A/N: I thought of this in maths. I was bored… I have a few doubts about it and it's not a serious "I'm going to update every other day" kind of story but "Something to live for" has hit a massive writers block wall that I'm trying to break down. This was the result and also-

Warnings: boy X boy and swearing. Heavy swearing.

"I cannot believe I ended up in the same stinking hellhole as you." Sasuke stated glaring furiously at the taller brunette across the endless expanse of darkness. The man in question wore a bored expression.

"Foolish little brother, this is PURGATORY, not Hell, so be grateful you're not down there with the lovely Orochimaru sama. Besides we have this argument every day, aren't you a little tired of it by now?"

"Fuck you Itachi, you're the one who should be in Hell! God knows why He put you in purgatory instead after all the things you've done. Anyway, every moment watching you suffer brings me satisfaction so shut the fuck up."

"Well technically you're only winding yourself up, and you too have done terrible things Otouto, so you are being slightly hypocritical, but go ahead by any means if it makes you happy to blame me. Besides I know Orochimaru loves it when you act like a child."

"Don't you fucking dare Itachi-"

"Oh well if you don't want me to call him, and you don't want to go down and pay him a visit in Hell, I could always arrange it with the Big Man for you and him to go back down to Earth and hook up in another life-"

"Itachi?" Sasuke asked sweetly, cutting off his brothers speech, his onyx eyes cute and pleading.

"Sasuke chan?" Itachi questioned, his reply equally as sugary.

"Fuck off." He spat. A look of amusement settled on the elders face.

"So many "F" words Sasuke, do you need to get laid or something?" Sasuke gaped and spluttered for a few moments, his fists shaking in anger, as he glared at his brother through angry coal eyes. "Or did you spend so much time chasing me that you remained a virgin?"

"What I did or didn't do is none of your fu-" A sharp look from Itachi changed Sasuke's words. "Freaking business!" But before Itachi could retort, a small pop that signified a new mission reached their ears.

"About time" Sasuke muttered darkly, reaching for the floating scroll which had appeared before them, but Itachi snatched it when it was only millimetres from Sasuke's grip. "Oi! This is MY turn to do a mission you selfish prick!"

"I got the scroll first." Itachi replied flatly "You're acting like a spoiled brat again Sasuke, you know we do these things individually."

"You bastard! I only have to do one more mission and then I get my white wings and can get out of here and finally meet Him!"

"So waiting a few more days wont matter will it?"

"Itachi- It could be YEARS for all we know. There is no time in limbo!" Itachi didn't even seem to be listening and was too busy scanning the document, vague concern lingering in his eyes.

"Hm… I doubt it's been years since you died Otouto." He stated quietly piquing Sasuke's interest.

"Why? What does it say?" he demanded, though the man in question refused to meet his brothers eyes when he replied.

"It can't have been too long Sasuke, because this mission… Involves Uzumaki Naruto."

Sasuke's eyes widened and he peered over his brothers shoulder, shuddering in disgust at having to go anywhere near his twisted spirit.

"How old does it say he is?"

"18." Itachi replied and Sasuke frowned, eyes clouding over.

"It's been 2 years then. 2 years since our last mission" he stated, silently adding "and 4 years since I last laid eyes on him." Itachi looked at his brother in uncertainty, and began in an abnormally hesitant voice.

"Do you… want this mission instead?" Sasuke's head snapped up.

"But I thought you said-"

"he's your friend." Itachi replied cutting across him. "This is about your life."

"Past life." Sasuke corrected sullenly. "I swore to have nothing more to do with him."

"It'll help you gain your white wings." Itachi cajoled, flicking the other boys tiny flightless black stubbs to prove the point. "It's too good an opportunity to miss Sasuke. It could be another 200 years before a new mission is assigned to us, and by that time Naruto will have already passed over to meet Him and you will still be stuck in limbo." Sasuke eyes the paper warily.

"What is it about?"

"What's wrong Sasuke? Did you leave your brain back in the world of the living today?" Itachi teased, smirking at Sasuke's glowering face. "Maybe I should give you a quick recap of the rules of Purgatory to refresh your memory Otouto?" he suggested, smirking evilly and pretending to be oblivious to Sasuke's groan of exasperation. "You should already know that our mission as Dark Angels is to help those suffering in the living world, and therefore cleanse our souls of the sins we committed in life. After 1000 people have been helped, we free ourselves of our burdens and gain our white wings, and only then may we move on to the true afterlife and meet Him. Your best friend is currently the one in need of that help and guidance Sasuke." The raven ground his teeth at his brothers infuriating arrogance and his patronising tone.

"I know that already, you jumped up bastard, what does he need help with?"

"It would appear he is lonely." Itachi replied his eyes flicking through the neat writing on the scroll. "The report says the news of your death came as a shock, and he's now severely depressed. Apparently he needs a distraction."

"Well what am I supposed to do about it?" Sasuke asked moodily, scuffing the non existent floor with his foot. Itachi snorted and pushed the paper into his hands.

"Can you not read little brother?" Sasuke eyed the page in disbelief, drowning in the shame, the sheer cruelty, he knew this mission would bring upon him.

MISSION OBJECTIVE: FIND A SOUL MATE FOR UZUMAKI NARUTO.

"You have GOT to be joking…"

A/N: love it? Hate it? Should I send it to the big library in the sky? Review and give me an opinion peeps ;P
