Summary: Sasuke has finally, dispatched his brother from the world, but even in death Itachi tortures him.
Sneak Peek
In a evening light, in a forest clearing that had been reduce to rubble due to the enormous amount of chakra that had been unleashed. The soon to be last Uchiha pulled his bloody hand from the depths of his brother's chest. Uchiha Sasuke retracted the power of his chidori, as his brother fell to the ground beneath him. He stood triumphantly over Itachi, who was dying.
Sasuke took no pleasure and killing Itachi. Although Itachi did everything to hurt him, he knew their parent's wouldn't approve.
Itachi smirked at his brother, and laughed.
"You laugh in the face of death?" Sasuke asked
"No it's just funny that, you actually think… you won." Itachi gasped as he began to choke on his own blood.
Sasuke eyes narrowed. "You're delirious." He simply stated
"Am I." Itachi smirked even more. "No little brother it's not over, I'll live on. My very essence will haunt you,…" Itachi took another gasp of air as blood spewed forth, from his moth. "I'll haunt you until death claims you."
"I want even think of you, after this moment." Sasuke spat venomously. Itachi closed his eyes thinking of the surprise he left Sasuke. "No…you are quite certain to think about me, witheach passing day you have left."
Sasuke kneeled down, picking Itachi up by his tattered mesh shirt. "What are you talking about?"
Sasuke was worried a bit, Itachi seemed so sure of himself. Itachi raised a bloody hand to Sasuke cheek, and caressed it. "You'll…find…out my foolish little…brother." Itachi gurgled his final breath.
Itachi's hand fell, and Sasuke looked back into his eyes. The sun had set over the horizon as the light of his brother's mangekyou sharingan extinguished forever.
Finally, it was done. The task he started out on years ago, was finally finished. Sasuke prayed that whatever demon held on to his brother's soulwere dead as well.
"Rest in Peace my brother." He also prayed that his own demons would settle in his troubled soul, now that the source of his internal anguish was now gone.
Sasuke felt chakra signals getting closer. It was no doubt, a Konoha ANBU hunter-nin squad. "It looks like I'll be joining you soon enough."
His chakra was depleted, andhe knew if he run they would catch him. If he fought he would lose. He had very little honor left in him, and he'd die without it, just as his brother had moments ago. At least he had gained some respect for himself, when he ridded the world of two evils, and that was something he could be proud of. So he waited for his end to come.
An ANBU squad of twenty surrounded the area. The ANBU squad knew they missed one hell of a fight, by surveying the area. The captain of the squad stepped up to Sasuke. Sasuke bowed his head for the killing stroke of the man's katana, but it never came instead he was being arrested.
"Uchiha Sasuke under the order of the Godaime Hokage, you are to be escorted back to Konoha, to stand trial for your treason. You will either come willingly or extreme force will be used. It's your decision." The captain said drawing his katana.
Sasuke knew it wasn't going to be that easy, just to kill him. He did have things to own up to. He owed it to these, who cared enough to try to stop him, in his quest for vengence. He wouldn't deny them of his punishment. Sasuke got up from where he was sitting and grabbed the black and red Akatsuki cloak. He wrapped his brother's body. He would have him buried in the Uchiha mausoleum with the rest of his family. He picked up the body and hoisted over his shoulder. "Lead the way." he told the Captain.
It took the two nights, to reach Konoha. He was thankful it was late, and no one was around to see him being taken in. He wished not to hear the jeers of the citizens. They knew nothing of a shinobi's life, they could never understand, his reasoning, only other shinobi could.
The ANBU squad alerted the Hokage ahead of time of their, arrival so she was awoke, and sober by the time they reached her office. They all entered, and Sasuke was surprised to see his former sensei in attendance.
Kakashi saw his former pupil, and the body he carried, it was no doubt it was Itachi. 'He finally, did it. He did what other thought to be impossiable.'
Yet Kakashi found himself, wishing the jutsu that Orochimaru used so often to resurrect others, wasn't forbidden now. He would use it and kill Itachi several times over. His fist tightened at the thought, as he listened as the Hokage spoke.
"Sasuke you know what you are charged with no need to go through it again, and its late. As of now you are to be confined to a prison cell. Until further notice your chakra highways will be sealed, and pending on your trial they may remain closed." Lady Tsunade looked at the body thrown over Sasuke's shoulder. "The body, you may leave it here."
Sasuke started to protest but was cut off. "I will see that his body reaches your family mausoleum, in one piece." Tsunade said
Sasuke didn't want to, leave his brother's body. He was responsible for it, after all he was the last clan member. He was also afraid others would mutilate it, but he merely nodded to the Hokage's orders. So he laid the body down in front of her desk. Sasuke was lead away to one of the prisons, to where one of the Hyuuga's would stop the flow of his chakra
Lady Tsunade sat in her seat, and sighed. "Don't even think about it Hatake."
Kakashi had made his way over to the fallen Uchiha, once Sasuke was out of sight. He glared at Tsunade. "There's nothing you can do Kakashi, he's gone."
Kakashi turned his eyes to the ground. "You beating on a corpse, want help nobody, nor will it change the situation." She told him.
Kakashi tighten his fist to try to keep his anger in check. "Kakashi I know how you feel, you don't think I felt it. I know seeing this bastard here tonight, opened wounds that have not healed probably never will."
Tsunade wanted to on many days, to leave Konoha, become a missing-nin, and introduce Itachi to her fist, but she knew she couldn't. Jiraiya held her back, when she tried.
"Kakashi it's time to make a decision." Kakashi turned to Tsunade who was looking fierce as if she was to engage in a battle.
"Now that Sasuke is back, I now need to know are you willing to make a full commitment to our plan?"
Kakashi nodded his head. "I'll see this through 'til the end. It's for the best."
She nodded neither happy, nor angry at his answer. She turned her attention to the body in front of her. "I know this is asking a lot, but will you please take the body to the Uchiha mausoleum?" Kakashi sneered and hoisted Itachi over his shoulder.
"Oh and Kakashi, without incident." Kakashi didn't respond or give any indication that he heard her.
Kakashi reached the mausoleum and placed the body on a stone table. His eyes narrowed as he uncovered the body, looking on the face of the person he hated with all his might. Kakashi made a fist and tried to hold his own anger in check. He slammed his fist into the table missing Itachi's head, making a hole in the stone table. "You got off easy, you son of a bitch." He gritted through his teeth.
Leaving the dissertated district, he returned to his apartment. He opened the door to his spare room, and sat on the bed. He looked inon the young woman, laying in the bed. If there was one person in the world who didn't deserve the fate that was handed down to them, it was her. He moved one of the pink locks of hair that fell in her face, that looked worn.
"I'll take care of you. I'll take care of both of you." he whispered running his hand down her swollen belly.
