The Konoha AUs - The Akatsuki Law Firm (Part 1)
500 words
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, Kishimoto does.
So this is the first part is series you're going to see quite a bit of this month, as it seems to be taking on a life of its own in my head. This part focuses on Itachi, but we're going to get to see other bits from Anko, Naruto, and Sasuke later on. Likely Kushina as well. I'll try to get you a look a Sasuke's life tomorrow, we'll see what happens. And if there's a particular AU you want to see more of (especially the ones I've marked as having continuations), drop me a review and I'll see about moving it up in the queue. Or if there's another AU entirely. Like a politics one. I think there's going to be a politics one on the 7th, for primary day. But we'll see how it goes.
Happy reading!
"Uchiha-san, Sasori-danna wants the briefing paper on the Nanabi case," one of the new interns pokes his head into Itachi's office. The young lawyer grabs a stack and holds it out, shaking it for the blond to take. He returns to typing without a word.
"He also wants the material on the lawsuit against the steel mill," the same blond returns. Itachi again hands the material over without a word.
When the door opens a third time, he growls, "Can you not get a comprehensive list?"
"What do you need a list of?" A voice very much not that of Deidara echoes with amusement. Itachi's fingers finally stop and he turns around in his chair.
"All the places you want me to touch," he murmurs softly as she closes and locks the door. The young woman sashays to him, laying her purse on his desk and settling on his lap, kissing him.
He responds with equal fire and passion, stroking up her sides with nimble fingers. When they break apart she grins at him, a look he returns with a soft smile.
Screwing the daughter of one of the partners of the law firm you work for is probably not the best way to make partner and teach your family that you can be successful without them, but Itachi isn't inclined to care. Orochimaru doesn't scare him, no matter what everyone else thinks of Akatsuki Law's ophiophilist lawyer.
"What are you doing up here?" He asks, brushing her hair out of her face.
"I had lunch with Dad and offered to walk him up," she tells him.
"Devious little one, aren't you," he smirks.
"I wanted to see you. You've been busy all week."
"I know, it's this case."
"Is the police department still not giving you the information you need?"
"My father is making sure they are as difficult as possible. I can't tell you how many forms I've filled out."
"Is there anything you need from me?"
"Just that you be you," he responds. Just having her around is enough to ease some of his tension.
"Try to come see me soon?" She asks him, climbing out of his lap.
"I should have some free time this weekend," he responds, unable to promise anything. Only the interns have to put in more time and work than the junior lawyers.
"Just remember that you can't prove anything if you die from stress and exhaustion," she sighs, putting herself back together and touching up her lipstick.
"I'll try," he smiles at her.
"I almost forgot; I have something for you." She rummages in her purse for a minute, then pulls out a small box that she hands over with a grin.
He takes it. Green tea pocky.
"You really like feeding my sweet tooth, don't you?"
"You feed me the rest of the time, the least I can do is help you indulge."
"You always do, darling, you always do."
As she leaves, Deidara appears in the doorway.
Itachi groans.
