I think I no longer have to explain that it's a memory and that Sasuke will comment it. But circa every fifth chapter I will mention it again. Yeah… I'm lazy -_-

Disclaimer:I don't own Naruto or something else. I wish I could own Itachi. Damn… T_T Sasuke is going crazy and Itachi will never ever come back, life is sooo fair T_T

And… I don't own the almost done song.

Otouto – Sasuke's comments

Otouto – Thoughts (mainly Itachi's)

Info: Another long chapter, this time with a bit fluffy past. (I thought it would be better if I put more fluffy and sweet past into my story in contrast with the battles and hatred. It's getting a bit emo without it, ne? ;) Thought so too.)

Warning: A bit blood

Chapter 6 – Memories: It's my chance! Part two

Previous chapter:

The first sight he saw was a great amount of kunai flowing towards his direction. Itachi quickly reacted to that and jumped out of the way.

"Too predictable…" Looking up the prodigy saw a figure jumping out of the tree, landing on the ground and staring into his eyes. The sun now shone on him, letting his the blue shade of his black hair shimmer in the bright light.

"…Sasuke."

End previous chapter.

Now it was time, the moment I've longed for since the beginning of this test. It was time to show him my true power, my true skills, my true me. By god, this scene was nerve breaking.

Slowly their eyes met and the air seemed to become colder. "You used my trap. You cut the tread in order to activate the effect. Clever I must admit, but still not good enough." Although Itachi didn't intend to sound that emotionless his words came out with a cold coolness. It seemed that around Sasuke in training time he changed his way of speaking and acting though unintentional. Sasuke was silent, eyes closed, searching for an answer or rather searching for a way to fight back. He looked at Itachi for a short moment and then responsed.

"I know, it was your trap after all. That's why it was predictable. Besides, I'm not as weak as Naruto and Sakura, I'm better than them." He clarified and threw the kunai he used to cut up the rope at Itachi. The prodigy didn't move one bit and stayed unmoving on his spot. The knife only missed by an inch, creating a paper cut on his left cheek, blood drops appeared on the open cut. He rose his left hand, wiped with his thump the blood away and licked the liquid from his blood red painted skin off.

I licked my lips at this sight. Just the thought of drawing his blood and having a taste of it made a shiver run down my spine and I licked my lips in anticipation. As long as I can remember I wanted to taste his blood, his sweet thrilling blood. It really called out to me, tempting and seducting me to have a taste of it. I like the sight of blood and I know I will love the taste of blood… of HIS blood. Strange, I hate him, but I admire his Sharingan and I like his blood? Weird. Maybe I hate him but not all of him. And there's something else I also admire about him but that's an other story.

From the look in your eyes I can tell that you wanna taste my blood too. I can feel it, you want your fight. You'll get it, but you have to wait for it a moment longer.

Watching Sasuke's expression a moment longer the elder Uchiha began finally to response to his statement, catching his attention. "Yeah. Maybe, but maybe not, who knows. But…" Sasuke looked questionately up at Itachi's black eyes. "Rule number four: Never underestimate a shinobi's skills, never. An important rule if you want to experience the next day." He said emotionlessly and brushed his strays back.

#It seems like everyday#

#I make mistakes#

#I just can't get it right#

#It's like I'm the one#

#You love to hate#

#But not today!#

This only angered the ypoung Uchiha and his look became colder, a growl escaped his lips.

He's doing it again. He's playing with me. Always lecturing and critcizing me. For four years now he's doing that. I'm sick of it! So much! He thought angered.

He then became more furious and spit at Itachi in hate. "I'm sick of your lectures. YOU shouldn't underestimate ME! Got that!?" The elder Uchiha sighed and closed his eyes. Sasuke fisted his hand, bitting his lower lip in anger. He looked at his brother with hatred but was somewhat surprised by his silence. He let the rest of his anger flow through him and calmed down after a annoyed groan.

"You…" The young Uchiha started.

The hatred has disappeared for now, his voice quiet now, making Itachi paying attention as Sasuke went on. "You said, back then when we were younger, you said that I should search for a mental weakpoint at my worst enemy and not a short or a physical one. Rule number five, isn't it?" The prodigy's eyes widened for a moment in surprise and then a barely visible smile followed.

