A/N: Ohhh, my god... Thank you all so much for the reviews! I actually tried uploading this once already, but the stupid uploader they have on here screwed with the formatting. So... Reuploading it now :D Sorry it took so long, I just couldn't really decide where this was going. I don't really work out plots beforehand, which is probably why I get writer's block so often... But anywho, here's the second chapter ^^; Another cliffy for y'all. Sorry-- I guess I'm in a mood to write suspense XD Also, my ability to write long paragraphs has apparently gone to the crapper... Ah, well!
Chapter 2:
The crashing came to an abrupt halt right in front of the trembling teen. Eyes shut and cringing, Sasuke let out one last sob as he braced himself to be attacked. Nothing happened. Against his better judgment, the teen hesitantly cracked an eye open. For a moment his eyes wouldn't focus in the dark, but then he realized the reason he couldn't focus was because something was extremely close to his face.
“Boo!”
“Whoa!” Sasuke jerked away, forgetting momentarily about the tree trunk right behind him. With a yelp of pain, he clutched his head. In front and above him, he heard a strangled noise which then burst out in a shockingly loud laugh.
Itachi, alive and well, was standing in front of him. Laughing his ass off.
“Oh my god, you should see your face!” Itachi forced out between heaves of laughter, clutching at the gun as if it was the only thing keeping him from rolling around like a lunatic. “I knew this was going to be great, but I never thought you'd so completely fooled all the way 'til the end! Ah, jeez... Fucking priceless!”
Sasuke gaped at his brother, too stunned to even think. “What... the hell? It was fake?!”
The older brother scoffed. “Of course it was. I just got so tired of you complaining about being bored, I decided to do something about it. Seriously, Sasuke... you can get so annoying sometimes!”
“So... the legend, all the weird stuff going on in town, the noises earlier, you...” The shorter brother choked on his words, anger starting to smolder in his chest, “Y-you dying back there, all of it was a lie?!” He leaped to his feet. Before Itachi could react, one of the younger Uchiha's fists was connecting with his face. “Bastard! What the fuck is wrong with you?! I was scared out of my mind!”
It was Itachi's turn to gape, one hand clutching his throbbing cheek. “God, Sasuke... It was just a joke. Calm down!”
“I will not 'calm down', you son of a bitch! I thought you died! You think that's funny?” Sasuke was trembling visibly now, hands clenched in fists at his sides. It was all he could do to not punch the asshole again, especially when tears started to well up in his eyes. He let out a choked sob and stomped into the darkness of the woods, unable to even look Itachi in the face.
“Sasuke, wait!” The older teen scrambled to his feet, hurrying after his brother. “C'mon, don't be like this. Would it make any difference if I said I was sorry?”
“Fuck you!”
“Damn it, Sasuke, slow down! We're going to end up lost--” Itachi's words cut off as he nearly walked right into the other boy who'd abruptly stopped in front of him. He stepped forward, taking Sasuke in his arms in a tight embrace. “I'm sorry, little brother. You know how I am-- I always take pranks too fucking far. I didn't mean to make you this upset.”
Sasuke hiccuped and buried his face in the taller Uchiha's chest, taking a few minutes to calm down. “You can be such a jerk sometimes,” he muttered, the sound of his voice partially muffled by Itachi's jacket. “I really thought I lost you there for a minute. Don't ever do something like that to me again!”
Tentatively running a hand through the other's hair, Itachi sighed. “I won't, I promise. So...” Sasuke lifted his head, wiping tears off his cheeks with the back of one hand. “Does this mean you forgive me?” Automatically, Sasuke scowled and pulled away.
“Don't push it. I'm still mad at you.” He dusted himself off and shoved his hands in his pockets. “It's really getting late now. Time to head home”
Itachi snorted as they started back the way they came, unaware something was tracking their every movement from the cover of nearby bushes. “If you hadn't run so far, it wouldn't've taken me so long to find you again.”
“Well, if you hadn't been such a jackass, I wouldn't've run away!”
“C'mon, did you really think that legend was real? I mean, the farmers' animals are probably getting attacked by some random bear or something. There's no way those pictures were real.”
“Of course I didn't think it was-- wait.” They stopped. Their watcher stopped, then slowly started slinking towards the two teens, staying carefully hidden. “What d'you mean, getting attacked? I thought you made it all up.”
“Well... No, but it doesn't really matter, does it? These backwoods folks make up shit all the time to mess with newcomers--” A twig cracked, making them both flinch. Sasuke turned accusatory eyes on his brother.
“Itachi...”
“What? I'm not doing anything.”
The rustle of something moving.
“Damn it, Itachi! You promised, so stop whatever it is you're doing!”
The older Uchiha spread his arms wide. “I swear, it's not me! Hey, it's probably one of the locals or something. I told you, they mess with city people all the time.” He turned towards the general area the sounds were coming from. The watcher froze. “We know you're there, so knock it off! Leave us alone!”
Growling.
“... Itachi, maybe we should just keep walking--”
“No, now I'm annoyed!” Itachi took up the gun, planning to scare whoever it was away. “C'mon out, you fuckers! I'm armed and not afraid to shoot!”
Big mistake.
Roaring, a massive orange blur came shooting out of the darkness and tackled Itachi to the ground, the ebony-haired teen's head smacking heavily against the ground. The gun was ripped from his hands and tossed carelessly into the bushes by snapping jaws. It looked from the unconscious boy beneath it to Sasuke, standing paralyzed with fear only feet away. Its nine tails twitching agitatedly behind it, the monster took a single step towards the hyperventilating form, only to watch as the younger Uchiha's eyes rolled back in his head. Sasuke crumpled to the ground.
