Silent Victim

Chapter 3

The Man I Love Is My Little Helper

Pein and Itachi spent six days getting to know themselves better. Itachi finally concluded that he'd rather be Pein's slave then the one of a criminal. Even so, he was still very rebellious with Pein. Pein felt as if he became a parent cursed with a stuck up teenager, but at other times he liked Itachi's presence. When he wasn't whining or complaining that is.

Itachi had finally moved in completely in Pein's room. The room was completely different, except for the night stand being at the exact same place, with the picture of Pein and his best friend that was still unknown to Itachi. Itachi had tried to find a way to squeeze out information on her from Pein, but it never worked. Pein simply became quiet when Itachi aborted the subject. Said twenty three year old still didn't catch on that the subject was like a taboo to Pein.

Pein's week off was almost over, he had tomorrow and today off then it was back to work for Yamada industries. He had told Itachi about his week off and then told him a little more about his work over a bowl of instant ramen that Itachi cooked for them.


February 17th, 12:02 pm


"Can I go to your work with you?" Itachi asked as he stuffed his face with noodles.

"No." Pein answered firmly.

Itachi jolted at Pein's answer. "What!? Why!?" He whined yet again.

"Because I don't want my colleagues to know about you…" Pein answered in a mumbled, hoping Itachi didn't hear.

Unfortunately he did. "Are you ashamed of me?" Itachi asked frowning deeply. "You're embarrassed of having a guy slave aren't you?"

"No! It's just…" Pein sighed. He didn't know how to explain to Itachi anything at the moment. "It's complicated…"

"No it's not! All you have to say is yes Itachi you can come to work with me as long as you behave!" Itachi said in rage standing it up violently.

"Itachi I…"

"All I want to do is see what you do as a job! I know you explained it to me but I wanna see for myself!" He said then stomped off to Pein and his room.

Pein buried his face in his hands. He felt like he was married to Itachi and they just got into their first fight. They've fought many times before but it wasn't as bad as this. Itachi was clearly making a big deal out of the situation for nothing…Or was Pein just being unfair and worrying over nothing?

Pein finished eating his noodles slowly as he decided of what to do about it. He had finally come up with something, now he had to find out if Itachi was okay with it. He placed his plate next to the sink then made his way to his room where he found Itachi pouting and rolling on his bed hugging a pillow yet again. Pein still hadn't learned why Itachi did that when he pouting, but now felt it wasn't important to know.

"Itachi?"

Itachi stopped rolling and looked at Pein. "What?" Asked Itachi glaring at his master.

"Do you still want to come to work with me?"

Itachi sat up in a flash, his eyes where huge. "YES!!" He answered.

"Then you're not allowed telling them you're a slave or show them the tattoo on your left arm." Pein said folding his arms over his chest. "And you have to behave."

Itachi smiled widely. "Okay!"

"And you also have to tell me why you wanted to come so bad." Pein added sitting down on his bed.

Itachi blushed and looked away. He shoved his face in the pillow and mumbled the answer. Pein didn't hear because what he said came out as a muffle, therefore he didn't understand.

"If you don't tell me then you're not allowed to come." Pein said.

Itachi fell back against the bed. "But it's embarrassing." He whined blushing madly as he started to roll on the bed again.

Pein tried to hold himself from laughing, Itachi looked so adorable. "I'm counting to three Itachi." Pein warned.

"I'm not a kid." Itachi whimpered.

"1..."

"Hm!"

"2..."

"Okay fine!" Itachi finally gave in. Pein then waited for his response, which never came.

"Th--"

"I DIDN'T WANNA BE ALONE!!" Itachi finally cried out. It was silent after that. Pein couldn't think of any reason of why he wouldn't like being alone. Itachi sighed loudly and started to explain why. "…I'm scared that they'll find me again…"

"You mean your illegal master?"

"Who else!?" Itachi snapped, tears where filling his beautiful eyes. "When I'm around you…I feel safer…"

Pein felt his cheeks flush a little. "U-um…thank you…" Pein said oddly flattered.

"Am I still allowed to go?" Itachi asked hiding his face in the pillow.

Pein laughed ripping the pillow from Itachi's embrace. "Sure you can." He then took a serious face. "But don't wear something like that."

Itachi looked at what he was wearing. A black sleeveless shirt with black leather pants. "What? Does it turn you on?" Itachi purred.

Pein shoved the pillow in Itachi's face before he had the chance to see his blushing face. He loved his little slave so much he had a hard time controlling himself. Many times had he come so close to jump his Itachi but held himself with him breaking willpower. It was a little like now. There he had the man he loved, at his disposal, on his bed. No matter how hard he tried, the idea wouldn't leave his mind.

Itachi finally pushed the pillow from his face then huffed, that was it. He couldn't hold it in anymore. After six days of getting to know someone he fell in love with at first sight, he had to touch him, hold him, kiss him, anything. He just had to do something.

He crawled over Itachi, who stopped squirming and starred at Pein. He blushed a little and looked everywhere but at him. Pein cupped Itachi's cheek with his hand smiling at him sweetly. Itachi blushed darker and felt his heart pound against his chest madly. He opened his mouth to say something but was cut off by Pein's soft lips over his. Itachi's eyes widened feeling his heart skip a beat.

