not know, not particularly caring about them or whatever Itachi has to say, regardless of the man saying it involves him or not.

He stops short a few feet from the table they are crowded around, his hooded gaze leveling onto Itachi's face as he keeps his expression carefully blank. "What is it I have to do?"

Itachi's lips curl into a smile that does not sit well with Sasuke, and he can feel his shoulders tensing.

…..

Sasuke slams his trunk shut with a snap, the entire car dipping on the back tires from the ferocity of the action. His narrowed eyes refuse to look over his shoulder where he knows Itachi is standing, watching him leave. He doesn't need to look.

He can feel the amusement. He can picture the self satisfied smile in his mind's eye even as he opens his door and plops down in the seat, yanking the door back with a loud slam. His engine roars to life as if to drown out imaginary mocking laughter.

He rolls down his window just hair as he sees his brother's form emerge in his peripherals, hands gripping the steering wheel as he speaks through clenched teeth, his voice barely a hiss.

"I'll be back in two weeks, if everything goes as you say it should."

Itachi leans over, but Sasuke still refuses to look at his face. "Hurry back, little brother."

Sasuke shifts his car into drive, pressing on the gas with restraint so he does not spin his tires out of the area, not wanting to give his brother the satisfaction in seeing him angry.

The task itself is simple. Go a good distance away from his own home town, meet the two males that already are waiting for him to pick them up, and then bring them back to Itachi after inspecting the goods they are offering.

Piece of cake, yet irritating. It has been a long, long time since he has been sent out as an errand boy like this, and it irks him. He wants to get his hands back into the bigger operations, not these small good for nothing ones.

Growling he swings his car onto the interstate, heading south, turning his music up to push his own thoughts out of his head.

Hope you liked it. :)
