Madara's grasp around Sasuke's neck tightened as Sasuke struggled to get free. "Please let him go!" Itachi pleaded.
Sasuke was totally confused. Now apparently Itachi was begging for Sasuke to live? "Maybe this is just a weird dream and I will wake up in my room at Orochimaru's layer." he thought.
"Why should I?" Madara asked, a smile going across his face. "He came to kill you, remember? He wants to kill you. If I let him go he'll just charge after you. Do you want that?"
Itachi stared at the ground. When he looked up, Sasuke's face was already turning purple. "Y-yes..." he whispered, wanting anything just to save Sasuke.
"Really now..." Madara said looking over at the 20 year old Uchiha. "Ok then, but if you get your ass wooped, I'm not helping."
"But..." Itachi said, focusing back on the ground. "You promised...you promised not to hurt him...let him go!" Itachi stood up and as fast as he could, he grabbed a kunai and headed straight for Madara. Madara easily blocked it with his free hand and thrusted Itachi backwards. Little did he noticed he let Sasuke go.
Sasuke got up, feeling weak and gasping for breath. He didn't know what was going on and just wanted to get the hell out of there.
Itachi fell down, still weak from his operation just a little while back. Madara lifted the Uchiha up by the collar of his blood stained shirt.
"Do you want to mess with me Itachi?" Madara asked, face to face with Itachi. "Your still weak from your operation. You should get more rest!" With that he threw Itachi onto the bed hard.
With out thinking Sasuke ran out of the room with Karin, Juugo, and Suigetsu closely behind.
"I'm sorry," Itachi said after Sasuke and his group ran out. "But...I quit."
"You quit?" Madara repeated, shocked. "Do you know what could happen to Sasuke if you quit? You do remember, right?"
"Yes I do." Itachi said, with a nervous smirk on his face that said, "You'll kill Sasuke but why would I want to be in a stupid organization like this just to save Sasuke? I could just protect him myself even if you can kill me just like that."
Itachi stood up and pushed Madara aside, who was still shocked, and walked out through the hole he had punched Deidara through earlier. He ran off, hoping that Madara wouldn't be able to catch up with him. Instead, he was too busy thinking, that when he came back to reality, Sasuke was standing right in front of him.
"What are you doing here?" Itachi asked, not taking notice of his surroundings.
"More like, what are you doing here?" Sasuke asked.
Itachi looked around and saw that he was right by Orochimaru's old hide out where Sasuke, Karin, Juugo, and Suigetsu were all hanging out at. "Oh..." Itachi said, feeling stupid.
"What do you want...?" Sasuke asked rudely.
"I...um..." Itachi couldn't find words to express how he truly felt about Sasuke. "Can...I...um...speak to you alone...?"
"Um...sure.." Sasuke said, taking out a kunai behind his back just in case something bad happened.
Sasuke followed Itachi behind a tree. "Um..." Itachi started out once he turned around to face his younger brother. Once again he was lost for words. "Sasuke...I...I'm so sorry!" he blurted out and before he could stop himself, he was hugging Sasuke tightly.
Sasuke felt warm tears over his shoulder as his older brother hugged him. Sasuke tried to struggle free and noticed the kunai that was in his hand was now on the ground. "Damn..." he thought. That was his only way of defending himself if Itachi was to strike at any moment. All he could do was try to defend, but, the longer Itachi held Sasuke and crying, the more Sasuke wanted to hug back and cry himself but he easily shook that thought out of his mind.
"Itachi..." Sasuke said, searching for words that were long lost in his mind. "What...was going on when I came in...?"
"Huh..?" Itachi asked, confused on what Sasuke meant by this.
"Back...at that place...there was blood and you were laying on a bed as pale as a ghost...what happened before I got there...?"
"Oh...well...its a long story..."
"I have time."
"Fine.." Itachi said, letting go of Sasuke. "I'll tell you...later." Itachi smiled down at his little brother.
"Your such an ass." Sasuke teased. Then, deciding to get back on subject he asked, "So...what really happened...the night the clan died...?"
"Oh..." Itachi said, looking down. Then he leaned in and whispered in Sasuke's ear, "I'll tell you when we're far away."
Itachi left Sasuke there while walking out from behind the tree. Sasuke just stood there. He didn't know what it was but he wanted to know what really and truly happened that night. "Why does he make me wait till we're farther away?" Sasuke asked in his mind.
"Sasuke, are you coming?" Karin called, waving her hand in the air.
"Shut the hell up Karin!" Sasuke yelled. "I'm not staying with you anymore. None of you."
"What do you mean?" Karin asked, shocked that Sasuke just said that to her.
"I'm following Itachi."
"What happened to the fact that you wanted to kill me?" Itachi asked.
"First I want you to tell me everything on what happened on that night. Then I'll decide if I want to kill you or not."
"Well then..." Itachi said. "Like I said...I'll tell you later."
Itachi started to walk into the abandoned layer. "Where are you going?" Sasuke asked.
"I'm staying here for a while. I need to gain my chakra back."
"Then I'm staying with you." Sasuke stated. "Until you tell me everything."
"Ok." Itachi said. "If you want to." Itachi couldn't believe that Sasuke was gonna be staying with him. He had dreamt of being with Sasuke again especially in his time of dying. He longed to see Sasuke smile like he used to when they were little. Itachi wanted Sasuke to call him aniki again more than anything.
Itachi and Sasuke walked down the stairs of Orochimaru's layer leaving Karin, Suigetsu, and Juugo in the dust. It was the start of something new but it was just only the beginning of something terrible.
Meanwhile...
"Deidara!! What the hell have you done to my office!!" Pein yelled angrily at the blonde boy.
"Um...It was...Kisame!!" With that being said, Deidara ran away as fast as he could.
Well...there we have it. The last chapter of "Taking Over" The new sequal should be coming out soon so just stay put. I know...I left off at a cliff hanger but...you'll just have to wait for the sequal. MUHAHAHA! I'm so evil...
so...review on how you liked the whole story and if the last chapter sucked or not and stuff like that...
