This is the last chapter in my story. It's a special ending so you don't have to read it of course, but go ahead if you want to.

Hope you enjoyed my story!

A simple knock on the door and the slap of wind of the front door.

Just Before…

Mayu knew there was something odd about the air in the woods. There were less bird chirps and wolf howls. Where did all the animals go? But of course, they were hiding. Staying out of seen from the mass amount of chakra and evil that was coming they're way. They sensed it and they had enough common sense to play it safe. Mayu lays awake in her bed, clutching the kunai underneath her pillow. The man lying next to her starts to stir.

"Mayu, why aren't you asleep?" Itachi's sleepily drunken voice spoke. When he didn't get an answer, he sat up, looking at Mayu's dazing face in worry. Mayu was silent as she too sat up and started staring at the wall opposite her. Her brown hair swayed across her face as she turned toward her love.

"Something's coming. Something very powerful." Fear showed evidently on her face and Itachi's natural onyx eyes turned to they're Sharingan state.

"Can you tell who it is?" He said as he slowly got up, tying his hair in a black scrounge and slipping on his cloak. Mayu jumped up and stopped him from grabbing his weapons.

"Itachi! I don't know who he is, but he's very powerful!" She clutched his arm as he looked at her. Suddenly her body went rigid and she dropped the grip on Itachi arm. Itachi stared at her in horror.

"…He's…Here…" How the hell did he get here so fast? I swear he was miles away a second ago…

…

The whole of Akatsuki heard the load 2 knocks that came from the entrance. The huge boulder stood strong protecting the headquarters from the forest air, but in the eyes of the angry man standing before it, it was an easy obstacle. His pale fist knocked twice on the boulder.

I'll give them 5 seconds…

5

The Uchiha's blood boiled thinking about how he was going to kill his brother.

4

The accomplished feeling that would rush through him.

3

The relief in 'saving' his friends from Konoha's biggest threat [Besides himself of course]

2

Ah, how great the satisfaction would feel.

1

And his destiny would be fulfilled.

The face that the Uchiha made, was the perfect example of what an Uchiha was. An emotionless, arrogant, bastard that usually got what he wanted. After years of trying to pry away his best friends impact on him, all that was left was hate. And hate was exactly what took over him as he swiftly pulled the katana from the back of the ropes, tied securely around his waist. Sasuke eyed his sword in envy. It's going to be doing more killing than I am. A slight smirk appeared on his features as his sharingan activated. Electricity charged chakra appeared running from the black haired ninja and into the sword, giving it a godly blue. Oh, how he despised that sword at the moment. The Uchiha leapt into the air, and cut the rock in all directions and with the speed of a cheetah. The rock seemed unfazed, until the electricity moved through the minor scratches in the boulder, exploding the rock into a billion pieces. Sasuke's own current as a shield form the harmful pieces of rock and he made a step forward, getting closer to what he desired. A massacre.

Itachi stood in the safety of the shadows as his 'little' – not so little anymore – brother. His red eyes watched intently as Sasuke blew up the barrier between them. Sasuke took a step forward with his head slightly bent, not paying any attention to the gigantic 2 hand sculptures in front of the Demon Concealer, for that was not his target, his brother was. Itachi watched him with suspicious crimson eyes.

"Come out, bastard. I know your there." Sasuke spoke calmly and with no emotion. His head now slightly for aligned to where Itachi was hiding in the shadows. His older brother smirked as he gracefully stepped out of the shadows.

"Sasuke, you've grown." His voice was deep and arrogant. He said it in a way of triumph, like he was the reason for Sasuke's strength. Well, he was.

"Yes. To kill you, Itachi." Sasuke said in a dark tone, glaring daggers at his brother but physically remaining calm. Itachi's smirk curved upwards in the right corner of his mouth. How amusing. Itachi took a step forwards and stopped when a cry was sounded from the corner. Itachi sighed and Sasuke's eyes opened more slightly.

"Hm?" His head turned in the direction of the shriek and in a flash; he was behind the beautiful brown haired woman and with his katana to her head. Her eyes widened in shock. "Mayu, it's been a long time." Itachi turned around, facing his love in the hands of his murderous younger brother. Mayu only whimpered at the feel of the cold sword against her head. Itachi's expression didn't change, even though deep inside him he felt deep concern for his love, being in the hands of an unstable murderer anyway. Itachi sighed.

"Sasuke, she's not the one you want to fight." Sasuke just smirked and gripped the kunai in a firmer manner. Itachi sighed mentally. He's always been so stubborn! "Okay Otouto, if you want to fight me then lets go outside." Sasuke immediately let go of Mayu and speeded out of the chamber, onto the knee-deep pond outside, which of course he stood gracefully on top of. His brother met him there shortly after.

"Itachi...'' Sasuke was allowing his anger towards his brother to finally come out and his blood boiled. "I've finally come for you. 8 years living in your shadow and another 7 years training to kill you. You already know what I've done and who I'm acquainted with..." But Itachi interrupted.

"So did you kill him yet? Are your eyes the same as mine?"

"No..." But Sasuke was already charging towards Itachi with his Chidori Current. Itachi surprisingly stood his ground and smirked as Sasuke got closer and closer. Before Sasuke could even touch him, his body dispersed into a series of birds. His otouto's eyes widened in shock as he cussed when he felt a kunai to his neck. Itachi held the kunai firmly to his neck.

