C h i b i O r o c h i m a r u: Thanks for adding me to your author alert list thingie *feels loved*

Zaln: What the fuck is wrong with me? I enjoy writing FICTION. I know pedophilia is wrong, that's why I do not do anything of that sort, nor condone it in real life. What one choses to write about is one's own choice. Oh and please do learn to spell, misspelling while flaming someone really only leads people to believe you are just some stupid ass flamer. Oh and I DID NOT 'bastardized' the characters. As my one friend says, bastardizing the characters means you make them act vicious to others for no damned good reason. I know this, she knows this. Most of the people I know, know this. So now, what is it in your tiny little flamer mind makes you think I did that to either Itachi or Sasuke? Now, I doubt you are here to read this, so I shall e-mail this to you also. In closing, have a wonderful day, and thanks for the flame *adds it to her collection*

Chapter Three: Wishing and Hoping

Sasuke was woken up by his mother at a little past noon to eat lunch. As he sat at the table and ate, he glanced over at the spot Itachi sets in when he's at home and sighs softly, wishing his brother was home right now and wondering when he'll get home this time. Hopefully, he thinks, it will be by tonight so he can get his brother to tuck him in again!

After Sasuke finishes with lunch, he heads outside and practices some basic taijutsu . He continues practicing until it's about to get dark out then quickly heads home since he knows his mother likes him home by dark usually and also because he's hungry again now and ready for dinner.

Once he reaches his house, he gets scolded for being late, but not punished since he wasn't that late. He then sets down with his parents and eats dinner. Once again, he finds himself looking over at Itachi's empty chair again, wishing and hoping his brother was there or at least will get home soon.

A few hours later, the young Uchiha should be in bed, but has found himself setting at a chair at his window again and looking up at the sky. The moon is getting closer to be full and luckily, tonight the sky is more clearer so he can see the stars and the moon better tonight.

The small boy stretched slightly in his chair and sighed softly. He rested his chin against the window sill and looks up at the sky from there. After a few minutes had pasted, he moved his head so he now the side of his head was laying down on the windowsill. Yawning slightly, he decided to rest his eyes for a little while. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he knew he would end up falling asleep if he did this, but he did it anyway since his eyes had started hurting some.

Soon, the young Uchiha fell into a light slumber. This time, it was not interrupted by his elder brother picking him up, in fact, it was not interrupted at all until the sun started to rise, shining light through the little boy's bedroom window and right on him.

Whining softly, he stirred for a moment then covered his head up with his arms to block on the sun. He once again found sleep. The boy stayed asleep for another hour or so until he slowly woke up.

Sasuke groaned softly as he straightened his now stiff back and mentally cursed himself for falling asleep in a chair like that.. since well.. he knew better because he had done that before while waiting for his big brother.

Once the boy had gotten up, he stretched slightly to try and get his sore muscles in his back stretched out and to stop hurting. After that was taken care of, he headed to the bathroom to take a bath this time since he didn't have to hurry and take a shower so he could see his brother sooner and be around him more.

The little boy put he plug in the tub then turned on the water once he was in the bathroom and set it so it was nice and warm, but not too hot or anything. As the water was filling up in the tub, the young boy stripped off the clothes he had on and then got into the tub.

He let the tub fill up until it was most of the way full before he turned off the water. The Uchiha sighed softly as the warm water help his back which was still a bit stiff and sore. His neck was now starting to bother him, so he reached one of his hands up and started to rub the back of his neck.

While the younger of the two brothers was taking a nice warm bath, the other returned home. He didn't pay any much attention to his parents, in tent on taking a long shower after his all night mission and then taking a nap. Since there was no water running, Itachi didn't even think that anyone would be in the bathroom, so he just opened the door and walked inside. After he had gotten the door shut, he noticed his little brother setting in the tub, rubbing his neck with his eyes closed. The little boy was obviously very relaxed in the warm water and didn't seem to notice that his elder brother had entered the room.

Itachi didn't even think as he just stared at his brother as 'certain' mental images came into his mind.

Sasuke eventually got the feeling he was being watched and opened his eyes. Glancing over at his elder brother, he didn't even think before a smile stretched across his face and he jumped out of the tub and ran over to him, immediately catching him in a hug.

The older brother's eyes widened slightly before he mentally said to himself, 'He's just your brother, it isn't like you haven't seen him naked before.. and this isn't exactly the first time he's hugged you while he was naked either…' The teen's thoughts actually ended up making things worse as just the slightest barely detectible blush spread across his face as his brother nuzzled against his thigh in a loving manner.

Raising one of his hands up to his mouth, Itachi cleared his throat to attracted his brother's attention, which he did, before he calmly said, "Brother, I don't think you should go around dripping and naked."

"Huh?" The younger asked with an all too innocent look on his face and sound to his voice. The next second, it registered in Sasuke's brain what Itachi was taking about and his cheeks immediately tinted a rather dark pinkish color before he back a few steps away from his brother and covered up his private parts his hands, giving him an adorable little look, especially with the blush which just seemed to be deepening and getting worse as time went by.

A smile that had a hint of a smirk to it, spread across Itachi's face as he looked down at his little brother. After a few moments a looking down at him, Itachi said, "Why don't you finish your bath up now?"

Sasuke, who had been starring intently down at the floor, quickly nodded then scurried back over to the tub, not thinking to cover up his behind as he did so (we all know Itachi was glad he didn't though, right?). Even after Sasuke had once again gotten into the tub, he still covered himself up with his hands and also continued his blushing.

After a few moments of silence, Sasuke shyly looked up at his brother and asks, "What did you come into the bathroom for?"

"A shower." Itachis says then Sasuke's brain kind of goes duh stupid to him before his blush darkens slightly and he looks back down.

"Oh." The little boy says quietly then squirms around uncomfortable. He wasn't even sure why he was feeling like this now, him and his elder brother had taken baths and such together before and it never really bothered him then or anything, So why was he blushing and covering himself like this now? The young Uchiha just couldn't figure it out, he kept trying though!

Itachi watched Sasuke for a while and didn't say anything since the little boy looked deep in thought at the moment. The older of the brothers then got an idea which he knew probably wasn't a good one, but he chose to ignore the imaginary angle that appeared on one of his shoulders and just listened ot the devil on the other who told him to get into the tub with Sasuke and molest him.. He probably wouldn't do the molesting part though.. At least not yet anyway (~_^).

So, as the little devil was celebrating victory over the angel, Itachi began to strip out of his clothes which went unnoticed to his younger brother who was still deep in thought. After he had gotten his clothes off, Itachi went over to the tub and almost silently got into the tub behind Sasuke who didn't realize this until his brother lightly rubbed his neck since Itachi had seen Sasuke rubbing his neck when he first came into the bathroom.

Felicia: Ha! That's all you get for now! So, what will Sasuke do now that there's a nakie Itachin in the tub with him? Oh, and more importantly, when is Itachi going to molest the little Sasuke? Well, review and let me know what you think about that, your opinions and stuff do matter.. not that they'll stop me from doing something if I set my mind to it of course ^-^
