Revenge

Disclaimer: I don’t own.



Hey fellow yaoi lovers! Sorry for the late update, my internet connection was cut for the entire week, so I couldn’t post anything.



Thanks you for all the reviews you guys left, it really made my day! However, sorry for the lack of answer in this chapter, but I feel you’d rather have the story than my little reviews answer! Work is literally killing me so I’ll only have time to post this.



Well, Enjoy!

Sakura was still trying to open the door of Sasuke’s mansion half an hour after being locked inside by said owner.



The conversation didn’t go as planned. She thought she would at least have the time to explain what she saw and heard before Sasuke went on a rampage. For a while, she even thought he would just call her a liar: He did see how far she could go to get what she wanted before.



But before she had the entire sentence out, he had his Sharingan spinning, his pupils dilated, and he disappeared. She didn’t even see him put the jutsu locking her inside the house. She did, however, heard his parting words



“If you are lying again, not even the baby will save your worthless life”



And for the first time ever since she saw Naruto with Kyuubi’s four tails, she had been afraid. She shuddered. She didn’t have the time to think about that.



Who knew what Sasuke could be doing right now? He could be trying to force answers out of Naruto. After all, they knew the brother issue was still a sore point, even though he did give up on chasing him. However, she doubted he would let the chance pass up if it was Itachi who came to him.



He could already be fighting his brother.



She felt even more useless than she was during their genin days.



She couldn’t use Chakra. Or at least the doctors told her not to, or she could lose the baby and her own life if she used too much. She now understood why no women in her family were kunoichi. It was too risky.



She didn’t know what to do. Should she risk both her life and her baby’s to try and get to Naruto’s house before everything turned ugly, or should she think of the life inside of her first?



She remembered the talk her mother gave her before she passed the genin test. She had asked if Sakura was sure, knowing the condition the Haruno women suffered from, and Sakura was so sure of herself at the time.



She was sure she would choose her life as a kunoichi before anything else. But now, as she could feel the baby inside her, she didn’t know if her old teammate turned Hokage was worth the sacrifice.



She was torn. For weeks, she had tried to talk to Naruto, but he didn’t even acknowledge her presence. It was only after she made the mistake of grabbing his arm to stop him from leaving that he threatened to tell Sasuke she was secretly leaving the mansion and demote her from her status as a Shinobi if she didn’t forget about his very existence.



She suddenly heard a knock on the door she was trying to open. She felt Tsunade’s chakra and almost wept with joy.



“Tsunade-sama!” she screamed



“Sakura? Why is there a jutsu on the house?” Asked Tsunade.



“I don’t have time to explain. Could you get rid of the barrier so I can get out?”



She was starting to get desperate. Sasuke or Naruto could be dead already, or still fighting. Horrible scenarios invaded her mind and she started sobbing.



Tsunade heard her and she quickly deactivated the jutsu. She saw Sakura run out of the house as fast as she could with her bulging belly and decided not to follow her as she ran toward the village.



Tsunade just shook her head, thinking she’d have to come back later. Right now, she needed something to drink.

Naruto was watching the two brothers as they faced each other. He never thought he’d get to witness the last two Uchiha’s fight. One-sided fight actually as Sasuke was the only one attacking.



They were deep inside the forest of death, where Itachi teleported them as to not attract any unwanted attention. He was watching Sasuke, eyes blank but Naruto could tell he was trying to anticipate the next attack.



It was funny, in a way, that after all these years learning Jutsu and other techniques from the snake bastard, Sasuke was still rushing at his brother like he did in that hotel hall when he was twelve.



They were watching each other now, and Sasuke looked about to explode. He was the only one injured, if only slightly and it seemed to irk him to no end. He had a wild look in his eyes that was just screaming murder and the spinning Sharingan and grinding teeth didn’t help.



Naruto didn’t know what to do. Should he stop the fight and tell Sasuke the truth? Or should he wait for Itachi to make a decision?



He didn’t want to intrude in something that almost seemed sacred to both of them.



Even after everything that happened, he didn’t want Sasuke to get hurt. At least not too much. He knew he would be hurt anyway, when they told him the truth about them and about his family.



The thing he knew, however, was that if things turned too ugly, he’d have to step in…



Babies or not.



--



He wanted to believe she was lying. Why couldn’t he. She did it a few months ago, ruining the best thing that’s ever happened to him. But as she told him what she heard, from Naruto not denying one of the babies was Itachi’s and Tsunade handing Naruto something that could help him be with Itachi, he just lost it.



No need to be a genius to know that the only way Naruto could be with Itachi openly was if he was innocent. But he couldn’t believe that.



When he decided to stop chasing after his brother’s shadow, it wasn’t because he was tired of it, far from it. He could have chased after Itachi for years if it meant avenging his family. No, he simply didn’t want to do it Itachi’s way.



He wanted, for once in his life, to do everything on his terms. Call it misplaced pride, but he didn’t want to be the younger, foolish brother anymore.



