Chapter One(Teaser)
Uchiha Sasuke came on private helicopter that landed on the roof of the Uchiha mansion.
He got down and held his hat to his head so the wind wouldn't blow it away as he hurried out from the range of the copter.
He was greeted by the butler Mr Kakashi who bowed and retrieved his coat.
"Welcome Home Sasuke-sama" he greeted.
Sasuke nodded.
"Where are my parents" he asked even as he started for the lift that would take him down.
"Your father is away on business and your mother is taking her afternoon nap" Kakashi explained as he joined Sasuke and pushed the button that would take them both to the second floor .
"I suppose i would have to wait for her to wake up before i greet her then"
they arrived at the second floor which opened to a long hallway with lit lamps on the walls and red rug with doors on various sides left and right. There was a window at the end with green drapes that was drawn to let in light and from there was the stairs.
Kakashi opened the door by his right and waited for Sasuke to enter before shutting it behind them.
He placed Sasuke's coat in the rack while Sasuke retreated into his room.
The entire room had three parts. The living room, the bedroom and the study. There was a french door by Kakashi's left that led to the balcony. Kakashi pulled the drapes aside and pulled the doors opened allowing air and light into the room.
There was some noise of movement from the bedroom then Sasuke appeared having changed into a blue t-shirt with black jean. He looked up surprised to see Kakashi still there.
"Is there anything else you would need Sasuke-sama"Kakashi asked.
"No Kakashi i would just like to be left alone only to be disturbed when Mother wakes."
"Very well, i will leave you to rest."With this Kakashi exited the room.
Sasuke settled into the brown hand chair and turned on his plasma tv, there was a show going on so he settled down to watch.
Funny how easy it was to settle back into his position in this family despite being away for eight months now, he thought.
* * *
Mikoto Uchiha was a beautiful woman of thirty eight years old but she looked twenty three with long black hair and wide black eyes that gave her that gave her an innocent look. Her body was a total knock off and when she sat under an sunshade with her nineteen year old son people thought he was her boyfriend or brother.
Sasuke smiled at his mother unsuprised by the lack of change she had under gone since he last saw her.
"Good evening mother, you look well" he said as he kissed her pale cheeks.
She smiled and embraced him.
"Sasuke you look well, london seems to be doing well for you" she said.
"i guess." Sasuke shrugged dismissing it.
"You should have told me you were coming so i would have had maids prepare your favourite"
" I thought i would surprise you and dad"
"And what a lovely suprise, to top it off your brother is coming as well"
"Really" he asked taking a sip from his tea to hide his smile.
"I thought he had sworn off coming back to japan" he asked
Mikoto smiled
"I knew he would have to come back sometime, what happened the last time left quite a mark on him but i knew he couldn't stay that long away from his family"
"So he is coming back because he misses us?"Sasuke asked with a smile.
"He didn't say so, just that he wanted to introduce someone to us but i'm guessing that's just an excuse" Mikoto said with a laugh.
"Who did he say he wanted us to meet"Sasuke asked.
"I'm not sure he didn't say. " Mikoto frowned and thought.
"Whoever this person is must be important for Itachi to want to introduce them to us, itachi has always been a private person and he usually didn't have many friends"
Sasuke snorted
"Aniki never had any friend mother he was a loner remember" he said
"Stop it Sasuke don't say that. Listen i know you don't get along well with your brother but please be on your best behaviour tonight okay." Mikoto chided
Sasuke shrugged but kept quiet.
It was true that his brother had always been a loner much unlike Sasuke himself who though would rather have few friends had more than he could deal with. It was sad actually because due to this differences the two brothers had found it difficult to get along because any friend Itachi made would end up wanting to be Sasuke's friend just like what happened the last time.
They soon dropped the topic and Mikoto asked Sasuke to tell him more about london and his studies and life in Oxford.
A maid came to them and bowed respectfully gaining their attention.
"Mikoto-sama, i have come to inform you that Itachi-sama has arrived" she said head still bowed.
A gasp of pleasure came from Mikoto and an indifferent look from Sasuke.
"Where is he" she asked getting up gracefully from her chair.
"In the loungeroom ma'm " the maid replied
Mikoto started for that direction almost forgetting about Sasuke.
She turned to see him still seated sipping from his tea. Sasuke raised a black eyebrow.
"aren't you coming" Mikoto asked a resign tone in her voice.
Perhaps she has accepted that the two brothers would never look eye to eye.
"I'm right behind you mother don't worry" Sasuke replied.
Mikoto nodded her excitement brought down a peg. She soon left and exited the garden.
