Songbirds
Chapter 1: Revelations/Teenagers
"KKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!" was bellowed loudly
A silver-haired man clad in a silk black dress shirt with the first two buttons unfastened and black slacks flinched, accidentally dropping his small porcelain cup. He groaned through the black cloth mask, which was covering half his face, as it disintegrated on the carpeted floor.
At that same moment, the door was opened none too gently, revealing an obviously pissed off teenager. She had the most vibrant crimson hair that almost reached the back of her knees. She was clad in a long and baggy blue shirt and black skinny jeans with blue/black high-tops on. Her coal-colour eyes were narrowed to slits as she gave the middle-aged man a death glare that promised impending doom.
"Oh love, did you call me?" he said, statement dripping in sarcasm, with a hidden fake smile.
"Noooooooo! Not at all! What the HELL made you think that?!" she hissed sarcastically through tightly clenched teeth.
"Oooh! So you DIDN'T just scream my name? Okay then!" he smiled
A few veins pulsated on the teen's forehead as she cracked her white knuckles and trudged over to the man who would soon need medical assisstance
A high-pitched yelp and opened can of Whup-Ass later…
Kakashi moaned painfully as he rubbed the ice pack on his swollen cheek "What was that for…?" he whined, childishly
"How. Dare. You." she simply said, now seated atop the man's big mahogany desk, legs and arms crossed
"What did I do??"
"How DARE you make me record with him!!" she yelled
Kakashi blinked, apparently clueless of his actions
He blinked again…
And again...
And again…
Until……..
"Ooooooooooooohh!!" the silver-haired male exclaimed in realization, making the teen roll her eyes "You mean Uchiha Sasuke?"
"No shit, Sherlock…."
"Oh come now, Nichira-koi! It won't be half as bad as you think it'll be!" he assured with the most honest smile he could muster
"Hn!" she grunted, jerking her head to the side
Kakashi smirked and spun around in his chair until he was facing away from the female "Hmm….. Is it that you have a little crushon said Uchiha…?"
He raised an eyebrow as he was given silence as a response. The smirk grew a little lewd "I'm right, huh?? I knew it! I knew you liked Sasuke-!"
He was cut short when he and his chair were spun back around roughly, coming face-to-face with a now ferocious Nichira.
"I'm sorry…would you like to repeat that…..Hatake Kakashi?" she asked through clenched teeth, hand balled into a tight fists and killer intent dancing dangerously in her deep onyx eyes
Kakashi, now scared shitless, knew very well of what the young 16-year-old was capable doing
(And had the medical records to prove it)
"N-n-n-never mind…" he whimpered, smiling sheepishly
"Good. I'll be back later. Matsuri and Haku asked me to go to the mall with them. Want me to bring you anything?" Nichira stated, making her way to the door
"Hmm… Nothing I can think of…. Thanks for offering though. But bee back by at least 7. We're meeting with Uchiha and his bro-nager then." He told her
"Okay. Then I'll return by 9 at the earliest"
"Nichira…" the silver-haired man said in a warning tone of voice
"Oh, Fine! I'll be back in time for the bloody meeting"
Kakashi smiled behind his mask "Thanks and have fun!"
"Hai, hai. Jaa ne (yes, yes. See ya)" she said with a wave before finally leaving
The man let out a sigh as he leant back in his big chair and placed his hand on his forehead
"Man, do teenagers scare the living shit outta me…." He groaned
Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click…..
"Otouto..." a deep- baritone voice called over the irritating clicks.
Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Clickety- Click…..
"Sasuke..."
Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click …..
"Uchiha Sasuke, I swear to Kami I will break that damned phone in half if you don't stop texting. Same applies to you Suigetsu."
The latter person, clad in a gray muscle-shirt, light coloured baggy jeans and clean white sneakers, grunted "Do it and I'll have you regret even thinking about it, Itachi" he threatened, flipping some of his snow-coloured hair out of his face then went back to his phone
Said man finally snapped and arose from where he was seated. He walked up to the younger two and seized both phones and walked back to the large fish aquarium.
Suigetsu's light-coloured eyes widened "You WOULDN'T!!" he growled in unison with the younger raven.
And both electronic devices were submerged in the water.
"Now that I have your attention," Itachi stated calmly, ignoring the barrage of profanities that were thrown at him by both teens "I have to inform you that Hatake Kakashi and his client Gokocho Nichira will be here at 7 this evening to discuss the album you two will be recording together"
His younger brother raised an eyebrow "Gokocho…? That illegal chick that is also known as 'Tokyo's Songbird'?"
"Yes, and Sasuke don't call her 'illegal'. That vulgar comment was unnecessary"
"Well, she isn't eighteen yet, so technically he's only speaking the truth" Suigetsu stated, supporting his friend.
"Leave, Suigetsu. Like, NOW" the older raven said trough clenched teeth
"Hn. Fine. Whatever floats your taco" he said before leaving and leaving the brothers alone
Itachi sighed and massaged his temples in frustration.
His 19-year-old younger brother just watched him with a blank look on his face "…..what…?"
"I fail to understand how you can be friends with Suigetsu. But that's beside what I'm trying to tell you…"
"Then what is it you're trying to tell me…?"
"Try, and I mean really TRY, not to be a jerk tonight" (Easier said than done, Ita-chan XP)
"Reason being…..."
"Gokocho-san hates you"
"…… Reason being……"
"Oh, please, Otouto-kun! You're not exactly the gentlest person there is"
"All Uchihas as cold-hearted bastards… It runs in the friggen' family" Sasuke stated, reaching into the pocket of his dark and hugging jeans and pulling out his iPod™. "Well, not all…. There is kaa-san, Obito-ojiisan and Onee-chan who aren't as cold as the rest of us…"
The elder of the two brother sweat dropped, amazed at how Sasuke just changed the subject like that
"…………………"
Said young raven smirked "What's wrong, Niisan?" he asked, playing dumb as he put the earphones in place
"………. Just behave, Sasuke"
"Hn…. Hai, hai" he stated with a lazy wave, ending the conversation by turning on his music and walking out of the large office.
Itachi sighed as he made his way to the sofa and set himself down. A moment later, one of the maids came into the office and offered the raven a glass of water and aspirin.
She smiled sweetly at him "Teenagers, huh?" she commented
He smirked slightly in return after swallowing the two tablets "Yep…. They scare the living shit outta me…"
