Chapter 5: Truth and Lies

The silence in the chamber felt as though it was echoing inside Sasuke's head. Kakashi didn't answer him. He was staring after Naruto with a confused expression on his scared face. Sauske's patience had run out. “Answer me!” His hands were balled into fist as he stepped in front of Kakashi, so that the man could not avoid looking at him any longer “Tell me what the Hell is going on!” Kakashi looked down at him. The confused expression had given way to a blank slightly irritated expression. “Who are you people, and what does my brother have to do with any of this!”
Kakashi merely blinked at him. “He should be here by now. He can answer your questions.” His attention left Sasuke and went to Sakura, who was still looking at the place Naruto had vanished into the tunnels, her face wet with tears. “Sakura.” he said softly, she jumped slightly at the sound of her name.
“What happened?” her soft voice cracked as she spoke. Kakashi didn't answer her question, either, so she turned to look at him. “Why did that happen to him?” she pointed towards where Naruto had last been. “That surge of power, thats not him, hes not that strong.”
Kakashi brought a hand up rub his chin thoughtfully, “I have a theory, but I'm not sure yet.” He gestured towards Gaara, “In the mean time, I think Mr. Sabaku could use some medical attention.”
“Oh... yes. Of course I'll take him to the Medical Bay.” Her voice sounded far away, as though her mind where still somewhere else. But she quickly stepped over to Gaara. The girl, Temari, and that other boy that had been holding her back during the fight were kneeling next to him. They helped him to his feet as Sakura approached, and supported him as they all followed her out of the chamber. It did not appear that the demon boy could use the arm that Naruto had twisted behind his back.
“Shikamaru. Will you take Sasuke to my office. I will be there shortly.” And Kakashi too left down another passage.

Shikamaru sighed and muttered something that sounded like “Troublesome,” before tapping Sasuke on the shoulder and pointed towards a set of stairs to their left. Sasuske had recoiled slightly at the touch. The vampire's hands felt like ice. Shikamaru just rolled his eyes. “That prejudiced you hold isn’t going to do you any favors.”
“Call it self preservation.” Sasuke sneered, but still followed him towards the stairs, and Shikamaru chuckled softly.
“One day you'll see what a true monster really looks like, and then it will all make sense as to why we are so willing work together.” Sasuke highly doubted that. All monsters were the same. They all needed to be hunted to extinction. They all needed to die. And he, Sasuke, would be a warrior for the light against them. If his brother had truly switched sides, then he would need to cut down along side them.

Kakashi's office was the first room off the top of the stairs. Sasuke was a little taken aback as to the state of place. Books and papers were stacked haphazardly everywhere, and felt that even the slightest breeze would send everything crashing to the floor.
“You're welcome to take a seat if you can find one.” Shikamaru seated himself in the chair behind the desk and put his feet up on the desk. He laced his fingers behind his head and eyed Sasuke over the papers stacked on the desk. Sasuke had remained standing. “What happened to you to make you hate anyone different from you so intensely?”

“Happened? Nothing happened. You're monsters. What is there to understand beyond that.” Sasuke was irritated by the question.
“I was human once, you know.” he stated as though it should clearly explain something to Sasuke.

“You're not human any longer. You probably don’t even remember what it was like to be human. How long has it been?”

“About two years. I was on a mission for the clan. Took a hit for a fellow teammate. I remember dying in Temari's arms. A few days later, I woke up like this. I still have no idea who turned me, or why. Its actually rather awkward, watching my friends and family, people I've know my entire life, people I love, slowly age while I stay the same.” He shrugged, nonchalantly despite the forlorn tone of his words.

Sasuke thought for a moment. If he could goad the vampire into attacking him, perhaps he could kill and claim self defense in face of the rest of the clan. He could dispose of this monster and walk out of this place scott free. Then he could move on to the demons.“You don't have to. You know the noble thing to do, don't you? There's no guarantee that you wouldn’t hurt or kill those people you claim to still love. Assuming that a vampire is capable of emotion. Which I doubt.”

