Ookay, weird.
Life is weird. Seriously. I was totally bored, so I typed down the Naruto names on the computer, like www.(narutocharactername).com to see what came up. I didn't type naruto.com because that would be the English Dub's Naruto official site, so...yeah.

Guess which one was www.itachi.com? something about ferrets...Sasuke was a forum about naruto, Sakura was something weird...I didn't get it...

Kiba was something about traveling and if you like Tales of Symphonia Kratos' was something about cars...

Most of them were in Japanese, though...I know a little.

~Here's my Fic!~

Chapter Three – The Talk –

“We need a place,” she said. “just for us. It would be so secret that we would never tell anyone in the whole world about it.”

~Bridge to Terabithia By Katherine Paterson


“Sasuke…do you hate me?”

Sasuke flinched at the inquiry. Itachi had been asking that to him a lot lately, but he usually doesn’t say anything, trying to hide the fact that he ultimately adored him and wanted to be like him…He knew that the good thing to do was to say, ‘of course not’ but when he tried, his mouth became so dry that not a single word was able to come out.

“Really, do you hate me?”

It was like he was begging me real answer, the real brotherly feeling that we have toward each other.

Sasuke looked away from his brother, attempting to be inconspicuous, but of course it wouldn’t work, seeing that it was only the two of them in the house.

“Sasuke…please answer me.”

Now he really is begging. What should I say? Should I answer or not?

“Sasuke…”

“Um…Nii-san…I…” Sasuke started to stutter when Itachi sighed. The young Uchiha began to wonder what was going on with his brother. The genius weasel had been acting very…peculiar lately.

“You really must think that I’m pathetic right now,” Itachi looked down upon his younger brother.

Sasuke vigorously shook his head. “You’re not pathetic…” the prodigious Uchiha stared down at him with disbelief. There was an awkward silence between the two brothers, but Itachi suddenly felt Sasuke hug him closely. “You’ll never be pathetic! You’re the best older brother any kid could as for! Why would I hate you?” Sasuke was shocked at what his mouth decided to blurt out. He never even thought of saying those words, but there he was, confessing his brotherly feelings toward him.

“Sasuke,” Itachi mumbled, pronouncing the ‘u’ in Sasuke even though it’s usually silent. The younger Uchiha looked up expectantly at his older brother, obviously asking for him to tell him something. That something was a total mystery to the both of them but Itachi sighed, saying, “A…Arigitou, Sasuke.

“Don’t thank me…It’s what brothers do,” Sasuke told him truthfully.

Itachi stared at him in another one of his blank expressions. This time, though, his face wasn’t completely blank. It seemed like he was utterly confused. “It’s what…brothers do…?” Sasuke heard him whisper to himself under his breath.

“Yeah!” the raven-haired boy insisted. “If you don’t believe me, take me for example. I don’t hate you.”

A sad expression ran across Itachi’s face, but it disappeared as quickly as it came. Sasuke was the one confused now – Itachi, his strong older brother, seemed to be having some sort of trouble with his emotions.

Maybe now, because I’m moving away he can’t keep his usual calm composure…

“I swear I will never ever hate you.” The words slipped right out of his mouth as if they were riding down a smooth, slippery slide. Sasuke wanted to clamp a hand over his mouth right then, and stop himself about ranting on about things that even he never really understood.

“You…swear?” Itachi said so inaudibly that the young Uchiha had to lean closer to him to hear him. Itachi wasn’t acting like himself anymore – nor did Sasuke think that he was ever going to.

“I swear,” Sasuke promised, again his body moving on its own accord. Why the hell was he cursed with a body that could move on its own but will never be able to accomplish things that he wanted to do?

For the first time in a while a smile came to his older brother’s face.

“Just…” Sasuke continued, finally regaining control of his rebellious muscles and bones. “Promise me that you’ll never leave me.”

That was what he really needed the most.

“Alright. I promise,” Itachi said those words after some hesitance, but Sasuke was glad that he was able to get the words out…Usually Itachi wouldn’t lose to such emotions like these – promising wasn’t really his forte, especially since he frequently broke it. Chalk one up for a weakness of Uchiha Itachi. But, since Itachi regularly broke his promises, Sasuke had a feeling that he wouldn’t be able to keep this one for long.

But the young, raven-haired boy had faith in his prodigious older brother.

Sasuke hugged Itachi feeling that warmth again.

Does Nii-san even know…that he feels so warm?

Usually, Mikoto was the only one that had that warm feeling to her, but she lost it; making it seem like it was transferred to Itachi. Sasuke believed that it belonged to him.

“Nii-san…” Sasuke said after a long moment. Itachi didn’t say anything, but he just went on. “You do know…that you feel really warm.”

“W-what does that mean?” Itachi muttered, again not understanding. Chalk another one up for the weaknesses of Uchiha Itachi.

“You know…what I believe…” Sasuke was hesitant for a reason. He wasn’t very comfortable when he was alone with his older brother, especially now of all times. When he was alone…with his brother…and confessing everything. “…when someone is warm to me…that means that…they really…love me.”

There was a long, totally uncomfortable silence after Sasuke’s explanation. It didn’t make sense to the older Uchiha, nor did it make sense to the one that spoke it. Still, Sasuke said it through his own will, and that…frightened the older, extraordinary, brother.

“Sasuke…” Itachi brought up all the strength in his heart to break the unbearable hush. “You know…when I asked if you hated me, and when you didn’t say anything, I was…afraid that you hated me. So I kept asking, hoping that you would say something different.”

“Now you know that…I can never hate you,” Sasuke told him gently. Itachi seemed to relax right then, and Sasuke did, too. “We’ve really got to stop acting like this around each other,” Sasuke confessed, chuckling.

“Y-Yeah,” Itachi still uneasy.

“But, Nii-san.”

“Hm?”

“You asked me a hard question, now it’s my turn,” Sasuke said timidly. Itachi now looked intent on the question, though sparks of nervousness were spread across his common expressionless face. “I said that you really…” Sasuke hesitated again, hating to say the word love again. “…cared for me. Now I ask if that is true.”

It was Itachi’s turn to act ultra nervous. It seemed like a first for his older brother (Chalk another one up for Uchiha Itachi’s now three weaknesses). “Please answer me. I answered you, so it’s only far.”

No, it isn’t. It wasn’t fair for me to ask you in the first place, anyway,

Itachi’s rebellious thoughts.

It’s not fair. Your inquiry is much harder than mine.

Really, just answer! I brought up the guts, can’t you?

Sasuke’s rebellious thoughts.

It really isn’t fair! All you have to say is yes, or no! It’s LOVE I thought you understood everything!

Both of them are in complete thought.

“Sasuke,” Itachi spoke up. Sasuke attentively listened. “I…”

I ended it that way, so I have to be fair right now. Meh....

And if you wanted to know, Itachi's blood type is AB. ^/.\^

My sister is watching Zabuza vs. Kakashi. It's weird...

Ah, well. I didn't do anything in school today, and there was nothing, yesterday. In shinobi legends I got married just recently. I'll tell you who tomorrow. I'm just adding a little suspense to my sister!!! Unless she reads the news...

I'm officially starting my report...I think. The noise of the TV blazing Naruto is distracting me. Man...

Oh well, see you around!!!

FOOFY!!! Foofy gone...
