eight crows (朱) action

[yourhatred]

Itachi, dressed warmly, has started a small campfire to the side of community building two. There, one can find the ninja cooking... sweet potatoes? And slow roasted tomatoes.

Sometimes he just needs an open fire. That and some time to think.

What is it they say about the best laid plans? He's sure the answer accounts for his current situation no matter what world one happens to be from.]

[Itachi seems to have done a fair amount of cooking, but very little actual eating. He picks out a sweet potato for himself now, using a flat bit of wood for a makeshift plate.

To his brother, he says nothing else.]

[Content to let Sasuke think things over, Itachi remains silent until his little brother speaks again.]

Probably.

[Oh, but he's a little wrong there.]

I may be something of a hypocrite, and maybe I have no right to say this, but if your return to our world means you will attempt to destroy everything I tried to protect, then I will do my best to see to it you don't return.

[A short glance in his direction.] ...Do you even have any plans for leaving?

[felltohate.livejournal.com]

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

Move in with me.

[felltohate.livejournal.com]

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

Let me reiterate.

You will move in with me. Or I will move in with you.

[Itachi begins chuckling lowly.]

You won't let me get in your way, when you claim to be avenging me. Seems somewhat ironic.

[felltohate.livejournal.com]

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

You realize, if you leave at this point without agreeing to stay with me I will follow you for however long it takes.

[Itachi breathes in, letting it out slowly.]

It's not Konoha. Not just Konoha, anyway.

[The sharingan is gone from Itachi's eyes, and he faces Sasuke's direction blindly. If it's possible for him to look any more serious than he does normally, he's doing so now.]

Peace.

Because you say so, Sasuke?
