Paj-Tesserra || Sasuke -> Merc -> Itachi ->

[embalmment]

He didn't know if it was pity or if it was simply an automatic responce to the obsession. If Itachi died here like this than it wouldn't be the same. Even though there was so much else going on in his life that he really didn't need this... it was Itachi. He couldn't. He could not. He could not walk away. No matter what his mind said he should do his body would not listen. The garments underneath his cloak were so torn that they fell right off. Skin and blood. Blood was everywhere. All over his body. All over his clothing. All over everything. Everywhere.

What happened? Where were you from? What did you last see? Who was it? Was it me?He was fading and fast. Scarlets blinked softly as the man's head rolled towards him. A hypnotic sleep would succumb Itachi instantly. It would buy them some time. Lock him in that place and status for now. How long he could stall time he wasn't sure. Sasuke sighed as his eyes looked up at the sky blankly for a long moment. The smell was overwelming. Itachi's blood was all over his clothing. All over

A young Asian girl answered the door. Except for knowing about her dual identities, Sasuke might have questioned whether he had the right person or a new arrival. If any such question remained, it was answered for him immediately when she greeted him by name; the voice and manner were the same and, once suspicion dawned, the similarities in facial features were probably noticeable

((ooc: Skipping Itachi for him being unconscious and all ))He knew of the dual personalities and even if he didn't the similarities were there that he need not to question. Not as if in this state of mind he really was going to question anything. Not until the questions were sorted out. Sasuke, for a moment, was merely staring blankly over her shoulder. It took some time for him to register this idea of moving the body forward into the room because he was saving Itachi. No, not saving. No he was. He was so that... so that he would kill him. Here. It wasn't the same if the blood that covered him was not drawn by his hands. And even if it were Sasuke didn't remember it, or it hadn't happened yet, so he'd do it again just to make sure

There was no need to speak, except for necessities. Tautological, that

Settle. Think. Don't jump to any conclusions.

Sasuke breathed deeply as he watched Merc. His eyes going from her to the man by his feet. Laying on the ground half dead. The smallest smile crept over his lips as he looked over him. He wanted to live this again. Itachi would live so Sasuke could live this again. Of course, the younger Uchiha's condition and his children went completely out the window. Every strain of rationality disappeared as it always did when he was near Itachi. And to think he thought that things might be different? Hilarious.

His eyes shifted at the sound. A snake. Sasuke watched it; the tiny smile had long passed and his features returned to drained and dead in expression. Suiting. A snake.

Scarlets didn't stir from their angle on that face. What was once so perfect scared and would be likely forever. Chest burned and wounded. Arms and legs tore up.

"Yes," his voice was flat.

She had questions, of course. Sasuke would be smart enough to expect that. If he had come to her anyway, he was either willing or desperate enough to be willing to share them if he had to. Later.

Time was less of the essence now. Because she was that girl who had once been studying so hard to become a doctor, and Econtra's lack of medical facilities and personnel had made it expedient for her to take up that role as far as her current abilities allowed, Ami had medical supplies on hand.

Wounds were bound and stitched as needed, burns treated and salved. The fingers... those angles suggested broken. They, too, were bandaged and splinted to heal. Torn ligaments, muscle strain, possible nerve damage; she made a mental catalog.

Ami worked methodically, she and Sasuke saying only a handful of words between them if even that much. It might have been hours. It was hours; the injuries had been severe and extensive. This boy would be a long time in recovering, even with her help. Still, she was used to endurance exercises; she

As the older Uchiha could feel himself being laid down onto a bed - unconscious or not - there was a small gasp of pain that trembled throughout his body with a wince to follow, fingers lingered on thus that carried him and clothing been removed from before

Re: Paj-Tessera || Sasuke -> Merc -> Itachi ->

There was very little to hide when it came to the topic of his brother. And also, Sasuke very rarely hid his intentions when they were in the topic of his brother. So whether Sasuke realized the common understanding that Mercury would have questions or not at the time, it mattered little. He turned towards a couch just a few feet away and allowed Mercury to do her work. For now he would sit, and think. Elbows upon his knee's, his body leaned forward and chin propped up upon folded hands. Scarlets stared at that body on the ground as he tried to level

Now that she'd finished, it was Ami's turn to figuratively step aside - she stayed where she was, but sat in a kneeling position, letting herself rest after the expenditure of power and effort - and let the two Uchihas talk

