Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. If I did, I'd be able to draw Itachi better. =D This is my first shot at an Akatsuki fic, mostly focusing on Itachi as I've really gotten into him as a character. Hope you enjoy it! I will try and update as frequently as I can!
Chapter 1
"Kisame."
"Yeah Itachi-san?"
"What is that doing on the table?"
"What is what doing on the table?
"That."
"Dunno. It's probably Hidan's."
"Hidan left that on the table. The table where we eat."
"Does that really surprise you?"
"No."
"Just eat around it. That's what I'm doing." Kisame gave a shrug before pushing his chair back and rising from the table. "Pain-sama will take care of it later, more than likely."
Itachi's frown deepened. He stood in the doorway of the kitchen, unmoving for a good few moments before moving towards the cupboard where the limited food supply was kept. A purple nailed hand reached out, snagging his cereal of choice before moving to get a bowl and a spoon. Onyx eyes warily watching the thing sprawled on the table as if it could move at any moment.
"What's that, un?" Deidara's voice came at Itachi's right side, though the Uchiha didn't look up as he poured his cereal into the bowl.
"What's it look like."
"Huh. I thought Pain-sama told Hidan he wasn't allowed to do that anymore, un."
"He did." Kakuzu's voice was now added to the fray, which actually caused Itachi to glance up a bit. "I'm deducting the cost it's going to take to clean up this mess from his pay."
"Fuck! It's not fucking mine!" Hidan protested, "And you can't do that shit to me anymore, Kakuzu."
"Watch me. I'm taking off another fee for having to listen to you."
"#*(#)!"
"It's still alive, un."
"See I told you it wasn't fucking mine!"
"You owe the swear jar 200 Ryo, Hidan."
"#*$%#(#)#."
"300."
Itachi sighed, cereal momentarily forgotten as he turned, finding everyone in the room staring at the thing on the table. As he looked closer, he could tell that it was moving. It was also a woman. A woman with hair the color of a raven's wing and very little clothing. Scraps from what Itachi could tell.
The question remained, what was this woman doing on their dinning room table.
"Shouldn't just leave it there, un."
"Don't fucking look at me unless you want me to kill it."
"When is Pain-sama due back?" Kakuzu glanced towards Kisame.
Kisame sighed and rubbed the back of his neck, "Heh, not for a week yet. Him, Konan, and Zetsu are still scouting that one jinjuriki and had to make a stop regarding a potential new member to the organization. Right Itachi?"
"Hn." Itachi gave a slight nod.
"I suppose I can see if there is a bounty on this woman," Kakuzu glanced towards the table again, before heading wordlessly towards the door.
"Hey! HEY! Kakuzu! Wait up! You're not leaving me here with these asshats!" Hidan shouted angrily, moving quickly in the direction Kakuzu had gone.
Deidara eyed the table before glancing back at Kisame and Itachi, "You can deal with this, un. I've got better things to do."
"Well, Itachi, what do you want to do with her?" Kisame asked, eyes trailing after Deidara for a moment before looking towards his partner, "Entertainment?"
"No. Until Pain says what is to be done with her or Kakuzu finds a bounty on her head, I see no point in it. You found her on the table, find some clothes for her and then head out to the town as planned. I'll see what I can get out of her while your gone."
"Right..." Kisame gave a shark toothed grin before moving towards the table to sling the woman over his shoulder. "I'll leave her in your room before I head out."
The moment Kisame left the room, Itachi gave a sigh. Eyes still trailing after his partner and the woman he carried.
It was only for a split second, but he had caught a look at her face. There was no mistaking it. Itachi knew who the woman was.
Uchiha Kohana
Uchiha Shisui's lover.
Author note: I had a couple of people telling me what should be on the table. Though the best was my husband's suggestion: Orochimaru!
Hope you like this. First time writing Akatsuki, but I had a lot of fun! Next chapter hopefully soon.
