In front of Sasuke stood Kakashi and Naruto. "What are you doing here?" Sasuke asked.
"We've come to bring you back to Konoha, Sasuke." Kakashi told him.
"He is not going anywhere!" Itachi snapped his eyes turning red.
"Itachi let me talk to them alone." Sasuke demanded.
"You have five minutes." Itachi growled out and he walked inside the hideout with the others following behind him.
"Kakashi, Naruto…I'm not going back, I'm going to stay here with Itachi." Sasuke told them.
"Alright Sasuke, but we will come back to check on you in a month." Kakashi sighed.
"Fine, but send warning. Itachi won't like it if you show up unexpected, and I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you." Sasuke told them. Kakashi and Naruto nodded and they ran into the forest.
Sasuke walked back into the hideout and walked down the hall and into his and Itachi's room. He saw Itachi sitting on the bed reading a book. "So, did you like what you heard?" Sasuke asked.
"What are you talking about?" Itachi replied coolly.
"Your book is upside down, and I know you were listening." Sasuke said knowingly.
"Fine! I was listening." Itachi admitted. "And, yes, I like what I heard." Itachi sighed.
Sasuke smiled lying down next to Itachi on the bed. Itachi wrapped his arms around Sasuke, holding him tight. Sasuke snuggled against Itachi and fell asleep.
Itachi watched Sasuke sleep for a couple of minutes before he got up and made his way to the dining room. There, he saw Sasori, Deidara, Kisame and Tobi waiting for him at the table. "Sasuke is my partner, you are to protect him with your lives. Do you understand?" Itachi snarled.
"Yes." they all answered together. Itachi nodded and walked back to his and Sasuke's chambers.
When he got there he took off his clothes except his boxers then he got into bed next to Sasuke, who instantly snuggled against him. Immediately Itachi smiled and drifted to sleep. Sasuke woke up and wiggled out of Itachi's hold. He rolled off the bed and walked into the bathroom to relieve himself. "You can stop pretending to be asleep now." Sasuke sighed.
"When did you figure out I was awake?" Itachi asked.
"The minute you woke up, you where always a light sleeper." Sasuke answered. Sasuke walked over to Itachi and kissed the top of his head, then he walked out of the room and into the kitchen. He got a cup of juice and sat down at the table when…
"FUCK!" someone screamed and Sasuke looked up and saw Deidara and Kisame standing the doorway, with Kisame bleeding from his shoulder. Sasuke stood up and his hand glowed red Sasuke touched Kisame's shoulder and layed it there for a couple of seconds. He moved back. "Is that better?" Sasuke asked.
"Yeah, thanks." Kisame told him gratefully.
Sasuke nodded with a smile. "Are you guys hungry?" Sasuke asked.
"Yeah…" They answered, once again, simultaneously.
"Itachi!" Sasuke yelled into the room.
"What is it? What's wrong?" Itachi demanded running into the kitchen, a frantic look on his face.
"Make them something to eat." Sasuke told him with a grin. Itachi nodded and stomped to the stove.
Sasuke smiled and walked outside, he followed a path to a waterfall he climbed to the top of it looking at the view. "SASUKE GET DOWN FROM THERE, NOW!" a voice bellowed. Sasuke whirled around and lost his balance. Itachi watched as Sasuke fell off the waterfall. He jumped up and caught Sasuke before he hit the water.
Itachi felt Sasuke's body start to shake and tightened his hold then he looked down into Sasuke's face and saw he was crying. "It's alright, otouto, I got you." Itachi murmured as he rocked Sasuke gently, willing him to be okay.
