Sasuke slept silently for the rest of the night and woke early to the sweet smell of bacon and eggs, They smelled just like the way his mother, but that had to be an illision. The boy sat up moving to the front of the tent before standing up rubbing his eyes Aniki what are you trying-" He stopped when he saw the figure. The figure wasn't his brother and none of the other men in the group. The figure was his own mother. Tears began to form in his eyes as he ran toward the figure wrapping his little arms around her.

Itachi watches him closely from a tree, a small smile gracing his lips as the "mother figure" smiles down at the younger Uchiha and wraps It's arms around him.

The young boy would not let go of his mother his eyes filling with more tears as he buried his face into her dress. "... Please don't leave me again... I promise to be a good boy... I won't look at anything bad..."

The figure simply nods and turns around, going back to cooking.

Sasuke blinked when she didn't talk back, quickly he whipped the tears away.

Itachi jumps down from the tree, quickly landing next to his brother. "Otouto."

The boy looked to his brother fearful running over to their mother standing in front of her protectivly. "...I-I won't let you kill her again..."

"I do not intend to." He closes his eyes and sighs. "Who do you think brought her here?"

The boy stayed silent looking away.

He sighs and turns away. "Well, if you want me gone that baddly.."

"... I want to be a family again Aniki..." The little boy spoke sadly. "... I promise to be a good boy..."

He shakes his head. "Is that really what you want?"

The boy nodded again as he looked to his brother.

"... As you wish." He continues walking away-

The little boy followed after his brother grabbing hold of his hand. "... Aniki are you leaving again...?"

He looks down at him. " ..." He continues walking.

"... Did I do something wrong...?" The bot was almost about to cry when his brother wouldn't answer.

Without another word, he jumps up into the trees and disappears, his thoguhts jumbled up in his head

The boy tried not to cry as he watched his brother leave. "... Aniki hates me now..." He spoke sadly as he turned running back toward camp to his mother clutching her dress as he watched her cook breakfast.

his "mother" simply looks down at him, petting him before going back to cooking. Soon it is done, and she makes a plate for him.

The boy smiled brightly watching her make his plate he was getting use to her not speaking back to him.

She gives ot to him, moving away from him to clean up the mess that had been made.

The boy sat on the ground wating happily, but stopped after the first bite. The food didn't taste like his mother's... It didn't taste like it was made out of love.

After her goal was accomplished, the woman sat at the fire, staring into it blankly-

The boy looked at her confused as he ate the horrible food not wanting her to be upset with him.

After a few hours, Itachi shows up again, sitting next to the mother by the fire. In his hands was something for his little brother-

The little boy was fast asleep against his mother's leg. Even though she held no more warmth the young boy would not leave her side.

He sighs and places the box next to him. "How long will this have to go on, Sasori..?" he turns his head to the puppetmaster in the shadows.

"... As long as you want this Itachi I think he's noticing something is very strange about his mother now..." The man spoke sadly.

"I know... We need to come up with something... and fast."

"... Itachi should I make her attack Sasuke he would hate her afterwords..."

"... I hope you're right, puppet..."

In one quick move Sasuke was on the ground on his back gasping for air his mother sat above him herhands around his throat. The little boy's eyes widened as he gasped for more air reaching up to her trying to touch her face.

Itachi growls and grabs the puppet by the back of it's throat, forcing it to let go of his brother. He throws it off to the side. "Otouto! Are you ok?"

The little boy was shaking badly as he inhailed deeply trying to catch his breath. "... Mom... She tried to kill me..." The little boy struggled to stand moving toward what he thought was his mother.
Itachi steps infront of him. "Otouto, don't!"

"... I did something to upset her..." He looked to his brother sadly.

"Of course you didn't... Mother has gone crazy."

The boy looked to him sadly still before running over to his mother kneeling next to her pulling on her shirt. "... Mom... I'm sorry...""

The puppet's eyes opened quickly as she grabed hold of his arm pulling him down to the ground pushing him down into the ground roughly. "... Mommy..."

Itachi moves swiftly to push her off again, playing along. "Mother, stop this!"

The woman's eyes looked to him they were filled with malice and hatred as she stood back up.

"Sasuke, go! Run!"

The boy wouldn't move from where he sat tears started to roll down his face. "... Don't hurt mother!"

"She'll kill you!"

The boy wouldn't move from where he sat as he lowered his head. "... If mother wants me dead then I'll let her... She's my mom..." The little boy rubbed the tears on his face smearing dirt across it. "... If you wanted me dead then I wouldn't fight you... cause your my Aniki..."

As the puppet made to jump on him, he stabs it with a kunai, where the "heart" is. "Gomen, Otouto..."

The little boy looked to his brother sadly before running off toward his mother's corpse. The boy flinched when he sat beside. Sadly the little boy looked to his brother then shifted the kunai used to their mother in the heart was now in his stomach. "... Aniki..." The puppet still had enough life left for one last attempt to kill the little boy.

He growls softly and kicks the puppet clear out of the area, going to his brother and laying him down.- Don't move, Sasuke. SASORI! -He calls for the puppeteers help.

The man jumped out from where he was the little boy looked to his brother sadly reaching for him.

He caresses his face gently. "Shh, I'm right here... Sasori, fix this. Now."

The man nodded as he pulled some bandages from his sleeve. "... Mom really hated me..." The little boy looked down to his wound.

"No no... Mom had problems..."

"... Aniki...I feel really tired..."

"That's just the blood, Sasuke... you're fine... Right, Sasori?" He stares at him sternly.

Sasori looked at Itachi before looking down. "Sasuke don't fall asleep..."

He glares slightly. "I swear If I lose him, you lose the ditzy blond."

"It's not my fault your the one who gave her the weapon..." Sasori looked down to the little boy slapping his cheek. "Sasuke you got to stay awake ok?"

he mumbles, looking at Sasuke. "Otouto, come on... we still have to swim and I have so much to teach you..."

The boy looked to his brother sadly his eyes lowering. "... Sasuke stop it!" Sasori shook him this time as he tightened the bandages to stop the bleeding.

Itachi firmly smacks him in the face to keep him awake. "Don't leave me, Otouto..."

"... Aniki..." He spoke sadly as Sasori leaned down picking him up into his arms. "WE have to take him to a village Itachi."
