Chapter One

"These are Itachi's memories…"

Sasuke thought watching as his brother shook with silent sobs behind their parents He listened as his father told Itachi how proud he was despite it all and his heart sunk in his chest.

How could he have believed his brother to be such a horrible person all those years ago? His kind, gentle older brother.

How could he fall for the lies the older man had spoon fed him, especially with how well he knew his aniki.

"He didn't deserve this."Whispered a soft voice and he nodded absently in agreement.

Itachi didn't deserve this kind of suffering.

"What would you do if I gave you a chance to change it? To save your clan and your brother from their fate."

He looked around, bewildered and found young girl standing behind him. Long snow colored hair fell in soft waves down her back and framed her chubby heart-shaped face. Her eyes were wide and innocent; the same cyan blue he saw behind his eyelids every time he allowed his thoughts to drift into forbidden territory. In her hands she held a small mirror. She continued speaking when he didn't respond.

"Uchiha Itachi has always been my favorite of your clan. He lacks the arrogance many of them, yourself included, wear like a shroud, but surpasses you in skill. He was never meant to live and die the way he had." She glanced up at him.

"Did you know you killed your nephew when you killed your brother?"

Sasuke froze, onyx eyes wide with confusion.

"W-What?"

"Your brother was with child when he died. Neither he nor his partner were aware of this fact and attributed many of his symptoms to his sickness. Had he lived, Itachi would've given birth to a child named Hoshigaki Sasuke."

Sasuke swallowed thickly, absently noting that his brother's memories had finally come to an end and he was back in the cavern with the other. Itachi stumbled forward, apologies falling from his lips along with regrets.

It made Sasuke feel even worse.

"Stop, aniki." He whispered brokenly and Itachi stilled staring at him wide eyed. "Please, stop."

Something shattered in the older Uchiha's eyes and he looked down.

"Right," Itachi replied, faltering a step. "I suppose it is too late for apologies."

A sad smile crossed his bloodless lips. "However, know this. No matter what you do from here on out, I will always love you."

Sasuke's heart broke and he fought not to scream as the reanimation of his brother fell apart leaving nothing but the strange girl behind.

"You can save them. Your clan and your brother, you can save them both." She repeated.

"How?"

She smiled kindly. "One moment," She waved her hand and Itachi reappeared, however it was the Itachi from before the reanimation. He was even wearing his Akatsuki robes and ring.

He looked as bewildered as Sasuke felt.

"W-What is this?" He asked, pain in his eyes.

Sasuke looked down. He hated hearing that longing for death in his brother's voice.

"Uchiha Itachi. It is an honor to finally meet you in person. I have watched your suffering for a very long time, since your very first step onto the battlefield just after your third birthday."

Itachi frowned, then gasped and stepped back, eyes widening. "K-Kami-sama." He greeted, bowing.

"I'm honored you are escorting me to hell personally."

Kami frowned. "You are not here for judgement, Dear One, quite the opposite. I have a proposition for you, both of you."

Sasuke blinked. "A proposition?"

"The Uchiha can be saved. I will send the two of you back in time to six months before the massacre. In addition, I will give both of you three separate gifts to help you in your endeavor."

"I accept." Sasuke replied, determined.

Itachi bit his lip and glanced over at his little brother. He really, really just wanted to rest. He was so tired of living. He just wanted to be with Kisame again…but Sasuke wouldn't be able to this alone.

He would do it, after all he owed his brother that much.

"I accept as well, Kami-sama."

The goddess gave him a sad, knowing smile.

"You will keep your current skills; however, you will need to train them to work in your new bodies. Your gifts will unlock upon the merging of your past and present souls, however these will also need to be trained for them to be used at their full potential."

The brothers nodded in understanding and Kami smiled. "One last thing," she paused. "There will be four others travelling back with you, although they will not have the gifts I have given you. They will help you both in your endeavor."

They nodded again and her smiled softened. "Good luck."

Before either raven could reply they were engulfed in a blinding white light and thrown into oblivion.

Sasuke awakened to the sound of a familiar pain-filled scream.

Itachi.

Paying his own pained limbs, he jumped out of bed and raced down the hall to his older brother's room, his heart cringing when he found himself staring down at a smaller thirteen-year-old version of his brother. The older raven was writhing on his bed, blood trailing from his thin lips and closed eyes lids as he convulsed.

"Aniki," he whispered pained, crawling into his brother's bed. Hazy onyx eyes fluttered open, their owner's screams dying down into pained whimpers.

"O-otouto," Itachi took a shaky breath, his body relaxing. "Are you alright?"

The younger Uchiha glared at him, incredulous but didn't have time to speak before the door to the room flew open and a frantic voice sounded behind them.

"Itachi! Are you okay?"

Both ravens froze at the sound, at that voice. Soft, full of motherly concern…It had been so long since they'd heard that voice.

Sasuke felt his brother tense, could practically feel the guilt and pain eating at the other and his own heart felt as if it would shatter if someone didn't speak soon.

"I-I'm f-fine, Kaa-san." Itachi finally rasped turning away from them both, his long hair shielding his face.

"Itachi-" Their mother responded reaching for him, but he jerked away.

"Please leave. I wish to be alone."

"Aniki-" Sasuke protested but Itachi only ignored him, yet he could see the slight tremors running through his slim frame.

"Please leave." He repeated.

Their mother sighed and placed a gentle hand on his shoulder.

"Come, Sasuke. You need to get ready to leave for the academy."

He stood, biting back a gasp of pain as the pain in his limbs finally made itself known. Looking up at his mother he smiled, wishing he could tell her the reason for Itachi's distance if only to spare his aniki the pain of seeing the worry on her face. Instead, he followed her from the room with a single glance back at the silent figure on the bed, and vowed that this time Itachi wouldn't suffer even if he had to beat some sense into their clansmen's heads.
