"Ive been looking for you
All of my life
Even though I barely know you boy
I think maybe tonight's the night
Cause ive been looking for your love
All of my life
Because I
I wanna show what i feel for ya but
These words and this paper
Just aint good enough for ya
How can i prove to ya that
You live inside my mind and
I can see your pretty face everytime i close my eyes
Something about the way we met
The day we met i cant forget
I played this song again and again and i
I tell myself that one day.....:" -MC Magic : All My Life

When Bad Meets Evil
For All My Life
Great Grandmother Saki had found Itachi, she just never expected him to be with Sasuke under the pouring cold snow, and his body was a warm point in contrast to the cold weather all around him. Never would she had thought that Itachi would come and save Sasuke in the end, it was not fair how he was making this seem like nothing. She grounded her teeth, so, Itachi had found a way around her mind. Was this through using twin telepathy? It all seemed too absurd and very easy, she had to stop that and do something drastic. She opened her eyes and turned to her daughter who sat there looking bored out of her mind. "Annabel, I think your time to come and play this game has come" she let a smile spread her face as her daughter became alert.
"Mother, you must be joking!" She snapped, trying to get up from her seat.
"I am not!" she hissed and snapped her fingers, taking her daughter back to reality before she even had a chance to say anything else. She closed her eyes once more, searching for Itachi and Sasuke, the scene that she found was not one that she had been expecting. The emotions that rushed through her, she wonder if perhaps her daughter one day would realize that having a twin sibling in your life was the best. Someone to share emotions with, someone to connect with "I wish for them to teach her that there is no such thing as an evil and good twin…" After all, it had hurt her to lose two children at once. Madara's twin brother and Annabel's own twin daughter.
She had borne Madara in Japan, Konoha, in the sanctuary, to a real immortal. Then her husband had died on her and she felt lost to the world. Thing was that she never told Annabel, that it was during one of her travels in the America's that she had gotten pregnant from a human, in her depression she had made that mistake. Sleeping with the human was the mistake, having her was not. Still, who could blame her, he was a captivating human that had captured her heart, had named her daughters, and like every other human, his life eventually left his body. She had lost someone else. Therefore, she had traveled since then to any place possible, searching for maybe, the possibility that he had been reincarnated.
Still, she had never expected her daughter to turn like this, corrupted in the mind as she was. It was the human side of her, even though she had lived for so long, she still hated. On the other hand, it was probably the fact that Annabel was born of pure demon blood and the human had been her sister, whom was not going to live long so she got more attention. She could only pray that everything would turn all right and she would get to keep all of them. For all of their sakes, she had to stand firm and bring peace.
This was the best method she could think of.
Back With Sasuke
"Why-why can-ca-can't I, I-I-am so-so-so co-co-cold" He stuttered out once more time.
"Because I was not born alone, I was born with you and I shall die with you, but not now, and not today's warmer body curled around his and Sasuke searched for a way to get his arms around it. He was so numb, he was not sure what was going on, but he was sure that he was going insane. "Sasuke, trust me"
Sasuke felt his body being carried off the cold ground. His head was pressed under the person's chin and he soacked up the warmth. "Ita-Itachi?" he whispered. Itachi smiled down at his younger brother as he tried his best to warm him up tightening his hold on him, but he knew he had to take his little brother out of this place "Yo-you a-a-are so-so wa-warm" Itachi disregarded the comment, the mind was a powerful thing and his great grandmothers mind was far more complex than anything. She had lived for so long, far longer than any other immortal he knew.
Sasuke had saved him from grandmother, Annabel, this time it was his turn to save his precious Sasuke. He had waited long for a younger brother, and now he had him. In an odd and unexpected way, but whether it was as a brother or a lover, he wanted Sasuke in his life and that was all he knew. Closing his eyes once more, he searched for a way out.
Somewhere in his grandmother's mind, there had to be a warm place that she had once been. Somewhere pleasant and warm and he was going to find it.
That did not take long though.
Annabel opened her eyes.
There was a silent moment of shock, before she came to comprehend everything. People, humans, concrete reality surrounded her and she could tell that this was not imagined. This was reality; at least she hoped that it was, reality and illusions could get confusing. Still, It all felt so real. "Do you need any assistance?" a plane attendant asked as she came near her, a smile on her face. She was tongue-tied and all she could do was shake her head and look at the two empty seats next to her. "Okay" the attendant said "Call me if you need anything, we'll be departing soon"
She did not know what kind of game her mother was going to be playing this time. Moreover, she certainly did not know what to expect.
