Summer Rain: ch. 5

Promise I won't

Sasuke let out a sob and clutched at the elders shirt. "I'm so glad you're alive aniki," he smiled and looked up into the slightly teary eyes above him before burying his face back into his brothers' shirt.

"I would never do that to you… I would never leave you alone." He whispered just loud enough for Sasuke to hear. Naruto stood unmoving and watched the scene.

"Wait… so your brothers?" he asked and Pein sighed and nodded his head. "That's awesome! So I like brought you two together!" he grinned.

Later that night everyone sat in the living room and dining room area to eat. (a/n: the rooms are connected but there are too many to hang in one place to eat.) Sasuke sat in the middle of the couch with Naruto on one side and Itachi on the other as they watched TV and ate. After eating Sasuke helped Naruto wash the dishes as Itachi went to talk to Pein in his office.

"I want Sasuke to stay here with me." Itachi said bluntly as he sat on the couch in the dimly lit office. "You noticed it didn't you?" he asked and crossed his legs. "You noticed the way he acts, the way he looks. You met his when our parents were alive… you know that isn't what he was like even at our parents funeral. He doesn't cry Pein. Not for anything." Pein looked down out the window as he pondered.

"I know," he said silently. "But we will be unable to get his from your uncle legally Itachi." He looked back at the elder, "and even if we did get him legally Madara would just get one of his goons to kidnap the kid from school." Pein shook his head. Yes Madara was the 'boss' of the little organization, and yes many of the people here were more loyal to the old man than they were to Pein. "Let's see what we can do without arousing suspicion within the organization, I've been hearing rumors that Madara started a different sect of Akatsuki a few cities over; the last thing we need is a war."

Itachi nodded and stood up, "if you'll excuse me then." He quickly walked from the room to go back to his brother. Pein rubbed his forehead and sighed, he had to think this over first. He had to make sure he could count on everyone under his control. He had a suspicion, he suspected what Sasuke meant to the elder leader was much more than what people think and it would be hell to get him out. Groaning he rested his head on the desk and continued to think.

"AAAAAAAAAH!"

"NARUTO YOU MORON!" Sasuke yelled and grabbed the pot from Naruto with the pot holders and set it back on the stove. "A hot stove equals a hot pot dobe." He sighed and grabbed Naruto's hands and pulled them towards his face as he inspected the red marks. "Doesn't seem that bad just run some water on it just in case." He mumbled and looked up at a blushing Naruto. "What is it dobe?" he asked annoyed and Naruto glared.

"Whatever teme…" he huffed and stomped out of the kitchen to his room just as Itachi walked in. Itachi stared at Naruto's back after noticing the blush on the blonds face.

"…the hell?" he whispered and looked at Sasuke with a questionable glance but the boy just shrugged and wandered back to the pot and lifted it into the sink to clean it. After finally finishing the dished Sasuke looked up at Itachi and smiled sadly.

"I have to go now aniki," he whispered as his eyes filled with tears again. "Uncle will already be upset that I am this late." Itachi didn't say a word but just hugged the slightly smaller boy.

"I won't let you leave," he growled lowly into Sasuke's ear. "I don't care what you say, you are never leaving me." His grip around Sasuke tightened and he buried his face in his brothers' neck. Sasuke was about to reply when he felt something warm drop onto his shoulder and felt small trembled from the body holding him.

"I-Itachi?" he whimpered and Itachi looked up at him with bright red eyes. His eyes showed pure fury and hatred, tears streamed down his cheeks and his teeth were clenched in pain. "Itachi?" he lifted his arms around his elder brother and hugged him tightly. "I promise you then, I promise I won't leave."

YAAAAAAY! I got it done! Well I got on T.V. for the protest even though the dude didn't show. I'm glad I finally finished this chapter. I will start work on the other soon. Next week is finals so I don't know how much I will get done but I shall try my best! (BTW you guys suck at giving me responds on my last chapter… the one where I asked for help… oh well too late now)
