"May I come in?" Kisame asked awkwardly. Sasuke stepped back and allowed the tall man to pass him. Kisame walked into the lair. A fire place crackled with bright orange fire and Kisame stood quiet looking around. Sasuke crossed his arms over his chest and stared at Kisame. The blue man rubbed the back of his head and shifted.
"I'm here to get Itachi."
"I know." Sasuke replied eyes narrowed. He turned away from Kisame and beckoned him to follow. Kisame walked after Sasuke who lead him to Orochimaru's office. The spiky haired Uchiha knocked on the door. After a moment of silence Orochimaru's cold voice spoke up.
"You may enter." Sasuke pushed the door open. The two walked in. Orochimaru sat at a bench writing something. He leered at Kisame who grit his teeth. The sannin slowly stood and walked toward the kiri nin a faint smirk on his face. Kisame eyed him wanting nothing more than to kill the snake slowly.
"Where's Itachi?" Kisame snapped. Orochimaru chuckled.
"Why I do believe he's with someone right now, shall I get him for you?" Orochimaru taunted. Kisame bared his teeth eyes narrowed to slits. Sasuke looked away not wanting to know what Orochimaru meant. Kisame's hands balled into fists as he glared at the sannin.
"Yes, go get him." He growled. Orochimaru smirked and glanced at the clock.
"He's still mine for another two and a half hours. So why don't you just wait here until than?" Orochimaru cooed. Kisame grit his teeth and advanced on the sannin who narrowed his eyes.
"Unless I have to add another day on top of it." Kisame stopped short before pulling back. Orochimaru chuckled and brushed past the taller man and Sasuke who closed his eyes. Kisame watched him go before slumping down fists clenched. Sasuke stood awkwardly eyes averted.
"You want something to drink?" He muttered quietly. Kisame looked up distraught before slowly nodding.
"Water please." Sasuke nodded his dark eyes narrowed at the shark. He turned and walked out of the office. Kisame sat against the wall and stared at the clock. No time passed. Sighing in annoyance Kisame stood. He trudged sluggishly out of Orochimaru's cold office and walked into the dimly lit hallway. He blinked slightly and glanced around wondering where he was. Sasuke walked from around the corner with a glass of water. He silently handed it to Kisame who took it with a nod of thanks. He sipped at it cautiously in case it was poisoned. It didn't taste like it was so Kisame finished the water. Sasuke watched him closely brow furrowed. Kisame looked at the younger Uchiha in slight annoyance.
"What?" He asked.
"Are you and my brother...together?" Sasuke asked. Kisame snorted in annoyance.
"Yes we are." Sasuke looked disgusted.
"But you're a fish!"
"Shark brat, I'm a shark.
"Whatever."
"At least my hair doesn't look like a duck's ass."
"It does not!"
"Does too."
"Does not!"
"Does too!"
"Do-"
"Shut up." Kabuto snapped cutting Sasuke off. He pushed past Kisame and Sasuke and skulked off. Sasuke glared after him while Kisame flipped him the bird. He finished the water and Sasuke took the empty cup and lead Kisame into the kitchen. They sat at the counter silent waiting for the time to be up. Sasuke drummed his pale fingers on the metal counter and regarded the taller ninja. Kisame kept his eyes averted. Sasuke looked like Itachi. Only a more boyish male figure while Itachi was feminine and soft. Kisame lay his head on his arms and slumped over in annoyance. He wanted Itachi back. He glanced at the clock. Another hour and a half. Kisame stood up and scratched the back of his head. The spiky haired Uchiha watched him. He closed his eyes and leant against the chair.
"You excited to get him back?"
"Of course." Kisame replied. Sasuke smiled slightly.
"He misses you." He muttered. Kisame smiled happily.
"I miss him. Had he been...treated right?"
Of course not. Orochimaru's always on him." Sasuke snapped eyes darkening. Kisame lowered his head his hands in fists.
"I should have known." The blue man growled. Sasuke watched him.
"I can go tell him you're here." Sasuke murmured eyes hopeful. Kisame smiled and nodded.
"Okay." Sasuke nodded and got from the table and made his way through the door. Kisame stood and followed several feet behind him. The lair was rather cold unlike the usually warm Akatsuki base. Kisame watched as Sasuke stood outside a room. He knocked on the door. No one answered. He knocked again. Nothing. With a scowl Sasuke forced the door open.