In another part of the airport….
Itachi, on the other hand, had closed his eyes and once he opened them, Sasuke was asleep in his arms and they were heading through a long hall that was usually in the airport, so they were boarding a plane. That was all that came to mind, they were boarding a plane now, looking around the glass building that had them trapped, the outside looked cloudy and gray. The planes running around the place, getting fuled and prepared to lift at any moment, was this a part of the game? Still…this was reality, was it not? He could not feel the presence of his grandmother's mind anymore, it had to be reality. What kind of game was she playing now though?
He was about to turn around and go the other way when he saw his great grandmother coming his way. She smiled and waved at him, and eager gesture of happiness and giddiness, yeah, she was up to no good "hey there my precious great grandson" she said, she looked way to happy. She tilted her head when she saw him glaring. How could she be doing all of this, Sasuke's small body was still cold and shaking in his arms and the building was cold as well. It was Sasuke's first mental experience and he was still trapped in the aftershocks "Why do you look so mad?" she asked.
"It's not funny," Itachi said. "What you are doing is not fair"
"Of course it's not my darling. I never meant it to be funny, as for fair, oh" She leaned forward and placed a hand on Sasuke's forehead, "he's so cold, you should warm him up with your heart" she grinned and started to walk again, hiding the secret look in her eyes. That was all she needed, to touch Sasuke's forehead and this game was soon ready to begin, all she needed was for them to board. "Come along now, or we'll miss our flight back to Konoha"
"Wait, what are you playing at great grandma?" She just kept walking and Itachi sighed as she disapeared into the plane. He turned his attention to Sasuke in his arms and leaned in, his lips brushing his little brother's and he set him down. He needed to wake up Sasuke back to reality that is what she had meant. He had to get Sasuke back down to earth with him. Itachi pressed his lips harder to Sasuke when they boy did not respond and brought his hands up to press on his cold cheeks, slowly he started to feel him warm up.
Slowly Sasuke's lips moved against his, unsurely and trying to form words. "Sasuke, wake up" Itachi whispered lovingly into his ear. Sasuke hummed and slowly opened his eyes, he turned his head to the side and looked outside to the airport planes riding around. The light was so bright and white for a cloudy day and it hurt his eyes, his head was pounding with a minor headache, he wanted out. Still, this is not what he had remembered last seeing, what the hell was going on anyway? "Come on, we have to board the plane, Sasuke?" Itachi said, nuzzling his neck and Sasuke jolted then, pushed him away, Itachi was startled by that. He had not been expecting Sasuke to react so violently.
Sasuke backed away from him until his back was pressed to the cool glass behind him and glared, his hands gripping his head, it hurt. It felt as though he had had an out of body experience. He was shaking, but not because he was cold this time, it was for another reason and he could not explain it. He just felt so uncomfortable in his own skin at the moment, he wanted to tare it off his bones. Itachi hesitated when he saw that confused look on his little brother's face, but he guessed it was the backlash of never having his mind be played with. "Sasuke" he said gently as he decided it was best to comfort him.
"Don't!" Sasuke snapped shaking his head and then growling "don't you dare touch me or come near me," Itachi feared he had lost Sasuke's trust, the little of it that he had. There was silence between then and he knew they did not have all day to just stand here, they needed to board the plane and finish his great grandmother's game, otherwise, she would come back with a vengeance. This was not something they could simply drop, or disobey from her. Itachi did not listen, he came near Sasuke and dropped to his knees, pulling the smaller raven to him and hugging him tightly.
"I'm sorry" He said when he felt Sasuke's body tense up and about to push him away "I'm sorry my great grandmother just played with our heads, she messed with our minds, but please, please, don't reject me now." Sasuke was still tense. He was angry and he wanted to lash out at Itachi, he wanted to do so many things, taking a deep breath, he started to relax but kept his guard up.
"What do you mean she just played with our mind?" Itachi sighed; Sasuke was at least accepting the explanation.
"It feels real, and it drains away your energy, but it is something you have to be aware of, you know those dreams you sometimes have, and you wake up confused, out of breath, and shaken by a dream?" Itachi asked and felt Sasuke nod "Grandmother's mind is a big place and she knows how to open many of them, it's a scary experience I know, but I hope she won't do it again" Sasuke seemed to nod once more. Itachi smiled and pulled away, then offered his hand. "Come"
"Where are we going now?" Itachi could see Sasuke was wary, he was tired and he did not want to move anymore.
