When Bad Meets Evil

The Ballad To Destruction

BANG!

It was a powerful spout of the gun that made people wake up, and realize that there was an insane woman in the middle of the walkway, a gun pointed to the ceiling of the plane. She had a sneer on her face, and her eyes were unfocused at the fact that what she was doing was completely not acceptable. "Now, where are my dear and lovely nephews, I have a present for Sasuke" She said, cocking her gun back and making people flinch as she started to carelessly point it around. "Is no one going to talk?" She snapped.

"You should really stop all of this!" An elderly man yelled, he was chubby with a bald spot on the top of his his head. Annabel's eyes landed on him for one second and the next she had shot him right in the middle of the forehead. Not a second thought on that he might have a family to return to, a wife and kids that were expecting to receive him soon. No, she had a once set goal in her mind and that was to permanently abolish Sasuke from the face of the earth and she was going to do it whether anyone tried to stop her. Her eyes narrowed searching for her real target, and that was when she spotted him.

Sasuke was gritting his teeth, a glare on his face and Itachi barely managing to sit up and glare at her as well. See? See what Sasuke had done to her precious sweet Itachi, he could barely sit and it was all Sasuke's fault. Sasuke was trying to kill Itachi, slowly fooling him by taking care of him when in reality he wanted to poison him, yes; Sasuke wanted to and would kill Itachi if she did not stop him. "GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HIM!" She yelled a shrilling scream that curled anyone in a cold cycle. She could not get the thought of Sasuke and Itachi suddenly being together, getting a relationship, and missing so many concrete details. They did not even know what it meant to hurt…

"Itachi" Sasuke whispered into Itachi's ear and Itachi clutched the boy's smaller hand tightly in his, there was no way Sasuke was going to be killed. Damn all the vertigo. Itachi managed to sit up even more, this time effectively hiding some of Sasuke by the side of him. "Itachi, you can't get up in your state," Sasuke warned, his arms hugging around his middle and helping him. Annabel gritted her own teeth at the fact that Sasuke was even touching Itachi and would not listen to her to keep away from him.

"Sasuke, hide" Itachi hissed back at him in a low whisper. Sasuke shook his head and stubbornly stood by his side.

"I SAID GET AWAY!" Annabel yelled once more. "Fine" she whispered under her breath, cocked her gun once more and pointed it to where the two brothers were and she narrowed her eyes. Itachi might get hurt in the process, but it was going to be a fatal blow to Sasuke, once it penetrated his neck and killed him forever. She smirked and shot her gun, the fire of it exploding through the plane. Itachi looked up in shock, and Sasuke concentrated his power to create a power force field around them.

Annabel's eyes widen when the bullet fell to the ground, short one foot from even reaching both brothers. She was confused as to why that was and raised the gun up once more, this time shooting three times in a row and watching each and every time fail. Sasuke's eyes were glowing a red divine color and he looked relentless. Itachi turned to look down at him and wondered how much his brother had developed his power to, and what were his top attacks. This must be one of his top defenses. "DAMNN YOU!" Annabel hissed, stomping a bit, deciding that she was going to have to get closer and personally take out Sasuke.

"Stop where you are Annabel" Annabel did so, as a gun was cocked and the cold end of it was pointed to the back of her head.

"Mo...Mother" She whispered under her breath in disbelief. Would her own mother really kill her?

"You had a chance to actually redeem yourself, but you had to stupidly come here and try once more to kill Sasuke" Saki sighed "Isn't it obvious how Itachi and Sasuke love each other, just because they are twins its no excuse to keep them apart." Annabel started to laugh at that. Then she threw her body sideways, a kick flying towards Saki's arm and knocking the gun out of her hand. Annabel grasped the gun and pointed it to her. Saki shook her head in disappointment of her own daughter.

"You have no idea the destruction that Sasuke can bring about" Annabel tilted her head, her own insane look plaster all over her face "Don't you understand mother, after reading my book, do you still not understand"

"Perhaps I do, maybe your sister was not the evil twin, it was you," Saki snapped, making Annabel shake her head.

