In the middle of a fantasy
A/N: This story came straight from my mind. I know that a lot of people must've already tried this, but I wanted to try it too. I found this pairing while I was watching a Naruto episode in jetix; the part where Itachi and Kisame fought Kakashi, Kurenai and Asuma. Then it hit me: what about Kakaita/Itakaka?! Another crazy pairing has been added to my list! It seemed totally cute, now that I think about it.
Anyway, this takes place during the chunin exams, after Sasuke got that mark and before he met Itachi again. Itachi and Kisame come to Konoha sooner than they should. :) Enjoy!
Warnings: Yaoi, torture, AU and some spoilers. Possible (but not likely) sexual content.
More detailed summary: Kakashi has been sent on a mission without his team, assigned by the third. (Sasuke and Naruto are still in Konoha and Sakura isn't a medical ninja yet.) His mission goes awry when on his path he meets Itachi and his partner Kisame. Because Kakashi knows of the Akatsuki (thanks to Jirayia) and Itachi thinks it's best if no one will get the information from Kakashi, the Akatsuki members take Kakashi back to the lair. Leader orders Itachi to take Kakashi to a cell and extract any information useful to them.
As the days pass and Itachi uses constantly his tsukiyomi sharingan on Kakashi, finally they both start to feel their mental, as well as their physical state slowly crumple.
Chapter 1 – A mission gone awry

"Your team's in the middle of the chunin exams, you can't take them." Iruka told firmly to the other man before him. "Besides, it's only a mission where you have to extract some information, it wont take that long." Iruka smiled, but it did nothing to help the copy-nin in front of him.
Kakashi sighed and scratched the back of his head. "Can I at least take another jounin? It would be easier." Iruka looked through some papers and after a few moments he shook his head.
"Since no one wants to miss anything of the chunin exams, then there's only Gai left... he was one of the two who was willing to go on a mission right now. Although I think it's pointless that people fear that they'll miss anything. The genin are still training and after a few months do they start the actual fighting." He replied, placing the papers back into a correct order, "You could take Gai, but since it's a mission where you have to get information, then it would be better if there weren't that much people."
"Never mind then, I'd rather go alone than go with that vegetable. Okay, I will go and pack my things and then leave." Kakashi said, his eye arching into a smile as he poofed out of the room.

