Pale fingers press against the tape of a long box, gently stroking the bind.
"Itachi," Mikoto sighs, a new wave of sorrow hitting her. "If only you were still here."
Instinctively, her nails dig underneath the tape. It sticks to her fingers as she tugs.
Two weeks passed, and no one has seen Sasuke. She's desperate to see at least one of her sons again.
Before she can rip off the adhesive, Fugaku grabs her and pulls her arm away.
"Stop this," he says. The tears welling up in Mikoto's eyes don't faze him. "Your obsession with this thing is getting out of hand."
The tears don't fall from her eyes, and instead, she grinds her teeth together.
"Sasuke is gone," her voice wavers as her whole body shakes. "Itachi is dead, and now, this Itachi is gone too. Let me grieve!"
Mikoto rips the tape off, and Itachi falls out against her arm. He's cold against her skin, causing her arm hairs to stand at attention. His eyes are closed, and although he's an Android, his skin looks pale.
Fugaku yanks her back against him, allowing the humaniod hunk of plastic fall to the floor with a loud thunk.
Out of anger, Fugaku pushes Mikoto to the floor. "If you continue this nonsense, I'll hack him to pieces and sell him as scrap metal!"
"No!" She cries, crawling in front of Itachi to protect It. "Don't do that to him!"
She presses a hand against It's face, feeling the cold run through her arm. "He looks so much like him. You'd do that to our son?"
Anger is the only thing Fugaku feels.
She picks that thing over me?! Fugaku grabs Mikoto's upper arm and drags her to the living room. She struggles and pulls against him, the sight of Itachi leaving her vision.
"No. No!"
"I am tired of this!" Fugaku yells, pushing her to the floor. He didn't want to harm It either. He was bluffing when he said he'd hack the Android to pieces. For what it's worth, he loved Itachi the most. "I'm going to sell him."
"No!" She screams. "Sasuke will never come back if you do that!"
That's not what she's worried about. Mikoto doesn't want to be alone with her husband. He's awful and sometimes she wished that she left him when Sasuke was born.
"I've already decided. It's going back into the box and I'm selling him."
Mikoto grabs Fugaku's ankle, the tears from earlier now falling to the floor, one by one. "Fugaku, if you loved me you won't do this."
"I'm doing this because I love you."
He shakes his ankle free and walks to the door.
"I don't want to be alone with you!" Mikoto wails, slamming her fist against the ground. "I hate you! I hate you!"
For a moment he freezes and takes a breath of air. From where he stands he sees Itachi lying in the floor, eyes open and blank. That thing scares him beyond imagination.
He has to get rid of it.
That thing tried to kill him, so he has to get rid of it.
...
When Fugaku's henchmen arrive, Mikoto's screaming died down. He had to lock her away for this moment, or else she'd fight tooth and nail for Itachi; literally.
He can get over Itachi easily, unlike his wife. But he cannot handle the hate he'll receive once this exchange ends.
Fugaku hands the men some money. "I don't care where he- It goes. When you sell 'em, you can keep the money."
"Uh, sir, where would you like It to go?" One of the men asks, while the other two carry the box to a van.
"I don't care. Go door to door if you have to."
Mikoto hears the door slams, and knows the deal is done. She screams her lungs out, making sure her husband knows how much she despises him.
Her son, officially gone. She'll never get him back, and that hurts the most.
...
A black van barrels down a residential street, ignoring the speed limit sign. The men tried six houses already but could not sell the damn thing.
"Hey!" One of them yells in the back. "Slow down! If we break this thing, we'll never sell it! Then Mr. Uchiha will kill us!"
"Alright alright."
The van halts, stopping in front of a small, burgundy house. It sits between two larger houses and all three men state at it.
"Should we try that one?"
They see a woman walking around in a white robe pass the front window.
"Yeah, that's the one."