"She was the best, was she not. Your favorite, dad's favorite and she was the cute one, the better one, EVERYONE LOVED HER AND FORGOT ABOUT ME!!"

"And out of jealousy you killed her, out of guilt you made up this belief and you can't escape it, I get it now, what Itachi meant" Saki said, her hand coming up to point at Annabel "You can't keep on living without your twin, you've done so for so long that now it has torn your mentality apart"

"HA!" Annabel snapped, shooting the gun, but the bullet went past Saki and her fingers glowed and angry red.

"Go back to your sister, and be happy once more, understand now that it's her death the one you repent for by killing the younger twin, for you it has become that, you can't have your own younger twin with you, no one else can have theirs." Saki shoved her fingers forward and sent them through her daughter's neck effectively killing her "No one else should have to go through your pain, Madara suffers, but he understands, and for now he protects Itachi so he will soon decide to leave me as well" Tears ran down her face now.

She had just killed her own daughter.

Moreover, it hurt.

The plane had finally landed.

Sasuke, Itachi, and Saki got off the plane in due time and walked around the airport and towards the exit. No one hassled them as they left without an inspection, but their great grandmother had not spoken a word, and her eyes seemed to look as if they were far away. It scared Itachi and Sasuke both, even thought Sasuke had just met her a day or so ago, and Itachi, he's known her for all his childhood and she was always like a second mother to him, he did not want to lose her. Still, Saki kept pondering about everything that had happened and on what she had done. She had no idea what she was going to do now.

There were still no words spoken as they got a cab, were driven to the edge by a desert and then continued walking up the meadow hills. It was not long before they came to the sanctuary and saw Mikoto running around, well after Fugaku with a hatchet. Sasuke and Itachi just stared at their parents, but for a long time in some time Saki could not help but to laugh, she still had her family. She realized, she still had so many others that depended on her for protection, even though she had lost a daughter, it was not the first time.

"Come on boys, let's go get welcomed back home" Itachi nodded and so did Sasuke, following her all the way down the hill and towards their feuding parents, Madara was recording it and keeping score apparently. "Well, well, what mess have we here?" She asked, raising an eyebrow at them all. That was when all three 'adults' froze and turned to look at her with huge eyes.

"Granny Saki"

"Mother!"

"Are you all going to stare gapping there like two fishes, or can we go inside? I'm tired from my long trip, and from the surprise that awaited me" she faked gasped "I have two great grandkids, I'm so happy" Madara, Fugaku, and Mikoto all nodded and froze once more when she mentioned the kids, and spotted Itachi and Sasuke standing next to each other, looking at them like they were insane.

"Sasuke!" His father boomed and laughed "I was not expecting you to get caught by Itachi" His father cursed under his breath.

"I didn't, I saved him," Sasuke said, nonchalantly, making Itachi glare at him. Ready to place on their act.

"Yeah, at first, then you were crying" Itachi muttered indifferently as well, Sasuke recalled when he had ran away and had to face his trust issues.

"See, Itachi is the best Fugaku, you owe me big"

"To me it sounds like Itachi needed Sasuke's help to even end up saving him, so Sasuke is the best for being the first one to save Itachi"

"Oh, oh yeah, like that matters, the hero was still Itachi!"

"He was not!"

"Ahem" Saki said, "Argue about it later" They nodded and helped Saki get her things inside and she lead them inside. Madara stayed behind and looked at both his nephews. Sasuke was the new one, he looked him up and down, he looked a little like Itachi, but other than that, nothing like Itachi.

"Uchiha Madara" he said, offering his hand. Sasuke stared at it and glared.

"Uchiha Sasuke" He turned to Itachi "Who the fuck is he?"

"He's like my dad's uncle, so I'm not really sure what he is to us, I only know that we all call him uncle, so" Itachi shrugged "It's your uncle"

"Uh-huh" Sasuke said and noticed that the man was still holding out his hand.

"So, don't be rude kid, shake hands" Sasuke shook his head.

