"Sakura! Naruto!" Kakashi shouted, suddenly appearing in the dorm Naruto and Sasuke shared. "Where's Sasuke?"
"What's the matter?" Sakura asked, immediately sensing the danger. "Did something go wrong?"
"It's Itachi that's behind this whole thing. He knows everything! He was feeding our spies information. This place isn't secure. We need to leave now," Kakashi said in a hurried voice. "Where's Sasuke?"
"Gone," Naruto said, "He's somewhere with Suzuki-Sensei."
"What?" Kakashi asked, his eyes narrowing.
"What's the matter, Sensei?" Sakura asked.
"He's a new teacher, therefore it's a good chance that's one of Itachi's disguises," Kakashi said. "You two are coming with me. We have to find Sasuke."
"It-Itachi," Sasuke whispered, inwardly shuttering at all he had done with this man who was really his brother.
"You're disgusting," Itachi told his brother, "Sleeping with your own flesh and blood. You pervert. I bet you enjoyed it, didn't you?"
"I'll kill you," Sasuke promised, quickly going into an offensive position. "I'll make you pay for everything you've done to me."
"I hear you're still planning on marrying that women Mother and Father engaged you to all that time back," Itachi said casually, ignoring what his younger brother was saying.
"What's it to you?" Sasuke asked, his eyes narrowing. "What I do with my life is none of your business."
"Oh please," Itachi replied, "I run your life Little Brother. The very purpose of your existence revolves around me. It is your own doing that involves me in your life, Little Brother, there is nothing I can do to escape it."
"Even if that's true, you still have no say in it. What I do is my own business," Sasuke argued.
"Although I do find it quite comforting," Itachi continued, once again ignoring his brother, "Always knowing I'm on your mind warms my heart."
"You're disgusting," Sasuke spit, wishing desperately for weapons.
"On the other hand, it's quite unfortunate to know that the person you've tried to help the most wants you dead," Itachi added, still not paying any attention to the other Uchiha.
"Excuse me? Just what the hell have you done to try and help me? You've been nothing but a nightmare that looms over my head for as long as I can remember," Sasuke said with honesty.
"I killed the entire clan for you, I became an outlaw just for your benefit," Itachi explained, "I'm hurt you don't appreciate all the things I've done for you."
"Killing everyone that I knew and loved was supposed to help me? How?" Sasuke asked, his voice rising.
"Mother, Father, everyone…they were all pointing you in the direction they wanted you to go. You were never allowed outside the Uchiha Villiage's walls, your wife was decided for you, you had no friends except cousins. The clan stole away my life from me," Itachi explained, emotion showing in his voice, "I tried to give those things back to you."
Sasuke just stood there, not saying anything out loud. Inside he was screaming at himself. Should he trust what his brother was saying? Did Itachi really care about his well being?
"Now here you are, free from the clan, and you're still trying to do all the things they tried to make you do. You're more tied to them than every before," Itachi complained, showing hurt and disappointment on his face.
"After Mom and Dad died I didn't know what to do," Sasuke explained, just now realizing it for himself. "I-I'm so weak…I can't even decide things for myself."
"I should have destroyed them sooner," Itachi decided, regretting that he had waited so long. "They polluted your mind. They're demise wasn't fast enough."
"Following others is a personality in our blood," Sasuke explained, his voice distant, "It's as hereditary as all of our other abilities. We are meant to live as servants."
"You don't have to though," Itachi urged, "Come with me. I may not have the most lawful life, but it might be good for you."
"How did you suddenly decide I don't want to kill you?" Sasuke asked, his voice returning to its threatening tone.
"I don't," Itachi answered truthfully, "but you need time to absorb this information. In the meantime I can train you so you don't fall behind in your studies. If you still want to kill me after everything that I've told you feel free to try at any time."
"Training with you is like betrayal to the entire clan," Sasuke argued, "It's a betrayal to my teammates and Kakashi."
"Who cares about them? They're part of your past, Little Brother. You aren't tied to anyone right now. What do you choose?" Itachi asked, reaching his hand out to play with Sasuke's hair again.
"Where's this teacher live?" Kakashi asked hurriedly as he raced along the village streets with his students.
"It's not far from here," Sakura assured while she looked around trying to remember which way to go.
"This way," Naruto helped, jumping in the lead before making a sharp turn to the right.
"Do you think Sasuke's okay?" Sakura asked with anxiousness prominent in her voice.
"Sasuke can take care of himself," Kakashi guaranteed his students while his own apprehensiveness just seemed to grow. "We'll get there in time to help him."
"I'm going to kick Itachi's ass if he did anything to Sasuke," Naruto declared with determination.
"It's the house up ahead," Sakura announced excitedly as she pointed to it. "It's that one. Let's hurry."
Kakashi dashed ahead, kicking down the door without even stopping his sprint. "Sasuke!" he shouted, wasting no time in exploring the house.
Sasuke was standing in the middle of the bedroom with nothing on except very short shorts. Itachi was right beside him, dressed in the exact same shorts and holding his little brother against his chest.
"Sasuke, what's going on?" Sakura asked, as she stood right inside the doorway alongside Kakashi and Naruto. "What are you doing?"
"It doesn't look obvious?" Itachi asked, holding onto Sasuke tighter. "We're having a brotherly bonding moment. You've just interrupted us. It was very rude of you."
"I'm going to go train with Itachi," Sasuke explained, letting Itachi pull him even closer to his chest.
"If you do that then you'll become a criminal too," Kakashi explained, "You'll be hunted just like your brother."
"I don't care," Sasuke said in an indifferent voice, "I'm through with following stupid laws and rules. I'm doing what I want for once in my life."
"What are you talking about?" cried Sakura as smoke started to swirl around the two brothers and gusts of wind knocked everyone into one another.
"This is a mistake!" Kakashi yelled, trying to fight the winds that round around the criminal and his naive brother. "You don't know what you're doing Sasuke!"
"What are you trying to do?" Itachi asked over the screams Naruto and Sakura were making as well as the noise of the winds. "Are you trying to be Saskue's father? He doesn't need one. I suggest you look after yourself instead of others," he advised before sending a giant fireball toward Kakashi and his two students.
Sasuke just stood still and watched as everything went on. In short seconds he was whisked off by the winds with Itachi and heading to a destination the other ninjas couldn't think of to save their own lives.
You're probably screaming, 'No Sasuke, don't go!'
Don't worry, I've got the ending and I happen to like it alot. And it does end on a happy note for those of you wondering.
Thank you to everyone whose already reviewed. If it wasn't illegal to marry more than one person I would purpose to each and everyone of you. I'm sorry, I can be kind of creepy at times.
I'm going to try my best to update more often as a 'thank you' to all my wonderful reviewers. I don't know if I can, but I'll try my best so wish me luck on that challenge.