"Yeah, rule number five. But I also said that it should be a lasting one too. Do you remember, Sasuke?" Raven met raven in an in memories drowning stare, a pause followed after it. Then, the younger decided to break it with an quiet response.

"Clear and distinct. I remember every word you said in the past. I've never forgotten them, not one single word." Again silence followed, wind rushled.

"But sometimes you should forget about the past it might hurt you." Itachi stated and turned off his gaze from Sasuke's heavy stare and sighed. The moment he heard his little brother's voice he faced his obsidian eyes again.

"Like the present might hurt, isn't it, Itachi?" His voice became challengingly, intending to stab his brother.

Hurt, hatred and somehow despair lied in the air. Why do we always talk about these things? Why always about something painful from our damned past? Why? We were both right, Itachi and I: The past hurts as well as the present. But what hurts the most? Maybe the future, maybe something within us, maybe… I don't know. I'm not good in analyzing, most of all not in analyzing myself.

"Come on, enough of this talk, do your moves." Itachi changed the subject and it worked. Sasuke's lips lit up into an smirk. "For the first you're right. Let us fight, Itachi."

#So shut up shut up shut up#
#Don´t wanna hear it#

The young Uchiha took up a fighting stance and prepared himself for the next attack. But then he suddenly closed his eyes. He paused for a moment, overthinking his next step carefully. His eyes shot open and Itachi prepared himself for whatever will come. His eyes widened in surprise at his brother's next movement. Sasuke's hands came together to form seals in a fluid motion: First snake, then ram, then monkey, boar, ox and last tiger. With every seal his unseen chakra build up more in his body and gathered on a certain spot.

Is this? Yes, I know these seals. I know them all too well.

Sasuke's hands stayed still in the position of the tiger.

No doubt about it. It's THAT Jutsu.

"Fire element…" The younger muttered and his chakra changed into fire as he held his breath. Now all chakra was fully build up in his throat.

There is my Nin-Jutsu I wanted. A very familiar Nin-Jutsu.

#Get out get out get out#
#Get outta my way#

"Grand Fireball no Jutsu!" With that said a grand fireball flew towards Itachi. The fire burned the tips of the grass down and heated the surrounding, letting it climbing up in degrees. But the progigy only smiled at that, showing no sign of defense or intention of dogding it. He was just proud at how good Sasuke was at that family technique. It was the symbol and the whole pride of the Uchiha Clan, the symbol of a true acknowledged clan member. He was proud of him for performing that Jutsu. The hot fireball rolled further and finally Itachi took action. He simply jumped back far enough to dodge it.

"Is this all?" He asked his emotionless tone after rising to his feet. The fire has just disappeared leaving only little traces of ashes behind where it has blown over, the air cooled down to the usual tempature. "You forgot that I'm an Uchiha, Sasuke." Again their eyes met and anger streamed through Sasuke's body. He fisted his hands tightly and bit his lower lip harder than before, almost breaking the skin.

"Shut up. I could never forget that, UCHIHA Itachi!" He yelled at his brother. "You are a disgrace to our clan!" He went on and Itachi's face showed no difference, it was the same impassive look Sasuke knew so well. Still he thought that he had seen a trace of emotion displaying in the pits of the elder's raven eyes.

#step up step up step up#

#You'll never stop me#

It's true, isn't it? You see me no longer as a brother Sasuke, don't you? I have already turned into your enemy. How ironic that it ends up like this.

Sasuke rose to his feet and charged towards Itachi. "Rule number four, Itachi!" He called out and stopped his charging in front of his brother. His right hand shot out, trying to grab one of the golden bells from him. But the elder Uchiha saw this and turned his left side away to dogde it, catching Sasuke's wrist with his left hand. But to his surprise Sasuke's lips curled up into an big smirk, making the prodigy's eyes widen in surprise.

"Rule number four, plus rule number one!" The younger called.

