“Otouto…”
They were taking a stroll through the forest, enjoying each other’s company, when Itachi called out to him. Sasuke turned to look at his brother.
“There’s something I wanted to ask.”
“What is it aniki?”
“…”
“Aniki…?”
“Why did you bring me back?”
Uh-oh!
This was a question he was dreading to face all day. He knew Itachi would be asking it at some point and he also knew he couldn’t get away with an excuse.
“Before that, I want to know something from you as well.” He tried to change the topic.
“Very well.”
“You lost your left eyesight when you’d used Izanami against Kabuto.”
“Yes. Using the Izanami causes the eye to go blind and lose its light forever.”
“Then how come both your eyes are fully functioning now?”
Itachi stopped for a moment. “Yes… you’re right…”
“Yeah… not that I’m complaining nii-san”, the raven added quickly. “But I’m curious.”
“Hmm… I’m not entirely sure. But my guess is that this jutsu that you cast to bring me back, it’s on a different level from any other jutsu. Not only did it grant me flesh and blood, but it also restored all my abilities.”
“I see...”
So that’s why it was so well hidden by Orochimaru. Even though it was a failed experiment, the extent of this jutsu is beyond imaginable! It’s a good thing Kakashi destroyed the scroll.
“What were you doing with such a dangerous jutsu Sasuke! It’s too risky. You have to make sure it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.”
“Don’t worry nii-san”, Sasuke assured him. “I only used it this once. And Kakashi’s already destroyed the scroll that contained it. So, everything’s under control.”
“Is that so…? That’s good.” Itachi exhaled. “Now then little brother, my turn. Why did you bring me back?”
Well, so much for changing topic. Sasuke had no way of dodging the question anymore. He had to answer now.
“I have my reasons.” He said while looking at the ground intently. He knew this wasn’t a fair answer. But what other choice did he have?
“Sasuke… if there is something you need my help with-”
“No, it’s not like that.” He cut his brother off. Looking into his eyes… he saw confusion… and uncertainty. “I… needed this.”
He sat down under a tree and saw his brother do the same.
“Needed what?”
Sasuke looked at him with piercing eyes.
You!
“To see you once more…” he choked out the next words… “One last time…”
He looked down at his hands. They were trembling.
Please stop… don’t ask me anymore…
Itachi studied his younger brother with keen eyes. There was still so much confusion… so many questions unanswered. But looking at Sasuke, he knew the other was feeling distraught… and that wasn’t something he wanted to do. He’d been lucky enough to be granted any time with his most precious person, no matter what the reason was. He definitely wasn’t going to waste it talking about stuffs that caused the other any discomfort.
It doesn’t matter… I’ll be gone within a few hours anyway…
Sasuke was startled when his brother suddenly got up. He looked up anxiously… searching his face to see if his words had upset the other somehow. But Itachi was smiling.
“Let’s get going. It’s going to be dark soon.”
The raven got up as well… still worried about offending the older. “Nii-san…”
“Hmm…”
“Are you… angry with me?”
He earned a poke on the forehead as a reply and heard his brother chuckle lightly. And damn! That sound made every inch of his skin tingle with delight.
“I could never be angry with you otouto…”
His heartbeat quickened. Such innocent words… yet they were able to turn his mind into a jumble. He tried his best to calm his heart and became a little wary when he saw Itachi’s expression turn serious.
“I will ask just one more question Sasuke. And I want an honest answer.”
“Alright…” he gulped.
“This ephemeral reanimation jutsu… I know it must require a sacrifice.”
Not that question! Sasuke screamed inwardly.
“I’m sure no human sacrifice had to be done, otherwise Kakashi wouldn’t have approved.” He continued. “Then… what kind of sacrifice did it require?”
He saw his younger brother hesitate.
“I want the truth Sasuke.” He reminded him.
What do I tell him?! If… if he knows about my left eye… he’s gonna be… I don’t even know how he’s gonna react! But he surely won’t be happy…
“I will tell you the truth. But before that, you must know one thing. This was my decision… and even though it may seem unreasonable and selfish… it is a decision I will never regret.”
Itachi remained silent for a while. “Alright…”
Sasuke looked directly in his eyes. “I have sacrificed my left Sharingan.” … He doesn’t know I possessed the Rinnegan. It’s better if I keep it that way.
