Chapter 4 : NightmareSomewhere inside of Akatsuki building, a snake like man was looked at an experiment tube with a frown. It was a big tube with clear liquid, just like the one in Konoha lab. Through the clear glass, the snake-man glared at something that drowned in the tube. Massive cables that place on the thing's body were sending some electrical impulse.
"Kabuto…" Out of nowhere, the white haired scientist appeared behind his master.
"Yes, Orochimaru-sama." He bowed lightly.
"I want you to investigate that 'Naruto-kun' we met yesterday." He said without even looking once.
Kabuto raised his eyebrows, feeling amuse and confuse at the same time. "If I allow asking, Orochimaru-sama, why is that? Didn't we have 'him' already?"
The older man turned his gazed from the big tube he examined earlier.
"You know full well that we can't do anything with 'him' in this state. Since that time, 'he' was nothing but a lump of meat anyway. " There was something in the tone that Orochimaru used made Kabuto shivered involuntary. He knew what Orochimaru mean and can't help but felt sorry for the Naruto he was ordered to investigate. Sooner or later, that 'boy' would meet his end.

"Naruto! Where are you?" Just the other day before, Sasuke felt like he was having his dream come true. Now he has to search for his little brother who seems like disappear without a trace. Ever since the blonde meet Orochimaru, he acted strangely. The young boy looked afraid, as though he felt something bad was going to happen, but couldn't tell why was it happening. What was it called again?
Sighing to himself, he walked around their big house. He had been searching from the dawn when he realized that his little brother was not snuggling at his side like usual. First thought that appear to his sleepy mind was that his brother when to the toilet alone. He had waited for several minutes before decided that it was to long. He had dragged himself out of his comfortable heaven and look to see the blonde. He did not find him anywhere until now.
Entering the living room, he spotted a mop of blond hair under the sofa.
"There you are!" The young prodigy kneeled and looked satisfied when he found his brother curling under the big comfortable thing. Naruto looked back at his brother and slowly came out crawling. Without warning, he threw himself at his older brother, hugging his slender waist.
"Little one, why did you hiding in place like this?" Sasuke softly patted the blonde, feeling silk soft hair under his big palm. Naruto looked up and mumbled out his answer.
"I was scared nii-chan. There was this evil serpent try to take me away from you." He said, once again hiding his face in the older one's chest. Sasuke let out a small chuckle. Even though Naruto was different from all the other children, he was still a child nevertheless. But what kind of nightmare made the cute little boy thought that hiding under the sofa was much more safer than beside his brother's anyway? He decided it was just the eccentric of Naruto.
"There… there… It was only a dream. You're a big boy, you know?" Sasuke smiled reassuringly. The younger one raised his face and looked at his brother. Somehow, he always feels secure around his brother, so he hugged his brother's waist tighter. Why didn't he remember to hide under his brother's bed cover anyway? Oh, yes. The evil serpent told him that it would kill his Sasuke-nii chan if he stayed near his older brother.
Sasuke smiled softly, his brother was just too cute sometimes. With his golden bright hair and a smile that never wavered, he always do anything he could to annoy him, but then, Sasuke could not get angry to him. It was a feeling he could not describe.
Looking at the grandfather's clock behind him, he decided that it was time to do the morning ritual. He placed a soft kiss on his little brother's forehead before carried him and proceed to the shower. He has to do it quickly if he did not want to be late.

"Ohayo." Sasuke greeted the guards once he stepped inside Konoha Building. The guards smiled back and nodded politely. "Ohayo, Sasuke-sama. Tsunade-sama said that she want to meet you in her office when you came."
Sasuke nodded good naturedly before walked away towards his laboratory. Beside him, a sleepy looking Naruto looked half dragged by his older brother who then decided to carry him piggyback style. The blonde had refused to come to the lab this morning, saying he had eaten too much ramen (which was illogical since they have steak for yesterday dinner and toast for the breakfast) and other lame excuses.
To say Sasuke was worried was an understatement. He had freaked out since it was unusual for the hyperactive kid to refuse to go to the lab. Usually, Naruto would jump in excitement every morning and would called Sasuke impatiently just so that he could play with the entire instrument on the lab. Sasuke had told him not to do so, but still he does it anyway. Therefore, the reaction Sasuke get today was really surprised him.
/Maybe he was sick/ Sasuke shook his head. As he put his bag on the desk, he decided to put more thought about it later. Right now, he had things jobs on his desk, checked on Naruto's health and met the President were just some of them.

The day was by far pretty good and uneventful. Naruto had asked him to come home earlier (The Godzilla was targeting our house Nii-chan! And the Ramen Hero was on holiday trip around the world, too!). After endless lame excuses from Naruto (one of them being another pink Godzilla had decided to take her friends with her and steal his brother's undergarment. Sasuke had wondered where Naruto had all the weird idea), Sasuke decided that he could not work well that day and decided to go home. Since he was in no important research for a while, his boss had let him went home, saying that he and Naruto need to take a holiday at least once a month.
Naruto had entered first when Sasuke had opened the front door of their comfortable home, kicked his shoes off and ran towards the kitchen, almost tripped over on the process. The older of the two saw all this and chuckled in amusement. Picking up his little brother's shoes and put it back on its place, he decided to guess what his brother was doing in the kitchen.
"Onii san! Please make me rameeeeeeen!"
/There it goes again…. /
When the night came, Naruto had convinced his older brother that he was perfectly fine. Saying that he just needs a little rest, there is nothing to be worry about. The cute puppy look like face that the little boy has made Sasuke asked him no more. After a few minutes later of reminding his brother to wake him if he got a nightmare, the two brothers went to sleep.
Naruto was sleeping peacefully beside his older brother, clearly having a beautiful sweet dream. Inside his dream, he saw a beautiful garden full with flower and butterflies. The young boy remembered running happily whiles his brother smiling behind him, watching him with love and care. Life could not be more beautiful than that, he had thought. While the blonde was trying to catch one of those colorful butterflies when he smelled something burn. Screaming at the top of his lung, Sasuke's burned body was coming into view. The white porcelain skin was nothing more than a bunch of meat, those obsidian eyes the little blonde had known for so long showing the utter pain one could bear.
The blonde had screamed and ran for his brother, but every step he took seems like add another distance between him and his brother. He had to go fast or his brother would be dead! No! He would not allow it to happen! Not in a million years! He was falling, he could felt that. The earth had brake, separate him with his older brother. The blonde had cried, begging for God to give him back his beloved brother.
There was distance laughter, Naruto remembered had heard that voice somewhere, but he could not put a finger on it. "Come here with me and your brother would be safe." That what was the voice said. He did not know what that meaning was; he was still a kid after all. Out side his own little mind, the voice still repeating the same sentences over and over again. In front of him, his brother screamed in pain before turned into ashes.
