Kk! I got a few requests to write about what Itachi does after the whole ordeal with Sasuke and Naruto. I wasn't gonna make one at first and just leave it all up to your imaginations, but I was attempting to lull myself to sleep the other night when my over-active imagination kicked in again and I thought up a great way to end it all. I felt happy with it and fell asleep. Kinda sad that events like this going on in my head actually helped me fall asleep...T.T. Anyway, this is solely from Itachi's point of view, but there are some parts that are through Deidara's eyes. Briefly. Its mostly Itachi.

Warnings: Okay, well, first off, this is an extension of a yaoi, so there is mild yaoi in here. Oh, and there's carnage. People die terribly. If this was its own thing, it'd probably be a horror thing. It's a little sad, but you'll probably like the ending.

Disclaimer: If I owned any of them, they would never have died.

Now! On with the story!

"Itachi, un...," the blond murmured, stepping over to the solemn raven, "What are we going to do now, un?"

"Did you pay your respects, Deidara?"

"Of course, un. To the both of them. That they could be happy and be reborn together, un."

"Good. Thank you," Itachi all but whispered.

Deidara walked over and wrapped his arms around the older vampire's waist, resting his head against his back.

"You don't need to thank me, un. Sasuke was your brother. I thought of him like that too. Its so hard for me to accept he's really gone, un...I could only imagine how unbearable the pain must be for you."

Itachi turned around, wrapping his arms around the blond and laid his forehead down on the other's shoulder.

"I...I can't help but feel its my fault this happened to him. I drove him away. I let him go..."

"Its not your fault, un. He left on his own. And if he hadn't, he would never have fallen in love, un."

"Hn..."

"You've done all that you could, un. You scattered his ashes and gave his lover a proper burial, un."

"There's only one thing left to do."

"And just what do you have in mind, un?"

"Avenge his death."

"Hmph, sounds good, un."

Itachi lifted his head to place his lips over Deidara's. He pulled the blond tightly to him and kissed him deeply. He broke and gazed down into icy blue eyes.

"Help me?"

"Always, un."

Itachi sprouted his wings, Deidara following suit, and flew up high. They soared over Konoha until Itachi decided to touch down on the top of the tower where they originally found Sasuke's remains.

Deidara touched down and watched intently as Itachi closed his eyes to concentrate. He opened them again and a wave of obsidian flames took hold of everything within his sight. Whenever Deidara managed to witness Itachi's Amaterasu, it always managed to take his breath away.

The flames burned through everything they touched and quickly spread to cover the entire village. The blond watched as the villagers started pouring out of their homes, screaming and calling for help.

"Deidara."

"Yes?"

"How much clay do you have with you?"

"Enough for anything you have planned, un."

"Good. Fill the sky and cover the ground."

"You got it, un."

Deidara created a flock of clay birds which he set loose into the empty sky. He then set loose a horde of clay spiders to fill the streets. He was about to set off the detonating chain when Itachi stopped him.

"Wait. These humans have no idea why they are being attacked. They need to know who is doing this to them and why."

"Right, un."

Itachi stepped forward and called out, his voice booming over the village. Everyone turned to look.

"Citizens of Konoha! Earlier this day, you witnessed and encouraged the execution of a being known as a vampire. That vampire's name was Uchiha Sasuke. That vampire loved someone of this village. His name was Uzumaki Naruto. By killing Sasuke, you have deprived this couple of the love they deserved to share. By killing Sasuke, you have brought on the death of your beloved Naruto, the one you were trying to save. By killing Sasuke, you have made matters personal with me, his elder brother, Uchiha Itachi. And by making matters personal with me, you have brought it upon me to pass judgement on all of you. And your sins shall not be forgiven. You have all condemned yourselves to Hell."

When the raven finished, the crowd started an uproar of terrified screams and curses; rushing in a futile attempt to protect themselves or try to stop Itachi.

The raven watched blankly down on the frantic village and turned back to the blond.

"Now, you may, Deidara."

"Right, un...KATSU!!!"

One of the birds detonated sending a chain reaction of explosions throughout the sky and along the ground destroying buildings and killing everyone who hadn't already been burned to death by Itachi's flames.

"I can't allow you to keep on with this massacre. How dare you destroy this village."

Itachi turned to come face to face with the white haired, masked ninja that spoke to him.

"Yes. How dare I seek vengeance for the life of my beloved little brother, my last remaining family, one of the only two people I care for. Yes, how dare I...you must be Hatake Kakashi, yes?"

"Yes."

"You were one of the main ones who collaborated with your leader to inflict this punishment upon Sasuke, yes?"

"Yes, I did."

"Then I will make sure you die a painful death."