His left fist charged, but this time not with the bells as their aim. The fist made contact with Itachi's body and he let out a loud gasp. Blood splashed out of his mouth, landing on Sasuke's face as the elder struggled to get his balance. Panting slightly he grabbed his right side of his chest and fell on his knees, grasping his chest in pain and coughing up more blood. Even with the effect of his painkillers he could feel the pain, the impact was too great for one single pill to take. The warm blood drops on Sasuke's face slipped down his cheeks. He then rose two fingers, rubbed all of the liquid off and put them in his mouth. His tongue licked the blood off and savored the taste of it. A pleasant shiver ran down his spine as he swallowed the rest of the warm liquid.

I can't describe the taste and the feeling of his delicious blood. It was so exciting, so wonderful delicating. Behind the usual metalic taste was the sweetest flavor I've ever tasted, making my whole body crying out for an other taste of it. Really, not only his blood is addicting but also other things about him.

Itachi's coughing slowed down to a none blood coughing. The pain in his body started to lessen as he still held on the aching spot with an softer grip now. The sound of his heart beat ceased in his ears and his breaths were calming down to an nearly normal pace.

How? How did he know?

He slowly rose his head and stared into Sasuke's black orbs. Then it dawned on him. "Sasuke, you-" His voice was a little weaker than normal, still emotionless.

#Nothing you say today#
#Is gonna bring me down#

"Yes, I know about your weakpoint. I saw your injury in the mirror, that's how I knew about it. And? Does it hurt? Does it feel good? Tell me Itachi, what about not having a weakpoint as a shinobi, as a talented ninja like you? Tell me." Sasuke provoked with a smirk and started to walk over to his so called big brother.

That's what happens when you think you can and know everything better. You're wrong. There are plenty of ninjas who are better than you – and I'm one of them.

Itachi came back to his normal breathing, his grip loosened more as he let his hand slip away. "It's not a lasting one, it will soon fade away into nothing." He smiled weakly at his brother and tried to get up but couldn't, his body felt like heavy metal. His weak attempt only resulted in falling back on his knees again. Sasuke could only laugh at this.

#There you go#
#You never ask why#
#It´s all a big lie, whatever you do#

Pathetic, Itachi.

The smirk on his face widened every step he took towards his brother. Itachi still tried to get up but his body seemed to loose his strength every time he tried. The elder Uchiha didn't even notice his little brother standing before him as more words fled then from his mouth, more cold words.

"You're weak. Your strength is weak, your attempts are weak, even your body is weak. You are truly weak. Your wound will fade, but it will fade into an remaining scar, always remembering your weakness, your mistake, your failure. So quit talking big words I knew that they are fake, only a lie, a sad excuse… like you."

#You think you´re special#
#But I know and I know and I know#
#and we know that you´re not#

Sasuke, sometimes I wonder if you really think that way of me or if you just say this to me break like you did after that fateful day.

Itachi shut his eye in cringing. The wound felt like tightening and he could clearly feel the blood staining his skin, he could feel the red liquid on him, like the rain drenching your clothes to a sticky mass. This was bad, his wound hasn't healed, it was just a day ago and after the punch it has burst open again. If the hit would have been harder Itachi would have more problems by now, but it was in a bearable range, so he decided not to bother and going on with this fight. Sasuke looked at him with a satisfied smirk, enjoying the sight of seeing his brother broken, but at the same time it hurt. But he ignored that. Without thinking his right hand slowly went to Itachi's collar, grapping him tightly and pulling him more closer to him.

"You are nothing Itachi… Nii-san." Words colder than ice as he directly gazed into his brother's black eyes. Their stare met, time seemed to stand still. Everything was forgotten, the tight grip, even the hatred seemed to vanish. They looked deeply into each other's eyes and were somewhat trying to read the other's mind.

Nii-san… a word I haven't used since the Uchiha slaughter. Since that day I don't consider him a brother any more. But I used it again, why? It escaped my lips, I didn't even notice that I've said it. But then a few seconds after it, it reached my mind. It was when I looked deeply into Itachi's beautiful black eyes. But in this moment of peace anger filled my feature, my hatred was back. He is not my brother, my Nii-san or my Aniki any more. But I wished that it would be still the case.

