Itachi was sitting at Sasuke's house that day he arrived. It was night and it was raining heavily, he was thinking about the death of king Kakashi, about his next plans, about [name]...

'Is she okay? Did Sasuke take care of her?'

Just as he thought of that, he heard a knock on the door, did Sasuke knew he came back? Of course.

Sasuke came in, taking off his cape and putting it close to the fireplace to dry, then took a seat.

"How was your journey?", Sasuke asked, wiping some rain out of his face.

"I did what I went there for, and I got this", Itachi replied, standing up and getting the map then giving it to Sasuke.

"It is a detailed map of the castle, it has all the information we will need to blockade it and enter it", Itachi said, watching his brother analyze the map deeply.

"Do you mind if I take it with me?", Sasuke asked, not taking his eyes off of the map.

"No, it is yours, I know that place very well"

"Thank you"

"Sasuke? Now that king passed away, what will happen?", Itachi asked, the looks on his face showed that he was a bit troubled, and sad.

"To be honest, I'm not sure. It is all up to the queen now, if she changes her mind, then...", Sasuke frailed off, hiding the map inside his clothes.

"What do you suggested we do?"

"We will wait for a while, we will know what she will decide eventually, though I haven't seen her since the crowning ceremony..."

"Sasuke?"

"Yes?"

"If the queen cancels the plan, what will you do? Will you go with me and keep fighting to get back our kingdom or will you stay here?", Itachi asked, seeing his brother close his eyes for a while, to Sasuke, this was a thing he really didn't wish to happen.

"You know, Itachi, from the first day I met you and knew who you are and what happened, I stood by your side and did what I can to help, but if this happens...I'll stay here", he said looking at Itachi.

"Why?"

"I can't break a promise I have made. I promised the king several times to take care of his daughter, he even made me promised him while he was dying, I can't reneged on that promise", Sasuke talked, recalling the last moments he spent with king Kakashi.

"Good choice, Sasuke", Itachi replies with a smile, patting his brother on the shoulder.

"Well now I'll let you sleep and rest, if there is anything new I'll let you know", Sasuke said, standing up and putting on his cape ready to leave, when Itachi stopped him.

"Wait! [Name]...where is she?!"

"She is okay, she must be deep into her sleep, tomorrow you'll see her", Sasuke said with a little smirk, already heaving to the door and opening it.

"Thank you again, Sasuke, for everything"

"You're welcome, so, goodnight"

"Goodnight"

Tye next day, [name] was in her room when she heard a knock on the door, once she opened it, she found it was Sasuke.

"Get ready to leave", he said with no introductions.

"Huh?! Where?", [name] replied, confused.

"Itachi is back, don't you want to see him?!", Sasuke said, seeing the excitement on her face.

"Itachi?!!! Really!!! Of course!!! Just wait a moment I'll put on-"

"No, not now. I'll leave now and come back later at night to take you, it will be better in the darkness"

"Okay, thank you"

"I'll see you later"

Late at night, Itachi was still up waiting for Sasuke and [name], he can't wait to see her and check on her, especially that he knows they don't get along too well.

The door was knocked and Itachi hurried to open it, getting hugged by [name] as soon as she saw him.

"You're back!!! And in one piece!!!", she said with a happy smile, checking him up from head to toe as he chuckled, as Sasuke wished them a goodnight and left soon.

"Yes I did, how are you [name]?!"

"I'm doing very well actually! Especially now that I saw your handsome face"

"Thank you, how was Sasuke to you?"

"Sasuke? He was...actually very kind to me"

"Really?! How?"

"He took me to the palace and was checking on me and making sure I wasn't needing anything"

"Sasuke? Really?", Itachi exclaimed, surprised.

"And guess what!"

"What?!"

"He was buying me oranges every now and then!"

"That's so generous of him, isn't it", Itachi said, smiling kindly.

"Yes! Now let's sit down and you tell me everything you saw there"

"Okay, come on, [name]"
