Chapter 6

Sasuke starred up at the night sky blankly, not a single emotion portrayed on his beautiful pale face.

'Itachi...I miss you...' He whimpered to himself and pulled up his knees up to his chest, resting his forehead on top of his knees.

"Sasuke-san?"

The raven looked up grouchily, raising a black brow, "Dinner's ready, if you feel up to eating come down stairs, okay?" Suigetsu said, smiling brightly at his guest before closing the door behind him, giving the boy his space.

"..." Sasuke starred at the door Suigetsu had just disappeared through and got of the window seat, padding over in his over-sized clothes to the door to follow after the silver-haired man, though he was only a few years older, around his 20's. He had been staying in the flat for about 2 week now and had become quite clingy, like a baby chick following its mother, he had no idea why but he felt safe when he was around and so thus started the trailing behind, but if he weren't following him around he was usually in his room.

When he arrived at the kitchen he sat down and watched as Suigetsu placed food onto his plate, smiling when he caught the raven's eye.

"I made the curry sauce a little spicier, since you don't like sweets and all." Sasuke allowed a very tiny smile to appear on his face before it disappeared and he dug into his food, eating his rice very slowly.

"So...Sasuke I've been meaning to ask...where you from are."

"..." The raven pause din his eating, looking down at the table before continuing his meal, when he swallowed his food he simply said, "Konohagakure..."

"Konoha!? W-what? Then what are you doing all the way over here!?"

"...I don't know..." He quietly replied before setting the chopsticks down and standing up, "Thank you for the meal..." He mumbled before heading up the stairs.

"What is it Gin?"

The long-haired silver dog looked up at his master and pawed at the brick building, whimpering, causing his owner to frown and look up at the relatively new apartment building, he shook his head and took hold of the dogs collar and pulled him in the other direction, solemnly walking back towards the park.

Gin growled and pulled away from his master and bounded back towards the building, shoving through the swarms of people crossing the street, not litsening to Itachi's commands to come back, he made it across the street and stopped in his tracks when he came back to the familiar scent of Sasuke, he sniffed the area and sat back on his haunches, starring up at the glass doors.

A couple stepped out, too wrapped up in each other's eyes to notice in walk past them as the doors opened.

He lifted his nose in the air and sniffed the air, padding over to the stairs before climbing up them, following the familiar scent, it was faint but he could still sense it.

---

Suigetsu set the cleaned dishes on the drying rack before grabbing a rag to dry his hands, his thoughts lingering on a certain raven haired beauty.

He hadn't been eating all that much lately and he could tell he was losing a lot of weight already, he shook his head and set the rag down, he walked into the adjoined living room and sat down on the couch, turning the TV on, flipping through the channels and landing on the evening news.

'Welcome to channel 14News, on today's news, word of the dangerous famed Akatsuki organization has come to Suna, we have reports of the organization running amuck all over the city, civilians are cautioned to get home early and avoid going out after dark, moving on..."

Suigetsu narrowed his eyes at the mention of the name and un-consciously rubbed the back of his neck, feeling the familiar brand right at the end of his neck hair line.

(Scratch)(Scratch)

"Hm?" The silver-haired teen frowned and stood up, turning the TV off just as a picture of a familiar raven popped up on the screen, Sasuke Uchiha, under the picture while the newscaster explained how the teen had gone missing over a year ago.

Suigetsu opened the door and frowned when he didn't see anyone; he opened the door wider and stepped out.

"Huh." However, he didn't notice the over-sized dog sneak in past him and follow the now stronger scent, he stopped in front of another door and pushed it open with his muzzle, it opened easily and he peeked his head in before pulling his entire body through, his tongue lolled out to the side of his mouth when he saw the boy who had found him over a year ago in the alley.

"Woof!"

Sasuke's head shot up from its place atop his knees, and starred at the silver-haired dog sitting in front of him.

"G-Gin!?" The dog barked yet again and bounded forward, pouncing atop him and licking his face excitedly, panting excitedly to have finally found his master.

"W-what are you doing here boy?" He asked through his tears, wrapping his arms around the canine's torso tightly, digging his face into his mane as if though he was afraid the dog would disappear from in front of him.

"Sasuke did I hear a dog-wow, where the hell did he come from!?" Sasuke looked up and sniffled quietly, wiping his tears away.

"I-I don't know." Sasuke stroked the dog's ears affectionately, smiling down at the seemingly grinning Gin.

