another Chance

....this dependence, and how easily sasuke let his  guards down in his presence....all of this made him crave more of this feeling of complete dependence and love, he felt how much he was wavering from his decesion, he felt guilty for what he had done and for the very first time felt regret, for the very first time he felt like he wanted to forget everything, forget every responsibility he had, forget about the safety of leaf village, there are others too to take care of the village, there's hokage, there's anbu and there's even that damned danzo, he could care less about everything, he just wanted to be willful for once, he wanted to be selfish, he wanted to be with his beloved little brother, show off his cuteness to others, wanted to brag about how smart and talented his little brother is and how proud he felt to be his (Sasuke) big brother.... he wanted to feel more of that adoration his little brother had alway showered him with, he wanted to make up for all those times he had to break the promises he made to his little brother, Itachi closed his eyes to stop those unshead tears from     leaking, he was tempted to once again use his sharingan and use that genjutsu on himself, although it would severely damage him, he just wanted to experience that illusion again, where he had made different choices from reality.... where his clan was still alive.... where shisui was still alive....where he was still living peacefully in konoha, with his family happily....
where his little brother and him were still so close and happy....
Itachi stopped his dangerous thoughts as he felt sasuke stirring, ' it seems he has finally decided to wake up?'  he thought as he regained control over his emotions, as he decided that it was enough and wanted to act, he was suddenly hugged, Itachi felt his breath hitching as he was hugged so suddenly and heard sasuke whisper in a soft and gentle voice in his ear " aniki doesn't have to do this alone... there's no need to shoulder this huge responsibility all by yourself....rely on me....lean on me....rest your head on my shoulder and share your burdens with me when you get tired .... I.... I can help you...aniki.... don't suffer silently like this anymore...." he seemed to comfort? Him(Itachi)?... Itachi was stunned as he heard sasuke's tired and drowsy voice in his ears, he even thought that he was hearing wrong but the pain from his palms as he dug his nails deeper, the warm breath of sasuke on ears and the loud beating of his own heart told him that he has not heard wrong nor was he hallucinating ....but...why would sasuke say that ....to him....what did he know? Come to think of it, what sasuke said in that forest near the border and how he acted that day, it was really weird.... how did he know about the whereabouts of akatsuki....even if he tracked him down because of That bite...how was he able to handle three akatsuki members like that, he was not saying that sasuke could not defeat them  or he was too weak to defeat them but as he observed he had noticed how it seemed as if sasuke already knew about Deidara and kisame's fighting style...what was it that sasuke knew?...how did he even know that information?....and.... how much did he Know?....

Sasuke was in a state of semiconciousness, he could feel the warmth from beside him, he knew there was no one other than him and his aniki in this temple, so he drew himself closer to the warmth and snuggled closer to his aniki, he slowly relaxed as he felt an immense sense of security after so long, he felt so safe that he was drifting in and out of conciousness, he couldn't help but remember what obito or ' tobi'  told him, he wanted to hear it from his aniki himself, as he was thinking about it he suddenly felt as if he was going to loose his aniki, he didn't know how or why he felt that, he just had this feeling, he didn't want to loose this hard to find sense of security again, he didn't want to loose this comfort and warmth, so he forced himself to getup and hold on tightly to the source of his security and warmth so he did, he pushed himself up and hugged Itachi, who he felt was going to leave him all alone again if he didn't do anything soon, as he successfully hugged his aniki he softly and gently whispered in a drowsy and tired voice  " aniki doesn't have to do this alone... there's no need to shoulder this huge responsibility all by yourself....rely on me....lean on me....rest your head on my shoulder and share your burdens with me when you get tired .... I.... I can help you...aniki.... don't suffer silently like this anymore...." 'So please don't leave alone again.... I beg you aniki don't abandon me again.....if you abandon me this time for that village....then I swear upon my uchiha clan that I will destroy that village and each and every person that you want to protect so much would suffer 100 times more than how much I am suffering....and then......the venom I have consumed would kill me ever so slowly as I go on living all alone consumed with never-ending hatred and vengeance.... ' he continued on in his mind not wanting his aniki to  know what will happen to his beloved village that he wanted to protect so much. He held onto Itachi tightly as he finally gave in to the darkness, letting it take over him and consume him into nothingness ....
