When Bad Meets Evil

Trust You

Sasuke had never ever been really told what to do; he always did as he liked.

Yet the way Itachi was looking at him, he knew his older brother meant what he had said and that he didn't have to hesitate. He never answered his phone when he didn't know who it was that was calling; he always just went on by himself and what he had felt and right now he really just wanted to smash the phone down on the floor 'Trust me' that was what he had said to Itachi and it was what Itachi expected of him, and yet it was so hard to do.

To be trusted, and trust someone else

It was hard

Instead he thrust the phone into Itachi's chest and shook his head "I can't do it, I can't. You answer it!" Itachi looked at his brother worriedly. All he had asked of him was for him to answer the call and the boy now seemed to be freaking out. Nodding his head slightly Itachi took it and answered it, all the while Sasuke stared at him in disbelief. How could his brother just be like that….so confident in no matter what it was? How could he have answered the phone without knowing who was calling…..or "Hello?"

Why was he the one over thinking things?

"Yes, it's me Itachi, stop yelling Deidara"

He had even started this game with an unfair advantage; he could feel the old man nearing them. Yet at the same time he was slowly working to kill the man before he even got here, and he had not said a word of it to Itachi. Itachi had actually expected to work as a team, and take the old man down together. He watched as Itachi talked with Deidara and the others over the phone, he didn't seem scared to even say a word.

Unlike him

That kiss they had first shared……what was it?

And him asking Itachi to become his boyfriend so suddenly…..was that really what he wanted.

It scared Sasuke.

It scared the hell out of him, who was he anyway……he couldn't tell a lie from the truth, nor could he even come to terms on trusting himself, and if he couldn't do that then he couldn't trust Itachi. Itachi sighed as he gave away where they were at and snapped the cell-phone closed. He turned around to return it to his little brother only to find that the boy was already long gone. "Sasuke!" he yelled out. Desperation filled him then.

He needed to find his little brother now, and have him in his arms.

He was not about to let him go.

"They are in west California" Deidara said as he turned to the others "We have to buy a ticket, their grandmother is so going to kill them if we don't save them or something! We have to support them, un" Kyuubi shook his head as he wrapped his arm around Naruto.

"I don't think they need us there with them, I say we should all go home" Kyuubi hissed, this was already no fun and Itachi then went missing and he had really no clue what the hell was going on. He felt left out, especially when he couldn't kill anyone. Though even though Kyuubi was not concern on what happened to both brothers Naruto and everyone else was so they simply ignored him.

"Is Itachi alright?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah, Sasuke came to his aid" Sasori's eyes widen for a second when Deidara said that.

"Wait, how is that possible, none of us ever got the chance to tell him that Itachi was in trouble." Kyuubi yawned again, hadn't they just called Sasuke's phone and gotten Itachi on the other line instead. As for how Sasuke might have known, Kyuubi had an idea.

"The granny could have told him, she had Itachi prisoner as well as the phone and the number, she could have called Sasuke and told him everything and la, la, la, so they could kill him and now she has them trapped like flies who need our help……I think" they all nodded at that and decided to hurry up and go find both brothers. Naruto on the other hand had to drag Kyuubi all the way, who all the while just wore a bored expression with really no desire to go anywhere.

'I was really hoping for something more exciting'

Itachi looked around, but Sasuke was no where to be found.

But he had to be here!!

Once he had felt that the old man was getting near he had turned to Sasuke and was going to tell him to go hide, but when he did the boy was not there anymore and that alone was the scare of his life. It made his heart falter for a bit, but he knew Sasuke had to be around here somewhere hiding already. So, now he was searching for him 'Sasuke, where are you' was that desperation on his own part? Was he really getting attached to something he really never had?

Deciding to calm down he stopped, lost in this maze of houses and western styled desert he really felt lost and alone with no way to get out. Where was the old man? Had he somehow gotten to his Sasuke? That thought alone scared Itachi, if taking his eyes off Sasuke one second would mean this much anxiety, then he was going to have to keep the boy on tight watch at all times, this was going to be a pain. It was sure to annoy Sasuke as well as him.

Sasuke on the other hand had been looking for a way out as well, in a discreet way that would not draw Itachi's nor the old man's attention. Of course, inside his head he could hear Itachi calling for him and he didn't know weather to run away or run to Itachi……he was being torn apart by his own feelings. He decided to run away, but he not really thinking about where he was heading simply ran in one direction and sealed his faith.

Opening his eyes, Itachi looked up and narrowed his eyes something blurred past him and he knew it was Sasuke.

