Yes I agree that Itachi cares for Sasuke.

First, he did not kill Sasuke on 2 occasions which he could have easily done so.

Secondly, Itachi said something along the lines of:

1) "I want you to grow stronger, even if it means hating me."

2) "If you want to kill me, grow stronger."

3) "You cannot defeat me because your hatred is not deep enough."

From all this it's pretty obvious Itachi either still has plans for Sasuke or still regards him as a brother. So, I'll go with the outcome of Sasuke defeating Itachi, but not killing him as he learns that Itachi still cares for him. However, Itachi will still die by either protecting Sasuke/Naruto/Konoha Village or commit suicide by jumping down a cliff/drowning/big explosion or any other form of death where the body is not found so Kishimoto can always get him back due to popular demand.
