Sasuke was wandering around the akatsuki base trying to find something to do to ease his overwhelming boredom, and secretly searching for Itachi. Sasuke wouldn't admit to it, even under extreme torture, but when he woke up and didn't see Itachi still there like he usually was, it had kinda upset him. So now here he was strolling around the base, trying to figure out where in the hell he was. Sasuke rounded the corner and ran into the Konan and the guy with all the piercings, quite literally. Sasuke had walked straight into the guy with all the piercings and ended up on his back in the middle of the hallway looking up at them. The guy just looked down at him in surprise while Konan went to help him up.

"I thought I said you were to stay in your room" the piercing guy said calmly, he was giving Sasuke a stern look.

"And I thought that everyone said it was impossible to have that many piercings on your face but I guess neither of us listen to others well" Sasuke snapped looking at the man defiantly.

"Oh relax Pein, it's not like he can get out and tell any of our secrets" Konan said glaring at the man with the piercings.

"So you're Pein? What, are you like the leader of this group of idiots?" Sasuke asked calmly.

"Yes and what makes you think that any of these men are idiots?" Pein said with a smirk.

As if to prove Sasukes point Deidara and Sasori came around the corner arguing.

"Come on danna, you're good at building things yeah" Deidara said in a whiny voice.

"I'm not building you a sex doll that looks like Itachis little brother" Sasori yelled back.

They stopped when they saw the others there, Sasukes eye was twitching at the thought of Deidara having a doll that looked like him.

"Nevermind un, I'll just have the real thing yeah" Deidara said suggestively moving towards Sasuke.

"You'll have nothing but a black eye and broken bones if you touch me" Sasuke growled, glaring at Deidara.

"It would be worth it un" Deidara said still advancing

"I'll correct my earlier statement, some of them are perverted idiots" Sasuke said looking at Pein.

"That's enough Deidara, no touching the underage boy" Pein said sternly.

"Fine! Sasori, about that doll" Deidara said beaming at the redhead.

"If you ask me to use my skills in such a degrading manner again I'll slice you to bits" Sasori growled while walking away.

"Please danna, I'll never ask for a favor again" Deidara yelled running after him.

"I see your point they're obviously all geniuses, I don't know why I ever thought any different" Sasuke said looking at Pein pointedly.

"Just go back to your room" Pein snapped annoyed.

"No way, it stinks in there" Sasuke snapped back.

"Then clean it" Pein snapped.

"I'm not Itachis maid, he can clean his own room, it's not like I made the mess" Sasuke snapped trying to stare Pein down.

Their standoff was interrupted by enraged yelling and terrified shrieks as they looked to where Deidara and Sasori disappeared.

"YOU WANT WHAT?" someone screamed.

"Calm down Itachi, I was only kidding un!" Yelled Deidara running around the corner.

"YOU'RE DEAD BOMB BOY" Itachi yelled chasing after him and smirking evily when Deidara suddenly tripped.

"DANNA, WHY DID YOU DO THAT?" Deidara screeched still trying to get away from Itachi.

"Because you insulted my art by asking me to make you a sex doll" Sasori replied calmly.

"Itachi no killing Deidara" Pein yelled earning a glare from Itachi.

"He wants a sex doll that looks like Sasuke" Itachi yelled defending his right to kill the blonde pervert.

"No idiots at all, they're all geniuses" Sasuke said while watching the scene.

"I get it! They're all idiots! But they're effective idiots!" Pein snapped glaring back at Sasuke who just smirked in reply.

"Well they are effective at giving people headaches" Sasuke stated glaring at the noisy people further down the hall.

"Itachi, since he's obviously set on not staying in your room, keep an eye on your damn brother" Pein snapped.

"What the hell! I don't need a babysitter!" Sasuke yelled glaring at Pein.

"I didn't ask what you needed or what you wanted" Pein said calmly looking at Sasuke. Sasuke glared back and noticed the sadistic smirk that flashed across Peins face.

"This is punishment for saying you're leading a group of idiots isn't it?" Sasuke asked accusingly.

"Maybe, or maybe I just don't want a kid running around my base without supervision" Pein said not even trying to hide the sadistic smirk this time.

"I'm not a kid and I thought leaders were supposed to be above getting revenge" Sasuke said trying half heartedly to get out of being around his brother.

"No it's just that people don't bitch about it as much when you're the leader, now be a good boy and run along with your brother" Pein said with a smirk.

"Bastard, this isn't over, I will get you back for this" Sasuke yelled as Itachi grabbed his arm and began to pull him away before he got into trouble.

"Good luck with that kid" Pein said with an evil smirk.

Sasuke pulled his arm out of Itachis grasp and followed after him with a scowl.

"Where are we going?" Sasuke asked after a while.

"The kitchen, I'm hungry" Itachi said looking back at Sasuke curiously.

"Is there anything fun to do around here?" Sasuke asked

"We can screw with the other members after eating or we can watch tv" Itachi said wondering why Sasuke hadn't tried to wander away from him yet.

"Whatever, anything sounds better than staring at the wall or the ceiling and there's nothing interesting in any of your drawers" Sasuke stated

"Why were you going thru my drawers?" Itachi asked looking back at him.

