Signs
Chapter Two-Sasuke�s Truth

I�m scared to
death, but what can I do? I am not getting strong enough to fulfill my task. He�s out there, waiting to see if I will ever be capable
enough to take his life.

Shame begins to make it�s way through my body, causing
me to land heavy on a thick tree branch. As tears try to clog my vision, I know
I have no choice.

I have to kill Itachi.

It is the only way to kill the shame,
to banish it from my heart.

That dreadful day, that day when life
turned it�s back on me, was
the day the shame built it�s fort within me.

I remember when it came so vividly. So
lost in this thought, I feel bark painfully on my face. I actually ran into a
tree! A damn tree, this shame can be so vindictive.

Feeling my face, I find only a slight
bruise on my nose and a little cut on my right cheek. Thankful, I continue my
journeys, the one to Orochimaru, and the other one through my mind.

I remember going through the compound,
horror struck, looking at all of the dead bodies of my relatives. Fear and
terror flying through my nerves, filling them with an adrenaline I had yet to
experience.

Coming to my home, I rushed in calling
for my family. Knowing with great grief, they were gone.

Going into the main area, confronted
by a closed door, I could have sworn I heard a voice. Trembling, I slowly back
away from the door, only to come to a sudden stop.

I was being a coward! If my family was
gone and their killer was still here, I would be killed
anyway.

Placing my hand on the sliding door, I
pull it open. The sight before me, made the horror I felt before, pale in
comparison.

Both my parents in a heap of bloody
flesh lay on the floor before me. Their lifeless eyes showing the last emotion
they felt. My father�s was shock, my mother�s was quite strange, it was contentment.

I only could walk so far in, before I
collapsed to my knees. Tears fell steadily from my eyes, but that�s
when I called shame to me.

I saw Itachi�s body was not among them;
my Aniki after all is the strongest. Then I remembered he would not be here, he
had a mission.

Staring at my parents, I sealed my
pact with shame.

�He�s
all mine now, no one else is around to keep him from me.�

How could I think such a thing! Looking into my dead parents eyes no less!

Shame chained my heart, locked it and dangled the key in front of me, mocking my agony.

When Itachi showed himself, said the
things he said, threw my mind into turmoil, he gave me the perfect excuse to
erase my shame.

He made me an avenger.

I want to hold him as he dies though,
kiss his lips and face. Tell him how much I love him and that he can�t reject me. We will have eternity together. I don�t plan on living after his death, I want to die with
him.

A tear caresses the side of my face;
these thoughts always bring a damp understanding. Looking around the forest, I
see something glowing in the distance, about 20 yards away.

Jumping down to the ruffage-strewn
floor, I sprint to the glowing tree trunk.

What the hell�I have not
ever seen anything like this! How was it done?

I reach my hand out and touch it,
feeling only a slight warmth, I notice it�s Kanji.

Sasuke,
you are truly foolish, yet I am going to give you a chance to fulfill your
ambition.
Find
and follow the path of glowing Kanji, and you shall see me.
To
make it even more beneficial to you, I have left justu in three of these
messages for you to learn.
All
you have to do is use your sharningan to see if one
is there.

My body is shaking; I don�t feel I can stop it. What is he trying to pull? This has to be some kind of trick, but why?

I look closely at the Kanji, is there
jutsu in this message?

Needing to know, I cautiously activate
my sharningan.

Not this time, Sasuke.

Rats! I was hoping, but at least I
know this is real, he wants to see me, but again why?

Longing flashes through me, I want to
look upon him so bad. The shame comes now and bitch smacks my longing into a
pathetic shell. I feel shame�s chains tighten painfully around my heart.

I will do this, even though I may
fail, I once again will try to take his life.

The desire to be above ground takes
me, as I again jump tree to tree. This time, I am looking downward, searching
for glowing Kanji.

The second message is not downward,
but upwards. Jumping to one of the highest branches, feeling the burning of the
sun through my shirt, I activate my sharingan.

When
we were young, you cherished any time you had with me.
Has
that desire to be near me, turned into an obsession for my death so
desperately, you are willing to wager your very soul?

Anger rides through me, how dare he accuse me of giving up my soul! He killed our whole
family without remorse!

