"How does he look?"
"When did he get back?"
"Tobi and I got him yesterday, un."
"I thought Leader said we wereto leave him."
"He must have changed his mind."
"How long has he been out, un?"
"Since you guys brought him back."
"Hey, I'm going to check on him."
"Whatever Kisame."
Itachi clenched his eyes shut and let out a low sigh before opening them and looking around. Everything was faded and blurry making Itachi light headed. He slowly turned onto his side and glanced towards the door where the voices were coming from.
Where was he?
Itachi glanced around squinting trying to make out the shapes. He heard the door open and he quickly glanced towards it to see a blue and black blob.
"Itachi?" The blob called slowly in a deep voice. Itachi blinked and slumped slightly.
"Kisame." Itachi murmured laying back down onto the pillow. So he was back at the Akatsuki base? Lovely. Itachi slumped into the bed eyes closed. He heard Kisame walk towards him and felt the bed creak as Kisame sat down beside him. Slowly Kisame reached forward and placed a hand on Itachi's thin shoulder.
"Are you hurt?"
"No Kisame I am fine."
"...Kakuzu checked you over when you were returned...he said he thinks you were raped."
"Kakuzu is a stupid nasty old fool." Itachi spat out. Kisame glanced towards the door as he heard Kakuzu swear before turning his attention back to his partner.
"But he's right isn't he. Your brother raped you?"
"I don't wish to discuss this Kisame."
"Itachi please I'm your friend. You can tell me." Itachi glared daggers at his partner.
"Kisame not right now." Kisame sighed and nodded rubbing the back of his head.
"Fine, we'll talk later then okay?" Kisame asked. Itachi nodded. Kisame grinned softly before standing up.
"Well I'm going to get something to eat you wanna join?"
"...Alright." Itachi replied. Kisame held his hand out and Itachi took it allowing the Kiri nin to help him up. Kisame lead his partner out of his room and into the crowded hall way. Hidan and Deidara pulled back smiling sheepishly while Kakuzu merely nodded at Itachi who dropped his gaze. Kisame rolled his eyes and pushed past them Itachi silently following. Kisame walked into the brightly lit Kitchen and went towards the fridge to look for something to eat. Itachi sat at one of the stools and lay his head on his arms. Kisame glanced at him his expression soft. He took something from the fridge and lay it in front of Itachi. Itachi looked at the apple and traced his finger tips over the smooth red surface. Kisame sat across from him his eyes on the table.
"Itachi?"
"Hmm?"
"You miss him don't you?"
"Miss who?"
"Sasuke."
"...I do." Kisame stood up.
"Then let's go."
"Where?"
"Where do you think? To find your brother."
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
Sasuke lay on his bed an arm draped over his head as he stared at the ceiling. He had locked his door not letting anyone in. Karin attempted to talk to him only to be ignored. She gave up in the end. Now he was alone in the darkness of his room. He barely ate. He barely slept. All he did was think of his sibling. Itachi. Everything about him had been innocent. But he had lied. Sasuke had raped and tortured his innocent brother. Why hadn't he told him the truth? What he had been ordered to do. Sasuke would have ubderstood. He would have saved him. But no. He stayed silent and was unjustly tortured for it. Sasuke cursed under his breath and rolled onto his side. Was his life really just one big lie?
Sasuke slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes. He glanced out the window. He needed to see Itachi. He needed to win him back and apologize for his reaction. Slowly Standing Sasuke trudged to the bathroom. He tunred the shower onto hot and pulled off his clothes. He looked at his hands and help back a sob. These hands had hurt his brother. These hands had ripped him, tore him and had broken him mercilessly then rose him back up only to toss him down once more. Swallowing Sasuke rested his forhead against the shower wall and punched it his teeth barred.
"Dammit." He cursed before sinking to his knees. He shook violently tears coursing down his cheeks mixing with the water from the shower.
"Itachi..."
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
Kisame and Itachi quickly packed their bags while the rest of the Akatsuki slept. Itachi slung the sack over his shoulder and Kisame lead him to the limits of the base before stopping.
"This is where I'll have to leave you. Good luck Itachi." Kisame murmured. Itachi smiled softly and wrapped his arms around his partner and held him close.
"Thank you Kisame."
"Itachi?"
"Yes?"
"...Be careful...okay?" Itachi smiled.
"I will." Itachi promised before turning his attention to the forest. Glancing over his shoulder at the older man he smiled sadly.
"Goodbye Kisame." He whispered before dissapearing into the night. Kisame stood staring after him his eyes watering.
"Goodbye Itachi." He replied before turning back to return to the base.
Sorry it's so short. It loooked like a good place to end the chapter. Hopefully I'll have another update soon. Love you!
