The Perfect Plan
ItaSasu
Author's note: Okay, this one is slightly different. And a bit shorter… I think? I haven't typed it up yet so I'm not sure. xD Well, it looks short in my notebook.
I like to call my document names highly educated and clever titles. Such as "ssssddfdd", "aassshdhkjhsj" and this title, which is my particular favourite "dfdfdsssssssssssggggoog". Well there you go. A happy little fact for you to think about and impress other people with at dinner parties.
Thanks for the reviews, darlings. You make my day happy happy. –love and hearts-
Chapter 8 – Patience
I slept uncomfortably, until I was roused by something as it hit my head and a moment later I heard a door slamming shut. Oh, my cell door.
I opened my heavy eyelids to find a small roll of bread. My empty stomach yelled at me to eat it and I immediately wolfed it down, too hungry to worry if it was poisoned or not. It was stale, but it tasted good nonetheless. And I don't think it was poisoned.
As I ate, my mind wondered once more to Sora. I felt my face grow hot again as I remembered the kiss. I cursed, wishing I would just forget it… I wondered where he was and If they'd hurt him any more. Had they fed him too?
My body felt slightly rejuvenated after my restless sleep, but my mind was tired from all the questions constantly buzzing around in it.
"Ugh…" I grunted, trying to bear the recently acquired headache. I wondered if Sora had come round yet. Or had the blow from the sword killed him? Well, the sharkman can't have deliberately tried to kill him, otherwise it would be pointless taking him to another cell… right?
Where was he now? What was he doing?
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Stage 1 complete. I'd got his attention. The next step was to gain his trust. And what had just happened hadn't even been a part of my plan. It had been an added bonus. Though, as I sat there at the table, I found myself putting my fingers to my lips, smiling inwardly. In that moment our mouths had touched, I'd felt the ultimate release. Something I'd only dreamed of doing had happened so suddenly and so quickly. He was much softer and sweeter that I could ever have imagined. The kiss was only fleeting and I wished I could have enjoyed it for longer.
"I don't know why I'm going along with this," Kisame said from across the table. "It's just amusing to see if it's a success or not. Makes this life slightly less boring."
I watched him closely as he tore away at the fish with his razor-sharp teeth. He was half monster, so I accepted that he didn't fully understand my motives and what my plan was about.
"It won't fail," I said firmly, looking down to my plate, picking up a portion of fish with my chopsticks before putting it into my mouth neatly and eating it.
Four of us sat at the table, the other two being Deidara and Sasori. I sensed they were certain my plan would fail but they would never outright oppose me. They thought it was sick. They thought it was twisted. I hated them for it, longed to kill them. I couldn't though, because they were vital to my scheme and I needed them. They were only really going along with it because they knew that if they went against me, I would kill them.
But my plan would not fail. I hadn't sat around doing nothing for eight years. Everything was planned down to the finest detail. I'd replayed the scenes over and over in my head until I was happy with them. It was the perfect plan.
I wanted him. And when I wanted something, I would make sure I got it.
It had all started that day watching the clouds. I'd never forgotten his words: "I want to touch your heart, aniki." That was the day the plan hit me. It was as if it had fallen straight out of heaven and onto me. I loved him more than a brother but little Sasuke was too innocent. If he knew my real feelings, what would he do? I hadn't wanted to taint his purity. And I hadn't wanted the clan to hurt him because I loved him. If I'd tried anything then, he would have been the victim of it and I could have ruined his life.
That was why I killed the clan. I did it for him. I had to eliminate the cold stares and whispered words. Using my Mangekyou Sharingan, I took away his memories – if he knew I was his brother, he'd hate me. If he knew I'd killed the clan, he'd definitely try to seek revenge on me. It was so risky and could easily go wrong, but I wanted him so much that I'd do anything to have him.
My back was stinging, but that pain was necessary to the plan because Sasuke had to believe that I'd hurt myself for him. That was the key to gaining his trust.
"So, Uchiha Itachi," said Deidara. "When are you gonna go 'rescue' him?"
I just looked at him. I hated when they questioned my actions like this. I would go when I wanted, when the time was right. If I was anything, it was patient. I would do everything in my own time and with the utmost care and precision. If anything went wrong, my chances for success were ruined. I would be diligent and as long as everything went smoothly, the prize would be sweet.
He still had my coat. I'd been wearing it for eight years now and I felt so … incomplete without it. It made me feel better though when I imagined him curled up under it earlier. I'd tucked it neatly around him so that he'd stay warm and then I sat back and just watched him sleep. It was just like it had been so many years ago.
To him it was just an ordinary black coat but I had created and cast a very high class genjutsu on it to hide the red clouds. So far, it had fooled even the Hokage. Sasuke would have to eventually find out about my connection to the Akatsuki, but that was a long way away.
First, I would make him love me enough to forgive me.
Author's note: YAAY! Change of point of view! -dances- Well isn't that just something to celebrate, ne? Okay, I'm annoying even myself at the moment, so I shall calm down a bit. –takes a deep breath and eats a potato chip-
Woah, and it's tiny. xP
Right. So was that okay? Itachi's kinda OOC, I guess, but only in that he loved Sasuke. And if he didn't this fanfic would be completely redundant. 8(
I'm too lazy to put anything else in this section today. So for now, I shall say goodnight and adios to you all.
So here it is: Goodnight and adios. Xx