Then something seemed to snap and Sasuke's left hand shot out and slapped his brother's right cheek harshly. A loud hitting sound filled the air. Smooth pale skin turned into red, his hand touched the spot softly. Seeing the confused expression on Itachi's face, his shimmering eyes, Sasuke's own eyes filled for a second with regret but the next second it quickly vanished. Anger was now on his face again and the thirst to hurt his brother. Smirking malicously, he gripped onto the black collar more tightly, making Itachi cough.

"…One…"

The prodigy's eyes widen. Sasuke used his opportunity and punched him in his chest. He laughed to himself but stopped when he realized that he had punched a piece of wood. "Replacement Technique. Don't you have any better techniques? Come on, don't disappoint, not that much." He mocked and turned around, gazing into Itachi's eyes with that arrogant smirk on his face.

"I won't. Not more than I already did." Replied the elder Uchiha and his hands came together to form seals, his movements were much faster than Sasuke's, still the young Uchiha could follow them: snake, ram, monkey, boar, ox and tiger.

Itachi's chakra build up quickly, gathered in his throat fully and then changed into fire. "Fire Element, Grand Fireball no Jutsu!" He called out and a large fireball flew towards his little brother.

Of course Itachi's technique was better. He had more speed in performing and more chakra. That's why it was better than mine and why I was angry at that. He was always better than me and that angered me to no end.

Smirking even more, Sasuke took a defensive step back, watching the fireball draw nearer. "What are your intentions Itachi?" The fire heated again the surrounding, degrees increasing. Sweat appeared on the younger Uchiha's heated face, the bright light lit his pale skin, making the sweatdrops glimmer.

Again pathetic, Itachi.

"Don't forget that I'm an Uchiha too!" Sasuke called and wasted no time and imitated Itachi's movements, jumping back far enough to dodge it. He watched the fire disappear as the air cooled down. A breeze came up, making the young Uchiha's hair dance in glory. He smirked again and then noticed that his brother has vanished. Being a ninja he first turned around quickly to see behind him, but there was no one. "I know that you're an Uchiha too, Uchiha Sasuke." Said Itachi's voice out of nothing, he was nowhere in sight. Sasuke wanted to turn around again but he was too late. Itachi appeared behind him and pushed him face down to the grass. "Rule number one. Plus…" He trailed off, took another breath and finished his sentence.

"…Three…"

There is he again! Always lecturing me and thinking he is so much better! I can't hear it any more. He makes me really punch him and shut his mouth.

The younger struggled and squirmed under his brother, but to no avail. Itachi had one knee on him and his hands bound together behind his back with just one hand. He tried everything but nothing he did was enough to push him off him. It was like in former times, when they played together some childish games ending up with Sasuke catched under his brother and trying to get free. It was a ninja game, 'try to get yourself free in the most hopeless situations'. Of course Sasuke never won this game, only when Itachi showed mercy and 'let' his brother escape.

Suddenly the elder sighed deeply. "This situation remembers me of our past times. Do you remember? We played this game very often, you always thought you could win against me and just ended up being in my tight grip, remember?" Instead of giving an answer, Sasuke just growled.

I remember. Funny little games of us. I hated how Itachi always was the stronger and better one, but I liked this whole thing nonetheless. It was because when we played this he did spent his time with me. Even when it was just a short period of time, it didn't matter to me. I just wanted back then to spent time with my Aniki. Just that.

- Flashback -

It was a day as usual in the Uchiha's street. A few people were tending their business and another few talked to each as they randomly met. The sun shone as usual, warm and glowing. Just a handfull clouds hid the blue sky. A young boy ran down the streets. He had the Uchiha crest on his back, showing everyone that he is a proud member of this place. He smiled. His whole face was one of joy. Maybe it was because he had his acedemy day over but that wouldn't make you that happy. An old woman, saw him running past and smiled to herself.

"He looks everyday so happy, don't you think dear?" She asked her husband.

"Not everyday love, only when…" He trailed off and laughed.

"You're right honey, only when…" She trailed off as well and chuckled.

The little Uchiha boy was still running, speeding up even more with each step he took towards his aim – his house. He was looking forward being home. He wanted to be there so very much, but only because of one thing…

"Itachi-niisan is back from his mission today." He finished his grand-parents as he turned around a corner and spotet his house. His face lit up with that light you could see everytime when he was around his brother – Uchiha Itachi, the prodigy of the clan.

