Chapter XVII

Love Is So Twisted

Messing With Reality

All of a sudden Sasuke was pulled back onto the bed and he found himself out of breath, confused, and under his older brother. It was comfortable and not awkward in anyway, but it did make him hot and made him a little nervous. "Little brother, I have a question for you!" Itachi announced all of a sudden putting his nose close to his little brother's and then smirked when Sasuke's breath caught. This might just end up very interesting in the end.

'What was that? That could not have happened. I would never allow it!' There were many thoughts that he didn't understand running through his mind that seemed to escape him as soon as they came and the only one he liked at the moment was.

He had lost him.

Sasuke sighed in relief, he had lost Itachi. His disgusting older brother, trying to frame him into a sin that he didn't want, incest for damn sake! That was something he hated with a passion, think about what everyone else is thinking about at this very moment. It killed him; he hated his brother with all of his being. He hated him, he hated him, and he wanted to kill him! Sasuke paused a little in his walk.

Why did it feel so cold?

"I want to kill him"

To think about that mans death?

Like he had a gaping hole in his chest?

Hyuuga Hiashi crumbled the paper in his hand, he had no time for games, no time for riddles. He didn't need any more power, he was powerful enough on his own. Smirking, he knew what to do and he didn't need anyones help. All he needed to do was turn everything to his favor.

To change the past!

"No one can love, love doesn't even exist" He laughed "It's all in their heads and they will someday thank me for this" He now just needed to place his plan of attack in motion.

"Have you guys seen Sasuke?" Itachi asked as he ran out into the sanctuary's field where Deidara was playing golf with Sasori. Both the red head and blond looked up when they saw Itachi running towards them looking broken… lost…..and what was to say that at the moment he was not feeling empty.

"Did you two get into a fight, un?" Deidara asked tilting his head.

"No"

"Then….what happened?"

"I have no idea at the moment, but I intent on finding out!" That's when they heard a loud crash that came from the glass doors of the patio of the house and the said green beast. He came running and fell to his knees before Itachi. Itachi glanced down at the panting boy and then saw the note in his hand. All of then stared down as the boy quickly pulled himself together and grabbed onto Itachi's shirt.

"You must solve this, if you wish to save Sasuke's life" Itachi looked pissed as he pushed the boy away from him.

"WHAT DO YOU KNOW?"

"Ah! All I know is that Ino comes from a special family where they manipulate the body, but they can't manipulate the soul or everything of said person, there is something you must know!" Lee said quickly in one breath as he once more got to his feat and pressed the note to Itachi's hand "You must solve this riddle to find out how to break the spell with the answer before Hiashi and Haruno learn to lock it in place forever!"

Itachi was confused for a moment; he didn't have time for this. Looking down at the piece of paper he read it.

If you break me,
I do not stop working.
If you touch me,
I may be snared.
If you lose me,
Nothing will matter.
What am I?

People must really be out of their minds.

All Itachi knew he was that he had to think.

He had to solve this.

If he ever wanted his beloved brother back in his arms once again.

All of a sudden the sky turned dark and there was rain falling. "DEIDARA!" He heard Sasori's pained cry and he looked over only to see that the blond had attacked his red-headed boyfriend who was on the ground and now the blond was flying away in a clay bird. Soon evil laughter filled the air and both Sasori and Itachi looked up while Lee tried to keep himself from shaking.

"What the hell is going on" Itachi growled.

"HAHAHAHAHA!!" They saw Hiashi standing there, ten feet high, and Ino clutched in his hand looking like a dead little pixie in pale sick skin. "EVERY SEME OUT THERE, PREPARE YOUR DISGUSTING SELFS TO LOOSE YOUR UKE'S, YOU WILL NEVER HAVE THEM EVER AGAIN! EVEYONE ELSE PREPARE TO LOSE YOUR LADIES!" and as he said, the Uke's all stood beside him, even the females. Neji came running and looked up at his uncle with disgust.

"What the hell do you think you are doing?!" Neji yelled as loud as he could. He feared that his low must have sounded as low as the buzzing of a fly to his uncle though. Itachi on the other hand didn't care as well as Sasori, all they had in their minds was to get their lovers back in their arms.