Grief overtakes me, I don�t want your death Aniki, I need it. Does that make me a
monster like you? No, I don�t think so, I love you,
you hold no care for me, but in eternity you will.

Through my misery, I notice the Kanji
symbols coming through the first message.

Take
out a kunai or shuriken follow these hand signs. This is the Painful
Scatter-No-Jutsu.

I do as I am told;
this is the coolest justu ever!

The kunai multiplied, it seemed like
to hundreds, and then they surrounded me. At first, I felt terror fill me. My
Aniki would not kill me in such way, would he?

Then they scattered in different
directions, like a moving unpredictable barrier. I feel bad
though, I heard some animal cries.

Memorizing this justu and jumping
tree-to-tree searching for the next message, I stop short.

Aniki had trained me to do something
similar, not as many, but you had to hit targets, with your eyes closed.

He was so brilliant at it. So masterful,
falling through the air, kunai whizzing to each spot, with an
accuracy I still am envious of.

He is so beautifully patient in his
actions, so confident in his technique.

Shaking myself out of my reservoir, I
once again make my way. I almost passed it, that sneaky bastard.

If it did not glow so brightly, I
would have thought it was just the reflection of the sun hitting the beautiful
golden petals of the wild flowers. There is a bunch of them, but the Kanji
message leaves me speechless, it�s in mid-air!

What
makes you think you have learned all Konoha has to offer?
Can
you beat your sensei? No, you can�t.
So
why leave when your training is really getting started?

What the fuck does he know?! I am furious! I know he is right but�

I plop myself onto the ground, my legs
spread eagle, I indulge in a nervous habit; picking at things. Pulling apart a
blade of grass, I think over the message.

There isn�t a
jutsu either, stingy fucker.

Am I just being impatient? I mean
really, it�s not like Itachi is going to die anytime
soon.

What really stings, is that I can�t beat Kakashi, I am nowhere near able enough. It�s just Itachi beat the hell out of Kakashi with no
problem! Me, Kakashi could cream in a minute tops!

The divide between Itachi and me has
always been a sore spot. Please, I know there will always be a divide, but I
can do without the canyon. I would much rather have a short
bridge, thank you very much!

Indignant vibes emanate off me, as I
begin to walk stiffly to find the next note.

After a while, walking as if I have a
pole stuck up my ass hurts my back, I relax. He is right; I just hate how long it�s going to take to get to that level. But
hey, patience is an extremely important trait in a shinobi.

I find message four in a hollowed log,
once again, it�s in mid-air. Too fucking cool, he has
to teach me this!

Is
the avenging of a clan that never really saw your potential, worth putting your
life on hold?
What
really makes you want to avenge them?

I slam my fist into the soft ground;
the scream that tears from my throat is so painful I can barely breathe. In
that question, that last question, shame tightens it�s
chains around my heart to the point that I seek death.

How could he ask such a question?! Did he smell the lie within my rants?

I�m shaking
again, he does not know my feelings, he can�t. Shame bubbles up with in me, but
the chains feel a little weak.

The clan saw me as weak, yet a
necessary burden. I know this, but seeing it through another person�s eyes�

What would my Aniki think of me, if he
knew avenging the clan was not my purpose? I shiver once again. He would hate
my deception. He would continue to believe I�m
worthless and spineless.

My emotions feel drained of life, as
well as my body, I stand up, but fell wobbly on my feet. Giving myself some
time, I take deep fortifying breathes.

The fifth message scares me now. What
profound question will I find there?

I push myself above ground to the
trees. At times, I feel my problems can�t find me up
here.

I make over 100 yards from the last
message, when I see it glowing on the ground.

I step on a leafy branch above it.
Keeping my balance straight, I look down.

Do
you honestly believe, that being with Orochimaru, will help you attain the
power that you seek?

He is a Sannin, one of only three, to
me that speaks of great power. My only worry is why did he mark me? What does
this cursed seal really mean?

No one seems to know or no one wants
to tell me, but becoming more powerful is worth any risk right?

I need Itachi�s approval; I need him
to be surprised at what I can do. At the level I am right now though, that�s not possible.

