Two day had passed since Kisame had woken, five since the injury. Itachi was growing more and more frustrated as the days passed, mainly because of Kisame's constant complaining about being stuck in a drafty cave and unable to move. Itachi finally had enough of Kisame's whining about needing to walk and stretch his legs that he didn't stop the bigger man when he attempted to sit up and stand for the hundredth time that day. Seeing that Itachi made no move to stop him, Kisame walked out of the cave, slowly because of the pain still present throughout his chest, and proceeded to the river to bathe.

After an hour of waiting for Kisame to return, Itachi began to worry if he had gotten hurt again or if he was simply to tired to walk back on his own. After another 20 minutes he decided it was a good time to refill the canteens and walked out of the cave with them in hand.

The first thing he noticed was Kisame's cloak, which he had thrown over himself before he left the cave instead of putting on his clothes, was laying folded on a rock at the river bank. Itachi looked up and down the river but saw no other sign of where Kisame had gone. Kneeling to refill the canteens, he kept looking back and forth, hoping for some clue as to where his partner had gone. Setting the canteens aside, he walked down the riverbank. He walked for five minutes before he finally found Kisame. He was laying draped over a rock in the middle of a wide section of the river. The upper half of his body was out of the water, chest glistening with the water that was quickly drying on his shin, eyes closed, basking in the warm sun of the late spring afternoon. His body below the waist was submerged in the water.

Itachi stopped and crossed his arms, watching the water swirl around Kisame's waist. He was so hypnotized by the sight that he didn't notice that Kisame had risen up to lean back on his elbows and was watching him. Deciding he wanted to see just how much of an effect he could have on the young Uchiha, Kisame slid more of his body up onto the rock until the water was swirling around his thighs. Itachi's eyes widened as he followed the movement and saw that Kisame's body was slowly growing in arousal at the unexpected attention.

Itachi ran his eyes up Kisame's body, fighting not to look back down to where his eyes truly wanted to be. Then his eyes fell on Kisame's face and he met his eyes staring back at him. The color drained from Itachi's face and he turned around to walk back to the cave.

"Leaving so soon, Itachi?" He laid back down and put his arms under his head. "Why don't you join me? The water feels nice today."

Itachi stopped and looked back over his shoulder. The muscles in Kisame's chest and stomach bunched and jumped as Kisame chuckled softly. He was truly enjoying the attention Itachi was giving him. Itachi's eyes traveled back down his body and his cheeks slowly pinked when his eyes fell back to Kisame's fully hardened member. He was stretched hard and tight across his stomach. Itachi's body ached with the need to run his hands over all those hard muscles and feel Kisame's body pressed against his. His body was telling him to get in the water and go to the other man, but his mind screamed at him to turn back around and go back to the cave. In his confusion, all he could do was stand there and stare.

Kisame watched as thoughts battled in Itachi's head. The boy, who was always calm and cold on the outside, completely in control of his emotions, was now having an internal struggle so violent that every thought he was having was playing across his face. Just the knowledge that Itachi was even considering his offer made him throb with need.

"Itachi, come here." Kisame sat up and leaned back on his hands.

Hearing Kisame's voice snapped Itachi out of his thoughts. He looked up into his face when he repeated himself. Slowly, Itachi walked forward, across the water, until he was standing in front of the other man. He looked down at Kisame, his face once again schooled into cold neutrality, his hands hanging loose at his sides.

Kisame reached up and grabbed the front of Itachi's cloak, pulling him down roughly. Itachi stumbled, pulling his hands on Kisame's shoulders but keeping his feet under him. Kisame put a hand on the back of Itachi's neck and pulled him down to press their lips together. Kissing the boy passionately, Kisame slid his hand down his neck and pulled open his cloak, running his hand over Itachi's ribs. Itachi jerked and moaned softly as Kisame's thumb ran over his nipple, causing the rough material of his net shirt to bite into the sensitive skin.

