Chapter 14:7

“Don’t worry Otouto,” Itachi told him as they both got dressed the next morning. “There won’t be any more people coming to bother you. Not ever.”8

He just sent Itachi a grateful look.9

The two of them ate breakfast silently, and Itachi called the FBI to talk to his boss. Pein was the one in charge, but instead his call was rerouted to Sasori, who was pretty much his assistant when Konan was away.10

“Yes?” He sounded like something was wrong.11

“Sasori, I need to ask you a favor. Could you tell Pein that I’m taking some time off from the case? I need a break, a sort of sabbatical, and he offered me one until I could figure out what to do with Sasuke.”12

“Right, sure. No problem. Thanks for letting us know. I’ll-” He sounded impatient too.13

“And Sasori?”14

“Hm?”15

“Call me if you find out any new leads about Orochimaru. That bastard is gonna pay.”16

“I will.”17

Itachi didn’t feel like saying anything more, so he just hung up.18

He had plenty of money to last him for a few weeks, or even months if need be. He knew that he would have to return to work again. But he had hated feeling so rushed with Sasuke… Like he didn’t have enough time to spend teaching him things. He’d never forgive himself if something awful happened.19

That brought the memories flooding back from last night. He felt bad for what he did, like he should have been stronger than that, for his little brother’s sake if nothing else. But he had to figure out a way to help him somehow, and that was the only way he knew.20

He tried to tell himself it would be alright.21

“We need to go to the store,” He told his brother, carefully. “Do you think you can handle being around some people today?”22

Sasuke looked confused, but he nodded slowly.23

“Alright. Come on, let’s go.”24

He led Sasuke out to his car. The boy seemed frightened of what would happen at first. He wasn’t sure how to handle Sasuke right now, but he just knew that he needed some decent clothing of his own. While it was cute to watch his adorable brother parading around wearing his clothes, Itachi knew he couldn’t keep doing it forever. A person needed to have their own possessions.25

The car ride there was a long one. There seemed to be an awkward silence between them, and he didn’t think Sasuke was completely sure where they were going, but the boy seemed much calmer today.26

Itachi could tell that a profound difference was taking place. Sasuke seemed more happy, more alive now somehow. It was amazing the difference that last night had made… Not just for Sasuke, but for himself as well. It was true the younger one needed someone to heal him; to make things better for him…27

But what he hadn’t realized until now was that Itachi needed healing too. He’d also been hurt in all of this. And it wasn’t until today that he realized just how much he had also needed it. Not just the sex, after all he really hadn’t gotten anything out of last night. That had all been for Sasuke’s pleasure. He’d wanted it that way, and this morning he had no regrets about it.28

It didn’t take long for them to pull into the parking lot at the mall.29

“Get out,” Itachi smiled at him comfortingly.30

By the time Sasuke had climbed out of the car, Itachi had already walked around it. He held his little brother’s hand, trying to calm his nerves. Or that was what Itachi told himself, anyway. In truth, he needed his own nerves to be calmed just as badly. He was so afraid of something bad happening. He wasn’t even sure what exactly he feared.31

“Otouto,” He smirked when Sasuke looked up. So the boy knew that meant him. Good. Since their family was originally Japanese, that was important. “There are going to be lots of people here. But you need to stay with me, unless I say it’s okay. Don’t talk to anyone, and don’t go with anyone.”32

He tilted his head to the side in confusion.33

“Don’t be scared,” At the mention of that, he squeezed Itachi’s hand, as they walked toward the big scary building. “We’re just going to buy things. It will be fun. Stay with me.”34

He decided to try to simplify it the best that he could. He wasn’t sure if Sasuke even understood. Itachi was just hoping that he’d be able to manage things today.35

Sasuke was busy looking around at everything, and he stayed close to Itachi’s side, just as he’d been told. Though whether it was because he was afraid, or just following instructions, had yet to be seen.36

He was glad his sibling had opted to wear a shirt today. Itachi looked at him. He looked almost normal, with his oversized black T-shirt and a pair of Itachi’s jeans. He’d even found an old pair of shoes in his closet that sort of fit Sasuke. The boy looked like a normal teenager… Now if only he would act like one. Itachi wasn’t expecting too much out of him. If the boy got really freaked out, they would have to leave and try again later.37

But Sasuke looked like he was handling it pretty well. His first time out in public seemed to be going okay. No one was bothering them, people were just walking around and looking at things. Itachi had been worried that it might bother him because of the noise level, but Sasuke was actually handling it pretty well. Maybe it was because he trusted Itachi.38

They made their way through the crowd to an expensive department store where Itachi usually shopped for his work clothes. After a few minutes of looking around, Sasuke tugged on his hand. He wanted to go back into the more open area of the mall, and out of the small store, it seemed.39

