Chapter 11
Sasuke sat at one end of a large dining table with Itachi sitting at the other end. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of silver forks scraping against china occasion Sasuke would look up from his plate to look at Itachi who stared intently at him. They had been doing this since they had started eating. This was the common ritual of their table ever since their parents died and ever since she left them.
Suddenly the sound of a fork hitting the ground startled Sasuke from his thoughts. Looking up, he saw that Itachi was bent over his plate as his hand gripped his head. Quickly Sasuke got up from his spot and ran to his brother's side. As he approached him, he could hear Itachi groaning in pain.
Placing his hand on his shoulder Sasuke asked, "Brother are you okay? What is the matter?"Sasuke's voice came out as a stutter. He admitted, they had many problems but no matter what, he was going to worry about Itachi's well-being.
"Sasuke..." Itachi whispered.
"Yes, Itachi what is it? What's wrong?" he said leaning in closer to his brother. Itachi looked distraught, almost as if his soul had left his body. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Itachi reached out, flicking Sasuke's in the middle of his forehead. Sasuke jumped back in shock and glared at his brother who was smiling.
"Always so gullible Sasuke." Itachi said leaning back into his seat.
"You bastard! I thought something was really wrong with you." Sasuke said rubbing the spot on his forehead.
"Awww, was little Sasuke worried about me?" Itachi said in a demeaning voice, mocking Sasuke for his lack of perception. "Don't worry, the only time that I'll succumb to death is when you are fully prepared to lead our company." with a sigh Itachi continued,"Well now that the fun has passed, I have to get up early tomorrow for a meeting in another city so, I'll be heading to bed now. Goodnight Sasuke."
"Yeah, whatever, goodnight." Sasuke mumbled, when Itachi started to walk away Sasuke spoke again, "Itachi."
"Yes, Sasuke?" he said without turning around.
"Even though it's annoying as all hell, it's nice to see you laughing again. You… you don't do that as much since she left. " The last was a whisper, yet Itachi was able to hear every sounding word. Unwillingly, he flinched slightly.
"I see." was all Itachi said before leaving the room. Sasuke couldn't understand how he could be so strong. Yet, deep inside he knew it was all a facade. He was hurting so much from the loss, no matter how much Itachi wanted to hide it. Sasuke wished he new how to save his brother from the hurt. Sasuke left the dining room and made his way to his private study on the other side of the compound.
Walking through the hall, pictures of his ancestors lined the walls. As he walked a picture caught his attention. It was him when he was younger standing in between his mother and father while itachi told off to the right. He and his mother were the only ones smiling while his father and itachi had a stern look on their face. Even though the picture doesn't show it they were a happy family. His sweet mother showering him and his brother with an endless amount of of love while his father even though very serious took pride in Sasuke and Itachi. Those were happy days, that until they died in a plane crash leaving Itachi and him alone.
Thinking back then Itachi had been Sasuke's strength. Quickly taking over the family company while being the support Sasuke so badly craved. One day though, that woman came into their lives. She had been their light and then their darkness.
(FLASHBACK)
It was cold today. The wind stung Sasuke's face as he and Itachi walked through the cemetery. He held tightly onto a bouquet of white lilies, as the pair walked in silence. When they approach their destination, Sasuke felt his heart tighten as he stood before it. His parents resting place. He wouldn't cry, not in front of Itachi and not in front of his parents.
Suddenly, he felt a hand being placed on his head, looking up he saw that his brother, Itachi, was smiling down at him. Immediately, Sasuke's heart loosened and a sense of ease washed over him. Smiling back at his brother, Sasuke gave Itachi a nod before facing back to the tombs. Itachi lit some incense as Sasuke placed the flowers on their grave. It was one of those moments in which neither brother said a word, but exchanged so much. Both kneel before the tombstones of their parents and began to pray silently.
'Dear mother and father, I miss you deeply. Please do not misunderstand, Itachi is an amazing caretaker and I am grateful to have him. He listens to my problems, takes time out of his busy schedule to help me with my school work when I need it, pushing away my sorrows but he is not you. He spends most of his time either taking care of me or running the company. I know it's taking a toll on him. He looks more tired and is eating less each day. I wish there was some way to take the burden off of him.' No sooner had he thought that did a large gust of wind rush past Sasuke, out of nowhere a bouquet of flowers appeared landing onto Itachi's lap.
"Don't let them go! Please hold onto those flowers," the voice pleaded. Both Itachi and Sasuke turned their heads to the direction of the voice. Immediately, Sasuke was taken aback by the woman walking towards them. She had long black hair the stop at her small waist. Her eyes were so dark that they almost looked black, yet they sparkled and held so much depth in them. Her face simple yet had a sort of beauty about it. Sasuke turned to his brother only to see that he was too stunned by the mysterious stranger.
"Oh thank you so much for catching those, that wind came out of nowhere. It was so strong that I couldn't even hold onto my flowers," the woman said as she approached the pair.
Snapping out of it Itachi said, "It is no problem Miss."
"Mimiko" the woman said sticking her hand out, "Mimiko Misaki."
End Of flashback
Sighing once more, Sasuke felt his heart grow heavy at that memory. If he had known the heartache that woman would cause he wouldn't have allowed Itachi to even see her. He would have pulled him far away from her and never let him even think about her. She broke him and now she's gone, leaving Sasuke to pick up the pieces.
Suddenly a sharp pain stabbed him in the back of his eye causing him to fall to his knees. It was a pain like no other, slowly engulfing his eyes. His vision blurred, but no sooner did the pain appear did it disappear. Sasuke was baffled, where did that pain come from it was like nothing he had ever felt.
'Maybe it's because of all the stress I've had on my plate' he thought, 'I think I'll take a day off after all this is over.I think I'll go to bed early.'
The Next Day
"Uchiha sama, these document need to be approved." said one of the workers.
"Understood leave them on my desk," Sasuke said, not looking up from his papers.
"Uchiha sama, have you signed off on the kyoto documents?" he quickly handed the file to the worker.
Once all of the workers were gone Sasuke laid his head on the desk and let out a long groan. He hadn't a had a moment to even breathe today and the pain from last night had returned to his eye. He needed to a break just a moment to to gather his thoughts.
"Um um Uchiha sama?" an intern peeked his head into Sasuke office, "I need to know when you would like to schedule a date for the meeting with the Tsunade's apprentice. She sent you an email. Also, they need you in the Public Relations department as soon as possible. "
"Understood, look into my schedule to see what days I have free." he said as he got up from his seat. Immediately the room around him began to spin rapidly as the pain in his eye grew. Sasuke fell to his knees and he released a yelp in pain. His head felt like it was going to explode at any second.
"Uchiha sama are you alright, I'll call an ambulance. " the intern shouted as he raced towards him then all there was was darkness.