Pein pulled away just as quickly as he started the kiss leaving Itachi to stare at him eyes hazy with an unreadable emotion. Pein blushed madly and got off of Itachi apologizing. Itachi was still lying on the bed trying to come up with words to say besides wow.

The rest of the day was very awkward for them. Itachi tried to aboard the subject so that they could talk about what happened, but every time he did Pein blushed madly and locked himself in a room apologizing over and over again.

The two last days of Pein's break passed slowly with the same awkwardness as the day where it all started. Even when they slept one beside another, Pein never looked at him. He regretted deeply to not have been able to hold himself.


February 19th, 7:12 am


Pein was woken up by Itachi shaking him madly. "Pein!!! When does your work start??? When do we have to leave??? It's now right???" He sounded like an excited child on Christmas eve. "Pein!!! We have to go to your work!!!!"

Pein rubbed his eyes lazily. "Ita…What time is it…?" He moaned as he sat up.

"Almost seven fifteen." Itachi answered.

"SHIIIIIIIIT!!!" Pein screamed as he jumped out of bed, "I FORGOT TO SET UP THE ALARM!!!!"

Itachi watched as his master ran into the bathroom, turn on the shower, run out of the bathroom, slip his pants off then grab his suit placing it on the bed, run back into the bathroom, jump in the shower not bothering to close the door, wash his hair quickly, dry it quickly put his suit on with a minute to spare. Itachi giggles soon turn into a pack of laughter. Pein glared at him.

"I-I'm sorry…It's j-just really f-f-funny!" Itachi said then broke into another fit of laughter.

"Might I remind you that you have to be dressed to come to work with me." Pein said.

Itachi got off the bed then motioned himself. Yes he was dressed, but damn was it hard to resist him yet again. He had a red and black stripped hoodie, a white tee-shirt and black jeans. He was also wearing fishnet wrist bands. He didn't want to even begin thinking what his co-workers would say to him about Itachi.

Itachi grabbed Pein's hand then pulled him out of the room. "We can get to your office first then I'll go buy us some dango with tea." Itachi said smiling.

"Dango in the morning?" Pein asked as he took the lead but not letting go of Itachi's soft feminine hand.

"I like dango." Itachi huffed as they waited after the elevator.

They went down to Pein's car, since he swore he wasn't going to walk ever again and then seated himself in first with Itachi crawling over him to get to his seat. Pein then drove off over to the largest building in downtown with the red letters reading Yamada. Itachi's face was against the window as he starred at the building awe. It was one hell of a big building!

"Where's your office??" Itachi asked.

"At the very top." Pein answered.

"Wooow!!!" Itachi exclaimed.

"How can you be so impressed of the little things?" He asked smirking lightly.

"I've only been around the poor part of town to do some stuff then that's it…" Itachi mumbled.

Pein nodded, he entered the underground parking lot, then parked his car. They then made their way to the to the elevator. Pein pressed the last button on the control panel which happened to be 38. The elevator started to move and Itachi couldn't help but be bothered by the way Pein's hair was. It was still damp and it was almost flat on his head. He couldn't help but try to fix it.

He reached over to Pein's hair making the man jolt and catch his hands. "What are you doing?" Pein asked as Itachi kept trying to reach for Pein's hair.

"You're hair is bugging me! I need to fix it!" Itachi said as Pein's back slammed against the elevator wall.

The elevator stopped but the two didn't realise, only when the doors open did they realise the current position they where in. There position was soon exposed to ten individuals, six where men and four where women. They all blushed in unison.

"We'll take the next one…" A man said then reached in the elevator pressing a button to make the doors shut.

Pein and Itachi starred at the closing door searching for the right words to explain to the situation. When they finally found the right words, it was too late the doors where shut.

"What the hell was that for!? Now the whole office will know I'm gay!" Pein snapped.

"Y-you're gay?" Itachi asked blushing.

"I kissed you didn't I? I think that's one hell of a give away!" Pein said then stopped Itachi again as he tried to reach for his hair. "Didn't I tell you to behave!?"

"I am! Your hair is just bugging me! Let me fix it!!" Itachi whined.

Pein finally let Itachi arrange his hair. He seemed to be having a lot of fun as he did so. Just as the doors where opening again, this time on the 38th floor, Itachi finished. That was good because mister Yamada, Pein's boss, was on the way down. Itachi thought that mister Yamada was rather odd looking for this job. He had long brown hair, green eyes and very tan skin. He looked like a man of power, his black business suit also gave off an aura of a filthy rich man.

Mister Yamada looked at Itachi with an eye of judgement, "Pein who is this boy?" he asked.

"I'm not a boy." Itachi hissed then was slapped behind the head by Pein.

"Excuse him Mister Yamada, his name Uchiha Itachi." Pein answered.

"I think I will excuse his rude attitude, care to tell me his presence here?" Yamada asked.

Pein scratched the back of his head. "He wanted to come to work with me…" Pein mumbled.

"He's far to old to be your son or nephew is he not?" Yamada asked looking at Itachi who glared at him.