So, he decided to wait, until his brother came to him. He just didn’t know everything else would happen because of his decision.



Naruto and his brother was definitely not something he could have imagined. And his brother being possibly innocent was definitely not anywhere in the different scenarios he imagined.



But he couldn’t just accept it right away. Even if his mind screamed at him that no Hokage left hidden scrolls concerning secret missions if it was not true, that he actually could remember his brother having meetings with the Hokage a lot, a few days before the massacre, or that even while he was still a defenseless genin, his brother never disposed of him as he did with the rest of the clan.



He couldn’t just accept it.



So he attacked again and it seemed that Itachi finally had enough of this fight and finally decided not to be so passive. He grabbed Sasuke’s fist as the sword passed by his head and hit him in the stomach. Sasuke flinched but managed to retreat a little to regain his breath.



He rushed at his brother again, vainly trying to push his sword through Itachi’s heart. His older brother merely sidestepped but Sasuke still managed to cut his arm slightly.



Itachi watched as Sasuke smirked, and quickly checked his arm. He disappeared suddenly and reappeared behind a stunned Sasuke and hit him in the back of his neck.



He blacked out.

When he woke up, he realized he couldn’t move.



He looked down and recognized Naruto’s bed and realized he was tied to one of the bedposts. He was sitting on the floor, his back to the hard wood post and a rope circled his chest, trapping his arms against his sides.



He was alone in the room, but he could hear Naruto and Itachi’s voices’ coming from what he guessed was the kitchen.



“Will you tell him why?” Asked Naruto



“Sasuke is not stupid” started Itachi “If he came rushing here with killing intent, without trying to warn you away from me, it means he already knows”



“He can’t know” half-screamed Naruto “How could he. I just saw the scroll less than an hour ago. Until then, I was still convinced you were a criminal...” He trailed off, watching Itachi’s reaction. He sighed “You need to tell him it was a mission you took to protect him, that you didn’t just get ansty and decided to kill your family!”



Now Sasuke was torn between stay and find out what his brother would do and just bail out and totally disappear after killing off the people who gave out missions to ANBU.



He sighed as he heard footsteps coming toward the room. He saw Itachi come in, give him the scroll Naruto had in his hands the whole time, and he untied him. It seemed his dear brother still didn’t see him as a threat.



He unrolled the scroll and read it, not really interested as he had already guessed its content. He waited a while before looking at Naruto’s expectant face.



“Are you sure this is real?” He asked blandly, without looking at his brother.



Naruto just nodded, waiting for this storm to pass before starting another one by saying he was with Itachi now and that there was no chance at all for Sasuke.



After a while Sasuke just sighed “Just don’t expect me to be friendly because you just lied to me for about twelve years”



Naruto felt the tension leave his body and he took a deep breath, looking at Itachi. He turned to Sasuke again as he saw him stand up.



“Wait. There is something else you need to know”



Sasuke stopped next to the door and turned to face them again. He didn’t want to hear it, he didn’t know what he would do if Naruto confirmed Sakura’s words.



Up until now, he still hoped there was a chance for them again. That it was just a matter of time before he would be happy again. He couldn’t let his brother take something away from him again. He wouldn’t let him.



“I’m expecting twins. Kyuubi did something to me and the result is… the babies have different fathers. ” He paused, wondering if his words sounded as awkward to Sasuke as they sounded to him “What I’m trying to say, is that your brother and I…”



He didn’t get to finish his sentence. Sasuke’s curse seal suddenly flared to life, his skin turning a dark grey, and he felt, more than saw, Sasuke rush to his brother, Chidori crackling around his whole body, creating a lightning like light in his room. He saw Sasuke’s hand stretch forward and realized he was aiming for Itachi’s heart.



He sprang forward, knowing Itachi couldn’t avoid the blow and used all of Kyuubi’s speed, trying to reach Sasuke before his friend could reach his lover.



He managed to get in the way of Sasuke’s hand just before Impact and felt his flesh tear, right above the heart.



He gasped, felt blood flow out of his fresh wound and almost whined when he didn’t feel Kyuubi’s chakra head to the wound to heal it. He smiled bitterly as he felt himself fall to the floor, Sasuke’s hand slipping from his body.



Through the pain and tear filled eyes, he managed to hear Sasuke’s gasp of his name, to see Itachi’s red eyes widen in alarm and heard a third voice, one he had rejected for the past months scream his name.



Before his eyes shut, he saw pink hair, and a flicker of hesitation in his ex teammate’s eyes, before her hands finally glowed with green Chakra.

A/N: I don’t like how this turned out. But I wanted to get it out today. The story took a new turn with the Sakura issue, it was not planned at all.



Anyway, I think I will put this on hold for a while, just until I finish my other story, which is like 2 chapters away from the end! And I’ll probably rewrite this, if I have a better way to twist it around.



Thank you for reading this!!



Hugs!