"Itachi, Ki-" Sasuke stopped short. He stared into the room his dark eyes wide his hands trembling. Kisame frowned and walked forward.
"Sasuke what's wrong?" He asked. Sasuke didn't answer. Kisame walked over to Sasuke and peeked into the room. His eyes widened in horror.
Itachi lay on Orochimaru's large bed naked and bound. He was bleeding badly with scratched and bite marks. Blood and semen coated his things and his eyes were wide and unfocused. A man lay passed out drunk beside him. Kisame rushed forward and fell to his knees shaking violently.
"I-Iachi...Angel..." He whispered tears appearing in his eyes. He took Itachi's face in his hands and kissed the Uchiha's face gently. Sasuke walked forward shaking his eyes on his brother.
"Itachi." He murmured. He glanced at the large man and his eyes bled bright red. Kisame began to untie Itachi. His hands shook as he did. Itachi fell limp eyes closed. Kisame pulled off his cloak and wrapped it around Itachi's unmoving body. He scooped him up into his arms and held him close. Sasuke looked at the two and shoved the unconscious man off the bed. He and Kisame walked out of the bedroom. They were half way to the Kitchen when Orochimaru appeared from his office eyes narrowed.
"What are you doing!?" He snarled. Kisame held Itachi to his chest protectively.
"I'm taking him to the base!"
"Oh no you're not! If you take him the deal is off!"
"I don't care!" Kisame roared. Sasuke flinched slightly. Itachi came to and focused on Kisame with his doe eyes.
"Kisame?" He whispered weakly. Kisame smiled at Itachi and kissed him softly on the lips. Kisame gently sat Itachi down beside Sasuke. He turned to Orochimaru.
"I'm going to kill you." He growled. Orochimaru chuckled.
"We'll see." They attacked at the same time. Sasuke grabbed Itachi and dragged him away from the fight. Itachi weakly clung to his brother allowing Sasuke to take him to safety. Sasuke dragged his brother to a secluded room and the brother's hid inside. Itachi lay against Sasuke eyes closed breathing heavily. They could hears blows being dealt. Itachi stared at the door holding onto his brother. Sasuke quietly lay his head on Itachi's lap allowing the older Uchiha to stroke his hair. The room was silent neither brother dared move. Itachi lay his head against the wall. Minutes went by the fighting and shouting continued. Then it was suddenly over. Sasuke and Itachi tensed. Silence. Sasuke gripped Itachi and looked nervously towards the door. Itachi turned to his brother. His eyes were hollow causing Sasuke to quickly look away. Breathing shakily Itachi stood on weal legs and attempted to open the door.
"No Itachi." Sasuke murmured grabbing the taller male's wrist. Itachi glanced at his brother eyes half lidded from weakness. He fell back to the floor and Sasuke wrapped his arms around him. They heard footsteps and they tensed. The door swung open to reveal Kisame. Kisame looked at Sasuke before his eyes settled on Itachi, who looked away quickly drawing the cloak around him. Kisame knelt down and lifted him into his arms. He looked down at Sasuke.
"I'm taking him back to our base what are you going to do?"
"Where's Orochimaru?" Sasuke asked.
"He escaped." Kisame replied softly eyes narrowed. Sasuke was quiet for a moment before looking back at Itachi.
"I'm staying here."
"Sasuke...you can't..." Itachi murmured. Sasuke backed away from the two his eyes averted to the side.
"I can and I am. I haven't forgotten what you did and I still need my revenge."
"I understand that Sasuke but Orochimaru may hurt you." Itachi whispered weakly.
"No he won't. He needs my body too much to hurt it." Sasuke turned away. Itachi watched him with wounded eyes as his little brother walked away. Kisame looked down at Itachi smiling sadly.
"You okay?" He asked. Itachi sighed and buried his face into Kisame's shoulder.
"I'm fine. Can we go home now?" Itachi asked wanting nothing more than to leave. Kisame cradled Itachi close and nodded.
"Okay." He whispered. He carried Itachi out of the hall and made his way through the lair and outside. Itachi cuddled against his lover.
"Sleep Itachi." Kisame advised. With a weak half hearted glare Itachi did as he was told and fell asleep in Kisame's warm loving protective embrace.
