'Red…so much red…'
Blood covered his hands and arms. This wasn't uncommon for him considering he worked with Orochimaru, but it was pretty dame freaky when your covered in blood and have no idea where it came from.
'Red…so much red…'
'WHOS BLOOD IS THIS?!"
Kabuto sat up calmly. He studied his surroundings like a good ninja was supposed to. Orochimaru was to his left, shirtless with an IV in his arm. Kabuto himself had a dying headache and had an IV in his arm.
"Oh your awake that's good."
Kabuto looked up to see…oh Great…Kisame.
"Now what do you want?" He felt tired again
"Hey, don't be bitter. I just wanted to be sure Itachi and I didn't cause you too much damage." He stated smugly, going deeper into his chair.
"You'll live, that's Itachi's thanks for saving Angie."
"Anko." He corrected
"Like it matters, you were just going to cut her up."
"That's NOT true." Kabutos' voice began to break as the headache resurfaced. "I've never wanted to hurt her, I tried to help-"
"Quit with lies medical nin," Kisame frowned at him "we all know you're bluffin'"
Kabuto had to lay back down. His head was screaming for res but he still had a few more questions\comments for the shark sannin.
"What do you people want with her?"
"Similar to what you wanted from her."
Kabuto had to force himself to stay awake; the pain was searing.
"The… curse mark?"
Kisame chucked "Yeah something like that."
Kabuto waited for the rest of his response, but all he did was smirk and watched with ecstasy at Kabutos shaking.
"…well?"
"Heh heh, I don't see why you should care kid."
"…I don't. Curiosity mainly…"
Another chuckle, this one was NOT from Kisame.
"You're a fucking liar Kabuto." Orochimaru stated weakly "you're denying something you're so confused about and it's sickening." He began laughing at the anger etching on Kabutos face.
Kisame watched with interest. So this is how Orochimaru behaved in his weakest state? Not unusual but still rather childish. He stood and walked towards them both.
"You know, when we get her back, I may just play with her some more, you know as punishment for escaping. Kabuto since you've seen her body so many times, what does she look like?"
"Is she a good fuck?"
Kabuto clenched the sheets "Orochimaru…you're delusional, I suggest you lay back down. "
"Trying to keep her to yourself again are we? And what did I tell you about fucking around with what's mine?"
"Go to SLEEP" He was grounding his teeth together now.
"I said that she is mine, always has been, always will be, I thought that was an understanding between you and –"
Kisame squeezed his IV, putting him to sleep. Kabuto didn't look up but the silence told a lot.
"Thanks." He whispered
"Your turn." But Kabuto had already passed out again.
"…Kisame, keep the noise down if you please."
Kisame turned to the source of the voice. "Sorry Itachi, these guys were just getting on my nerves."
Itachi threw a pillow off his face and sat up. "Their awake already, grab Anko we need to start moving." Kisame caught him as he fell. "No, Ankos not fit for traveling and your just… well I don't know what the hell's wrong with you."
Itachi lied back down and sighed "I know now what Kabuto meant when he said the doctors here were idiots, there sleeping meds are completely unaffective."
Kisame laughed and watched his partner fall asleep "…Hey Kisame…"
"Hmmm?"
"Ankos going to kick your ass for almost killing her…"
DREAM-LIKE FLASHBACK
"Hey Itachi."
Itachi opened his sleep infested eyes and for once smiled, "Morning beautiful." He brushed a few strands of hair from her face, she always had such beautiful hair [even if it was splattered with blood].
She groaned and rolled away from his touch. "So… how's Hokage-Sama going to torture you today?"
She smiled at her dry humor "I thought you liked Sarutobi."
"I do, but he keeps you and Shisu out for so long that I have to turn to Iruka or Kurenai for entertainment. I mean there okay but they it just seems like they want to be somewhere else than around me."
Itachi felt the anger and sadness in her voice, although he hated to act out of character , he new comforting her was the right thing to do.
He got up an began getting out some clean clothes "Get cleaned up. Then we'll go out for dango before I leave for my next mission." [Nice one Itachi T.T]
Silence
"So Hiruzen is sending you away." She whispered
Itachi crumpled up his shirt at threw it at her. Almost instantly she jumped up and threw her pillow at him. He grabbed it before it hit him and pressed it against her chest, sending her on her back again.
She smirked at the position they were in. "Don't get any ideas Uchiha; I am not getting arrested for raping a minor."
He brushed his lips against hers "Could I go to jail for raping a delinquent?"
She pressed hers harder to his "I hardly doubt it..."
That for a little while longer, enjoying each other's taste and the peace in the room. He was halfway down her neck when…
"ANKO OPEN UP AND SO HELP ME IF ITACHI'S NAKED I'M CALLING A PREIST!"
Anko practely threw Itachi off her. "I'm gonna kill him." She growled. Itachi put his hand on her arm. "Just distract him while I take a shower."
"What the hell do you want a shower for?"
