Rebirth

Chapter 2

Crystal Clear

 

 

Sasuke came running into the house almost tripping over his shoes as he kicked them off. He had know since this morning that it was one of Itachi's only days off this week and he was dying to spend some time with the older Uchiha. It wasn't very often that he got to see his nii-san now days, him being an ANBU captain and the clan demanding so much of his time. So on his days off Sasuke made a point to chase after his older brother so that they could be together.

 

He came skidding into the kitchen to see his mother preparing dinner. He didn't see Itachi though. He turned on his heel and headed toward the bedrooms, coming to stop in front of Itachi's door. He knocked firmly and tried to wait patently. When he got no response, he pushed open the door and stuck his head in. He was more then a little disappointed to see that his brother wasn't there. He ran back into the kitchen, where his mother turned to look at him with a look of confusion.

 

“What's all the ruckus about Sasuke?” She answered in her soft sweet-coated voice.

 

“Isn't it aniki's day off?” Sasuke asked trying not to sound too dejected.

 

His mother didn't get a chance to reply, because the front door opened and Sasuke was full sprinting toward the entryway. His brother was slipping off his last shoe and coming back to his full height. Dark eyes taking in the young boy that stood in front of him with a beautiful smile on his face. Sasuke fidgeted under the dark stare and felt a blush filter across his cheeks as he looked shyly down at his feet.

 

“Aniki, can we go practice today?” Sasuke mumbled, but knew his brother had heard him.

 

“Sure, let's do it before dinner.”

 

Sasuke felt like his heart was going to explode with overwhelming joy. It was a rare occasion that Itachi would agree to take him to practice. He couldn't believe his luck and he couldn't stop his actions. The smile split along his face, so big to the point it hurt and he was launching his little body into his brother's strong arms.

 

 

I really can't explain it

The way you make me feel

Try hard to contain it

But I can not conceal

 

 

Itachi handed him four kunai and stepped back. He held his breath as he concentrated. He had been working on this move every since he had seen Itachi perform it the last time they had practiced together. He wanted to impress his nii-san so bad. He wanted Itachi to be proud of him and in order to do that he needed to show that his older brother's efforts were not being wasted when it came to teaching him.

 

He let the breath out that he was holding and jumped into the air. He wasn't using all the kunai that Itachi usually used, but that was because his brother said it was too much for him to handle starting out. He, of course, made a fuss about it but one look from his brother had shut him up real quick. He let the first two kunai go, one from each of his hands and then the last two. They struck the first two and all four went off in different directions. He spun in the air and landed solidly on his feet. His head snapped up and he took in the targets. He had nailed every one of them dead on.

 

He jumped up and turned to face Itachi, so excited that he had finally got it. His brother took in the targets with a blank face and Sasuke slowly felt his excitement melting away, his heart starting to crack. He replayed his move in his head trying to figure out what he had done wrong to not get Itachi's praise. He was convinced that he had done every thing the way the older Uchiha had described, so why?

 

“Very good.” Itachi's deep voice rang in his ears and vibrated through his body.

 

Itachi had praised him! He had done everything correctly! He couldn't help the smile that lit up his face like a Christmas tree and he felt his heart flutter in his chest. He let out a loud cry of joy as he ran toward the targets to collect the kunai. He would do it again; if it met that, his nii-san's eyes would be watching him and praising him. Sasuke felt a catch in his breath as a warm fuzzy feeling spread through out his belly.

 

 

The things you do to me

I'm crystal clear

You see right through me

I'm crystal clear

 

 

“Enough Sasuke. Dinner is probably done.” Sasuke gave a pout at Itachi's words, but obeyed.

 

This was the worst part of spending time with Itachi was when it was time to go back. Sasuke never knew when the next time would be when he actually got to spend some more quality time with his nii-san and it hurt to think about it. All he wanted was to be surrounded by Itachi; his brother was always filtering into his dreams at night. All Sasuke ever thought about was Itachi.

 

He dragged his feet the whole way home not being able to help it. He was so depressed now and didn't want to go back. Why could he and Itachi spend the rest of their lives lost in the forest together? He knew he was being childish, but he held high the excuse that is was because he was a child. Itachi never treated him that way though. Even though out of everyone in the clan Itachi was the least attainable, Itachi always treated him as a human, almost as an equal. Even though Sasuke knew better. Itachi was so out of his league and Sasuke would forever be staring at his brother's back that was so close yet so far away.