He chased after it without hesitation. "SASUKE!" he called out. That unexpectedly pulled at Sasuke's heartstrings, he being the boy who was still lost inside. 'Stay away, stay away!' and yet still torn about telling him 'come and get me'

"You are mine!" Itachi was not going to stay away. He needed to think of a way to catch Sasuke, looking around a few things caught his eye, and that caused him to smirk. It was perfect to tie Sasuke down with and keep him in place without the fear of loosing him again.

Grabbing the rope that was thrown on the floor, Itachi decided to rope Sasuke in. Disappearing from view and silencing his thoughts, capturing Sasuke wasn't a difficult task. The boy was already confused from the beginning that he had no idea on what he was doing; all he kept thinking about was getting away. So, before Sasuke knew it a rope loop landed around him and then tightened around his waist and arms, pinning him into place leaving a hopeless chance to even run away as he nearly fell forward. "Why are you running?" Itachi hissed as he came into view, he was pissed as much as he was glad that he had found and caught the boy.

Apparently Sasuke had not been able to bring himself to go far, Sasuke wished that he would have gotten far now though. This was simply humiliating. Sasuke soon started debating on weather to speak or not, when all of a sudden, he gasped, time ran out and there was a loud explosion. It sent every house shaking and every glass rattling. It confused Itachi greatly as he looked up and there was a sand storm now heading their way.

"How did….who…"

"I'm sorry" Sasuke muttered, but there was no time to respond before Itachi had jumped on him and pinned him to the ground. Sasuke barely had anytime to react to the fact that Itachi was protecting him from the heavy storm that was about to hit them.

Both of them were soon under the sandstorm getting buried under it, as if the sand was trying to erase everything that had ever happened there. Trying to get rid of the bad memories, cover them in a layer of dust and wish for new ones to come on fresh new layer. But that was probably never going to happen.

Itachi held on tight to Sasuke all that time.

All Sasuke could do was hope that Itachi was never going to let go.

Annabel was rushing through the airport, not caring if she bumped into someone or not, she cursed when she saw that there was a long line. "I need to escape as far as I can, somewhere where that old man won't find me….but as soon as…..this is all my fault, I lost my grandchild and all due to his twin brother having to be alive, damn you Fugaku" All the while that she was muttering to herself about this and that, she had not noticed that her older brother was there.

Uchiha Madara.

Having heard enough of his muttering to concern him with his family he decided to make himself known "What was that, Annabel" She looked up shocked and her lips trembling. It was she who had told Madara to steal his younger twin's eyes when he went blind, all in the means that everything would be better, but he was naive. Madara regretted it ever since and since then Madara had also hated her and had made it his life to forever avoid her. He never believed in her, talked to her, and so stayed away from the whole family and lived in secret. Fugaku, Itachi, and Mikoto were the only reasons he visited.

"Madara, what are you doing here?" Annabel stuttered her eyes nearly bulging out of her eye sockets.

"I was going to go and visit my one and only nephew, but…..what you were just saying sounds a little interesting. Would you mind sharing?" She didn't have a choice in the matter, the way he spoke was demanding and he could easily crack her neck as well. Nodding her head she led the way to a sitting area in the airport and both sat down to talk. She was going to have to say this to him, and even if he could save both twins, she was in the end going to make sure that she got the younger twin and killed him.

"Itachi…..he's out in the search for his younger twin brother, but now both are in a fight with each other. The younger twin wants to kill Itachi!" She lied through her teeth and she made her body shake, just remembering that old man "He is pure evil, I was scared and ran, I fear Itachi would not have fared well and is now dead, if not still fighting for his life, someone has to save him…..or he could die" Or maybe the old man already has killed them both, if not just the younger twin as it was first promised.

Madara on the other hand didn't believe her for a second, but if Itachi was in danger, it was most likely her fault and he was going to have to fix it. Now about Itachi having a younger twin, that was something new and something he didn't trust either, since it was never mentioned. Pulling out a gun, he pointed it at her forehead and said "Take me to Itachi, I want to see for my self" Annabel didn't know what to do, so she just yelled out.

"ARE YOU INSANE!!?" Madara smirked and all the lights of the airport went out again.

"AAAAAAHHHH"

The sand storm had buried everything in its wake, at least the halves of the houses were covered and there was nothing on site. It looked like a buried town and nothing left of life in it. The sun beat down on the hot sand making it a suffocating scene.

Far off in a small distance from the small town, two pale figures stared in awe and decided to run back to the town. They were hoping to find their pound of flesh, if not more.
