A/N: Finally... they reunite!
They were at the centre of the Uchiha Complex, right in front of the main household. Standing under the Sakura tree, the raven gazed far ahead. In his mind… he saw a little kid… sitting under this very same Sakura tree… laughing and chatting with his brother. The kid looked so happy… with hope and aspiration burning in his eyes… and love for his brother blossoming in his heart…
He wanted to be that kid again.
Kakashi opened the scroll to begin the preparation. He splayed it on the ground, then motioned Sasuke to make the next move while he made the necessary hand-signs on behalf of the raven.
Sasuke got the hint and took out his kunai. Once he made a cut on his forefinger, Kakashi collected a drop of his blood on his own hand and thrust it on the scroll.
“Aaaaah!!”
Fire! His eyes were on fire!
Burning! Like someone was pouring hot liquid metal in his eyes!
Then… as suddenly as it came… it was gone!
He hadn’t realized when his knees had given up. When he finally became conscious of his surroundings again, he found himself lying on the ground… his hand covering his eyes… and his whole frame shaking violently!
“Sasuke! Are you alright?!”
He managed to nod slightly.
This was not the time to be giving up. He forced himself to get up. But what was this emptiness he was feeling? His eyes… he could see everything like before… but… something was not right!
Ah!
He remembered.
It’s gone…
My Rinnegan is gone forever…
~.~.~
“Nii-san…”
Is someone calling me?
“Nii-san…”
W-wait… is that… Sasuke?!
“Nii-san, where are you…?”
Sasuke… he’s looking for me!
But… I’m dead… right? How can I hear him… here? Am I imagining this? But the dead aren’t supposed to imagine anything! Have I… have I been missing him so much… that I’m hearing his voice now?
If I were alive, I’d have thought I’d gone crazy.
“…I miss you.”
There it is again!
Sasuke…!
My little brother needs me... I have to reach him somehow…
I don’t care if I’m dead.
~.~.~
“Uchiha Itachi! Can you hear me?”
Blinding light was surrounding the whole area. It was hard to see anything at all. Amidst all that… Kakashi was calling out to the departed soul of the older Uchiha.
Sasuke stood here… unable to move… unable to tear his eyes away…
Waiting.
His brain had already stopped processing any thoughts. His body felt numb. There was only one name ringing in his ears… burning in his flesh… branding itself in his entire being…
Itachi!
What if… What if it didn’t work? What if all this was just another game life was playing with him? He shouldn’t be surprised. After all… it’d always been like that.
Played by destiny. Deceived by fate.
“Yes.”
His whole body jolted up. That… that voice! He would recognize that voice anywhere! No one else possessed such a beautiful voice… soft and calm… and yet… so deep. There was no mistake…
…it was him!
How many years had passed since he’d last heard his voice?
Nii-san…
Suddenly his throat felt dry. He was thirsty. Thirsty for more… and it scared him. Because now… if the situation went against him… he wasn’t sure if he’d be able to control himself anymore…
“This is Hatake Kakashi of the Leaf. You have been summoned using the Ephemeral Reanimation Jutsu by the wish of Uchiha Sasuke. Should you choose to be reanimated, you shall be granted a body of flesh and blood as a living human being for one day and one day only. If you do not wish to be brought back, then we will leave you in peace. Please excuse us for the trouble we must have caused.”
Silence.
Deafening silence.
It was piercing through his heart… swallowing him… suffocating him…
Nii-san…
He prayed silently… intently…
Come back…
With all his heart he was calling out to his brother…
Please…
“Sasuke… Open your eyes.”
He didn’t know he’d closed his eyes until he heard Kakashi’s voice. When he slowly opened them, he noticed that the dazzling light from the jutsu was gone… along with the scroll.
Is it over? Did we fail?
He looked around to let his eyes adjust to the lack of brightness. Then… far ahead in the front… he saw something. What was that? He tried to look more closely. And he realized. It wasn’t something… it was…
Someone.
Tha-Thump. Tha-Thump. Tha-Thump.
His heart was racing. Could that be… who he thought that was?
The figure started to move. As the person came closer, Sasuke was able to make out his features… one by one.
Pale white skin.
Obsidian eyes.
Midnight black hair… tied into a ponytail.
Necklace of silver rings.
His body froze.
He’s here!
He tried to speak… but nothing came out.
He’s really here!
All he could do was gape at the person in front of him. He was wearing the same clothes as the last time they’d seen each other. Black mesh shirt, black pants and that dark brown cloak. He hadn’t aged a day.
Sasuke looked at himself. Dark blue shirt, light blue vest, black pants and black cloak… By appearance, he was now older than his brother.
He turned his gaze back to the man standing before him.
