Itachi's Mission
Chapter 5
A light chuckle could be faintly heard above the howling of the wind outside.
"Sasuke Uchiha, your body will be mine."
The next day
"Hey Sakura do you want to go out on a date with me tomorrow?" Naruto asked while crossing both fingers next to his hopeful and bright face.
"Naruto, how many times do I have to tell you! I'm only interested in going out with Sasuke! Geez you ask me out every single day and every single time I say no, why don't you just take a hint and stop pestering me!"
"Sasuke!" she squealed with delight "I was waiting for you, um do you want to go out with me this weekend, you know out to a restaurant or something?" Sakura smiled sweetly while flirtatiously batting her eyelashes.
Sasuke seemed to be staring out into space thinking about something with a serious look on his face, obviously not paying attention at all.
"Did you hear me?" Sakura wailed.
"Hm? Were you saying something?" her face dropped down in utter embarrassment, she couldn't even get the guy of her dreams to even listen to her while she was addressing him.
"Never mind" she replied in utter defeat, while Naruto smirked behind her.
Sasuke was returned back to his previous thoughts, the questions of why Itachi's necklace was laying on the dirt road in front of his house, the fact that he actually kept the piece of jewelry, and why he seemed to be missing the stoic and powerful Akatuski member. The boy was full of unanswered questions, and some maybe he really didn't want answered at all.
Flashback
"Aniki! Can you take a bath with meeee…pleeeease?" Itachi looked down at his adorable younger brother tugging at the bottom of his pant leg. He cursed to himself how weak his otouto could make him, if it was anyone else he would just turn around and walk the other way without a second thought, but Sasuke could get him to do just about anything.
"But Sasuke big boys take baths by themselves, you do want to be a big boy don't you?"
"If being a big boy means taking a bath by myself then no, I don't want to be one" he said crossing his short little arms across his chest with the cutest little smirk Itachi had ever seen.
"Alright then" he sighed "but not too much splashing, the last time we took a bath together the bathroom floor became soaked with water".
"Hey! But that wasn't my fault, you were tickling me, so I couldn't help it!" the little Uchiha shot back.
"Hn, it's not my fault my otouto is so ticklish" and they continued the light banter to the bathroom.
"I want lots and lots of bubbles big brother!" the younger of the two cried out.
After Itachi decided the water was at the right temperature he lifted his now unclothed otouto into the water and bubble filled tub.
"Is it warm enough Sasuke?"
"Yes, it's just right! Hurry up aniki I want to play with you" Sasuke exclaimed looking up with a small blush upon his cheeks.
Itachi was now inside the tub resting, his back leaned against one side with Sasuke comfortably sitting on his lap, his back against Itachi's strong chest.
"Tell me a story aniki, tell me about your last mission."
Itachi smiled and gave Sasuke a small kiss on the back of his head "lets see where should I begin?"
"Ow!" Sasuke felt a harsh slap across his face. "Earth to Sasuke, hello anyone home?" Naruto questioned staring at the other's face.
Sasuke just gave the hyper one a glare, and if looks could kill Naruto would be dead, he then stood up and walked in the opposite direction to continue his thoughts.
The sun was slowly going down and the birds had flown back to their nests, there was no one else outside it seemed, besides himself with his mind still full of thoughts.
"What are you thinking about foolish little brother?" a deep low, and almost sexy voice was heard by the young Uchiha.
Sasuke stopped dead in his tracts, did he really just hear Itachi's voice, or was he just hearing things? And why was his heart beating so fast? Soon enough a puff of grey smoke appeared out of no where right in front of the boy. Sasuke stepped back and coughed a little from the puff of smoke, he waited until the smoke cleared out and saw a pair of deep dark eyes not unlike his own.