Shikamaru blinked at him and then laughed. It was not the reaction Sasuke was expecting at all.
“Its funny how two people raised in the same environment, with the same parents and teachers could turn out so differently. Did you never question anything like he did?”
Sasuke's hand moved instinctively to the hilt of his sword. “Don't you ever compare me to that traitor.”

“Traitor? After everything he has done for you?”

But before Sasuke could answer, the door opened behind him, and Kakashi stepped through followed closely by Itachi.

Sasuke couldn't move. All the things he had wanted to ask his brother, all the things he had wanted to shout at him caught in his throat as they all tried to exit his mouth at once. “You!.... you... you... Traitor!”

Itachi only looked at him and smiled lovingly. “Hello little brother. Eloquent as always, I see.” He moved to seat himself on the edge of one of the table lining the wall. Kakashi did the same. “Yes, Sasuke, I have a lot to explain to you if you are willing to listen.”

Sasuke glared, but crossed his arms and waited.

“Perhaps it would make the most sense if I started, Itachi” Kakashi said. “The question you asked earlier about who we are, actually starts all this.” he rubbed his chin for a moment, deciding where to start. “I'm not sure how familiar you are with clan history, but there was once a clan in ever city. One family of gifted individuals tasked with protecting their given city from the things that go bump in the night. It worked like this for centuries. But as time went on, the clans began to die out. They waged wars on each other over ethics and killing methods and various other arbitrary reasons, and in that time their enemies grew stronger. With all their energy directed at each other, they were easy picking. This clan,” he waved his hand indicating their current location, “was one of the strongest. The Namikaze clan.”

“I've never heard of that one.” Sasuke said flatly.
“You wouldn't have, Sasuke.” Itachi was speaking now his tone was dire and serious, “Our family betrayed them and wiped them out, in order to gain power. Minato, the last head of this clan, and the last of his line, had formed a team with our uncle Madara to close the dimensional gates and end the conflict once and for all. But Madara had decided that he'd rather use the power of the gates for himself, and turned on Minato.” He looked at Sauske intensely, willing him to understand the depth of what he was saying. “That what our clan, our family, is doing Sasuke. Madara wants to use the gates to take over the world, with the Uchiha clan reigning supreme.”

“I... I don't understand.” Sasuke took a step backwards, away from his brother. “What gates? What power?”

“There are seven gates throughout the world that connect our reality to the one that all supernatural entities originate from. That world holds power. Power that could be tapped into with the correct runes. With that kind of power.... Madara would be unstopable. We cannot let that happen.” Itachi stood and stepped towards Sasuke. “I didn't betray you, Sasuke.” He spoke softly and moved towards Sasuke as though he was a wounded animal that might bolt at any second. Sasuke's eyes darted towards the door wondering if he could in fact run and make it out of her alive. “Madara found out that I had discovered his plan, and tried to get me to join him. He tried to kill me when I refused. I escaped, and he killed 10 of our clan members and blamed me for it.”

“If that was true the why didn't you contact me!? Let me know, let mom and dad know that you were innocent or what Madara was trying to do!” Sasuke snapped back.

“They already know, Sasuke. They are on Madara's side. The clan seems to be divided almost right down the middle on who is in on it. I didn't know who to trust, or if telling you would put you in danger. Though they must have know I would do anything to protect you, as they sent you here to draw me out. If anyone but Kakashi was leading this clan, you would have been attacked as soon as you entered the city.” He was standing in front of Sasuke now, and placed his hands on either of his little brother's shoulders. Sasuke looked up at him, that lost feeling was back. He didn't want to believe his brother, It was too horrible to be true, but he did. He believed every word Itachi had said. His own mother and father had sent him to die to get to his brother. His uncle had planned to murder innocent people for power, had destroyed the other clans, and had tried to kill Itachi. “Sasuke, we have to stop him. I need your help.”

Sasuke stared at him. He had always trusted Itachi above anyone else. “Ok.”
