Just Walk Away
By: Silverwolf
Another fight brought the cops. It didn't matter though since Hidan figured the cops were bound to raid his club eventually. The 'watch houses' passed their 'merchandise' around in his club. Kakuzu was in handcuffs.
The cop that latched the cuffs around Kakuzu's wrists reminded Hidan of the teen that sat on his bar yelling 'screw you'. An officer laid out photos he'd collected. Hidan watches as the young officer cuffs around his wrists changes facial expressions. "What? You think you know some of those brats? You should, many of their pictures went across your desks missing."
Itachi passes Hidan to a second officer as he resists the urge to strangle the older male. Several teens are also collected. Some in tears, others are fearful. Itachi watches an officer bag the photos. Another one comes into the area. "That's all the teenagers I found." Itachi growls low as he hears one of the main leaders laugh. "Baby brother must be who you want." Kakuzu continues laughing. "I thought I seen you before. You were younger. Your face was everywhere. You're the one who found mom and dad with their throats cut. It's okay I hear baby brother watched them die." Itachi snatches Kakuzu over towards the bar. "Keep speaking. Tell me more about how you murdered my parents." Kakuzu laughs "Can't, I don't know anymore. I didn't kill them. I just made a purchase that became one hell of a gold mine. He grew up 'real pretty'. Looking at you tells me he'll stay that was for awhile."
Itachi hits Kakuzu. The prisoner spits blood in Itachi's face. An officer snatches Kakuzu away from Itachi. "You okay?" Itachi wipes away the mess without a word. A female officer shakes her head as she sets a picture on the bar. "I guess that's your brother. He kind of looks like you." Itachi looks at her and then the picture. "Sasuke. I promised before if anything happened I'd take care of him." The female tilts her head, "Uchiha, not to start a fight; if you'd been home eight years ago your parents would still be dead. The difference if either you'd be dead also or you'd be one of the youngsters were busing to the hospital for an examination. Realize that before the past eats you alive. Oh, and tell your friends they sent us a hell of a hot spot."

Deidara sits lightly yawning at the bar of 120. Kakuzu still hadn't shown to get him. Sasuke sits on the bar. "I say we just walk away." "No one walks away from those guys." Sasuke makes a face. "I did before. Took them six months to find me and drag me back to hell. I was eleven."
Deidara looks at Sasuke, "how are we going to survive when it gets colder?" Sasuke looks at Deidara, "that's a stupid question. How did we survive the two nights asshole threw us out for the night?" The blonde smirks, "smashed a couple windows." Sasuke nods. "Sure it's risky, but our whole life is risky." Deidara slides from the stool. Sasuke slides off the bar. "Your ride here?" Sasuke nods to the bartender. "Well in that case, enjoy your night." Sasuke rolls his eyes as he and Deidara slip out the door.
Deidara shoves his hands deep into his coat. Sasuke pulls a bottle of rum from his coat. The blonde grins. The raven teen passes the bottle to his partner. Deidara removes the cap and takes a drink. He hands the bottle back. Sasuke turns the bottle up and drinks what he wants of the bottle. He hands it back to Deidara. The blonde is next to turn the bottle up. The pair then pass the rest of the bottle to a homeless person in an alley.
Sasuke and Deidara begin to wander the street with their eyes watching for Kakuzu. The pair enter a gas station and gather whatever they can carry. The pile ends up on the counter. Sasuke shoves a fifty in the clerk's face, "ring until you reach that." Everything the clerk rings the pair shoved into their pockets. He hands Sasuke the bit of change. The pair are quick to disappear out of the door as the news breaks a story about the raid on 610, a local night club, and the recovery of several missing teenagers.
A/N: What will come of Sasuke and Deidara now? The only means of life they've ever known is gone. Out of the streets with no place to go, how will the pair survive? Will Itachi ever see his younger brother again, without arresting him?
