Sasuke had no idea how he and his patient fell asleep till morning, in fact he should have been completely rested instead. All he could remember was a soft voice singing, and the moment it was gone was when he woke up.
He apologized to his patient and sent him off with another day to come in. Luckily he was fine with that and felt as if he had a good night sleep with dreams of wonder. Sasuke laughed and waved him off.
When Sasuke got home however, he was surprised to see the other two girls but not Choji. Where was he? Did he not come back from his walk, or did he just happened to be out on another walk?
"Hinata, Sakura, where is Choji? Has he come back at all," he placed his file and suitcase next to the door before closing it behind him. They yawned and stretched as if they had just woken up as well.
"Not sure, if he did come back it was probably when we happened to have fallen asleep. I do not even remember seeing him since his last walk," Sakura said. She got up and left to go probably clean herself up. Hinata on the other hand simply sat up and began to think to herself.
"It is strange though...I can not have him wandering out in the city being a threat and all. Choji seems to be very obedient to you as well Sasuke," Sasuke frowned at her comment.
"He is a human being Hinata not an animal."
"Yes he is. In fact we are all animals and not considered human, but besides the point he is very fond of you. It makes me doubt that he would not come back unless the circumstances prevented him from doing so."
"You act as if something has happened to him," Sasuke was beginning to worry about Choji. The guy was good, a bit rusty, mislead, and insecure but good nonetheless.
"That is exactly what I am saying. Choji is like a lost puppy with a new owner, he will not hesitate to leave but if he likes you will come back anyway."
"He is probably dead then," Sakura came downstairs wearing one of his robes still wet.
"Please tell me you have extra clothes and be careful the steps are made of glass so it is very slippery when wet. I do not want to call an ambulance and have them come over to see a naked and bleeding underage teenage girl in my house. Especially in a house owned by a psychologist; it is not a good sign for me."
"I will as soon as you buy it for me."
"Are you going to give me money?"
"No, but I know you are going to buy it anyway. Your job depends on it."
"I could easily go to the cops."
"You could have gone to the cops before you actually murder one. Besides who is going to believe that we are sins with supernatural abilities and such created to cause chaos and misery among the people of society."
"Lets focus here- Sasuke, Sakura is probably right. I also think Choji is dead," he stared disappointed at the ground, nothing to say in reaction. "So it means the virtues are closer than we know. We need to draw ourself out to them without them killing us on target. We do not know exactly what we are up against," Sasuke held his breath.
He knew what they were up against, and it was not good news, but he did not want to tell them. Not simply because he hated them, but he did not want to be a traitor. Especially since he still thought about what the priest had said.
"Oh, Dr. Uchiha I think you will need a new bed. I accidentally cut it with my chainsaw," Sakura said. Sasuke almost tripped over his feet.
"What!? You destroyed my bed! How could you this is not-"
"Will both of you just shut up," Hinata yelled and both were quiet, "the only way to stay alive is to destroy the virtues and the best way to do that is to find the rest of the sins. Or do I have to do this alone," no one answered but the house phone did ring. He was silent as he went to go pick it up, he did not say one word as he listened in on the other line. They could only see his expression go from anger to terror.
He hung up the phone without so much of a reply and said," he is back."
"Who is back," Sakura asked curiously.
"Me," all three turned around to see a male, similar to Sasuke's physical built, but taller, and wearing the clothes of a warden officer. His dark hair with jagged cut layers, that really gave him a extremely appealing look, at least to Hinata and Sakura he was.
In a single moment, even faster than even Hinata and Sakura could expect, Sasuke had leapt toward his brother with obvious intent.
His brother smoothly and swiftly spun and kicked him straight into Sakura, brushing back his hair in a calm fashion. He leaned against the door entrance of Sasuke's house, glancing at a shocked looking Hinata.
However, he did not expect the her expression of shock was more of a love struck moment. Similar to the one she felt for Sasuke's friend, Naruto. He smirked at her, thinking that she was scared, but made no specific mention or comment to it.
"Hello beautiful. My name is Itachi Uchiha. I am Sasuke's older brother," she placed her hands on her hips, smiling at him.
"Nice to meet you I am Hinata Hyuga. I did not even know Sasuke had a brother," she lied. She knew for a while, but playing stranger and getting an introduction would not hurt though. Sasuke stood up seeing the smile on her face and looked back at Itachi. His anger once again returned and once again tried to attack his brother.
Instead of kicking he dodge easily his attack and twisted his arm, kicking him outside,"wow you are pretty pathetic. I should have killed you when I had the chance. Of course, I was stupid then and will not make the same mistake like before."
"Now please do not touch my property, much less destroy it," Itachi turned behind him to Hinata still smiling. Sasuke growled annoyed at Hinata for calling him not only property but 'it' also.
"I am sorry but this is a family matter. If I were you I would stay out of this and mind your own business," his attitude was rude but the tone was still pleasant. She frowned.
"I do not think so. Anything that involves him involves me too. If you do not like it take it up with me personally," he sighed as he elbowed his younger brother and sent him into the tree close by. "I still need him in one piece and even if he cannot fight worth shit I do find his occupation useful."
"Very well then beautif- I mean Hinata. If you want to play like that I do not mind. It does mean though that I also must kill you too," he laughed. She rolled her eyes in response, typical for someone such as himself.
"Sure and how do you think you will do that," he laughed once again. If only she knew his unique gift he developed while in the asylum. The poor young girl did not know what she was getting into and neither did his brother. He should accept death and make it easier for the both of them.
