Chapter 12: Ghosts

Back in the days, Obito and I would scare the hell of Itachi with ghost stories but after the war, Itachi was not falling for ghosts and others. Now we had little innocent Sasuke…. An evil smile came on my face.

"As he walked down the corridor, the sound of a baby crying could be heard. Slowly, he walked up to the room where he heard the sound…. BANG!"

"Hyaaaah!"

Sasuke jumped into his brother's arms, tears in his eyes. Itachi had a look that said that he was in heaven before he turned to me and frowned. His hands were gently stroking the younger boy's back, comforting the crying child.

"Do I continue?"

"No," Itachi carried his brother in his arms and walked to his bed.

Meanwhile, I pouted and crawled into the futon that lay on the floor beside Itachi's bed. Do not think this has ended, Itachi! I began chuckling evilly in my heart. The quilt had covered the brothers' body. Sasuke's whimpering had long since been replaced with gentle breathing. Itachi's breathing took a long time before it became the slow breathing as expected of a sleeping person. Grinning in my head, I silently crawled out of my bed. Just as I was about to wake Sasuke to scare him, a sudden flash and killer intent forced me to back off. It did not stop as a shining metal flew towards my face. As I avoided it, I caught sight of a pair of red eyes glaring at me.

"Gah, not the face, Itachi! Anything but my face and my son!"

I shouted as loudly as I could in a whispering volume.

"So a kunai up your-"

"Noooo! I won't do it again. Promise!"

Surprisingly, Sasuke never woke up but instead snuggled into Itachi. The boy did questioned why there were kunais sticking in the bedroom's wall. In reply, Itachi said that it had always been there and Sasuke accepted it. I think Sasuke accepted anything that Itachi said, including things like pigs flying and tomato rain