"Because I was bored and I was wondering if you actually did cross dress" Sasuke stated calmly watching Itachis reaction, Itachi paused and looked back at Sasuke in shock.

"What would make you think I ever cross dressed?" Itachi asked

"Someone told me about how you wore a dress for a day" Sasuke said enjoying how much his brother was blushing.

"It was a bet!" Itachi yelled in defense.

"Sure it was, I remember how you never had a girlfriend when we were younger" Sasuke said teasingly.

"I think I've already clearly expressed the reasons for that" Itachi stated with a smirk.

"About twice with me now, thanks for the reminder" Sasuke muttered sending a death glare to Itachi.

"At least I'm open about the fact that I like guys" Itachi said looking accusingly at Sasuke.

"I like girls no matter how much you don't want to accept that, it's the truth" Sasuke said bluntly.

"I believe that you think that, but I also remember when we were kids and I remember how you used to talk to yourself about how you didn't think kissing Naruto was amazing" Itachi said smirking at Sasuke.

"How can you even know about that! It happened after you were gone" Sasuke yelled in shock.

"I used to listen outside your window at night" Itachi said as if it was nothing.

"What else did you hear?" Sasuke asked now a little horrified.

"You seemed to try to talk yourself out of the fact that you thought the other guys were kinda cute and you also kept going back to how you didn't like kissing Naruto" Itachi said smiling at Sasuke now.

"I didn't like kissing him! It was an accident, he was glaring at me like and idiot and someone pushed him! It's not like I wanted to kiss the dobe!" Sasuke said defensively.

"Yes I believe you made that argument to your bedroom wall several times now, tho I think you needed more convincing than the wall did baby brother" Itachi said chuckling at how red Sasukes face was now.

"Shut up! At least I'm not a perverted bastard!" Sasuke yelled.

"I like being a perverted bastard" Itachi said with a smirk.

Sasuke just glared at Itachi and decided to drop the subject. They got to the kitchen and each got a snack and ate in silence. After they were done Itachi decided to go to the living room and watch tv. Sasuke was just following Itachi while arguing with himself about if he was actually gay or not. This argument in his head continued for a while with Sasuke trying to convince himself that he definitely wasn't gay and he didn't even notice how close Itachi was sitting to him on the couch. Finally Sasuke looked over and flinched at how close they were and moved to scoot away a bit but Itachi snaked his arm around Sasukes waist and drug him back over.

"If you try anything I'm jabbing you in the eye this time" Sasuke growled glaring at Itachi.

"I'm not always trying to get into your pants Sasuke, sometimes I'm simply trying to keep others out of them" Itachi said glaring across the room. Sasuke followed his gaze and noticed they were being watched intently by about four of the other guys. From what Sasuke could tell it was Deidara, Zetsu, Hidan, and some doof named Tobi and they were all staring at him and Itachi. Sasuke pointedly pried Itachis hand off and scooted away glaring at Itachi.

"I said don't try anything, I'm not going to put on a show with you for your creepy friends" Sasuke hissed.

"If I had wanted to put on a show for them then you'd be on my lap with my tongue down your throat" Itachi said casually.

"Now I'm definitely not sitting near you" Sasuke grumbled crossing his arms and glaring.

At that moment Pein walked up and looked at the two brothers with a smirk.

"Getting along you two?" Pein asked in an obviously fake sweet voice.

"We're getting along great, as long as he drops dead soon" Sasuke muttered the last part but Pein still caught it and looked questioningly at Sasuke. Sasuke saw the curious look in Peins eyes and glanced over at Itachi to make sure he wasn't ogling him or something then looked pointedly at the wall.

"Well you seem to be in a good mood" Pein said his voice dripping with Sarcasm.

"He's just pissy cause he can't even convince himself that he isn't gay" Itachi said staring back at the tv.

"Fuck you Itachi" Sasuke said giving him a death glare.

"Maybe later, this is my favorite show" Itachi said barely suppressing a grin as Sasuke moved a little further away from him on the couch.

"Itachi, don't molest your brother" Pein said in a stern voice.

"Why not, it's not like I can get him pregnant or anything" Itachi said in a joking manner.

"Are you sure he shouldn't be medicated?" Sasuke asked looking up at Pein and then over at Itachi.

"If that's what you're after Itachi I have an experiment that will actually allow Sasuke to carry children, I'll even give you a discount as a fellow member" Kakuzu said walking up to Itachi.

"You touch me and you'll die" Sasuke said scooting further away from Itachi.

"You've been threatening that for years now Sasuke and I'm still alive, but no Kakuzu I don't want to knock up my little brother" Itachi said glaring at Kakuzu as Sasuke quietly released a sigh of relief.

"I'm just going to turn him into my gay lover" Itachi said smirking at Sasuke.

"So about that other room you mentioned" Sasuke said looking up at an aggravated Pein.

"Relax Sasuke I was kidding, geez, can't even take a joke" Itachi mumbled looking back at the tv.

"How did you two not kill eachother when you were younger?" Pein asked looking at the two irate brothers.

