Itachi's Point of view (for entire story)
**U.U** These are page breaks, new scene indicators
I am at work.
I shouldn't be at work, I should be on the other end of the telephone, with Kyuubi, looking after him. Not here in this wretched office worring myself sick.
He's coughing, I can hear it in the background of mine and Sasu's conversation.
"He's not too bad now Itachi," My little brother tells me. I only feel guilt,
"the coughing is driving him crazy, but he's not dying-"
A particularly nasty coughing fit from the red haired man in the background, begs to differ.
"Sasuke," I begin to say. I can't leave work right now, the press is outside, waiting to be briefed about the latest security threats against me and my little brother. But if I can't be there with Kyu...
"Sasuke, call Kakashi to go home and make sure everythings alright until I can get away, it'll only be for an hour," I flip open my planner to look up the silver haired man's number
"He did say he was willing to help in any-"
"NO." Kyu's voice is croaked and raw. I presume that I am on loud speaker, if he can hear what I just said.
"I don't (cough cough) need a baby (cough) sitter (cough cough)-" I cringe at the sound of his coughing fit, it sounds so painful.
"Kyu, Sasuke needs to get to his exams in 20 minutes and Naru's not available, I wouldn't suggest Kakashi if there were anyone else. I'll be home in an hour, I promise, it's just untill then."
"well-" "NO!" "No! (cough)" Kyu and I both cut Sasuke off before he can say it.
"You're not missing (cough cough, rattle?) your exam just 'cos i got a cold!"
"He's right Sasu, you need to get to your exam, I'll call Kakashi."
I can hear my fox grumbling back at the house, it sounds like those two are having a private conversation, muffled by a hand/shirt/pillow?
"Hn." Sasuke says into his phone, after a few moments.
"Yes little brother?" I say back, a little bitchy. Well, I am rather stressed right now, and I don't appreciate being left out of the loop.
"Okay, heres the deal," The spawn of emo starts, (gosh I'm in a bad mood, I realy need to see my Kyu bear), "Kyu will take his new medication, and lie on the couch for the hour that I am not here, until you arrive, and will not move an inch, and will promise to call you if there is an emergancy,"
I sigh heavliy, while my little brother continues to retell the sexy foxes demands.
"and in return, you will stop stressing, make the public speach, and get home with out calling in the navey, army, and airforce for just a stupid cough. Deal?"
Kyu knows me too well, he knows that I'm worried, and that I won't think of anything else utill I see him with my own two eyes. Since the security breaches, I've been so tens. It's just that, I can't loose him...
"Tachi?"
"Alright, I concede to this, deal. BUT, you are not to move ONE INCH, you hear me Kyu, and if you start to cough and can't get enough air then-"
...Dialtone...Oh. . He did not just hang up on me!
That Kyuubi. He knew I would prattle on and work myself up and worry. Ha! So he's signled Sasu to hang up on me.
I've heard that two people, when close, can be on the same wave length, but it sure is anonying sometimes.
I can hear Kyuubi's voice scolding me, in his deep, jovial voice, 'Will you stop your worring already! Your worse than my little brother is about Sasuke! You need to learn to not stress so much, it's not good for you Tachi.'
I can't help but have a small smile on my face, as I make my way done to the confernece room. In only half a year, he's become the little voice in my head.
**U.U**
Since the latest security breaches from Orochimaru's cronies, our little family has migrated to kakashi's quaint little cottage. It's a little way out of the city, and too a passerby, it looks inocent enough. But in reality, it could stand for the safest house in the country, with security cameras everywhere, finger print, eye scanning, voice recognition technology. The whole works. No one goes in or out of this place, without all of us knowing about it.
I was suprised by the amount of precautions used by a seemingly humble, quiet, lazy man. But when we turned up on his door step, after being electronicaly alerted that Kyu and Naru's apartment had been broken into, I was relieved by the 'over-the-top' security measures. It was one of few things that make me feel safe here, though with everything that's been happening lately, I can't deny I'm on edge.
Leaving Kyuubi here by himself, whilst still ill, has not helped my nerves.
I put my bags down on the hallway table and kick off my shoes quickly, I know that i won't calm down until I see kyu's face, until I know that he's alright.
I don't need to look for him long, I see him standing with his back to me in the kitchen. Wearing two tea towels, notted at their corners to make a skirt/loincloth?
Thats...very hot.
**U.U**
My first thought is; thats a very delicious sight to come home from work to. My second thought; he dosn't look well, even if he's humming happily. He's swaying and looks clammy. Third thought; he's wearing tea towels, what kind of drugs did Sasu give him? After thought of this, where would Sasuke get drugs from? Another thought that i have, is that he's not on the couch where he promised. But my next thought, is, that he is swaying, and falling, and never has an Uchiha moved so fast.
I smooth my hand over his shockingly bright red hair, while straightening us both up to a stand. Now I notice that his hair is slightly damp, and his shoulders are moist and covered in dropplets of swet. He looks as though he's just had a shower, though from the sticky feel of his skin and the smell, I know it's sweat, I know he's not well.
I push the spikey bangs out of his face, he's out cold. He's heavy, but i manage to carry him up the stairs to our room. My mind is reeling, I'm no longer miffed that he moved from the couch, now I'm in overprotective crazy boyfriend mode.
I tuck him into bed (after much effort), and now he looks so voulnable. Like anyone could come in here, at this moment and hurt him, or take him away from me.
I leave him in his bed, and walk half way down the stairs, and sit. It hasn't been that long since we first met, since our first kiss, sincer our first...He's become my whole world, well, asides from my little devil of a brother. And even Naru too, he's become important to me, in such a short time. I almost feel as though I'm betraying the memory of my parents, by building myself a new family. Well, that's just stupid, I know Mum would be thrilled that Kyu and I are finally together. As for Father. Well I think he would be proud of how Sasuke and I have picked ourselves up after these hard times and shown the world how Uchiha's do it.
**U.U**
"Tachieeeeeeeeeeeee!" Oh dear god! I may or may not have just had a heart attack. How can such a sick, clumsy man sneak up on me like that (Uchiha pride out the window).
He's still wearing the tea towels, but it's the serious look on his face that has me worried.
"Kyu, whats wrong, why are you-" He cuts me off by standing up to his full hight (still swaying a tad). "You has to come with us Tachieeeee." It's a serious tone, but his words make me cringe (does no one know correct grammar these days). "whats going on Kyu, Go where? Has there been another Breach?"
I'm starting to get worried now, did I leave the front door unlocked, did someone follow me? Are we in danger? My heart rate skyrockets, but it stops once the next sentance leaves my sexy fox's mouth.
"WE"RE GOING TO CANDY MOUNTAIN TACHIEEEEEEEEEE! COME WITH US!"
That...is not what I was expecting. Not in the least.
