Chapter 10:

The next morning Sasuke sat up to see Itachi still asleep. He got up and walked from the room, down the hall, down the stairs, and down the hall to the kitchen. There he saw one of the mades.

"Liena. It's been a little while." Liena snapped around to see Sasuke. She gasped.

"S-sasuke? You're not suppouse to be here."

"I know but, I had to see him. He looks horrible." Sasuke walked over to help Liena, almost completely taking over her job.

"Sasuke?"

"Yeah?"

"After all your brother put you through..."

"He's the only real family I have left. I can't just leave him. No matter what, we need each other."

"You could get in trouble."

"I'm willing to take that risk."

"He could get in trouble."

"I'll cover for him."

"What if they won't believe you. You know how bad a rep. your brother has now."

"I'll make them believe me." The doorbell wrang.

"I'll get that." Sasuke dropped what he was doing and walked to the front door only to meet the eyes of an official.

"Sasuke. How did you get here?"

"I came of my own will."

"I don't think so. Itachi's coming with us now."

"No! I came to check on him! He looks horrible and it's my job as his younger brother to take care of him no matter what!" Sasuke's voice was now hard and cold, stating he was ready to fight and kill to priotect his older brother. There was a noise at the top of the stairs and Itachi stood there.

"Little brother! Knock it off! You should not be here!" Sasuke turned, eyes glazed over with fire.

"Damnit! I'M NOT LEAVING YOU TO SUFFER! WE'RE THE ONLY FAMILY WE HAVE AND WE NEED EACH OTHER!" Sasuke screamed at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing though the mansion and down the streets. The official grabbed Sasuke by the arm.

"Look here you little rat. You're not going to cheat me out of my job." He went to throw Sasuke but Itachi was there in a second to catch Sasuke before he hit anything. Sasuke glanced up, only to see his brother sit him down quickly and go at the official. Sasuke's eyes widened when he saw blood splatter onto the ground as the man fell, his neck cut open. Itachi looked back at Sasuke.

"Leave, now." Sasuke nodded, stood, and ran. Liena stared in disbelief.

"Lord Itachi..." Itachi turned to her.

"Leave it. I'll tend to it." Itachi then began to pick up the body.

Sasuke made it back to meet Kakashi standing in the front room.

"An all nighter Sasuke!" It was Sakura. He blinked.

"What do you mean?" Sasuke tilted his head, looking at her.

"You're seeing someone behind my back, aren't you Sasuke!"
