Lies:

"You're pathetic." Sasuke's eyes widened and the anger seemed to fade away. He just stared at Itachi limply. His brother continued, inwardly telling himself that this might not be the right thing to do, but the best thing to do. He was going to have to be really mean. Sasuke would have to hate him. "How pathetic. You're weak. Trying to kill yourself, how shameful a child from the mighty Uchiha can be. You don't even deserve to wear the symbol on your back."

"You don't have the guts to fight me, so you try and kill yourself. It doesn't take a genius to know how stupid you are. And you know why I saved you?" Sasuke's face was horrified and his fists were clenched, but not in rage this time, Itachi noted. He was upset, but not angry anymore. Was that good or bad? "Because I couldn't live with the shame of having my brother, an Uchiha, kill himself in desperation at the last minute. When the rest of the clan was dying bravely in battle, you die by your own hand."

"Why aren't you killing me now?" Sasuke yelled. "They probably think I'm a traitor now. Why don't you just kill me?"

"Oh now you're being brave," Itachi sneered. "You were willing to die by your hand, but what about at mine?" Terror colored his face and he looked like any minute he'd puke.

"But I won't. Maybe if I let you live, then you'll grow up and maybe you'll be stronger. Maybe you'll be as strong as me. Maybe you'll be a true shinobi. At least make sure you don't run away next time."

Those were the last words Sasuke would hear from Itachi for a while. In half a second Itachi was moving, and in the last half of the second, he was unconscious, a fist to his face, knocking him back on the cold floor and into the darkness. What he didn't know was that while he was unconscious, Itachi patted his hair gently. What he didn't know was the tears shed or the soft spoken words, "I'll see you later, little bro." He didn't feel his big brother's arms around him, holding him close, close enough to hear his heartbeat, or even know that Itachi left him near a hospital.

He just knew that when he woke up, the pain was there.

I know I know, really short, but I can't think of much to do with "Lies," not as much as for Truth. So sorry this ended shortly and abruptly.