He opened the front door with enthusiam and ran to the kitchen, seeing his mother standing there and cooking some meal for the evening.

"Kaa-san?" He began, putting his bag down on the chair.

"What is it Sasuke-chan?" She asked, turning away from the stove and smiled at her youngest son.

"Is Itachi-niisan here?" He was getting impatient and already turned around, intending to leave.

"Yes, he is in his room, but-" She couldn't finish as Sasuke already was out of the kitchen and ran towards his brother's bedroom.

"He is probably busy." She finished to herself and shook her head lightly. As she went on with her cooking she smiled a true smile. Sasuke was really happy and she was happy that her son was in such a good mood, that's why she smiled.

He ran upstairs, almost falling down due to his clumsy speed. He reached the door, hearing a writing sound from inside that must come from his brother. The young Uchiha opened the door slowly, wanting to surprise his nii-san. Slowly and only with a tiny sound he opened it, peeking his head in. He smiled when he saw that his brother hasn't noticed him yet. So he continued to open the door fully. When he saw that his aniki was too busy with his work his smile faded, but it lit up again as a great idea popped up in his head. He made his way to his brother, wanting to hug him, but was stopped in his intention as he heard a familiar indifferent voice.

"I know that you are here Sasuke, you can stop being quiet and trying to surprise me."

Sasuke immediately stopped after this and turned his head sadly to the side. "I'm sorry Nii-san. I just wanted to surprise you because I'm happy that you're back again after three long weeks."

Itachi sighed, stopping his work for a moment. "No, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that." He turned around mentioning his brother to come closer. The young Uchiha did what was told and happily ran over to his aniki. But then he was rewarded with a poke on his forehead. He pouted.

"Nii-san, that was mean." He said and rubbed his forehead soothingly.

"You think so?" Itachi asked jokingly and with an playful smile on his face. "How can I ever make this up, otouto? Ah, I know. Come here." He padded his lap, gesturing his little brother to sit on it. Sasuke's eyes shone with joy and without a second hesitation he hopped in his brother's lap, cuddling against his chest.

"I'm glad that you accept my apologize. Good, then I can continue my work. I have to finish this report and give it later to Hokage-sama." He explained and grasped his pen again, writing his report.

Now little Sasuke pouted again and his joy faded. Yes, he was with his brother, but he was busy and didn't really pay attention to him. It sadded him. As he looked at the paper in front of him he had the urge to rip it apart, so that Itachi was forced to finish his work and spend time with him. But he decided against it, because his brother would be really angry at him and that was what he wanted the least. So he had another, better idea. He grinned. Itachi was half done with his work when he was suddenly interrupted. His paper has vanished. The prodigy turned around, seeing Sasuke standing in the door with his sheet waving in his hand. For a moment he showed no difference but then his eyes widened as he ran away with his report. Itachi wasted no time, he put the pen down and ran after his sometimes annoying little brother.

"Catch me if you can, Nii-san!" Sasuke called playfully as he chased down the stairs. Itachi gave no response as he haunted his brother, following him to the garden. The young boy looked back for a moment, his aniki was nowhere in sight, he smiled. But then he bumped against something and fell back. He looked up to see what has stopped him and his smile changed to an akward one with a little blush.

"Otouto, did you really think you can escape me?" Itachi asked, with his hands on his hip as he picked up his sheet, intending to go back. But he was harshly interrupted as he fell face down to the floor with his little brother clinging to his back and pushing him down.

"I won't let you continue Nii-san! You just came back, worked on your report and then you want to leave me again? No! I won't let you, don't do that." He begged. The thought of losing his brother again after three weeks of loneliness made him truly sad. He just wanted to spend time with him was that too much to ask for? Tears welled up in his eyes and threatened to escape. But before he could wipe them away he felt his brother shifting his weight and in the next moment Sasuke lay on the floor with his aniki above him, pinning his wrists above his head. Itachi wasn't straddling him, but still he felt caught. He couldn't move.