"He wasn't around enough to be this creepy before he killed our family" Sasuke snapped.

"That's cause you weren't as pretty back then and you were annoying too" Itachi stated calmly as he looked back at the tv.

"Stop calling me pretty, fucking girly bastard" Sasuke muttered angrily.

"This is actually pretty fucking entertaining" Hidan said staring at them.

"I'm kinda curious to know if Itachi can turn Sasuke into his gay lover" Kisame said thoughtfully.

"You're all a bunch of sick freaks" Sasuke said glaring at them all.

"Maybe we should put him in another room Pein" Konan suggested.

"Itachi if I leave Sasuke in your room will you promise not to molest or rape him" Pein asked looking at Itachi sternly.

"Yeah sure, I won't rape or molest Sasuke, I won't have to, he'll come around on his own" Itachi said with a smirk.

"Very well, he is safer in Itachis room where he's monitored" Pein said turning to walk away.

"You're actually going to believe him!" Sasuke asked shocked at how easily convinced he was.

"If I put you in another room it would probably be by yourself, then any one of the members could easily go after you and Kakuzu would probably test his new experiment on you. I really don't have the patience to deal with a pregnant teenage boy. So you're staying with Itachi" Pein said with a ring of finality in his voice.

"You could just let me go, then you wouldn't have to worry about any teenage boy" Sasuke said.

"You know too much I can't just let you go now" Pein said.

"All I know is that you're leading a bunch of horny idiots in a gloomy hell hole. How is that knowing too much?" Sasuke asked getting annoyed.

"You know what we all look like, you even know our names" Pein said while walking away.

"Is this another way to get revenge?" Sasuke asked accusingly.

"No this time I'm dead serious, you're safer with your brother" Pein said tired of arguing the point.

"Yeah sure I am" Sasuke muttered sulking on the couch.

"You should give him a comforting kiss Itachi" Hidan called from across the room, Sasuke quickly scooted the rest of the way down the couch.

"Shut up Hidan" Itachi said throwing the remote at him and getting up.

"Come on Sasuke, lets go train some" Itachi said grabbing Sasukes arm and dragging him from the room.

"You can let go of my arm now Itachi" Sasuke said after they were a little ways down the hall.

"I could but we're being followed and you should stay close to me" Itachi said calmly.

"Who's following us?" Sasuke asked ready to fight.

"Tobi" Itachi said calmly.

"Why should we be worried about that, from what I've seen he's the only good person here" Sasuke said slightly confused.

"Never underestimate him, he's probably the most dangerous man here" Itachi said as he stopped outside a door.

Sasuke was about to say something when Tobi ran up to them.

"Hiya guys! Isn't this nice? It's like a family reunion" Tobi said cheerfully.

"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked looking at Tobi curiously.

"Oh nothing really, it just seems like you two should be happier that you get to be back together after all these years" Tobi said cheerfully, tho Sasuke started to notice that he was trying harder to be cheerful now.

"You know I'm kinda tired can you just take me back to the room" Sasuke asked Itachi.

"Sure, we can train later" Itachi said grabbing Sasukes arm and leading him quickly away.

"What was that about?" Sasuke asked when they got to the room.

"That was Tobis other side trying to come out" Itachi said shuffling some papers on his desk while Sasuke went to sit on the bed.

"His other side?" Sasuke asked curiously.

"Yeah Tobi has two sides, the nice hyper side that you've seen and the dark and evil side that you almost saw back there" Itachi said.

"Well he was getting a little creepy back there" Sasuke said with a shiver.

"Well I can definitely try to take your mind off of it" Itachi said with a grin.

"Now it's getting creepy in here" Sasuke said glaring at Itachi.

"Why won't you even try it?" Itachi asked with a little annoyance.

"Because I'm not into guys" Sasuke asked looking at his hands.

"Okay, what about cards? Do you like cards?" Itachi asked earning a confused look.

"Yeah I used to play with shikamaru and neji" Sasuke said cautiously.

"Okay then lets play some cards" Itachi said pulling out a deck of cards.

"What's the catch?" Sasuke asked carefully.

"Not everything has a catch Sasuke" Itachi said getting a disbelieving look from Sasuke.

"Okay fine, we'll make a little bet. If I win I get to at least touch you whenever I want as long as we're in this room alone" Itachi said with a confident smirk.

"And if I win, you never touch me again" Sasuke said smiling now.

Sasuke was confident that he would win, he used to even beat Shikamaru at cards. Itachi began to shuffle the cards with a smile.

"Don't worry Sasuke we'll wait until at least tomorrow before I start taking my prize" Itachi said with a smile.

"I'm not worried, cause I'm not gonna lose to you" Sasuke said with a grin, he was going to end this with just a simple game of cards.

"If you say so little brother, but the touching freedom means with or without clothes" Itachi said with a grin.

Sasuke shivered a bit, he better not lose this game, the look on Itachis face said that if he lost he wouldn't be able to leave the room much.

Okay so Sasuke and Itachi have an interesting bet now the question is who will win the game? Will Sasuke ever see Tobis other side? Will Konan step in to help Sasuke if he loses? I guess we'll find out later.
