Chapter 11: My Promise

Itachi went to the address given by his grandfather but when he got there the house was already for sale, he spotted a man on the nearby house and walked up to him.

"Excuse me sir may I ask, were there people who lived there recently?" he pointed at the house.

"Yeah, they just moved away a couple of weeks ago."

"Could you possibly tell me where they might've moved?"

"I'm sorry, I have no information about where they are now."

"Oh," the raven whispered in a sad tone as he tried his best to smile. "Thank you sir."

"No problem," the man said as he head his way back to his house.

As the man walked away Itachi's smile diminished into a frown, he went back to his car and layed his head on the steering wheel. 'So he knew I was coming that's why they moved. Damn it! And I really thought I was gonna finally bring her back,' he thought as he recalled a memory with his sister.

᯽Flashback: 11 years ago᯽

A 5 year old girl and her 10 year old brother were at the playground. The older of the two was sitting on a swing as he peacefully watched over his little sister playing, but suddenly the girl tripped and fell down.

"Sasuko!" the young boy ran worriedly to his sister, "Are you okay?" he asked.

"It hurts nii-chan," the girl whimpered.

"Don't worry we'll take care of that up right away," he offered his back giving her a piggy back ride.

"I can walk you know."

The older raven chuckled as he walked closer to where their parents were.

"Thank you nii-chan," she ecstatically thanked him.

Itachi raised an eyebrow before he asked, "For what?"

"For being my nii-chan!" the girl grinned as a blush appeared on her face.

The boy smiled in response, "Just remember that I'll always be here to protect you and that I love you."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

Her grin grew bigger, "I love you too nii-san!"

A blush suddenly appeared on his face as the girl's charm got to him. 'As long as I'm still alive I will do my very best to protect you from any harm. Forgive if I myself hurted you, please understand that I only did that because it's for your own good,' he thought as he finally passes her to their mother, 'I just fear when the time comes that we won't be there for you anymore.'

᯽End of Flashback᯽

Itachi's mind kept repeating his promise over and over again and this made him more saddened, he kept cursing himself under his breath. He felt regretful for the despair he has brought to her sister for all those years of afflictively living with that horrid Orochimaru, he can't possibly imagine the disturbing things that creep has done to her knowing the sadist he really is. He took his phone out and contacted someone he didn't spoke to for a long time.

"Hello?"

"Hey, it's Itachi"

"Ah, Itachi it's been a while since you called and I wonder why."