The older Uchiha gasped… his eyes wide. But he said nothing.
Why would you do it Sasuke…?
He kept staring at the man in front of him… surprise leaving his eyes and being replaced with sadness.
I tried so hard to keep you safe…
He saw Sasuke walk up to him. The younger man reached out his hand and touched his cheek. He leaned into the touch.
Have I failed again…?
Sasuke saw the panicked expression on his brother’s face. He felt miserable for dumping the truth on him like that. But there was no other way.
“Aniki…” he murmured in a soft voice. Itachi closed his eyes. He looked so vulnerable… so fragile… and Sasuke hated seeing him like this.
“It’s not that bad you know…” he started again. “I still have Sharingan in my right eye.”
When Itachi made no move to reply or protest, he spoke again.
“Do you remember aniki… how you used to say I was more precious to you than anything else in the whole world…?” his lips twitched into a smile as he thought of old memories. “Well… the same goes for me too.” Using his fingers he coaxed the older to look into his eyes.
“To me… you are worth sacrificing everything in the world.”
A sharp intake of breath… and the usually impassive Uchiha Itachi slumped against his younger brother… too worn out emotionally to form any more coherent thoughts. Sasuke held him firmly, and sat back down… gently stroking the older male’s hair in an attempt to soothe him.
It was a perfect scenario. Two lonely souls on the face of earth… seeking salvation in each other… filling each other’s emptiness… uniting and completing an unsung duet.
Sometimes the purest tunes were the most sinful ones.
After sitting like that for quite a while, the brothers finally managed to get up. Itachi had already regained his composure. He looked at Sasuke with those unbelievably mystifying eyes… eyes where one could happily get lost…
“Perception should be given more importance than preconception”, he started in a quiet tone. “Even so… it’s our perspective that defines us. Everyone can be justified in their own sense of reality. I won’t say I support what you did. But you are a grown man now. I’m sure you know what you’re doing. And that’s why…” he inhaled. “… I’m going to respect your decision.”
The relief that flashed on the raven’s eyes reminded him how much his opinion still meant to the other… and it delighted him to the very core.
And then… something unexpected happened. He cupped the younger’s face in both of his hands and leaned closer. Sasuke stared at him… his breath quickening. After it felt like an eternity… he felt the elder’s lips against his temple. But soon Itachi pulled away.
“Alright then… let’s go.” He let a genuine smile grace his lips as he started walking and motioned Sasuke to follow.
Not to mention, the younger Uchiha followed him without hesitation… a small smile tugging on his lips.
Twilight. The loneliest part of a day.
Uzumaki Naruto watched from within the shadows as the one he claimed to be in love with walked back into the house with his brother. His own heart ripped into shreds… causing his inner world to succumb into darkness… much like the twilight.
“Nii-san…”
“Yes otouto…”
They spoke softly… as if trying not to disturb the peaceful tranquility surrounding them. After the walk in the forest, they had retreated back to the house and were currently in Sasuke’s room after dinner. Itachi looked around. It wasn’t much different from how it used to be. The walls were painted white. There was a bed in the middle of the room along the side of a wall. Two bedside tables were on either side of the bed and a small wardrobe was placed on another corner of the room. Because of such small amount of furniture, the room looked quite spacious. And there were large windows all over… flooding the room with moonlight.
It was the emblem of peace… like there was a soothing aura all over the room. But what captured his eyes the most were the photographs on the bedside tables. The one on his left had two photos… one of Team 7 and another of his family… with their parents and both of them. But the one on his right had only one photo, and it was this photo that made him take a sharp breath, his heart racing like a maniac!
He was sleeping peacefully with baby Sasuke carefully secured in his arms. His arms were holding the younger close, their legs entangled together. Sasuke had a smile on that angelic face of his which was tucked underneath the elder’s chin.
The photo brought a smile to his face. It had been one of those days when Sasuke had sneaked out of his room to sleep with him. Their mother had found them sleeping like that in the morning and had been tempted to take a picture because in her words… it was “too cute”. The fact that Sasuke still held on to it filled his heart with warmth and for once, he was happy that his mother had taken this picture.
Sasuke noticed the smile on his brother’s face and the serenity in his eyes.
