About trying to get castmates... Brat's in denial and being a jerk about it.

[beforethedarkness]

Putting this thing up was pointless last month, and it's pointless now. Face it, no one wants to come. I don't even want to be there. I want to go back to train so I can kill him. I don't need another reason.

But as long as I'm stuck there, I don't want anyone else there. I'm doing fine without them. And I don't miss them.

[Well. Whatever Sasuke says on the subject, Itachi doesn't doubt in the slightest that he would love to see his friends from home again. Of course, he himself isn't one of them, and in his opinion the best thing right now would be not to bother his little brother. But here he was. Sometimes he found himself thinking regretfully of the fact that kneeing his Mun in the face wasn't possible.]

...You have given up your training, otouto?

[beforethedarkness]

[He's about to say that he hasn't, even if he can really only train his Taijutsu at the moment he misses his chakra big bro. But... Give him a second. The sudden rush of emotion that Itachi brings is pretty overwhelming after all, and there is only one word he can get out coherently.]

You.

[He's ready for this reaction, and in a way he's pleased to get it, but. Well, it hurts as well. Not that anyone could ever tell from looking at him.]

Me.

And I am the latest ever.

[He doesn't even get another word before Sasuke launches himself at Itachi, fully intending to just strangle or gouge out his eyes or do something that would cause the elder's life to end. Okay, sure, he doesn't have his jutsu. But neither does Itachi right? Right?

And like hell he's going to let this opportunity go to waste.]

fft, it happens to all of us.

[Not this time, little one. He has yet to be robbed of his jutsu, nor will he let you kill him today. You have growing and training to do before he will consent to leaving you unguarded.]

...Foolish little brother.

[He will simply catch Sasuke's wrists and twist them behind his back.]

In your current state you cannot lay a finger on me. Not even you can be stupid enough to think you have a chance. So why is it that you have stopped your training?

[He squeezes Sasuke's wrists harder, forcing himself to cause pain to the boy.]

...You still hate me, do you not? Could it be you are at your limit already?

[beforethedarkness]

[There's the barest hint of a quiver at the tight grip, but it doesn't seem to stop him from struggling as hard as he can to try and free himself. He won't give in, he can't!]

I haven't stopped my training! I won't stop until you die!