"Back home remember, I promise" Sasuke hesitated but offered his hand and allowed Itachi to get him to his feet. Itachi kept his arms around Sasuke as they walked down the long hall and finally boarded the plane. The flight attendant smiled at them and then asked them to walk down the road and get any empty seat. She then turned to the door and closed it, it sounded as if it was sealing them into their doom. What kind of game was their great grandmother going to play with now?
What they did not notice was the attendant smirking at their retreating backs.
Itachi looked around for empty seats, until he saw two side by side, and at the end at the third seat was his grandmother, Annabel. There were no other seats around, so he narrowed his eyes and walked over, he sat in first and allowed Sasuke to sit on the outside one by the rows. Sasuke glared at their grandmother, Itachi on the other hand made sure she could not reach Sasuke. "I have no idea what mother is playing at now" she hissed and looked around, as if she were uncomfortable.
'Welcome all, I am glad you chose our airlines for your travelling needs' All three Uchihas tensed up when they heard great grandmother's Saki's voice through the intercom. 'We will be departing in just five more minutes, so please make yourselves comfortable, sit back, and let us begin, shall we' You could hear the smirk in her voice, the lights inside the plane dimed and it started to rock side to side. It made Sasuke feel nauseous and angry at the same time, Itachi on the other hand was anticipating what was going to happen.
The red lights beeped to put on their seatbelts, and they did.
Everyone around them looked comfortable and at ease, the plane started to move then, Annabel was looking out the window in disdain. 'What is mother planning' she gripped her chair. She could kill Sasuke here and now, in the dim light. Her eyes traveled to the seat in front of her, the catalog there was interesting. She reached inside to pouch and pulled out the catalog. It was a catalog of guns, the light from outside let her see it's contents. Itachi on the side of her snatched the catalog away from her "what the hell do you think you are doing? I just know you are still thinking of taking my brother away from me!"
She sneered "Come on Itachi, you know you are under his influence, grandma knows best you know" Itachi slammed the catalog down.
"Yeah, she sure does and look at where we are thanks to her, a plane ride to hell"
"I meant me!" She snapped and then the lights turned back on. Itachi turned to look at Sasuke, but was shocked to find that his twin brother was no longer there.
"Hello Sasuke" Saki said as she stared at the young boy, his eyes in a haze as she controlled his mind. "You will be the one who plays the last game as me and me as you" she said, she got near the young boy and looked him over. He was pretty, his hair highlighted in blue, his eyes dark, his jaw prominent, and his body small, boyish with a hit of feminen mixed within it. "I can see why Itachi loves you so much, you are perfect for him," She said. Her fingers rubbing his cheeks and she squealed "You are like a perfect great grandson as well!"
Inside Sasuke, he could not really make out what she meant by her words, so he just stood there, feeling numb from head to toe. Saki leaned into him and hugged him, her mouth to his cheek as she bit into it "Ah" Sasuke hissed and pushed her off, holding his cheek and the hypnosis coming out of his eyes. She narrowed her eyes. "Calm down kid, I just need some of your blood to turn into you, at least in a ninety percent, that way I can trick Itachi and Annabel better" She sighed "I know what could happen, I don't want you hurt and I certainly don't want Itachi to lose you, so I'll be you as the enemy"
"You are crazy!" Sasuke hissed, he started to feel his body change and he gasped as his finger turned longer, with polished nails. His hands wound up to his hair that grew longer and he looked up at Great Grandma Saki who now looked like him. "What the hell have you done!" She sighed, her eyes focusing on him once more, his eyes going hazy and completely under her control.
"Now, just sit here and look pretty, the effects will last only until the end of the game" She said and then snapped her fingers, teleporting herself to a different part of the plane. Sasuke just sat there; the door looked as he watched the cloudy sky, tears running down his eyes. He was not sure if he was going to be able to keep this up anymore, it was taking a lot out of him.
"Sasuke" Itachi called out, worry evident in his voice as he looked all around. He unbuckled his belt and got up. Annabel panicked, looking around when she fell down to the floor in her need to follow him, and something shiny under the chair caught her eye.
"Itachi, wait. This could be a trick by mother!" Annabel hissed and Itachi ignored her as he passed everyone around him, looking in every seat to see if he could spot his younger brother. That was when he heard something in the small restroom there. His eyes narrowed, but he kicked the door inside. Inside 'Sasuke' was pushed back as he cried out, but his mouth was gagged, and he was really his great grandmother.