"Of course by burning you," he smiled and his eyes widen with insanity as he snapped his fingers. She fell back as flames roared high in front of her and the door, before slowly creeping its way around the frame and began burning the rest of the house.
"Hinata! Sakura!" Sasuke yelled realizing what his brother had done. He got up to get closer to the house but froze after a few steps; Itachi simply stepped back away from his younger brother. Sasuke could not move as his mind flashed back to his parents' death.
The flames danced in rhythm around the whole building, in their different sizes. It was slowly devouring the place slowly, enjoying its collapsing moments, though quickly eliminated the small and flammable objects, such as clothes, picture, food, and... people. The smoke block any sign of an exit, suffocating him, entrapping him in kitchen-like hell.
He could still feel the pain he had felt back then especially in his scar on the back of his left calf leg.
Sasuke could not run anywhere with a dagger of wood piercing his back leg, at most he could out crawled him by five feet before Itachi could catch up with him, just enough to get him about... now where.
He wanted to save them, he needed to save them, but could not budge an inch. His brother Itachi took no opportunity to kill him off, for he knew what was happening to Sasuke.
Being the child he was, he cried, and whined and drooled out blood, before shouting out the main question in a climax moment, "why?!"
Itachi looked as if he was in his own set of pain, clutching his head and chest, he said with his gaze directed on everything else but Sasuke's pitiful face, "I-I w-want".
He wanted what?
"Everything".
"E-verything," he turned to face his brother still standing there; still looking at him with that insane smile.
"Everything," his brother quietly responded but Sasuke heard either way. His mind slipped away quicker than he could control himself. To Itachi surprise finally Sasuke was only a mere inch away from him, and his fist sending him into the ground and across a few lawns too.
He bursted sitting up, laughing like a maniac.
"I thought I was special. However, you will always be second best little brother and I will prove it by killing you like I did with your little whore," that also pissed Sasuke off. Again he was a few inches away from Itachi, but Itachi was prepare the second time.
Sasuke had to pull back his attack and dodge the flames Itachi sent in the spot Sasuke left a split second ago. Sasuke knew he might not have some unique ability like Hinata or Sakura, and he knew he never would have the courage to even kill his asshole of a brother if it was not for the corruption of the sin tempting him.
His house was almost covered in flames and he had not seen Hinata nor Sakura at all since he had been fighting one on one with his older brother Itachi. There was no way Hinata could have been killed off so easily, she killed two virtues already on her own.
He could only hope that she would be alright on her own, but then again she also had Sakura to risk her life for Hinata.
"I had wished ever since that moment to meet you face to face once again so I could exact my revenge on you. I hated you even before the murder of our parents and now hate you even more now. You always ruin everything for me, so why don't you do me a favor and die finally!"
The flames began to arise and consume the living room and everything else. Sakura jumped from the stairs holding the chainsaw, her gaze quickly looking around room for Hinata. The flames from the ceiling sent chunks falling and surprisingly blocking an attack from Hinata, who flipped backwards away.
"It feels nice in here does it not?" Hinata chuckled, referring to the heat.
"Too hot for me," Sakura stated. She wanted to get Hinata out of the house before they both burned but the fire between them both and the fact that Hinata went psycho mode prevented Sakura from doing so, and since Sakura could not block attacks she had to think of something quick. "We should probably get out of here."
"Sure, but only after you are dead," Hinata began to jump from one spot to another, frowning a bit after realizing she was not able to get any closer to her. Sakura was lucky on the other hand and even with standing there the fire did not reach her yet, but as it got closer she stuck the chainsaw into the ground and sat on her weapon.
Sakura could only think of attacking her to get her out of the house but that meant it would take some damage to her if she went through the fire. Still trying to think of a idea Hinata had finally managed to get close enough to Sakura and jumped at her with a kick. Sakura flew backwards all the way to the other room and out.
Hinata pulled out Sakura's chainsaw and skipped outside and threw the chainsaw at her feet. She pulled out the chainsaw before dropping it from the force of Sasuke falling into her.
They both crashed and broke the fences and sat up to see Itachi and Hinata walking side by side. She leaned against him sighing in awe as Sasuke glared at them both.
"I guess you would not hesitate to betray us. Even your own friend Sakura," she laughed as Itachi slipped his hand around her shoulder pulling him closer.
"I told you I will do whatever it takes to remove this sin... but it does not mean that I can not have a little fun. Your brother Itachi is a real looker I will tell you that. No wonder you are jealous. Taller, better-looking, stronger I could go on but what is the point of pointing out the obvious facts. The main purpose of me going with him is that he will not hesitate to kill for me nor with me."
"You made a great choice for a girlfriend," Itachi chuckled. As neighbors came out of their house to see the commotion they bursted on fire with a snap of Itachi fingers. Sasuke clenched his teeth in anger, wanting to desperately to be able to kill him. It was hard to ignore the screams of the neighbors he was familiar with, and looked away upset.
"I do not feel for her that way. I am a psychologist and she is a young girl."
"One about to reach the age of adulthood," Hinata giggled at Itachi's response. She rolled her eyes, and turned her gaze to the firetruck pulling up. They rushed out to help stop the fire but Itachi spun around and set the place where they stood on fire.
All but one began to burn to death which it seemed as if Hinata had something to do with it. He made a call to the police before collapsing unconscious.
"Lets set the world on fire," Hinata began to pull Itachi by the hand, "the police will come and simply assume Dr. Uchiha as a suspect." Sasuke nor Sakura move to attack.
Sakura could not defend and Sasuke did not have any ability to fight off two insane people. It was really pissing him off to feel so weak.
