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 any time 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……

When Bad Meets Evil

I Wanna Be...

Under the heavy blanket of sand, Itachi held onto Sasuke, both trapped under it and suffocating.

"Itachi…can't …breathe" Sasuke muttered as he started to wiggle against Itachi, his own nose covered in the thick sand making it hard to breathe, besides that he couldn't even open his eyes to see. The heady scent of the sand made him want to throw up, Itachi himself started to struggle "Itachi" Sasuke seemed to call out his name in a mumble and beg him to make everything better again. Deciding that he and his little brother were not going to make it if they just stayed like this, he started to claw at the sand his hands could reach.

Urgently clawing at it "Dig little brother", he muttered his lips slightly parting slightly in an effort to not allow the sand to enter his mouth, Sasuke in his desperate struggle just did as Itachi asked and started to claw at the sand. He needed room to move, he was suffocating and it was so hot and heavy. He could not stand it. He needed air now! He needed out.

"Itachi" He sobbed out and Itachi begun to release some of his magic to release the sand and shake it away from them both. That day, the biggest earthquake in about 30 years or so hit the town of West Enamores, the far out west section of it in California. A place hidden from any real map, except for one map that had been written many years ago.

In The Plane

Deidara and Naruto smirked as soon as they made it to their destination "can we get out of this plane now?" Kyuubi begged he was airsick already. It was not like him to get motion sickness from anything, especially not a plane, but it happened every now and then. Naruto had made sure it happened this time and now Kyuubi knew that it was not that he was normally someone who got airsick, Naruto made him that way. Sasori was done with all the whining and the pissing and all the bitching, so he simply decided to stand up then and made everyone stare at him in desbelief and some shock. Especially the air attendants.

"Sir, please sit down again, the plane has not stopped moving yet" The attendant said as she sat in her own sit but looked like she wanted to stand up to properly scold him. Sasori scoffed and walked over to Deidara, making sure his lover was able to get out of his seat.

"Come Dei, we have to hurry" Deidara nodded and stood as well gladly following his lover, Naruto and Kyuubi following behind. They walked to the emergency exit and popped the door open, making everyone stare even more and gasp in shock. The pilot himself was not sure why that door had been opened so he called out for everyone to calm down and for a flight attendant to check that everything and everyone was all right. This time the woman was really going to get up, no matter what happened, it was her job to make sure everyone followed the rules.

"Stop! You can't! IT'S TOO DANGEROUS!" she shrilled out, and Sasori glared her way making her stay sited. He then placed his hand in Deidara's lower back and kept him close.

"Everything is just fine," he said, using his puppetry magic. Everyone there was soon his puppet looking forward and happy, smiling to themselves, some even creating desent converstions with one another. Sasori once more motioned for Deidara and both held hands as they jumped out of the plane at the same time. Naruto and Kyuubi fallowed right after and soon everything was as if the door never opened and none of them had ever been on the plane. Their minds completely erased, even though some of them were left with the feeling that something here had happened that they could not longer recall.

"Where do we go from here, un?" Deidara asked as he followed Sasori around, all of them making sure a plane would not decide to land their way or run them over.

"West" Sasori stated what was obvious. They ran into a sprint, no longer visible to the naked eye and decided to start searching.

"Madara, we are not going to find anything out here!" Annabel hissed as they were back on the Californian hot land. Madara looked at her face and could tell that she was scared to even be here, in all it amused him as much as it made him worry about Itachi. This was his nephew's son, and he took care of his family ever since he had taken his twins own eyes. It hurt to know that he had been the one to hurt him! He did not want to see anyone he loved hurt anymore, even if sometimes it could not be avoided, he did not want to feel useless anymore.

"Shut up and lead the way" Annabel bowed her head down, she was not sure if she should go back and put not only her own life on the line, but Madara's as well. Even though Madara was more than capable of taking care of himself, she slowly nodded her head and led him through the airport, without stopping to be inspected before anything.

"HEY!" A police officer yelled as he saw them breaking all the rules and chased after them as they begun to run. The same taxi man was there, he looked surprised to see her again and this time with an even scarier man that made him want to pee his pants. Made him want to, but he did not.

"Hey! It's you, why are you here!" They did not have time for this.

"Take me back to twinship town and step on it!" The man nodded and did as he told, he went was far as disturbing the peace on the streets and he finally made it out. About seven police cars were behind him and part of him wanted to do the right thing and stop, but the people inside the car would not allow him to do as he wished. Madara looked as mad as…..as a demon!

"I'll take care of them" was all he said before every police car popped like a bottle of soda and blood spilled out of them as they collided. The man shook, just outside at the same time and in the same area, Deidara, Sasori, and the Uzumaki brothers stopped running and looked out. The yellow taxi cab passing them by only for their eyes to widen when they saw that Madara and Annabel were inside. They begun to follow right behind it and once Sasori got the chance knocked on the window.

"Madara!" he yelled, in hopes that he could hear him.