Kisame pulled back from the kiss and laughed softly as Itachi leaned forward, not wanting him to stop. "Take your cloak off, Itachi." He grinned as the boy immediately followed his order. Itachi wasn't one to follow orders so easily and Kisame was enjoying the power. Wrapping his hands in Itachi's shirt, he pulled him forward until he bent his knees and straddled Kisame's lap. Once he had the boy where he wanted him, Kisame wrapped his arms around him, burying his face in his neck. Itachi shivered and locked his arms around Kisame's neck, moaning softly as Kisame ran his sharp teeth over his skin.

Itachi sucked a breath between his teeth as Kisame stood, waist deep in water, and turned them around, laying Itachi on his back over the rock. Balling his hands in the shirt again, Itachi watched as the muscles in Kisame's arms bunched and tore off his shirt. Kisame stared hungrily down at Itachi's bare chest for a moment before leaning forward and running his tongue across his chest from one nipple to the other, causing the boy to ache his back and moan. While his tongue and teeth worked the newly exposed flesh, Kisame's hands worked to remove Itachi's belt.

Itachi's mind was pulled roughly out of its stupor when he felt Kisame's hand pulling his pants off. He grabbed Kisame's hands and sat up. "Wait. What are you doing?"

"What does it look like I'm going, Uchiha?" Rolling his eyes up to look at Itachi's face, he ran his tongue along the skin at the waist of his pants.

Itachi's hands fell back to his sides as Kisame slowly pulled his pants off and threw them up onto the rock beside him. His mind was slipping into an arousal induced stupor caused by Kisame's tongue on his skin. He was so distracted that he didn't realize there was anyone watching them until the last voice he wanted to hear in a moment like that cut through the sound of his own moaning.

"Well well, would you look at all that pretty white skin, hmm. Should we leave you two alone?"

Itachi sat up to quickly that Kisame fell back into the water, soaking him and his clothes in a wave of water. He pulled his wet cloak over him and glared pure death at Deidara and Sasori as the blonde's clay bird landed on the river bank.

Sasori jumped off and crossed his arms over his chest. "We went to the cave and found it empty. I thought I told you that Kisame needed to stay off his feet for three more days, Itachi."

Kisame stood up and ran a hand through his hair. "What the hell are you doing here? I thought you had an assignment."

"We did. Finished early, hmm. Leader told us to stop by again and make sure Sasori's antidote was working out and take the scroll you were sent to get back with us since you wouldn't be back before us."

"The scroll is in the cave in my bag. Go get it and leave. As you can see, I am fine. The cure worked, which I'm sure you knew it would." Kisame sat on the rock between Itachi and the two other men, completely comfortable with his nudity. Itachi had yet to do anything but glare murderous intent at the blonde standing with his arms crossed and his hip leaning against his bird.

Deidara turned his head to the side and ran his eyes over Kisame before turning and climbing back onto the back of the clay creation. After Sasori settled in behind him he looked at Itachi and smiled. "I don't remember you being so submissive, Itachi. But it was nice to see all that beautiful flesh again, hmm." With one more look over Kisame, the bird rose into the air and headed back toward the cave.

Kisame turned and looked at Itachi. "When did that bastard ever see you nude?"

Itachi's jaw tightened as he grabbed his clothes and stood, turned to walk farther down the river, away from the cave and away from Kisame.

Kisame grabbed Itachi's elbow and tried to turn him to face him. "Tell me."

"No. It isn't your business." He tried to pull his arm back but Kisame had it in a vice grip.

"I think what just happened between us makes it my business."

"I don't see how. Nothing happened. Something may have if we weren't interrupted, but nothing did."

Kisame shook his head and let go of Itachi's arm. "If that is how you feel, then I wont bother doing it again." He stood and walked to the shore and began the walk back to the cave.

Itachi watched him disappear into the trees before turning and walking the other way. He was more confused then he had ever been in his life. He needed to be alone to try and figure out what he was going to do. But how long it would take, he had no idea.