“Don’t like anything in here?” Itachi smiled fondly at him.40

Sasuke shook his head no, and began to back out of the store slowly.41

“It’s okay, we’ll try somewhere else…”42

They walked until they came to another place. It was a bit more modern and teen-oriented store. There were other people there, around Sasuke’s age. People looked at him, and Itachi thought that more than one person might be checking him out. But when they saw his paranoid look, and how he was staring at everyone and everything, studying his surroundings very carefully, they looked away. A tiny twinge of pain hit Itachi’s heart when he realized how his brother would probably never fit in with normal society…43

He saw that his younger brother wasn’t going to pick anything up on his own. He kept both hands locked around Itachi’s arm, holding on for dear life. The poor kid didn’t know what to do. So Itachi picked out a few things he thought Sasuke might like, and headed over to the dressing room.44

Sasuke didn’t like being in such a small room. Especially if he had to be locked in. But since Itachi went in with him, he decided it was okay. It was obvious that he was very nervous about it, though.45

He put the clothes on a small hanger and told Sasuke to undress. The boy did it slowly and nervously, biting his lip and staring at the ground. Did he think this was something… sexual?46

“Otouto, it’s okay… Nothing bad will happen. Your just trying on clothes. See?” The older Uchiha held up the shirts and jeans, but it was to no avail.47

Sasuke whimpered demurely. He’d felt safe with Itachi and now he kind of felt like his trust was being betrayed. Thoughts of being forced to walk through this place naked flashed through his mind. His old master had loved to humiliate him. Maybe his new master would like it too? Was that was this whole thing was all about? Were all these people here to see him nude?48

He was starting to panic, when he heard Itachi tell him to but he knew he had no choice but to obey. Demurely, he undressed and stood exposed before his new master, trying desperately not to whine.49

“I’m not going to hurt you,” Itachi ran a soothing hand through his hair. Then he stepped away, and “You know how to get dressed, right? We just need to see if these fit.”50

Sasuke put the clothes on when Itachi handed them to him. His older brother helped him at first, but he preferred to put the clothes on himself. Itachi was silently grateful that he didn’t have to touch Sasuke any more than that. He didn’t know if he could really stand a whole day of seeing him undress over and over, while he had to stand so close and touch him too…51

With a sigh, Sasuke stood in front of him. “Turn around.” The boy did as he was told, letting Itachi see the clothes on him. The first pair of jeans and T-shirt fit him okay.52

They repeated this process until he’d tried on everything. Then he was told to put back on his original clothes, and he and Itachi left the small room. This really had confused Sasuke, and he looked around nervously again as soon as they began to walk away. Itachi put the clothes that didn’t fit in the bin, and they went back in search of more.53

While Sasuke was trying on another outfit, this time on his own while his older brother watched, there was an irritating beeping sound coming from Itachi’s pocket. He sighed, thinking it was most likely Pein calling to chew him out.54

He flipped open his cell phone, irritated. “Hello?”55

“Itachi-kun, where have you been? I was worried about you,” It was his- No, correction. It was their mother.56

“I’ve been busy, Kaa-san.”57

“Well I know you have to work, but that was actually one of the reasons that I called you. You won’t have to anymore. It’s about your father’s inheritance-“58

“Keep it.” He cut her off abruptly.59

“Why wouldn’t you want it?” Mikoto asked slowly, cautiously. When a moment passed and he didn’t answer, she continued. “Well we can discuss this in person. Can you come over today so we can talk about it?”60

Itachi glanced at Sasuke out of the corner of his eye. “Uh… I guess so.”61

“Good, see you soon.”62

Boy, was she in for a surprise…63

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO64

Itachi knew they’d have to deal with his mother eventually. Sasuke seemed okay for the rest of the day. He’d even enjoyed shopping. At first he was confused by all the noise and people but by now he was doing great. He almost acted like he didn’t want to leave. And he was so grateful for the things his new master had bought for him.65

His older brother wasn’t that delusional. He knew that Sasuke would look at him as his master, and not his brother… Not yet, anyway. He tried to let the teen do as he wanted, to let him gain his own free will, and a little bit of normalcy.66

Right now, they were finishing their meal in the food court of the mall. Sasuke didn’t know what to ask for, and was busy clinging to Itachi’s side because of all the people that were buzzing around this area of the big building. So he’d ordered something he thought his brother might enjoy.67

It wasn’t annoying, the way he never wanted to let go for even a moment, it was just… Itachi thought it was cute the way Sasuke still acted like he needed to be protected, even though there was no real danger present. He’d even insisted on sitting beside Itachi at the table, rather than across from him as most people would. People would stare at them like they thought they were a couple. Strangely, Itachi didn’t mind that either.68

“We’re leaving now,” Itachi told him when Sasuke pushed his empty plate to the side. “But we can’t go home yet. We have one more stop.”69

Sasuke didn’t even bother to look up. He just got up when Itachi did and followed him out of the building. They headed straight for the car, and the warm afternoon sun was blazing, but… At least they had nice cool air conditioner.70

They were on their way to where Mikoto lived in no time, and Itachi was trying to brace himself for what he knew was coming. This was going to be very emotional, for both himself and Sasuke. And his mother- Well, he didn’t care how she felt.71

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
