Chapter 10: Sick
Deidara, Kisame and Itachi went back to watching T.V. and they weren't bothered for an hour. It was in fact, it was all going smoothly until Itachi started coughing.
Deidara didn't think anything about it until something sticky and wet hit his back.
Deidara looked around and saw that Itachi was coughing up blood. "Itachi?"
He seemed to be in a huge coughing fit, one hand covering his mouth, blood dripping through, and the other gripping his chest.
Deidara looked over to Kisame who also had some of Itachi's blood on him. Finally the coughing fit seemed to end.
"Itachi are you okay, un?" Deidara asked.
"Yeah, fine." Itachi sighed, wiping the blood on his cloak.
"Itachi stop lying to others and yourself." Kisame said, sounding slightly angry.
But Itachi said nothing.
"Fine if you won't tell him I will!" Kisame said. "You can't hide it from Deidara anymore, you just coughed blood all over him."
"What is going on, un?" Deidara asked.
"Itachi is sick. We are not really sure with what but it is bad." Kisame said.
"How bad, un?" Deidara asked.
"So bad he has to take five different medicines to keep him alive. Coughing up blood is a regular occurrence, accompanied by chest pain." Kisame said.
"That sounds," Deidara started, then paused to think of the right word, "horrible, un."
Itachi leaned back against the couch.
"Is there any way to help, un?" Deidara asked.
"No," Itachi said. "There is nothing anybody can do."
"Well," Kisame said. "That was somber."
"Agree, un." Deidara said.
"You guys want something to eat?" Itachi asked.
"Sure, un." Deidara said.
Itachi held out his hand that was not covered with blood out for Kisame and Deidara to climb on, and they headed into the kitchen to get something to eat.
Hidan and Kakazu were also in the kitchen, and it was really peaceful until Zetsu came in with Tobi, and Tobi was screaming at the top of his lungs.