So gorgeous…
“Do you remember the day mom and dad were away and we decided to sleep outside?” he asked.
Itachi’s eyes took a knowing look. Of course he remembered. It was one of his most cherished memories. Their parents had gone to their grandmother’s house and he’d spent all the day with his baby brother… training with him and cooking for him. And that night, they had slept outside on the porch… side by side… under the brightest moon he’d ever seen.
It was the day I felt true happiness…
“Yes… I do.”
Sasuke said nothing more as he walked up to him and held out his hand. Itachi stared at him for a while… unsure. But the encouraging smile he received from the younger prompted him to take the hand. And he was led across the room… to that very same porch where his memory had been lingering just a while ago. He breathed in. The air smelled fresh… like mint… or cinnamon. The entire place was glowing with a soft bluish light… and he realized it was full moon. He looked up to see the moon, but his eyes stopped at the sight of his brother. Sasuke was facing up… with his eyes closed and a gentle smile on his lips. The moonlight made his pale skin glow… like an angel. And Itachi stood there… awestruck.
The angel turns to stare at me with those ebony eyes that are now gleaming in the moonlight… looking more alive and enchanting than ever before… and I’m hypnotized by their intense gaze.
“Beautiful…” I whisper unconsciously. The angel smiles. My angel.
I must be in heaven.
Did Itachi just call him beautiful…?
Sasuke was sure he heard something… but it just seemed too good to be true. He decided to let it slide for now and led his brother to the small bed placed at the corner. They both sat down side by side. Itachi noticed how the placement of the bed allowed the one occupying it to enjoy full view of the open sky. Moonlight washed over the entire porch… giving it a dreamlike appearance. His mind felt at peace.
Beside him… the younger Uchiha drank in the sight of his older brother… with hopeless longing burning in his eyes…
Gorgeous.
That is the only word I can come up with right now.
I notice the way you move around the bed… trying to find a comfortable place… and finally settle down beside me. We sit in silence… resting our back against the headboard and stretching our legs on the soft surface. I look in front of us… where our feet rest beside each other’s… my legs just slightly longer than yours.
My eyes trail upward… savoring every inch of you… only stopping here and there to admire the flawless perfection. I run my gaze along the long and slender neck… watching the Adam’s apple move as you gulp. It takes every bit of my self control to stop myself from gripping your neck and biting the flesh.
Instead I force my eyes to move upward. They end up settling on your face. I waste no time to marvel at the beauty exposed in front of me. Your soft porcelain skin… giving an ethereal glow… your dreamy eyes… pulling me into them like smoldering blackholes… You seem too good to be true…
And then… my eyes fall on your lips. Those smooth and supple lips… inviting me with all their sinful glory. I find myself wondering if they feel as soft as they look. I want to taste them… will they taste as good as in my dreams… or better? I can feel your gaze on me as I study those pliable organs. And suddenly… without warning… they part slightly… a pink tongue darts out for a split second and licks the lips I so badly want to savor right now. I am transfixed. On that very moment, all my rationality snaps shut… and my body starts moving on its own.
My gaze locks with yours as my hand reached out and takes hold of your cheek. My face inches closer… until I find your breath ghosting over my face. Still, your eyes betray no emotion. I know it’s a bad idea… but my mind is in no condition to process that thought right now. So I let my body act on instinct. I find myself angling my head slightly… breathing in your scent… then descend upon the lips I’ve starved for so long.
Shiver runs through my body the moment our lips meet. I hold your jaw pulling you closer… and you don’t seem to protest. I press my lips to yours again and again… molding them along the shape of yours. Your breath tickles my skin… turning me on more and more every second. I run my tongue along your lower lip… tasting you… savoring you. Yet… you remain motionless. That’s when my rationality starts kicking in. I look into your eyes… they are wide with disbelief. It makes me cringe. I realize what I’m doing… the truth knocking me hard. And I back away immediately.
I forced myself… on you!
I want to turn around and get out of here… but I can’t seem to look away from your gaze…
And so I sit there… ashamed and terrified… unable to move…
I’ve broken my promise… I’ve dragged you to my hell…
I have…
“…defiled…m-my angel…”
A/N: Things are heating up! ;) How will Itachi react to this? We can guess already! XD