 

Itachi suddenly stopped in front of him and turned to face him. Sasuke looked at him questioningly as he raised a small eyebrow. A small smile spread on his nii-san's gorgeous lips making Sasuke's heart skip a beat then sped up. Itachi motioned him forward with a flick of his hand. A smile of his own spread on his lips as he ran toward the only person that meant the world to him.

 

“Forgive me Sasuke. Another time.” Itachi's fingers dug lightly into the flesh of his forehead as the words were spoken.

 

Sasuke frowned as he pulled away to rub at his flesh glaring at his brother in the process. He absolutely hated when Itachi did that to him, but it was always followed by the tender look in the older one's eyes and the smile that softened the corner of his mouth, so Sasuke decided that he would deal with the torture if only to prolong that rare look on Itachi's face.

 

 

 

I dream about your voice at night

I dwell upon your smile

I replay all the things you say

Your words that go for miles.

 

 

Sasuke's dreams were getting more intense each passing night and Itachi's attitude toward him was changing. This confused Sasuke greatly. His brother seemed a lot more distant toward everyone and it was growing within them too. He remembered last night when he had caught Itachi coming home late. It was startling to say the least.

 

His brother was limping and he was keeping to the shadows. Sasuke had run to his side to see if he was okay. Itachi had pushed him away and continued on his way to his room without saying a word. Sasuke once again tried to help him, but was thrown backwards landing hard on the wood when the back of Itachi's bloody hand had struck his cheek. He put his fingers to his burning flesh as he stared at his brother with wide eyes, trying to process just what the hell had happened.

 

“Go to bed Sasuke.” Itachi's dead pan voice ordered making Sasuke shake in fear.

 

Itachi had never struck out at him like that in his whole life. What had happened to Itachi to make him lash out so violently? It was so unlike his nii-san and it scared Sasuke just thinking about that night. He curled further into his warm blankets as he pushed the bad memories away and tried to remember when his brother had always been loving and compassionate toward him. All he knew was something was changing in his aniki and he didn't like the change at all.

 

 

Oh you're so confusing

I'm crystal clear

Oh blood and bruising

I'm crystal clear

 

 

Sasuke came home from school early and walked through his silent house. No body was home this afternoon and he found that he was happy about that. It was rare that he actually got the house to himself and he prided that time alone. He found that his thoughts had been turning toward the negative as his brother grew even more distant from the family.

 

As he got closer to his room, he stopped short hearing a faint noise coming from his nii-san's room. He swallowed hard as he lightly knocked on the door. The noise stopped, followed by a long pause before the door was slid open to expose Itachi. Sasuke's eyes took in the expansion of his older brother's shirtless chest. The flesh was flawless making him want to reach out and touch the skin that he knew would be warm. He let his eyes fall down to the washboard stomach and he felt his body tighten. He had known for a while now that he thought of Itachi more then just a brotherly fashion, but he would be damned if he every admitted his obsession out loud. Yes, Itachi was his unhealthy obsession.

 

“Otouto!” Itachi's hard voice broke him out of his trance and he snapped his gaze up to see a evil look filter into his aniki's dark eyes. “You wanted something?” He asked with a knowing tone, which caused a blush to form on Sasuke's pale cheeks.

 

“Where are mom and dad?” He whispered as he shifted uncomfortably.

 

“They went out for the evening.”

 

“Oh.” There was a long pause then Itachi walked away.

 

He left the door open and Sasuke saw that as an invitation to come in. So he made his way over to his brother's bed and climbed onto it. His gaze followed Itachi's every more. He just about died of mass nosebleed when his brother leaned onto the floor pumping out fifty push ups easily. His eyes watching as the muscles moved under the tight flesh and his imagination getting the better of him as he envisioned himself lying under his nii-san. That beautiful long black hair falling around their faces as Itachi leaned down to take his trembling lips in a long awaited kiss.

 

He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't hear Itachi call his name. Only did he come back to reality, when he felt his brother's strong callused hand lay lightly on his thigh to get his attention. He jumped letting out a chocked cry. His big dark frightened eyes shot up to his older brother's handsome face as he turned beat red. He could feel his cock pulsing just underneath the fabric of his pants and he didn't think twice before he jumped off the bed, slamming into Itachi in the process.

 

Itachi looked startled and tried to sturdy him, but he pushed his hands off as he ran like a cowardly girl from his older brother's room and straight for his own, making sure to lock the door as it closed behind him. He leaned against it panting hard as his eyes closed against the reality of just what happened.