"I don't know where your nasty hand has been," he said. "I'm going to go speak with father and meet my mother, excuse me" and with that he headed towards the house, leaving Itachi and Madara outside with each other. Madara was glaring at the boy's retreating back and then turned to Itachi.

"Feisty little kid isn't he" Itachi nodded.

"He also bites" A smirk on his lips when he said it, Madara gapped at him.

"He does? I wouldn't doubt it, the way he didn't even want me near him" Itachi shrugged.

"He has trust issues; you'll have to forgive him"

"I'm guessing he trusts you now and you are like the best of friends," Madara said, and Itachi shrugged. He was not going to be the one to tell his uncle that he was hitting that, and that it was his, it would become completely apparent soon.

"I guess, let's go inside" he suggested and Madara nodded, following Itachi inside only to find an emotional great grandmother, mother, and new child in-between. There was sobbing, crying, and Sasuke getting sandwiched between it all, while Fugaku offered out the tissues.

"I'm sorry Sasuke! If only I would have know! I would have taken better care of you than leaving you with your damned father, he is love deprived I tell you! He knows nothing!" Mikoto sobbed "But now get ready to be babied and spoiled by mommy!"

"Uh…that's not necessary," Sasuke, said, trying to push her off but was unsuccessful.

"Nonsense! It's what you need" His great grandmother offered in, also hugging him.

"Ah, dad, about school. I dropped out" Sasuke said, before there was more sobbing and more coddling him. "I also need a place to stay, AH!"

"You can stay in Itachi's room!" His mother sobbed, Itachi smirked until his mother added, "And I'll kick him out now anyways"

"Hey!" he snapped.

"No" Sasuke kept being suffocated, that at some point even he wanted to cry. "Damn it all"

"Welcome to the family kiddo" His dad said, patting him on the head "I'll go make dinner now, you must all be hungry" Fugaku said, but Itachi stopped him.

"Dad, you burned the kitchen last time you tried to make dinner"

"That is why you are helping me," Fugaku snapped, dragging Itachi with him.

"Hey!" Itachi hissed. Looking back and forth to either twin, Madara decided it was safer in the kitchen with the other men than being in the crying female fest. However, he felt sorry for Sasuke, it was only for a second and then decided that the boy deserved it for how he treated him.

"Augh!" Sasuke yelled.

Later

That night, after the completely dramatic dinner, and everything else, Sasuke was finally free from their grasp and he was in a guest room. He was still ruminating about his relationship with his brother, how it had developed, and what he wanted to do. He wanted to trust, that even though he and Itachi had developed from love at first sight, that it was not just superficial and that it meant something. He wanted to come up with a way that would test their love without him losing Itachi in the end. Sasuke sighed and reached for a book that was on the bedside table, well while they were here they were going to pretend to not get along. That was sure of a hell going to give him some time to see if Itachi is serious, and enough time for him to decide what he felt.

Itachi came in ten minutes later to find his little brother in the middle of the bed reading a book, or at least, he seemed to be reading a book. He closed the door softly and decided to say something to get his attention "You know they are going to smother you the longer you stay here, and they would expect us to compete with each other. You really have no idea how bad mom and dad are when they are together" Sasuke glanced up and shrugged.

"I don't care what they expect, so long as they don't come near me anymore" Itachi chuckled; Sasuke sat up and narrowed his eyes, before deciding to get serious with his brother. Itachi felt a bit uncomfortable, either way he approached the bed until he was close to his younger twin.

"Tomorrow you can meet all of my friends. Do you want to keep the relationship a secret from them as well" Sasuke nodded, Itachi leaned down and kissed Sasuke on the lips. "Also, I think you only need me to love you, and forget about that maternal love crap"

"I agree with you one hundred percent, but do I have to meet your friends" Sasuke wondered. Itachi shrugged, and kissed Sasuke on the forehead.

"Goodnight otouto" With that he got up and left the room. Sasuke glanced at the door, a disappointed feeling blooming in his chest that Itachi did not decide to stay in the room with him. Suddenly he noticed how lonely and big the room was without his brother's presence.

"Damn" He said, and reached to turn off the lights when something caught his eyes.
