Also, thanks to smint45 for the review! <3
Kakashi watched in horror as the man in front of him started laughing like a maniac. What the hell! Sasuke never laughed. Never! And this wasn’t even a normal laugh. He seemed possessed or something. Kakashi wasn’t sure what do to. He was frantically thinking how to deal with the situation when suddenly, the hysterical laughter stopped. Sasuke looked at him like nothing had happened at all.
What was going on? Now he was beginning to suspect if the raven’s mental condition was even stable…

“You think I don’t try? Every god damn fucking day I try!” Sasuke looked tired. “You don’t understand how it is. Nobody does!”
“Sasuk-”
“I KILLED HIM!!!”
Tears slowly began to roll down his pale cheeks. He didn’t even bother wiping them. What’s the use holding this façade when inside he was already crumbled into tiny pieces? Kakashi was torn between going over to the man to soothe him and staying where he was. Finally he decided to do the later. He knew Sasuke needed his help. But comforting the Uchiha would only hurt his ego and then he might even refuse to ask for help.
“It wasn’t your faul-”
“Don’t give me that shit!”
“Sasuke, Relax!” Kakashi pinched his nose, his eyes closed.
There was something in the Hokage’s voice that forced him to calm down. His body seemed to loosen up a bit as he kept staring at the silver haired male.
“I know there’s a reason why you have come to see me. But I can’t help you unless you let me in.”
Sasuke knew he was right. But… it wasn’t easy to break down the walls he’d been creating around himself for all these years. Kakashi understood. He waited with patience as the raven struggled with himself to find the right words.

“I can’t move on”, he started with a strained voice.
Kakashi slowly got up and stood beside the raven, facing the opposite wall, and silently encouraged him to go on.
“It - it’s like I’m stuck right there… on that day… that moment… when he left me”, he shuddered at the agonizing memory. “My body has moved on. But my mind… my heart… my soul…”, he took a sharp breath.“ It’s as if they’re trapped in the past…”
It was unlike Uchiha Sasuke to open up so much to someone. But he knew that Kakashi needed to understand. He needed to see things from his point of view, feel the pain he was going through. Only then… he would be able to help him. What he was going to ask for was almost the impossible… but he had to try. He couldn’t live with himself if he never tried.
And Kakashi did understand. He knew how close the brothers had been before the massacre. And he had seen with his own eyes as Sasuke was slowly consumed by the hatred he’d harbored within himself. The idea of revenge had erased the young Uchiha of all rationalities and without realizing he was slowly turning into the very thing he so much despised in his older brother. If only the truth was revealed sooner! Things could have been so much different.
He sighed. It was no use wishing the impossible. He needed to focus on the task at hand.
“You have to stop blaming yourself Sasuke.”
“I’ve made so many mistakes…”
“Learn to forgive yourself.”
He became silent for a moment.
“How would you feel Kakashi… if you had killed the most precious person in your life… with your very own hands? The one who had spent their entire life protecting you… sacrificed everything for your sake! Tell me… would you be able to live with yourself after that?” he exhaled.

Nii-san…

“I never got to tell him… how much I…” his voice trailed off.

… I miss you.

“We are Shinobi. Our lives are never easy Sasuke. Losing cherished ones is an inevitable thing we all must endure.” Kakashi turned his face to the side. “And we must endure without showing any weakness. That is the way of Shinobi.”

The Uchiha laughed dryly.
“He killed my parents. I avenged them by killing him”, his calm voice startled the Hokage. “But then, I killed my older brother. How do I avenge him?”
Kakashi absorbed the words with shock.
What?! He isn’t suicidal, is he?

As if reading his thoughts, Sasuke smirked.
“Don’t worry. I’m not gonna kill myself. Although… I must say that is a rather tempting idea.”

This was bad. For how long had this been going on? Knowing Sasuke… he must have bottled up these emotions all along. Then… why tell him now? Was he just tired of carrying the burden all by himself… or was it something else?
“Sasuke, talk to me. Tell me what you need…”
Uchiha Sasuke looked uncertain for a moment. How was he going to state his request? What if… what if the Hokage didn’t agree with his plan? What would he do then…?
“Alright.”
He closed his eyes… debating with himself for a while…
“I… need a favor.”
That was no surprise. Of course he needed a favor. That was the whole reason of this untimely visit. But what could it be?
“Well… what is it?”
Sharingan eyes snapped open.
“I need you… to bring him back!”
“…What?!?!” His eyes were fully alert now.
Did I just hear what I think I heard? Sasuke wants… to bring Itachi back… from dead?!

This was not happening. Kakashi panicked. A lot had been sacrificed to make Sasuke see the right path. So many lives… so much pain… but in the end it was worth it. He’d come to his senses. And now… to even think that he could go off the track again! His burden wasn’t easy to bear… of all people Kakashi knew it best. But asking for the impossible? Was he really that desperate?
“Do you even know what you are talking about, Sasuke?!”
“I do.” The Uchiha sounded surprisingly calm. “And I believe you do too.”

Reanimation Jutsu…

Could he possibly be thinking about using that?
Kakashi recalled the forbidden ninjutsu… Reanimation… the jutsu that had caused so much destruction and violence… over and over.
“That jutsu is forbidden and you know it.”
“Don’t sweat yourself. I’m not planning on using the Reanimation Jutsu. Well… not the one Orochimaru used anyway.”
Aniki would never approve…

Kakashi found himself at a loss.