"THIS IS MY TIME TO SAY WHAT IS TO HAPPEN; IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO PLAY MY GAME!" Hiashi laughed "FRANKLY I LIKE THESE ODDS" He said as with one finger he crushed someone's Uke. Who ever it was in the sanctuary had just lost his love.

"This is not good" Lee said as he shook, "Not good at all"

"I WANT TO RETURN IT ALL BACK TO THE BEGINNING! AND MAKE IT BE THE WAY IT SHOULD BE!" Hiashi yelled out and suddenly the ground shook, he cast his spell and time was racing backwards. Before anyone knew it every touch, every kiss, every word, every confession, everything being taken back and rewound to the beginning of the story.

To where Hiashi was going to change things and how they all begun.

In a Different Reality, It'll be all Italics.

"You are probably wondering why I have called this meeting" Fugaku's voice echoed through out the small barely lighted room where only his family was at the current moment. He stared hard at Itachi Uchiha, his eldest son, next to him Uchiha Sasuke, his youngest son was ignored. His wife slipped her hand into his and gripped it hard, his one and only lovely Mikoto. They had come to this decision. A test, and right now to actually make this decree he needed all the support he could get.

"Not really" Sasuke responded flatly. Itachi on the other hand blinked his eyes a couple of times, looking around and taking everything in. This had already happened…..this was before he and Sasuke even started. Looking to the side to his little brother, he hoped nothing had changed.

"Sasuke" He mumbled, but he was ignored.

"Well you should really wonder" Mikoto spoke and then cleared her throat focusing her attention solely on her eldest son now "Listen now Itachi" Itachi turned to face her knowing what she was going to say.

"Mom, don't-" She obviously was ignoring all his protests.

"You are to wed in a three months time son, you will be spending that little time with your soon to be bride in the mean time, and I mean all your time. You have to be good to Haruno Sakura" She smiled as if she thought that he ever liked that girl.

Itachi was not going to hesitate to kill everyone now–Not his baby brother though he needed to know if he was still his. Still, he felt like something had to die at that moment. Quickly as it came he reigned in his emotions and kept his apathetic look, he needed to find a way out already.

Itachi could tell that nothing was the same.

His mother looked to happy, his father looked to dull, and his little Sasuke looked to angry.

As soon as they were dismissed he tried to get his little brother's attention, but Sasuke was already walking away as if nothing mattered on the world. "Sasuke!" he called out, but no matter how much he tried he was seemed to be ignored. As if no one could hear him. Even as he tried to go after his little brother, the boy was gone before he even reached him.

"This can't be happening" Itachi mumbled to himself "this can't be real!"

"Itachi-sama, we have your tuxedo, your mother wishes for you to try it on" Itachi turned to look at the maid and shook his head.

"Not not, take it to my room" Looking down at his own hand he saw that he still held the riddle "there is something I must do first" She was confused and watched him run away. Itachi had decided to find the others, he needed to see how much this all had changed.

There was only one way to turn this right and get his little brother back in his arms.

That was to follow his heart.

Sasuke watched his brother run somewhere, how he hated his brother so much. Pulling a knife out of his pocket Sasuke stared at it. He needed to kill his brother, there was no way that he was going to let his brother steal Sakura from him. He had liked her since they were young.

She was his.

That's when he faltered, something made his head ache and he had to rethink everything all over again. It wasn't right……

Running the knife through his palm and cutting himself slightly, Sasuke sucked on the blood. He had wonder why he hated his brother so much and he really had no valid reason. Maybe it that he always wanted to be him, like him, something in there that he didn't understand.

Be near him and at the same time……It twisted him up inside,

So he always wanted to take everything that belonged to his brother and make it his. No matter what it was.

Sakura wasn't an exception.

She was just another thing in the way.

Never mind the love, he'd kill her to!

Itachi was running, he needed to find a way out. Sasori and Kisame where now at his side, both knowing they had once been with their lovers who were now missing. Thing was, could they trust anyone else?

"So, what is the plan this time?" Sasori asked and Itachi got to thinking as he read over the riddle. The answer, he knew it. 'One's heart' but as to what it was supposed to do or help them with. He had no idea.

"We'll have to see"