Sasuke stared from the balcony at his brother who he had not seen for almost three years. Itachi was embracing his mother and kissing her cheeks as he was welcomed by his mother almost near tears, but that was not the sight that interested Sasuke it was the pink haired woman standing a few feet from Itachi. She had perfectly round face and big green eyes. She was also small in stature not someone he could see his brother being interested in. Her head was lowered in false modesty Sasuke suspected.
He watched as Itachi introduced her to their mother, there was a look that came over her Face when it fell on the pink haired woman.
They talked for a while then Mother smiled and embrace the girl seeming pleased, Sasuke frowned. Who was she to Itachi, a friend? A girlfriend?
The three left the loungeroom and entered the main living room with the maids taking their belongings up the lift.
Sasuke retreated from there to his room where he waited for information from his spy. Yes that may seem crude and inappropriate but Sasuke found from a long time that a spy was necessary in this house, if he hadn't had a spy he never would have found out something about some of his supposed friends.
There was a knock on the door and a fair skinned boy with eyes as dark as his and face expressionless more than his came in. He was wearing the normal maid outfit, he bowed until Sasuke waved for him to raise his head.
"So what do you have for me Sai" he asked.
Sai nodded and stepped more into the room.
"Itachi-sama has returned from his long stay in spain and with him is a woman he introduced as his fiancee her- "
"What! Fiancee? Not his girlfriend but fiancee?" Sasuke interrupted standing abruptly.
Sai looked on before nodding
"Yes, that is what he introduced her to be" he said.
"Who is she" Sasuke asked
"I haven't done a thorough background check but her name is Harano Sakura" Sai replied.
"She is japanese?"
"Her name implies that she is but a thorough check would confirm"
Sasuke frowned, he would have never thought his brother capable of coming this far on his own. It may not look it but his older brother was a very shy person and for him to have a girlfriend and then plan to marry her was very suprising. Has Itachi changed? Is that why he looked so different just now.
"Very well, you may do so and return with the result" He said to Sai.
Sai nodded and bowed then left the room.
* * *
Sasuke looked from the shadow as his father embraced Itachi and then laughed happily, his precious son was home at last so all was right with the world again. Sasuke snarled.
"It's so wonderful to have you home Itachi after so long, i almost came looking for you during those years but Mikoto said you needed your space" Fugaku said one hand over his son's shoulder as they strolled towards where Sasuke was standing. They couldn't see him due to the darkness surrounding him.
Sakura Harano was talking quietly with mother a few step behind the father and son.
"Of course, if you had gone after him you would have drove him further away at least he wrote us letters" Mikoto interrupted
"It was still hard having my child away from me" Fugaku grumbled
"worst when Sasuke decided to play rebellion. He left for college and hardly came home"
"But they are both home now aren't they instead of complaining be happy" Mikoto replied with cheer.
Itachi stopped abruptly and looked back at his mother
Sasuke enjoyed the look of forced calm on his brother's face
"Sasuke is home" he asked.
Mikoto nodded
"why didn't you say anything"Itachi said he was clearly annoyed even as he kept his face blank.
Mikoto also knew since a solemn look came on her face.
"It must have slipped my mind, i was so excited to see you and meet your fiancee i must have forgotten" she said quietly.
"I meant before i came here" Itachi said a frown now on his face even his fiancee looked worried now.
Sasuke couldn't help smiling.
Afraid of me Aniki, he asked in his mind.
Fugaku pulled Itachi closer making him look away from his mother.
"No need to get angry Sasuke suprised even myself i'm sure your mother had no idea he would be coming " Fugaku said
Sasuke's smile vanished.
You would prefer me not to be her wouldn't you father' afraid of what i would do to your precious son aren't you, he thought glaring at his old man.
"Why are you so upset anyway Itachi, he is your brother you two should learn to get along for once" From Mikoto's tone of voice everyone could see she was angry.
"I know you both have your differences but a brother is a brother period. You should stop trying to avoid each other and forgive each other for once!"
She is really mad now, Sasuke thought.
"Sorry mother, i didn't mean to upset you i was just caught off guard but now that i know it's okay, besides i knew that this would happen and i can not runaway from my family" Itachi said looking warmly at her.
Mikoto's eyes brightened
"So you will try to get along now" she asked.
Itachi paused for a while then nodded and recieved an embrace and a proud smile from both parents.
"Are you sure you can keep that promise" Sasuke thought with his smile coming back on as he stepped out from the darkness and walked towards his family. I have a lot to dish out are your sure you can take it all Aniki.........