Kakashi sighed as he finally got out of the Konoha's borders. He'd given Sasuke his last minute instructions on how he should practise the Chidori. He had a last-minute rock-paper-scissor competition with Gai. And he had to wrestle with Naruto who wanted to come along with him and fortunately he'd won (Not really, he just poofed away when Naruto got too annoying). His back still hurt from when Naruto surprise-tackled him to the ground. The boy sure lived up to his nick-name; the number one knuckle-headed ninja of surprising people.
He mentally checked everything he needed to know about the mission and picked up his pace. He needed to go to the sound country to get some information on Orochimaru. Sounds easy, right? Wrong! He had to make sure no one, absolutely no one saw him go towards that place, because you can never be too careful. He then had to get information of the place where Orochimaru was. And then infiltrate it somehow. Kakashi had experience on these things and he knew that B ranked missions that sounded easy, were everything but easy.
He wouldn't get there with just one night and getting ambushed was one of the many options in his head that could happen. Good thing I have the sharingan AND I'm a former ANBU member, Kakashi thought with a smile. He didn't really worry about missions and he didn't do so on this one either. It was just another mission. No need to worry... no problems.
Kakashi just kept walking, watching the nature around him. A bird flew above him, there was no wind anywhere, a river ran somewhere nearby, a leaf fell to the soft grass below...
Kakashi stopped walking and turned to stare at the tree where the leaf had fallen from. An enemy? This close? That means that they had wanted to infiltrate Konoha.
"Come out, I know you're there." He finally decided to shout out. Better him than Konoha. His eye widened though, when there appeared two men before him. One of him he recognized as Kisame Hoshigaki, because of the blue skin that he saw under the hat. But his eyes stayed on the other, shorter form... with red eyes.
Sharingan... Kakashi slowly thought, his face immediately contorted into seriousness, but his head buzzed with questions.
"Kakashi-san..." Itachi slowly said, as if to get every ounce of Kakashi's attention, even though that wasn't necessary anymore.
"Itachi. I'm surprised you dared to come so close to Konoha again after what you did here, after what you did to Sasuke." Talking to a S class criminal wasn't new to him, but talking with the Uchiha who wiped out the entire Uchiha clan, excluding Sasuke... well, that's a new one to him.
"Kakashi-san... we don't want to hurt anyone. We're just looking for something and we know that it's here." His voice was still blank, emotionless.
"Want me to get rid of him, Itachi?" Kisame asked with a toothy grin. Itachi didn't even spare a glance at the other and said, "No, your way is unefficient. The noise you would cause would make many ANBU members to come instantly. And we don't want to make any unnecessary mess here."
Kakashi was silent the whole conversation; he was thinking. I mean, who wouldn't start wracking his brain when coming face to face with Uchiha Itachi?! He knew that even Naruto would start using his under-used brain for some sort of a plan, no matter how unuseful it'd be against the Uchiha.
The chidori? Oh come on, Kakashi, you can do better than that... Summoning jutsu? No, that would only delay my death and wouldn't do any damage to the enemy either. My nin-dogs would probably be taken on by Kisame and be killed too. But then what?!
He quickly pulled his hitai-ate up to reveal his sharingan. But... if he truly was gonna be taken out, he was gonna at least die fighting.
"I guess we do have to do some useless fighting, eh Itachi?" Kisame snickered. "But since you wont let me fight, then I'll just relax and enjoy the show..." He went and sat down by a tree, relaxing fully, showing no signs of getting back up to fight.
Kakashi's attention now closed in on only Itachi. Well, if he'd truly be attacked by Kisame behind his back, then he'd at least spot his movement before he'd get to even touch him with that... thing.
"Kakashi-san, have you trained that sharingan eye well?" Itachi asked slowly.
What? Kakashi thought. "Enough to beat you." He took out a kunai and ran towards the Uchiha.
Itachi dodged the kunai throws easily by sidestepping all of them, which only made Kakashi more annoyed and angry. But he kept himself cool; if he'd let anger take control of him, then the winner of the fight would be obvious.
He suddenly felt (rather than saw the shadow) a figure behind him, ready to hit him with something. He quickly dodged the kunai and kicked the shadow clone in the stomach, making it disappear. But the few seconds that he didn't pay attention to the other, that had been his mistake, and he knew it himself too. He just couldn't do anything about it anymore. But it seemed like Itachi hadn't take advantage of that few seconds at all, he was still standing there, staring at him.
"Do you know why the Uchiha clan is feared by all, Kakashi-san?" Itachi murmured quietly, so quietly, that Kakashi had to strain his ears to even hear any of the sentence.
"I could ask you if you know why I'm feared by all." Kakashi mentally chuckled at his own joke. No need to be so tense in the middle of a fight, no matter who you're fighting with.
Itachi narrowed his eyes and Kisame chuckled. "Man, he got you good, Itachi."
Itachi was quiet for a moment, but then... a smirk. And Kakashi knew that he was in trouble. And he was right. Of course he was right. He was always right.
"For the next three days you will feel nothing but pain, Kakashi-san." The smirk disappeared, before the sky turned red and the clouds turned black. That was what he saw, before he felt immense pain, caused by the lone figure in front of him. Pain, like he'd never felt before. Each and every sword that was pushed into him, felt eleven times more horrible than any sword he'd ever felt pushed through his limbs.
"Kakashi-san, this is pain." Itachi quietly said and slowly plunged two more swords in to the other man's chest.

Kakashi fell to his knees after the whole ordeal. The tsukiyomi... he gasped for breath. Every blade that had sunken into the depths of his body, he remembered them all. He remembered each and every one of them clearly, especially the ones that had been pushed near his heart. For some reason, Itachi hadn't pushed any sword through his heart and he was glad for that. He was sure that he would've given up then.
"Wh... What... are you here... for?" He couldn't help but gasp for air, that experience had been truly painful. And his mind was really weak right now. He could barely move his arm anymore.
"We're after the Yondaime's legacy."
Kakashi's eyes widened, but he willed himself to relax. "You're... not working... alone... You're working for an organization... called Akatsuki..., am I right."
Itachi's eyes widened briefly and Kisame stood up. "Kisame, we're taking Kakashi-san back to the base."
Kisame quickly moved towards Kakashi. Kakashi froze; he was too weak to fight back, but he wasn't going to let them take him. Who knows what they'll do.
As Kisame approached, Kakashi saw his vision blurring. NO! I'm not going to give up.
He slowly and rather sluggishly took out a kunai; which only made Kisame smirk. "Now now Kakashi. You don't want to get hurt anymore, do you?"
Kakashi ignored the remark and stayed on his guard. When Kisame slowly extended his arm to capture Kakashi, the copy-nin slashed him with the kunai. But, since he'd been too weak, he'd barely scratched the surface of the fish-man's skin. Blood barely oozed out of the cut and Kisame smirked again. "You're too weak to fight back. But, you'll be a nuiscance if I'd let you be awake the whole trip back to the base."
Suddenly Kakashi felt pain in the back of his head and he felt himself lose consciousness.