“Nii-san…”
You’ve come!
For so long I’ve waited for this moment… and now you’re in front of me…
I want to hold you in my arms… but I’m afraid you’ll disappear as soon as I touch you…
Maybe I still think it’s a dream…
Even if it is… even if I am dreaming… I never ever want to wake up…
Aniki… do you feel the same…?
Do you also long to see me… to hear my voice…?
To… touch me?
“Sasuke…”
I wasn’t sure before if I should have come back at all…
But looking into your eyes… I know I’ve made the right choice…
Your eyes… they’re the same as mine… reflecting the same pain we’ve both felt for all these years…
And now… as I call your name… your eyes tear up… and the yearning you were so badly trying to cover up… becomes naked in those dark orbs.
Tell me little brother… do you miss my presence…?
Are you also incomplete without me… like I am without you?
~.~.~.~.~
We were far apart… but I could never let you go…
~.~.~.~.~
We were far apart… but I never wanted you to let go…
~.~.~.~.~
Their thoughts aligned… like two melodies creating an orchestra.
We were far apart… but just for today… our hearts shall beat as one.
Kakashi watched the two brothers as they became lost in their own sanctuary. His job here was done. It was time to go.
When he reached the end of the complex, he saw a figure approaching from the distance.
So… you have come…
He waited till the figure went past him… inside the complex.
Take care of them…
Before leaving, he used a sealing jutsu around the entire place. It’s not that he distrusted Sasuke, but he needed to handle this matter carefully.
It’s up to you now Sasuke…
They were staring at each other, as if they’d seen each other for the very first time. Time seemed to stop right there. Wind kept flowing… Sakura petals flowed with it… and they stood there… looking into each other’s eyes…
They say that eyes are the doorways to one’s soul…
~.~.~.~.~
Now that I’m staring into your eyes… does it mean I’m looking into your soul, nii-san?
~.~.~.~.~
So much time of being apart… and now I see you all grown up in front of me. I want to know so much about you otouto… all those years that I’ve missed being with you… I wish I could know all about them…
~.~.~.~.~
It’s funny how little I actually know about you… even though you are my brother… so many years lost in hatred… how I wish I could be by your side then…
~.~.~.~.~
They said nothing… but their hearts were already in sync… thinking about the same things without having any knowledge about it. If anyone saw them right now, they’d know instantly… these two… they existed for each other…
Sakura petals. Itachi watched them flow around and the color reminded him of the person standing in front of him. He remembered how Sasuke used to blush every time he was nervous or embarrassed. And how his cheeks would turn rosy… just like the ones flowing around them now…
He noticed a small petal… clinging to his younger sibling’s hair… and felt a sudden urge to remove it. He took one step forward. Sasuke stared at him… surprise in his eyes. Another step. Those creamy cheeks started to flush… taking the color of the petal resting on his hair. Itachi watched him in awe. The distance between them slowly lessened until they were close enough to feel each other’s breath.
He’s so close… If I just reach out my hand… I can touch him…
But before Sasuke could do that… he felt his older brother’s fingers touch his locks. He froze.
I stroke his velvety black strands to take the petal out. But as soon as I touch him… I can feel his body trembling…
I look at his face… his cheeks adorned by a darker shade of pink… his lips… soft and supple… his eyes… dark and dangerous… yet they seem to be pleading for something…
It’s those eyes that captivate me the most… the mysteries hidden in them… the emotions masked within…
My baby brother has grown into a bold man… but I still see hints of softness in his heart…
No… maybe only I see them…
I’m the only one he’s showing all of himself to…
Something warm filled his heart. He couldn’t resist anymore.
A tremor went through their bodies the moment they embraced each other. Instantly the older Uchiha noticed that something was different about his brother and let go of him.
“Sasuke… your arm…”
The raven chuckled. “Lost it to Naruto.”
Itachi waited to hear more, but he got nothing. Just when he was about to ask again, Sasuke spoke.
“I could have gotten it fixed. But… I wanted to keep it this way.” He looked at his brother. “For me… it’s a reminder of the mistakes I’ve made. I can’t let myself forget that… no matter what.”
The moment he finished talking, he found himself in the arms of the older male. Itachi ruffled his hair… and for a moment he felt like he was that little kid again.
“I’m so proud of you otouto.”
“Nii-san…”
There was a lump in his throat… his eyes started getting blurry… and he found himself crying. There was no controlling it anymore. All he could do was hold onto his older brother and pray that this moment would last forever…
Unnoticed by the reunited siblings, someone hidden in the shadows was watching them closely.
A/N: I kinda kept alternating between Itachi and Sasuke's thoughts in the middle. I hope it wasn't too ambiguous. :(
