I'd like to thank Perfect Dreams for your review! :D I dunno what's so friggin' great about it but I've read it like... sixteen times now in the past three hours it took me to type this... everyone love her know because that review managed to motivate me into another chapter in the same day! Chuu~ I found the sugar! -squee- ^w^

Itachi awoke with a splitting headache the next evening, he actually couldn't tell he'd slept a full day but he'd done it. He looked around the withered remains of the dull lifeless cabin, the bright colors had died with the woman it seemed and only dark browns, greys, and blacks remained. The groggy Uchiha slowly wavered to his feet, his head feeling to light and pounding like the woman was beating his skull in.

Itachi slowly left the haunting remains of the woman's home and found that the building collapsed right after he managed to get outside. Itachi didn't even spare a glance over his shoulder as he started off towards an exit to the mist forest, it would take forever to escape this place with his migraine.

Four days later had found Itachi back at his 'home' in Ame, the rainy city having little effect on the emotionless Uchiha. He was a day behind his schedule and he figured Pein would want to know why he'd taken longer then need be. The raven strode silently to the leader's office and tapped neatly on the door twice before awaiting the familiar voice to call him.

After being aloud into the room, Itachi took notice that there were four figures in the room one of them being his grinning partner, Kisame. "You're back." the god realm spoke. Itachi nodded, "I have killed the woman just as you had ordered." he replied quietly, he was feeling this lump in his throat and it seemed to catch his words too easily.

Itachi quickly moved his vision to another darkly cloaked figure that stepped forward, "What did she say to you?" a smooth voice inquired and it was painfully obvious that it belong to an Uchiha, no other creature could have such a beautiful voice. "She said she waited eight years for me and that I will suffer for the rest of my days." he replied.

The room went silent for a few moments before the figure stepped back to where he'd stood before, "I... see then, did she tell you how long you have left?" Itachi just shook his head, unwilling to answer the question with even a 'hn'. Kisame made a 'tsk' before raising his sword, "Can we get on with this? I'm getting tired of all the suspense and shit." he growled out roughly.

Pein nodded and strode towards Itachi, "Itachi," he said as he stood three feet from the tense Uchiha, "We thank you for your aid in getting rid of that troublesome woman, but..." he trailed off, "But I don't need you anymore." Madara spoke up and before anything else could be said Itachi was just plain gone. "Damn!" Kisame said and lumbered out after the weasel like the hunting hybrid he was, he would kill Itachi when he finally caught the Uchiha.

Three weeks had passed after that day, Kisame had been unforgiving when he'd found his former partner in the woods. He left the weasel half dead and beaten senseless, the only thing that was keeping Itachi to life was the curse which had called Zetsu to the two and informed Kisame that he was to stop now and back off, the younger Uchiha was in the area.

Itachi was leaned against the trunk of a tree as his tired eyes stared at the sky, damn that woman and damn Zetsu for stopping Kisame! His breathing came in quiet pants, his ribs cracked or broken and digging into the tender organs that were inside the weasel's chest cavity.

His glazed vision noticed a darkening on the sky via and person standing over him. He heard nothing but his own heart beat as he waited for the darkness to consume him but it never came. Curse his horrid luck and his stupid life that never seemed to go out...

Sasuke looked down on the beaten figure that refused to even notice him at all; he was shocked to find his brother out here like this. But then again ever so happy that Itachi had laid himself out for the taking.

"Hello Itachi." he said as he stooped to kneel in front of his brother's half dead form. All of team Hebi stood at the ready near by, Karin watching her beloved Sasuke-kun meet with his brother for another unfriendly meeting.

Sasuke grabbed Itachi's chin in a cruel grip and made the other look at him, "Bastard, what have you done to yourself? Did I waste my life getting stronger only to find you at death's door in the woods? Hn, pathetic." he scoffed, leaning Itachi's head upwards and let it rest like that.

Sasuke looked down on his beaten brother before he drew his sword, damn how this turned out, he wanted to fight Itachi to the death but when you are handed such a rare gift that will never come again, one learns to take it and enjoy.

Without a word, Sasuke slit his own brother's throat and watched in mild satisfaction as blood leaked out of his aniki's parted lips and a line formed at the cut. Sasuke turned a moment later and walked off, he stopped nearly three seconds later as his mind made a new choice and Sasuke smiled at the cruel ideas he now had in mind.

"Karin!" the female snapped to attention, her eyes on Sasuke and not his brother, "Yes?" Sasuke quickly dropped the smile and sighed, the sigh a fake to hide his giddiness, "Fix my brother, we'll be taking him with us." he stated before walking off once again.

The woman ran to Itachi like her life depended on Itachi's fading one, Sasuke noticed Juugo following him in a silent stalk, fish boy missing since Kisame's scent hung in the air. Sasuke tried to keep his smile off his face as he walked, his thoughts focused on deeds he'd make to ruin his brother's life to the point it wasn't one. Oh how the younger wanted to start now but Itachi could not respond at the moment so the boy had to wait, "I will enjoy this..." he breathed into the spring air.

So this is chapter two and I know its small but I wish to ask you guys for any ideas of what Sasuke will do to Itachi?

We all know Rape's on the list so don't worry about that! ^^ Let you minds run wild and come up with something fun and painful! I'm sadistic as it is so there will be lots of bad stuff but I want to mix in some outside ideas into the mix to please a few lovely reviewers.

I love my reviewers! :D