"Foolish little brother. Unfortunately you can't stop me from doing so. But if you can get yourself free I will spend the rest of the day with you and give my report tomorrow to the Hokage. So try, I'll give you five minutes for it." His tone changed, he was no longer playfully, he smirked instead. Sasuke tried, he squirmed and struggled to get his wrists free or push him off but nothing worked. Then he remembered that his legs are still free. He tried to kick them in his brother's stomach, but was catched before. Itachi used one leg and laid it across Sasuke's legs, resting it there and pushing them down everytime he tried to lift them. So his otouto was fully prisoned but he had one leg free for emergency cases.

"You have one minute left, otouto. What will you do?" He asked, seeing his brother struggle, but then the younger gave up and peered into his brother's black eyes.

"Let me go, please." He begged.

"Then you don't want me to spend time with you?" Itachi questioned, his tone dropped lightly, disappointed.

"I want, but I can't. I can't get free, I'm too weak, you're older and much stronger than me." His voice was filling with desperation, he was no longer comfortable with this situation. His aniki was mean to him. He knew that he was stronger and that he can't go up against him. Tears trickled down the younger ones cheeks. He turned his head to the side in shame, causing the rest of the tears to roll down freely. A hand came and wiped them away. When it hit the younger that he had no hands free and that it must have been Itachi's he noticed that he was no longer under his grip, he was free again.

"Why Aniki?" He asked and stood up, seeing his brother kneeling in front of him and looking deeply into his eyes.

The next thing Sasuke registered was that he was pulled into his aniki's embrace.

"I was stupid for acting like that and for being so cold to you, sorry. I don't know if you can forgive me for that but you don't have to, it's okay."

The warmth of his aniki radiated from his body to his own, making him feel safe and content. He then wrapped his little arms around his neck, enjoying this rare contact. After a few more moments of this lingering warm feeling he was lifted into Itachi's hold and was carried somewhere.

"Wanna sit in my lap while I do my work?" He asked softly, not sure if Sasuke already has forgiven him.

"Of course Nii-san." He answered with a smile and snuggled to his chest.

Itachi carried him back to his room and sat together with Sasuke on his desk, writing his report. After he finished it he noticed that his brother has fallen asleep in his lap and mumbled something in his slumber.

"I forgive you Aniki." Itachi smiled to himself, glad that Sasuke was such a lovely and forgiving little brother.

- Flashback end -

Sasuke still was under Itachi's grip and tried to get free. The prodigy sighed once more. "You never managed to get free. I've always had the upper hand. But I let you escape everytime, I was waiting for the day you would manage it without my help. Tell me, can you do it now?" He asked in a challenging tone. Silence followed, the Uchiha got no answer, Sasuke was silent. The wind still brushed by, the bushes rustled, but no single word was spoken after this question.

#You're always there to point out#

#my mistakes and shove them in my face#

#It's like I'm the one you love to hate but not today!#

"Can you do it now?" He asked again. The young Uchiha ignored this, again a pause followed and then Sasuke broke it with another question.

"I'll ask you again. What are your intentions? Why don't you use better techniques, most of all, why don't you use you Sharingan?" Itachi saw the meaning behind this question, sighed and responsed in an monotone voice.

"Because this is no fight with our lives on line, no serious fight with death." Sasuke growled angrily at this answer and tried once again to free himself, but again it was all in vain. The prodigy gave him an almost pittiful look and had to fight back the urge to show him mercy and let him free. This was a test after all, so he had to be mean in order to test his abillities.

"What are you waiting for, Sasuke?" Itachi spoke up again, breaking this frightening silence. "What are you-" He tried to ask again, but his body stopped him, a cough could be heard. As a reflex, Itachi withdrew the hand which held Sasuke's wrists together and used it to cover his mouth and coughed into it.

#So shut up shut up shut up#
#Don´t wanna hear it#

Damn, my body is showing his presene, but why just now?

A mocking smirk spread across the younger Uchiha's face when he saw the prodigy letting his guard down. "I was waiting for the moment you'd forget rule number one!" He retorted. He used the moment Itachi withdraw his right hand and pushed him off with a strong half spin of his body. Itachi only had his knee on him and was distracted due to his coughing so he had no strength to fight against it and landed five feet behind Sasuke.