"Now. Are you going to listen to me, or do I have to torture you?" The younger Uchiha was about to test his brother's wits and urge Itachi to torture him, but he thought otherwise.

"Okay bastard. What do you have to say?"

"I love you." The words were enough to make Sasuke go mad. What the fuck is he talking about? Blood boiled and his hands started to tremble. Years of training and torture and he tells me he... loves me. Itachi's grip on the kunai slightly loosened, but even Sasuke was too busy fighting himself to notice. "Everything I did was to protect you. Those years ago, I was forced to kill every single Uchiha, but I just couldn't bring myself to kill you. If I did then I would of murdered myself and then who would protect Konoha?"

Snakes squirmed around from under Sasuke's sleeve and slithered down his arm. Mayu braced herself for what was going to happen, as she hid in the trees miles away, using her eye technique to perform the one jutsu that she hadn't ever practiced. Temporarily copying an eye technique and in this case – the Byukagen.

"You..." Sasuke's strained voice slightly rose in anger and his cursed seal came out. The large hands on his back swung at Itachi's face, but he dodged it. "You're lying."

Mayu's enhanced senses could sense the pack of ninja coming closer to the hideout. But of course, they were too far away, they would miss the fight. Still she prayed for they're arrival. Naruto... hurry. Time stood still as Mayu watched the brothers stand still for a good minute. All she knew was that one of them was in the others illusion. But whose?

"Sasuke. Stop this. I have something to show you." Sasuke snarled in response further twisting the sword into Itachi's stomach. The older brother coughed up blood as he pleaded, while the younger Uchiha just stared into the wound he was inflicting.

"Fuck!" He yelled as feathers appeared on his sword, Itachi dispersing once again into black birds. The real Itachi appearing in front of Sasuke with Mangekyo Sharingan eyes. In the millisecond of time before Sasuke stared into Itachi's eyes, he activated his own Mangekyo Sharingan. Hence the scene that Mayu saw of the two brothers staring at each other. In the brief second that was each others illusion, they made each other watch day by day what each of them went through which included key events as the Uchiha massacre [both views], Sasuke's defection of Konoha, Itachi's betrayal, Sasuke's massacre of 'Hawk' and of Orochimaru, and Itachi's sorrow in joining Akatsuki. 10 seconds went by before they both ended each other's illusion, fully aware of what the other person just saw.

"Oh." They both said in unison. For they knew not what they did to each other during these years. Mayu appeared in the scene, standing between the brothers with her head toward Sasuke.

"Sasuke-kun, your friends are coming for you. When I say 'go' I want you to kill Itachi." Sasuke's eyes widened as his friends fumbled with the sword he was holding.

"Excuse me. What?" He was still contemplating if he really wanted to kill his brother, after he saw how much shit his brother went through just for his own well being.

"1."

Naruto was speeding through the trees of the forest, estatic that he was finally going to catch him. The one kid that he tried so much to befriend, but ditched him in the end. Not that he mattered since Sasuke's mind was really clouded with thoughts of revenge. No one truly hated Sasuke for what he did. Especially Sakura and Kakashi who followed footsteps behind Naruto, trying to keep up with his inhuman sprint. Naruto was now running on all fours, fangs poking out the curve of his mouth. Sasuke!!!!

"2." Mayu took a deep breath as she prepared herself to witness the death of her love. Sure it would be hard, but Sasuke's life was much harder than Itachi's. "Go." Mayu stepped aside as she watched Sasuke shut his eyes tight and drill his katana into Itachi's heart, receiving the sound of blood gushing out of Itachi's mouth.

"I'm not dead Aniki." Itachi said from the top of the hill nearby the headquarters. Sasuke's eyes widened as he looked back and forth from the 'man' he killed and the real Itachi standing some feet away. "Now return to Konoha a hero." And with that the Itachi on the hill ran off. Mayu still stood near Sasuke smiling as she lightly pecked Sasuke on the cheek and disappeared to follow Itachi.

"Naruto." Sasuke said in a deep voice as he turned around to meet the people who loves him just as much as Itachi. Naruto was so shocked by Sasuke's non-violent response that he turned from the 1 tail Kyubi form and back to normal. Sakura spoke up.

"So you really killed him?" Sasuke pulled the sword out of 'Itachi' and turned around to meet the faces of his childhood. "Does that mean that we can stop chasing you Sasuke-kun?" He slightly smirked. Kakashi bent his body forward in fatigue and panted. Naruto just stared.

"Well?!" Naruto yelled at the black haired ninja. Sasuke nodded.

"Yeah. Is it okay to come back home?" He asked Sakura and allowed himself to get bear hugged by the pink ninja. Even wrapping his own arms around her. She let go and smiled at him. Kakashi fell from exhaustion and Sasuke walked over to him and picked him up on his back. Naruto walked up to Sasuke and stood right in front of him.

"You're a fucking bastard you know that? And yes, you are allowed back in our village. Under one condition." Sasuke's eyebrow raised in confusion.

"What is it, Dobe?" Naruto smiled with his eyes squinted and pointed a finger at himself.

"You have to tell everyone that I kicked your sorry ass and convinced you to come back, teme."

"Sure sure." They smiled/smirked at each other as they exchanged an official punch in each others shoulder – a signed and documented agreement that everything was okay.
