My story's time clock is based from my country's fall of events... Book 1 occured on February... Book 2 is now focused on Sasuke's graduation from college... In our country March is considered to be the 'Graduation Month'... all school levels end their school year in March... so that's why this story revolves around the said month...
This fictional series contains fluff, smut, yaoi, kawaii moments, drama, romance... etc.... a mixture of everything... This will be the first part of my so called "Uchiha Diaries"... a compilation of Sasu-Ita/Ita-Sasu stories, based on their individual diary entries... It's my project for this year (2010)... hahaha I really hope this project would be a success... if I dont get too lazy, that is... I mean I still have the on-going Sasu-Hina fic, My Sasu-OC fic... and the various attention-grabbing-out-of-nowhere-oneshot-ideas... hehehe... C'est La Vie!
This compilation of stories serves as a tribute for my favorite anime characters.... The hottest anime men that ever graced the anime world (in my point of view, that is)... The gorgeous Uchiha Itachi... and the ever handsome Uchiha Sasuke.... ^0^
Everything in this fic (the plot, scenes, food etc...) is a figment of my perverted imagination...bwahahahaha.... XD
Ita+Sasu and Gaa+Naru pairings... do enjoy :) R&R please... It's what keeps me going....

From the pages of Sasuke's diary
March 13, XXXX
Dear Diary,
Tomorrow is my graduation and nii-san is still not here, as he promised...
He seemed to have forgotten about me again... as always...
Itachi's Gift
Chapter 7 : The Disappearing Act... again...phew!
March 11
Sasuke woke up, refreshed and happy.... last night was unbelievable. Never in his wildest dreams he thought that last night was possible. He smiled to himself. He looked out the window and saw the sun shining brightly. Again, it was a wonderful day. Sasuke got up and went to the bathroom to shower. For the first time in his life, he sang as he showered. He was happy indeed. The days were going by so fast that in just a couple of days, Itachi would be home... with him. His mood was really good. He skipped on his way downstairs. The maids greeted him, and for the first time he greeted back... much to the surprise of the uniformed women.
He hopped on his Ferrari and warmed up the engine. As he waited, he got his phone out and dialled Naruto's number. In 3 rings Naruto's voice was heard. "Suke! Good morning.... What made you call this early?" the cheerful voice asked. Sasuke chuckled "Are you on your way to school Naru?" he asked as he stepped on the gas pedal to liven the engine even more. "Uh, Suke... y-you go right ahead... I-I still need to fix a couple of things..." Naruto said, slightly stammering. Sasuke then heard gaara's voice on the other line 'Naru, come back to bed... it's too early...' the redhead grunted. Sasuke smirked... fix a few things he says...
Sasuke ended his phone call and drove out of the house. He sent Itachi a message and pocketed his phone. He hummed on his way to school. As he stopped on a corner, waiting for the red light to go green... he spotted a schoolmate standing by the bus stop. "Hinata! Hina-chan!" Sasuke called out as he motioned the girl to come. Hinata looked up and smiled shyly. She quickly crossed the street and hopped in Sasuke's car. "Good morning Sasuke-kun..." she greeted politely, slightly bowing. Sasuke smiled. Hinata was one of the few girls in school that he liked. She was sweet and thoughtful... and most of all, she wasn't a fan-girl.
They had a small talk, about the graduation and stuff. He parked his Ferrari on his usual spot in the parking lot. Hinata thanked him for the ride and they went their separate ways. Sasuke strolled leisurely as he headed for the library. As he entered the establishment, all eyes were glued to him... as always. Sasuke was in a good mood, so he didn't roll his eyes like he usually did. He just continued walking and headed towards a secluded spot at the far end of the reading section. He took his laptop out and continued editing his speech.
Sasuke was so engrossed with what he was doing that he didn't notice a figure walk by and sat beside him. For a couple of odd minutes, the area was quiet... except for the sound of the keyboard being tinkered every now and then. Then somebody cleared his throat and the sound made Sasuke jump up. "Sai! Man you startled me!" Sasuke gasped and the pale man smiled. "How are you Sasuke-kun... I hope your doing okay..." the ebony-eyed male purred. Sai was a good friend... though sometimes Sasuke did find him a bit odd. He had known Sai since he was a freshman. They had a couple of classes together before.
They chatted for a while, until Sai left to attend class. Sasuke was again left all alone with his laptop. A couple of hours after, Sasuke started to feel hungry. He saved his document and got up. He headed towards the cafeteria to silence his grumbling stomach. As he entered the canteen, he spotted Naruto sitting at the corner. the blonde smiled as Sasuke ploppde himself before him. "Hey Suke, sorry about earlier..." the blonde smiled as he scratched the back of his head. Sasuke smiled "Nah, it's okay..." as Naruto blushed. The blonde knew Sasuke heard Gaara. Though it was a known fact that they were a couple, Naruto still blushes about the two of them being together. By lunch time Gaara picked Naruto up. The blonde waved and the couple left.