Helplessness knocks at the door of
reason. I answer it. Really, there has to be something to this question. Itachi
would not place it here if there wasn�t. What don�t I know?

Not wanting that question added to my
large heap, I move onward.

Irritation begins to ride me hard.
What does everyone know that I don�t? Why am I not being told the truth of this? Well I decide that
will be one of my first questions to my brother.

Damnit! I want the
truth, no more pussy footing around!

Stopping on a huge rock near a clump
of densely packed trees, I see something glitter in the shadows.

It�s really dark
in there, I mean, I�m not scared of the dark or anything. I just know that
things, I mean unsavory characters could be in there.

Carefully I slide to the edge of the
mass of tall greenery. Sending out light chakra feelers, I sense no one but our
average forest variety animals.

I turn on my sharnigan
and jump into the trees. I don�t want to meet anything
hostile.

Going only about four trees in, I see
a message six clearly on a low bare branch. Hopping to the overdeveloped leafy
branch above it, I swing downward to read it.

You
never really loved me Sasuke, because if you did, you could not possibly hate
me as much as you do.�

All I can feel is air rushing around
me and tears flying all over my face. Next thing I know, I am looking upward at
the little piece of sky the trees allow to show.

The massive branch I landed on saved
my life. I surely would have broken my neck, seeing I am still at least 50 feet
above ground.

How could he ever think such a thing!
How could he ever lie to himself! No one could ever truly hate Itachi, it�s just not possible!

I guess he really does not know me
after all.

Slowly, very slowly I move to my knees
and gently stand. My body aches fiercely, but still it is nothing like the
tormenting of my heart.

�Making my way back to the message, I can�t help but wonder does that question hold his feelings
for me? Does my Aniki love me? If so, why leave me?!
Why not make it known to me?!

The thought of him actually fearing
rejection from me is so ludicrous. I am trying not to laugh too loudly.

That is just not possible.

Finally, I am back on the branch of
the message. Turning my sharingan on once again, I
see that a jutsu is mine to have.

This
jutsu requires controlled intent. You can cause unnecessary damage if you don�t have proper control of your thoughts.
After
you have control of your thoughts, do these hand signs. This is the Soul
Fire-No-Jutsu; you are using your inner fire.

Protective and pleasant warmth fills
me immediately after doing the hand signs. It�s so
familiar to me, nostalgia mists my eyes.

I know what it reminds me of. My Aniki�s arms surrounding me, his chin resting on my
head, his legs wrapped tightly around mine, his heartbeat�

Fuck!!! Fuck!!!

I must have loss control of my
thoughts! The tree I am standing in is blustering huge flames! I have to find
away to rid the tree of this fire or the whole area will be up in smoke!

I�m just glad
right now it is just this tree, as I jump to the ground, racking my mind,
searching for anything that can cure me of this problem.

�Damnit! Why won�t you just die down!� I scream in undiluted frustration.

It did.

My Kami! It did just
what I said! Then again Itachi wrote that this is my
inner fire. So of course it would do what I say!

I smack myself with both hands. I feel
like such a fool.

Calling the fire back to me, I really
feel my soul warm up. Wow! So much to learn, so much my Aniki
could teach me!

The thought brought a strong pang to
my heart, as shame tries to remind me of it�s
existence.

How stupid can I be? I can�t ask him to teach me! Shame would truly be an endless
entity, haunting me even in death. Regardless of what, I have to kill Itachi so
we can have our eternity together.

I have had
enough of this creepy area and make my way out. Once in the
open again, I search for the next message. I hope that this one is of a less
personal nature. Itachi stop twisting my will, my heart is yours, but you have
to die for yours to be mine.

This thinking does not bring the usual
bereft contentment. If anything, I want to throw a tantrum of pure rage. Why can�t I have him now, in life?

I soar through the air with helpless
distress firmly in place. The unfairness of it all weighs heavily upon me.

My eyes finally show some life when I
see a boulder up ahead, sporting the glowing words of my brother. I know it�s going to be something about me staying in the village.
Why does he care if I leave or not? Is my staying there really so important?

Landing in a bow before it, I activate
my eyes and read the thoughts there.

If
you kill me, will it really bring you happiness? Will you be happy being the
only living Uchiha?

