Let's get this show on the road shall we
Sasuke was sleeping soundly he was in so lost in a world of bliss that he didn't even feel the person walking over to the bed he was lying on, Sharingan eyes glowing brightly.
The person stopped at the edge of the bed and looked down at Sasuke's sleeping face. He reached down and grasped hold of his mouth startling the poor boy awake. Sasuke screamed into the man's hand and started to struggle but then he heard a voice that made him freeze on spot.
"It's okay Sasuke. It's me." Sasuke looked into the Sharingan eyes fear written all over his face.
Then the man turned the lamp on and Sasuke's look of terror became a look of complete horror as the man turned the on the lamp that was on the side of the bed.
"MMMFFFPPPHHHH!" Sasuke screamed.
This couldn't be real, he had carried him to Konoha with his bare hands he had watched them bury him!
"Sasuke. Stop!" The man commanded.
Sasuke froze shaking in fear as the older man leaned forward.
"I am going to take my hand away from your mouth and you're going to be quite." He spoke.
Sasuke nodded and he removed his hand.
"I-Itachi...?" Sasuke whispered.
The elder Uchiha smiled and Sasuke latched onto him tightly.
"How?" Sasuke whispered as his sobs were muffled by Itachi's shirt.
"That does not matter now." Itachi said.
"But I saw you...y-you're eyes...they were still open...the blood. All the blood!" Sasuke cried wrapping his arms tighter around Itachi's middle making Itachi grunt in discomfort.
The overhead light suddenly switched on and Kakashi opened the door with kunai in hand.
"Whose in he- Itachi?" Kakashi asked stopping in place.
Itachi let go of Sasuke and turned around to Kakashi and lifted his shirt revealing a nasty looking scar on his stomach.
Kakashi nodded and put the kunai away. Itachi looked at Kakashi,
"Madara's planning on coming soon." He said.
"Okay. Thank you for the information. Do you know for sure when?" Kakashi asked.
"No." Itachi said.
"Okay. Well, do you want to sleep here with Sasuke then?" Kakashi asked rubbing the back of his neck tiredly.
"Sure. I can keep an eye on him.' Itachi said as he grasped hold of Sasuke's shoulder.
"Okay." Kakashi said and turned around and left. Sasuke moved over so Itachi could get in, Itachi crawled into the bed and looked at Sasuke's still tear filled eyes.
Itachi moved closer to Sasuke and wrapped his arms around his shoulders.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have taken that mission. I didn't mean to scare you." Itachi said softly.
They stayed like that for a little while until Sasuke fell asleep, Itachi smiled softly and looked down at his precious little brother's face. He kissed him on the forehead and closed his eyes and soon he too let sleep overcome him.
~Next Morning~
Itachi opened his eyes and let out a small yawn, he flexed his hands and looked down at his little brother who was sleeping on the opposite side of the bed. Itachi slowly and silently got off the bed without waking Sasuke, he finely stood up strait and stretched as his long hair fluttered down to the middle of his back.
Sasuke stirred a little bit but remained in a dream filled sate.
Itachi smiled as Sasuke muttered something in his sleep then he turned and walked out the door to go find Kakashi. He found him in the kitchen eating at the table.
Kakashi looked up from the bowl of cereal he was eating and looked at Itachi, who still had his hair down and hadn't bothered to put a shirt on.
"You're up already?" He asked the twenty one year old.
"Yes." Itachi said as he pulled up a chair across from his old ANBU partner. "I apologize for coming so late at night but I needed to get her on time. Madara doesn't know I'm still alive." Itachi said.
Kakashi stopped eating and looked at Itachi with an understanding look on his face.
"So. Care to explain to me how it is that you are alive?" Kakashi asked taking another bite of cereal.
"It was a genjutsu." Itachi said.
"What?" Kakashi asked.
"I don't know how, but Madara cursed the katana he stabbed me with, with a genjutsu, it made my conscious mind believe that I was dead, thus my body responded by going into some sort of psychic coma. It seems it was only temporary though since I woke up underground in a coffin, from there it was easy to escape." Itachi explained.
"I see. So you never died then?" Kakashi asked.
"No. It was just a genjutsu." Itachi repeated. Kakashi nodded observing the thin white scars on Itachi's lips as he spoke.
Itachi looked at the doorway to the hall as he felt Sasuke's chakra approaching.
"So what's Madara planning Itachi?" Kakasih asked. Itachi looked back at Kakashi.
"I don't know all I do know is that he's going to be coming soon. I just don't know when." Sasuke walked through the door and saw Itachi and Kakashi talking.
"Morning Sasuke." Kakashi said softly.
"Morning sensei. Morning Itachi." Sasuke said smiling happily.
"We've got a mission from the Hokage today." Kakashi said picking up a piece of paper that had been beside him on the table. Itachi shook his head.
"I don't know if he should be going anywhere outside Konoha Kakashi." Itachi said.
"Well if you're worried why don't you come with us. It could be fun." Kakashi said. Itachi looked at Sasuke thinking for a moment.
"What kind of mission is it?" Itachi asked.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOO! YAY ITACHI!
