Chapter 6: Dream a Little Dream of Me.
The sun shone through gaps in the trees, sending rays of light to dance with the shadows of the leaves upon the forest floor. Sasuke hurried along the path as fast as his short legs could carry him to get out of sight of his family home, and his annoying baby sitter. He knew his parents didn't like him to play here, but he was five years old now and had graduated from his kindergarten class already, he could start taking care of himself and certainly didn't need a babysitter. Shisui was boring and never paid attention to him anyway. All he did was homework. He would much rather have his brother to hang out with than his cousin. Itachi was fun and told him stories and taught him things, like magic, and how to use a sword, even if it was only child's wood sword. But Itachi wasn't here right now. He'd been gone a long time taking on dangerous missions. One day Sasuke would be there to fight along with him, but he had to get stronger first. And that wasn't going to happen hanging out with Shisui. He trudged along the path until he had run out of breath. He stopped and bent over clutching his knees as he gasped trying to breath properly again. Standing up he looked around at the trees and realized that he'd reached the first fork in the path. He hadn't been this far into the forest alone before, and Itachi had always told him to stick to the main path as the forest was dangerous. Itachi wasn't afraid of anything, so Sasuke couldn't be either. He headed down the path that branched off the main one.
He walked for awhile and was beginning to feel uneasy. The path was overgrown and narrow and the trees were closer together here so there was less light. Sasuke was beginning to regret his rash behavior, and wondered if he should turn and run back now. Shisui probably hadn't even noticed that he left yet so he wouldn't even get in trouble. Sasuke shook his head and balled his tiny hands into fists, defiantly. No. His brother would never run away and neither would he. Itachi had once told him there was a waterfall at the end of the first path with stones that shone like rubies. Sasuke would reach it retrieve one of the stones before heading back. That would prove to his parents that he could indeed take care of himself and didn't need Shisui. He needed to start training so that he could catch up to Itachi. So Sasuke kept going down the path. The more he walked, the more nervous he got. He could hear something out in the trees and it made him stop, frozen in place. It sounded like a low growling. He listened, trying to figure out where it was coming from, or what it was coming from. It wasn’t a kind of growling he recognized. And the answer hit him and he broke into a run. The sound wasn’t growling at all, it was the waterfall, he was almost there. At last he reached a clearing the trees. There was the waterfall it wasn't a big one, but it sure was noisy. Sasuke couldn't see any red stones from here, would have to get closer. But something caught his eye as he approached. There was a broken down shack near the base of the cliff from which the waterfall cascaded down. There was something about the shack that scared Sasuke. He couldn't see auras yet, like his brother could, but he could feel them, and the one he felt coming from the shack in front of him made the hair on the back of his neck stand straight up. His fear finally got the better of him, and he turned to flee, only to trip and fall flat on his face, knocking himself out.
Sasuke awoke with a start. He was breathing heavily, staring up at the pale colored ceiling of his flat. This particular dream had been plaguing him since arriving in Konoha. He knew it was a memory from when he was very small, but arriving at that shack was as far as the the dream ever went. He couldn’t remember what had been in the shack, but there was something in it. Something that he needed to remember. He sat up in bed and rubbed his temples with his thumbs. This nightmare had interrupted his sleep twice this week alone. Why couldn’t he just remember? Sighing, he swung his legs out of bed and stood up. Itachi had taken him home the night before, and was currently asleep on the couch. Sasuke debated leaving his room in risk of waking his brother, as Itachi had looked so exhausted yesterday. But his hunger and thrust won out and he slowly opened his bedroom door. He could see the form of his brother still dozing soundly on the oversized couch. He didn’t move when the door opened, and his aura had stayed relaxed and that of sleep.
Sasuke quickly and quietly headed to the kitchen I search of food. He should make something for Itachi too. It was odd, he thought he should feel strange seeing his brother again after so many years, but he didn’t. I felt completely natural to have his brother here. It was as though he’d just stopped by for a visit, and hadn’t been a missing traitor who’d slaughtered their kin. More questions began to form in Sasukes head as he stared into the freezer, but they weren’t questions of Itachi’s loyalty and intent. He trusted his brother, and nothing would change that, but how had Itachi come to this particular city? The place where and enemy clan had resided. He pulled a can of orange juice from the freezer and placed it in the microwave. He’d decided on making pancakes for breakfast as he and Itachi has done growing up. He was looking through the cabinets when he heard footsteps behind him.
“Good morning, little brother.” Itachi greeted him with a yawn.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you.” Sasuke found what he was looking for and turned out face him. The dark circles under his eyes has lessened, but not disappeared. He stared at his brother for a moment, not quite knowing what to say.
“You still have questions?” He surmised, smiling at Sasuke. The later nodded slowly. “Ok. You cook, I’ll answer.” And he seated himself on the otherwise of the kitchen island Sasuke was standing at.
“Why here? Why did you come here, when our family was at war with this clan?” He began looking for the other ingredients he needed around the kitchen.
“It was an accident really.” He shrugged, “ Madara a attacked me when I refused to help him, and I ran. There was no way I could hold them all off on my own. As it was I was gravely wounded.” He paused for a moment as though trying to figure out the best way to word the next part of his story. “After Minato was killed, a man named Mizuki was put in charge of the clan. Under him it fell into disrepair. If he had been the one to find me, I would have been killed immediately.”
“Who found you then? Kakashi?” Sasuke interrupted impatiently. He was stirring the pancake batter a little too vigorously and had splattered some on the counter. He set the bowl down and grabbed some paper towels to clean it up. Itachi smiled at him before continuing.
“No, I was sitting at the edge of the forest, bleeding to death in enemy territory, when Naruto found me. He knew who I was and what clan I was from. He’s Minato‘s son, you see?” Itachi stopped allowing Sasuke to take in the information.
“And he helped you? Why?” Naruto, why did it always come back to Naruto?
“Without hesitation. He took me and hid me while I healed. He brought me a healer, a witch with incredible abilities. And when I was well enough he asked for my help in reclaiming the clan away from Mizuki.” Sasuke placed a plate of food in front of him and took the seat to his right. “Together with the witch, Tsunade, and Kakashi, we overtook Mizuki and the clan members that sided with him. Naruto killed Mizuki himself, and Kakashi took his place as head of the clan.”
“Why didn’t Naruto take over if it’s his family’s clan?” The more he learned about Naruto, the more he seemed to want to know.
Itachi shrugged. “He’s not old enough for one, he didn’t want to, for another.” He hesitated again, “ he was placed into Mizuki’s care after his parents death, and suffered greatly for it. Mizuki was not at all what normal people would consider decent.” His face took on pained expression. “He is a very damaged person, but even after everything he has been through, his heart still remains kind. I asked him to watch over you when I learned you would be sent here. I was still on a mission when I got the news. You were meant to draw me out so that Madara could finish me off. He didn’t realize that Mizuki was gone, so it actually played out in our favor, wouldn’t you say?” I ruffled Sasuke’s hair and smiled warmly. “It is good to see you again, little brother.”
And for the first time in a very long while, all of Sasukes unease and worry seemed to vanish. He knew the road ahead was going to be long and difficult. Stopping Madara wouldn’t be easy, and he assumed neither would closing the gates, but whatever happened from here on out, he had his brother at his side.