#Get out get out get out#
#get outta my way#

Got him. I did it. I managed to get free though it was with the help of cheating. But I did it and even with Itachi's own fucking rules, with his own damn weapons. Shinobis always use all tricks to get their goal and so did I. Who said that a ninja is fair? Who said that is life is fair? No one. Besides, life was never fair, never.

Proud of himself the young Uchiha gave Itachi his best smirk, showing him that he CAN free himself, even with the help of the god damned rules of his. The elder first looked surprised at him, still wondering what just happened but then he smirked as well. "Well, not bad Sasuke." He admited in an lightly challenging tone and rose to his feet, while pushing the dirt out of his clothes. The young Uchiha crossed his arms and made himself comfortable, still smirking and speaking with an cold voice."You're right, I'm not bad but you, you are pathetic. You forgot your own rules und you call yourself an Uchiha? A genius? The true heir and pride of the Uchiha Clan? No, you're just a sad excuse."

#step up step up step up#
#you'll never stop me#

Itachi frowned and turned away from his brother. Sasuke used every chance to stab him mentally. Sometimes it was difficult for the elder Uchiha to just swallow the insults of his little brother. He was really good when it comes to insulting - hurting one other runs in the Uchiha Clan after all. So with a quiet sigh Itachi grasped his necklace and let his grip tighten for a moment.

"What are you gonna do now, Sasuke? You failed in Nin-Jutsu and could only free yourself because I was distracted. So tell me, how do you intend to pass this test?" Itachi looked in Sasuke's eyes, he was thinking for a moment but then he gave him an arrogant smile, putting his hands on his hip.

#nothing you say today#

#is gonna bring me down#

"I still have my Tai-Jutsu and that will be enough for you!"

#Is gonna bring me down#

#will never bring me down#

With these words said Sasuke charged at his brother, jumped high in the air and threw a fist at him. "But you won't land a hit on me, Sasuke." Itachi replied and dogded the attack by simply stepping aside. The young Uchiha missed his aim and landed hands first on the ground. He then made immediately a sommersault and jumped off the ground back to Itachi by using the impact.

"Let's find it out, Itachi!" He called out and threw another fist. The progiy smirked lightly knowing what will come now. He could read his little brother like an open book, his attacks were still predictable.

"Come on, Sasuke!" He provoked his little brother, setting him even more on fire than ever. The Genin threw a few shurikens at him but he simply dodged them, stepping only one step aside. But that was Sasuke's intention. He used it to let his brother focus on before him and maybe above him but not below him. The young Uchiha jumped off the ground and charged forward, slipping past the surprised prodigy's legs. His hands linked with the ground, keeping him steady while his legs strechted out, aimed to kick Itachi from behind. But the elder Uchiha sensed it and reacted to that. He spun around quickly and catched both of his brother's ankles. Sasuke let out a pissed off growl. Now he was in a bad situation: legs catched, his hands used to keep his balance - simply, stuck.

"What now?" Itachi asked with an smirk on his face. "Give up now?"

Sasuke began to laugh in an mocking manner, smirking as well. "The day hell freezes over!" Giving up was no option, instead going on was the only accepted way. Only the fight between him and Itachi could make the younger Uchiha feel so thrilled, fire flowed through their veins, even Itachi could now feel the adrenalin rushing through his body. The fight was getting more interesting by every passing second and worth it showing more hidden skills.

Was it bloodlust? No, it was rather fightinglust. My heart began to speed up, my hands were trembling and my mind set on fight. My Uchiha blood pumped faster, filling every pore of my body with fightinglust and the urge to win this. Everything around us could wait, only me and Itachi and this fight, only this did now as the one and only existing thing matter to me. Only this.

AN: Finally! Sixth chapter is finished! God, when I wrote this I could feel the excitement Sasuke must feel in this fight and I also could feel that Itachi also has his fun in this fight. My own hands were trembling when I wrote it and heart beated faster, I think I imagined myself in too deep. Btw… the scene were Itachi embraced Sasuke on his knees was an inspiration from a picture I saw in a Youtube video of the two. Ah well, see ya next chapter!