A bitter laugh is all I have for this
message.

The only happiness I can have, is us
being together, your acknowledgement of me being worthy of you. There will be
no one left of the clan� I just need you, Aniki, but I have to rid myself of
this shame, only�

It�s tearing me
apart!

Why couldn�t
I have had another thought that day? A more acceptable one,
instead of a self-serving one.

I grab my hair and yank it ferociously
hoping the pain will bring sense of reason. Shame tightens the chains around my
heart, but with tugs that are more desperate. I only give it passing notice,
since my berating of myself is much stronger.

Leaning against the boulder, I hold my
head in my hands. What should I do? I don�t know
anymore, what usually keeps me sane is not working.

I continue to lean a little longer, calming
myself enough to go on. The confusion and distress I feel prompt me to go
faster, hoping that maybe I regain my reasons.

I glide through the air faster than I
have remembered doing so. Trying my best to avoid the many branches, I still
receive cuts to my body and clothing. Even my sack suffers numerous tears, as I
barrel through the air.

My foot suddenly travels through
something warm; I stop at the next branch stunned. Turning around I see the
eighth message.

How
do you feel about your soul Sasuke? Is it worth damning it for my death? That
is what you are about to trade for this �power�.

The world seemed to stop turning as my
legs buckle beneath me. I am about to trade my soul for something that does not
carry a guarantee.

Without my soul, everything I feel I
will have after death is pointless. Grief tries to rise in me, but a relief I
refuse to acknowledge pins it down.

Did they know? The shinobis of the
village knew this and did not tell me?!

Well I am hoping they did know it
scares me to think that my soul was naively up for grabs. There is no way I am
going now!

I stand up once again, jumping from
tree to tree. I barely stop myself from tumbling head first into the air, when
so many questions hit me.

What do I do now? Orochimaru was my last
hope of gaining great power. On the other hand, is Itachi right? Should I just
go back and finish my training with Kakashi?

The question that terrifies me the
most though, that tears the rest of my resolve is:

Do I want to even
continue this path of killing my brother?

If I don�t
then how will I get rid of shame? How will Aniki truly be mine?

I start pacing frantically up and down
the moss-covered branch, doing my best not to pull my hair out in despair.Crossing my arms, more so hugging myself, I decide
to continue looking for messages.

I mean what else can I do?

Trying to keep my mind blank, I rush
through the trees. Feeling the air against my face, I lose myself in the
soaring across breezes.

That is until I see the biggest
message yet! It�s huge, hanging between two giant
trees, like a banner.

I
truly love you Sasuke. I have never said I hated you, it�s
not possible too. Does this shock you? That your cold-hearted brother can only
love you?

I stop myself from running and holding
the message. This is what I have always wanted. My greatest
desire! My dreams right here in glowing Kanji!

Wait a minute! How long has he felt
that way? Or am I reading more into it then I should?
Could it be just brotherly love he speaks of?

A heavy sigh escapes me. I want his
more passionate love. I would be truly grateful for it, but�

I know I am being fussy, it�s just I don�t want his brotherly affection! I want to
experience his seductive nature and desire.

A blush infuses my cheeks, as images
of what those entail overflow into my mind. Oh Kami! I
need that so badly from him, to be his in that way!

Another heavy sigh, maybe I had better
be glad for what I get.

I stare at the message floating in the
sky and reactivate my sharingan.

Allow
your body to become free of tension. Then enact these hand signs. This is the
Totem-No-Jutsu; it will show you and allow you to use your totem animal. Mine
is the crow.

I take deep breaths until I feel
completely relaxed. As I do the hand signs, my body tingles, it doesn�t hurt, but it is strange nonetheless.

The last hand sign now complete, I
feel nothing but feathers surrounding me. No, this is me
with feathers! I turn my head; I mean heads and see I am above ground, looking
at the message.

I am a flock of blackbirds! Itachi and
me share the same totem, well not literally, but damn if it is not close!

A sense of joy encases me, my Aniki flies
through the air as I do. We both love freedom, I think.

I soar through air as a flock, doing
mid air U-turns and criss-crosses. My soul escapes it�s self made prison and joins me in flight.