By early afternoon, Sasuke was able to free himself from his last minute tasks. He then remembered his cellphone. He quickly opened his cellphone, much to his dismay... Itachi never texted back. He dialled Itachi's number and listened intently at the receiver... "The number you are calling is currently unattended or busy. Please try your call later..." the stupid recording kept on repeating itself. Sasuke couldn't believe his ears... well, maybe Itachi was on a meeting so he turned his phone off. Sasuke looked at his watch... 2:15 pm... 'Does Itachi's meetings take this long?' He asked himself as he frowned.
Earlier that morning, inside Itachi's hotel room...
"Konan-san, cancel all my meetings for today until the 15..." Itachi said as he arranged his suitcase. He was using one of his many cellphones to contact Konan. he intentionally turned his main cellphone off. He felt bad doing this, for he knew Sasuke would be trying to call him. It was a necessity. He wanted to make sure he will get Sasuke a gift that his heart would choose. He wanted to miss Sasuke so much, though it hurt him like hell not to communicate with just hoped Sasuke would be patient enough and compassionate enough to forgive him for his stupid antics.... again....
"But Itachi-sama, your clients had been waiting to speak to you for months now... Maybe you can change your sudden leaves at a later date?" Konan asked on the other line. Itachi sighed, "I'm afraid I can't do that Konan-san, I am sorry... and don't entertain Sasuke as well... he might call..." Itachi added. Konan understood. Itachi must really have something very important to deal with. She bid farewell and started calling the people affected by the sudden change of schedule of the business prodigy Uchiha. Itachi continued packing his belongings and would order the hotel to just ship them to Konoha. He then went to the airport to get himself a ticket.
Itachi left France that very hour and then booked himself a trip to Africa to visit his stocks from the Petra Diamond Corporation (1). As he sat on the business class section, his heart thudded crazily. He was so tempted to turn his Iphone on and text Sasuke, but he got a grip of his emotions and tried to calm himself down. He needed to get a hold of himself. Though he didn't admit it to Sasuke, he was very happy that his otouto was graduating. They will be together... forever.... He wouldn't allow Sasuke to be far from him at any cost. They would be together... forever.
Itachi arrived to his destination two hours later (2), as he got off the plane, his skin was welcomed by the scorching heat of the dry African weather. Itachi quickly got his shades and shielded his vision from the bright rays. His pale skin turned bright red from the heat. "Welcome Mr. Uchiha..." a tall woman with flawless bronze skin greeted Itachi. She smiled brightly and showed off her perfect white chompers. Itachi smiled at the woman... "Hello Ms. Samora... It's a pleasure seeing you again..." Itachi responded with his perfect english accent. The lovely woman smiled as they shook hands.
Itachi was accompanied by Njeri Samora, field manager of the diamond mine. He called the woman earlier, informing her he needed to look for a piece of diamond for personal use. The drive to the diamond field was a long, hot one. Itachi was thankful he decided on wearing a cotton shirt for this trip. The woman smiled brightly "Are you going to get engaged Mr. Uchiha?" she asked sweetly as Itachi smiled "...yes, you may look to it that way..." the raven flashed his trademark smirk. "She's one lucky lady..." the African woman commented and Itachi nodded his apporval. "He sure is..." Itachi smiled, leaving the woman stunned.
Back in Konoha...
For 4 solid hours, Sasuke tried to call and contact Itachi in all possible ways... by e-mail... by phone... he called Konan, but the woman wasn't answering his calls. Sasuke was at the verge of exploding with anger. He was again the cold-hearted beast of Konoha. He glared at anyone who tried to be nice to him. There were dark clouds circling over his head (with bolts of lightning). Naruto was the only one who could calm him down at times like this, but the blonde wasn't there. He snapped at everyone, making them all see the invisible "Leave Me Alone" tag he carried.
Sasuke was again sulking... Itachi did it again... 'Why does he always disappear?' Sasuke asked himself. He had noticed that every time he and Itachi would bond, the counterpart of it was a painful disappearing act. Sasuke was now afraid, he wasn't looking forward to be with Itachi anymore... especially if after all the joy they could share, extreme sadness was the payment. Sasuke wondered if there was a curse placed on either of them. Maybe they weren't born to be happy. But despite all the doubts engulfing his heart and mind, Sasuke couldn't deny the fact that he cared less if he was hurt, as long as he could show Itachi how he loved him... even for just a time. He can endure all else. Sasuke believed that 'love' has reasons, that even 'reasons' couldn't find... his heart was willing but his mind wasn't
Sasuke glumly went home. His good mood forgotten. He was again hurting all over again... wondering what he might have done to make Itachi distance himself from him again. Sadly he looked at the calendar by the door, 3 days more till his graduation and here he was again... alone and sulking. He wanted to scream... to yell at Itachi and demand from the elder to clear things between them up. He was fucking tired of all this insanity. He was tired of getting extremely happy in one minute and counterparted by extreme sadness. Fuck Itachi... though he loved the man, he was still human... and his fuse was ready to burst any moment now.
