Wrong Side of the Tracks Ch 8
Wednesday morning proved to be a typical morning if you didn't count the fact that Zetsu was being stared down by Tobi Uchiha. Or that Itachi was feeling a mixture of relief and fatigue as he watched the blue skinned teen walk down the hall into class. He could at least rule out that the boy was dead.
Zetsu looked Tobi up and down and then turned to walk away. Tobi reached out and grabbed Zetsu's arm spinning him around to face him once more. Zetsu glowered at Tobi for the rudeness of his actions. "Can I help you?" Zetsu asked pulling his arm free. Tobi glared at Zetsu and crossed his arms.
"Yeah you can apologize for Friday." He said in a tight voice. "Now you want an apology?" Zetsu asked with a smirk. "It's the civilized thing to do, yes." Tobi said haughtily. Zetsu thought for a moment. "Okay when you ask me nicely instead of demanding an apology, then I will apologize." Zetsu said smugly.
Tobi glared hard at Zetsu. He brushed briskly passed him and went to class. Zetsu shrugged and went to his class as well. He had to admit he didn't really think that Tobi would demand an apology from him. He must be losing sleep over this. Zetsu thought smugly as he sat down in his seat.
Itachi walked to his class and sluggishly sat in his seat. He couldn't say why he had been up all night worrying about a boy he didn't know or didn't even share a social standing. All he knows is that when he had tried to sleep last night his thoughts raced to the boy who had climbed into the mysterious car and disappeared. Until today that is.
He would have laughed out loud if everyone in the room wouldn't think that he had lost his mind. However, he felt as though he had. A little over a week ago he was great. His life was normal and then he gave the boy a ride in the rain and now he couldn't shake him from his thoughts.
Itachi tried to listen to what the teacher was saying but his mind kept wandering from thought to thought. He turned his head to look around the room to distract his thoughts when he noticed the recipient of his cluttered mind sitting four rows over in the second seat from the front. He sighed in defeat as his thoughts were once again pulled towards the poor boy across the room.
Itachi spent most of the first hour watching the teen across the room. He was so intriguing to Itachi and yet he couldn't say why. Yeah the boy had blue skin but that wasn't what kept Itachi from moving on. It was the mysteriousness about him. He just couldn't forget about him and move forward.
The teacher asked a question and then called on someone to answer it. "Kisame can you tell me the answer?" She asked. "The blue skinned boy answered automatically. 'Kisame' Itachi said to himself. He rolled the name around on his tongue a couple of times and decided it fit the boy really.
Gaara and Sasori stood by Sasori's locker after class. They were just about to leave when a short haired blonde boy walked up to them. Sasori looked the kid over and could see nothing but attitude. "Can we help you?" Sasori asked.
"Yeah, you can leave Deidara alone. Or you'll be sorry you messed with him, punk!" The blonde teen said grinding his teeth together. Sasori laughed. "Leave him alone? I'm not the one who got in his face, he got in mine. So he needs to back off and I will." Sasori said and walked away.
Gaara followed suit but not before he stopped in front of the boy. "Don't fight your friends battles it won't lead you anywhere good." He walked away from the kid whose mouth was open in either shock or disgust and Gaara couldn't care which.
Zetsu walked out of class to go to the bathroom. He walked around the corner and there was Tobi Uchiha. Zetsu sighed and walked passed him. "Hey, don't walk away from me. I am still waiting for you to apologize." Tobi said following Zetsu into the boys' bathroom.
Zetsu rolled his eyes and then grinned. He walked up to the urinal and unzipped his pants. He pulled it free and began peeing in the urinal. Tobi stared at Zetsu's manhood for a few seconds before shock registered and he looked up to Zetsu's face.
"You really have no manners do you?" Tobi asked. His face was bright red. Zetsu laughed and motioned. "You followed me to the boys' bathroom so it's your own fault. Not to mention I think you like what you see." Zetsu smirked.
Tobi fled from the bathroom to his locker. He undid the combo and hid behind his locker door trying to regain control. Zetsu washed his hands and left the bathroom. He seen Tobi standing behind his locker door and couldn't resist.
He walked down to the locker and grabbed the door opening it wide. Tobi flushed bright red again as he saw Zetsu standing beside him. Zetsu slapped Tobi on the back. "Hey sorry about knocking you down on Friday." He walked away with a triumphant smile on his face. He was sure he had turned Tobi's life around again by the little trick in the bathroom.
The bell rang signaling the end of class and Itachi sighed in relief. He had spent so much time watching Kisame in the class that he hadn't heard anything the teacher said. He cursed himself for giving Kisame a ride in the first place.
He knew he would probably never be able to forgive himself if he hadn't but still now all he could do was think about a boy who wasn't even from his little circle. He couldn't leave it alone though. The question still drove him crazy. What was Kisame into? He would just have to ask.