 

He sank down to the floor and quickly undid his pants, shoving his hand inside to wrap tightly around his throbbing erection. For the first time ever he was going to masturbate and it was going to be to his brother. He let out a soft moan as he started to move his hand up and down the hard length as his other hand pulled his pants further down so that he could easily cup his tense balls. He tilted his head up to the ceiling as he sped his hand faster along the hot flesh. He felt the pressure building at the base of his spine as he imagined his nii-san's hands all over his supple body. With one more firm stroke of his hand, slight squeeze to his sack, he was coming hard and whispering `Itachi' as cum streamed out of his cock, ruining his shirt.

 

 

When I get you all alone

I go to pieces

When I get you all alone

I go to pieces

I'm crystal clear

I'm crystal clear

 

 

Sasuke had woken up late the following morning and leisurely made his way out to the kitchen. His father and mother were at the table for breakfast, talking softly. He glanced back down the hall and saw the his nii-san's door was partially open but were was Itachi? He turned to face his parents again.

 

“Where's aniki?” He asked trying to hide the concern and panic from his voice.

 

“He just left. He's heading to the Hokage's for a mission.” Sasuke barely heard the last part of the statement as he was already sprinting down the hall and running outside not bothering with his shoes.

 

He couldn't understand this feeling rising in his chest but it was almost crucial that he found his older brother before he left to go on this mission. He had to tell his brother just how much he meant to him. If he didn't he felt like he would never get the chance.

 

He had just entered outside the Uchiha clan gate when he saw Itachi's back disappearing further into the small forest that lead straight to the village main gate. Sasuke felt his heart skip a beat as his brother seemed to stop and turn to face him as if he sensed him coming. Sasuke could stop himself from shouting Itachi's name as he got closer.

 

He remembered his brother's eyes growing slightly larger as Itachi realized he wasn't going to slow down. Sasuke launched himself against his brother's chest, wrapping his arms around the older one's neck and securing his legs firmly around Itachi's waist. There was a grunt on impact from the older man, but he said nothing to scold Sasuke or he didn't give Itachi a chance, one of the two.

 

 

I walk to any place you go

Search you high and low

I know this is one big get away

And it's always so

 

 

“I love you aniki.” Sasuke said into his brother's collar so the words were muffled.

 

He knew he was blushing horribly and he prayed to god that Itachi hadn't heard the words that were just spoken into the quiet forest, but he knew the older man had just by the way the body stiffened against him. He buried his face even further into his brother's neck in fear that Itachi would push him off.

 

Itachi wasn't the kind of person to get too physical no matter how much he wanted it. Itachi always kept to himself and the most affection he every got for him nii-san was a pat on the head or a poke to the forehead. So you can imagine his surprise when Itachi actually hugged him back. A deep chuckle rumbled up from Itachi's chest.

 

“Foolish otouto.” Was the words spoken in his ear as a hand cupped the back of his head.

 

Sasuke knew everything was going to be okay. Once again his brother had reached out and made a connection with him. Sasuke knew if only for that one moment that everything was okay between him and Itachi. He was okay with that, because that's all he ever craved.

 

 

The things you do to me

I'm crystal clear

You see right through me

I'm crystal clear

 

 

Sasuke had experienced his brother freak out for the first time in his life. He couldn't explain the emotions running through his body as Itachi proceed to cut the clan down and tell his father exactly what he saw in the community. There was an overwhelming fear that took him over at his brother's spiteful words. He didn't want to hear this. He didn't want to see Itachi like this. He didn't like it. He remembered screaming Itachi's name from the doorway and watching the older Uchiha hit the dirt ground in forgiveness.

 

Sasuke felt the relief wash through his body, but from then after there was a huge distance between Itachi and their father. Because of this wall that had formed between the two, Sasuke had gotten more of his father's attention, but a lot less of Itachi's and this worried him greatly. Something was happening with the older Uchiha and there was nothing Sasuke could do to stop it.

 

He remembered walking through the quiet house late on night, not being able to sleep. He had stopped at Itachi's door aching to open it, just to be with the older Uchiha. He didn't dare though, not with the distance that Itachi had put between everyone. Who knew how he would react to Sasuke going in. He turned to walk the rest of the way to his room, but stopped short when he heard his brother's deep voice.