'...wait...if Gin's here...then that means...' The raven shot up and ran past the puzzled Suigetsu and out the front door, and towards the staircase, he took two at a time, stumbling a few times but he paid no mind, until he got to the bottom floor.

He darted outside and looked around, not taking notice to Gin who skidded to a halt, sniffing the air, he caught his master's scent and caught his sleeve, tugging it in the direction of Itachi.

Sasuke frowned but followed, pushing through the crowds of people.

'Itachi, Itachi, where are you?'

"SASUKE!" The raven froze and turned around in the direction of the voice, his eyes widening and filling with tears.

"Sasuke..." Itachi smiled and ran towards his beautiful younger brother, scooping him up into his arms and embracing him as tightly as he could.

"Itachi, Itachi, 'tachi..." Sasuke sobbed into his brother's chest, gripping onto his shirt, terrified that he would wake up and turn out all to be a dream.

"Sasuke, my beautiful Sasuke." Itachi whispered, taking the teary face into his palms and kissing every inch of it, his eyelids, his nose, his cheeks, his forehead, his chin and finally his lips, Sasuke cried harder, wrapping his arms around Itachi's neck and pulling himself closer to his brother, never wanting to let go.

"I'll never let anyone take you away from me...never again..." He whispered, holding his brother, smiling down at him.

Suigetsu eyed the look-a-like ravens in front of him, slightly un-nerved by the almost identical features on both Uchiha's.

"So, you're Itachi Uchiha?" He asked, setting three cups of green tea on the coffee table, before taking a seat across from them, Sasuke took his cup of tea and sipped it carefully with one hand, keeping the other tightly and securely around his brother's arm.

"Yes, no words can express how grateful I am for you having taken care of my younger brother; I am forever in your debt."

The silver-haired teen blushed, "Uh-huh...it was no problem, and it was nice to have someone around the place besides just me." He replied, scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.

Itachi smirked, glancing down at Sasuke; the younger raven was sipping his tea, his grip on Itachi tightening every now and then though he couldn't say he minded.

"So...you don't have to answer this but, what had you on the run in the first place Sasuke? I mean, when I first found you, you're body was covered in...(ahem)...well you know...my only guess since it involves Itachi is that you're dealing with the Akatsuki..."

Sasuke tensed up and looked up at Suigetsu; slowly he set his cup down and nodded, starring down at the tile floor.

"How do you know I was involved with Akatsuki?" Itachi asked, narrowing his eyes.

Suigetsu sighed and un-consciously rubbed his brand mark again, "I guess...you could say I was ...foolish..."

Sasuke sat up and lightened his hold on Itachi's arm at this, "What?"

"I had an older brother...Mangetsu Hozuki...we were poor since our parents died when we were young, so when he got an offer to join the akatsuki he joined...he brought me along too...we were okay for a few years but then he...he was killed on an assignment...I didn't have anywhere to go so they allowed me to stay on the condition that I would...do some things for some of the members...I was branded property of the Akatsuki...so that's how I heard about you..."

"Branded?"

He nodded turning around and lifting the hair at the nape of his neck up, he heard Sasuke gasp and allowed his hair to fall back down, before sitting back down.

"I see...but you managed to get out."

"Yes...I went back to school and discovered that my brother had a substantial amount of money set aside for me in case something ever happened to him, and I opened up the apartment complex with some of it..."

Itachi nodded, glancing at Sasuke who was starring at Suigetsu sympathetically.

Finally, finally they were together again.

"It's been 3 weeks! How can you not have found him by now?" The ginger-haired leader roared, slamming the subordinate into the wall behind him.

"We're sorry Pein-sama, but there is not a single trace of him, we've searched through the camera records of all the security cameras in the area and we haven't been able to find a single inclination as to where he is." He replied frightened, eyes wide.

"Get out of my office." He growled, shoving away from the young brunette before stalking to his desk, he heard the door slam closed and fell into his chair, glaring at the wall in front of him.

"Where the hell could he be? It may be a big city but how is it possible that not a single trace was left! FUCK!" He through a vase nearby at the wall he had been glaring at, panting and glaring harshly.

"...Itachi...that's got to be it...he's probably with him!" Pein stalked to his desk and grabbed his phone, calling the red-haired Akatsuki member.

"Sasori, gather some people to follow Itachi, don't let him out of your sight!" He snapped the phone shut and sat down in his chair, Sasuke was most definitely with Itachi, and there was no other place...

"I will find you Sasuke...and this time, I'll make you watch while I fuck and kill him..."