He smirked evilly "I NEED TO WASH THE SWEAT OFF."
"YOU TWO DIDN'T " Shisu shouted
"NO WE Didn't." Anko's voice died as she turned to Itachi. He continued to smirk.
"I hope you drown." She muttered
"I hope I drown to." He said
"Whatever, I'm going to distract the dumb-ass."
She walked out the bedroom and Itachi walked into the bathroom. He turned on the water and undressed as it got hot. While he washed away the sin, he thought deeply about the two people outside.
They were basically the closes thing to 'friends' he had …
And he hated it.
He hated them for caring, for smiling at him, for being alive.
He hated Shisu for taking up for him whenever he went to see Anko. He hated him for telling his parents the night before that he was at his house and not hers because they hated Anko because of what her sorry excuse of a Sensei did[ he hated him too by the way]. He hated him for hating Anko which was his job; his disapproval of her sickened him. He hated more that he had to kill in two more days.
He hated Anko for being beautiful, for making him feel things that seemed so unnatural to him. He hated her for seeking friendship from him and he hated himself for giving it out so willingly. He hated that he had to kill her in two more days…
Cough…COUGH COUGH HACK. He was spitting up blood
'I can't breathe…I CAN'T BREATHE!
So much red…SO MUCH RED…SO MUCH BLOOD …SO MANY CROWS! WHY CAN'T I BREATHE!?
END OF DREAM-LIKE FLASHBACK
Itachi tried to breathe but something was covering his mouth and nose. Opening his eyes was an even harder task. Something is on his face.
Itachis' hands moved around franticly trying to find what was smothering him. 'soft…a pillow maybe… what are these… arms…small arms…'
He grabbed the wrists and was rewarded with air.
Anko flew back a little from the impact of being pushed.
"Anko- What -the hell?" he said in between gasps
She glared at him, it seemed to be her answer. She flinched at the sound of familiar thunder.
Kisame was snoring loudly.
'Dame idiot fell asleep. She could have killed me.'
"Hey shark face wake up!" Anko shouted
"…hmmm what…Oh Angie your awake-"
"How the hell could you fall asleep like that? She almost smothered me" Itachi raged
"Oh don't be such a child Itachi." Anko said: her first words to him since she was rescued actually. " No one would've missed you; I know I wouldn't have."
Itachi glared at her. He was half a second from reacting his Shadingun when thankfully for Anko, Kisame spoke.
"You can't really blame me, I've been up for two days being sure Orochimaru and What's his name didn't kill you."
Anko smirked at that information. "You didn't think I could kill either of you. You underestimated me." She laughed softly at this, her still injured body trembling.
"And you look like something out of an asylum. Get up."
She glared at him, but not wanting to lay on the floor anymore stood up. It was then she noticed Orochimaru and Kabuto still asleep on the other side of the room. She walked to them.
Kisame began to pull his sword out but Itachi held out a hand to stop him.
She stared at Kabuto, he looked so strang with his glasses off. She ran a hand over his jaw. She felt like crying, but the Akatsuki's presence in the room prevented her.
"You were going to let him kill me." She whispered out loud
Kisame and Itachi stared on, curious to her actions and words.
"You didn't even kill me when I asked…when I begged you to. You were going to let him torture me-"
Her voice broke at the memories. he had shown her kindness even if he didn't realize it. He had given her hope.
She looked at Orochimaru, hate clouding her pain. Instead of the gentle careless she had given to Kabuto, she grabbed his neck with the full intention of killing him.
'NOW?!"
"No Kisame, I want to see this."
"You tortured me. You gave me everything and then took it away…"
Her eyes began to shake as the painful and beautiful memories filled her mind. A sob broke her throat.
"IT HURTS… IT HURTS SO MUCH…"
T he glint of a scalpel caught the corner of her eye. It seemed so beautiful.
With quick shinobi action, she grabbed it and aimed for his heart- but Kisame stopped her.
"Whoa there killer, I think we've put him though enough."
The Scalpel collided to the floor, not long afterwards Ankos body followed.
She stared at the ground. Tears began in her eyes but she blinked them away. 'More tears Anko, you're becoming predictable.'
Itachis' small frame brought her back to light. He was the fourth man to ever hold her.
1 Orochimaru
2 Kisame
3 Zetsu
4 Itachi
"I think we should go now." he said "we'll get her some new close along the way."
"Yeah sounds good."
"Have you figured out that excuse for Pain yet-"
Anko didn't listen to any more. It didn't matter to her. The only thing that mattered to her was that Orochimaru was unconscious and Itachi's scent
The sunlight as they walked outside felt so new to Anko, the outside world was a beautiful place indeed.
Itachi in the shower ^_^
Anko and him didn't have sex but there was a lot of roughness going on
For those of those of you who haven't figured it out yet Astrozerk wrote Cure Me 1, read his\hers in order to make better since of the relationship between Orochimaru and Anko\ Kabuto and Anko.