Re: Paj-Tessera || Sasuke -> Merc -> Itachi ->

So, that is what the younger Uchiha wanted to hear. Some sort of self-desire to hear that he had killed Itachi. How he must have begged for that inner satisfaction that he killed that vessel which was to contain his whole life and how the older Uchiha wanted to laugh in his face at that but it was only replaced with a typical hmph. But Itachi wouldn’t have give in because Sasuke failed. How dare Sasuke was to die before the younger was to kill the other and yet how shameful it was that Itachi had failed to protect him as he swore to himself that he would

Re: Paj-Tessera || Sasuke -> Merc -> Itachi ->

[embalmment]

Heh. If Sasuke could hear his thoughts, which due to the line of their blood and the weakened state of the elder he almost could, than the Uchiha would have had to snipe at his understanding. It seemed that he did indeed misunderstand. There was a chance that Sasuke had done it, but as he had thought over it, if this Itachi was from his world than it was unlikely. He didn't stir from his placement. Hatred lined stark vermillions and strengthened by the second. A violent surge rushed through his body as he saw that scarlet hue. His fingers tenced and the cuff on his wrist flaired up in sparks immediately. The younger inhaled softly

Re: Paj-Tessera || Sasuke -> Merc -> Itachi ->

So Sasuke had failed. She could understand that much from the subtext of their words: if Itachi assumed Sasuke wanted to hear it had been him, then Sasuke had been meant to do it, for some reason or other. And he had not.

Ami would have smirked, but she had changed somewhat from that girl she'd been. Besides, she had some... concern, for the younger Uchiha. Still, they were similar yet again, she and Sasuke. Both of them were destined to fight, meant to destroy, the person who was (was? had been? was? had been? what?) everything to them, the person who could drive them mad

Predictable Sasuke. Always to give himself over to instincts and rapid impulses. And then there was talk of his eye yet there was not a change in his expression. A hand on his face and Sasuke practically towering over him. Does it make you feel better? The older Uchiha mused to himself as a hand moved towards the one that was planted on his face and fingers wrapping around the wrist with the tips digging in slightly at the soft of the skin. He could feel that blood boiling in the younger Uchiha's veins and filled with utter hatred and the inside of Itachi's mouth was bitter and tasted like vile

[embalmment]

His muscles tenced with it as his body curled over the man below him. His blood warmed and pumped it throughout his veins. You could even feel it in his aura that anyone sensitive to such things would have gagged on it. His eyes, blood drenched and cursed triple-tomoe ringed hues, roared with it to the point where it looked agonizing, and if he dug a little deeper, it was. Such a powerful, destructive, and consuming emotion; hatred. It swallowed you up and stripped you bare of everything. He knew the answer before it was being said. He knew that it was unliekly to be Madara because Madara was dead. This man was older, much older than most of the one's who had come out from their world. If this man was from their world which his gut was screaming that he was than that eye was... Nagi's.

Does it make you feel better? Itachi's fingers asked as they wrapped around his wrist. No, Sasuke's stomach responded as it tightened rock solid and his eyes screwed shut for a moment trying so hard to will himself out of this. He would not let the

Ami took in the scene and its information impassively. She was one of the very few people in the world who truly saught information for its own sake - and she was neutral to most worlds.

She almost could have smiled as Sasuke forcibly calmed himself. Yes, she'd seen that before, on someone else, on that man when he was truly bloodthirsty but prudence demanded staying his hand. Sasuke had a strong will. He also had pain, and she found she didn't like seeing that, would prefer that he wasn't hurt.

At Sasuke's thanks, she bowed her head very slightly in polite acknowledgment. He was leaving?

Ami's eyes shifted back to Itachi. He would need rest, and eventually to move to the Infirmary probably.

That isn't where Sasuke belonged, not above him, not kneeling down with fiercely cruel eyes that would lose control at any moment, not when the older Uchiha's fingers were wrapped around strong bone...not when Sasuke proved nothing to gain such a pleasure but only took advantage of it, pathetic, to take a used positioned, even his son was stronger but deep in his mind were soft subtle whispered that repeatedly apologised for Sasuke, sorry for not saving him but with each little word that mentally pierced him the grip on the pale white wrist tightened slightly until the younger pulled away.

No, was the answer the older felt as the other's stomach coiled sickly and Itachi frowned. Not happy that your son surpassed you? Itachi mused once again, as though he was trying to force thoughts into the other's mind with a cold tone, almost mocking, almost provoking, urging the younger to kill him whilst weak as he would not have another chance. He shook and Itachi didn't respond but there was satisfaction in the slight movements, to still
