The Choice 2 (SasuSaku)

4

I go through a huge pile of files but don't find anything. I search in some drawers and they all open except one. It needs a key. I immediately look around and find the key under a frame he has on his desk. It's a picture of me when I was young, probably on the time my parents died. I sigh and hurry myself, opening the drawer that reveals a lot of papers. I start to read them all and so far they all have my name involved until one catches my eye. It's a letter. And it has my father's handwriting.

I don't even think twice and just put all those papers, including the letter, inside my backpack. I also find some papers about Itachi and take them as well, leaving the drawer empty. I lock the drawer again, putting the key on its place and take the wig, the glasses and the hat throwing them in the backpack. In the mean time I get a message from Sakura letting me know she's already in the car waiting for me. I dress a coat to cover my shirt and since there's no noise around, I unlock the door and open it slowly, looking around. The hallway is empty so I take my chance to get the hell out of there. Once I'm outside I run to my car and Sakura takes off.

Sakura

I'm talking to the guy but I know he's not paying any attention since he keeps his eyes on my breasts, making me extremely uncomfortable. Luckily Sasuke doesn't take long to get inside the building and when I notice he's nowhere to be found I say goodbye to guy but not before he gives me his phone number. I walk away and immediately rip the paper, rushing to Sasuke's car.

I wait for a couple of minutes, texting him in the mean time and when I least expect he's inside the car with a backpack full of papers.

"I see you got something." I say before taking off.

"Yeah, there's a lot of information about me and my family." He replies and I can feel his stare in me. "Thank you, Sakura. I couldn't have done this without you."

"I just did what I had to do." I show him a small smile as I drive to my house leaving the silence fill the car.

Sasuke

The rest of the travel is very quiet until we get to her house. We both get out of the car and I explain Sakura that I want to see all of this with my brother which she completely understands. I promise to call her after talking with him and then head home.

Once I arrive I see my brother sat on the couch watching a movie. He only looks at me when he hears the door being closed but I know he's not going to say anything. After all that was how our days had been. We would both walk around the house without pronouncing any word to each other. But somehow I have a feeling that everything is going to change.

"Hey, Itachi." I say as I sit next to him on the couch, putting the backpack on my lap. My eyes meet his face as he looks at me with a surprise expression. Well, I can't blame him.

"Hey..." Itachi simply says, turning his attention to me. "What's up?"

"Well, I have something to show you." I explain, taking the letter and showing it to him. "I found this in Madara's office next to other papers about you and me. It's a letter from dad."

"Are you serious?! Sasuke, did someone see you?" My older brother looks at me in panic as I put the rest of the papers on the coffee table.

"Don't worry, I went undercover and Sakura helped me. So nobody knows I was there." I shrug my shoulders, staring at him. "But about the letter... I haven't read it yet because I was hoping I could do it with you."

"Of course." He answers, trying to cover his smile. I could tell he's happy with me talking to him again so I give him a small smile as well.

"So let's see..." I take a deep breath before opening the letter. It wasn't big but seemed to have a lot of important information. "Dear Sasuke and Itachi, if you're reading this it means I'm dead." My eyes widen in shock. Did he really predicted his death? I decide to let my thoughts out of the way and keep reading. Both mine and Itachi's eyes are on the letter. "But don't worry, I'm going to explain everything to you. Well, it all started with your uncle Madara. He started to work at the Police Station long time before I did but somehow I got the chance to become the Chief, thanks to your grandfather. And knowing your uncle, he didn't get very happy about it since all he ever wanted was power and worked there for a longer time. So the only way for him to become the Chief was if me and your mother died since she could take place at the Station if I died. And, if that happened, he would become the Chief but that's not the main point here. Itachi, I want you to become Sasuke's legal tutor when you turn 18 because until then I want your grandfather to look after you two and I know you'll take good care of your little brother. And Sasuke, always listen to your brother, no matter what. Never get influenced with Madara, that's all I ask you. And don't worry, I believe you guys will be alright. Your mother and I love you two so much. Goodbye, mother and father." I finish reading as tears roll down my eyes and I can tell Itachi looks like me. Our parents died when I was 11 and Itachi was only 16, so it all makes sense now. "Itachi, can I ask you something?" I say as I clean my eyes.

"Sure." He looks at me, also cleaning his eyes.

"Why did Madara sent you away?"

"Because of that letter. You see, if dad wanted grandfather to be your tutor and then wanted me, with that letter Madara wouldn't stand a chance. That's why he sent me away for 3 years, right after our parents died and claimed that our grandfather wasn't very healthy. Madara forced me because he wanted to control everything." Itachi tries to remain calm. "But that's all going to change. With this letter and the rest of the papers, we can destroy him."

I nod, reading with him the rest of the papers. Although most of them are only about Itachi's transference and Madara becoming my legal tutor one catches my eye. It's about my travel to the U.S.. I immediately grab the piece of paper, examining it. This stupid son of a bitch wants me to go away at all cost but too bad for him. I'm not leaving.

"Itachi, what are we going to do now? Do you think this papers are enough to screw him?" I look at my older brother with hope on my eyes.

"Well, since we have a few members of the family working at the Police and also at the Court and none of them stands Madara then I guess we have what it takes to bring him down. So, all we have to do now is gather everyone as quick as possible and make up a plan to force Madara assume everything he did. Only that way he can be arrested." He explains before examining the papers again. "I'm going to call them right away, we can't wait much longer." And with that he stands up and heads to his room to make some calls. Finally everything is going to be alright.