"Sasuke?" Itachi asked, he was about to move in and help him when he hesitated. Sasuke gave him a confused look to this, and Itachi stepped in to release him. "What did she do to you?" he asked his voice a little distant and untrusting.
"Nothing" 'Sasuke' said. Well, he was not really Sasuke nor a he, but a she. Saki knew there was something hostile in Itachi's voice. "Itachi, I'm scared," She said, trying to crawl her way up to him. Itachi on the other hand knew this was not normal behavior for Sasuke, why was he not hissing or huffing to him about losing his trust and his damned grandmother taking him prisoner. Itachi placed a hand on the forehead of the 'boy' in front of him and said.
"Are you sure you are alright"
"Yeah" She said, but there was no blush. There was something odd. Itachi narrowed his eyes and Saki was starting to wonder what was wrong. "Itachi, stop it" She hissed and Itachi pushed her back, hitting herself hard on the back. "Oof" She glared up "Itachi, what's wrong?"
"You are not my Sasuke," Itachi hissed, and Saki's eyes widen at how fast Itachi had figured that out, she was not expecting that. Then Itachi was pushed out of the way, the lights seemed to go out, and people were screaming. What the hell was going on.
"Itachi!" she heard her daughter yell.
"Grandmother Annabel" Itachi hissed, "Where did you get that!" she laughed, and 'Sasuke' got up from his position on the restroom to look outside, the larger part of the plane in darkness, just enough light. The plane, she noticed, swerved from to side, until it spun around, shaking everyone inside, as if they were in a tumble in a dryer.
"AAAAAAHHHHH!" People yelled.
"Stop it Annabel!" he hissed.
"No! This is what I should have done from the beginning" She hissed "You know how it is, when a twin is born, all you can think about is that person next to you, that they will never let you down and at the end, they turn on you and backstab you. No one should know that pain," Annabel hissed, "To know you had no twin is better; to have them turn their back on you and leave you behind hurts the most!" She was sobbing now, her frame shaking and a silver gun pointed ahead, anyone could be its target.
Saki just stood there, unyielding. "Don't you dare shoot that gun," She hissed, forgetting that she was in Sasuke's form.
"Shut up, you have no right to tell me what to do!" Annabel cocked the gun and smirked "I'll rid Itachi of you, and he will never be hurt, that is what I promised Itach long ago, that I was never going to let him get hurt by anyone else, physically or emotionally" Itachi's eyes widen, but then narrowed. He knew that was not Sasuke, but even so, his brother was the target.
"But then you'll be hurting me grandmother" Itachi spoke, making Annabel turn to him and gasp. He knew she had never thought of it that way, she was trying to 'protect' him, when she was really hurting him. "You are the one, who is hurting me, because you are trying to control everything between me, so if my twin brother does hurt me, what can I do? It can be anyone who I chose to be with, they might or will not end up hurting me, but that is part of being human. We need to hurt, to appreciate, to be sad, to be able to smile for the tomorrow." Itachi spoke his words deeply making his grandmother shake, Saki smiled behind him, making sure everyone could hear his voice loud and clear through the plane "And I want to be with Sasuke, I want to go through the love rollercoaster with him, he is the one I have been waiting for, all of my life."
If you kill me you kill him, you kill him you kill me
For all of my life…That is why I come on to strong, and hang on tight…I've been waiting for him, all of my life….
Annabel shook her head and kept pointing the gun "you don't understand Itachi! That is not how it is" She sobbed, knowing her own pain "you are always supposed to be happy, like your father and mother" Itachi chuckled.
"You think mom and dad have a perfect marriage? They fight a lot, compete against each other, disagree all the time, and even though they stick with each other, father has hurt mother by fooling her, by keeping her second son a secret from her, and making her think that he was playing her" Itachi shook his head ."Mom and dad have their own shared pain, with each other, memories good and bad, we all need that, I want that with Sasuke, so you have to understand."
"Itachi" She sobbed. "I can't, I can't see it your way, your brother has to die" She sobbed, he has to. Saki could feel her time running out and her hair growing, Sasuke must be braking out of her trance. She closed her eyes as she returned to normal and made Sasuke take control of the swerving plane that still had people screaming, just as the lights turned on, she heard a 'Sorry' from Annabel and the gun was shot.
"AAAAAH!"
The game had finished.