 

Sasuke carefully knelt down on the ground just by the door frame and as quietly as possible pushed the door open. There was no one in the room with Itachi, but he was indeed talking to someone. The window was open, Itachi's hair blowing back away from his face as he was almost hanging out it.

 

 

When I spy you on the phone

I go to pieces

When I watch you all alone

I go to pieces

I'm crystal clear (x4)

 

 

Sasuke listened quietly to the soften spoken words of his brother. He could only make out bits and pieces of what was being said, but he was pretty sure Itachi was talking to someone outside the window. Sasuke couldn't hear the other person though and had no clue who it could possibly be.

 

“No it is done.” Were the whispered words of his older brother. “There is suspicion but it doesn't matter.” Sasuke leaned forward. He missed the next couple of sentences that were said because his brother had pushed a little more out the window when he had said them. The next words made his breath catch in his throat though. “It will happen two days from now. Yes, Sasuke will be the only one. I understand. You can consider it done.”

 

Sasuke didn't realize he was cry. He quickly pushed his hands to his face as he wiped at the unwanted tears. He didn't understand why he was crying all he knew was that his heart was telling him that something bad was going to happen and his brother was going to be the source of it. He looked up when he heard the window close and he decided that he needed to be close to Itachi for this one night. His only night to be near his brother. He pushed the door open all the way and the look that Itachi gave him was one of surprise.

 

“What are you doing up Sasuke?” Itachi hissed venom at him, but he tried not to let it affect him.

 

“I couldn't sleep aniki.” He informed his older brother, never once looking up to meet the hard black eyes. “Can I stay with you tonight?”

 

There was a long pause. Sasuke wondered if he had overstepped his boundaries with his brother. Would Itachi freak out at him? Did Itachi even suspect that he had heard bits of the conversation with the unknown person out the window? Sasuke was starting to degrade himself for making such a stupid decision when he felt an arm slide around his shoulder.

 

He looked up at Itachi startled. He hadn't even heard the older man move. Itachi motioned him over to the bed and Sasuke went willingly. He climbed up onto the down comforter and quickly cuddled underneath at the spot his brother had been sitting, melting into the lingering warmth. Itachi climbed in after him and settled down onto his back, closing his eyes. Sasuke shyly cuddled up to his nii-san's side, scared that Itachi might push him away. Instead, he felt a strong arm wrap around his slim waist pulling him closer.

 

He let out a sigh of relief and melted into his brother's strong chest. He felt lips flutter across the flesh of his forehead, wondering if he imagined it. He had so many questions he was dying to ask Itachi but didn't speak one. It was rare for Itachi to let him do this and he hadn't got to sleep with his nii-san since he was almost seven so he didn't want to ruin the perfect moment. He had a feeling deep down in his soul, he would never get another.

 

The tears started again, but this time Sasuke noticed. He tried to get them under control, but couldn't. So he let them come and tried to keep as silent as possible so not to alert Itachi of his weakness. If the older man had any idea of Sasuke's turmoil he didn't let it known. They just laid next to each other, cuddled into one another's bodies as the tears slowly lured Sasuke off into a dreamless sleep.

 

 

When I spy you on the phone

I go to pieces

When I watch you all alone

I go to pieces

 

 

Sasuke woke up in a cold sweat as he sat up looking around his little apartment in a disoriented frenzy. He was still living by himself. His parents and clan was still dead as of eight years. He was still trying to kill his brother to avenge them. So why the hell was he dreaming about his childhood. It had been so long since he had. Usually if he did dream about it, it was the horrible night when he found everyone dead, not his memories of Itachi.

 

He pushed the heavy quilt off his sweating body and rose to his feet. His boxers were soaked for the cold sweat he had produce from his dream. He quickly removed them and didn't bother to put on clean one as he made his way to the window to let some of the cool night air in. His limbs were shaking and for some reason he couldn't get it under control. It had been a long time since he had been this shaken up by a dream. He pushed it from his mind though not wanting to dwell on it.

 

He stared out into the clear night, the air causing a chill to his body as the perspiration dried on his flesh. He leaned against the window sill as a familiar pain started to cause his heart to ache. He closed his eyes taking deep breaths trying to get the hurt under control. When his eyes opened again two tears trailed down his pale cheeks, one from each corner of the now red eyes.

 

“Why aniki?” He whispered into the still night as he heart broke all over again.

 

 

I'm crystal clear

I'm crystal clear