"Sasori, what are you doing here"

"Looking for Itachi, why is She here!" he yelled glaring at Annabel "I thought she had caught Itachi and were now in the fight to save Itachi's twin brother….or something" he really had no idea. Madara on the other hand was left perplexed to the Idea of Itachi having a twin brother.

"Wait, Itachi truly has a twin"

"Just about, un!" Deidara said as he came near as well "He's adorable and a little prick….though we really have no idea where in the west we have to go to help them" Madara was even more concern with what was going on here. What was going on!

"Tell me everything Annabel," he hissed, "What is really going on!"The gun was pointed to her throat just at her life vein this time and she looked shocked. Everyone else around was waiting for her respond as they ran and kept up with the high speeding car.

"Nothing's going on" She took a deep breath as the gun was pressed more into her "Except for the twin hunter that is out to get our blood, please don't kill me big brother!" she cried out and everyone was left in disbelief.

"Stop messing around, there is no such thing as a twin hunter!" just as Madara was saying this, the man driving decided to speak up.

"Actually there is," He said, "John once had a twin and he was killed, run over by one of those large tracks and turned into splattered guts all over the street. It was said that john cried out his heart and ate his brother's remaining of his body, since then he had been driven to a life of forced immortality, living to kill all those with twins, and even more off it those who kill their own twin. That must be why you are all heading to the deserted twinship town"

"Where did this tale come from?" Madara asked.

"It's an old tale told to us by our parents, told from their parents, they all tell it for some reason and never come near this here"

"Does this mean we are going to have to kill him, maybe it won't be so bad?" Kyuubi said and everyone else sighed wanting to hit him over the head.

"We don't have time to waste, we'll go on ahead" Sasori called out and Madara nodded in agreement, Annabel was about to yell to them if they were Insane for being so public with their powers but she soon found the butt of the gun hitting her on the back of the head and knocking her out.

It took a while to dig themselves out, but Itachi and Sasuke had managed to make it to the surface. Cleaning the sand that had gone to places that it should not and breathing in clean air. Itachi then turned to Sasuke and pinned him down on to the ground again; a glare on his face and an equal glare on Sasuke's own face "Don't you ever fucking again tell me to stay away from you! I will never stay away from you so don't ask it" Sasuke was shocked. He knew he was the one who had asked Itachi to be his boyfriend and now he was running away, he was such a coward and Itachi deserved better.

"Itachi" He yelled "Didn't you just see what happened? What I did, I killed that old man just like that! I made him explode out of nowhere" Itachi shook his head at the nonsense his brother was talking about, nonsense because he didn't care so long as they were both alright "And I didn't even tell you that I was, I don't trust myself, how can I trust you…..I am way over my head here! I don't know what I am doing" He begun to push at Itachi, but Itachi kept him firmly down. "Itachi stay-"Sasuke gasped.

"Don't push me away" Itachi held him tight, the word falling just in the curve of his ear making Sasuke shiver with uncertainty and something warm. Sasuke did not know how to act, so he just begun to cry and begun to pull Itachi closer to him. "Don't push me away"

Itachi was not sure what he was hoping for when he calmly begged that of Sasuke, this was something he had longed for, for so long. He finally had it. He was not ready to let go, and he felt like he was never going to be ready to let go. He knew they were brothers, and he really did want to try a relationship with this boy, his own twin. He wanted to be everything to Sasuke.

"Itachi" Sasuke called out. "I'm sorry"

"Sasuke I want you to understand, that I want to be the one that you run to, the one that won't hurt you, the one that you love the most," Sasuke was shocked by what Itachi was saying. "I want to be more than just your friend, or your brother, I want to be your lover and so much more beyond that…..whatever you need," These were words hard for Itachi to say, but he felt emotional and broken down, he'd made it this far and the day was finally here.

"Right now I just want to get out of here," Sasuke murmured.

Itachi pulled slightly away and nodded. Both of them were tired, thirsty, and dirty and could not wait to actually eat something, take a bath and get some much-needed sleep. They slowly stood up, and as they did, two shadows landed on them. Looking up they saw it was a girl with curly hair and a boy with a hat on. Not even an hour out of the ground and they had already stumbled upon trouble "Well, what do we have here" he girl let out a laugh that was annoying.

"Who are you?" Itachi hissed. At that moment, the sun over the horizon sank into the ground bringing night along with it. The moon was soon casting an eerie glow around them as a gentle breeze brushed the sand up to fly around them.

"We are nothing, we are just a lost civilization of people who love to eat others…..you could say cannibals" Both Itachi and Sasuke knew they had just gotten themselves in deeper trouble "We've been kicked out of here since the hunter came and killed everyone, never thought we'd still find two alive" She grinned.

"Christina, calm down, there is one for each"

"Yes, Gorge" she giggled again.

Sasuke and Itachi both staggered back "What do we do now?" Sasuke asked. He wanted to know if Itachi had a plan for them to initiate, he wanted to put his trust on him this time. He really wanted to believe that he could allow Itachi to be his all.

"We roast them like marshmallows," Itachi said simply and both cannibals soon were running towards them, the intent to make them the feast of the night clear in their glowing gold and black marked eyes.
