Chapter Seven,
Kabuto's offer
Madara and Pein watch as Kabuto approaches them a grin on his face.
Pein looks over at Madara "Are you thinking what I'm thinking.?"
"Let's take our anger out the 'healthy' way."
**~~FRIENDSHIP!~~**
Kabuto steps aside, throws hands up in defence "I am not here for violence, but rather, civilized conversation. Also I believe you owe me. Both of you~" Pein turns white, and Madara turns a shade of green.
Color returning, Pein looks down with a slight blush. "Now what are you blackmailing me for..? The Itachi thing... WAIT WHAT ARE YOU BLACKMAILING HIM FOR?!" He looks at madara shocked "OH... OH MY GOD... he he he can't be talking about that one time... when... you were bottom..." Pein starts to crack up, Madara gives pein the death glare with sharingan then starts to tear up for once.
"You are such a bastard, Pein."
Kabuto's glasses block the view of his eyes "Yes I am here on both terms as well as other things..oh by the way Pein congrats on your daughter. She has 'your eyes'...also I am here to bring you an offer neither of you can refuse..." He smiles at the two Akatsuki members, knowing he has the upper hand.
"Oh god Kabuto stay away from my daughter! Madara already made that mistake and I'm not saying that for her benefit, I'm saying it for yours... and what's your "amazing" offer you slimy little bastard?
Pein cocks an eyebrow and Kabuto gives him a look of innocent shock "Oh this had nothing to do with her up till now!" He pulls out a scroll and pen "I want both of your assistance in the next shinobi world war, along with the other members of the Akatsuki. I would hate to see two of the greatest warriors break down if they lost someone precious to them, if they say no... I'm sure Sara would be glad to help her fathers." He smirks and Madara narrows his eyes.
"Fine but we don't work for you we work with you, GOT IT?!" Madara gives him a look of agreement
"You really like to blackmail don't ya...?" Under his breath "Bastard bringing Sara into this shes only three..."
Fine by me. Oh and to be honest, bringing Sara into this was not my original intention. Nor was it my intent to have her age as fast as she does. I guess you could say curiosity ages, then kills the cat." He shrugs then writes something down on the scroll.
As Kabuto's pen left the page, Pein's eyes widened and his chakra started to flow out of him, Madara grabbed his arm "We just made a deal with him. He wouldn't kill her. If we refused then he would have, baka."
"YOU DON'T KNOW THAT!"
Konan comes out from the room down the hall "What are you two yelling about this time?"
Kabuto looks up slightly annoyed "Oh please. As if I would do something that risky. What do you take me for?" He nods in Konan's direction as a greeting "Konan-san."
"Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I'm sorry Konan." Pein goes in for a kiss on the cheek and is dismissed with a hand.
You forgot about Itachi, didn't you..? He's still in the room with Kisame you know and the feeling's gone down. I hope no one's... hurt." As she says this, Madara and Pein's eyes go wide at the thought. Kabuto pushes up glasses and looks a Konan, "Konan-san, am I interrupting something?" He gives Pein and Madara a look that says "not in front of her."
Konan points to Kabuto, "WHY THE HELL IS HE HERE! UGH, ok I don't even care anymore. Kabuto come back to play with them another time they got some things they have to work out." Kabuto tries to object but Konan puts a finger up in front of his face obviously very pissed.
Kabuto pushes up glasses, "I guess I'll be leaving now. We shall talk soon." he mysteriously disappears into thin air.
~Meanwhile in Itachi's room~
Itachi's throwing an angst rage, while Kisame tries to calm him, "Itachi-sama, please try to calm down and tal-"
Itachi cuts him off with a scream, "UUUAAHHHGG! EVERYTHING HURTS KISAME!" He sits on the floor and buries face in hands quietly sobbing, "I..I just don't know what to do..it..it wasn't supposed to be like this..." he pulls his knees up to his chest and starts bawling.
Kisame takes a step toward Itachi, "Itachi-sama..." he had never seen Itachi like this, Kisame scoops Itachi into a hug, "Everything will be ok...you just need to rest and relax...you don't have to do anything right now..." Kisame looks down at the limp body in his arms. Itachi had passed out from emotional exhaustion during the hug.
Pein and Madara walk into room and Pein notices the limp Itachi, "Ita-kun!" Pein runs to Itachi, scoops him off the floor, carries him to the bed, lays him down, pulls the covers over him, then kisses him on the forehead, "Ok we all need to leave this room now Ita-kun needs his rest WITHOUT one of us waking him up... "
Madara walks over to Itachi and looks at his peaceful face, "Fine." Madara agrees with a nod. Kisame nods then leaves first followed by Madara then finally Pein. They stand outside the door awkwardly waiting.
Madara absent mindedly messes with his hair, Pein picks at his nails, and Kisame looks at his feet, "..This is getting..."
Pein looks up at Kisame, "...Awkward?"
Madara nods, "Indeed."
Kisame looks at them both then bows, "I think I am gonna go to bed. It's so late and I have overtime..." He walks down the hall to his room. Pein and Madara stare after him then look at each other as silence fills the hall once again.