The shame curses me as I feel it�s chains burst into flying links. I can breathe again!
Right now, nothing bogs me down! My spirit�s wings are no
longer tied; my wingspan is truly enormous unfettered.

Tears cascade down my face, but no
longer with irreparable grief. These tears are my renewed love for my Aniki.

He set me free.

Feeling my chakra levels dip, I undo
the jutsu and land on my ass. I rub my pains gingerly, definitely got to work
on my landings.

Unfortunately, as soon as I stand up,
worries crowd my conscience. I�m listless, what do I
do now?

The need to kill Itachi is no longer
necessary, shame left. Having him in the afterlife�

Well�damn! I really can�t force him to love me the way I want him too. I do want
to see him though, even if I can�t touch his body the
way I desire.

Moreover, I have an excuse, a really lame one, but still. I want to know that glowing
Kanji jutsu. I know he will only laugh at me, when I tell my poor excuse. I
miss him, is it really so wrong of me to want to see him?

Running at a moderate pace, I move
through the brush and bushes. Passing a rather large piece of granite, I stop.

The chakra signatures I am feeling are
off the charts! Nervous sparks courses through my body. That�s
my Aniki I am feeling!

Composing myself, I give myself a
quick pep talk and head into that enormous chakras� direction.

There he is standing on a rock pillar
in the middle of a spring, his cloak flapping in the wind and his arm hanging
languidly on the closures. So beautiful my Aniki, with his
long black hair down and slightly whirling around his head. He looks
tired though; the creases in his face are deeper than usual.

�I know you�re there Sasuke, I feel
you.�

His voice strides my pulse as if it
owns it, causing it to hammer against my skin. Stepping from behind the tree I
was standing behind, I can�t help but put my hands
behind my back. My nervous habit in full force, picking at
things, this time my fingers.

His eyes roam
me,
every part feels stroked wantonly. Oh Aniki, if you
only knew!

�There is one last message, but I felt
it would be best to tell you face to face.�

He gestures me with an elegant painted
hand to come with him. He jumps smoothly to the large rock near the small
waterfall.

Of course, I am hesitant, last time we
saw each other I spent weeks in the infirmary! So yeah, I am clearly being
careful.

Turning around he gives me a look that
can only be described as exasperated guilt.

�Sasuke I won�t harm you, even if you
try to harm me.�

I am no longer cautious; the
expression on his face seems to plead with me. He really wants to talk, and so
do I.

Soon I am next to him on the rock, and
I am shocked when he pulls me behind the waterfall. We walk into a small cave; it�s gorgeous really with all the embedded crystals
twinkling. Leave it to my brother to find such a wonder.

Going further into the middle of the
sanctuary, he stops and turns to me.

�You probably don�t know this, but
Orochimaru has been after Uchihas for quite some time now.�

I know I am staring at him blankly,
because this is not what I want to hear.

In his last message, he said he loved
me, so wouldn�t that mean he missed me? Have I been on
his mind as much as he has been on mine?

He is looking at me curiously now, no
doubt wondering what I could possibly be thinking. Letting out a large sigh, I
shove my hands into my pockets and swivel my head to the side.

�Tell me you miss me, everything else
is bullshit.�

MAKandCHEESE
OOooh! I remember this from FF.net! I loved it, and I
still love it now :) The story just has so much potential!

Thank you so much! I am so glad you
like it! BTW, I love your writing and the honesty within it.

natalie
interesting
i hope you will update soon

I hope I updated soon enough for you.
I hate waiting too :D Thank you for reading and I hope
you continue to find it interesting.

Lane
Oooo. Is this going to be a multi chapter fic? I suppose so, and I really hope it will be...

Yep, just three chapters though,
short, I know~sweatdrop~

Are
you going to change point of view at all? I mean, Itachi's point of view in
interesting and all but it's really weird.

Yes, as you can tell in this chapter,
I do change viewpoints. I want both sides heard and the third chapter will be
in another point of view. LOL I think it�s weird
because most stories usually focus on Sasuke�s viewpoint.

Well, either way, this aught
to be interesting!
Looking out for the next chappie!
XD
LANE

I hope you found this chapter
interesting as well:D