Pein looked at Itachi then his boss. "Sir, may I talk with you privately?" Pein asked.

"I think it would be best." Yamada answered then went back to his office.

Pein sighed then brought Itachi over to his closed office. "Don't touch anything, move anything, or do anything but wait here until I get back." Pein ordered then locked the Uchiha inside his office.

Itachi pouted then slumped in Pein's hair crossing his arms over his chest yet again. There where a lot of papers scattered around Pein's office. It bugged him how disorganised it was. If he had this job, everything would be perfectly organised in alphabetical order. The idea that jumped into his mind refused to get out, and maybe if he did it he could come to work with Pein every day, like being an assistant or something like that.

But Pein told me not to touch anything…Itachi reminded himself. He looked at the papers yet again, the temptation was too much to resist. When have I ever listened to him anyways!?

"So he's your new slave?" Yamada asked leaning back in his comfy leather chair.

"Yes sir."

"Honestly Pein, you're the last person I'd think would go buy another slave after what happened to the last one." Admitted Yamada. "May I know why you decided to take this one in?"

"Well it's a long story, and I don't wish to waste your time." Pein said with a nervous smile.

"Nonsense. You're a friend and this is a rather interesting change of events." Yamada said and smiled lightly.

Pein proceeded to tell him how he got lost the day he was given a week off and found Itachi about to get raped. He lied about a part, instead of saying Itachi used to be an illegal slave, he just said that Itachi's old master was killed and so he took him in. Yamada seemed to have bought everything Pein was telling him which was good, but him knowing Yamada, he knew he'd ask this to him again after a couple of days for a while until he was satisfied and sure that Pein wasn't lying to him.

"I see, it's a good gesture of you to do something like that." Yamada said.

"Thank you sir, but there's one thing I'd like to ask you…" Pein said. "It's not work related or money related…It's out of the blue really…"

"Spare me the details, Pein and get to it." Yamada said, clearly he was busy and wanted to get to work soon.

"Do you know of a group called Underground?" Pein asked.

Yamada stayed quiet for a moment and starred at his employee, Pein already knew he was trying to read him to figure out why he was asking such a question. Pein didn't know if he should lie about it or morph the truth a little. Before he had made a decision, Yamada had answered.

"I do."

Pein suddenly felt very uncomfortable. "Mind telling me what they are, or what they do?"

"I hope you're not going to get involved with them." Yamada warned.

"Not at all. I just…"

"Kumori, I don't want to know the reasons. It is not of my importance, I just want to make sure you wont get into trouble." Great. He used his family name. he didn't know aborting the subject would be this serious. "Now to answer your question. Underground is a criminal organisation. They are the Yakuza's rivals and work 'underground'. They aren't big or that well known because they place evidence on the Yakuza and clean up well after doing a good deed. They also don't take work from anyone, it also takes about a month before they respond to anyone's request because during that time, they look over the customer's profile carefully. They also have a lot of illegal slaves, boys or girls they don't care they just want something to fuck."

Pein nodded in comprehension. "Can I know how you know all this?"

"I'd rather not, now go. You have some work to do." Yamada ordered then shooed him off with his hand.

Pein nodded once again and stood up. "Thank you for your time sir."

Pein was off to his office. He was now aware of what Itachi had gotten threw, what kind of people he was surrounded with, he even had an idea of what way they treated him. He felt so bad, and couldn't congratulate himself even more of the decision to make him his own legal slave. He opened his office door and almost screamed in horror at the site displayed before him.

"Pein!" Itachi said turning around with the phone against his ear. "I cleaned up for you! I also booked you three projects…just give me a sec…"

He then twirled on Pein's chair as he kept chatting on the phone with a customer. Pein was speechless, his mind was forcing itself to work properly but it wasn't going so well. He was shaking like a machine with something jammed in it struggling to get it out of its gears. Finally, Itachi hung up and Pein exploded in rage.

"I TOLD YOU NOT TO TOUCH ANYTHING!?" Pein shrieked outraged. "MY OFFICE IS CLEAN, I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU PUT THE PAPERS I HAVE DESIGNS TO WORK, WORK TO DISTRIBUTE!!!"

Itachi smiled. "I took care of that for you!" He said proudly. "The papers in that first draw are the projects along with the customer's expectations in alphabetical order. The ones in the second draws are the objects that you need to order for projects, they already have small notes of which projects they go with. And the third draw are your many designs, that are great might I add, placed in folders for which projects they're for."

Pein starred at Itachi, he still couldn't get what just happened threw his head.

"What about the work for my employees?" Pein asked.

"That pile right there." Itachi said spinning on Pein's chair pointing at an exposed pile of paper on his desk. "So can I be your assistant?"

"…What?" Pein asked.

"I don't want to be alone all day in your apartment." Itachi said. "And since I'm good with organization and charming people I can be of great use."

Pein buried his face in his hands. Itachi looked at Pein worriedly, had he done something wrong? Pein then started to laugh.

"Oh god…" he started, in a laughing tone "What have I done to deserve someone as wonderful as you?"

Itachi grinned in victory but couldn't repress a blush. This was going to be the start of something interesting, as well as fun for the both of them.
