Let's get this show on the road shall we
Kakashi dragged Sasuke inside his house over to the couch as continued to cry.
"Sasuke! Enough! Get ahold of yourself!" Kakashi yelled.
Sasuke stopped his hysteria and calmed a little bit.
"This isn't fair...I never got to say goodbye to him..." Sasuke said with a whimper as he tried to hold back his tears now.
Kakashi looked at Sasuke sternly, "Sasuke...these sort of things happen when you are a ninja, so you have to understand that. It is a heart breaking thing when you don't fully understand it, and when you do it is as well." Kakashi said softly as he sat down beside Sasuke and rubbed his back for comfort.
"H-His eyes..." Sasuke whispered.
"What?" Kakashi asked with a frown.
"His eyes...they were still open when he died...does that mean his death was instant or quick?" Sasuke asked.
"I'm not sure Sasuke." Kakashi said truthfully. "Come on let's get you cleaned up you're covered in blood, you can use my shower, since the Hokage said you and Itachi would be staying with me but...it looks like its just the two of us. I'm sorry." Kakashi said.
Sasuke nodded and followed as Kakashi led him to the bathroom after finding him some clean clothes.
~Itachi's Funeral~
Konoha had decided to do a quick funeral service before burying Itachi, since Sasuke went into rage upon hearing that they were going after the Akatsuki to get Naruto instead of doing the funeral, he felt Itachi deserved it since had done so much for this damned village and that they dared not give him a funeral when he died. He wasn't going to let that happen.
Now everyone who actually cared about Itachi (A/N: Meaning the ones who learned to stop hating him for betraying the village and forgave him for killing the Uchiha clan) were standing around the coffin that now held the body of Itachi Uchiha, everyone there had a sorrowful look on their faces but no one was as sad as Sasuke was he was trying to prevent tears from falling, hell if it weren't for Kakashi standing behind him massaging his shoulders for comfort he would probably be bawling, though Kakashi had to admit the boy had gotten a lot taller within the last few years so it was making his arms ache, but if it was helping Sasuke cope then he'd continue.
Kakashi noticed Sasuke was mostly just staring at Itachi laying there in the coffin that was about ready to be buried, and tuning out what most of everyone said, just staring at Itachi's pale face.
Tsunade had finished her speech about Itachi and asked Sasuke if he wanted to say a few words but Sasuke didn't hear her.
It wasn't until Kakashi gave Sasuke's shoulder a squeeze that Sasuke snapped back into reality.
"Huh?" He asked.
"She asked you if you wanted to say a few words." Kakashi said.
Sasuke hesitated and Kakashi leaned in to whisper in Sasuke's ear. "Perhaps you could finely say goodbye to him. I know you've wanted to." He said.
"I-I..." Sasuke stuttered.
"Sasuke you need to let him go." Kakashi said looking at his student.
Sasuke looked down, he knew his sensei was right, but it seemed wrong to want to forget about his brother.
Finely he gathered the courage to speak. "Okay." He said softly.
Tsunade nodded and Kakashi let go of Sasuke's shoulders and Sasuke walked over to the casket holding his brother's body.
Sasuke just stared at Itachi for a moment struggling to swallow the lump in his throat so he could speak, finely he came over it and spoke.
"Itachi...you were my brother. And I was so stupid to think that you left me before without a cause. I-I will find out who did this to you...and I will kill them slowly, but you...you were always there for me. You promised me you wouldn't leave me ever again. You didn't keep your promise but...did it have to end like this? It's not fair. I...loved you...you were the only family I had left. You lying bastard. You promised me, but that's typical you..." Sasuke said the last sentence with ice but tears still came from his eyes. Everyone stared at Sasuke in shock, until a small smile came across Sasuke's face. "...but then again. You always found some way to make it up to me...but now...it's time for me to make it up to you." Sasuke said as he reached down and caressed Itachi's cheek, he shivered upon feeling how cold he was.
Sasuke pulled out a kunai and stuck it between his teeth to hold onto it.
Kakashi's eyes widened and he sprang from the chair he had been sitting in, thinking that Sasuke was about to do something rash he started over to him but Tsunade grabbed his arm.
"Stop." She said softly.
Kakashi looked back at his Uchiha student and watched as the raven haired boy reached behind his neck and unfastened his necklace that had the symbol of the Uchiha crest on it and then took the kunai and put it a side for the moment.
"Remember this?" Sasuke asked his dead brother. "You gave this to me when I turned seven. I wore it every now and then, I wore it today because I'm giving it back. You are a Uchiha...whether you like it or not. Even if our clan was a disgrace..." Sasuke said.
Sasuke picked up the kunai and reached down tipped Itachi's head upwards and used the kunai to cut the clasp off Itachi's black necklace with the silver ring like beads on it and took it off. Then put Itachi's necklace in his pocket and put his Uchiha necklace around his brother's cold neck
Sasuke paused when he saw something underneath Itachi's pony tail. There were letters carved into the back of his neck small letters.
Sasuke turned Itachi's neck towards him and read, it was hard because it was in tiny print, Sasuke's eyes widened at the message and his hands started to shake in fear as he read the message.
Sasuke Madara is coming for you
Itachi
Sasuke looked at Kakashi and Tsunade who looked at Sasuke with a grim look on their face.
Sasuke glared at them as realization hit him, but he looked back down at Itachi and observed the scars on his lips where Madara had once sewn Itachi's mouth shut long ago, but had been removed. Sasuke leaned down and kissed Itachi's lips gently and as tears stramed from his eyes onto Itachi's black hair.
"Thank you. I love you big brother." He whispered.
Sasuke turned to Kakashi in rage and lunged at him but Asuma and Gai sprang up and restrained him, Kakashi had told them he might freak out on him if he found those markings on Itachi.
"YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS! AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME! HOW DARE YOU NOT TELL ME SUCH INFORMATION!" Sasuke roared at his sensei.
Sakura and everyone else was surprised by how furious the Uchiha was.
Kakashi casually walked forward and looked Sasuke in the eye. "It was for your own good Sasuke. We can't have you running off to go find Madara. If he did this to Itachi he can surely do much worse to you, you still have people who care for you here, not to mention Naruto. What about him Sasuke? He's your friend." Kakashi said.
Sasuke shrugged the arms restraining him off and then grabbed Kakashi by the shirt.
"You better pray that we find Naruto alive, and has not killed Madara yet. Cause I am going to kill Madara one way or another whether you like it or not."
Woahhoho Sasuke's angry. And poor Sasuke...he's soooo sad T_T
