He stood in the middle of a field, his head bent down. The flowers and grass that were once swaying gently in the breeze were now trampled on and painted red with blood flowing from the gash on his stomach. He raised his head, revealing crimson eyes with a penetrating glare filled with anger and hatred.
Uchiha Itachi gazed at his younger brother with a contented look. The smirk playing on his lips widened as he heard a sharp intake of breath and the figure in front of him fell on his knees, clutching the gaping wound he inflicted. He twirled a kunai with his forefinger, as if mocking his brother.
Sasuke couldn't believe it. He was kneeling in front of his brother, the same man who massacred his whole clan seven years ago, leaving only both of them with the name Uchiha. He gritted his teeth as a sharp pain seared across his body. Ignoring the pain, he got to his feet and charged towards his brother with a war cry, but was only pushed aside, crashing into a nearby tree, splintering it in half.
The gap between them hadn't changed at all.
The loss of blood blurred his vision and his breathing was becoming more and more ragged. Still, he lifted his head to look at his brother in the eye. If he was going to die, he'd die with dignity.
Authoress' Notes: So what do you think? It's my first Naruto fanfic and I'm quite nervous. Should I keep this as a one-shot or continue it? Please review! Constructive criticism accepted and flames will be read but ignored.
