Itachi looked down, then looked up, blushing a deep red, frowning at his friend. What the HELL was so amusing to Shisui? Itachi really wanted to know, and after a while of death staring the other quietened down. That's when he almost physically winced at the words. He frowned and very quickly, stood, darting to Shisui, pinning the other to the wall with his fore arm, keeping dangerously close as he grasped the phone, pressing the hang up button and tearing it away from the others grip.

"Shut up... I know it is... You have no idea how many times I've tried to kill myself for thinking that way, but you have to keep quiet, and I am dead serious, if you tell a single person I swear there's going to be lots of blood spilled... And whatever you do, don't tell Sasuke, please, I really don't want to break the relationship the two of us have that's why I haven't told him, you and him are the only ones stopping me from simply throwing in the towel and killing myself, Akatsuki is just something I do as a part time friendship, but it's not real like what we have, or between Sasuke and I, if you break my trust or if Sasuke pushes away, be sure to attend a funeral," Itachi said in a harsh piercing voice, bits of sadness hidden in it as well.

He hadn't specified whose funeral, whether suicide, or whether subconsciously predicting the man before him lying in a coffin, it was unknown. He looked down, shaking his head, looking up wearily. "Please, get me some very strong alcohol and sleeping pills if you have to, this is starting to become to much for me, just throw my body in a river or something and look after Sasuke, I'm sure anyone else would care for him better then I ever did," he mumbled softly, resting his head on Shisui's shoulder, loosening his grip on the other male, feeling stress, anger, worry and depression strike now.

Looking up to Itachi with wide eyes, Shisui blinked innocently before he nodded his head a few times. He was listening to Itachi, but as soon as his cousin left, Shisui would be on the phone. He didn't care about his cousins love for his brother, he had to admit that his younger cousin was completely fuckable, but he wasn't about to let Itachi ruin Sasuke's life by telling him, and he knew in the end Itachi would have the guts.

He had Sasuke's number, so he'd most likely wait an hour before telling the Uchiha, then offering him some "help" Hopefully to get him while he's at his most distressed, he was sure the younger would need comforting after finding out something like that. "You shouldn't die" He forced from his lips "Sasuke might need you"

Itachi looked up at Shisui and nodded as he sighed, standing up straighter and letting go of his cousin. "Yeah, I know, but, I feel almost too far away from Sasuke now, I'd prefer it if it was how we were younger, him clinging to me, depending on me, gave me slightly more of a purpose, what with the way father is,"Itachi said with a sigh and shook his head, rubbing his temples tiredly.

"I guess I don't want this to keep going on, I'm thinking about moving out and taking Sasuke with me to keep him away from Father and Mother, but so far it's too much for me to afford on my salary," he said softly as he looked on at Shisui, unaware of the things his cousin was hiding.

Itachi had already found a house some where more peaceful, near a beach but at the same time a bit more country like, some where quiet and beautiful and he'd called up, ready to buy it, but he was short a few thousand dollars, but they were holding the house for him.

Meanwhile...

Naruto frowned and after a while he turned and walked towards the nearest bathroom, pushing open the door and looking around. He could smell blood. For some reason, that had always been a weird trait he had, being able to smell blood from afar. He looked around, seeing closed cubicles.

"Sasuke-bastard? Sasuke-bastard, where are you?" He called frowning as he slowly started to push open doors that weren't locked, looking in to find no one, going door by door. "Come on, or I'll tell Itachi what I saw," he called out threateningly. Now, to tell the older Uchiha would result in either a) a death, b) a slaughter, or c) the biggest and most frightful reaction known to man or any other species.

So this was indeed a powerful threat, now, whether the blonde had enough guts to confront Count Evil Devil Vampire man himself, it was a bit in question, although he sounded rather serious as he slowly walked through the bathroom, checking the stalls and waiting for Sasuke's reply

Groaning softly, Sasuke sat up from his stall and kicked the door open, just in time to see Naruto. Glancing down to his abused arm, the Uchiha winced before he walked up Naruto, his eyes narrowing in hate "You can't tell him, if you tell him, I'll..." Looking at a slightly loss, Sasuke quickly looked away "Don't tell him, I'll do anything" He said softly, already regretting the words as they passed from slightly flushed lips.

Naruto sighed and smiled. "I guess I can't really, but come on, why're you doing this? I take it by your reaction you think Itachi doesn't know, eh?" Naruto said softly as he looked on at the others arm, cringing slightly.

"Of course Itachi doesn't know!" Sasuke said irritably

"I know you'll do anything, and I am holding it against you, in fact, I'll use it against you now," he said as he pulled out his phone, flipping it open and dialling a number. He held the phone up, showing Itachi's mobile number on screen. "You're the one that's going to tell him, I won't but you said you'd do anything if I didn't say, but what I want you to do is tell him yourself, it'd be easier hearing it from you then me," he said as he edged his finger slowly towards the 'call' button.

Sasuke's eyes widened at the offer made by his blonde friend. He couldn't tell Itachi, he had no reason for doing what he was, well, no singular reason, so he didn't want to worry his brother in anyway, it just wasn't fair.

Looking back up to Blue eyes briefly, Sasuke glanced away as he snatched the phone from tan hands. He hated Naruto for this, but he knew Itachi would feel slightly better if it was Sasuke himself that had told him. Pressing the call button, Sasuke pressed the phone to his ear.

Meanwhile...

"I can't help you cousin, as much as I want to, I know that I can't, it just isn't in my nature to help incest" Wincing slightly at the word itself, Shihui looked up to Itachi, a small smile on his face

Itachi looked up and frowned slightly. "I don't care, I won't tell him how I feel if it means freaking him out or ruining our current relationship together, but, just to move away and get him to a safer environment, I'd really like that," he said softly.

"I heard though, that Sasu-chan was considering starting to work at that little stripper place you two found" It wasn't like he was completely lying, he had read it from Sasuke's diary, but he feared if he told Itachi that, he would get beaten.

Itachi blinked, freezing entirely at the next sentence. A stripper place? As much as he would be against it, the image of his little brother shyly stripping for him made him blush a bit and he scowled a Shisui. "Th-That's just wrong, he's too young to work there, and besides, I'm not having my Little brother selling his body for money," he said as he stood and turned, trying to hide the blush. 'Oh lord, pleeease don't let me get a bloody nose,' He thought as he frowned at himself swallowing hard, trying to get the thoughts out when-

Furrowing his eyebrows as he heard a phone go off, he looked at Itachi expectantly. "Is that yours?" He asked hesitantly.

He blinked, looking down a his pocket. His phone was going off. Nodding to Shisui, he reached in and flipped it open, sighting a new phone number. "Yeah, it's mine, don't know who though," he murmured before pressing the accept call button, raising it to his ear.

"Hello?" He said hesitantly, voice cold as usual.