Itachi opened his arms, and as he did, taking Kakashi by surprise, thousands of ravens poured from the sky to attack the masked ninja. The first flurry ripped at him and caused him to bleed through numerous cuts and gashes. He tried to fight off the rest, but no matter the power of his attacks or how many of the midnight birds he'd managed to kill, the ravens continued to swarm about him. They didn't even register if he'd make a kage-bushin and would attack only his real body. They continued to pick at him until he was devoured alive.

"You...you monster..."

Itachi turned to glare into the horrified eyes of Tsunade.

"No. I am no monster. The monster here is you and your vile people who have mercilessly destroyed my brother. You...," Itachi stepped closer to the blond Hokage, "...have not only killed my brother, but you tortured him through his captivity up until the moment of his death."

"I...I was protecting someone important to me!"

"Yes, Naruto. The one who was so completely distraught by the death of his beloved, which he was forced to watch by you, that after a fit of tears, decided to take his own life within the sanctity of his own home."

"W-what?!"

"That is correct. By trying to save Naruto, you caused him to kill himself. If you wouldn't have intervened, Sasuke and Naruto would both be living happily together and your village would have been spared. However, you decided to kill Sasuke, knowing full well I was out there, and you caused all of this to happen."

"No..."

"Yes. This is your fault."

Within the blink of an eye, Itachi was right in front of Tsunade and had a grip around her throat, holding her up in the air.

"You tortured Sasuke. You denied him blood. You starved him. You tore out his stomach."

Itachi dug his hand deep into just above her abdomen and ripped out her stomach. As blood gushed from the wound, he held it in front of her and crushed it. The acid splattering onto her clothes.

"You denied him the love he deserved. You ripped open his heart."

Itachi drove his clawed, bloody hand into the blond's chest and dug his nails deep into her heart. He then slowly proceeded to tear it open.

"You condemned his to a death he did not deserve. You burned him alive!"

He threw the Hokage down onto the ground, her body splashing into the large puddle of blood beneath her. He closed his eyes and opened them once more to envelope Tsunade in the flames of his Amaterasu.

Itachi watched expressionlessly as the blond woman before him burned to death, her blood-curdling screams of utter pain and agony having no affect on the raven.

"Itachi, un..."

Itachi turned back to his beloved blond.

"Deidara, let's leave."

"R-right, un."

The two sprouted their wings and flew off into the night.

--

After touching down at the old Uchiha mansion they'd managed to keep in fairly good shape, they sat down upon the stairs of the walkway.

"Deidara."

"Hmm? Yes, Itachi, un?"

"I'm tired."

"Nothing much left is there?"

"No."

"I'm alright with it if you are, un."

Itachi turned to Deidara and cupped his face, kissing him deeply.

"I love you Deidara."

"And I love you Itachi, un."

They both started to smoke and eventually caught flame as they held each other lovingly, watching the sun rise in a beautiful palette of red, pink, orange, and gold that neither of them had seen in centuries.

The flock of ravens promptly dispersed.

--

Itachi stood, a blank look to his face as he took in the sight around him. It was a grassy field, flowers were in bloom, and the sun was shining. Deidara was by his side. There were many people around. Laughing and smiling amongst themselves.

"Itachi! Itachi!"

Itachi turned his gaze upon a raven haired boy, about seventeen, approaching him.

"Sasuke?"

"Yeah. We've all been waiting for you. Everyone's here. Mother and Father too. We can be a family again."

"A...family?"

"Yeah. And before you go talk with them, I just wanted to say that I was never upset with you. I never bore any kind of ill will toward you. You're my older brother, Itachi. I love you more than anything. And...what you did for me back there, I appreciate it. Thank you for everything Itachi."

"And thank you for taking care of my body," a seventeen year-old with short, spiky, blond hair and stunningly blue eyes added as he poked his head from behind Sasuke.

Itachi smiled softly.

"Anything for the one who could make my brother happy, Naruto-kun."

"Well, you two should go visit Mother and Father," Sasuke spoke, "they've been anxious to see you again."

"C'mon, Sasuke! Let's go!"

"Alright Naruto, hold on," Sasuke stepped forward and pulled Itachi into a tight hug, which he returned, "see you later Itachi."

"Itachi!"

Itachi looked over to be caught in a tight embrace by a shorter raven haired woman.

"Mother."

"Oh, Itachi! We missed you so much."

"I missed you too."

"Isn't everything just wonderful here?"

"Yes, Mother. It is."

"So, this is Deidara, eh?" questioned a tall, strong-looking, raven haired man.

"Yes, Father. This is the one I love."

Itachi pulled his blond close and wrapped an arm lovingly around his waist.

"Hello, un."

"He's such an adorable young man."

"Thank you Mother."

"So is Naruto. Oh, he's so sweet and Sasuke loves him so much."

Itachi looked ahead and saw Naruto tackle Sasuke to the ground. The raven boy then proceeded to flip them over and lean down to place a kiss upon the blond's lips.

"You know what, Deidara?"

"What, Itachi, un?"

"...I'm happy."

"Me too, un."