Damn Sasuke! What are you playing at?

“Then… what are you suggesting actually?”
“Ever heard of the Ephemeral Reanimation Jutsu?”
“The what-?”
Sasuke couldn’t help feeling a little smug. It looked like there actually was some information he possessed that even the Hokage wasn’t aware of. But he didn’t let that show on his face. Instead, he reached his pocket with his only arm and pulled out a scroll.
“I found it while I was at Orochimaru’s lair. Apparently, it contains information about some failed experiment of his… experiment regarding the Reanimation Jutsu.”
He handed the scroll to Kakashi before continuing.
“I couldn’t completely figure it out on my own. But as far as I’ve been able to learn, they named it the Ephemeral Reanimation Jutsu. It is probably some kind of incomplete version of the actual jutsu which allows only a temporary revival of the deceased. I’m guessing that’s why they labeled it as a failure.”
“But… it’s still a version of the reanimation jutsu.”
Really Sasuke… have you gone mad?!
“Yes, I know. But you see… the reanimation is forbidden because it plays with destiny… it changes what has already been written. And also because of the amount of destruction it’s capable of. Besides, using it requires a living soul which results in murdering innocent people. But this jutsu… it’s not like that. There are certain differences.”
“Like?”
“The reanimation jutsu uses a vessel to bring back the deceased; this jutsu however, grants a body to the soul of the departed. So there is no need for another living soul. It can’t change the course of fate because it summons the soul only for a limited amount of time, not permanently. And as it was still in the middle of experimenting, they hadn’t developed any formula for mind control. So the one casting the jutsu cannot have any control over the reanimated soul.”
“Doesn’t it require the blood of the one to be reanimated… for summoning?”
“Apparently… it’s the opposite. The summoning is performed by using blood from the caster.”
“Sasuke… you should have reported this to me as soon as possible. What were you doing hiding this kind of thing with you all this time?” Kakashi retorted after taking the scroll from him.
Sasuke seemed hesitant.

Yes… I was tempted to the very edge. Yes… I stored it because I wanted to use it. I kept it hidden… so that no one could take away the very last chance I was grasping at… One last chance… to see you…
…Nii-san.

“…Nothing.”

But I didn’t. Because I know… you’d never want me to pursue the wrong track again. And no matter how desperate I am to see you just for once… I could never hurt you… not anymore…
So here I stand. Asking for one last chance. Asking… not snatching… not demanding.

Can you hear me nii-san…? Can you feel how lonely I am… without you…?
Is it ironic that I comply with your every unspoken wish even though I’m the one who killed you…?

Kakashi sighed. This was more complicated than he had anticipated. Well, it was Sasuke after all. Of course he wouldn’t come unprepared. He scanned the scroll in his hand.
Might as well take a look at it…

While Hatake Kakashi opened the scroll and examined the content inside, Sasuke waited motionlessly. Even though he appeared quite calm and relaxed, his mind was restless.
Tension. Worry. Anxiety. Fear.
All these were clouding his senses… eating away his soul… bit by bit.

After what seemed like an eternity, the masked ninja finally looked up.
“Sasuke, you know about the Reanimation Jutsu. It forces the deceased soul to come back to life. To apply such a thing to someone… to bring them back without any regards to their wish… that is outright selfish… and also… an insult to that person!” he lowered his voice. “He has already gone through that once. Do you wish to make him suffer like that again?”
“….”
“Sasuke…”
“You think I would have brought this to you if that were the case?”
“What-”
“This… this jutsu… it has another limitation…”
“…and what would that be?”
“It allows the person it is cast upon… to make a choice. In other words, the jutsu will not activate unless he decides to come back.” He paused. “You see… I’m leaving the consequences in his hands. Forcing him to come back… that’s the last thing I want.”

Kakashi watched him with admiration.
Sasuke… you’ve grown up into a fine man…

“Alright then. How much have you been able to find out from it?”
“I already told you what I know.”
“Hmm… I need some time to study the scroll to fully understand its extent and also if it might cause any kind of danger.”
“How long?”
“Give me two days.”
He was about to protest… but calmed himself for some reason.
“Fine.”
“Right then. Meet me here after two days.”
The raven nodded before turning to leave.

“Sasuke-”
He stopped and turned his head slightly to confirm that he was listening.
“What will you do… if… if I don’t agree to help out with this?”
Sasuke turned around to face his former sensei.
“You are worried that I’ll go berserk if I’m rejected, aren’t you?”
Kakashi said nothing as he continued to observe the man before him.
“I don’t blame you for thinking like that.” He smiled.
Hatake Kakashi had never seen Sasuke smile before. And he certainly had never seen someone with a smile as sad as this. For a moment he regretted asking the question. But he needed to know. So he kept staring at the Uchiha with expressionless eyes.
“It’s about him Kakashi. I would never do anything to dishonor him.”
His eyes blazed with passion.
“Never!”

Kakashi knew at that instant… Sasuke wasn’t lying. He would give his life if need be… but never would he go against the ideals of Uchiha Itachi.
But observing how the raven was behaving… how intensely he felt for the older Uchiha, there was also something else he realized at that moment. Something Sasuke had kept hidden in the darkest corner of his heart… something he never wanted anyone else to ever find out…

Uchiha Sasuke was sinfully and irrevocably in love… with his brother.

The brother he had murdered with his own hands.
