I apologize for not mentioning this on the previous chapter notes, but this chapter contains Itachi's POV; hope you like it :)

"Deidara there you are" a gray haired doctor approached them, wearing a pair of glasses "It's time for your medicine"

"Right" the startled patient breathed out

There was something particularly off about this doctor, not because he was a vampire, no, it was the way he was gazing at Deidara. His glasses weren't very good at hiding those black orbs shimmering with excitement, nor how they were basically glued on the blondes clothing. Not only that but, Deidaras reaction somehow caught his attention; he seemed to have tensed up a bit, responding with a slight of hesitation. - Without an expected 'excuse me' or 'goodbye,' both the doctor and patient began walking away, most likely to an office in which the medicine was stored, or to the blondes room.

"We'll keep discussing everything another time" Itachi informed Deidara - the blonde glimpsed back at him with a hesitant smile before he was gone.

"Excuse me" sasuke announced "I'll be in the garden examining the new changes"

Itachi turned his attention to his brother; his expression was unreadable, but a hint of stress could be seen. Did it have to do with how Naruto was acting? - He snorted "You mean looking for your boyfriend"

Sasuke refused to answer him per usual, but he did glare at him before he too was gone.

"What's up with him?" Kakashi questioned

Itachi simply shrugged "He seems a bit..frustrated." he glanced at his assistant "Probably due to what occurred at the cafe"

"I thought it humored him when someone tried to attack him"

"Yes well, now it's different"

"Kakashi frowned "how so?"

"Our favorite humans seem to be involved"

"Our?" Kakashi smirked "I wasn't aware of you liking any human whatsoever. Let me guess...it involves a blonde patient?"

"We're getting off topic" Itachi glared at him - it wasn't no secret that yes, he found Deidara interesting enough to speak with; well, it went from interesting to appealing in seconds when he saw him in those loose sweats, but to find a human intriguing wasn't the same as selecting them as a life partner. It was forbidden and by no means would he ever try to break the rules over one mortal.

"Not only are those humans intriguing, but they also come with many unanswered questions, questions that only my father can answer"

"Are you both sure that fugaku is hiding something?"

Itachi crossed his arms "Why else would he be interested in buying this building? Or why else would Naruto call him 'dad?' Not to mention how he disappeared into thin air after it all happened" - It wasn't no secret how he too kept trying to get in contact with his father, but he had the same bad luck as Sasuke. It shocked him in a way because usually before leaving, fugaku would inform them of his plans, his business meetings, or the place he would be flying to; not one explanation was given this time around. Their mother was alike, avoiding them as much as she could, speaking to them about pretty much anything except their father.

Clearly though, it wasn't affecting him as much as it was affecting Sasuke, considering he looked more stressed and tired beyond compared.

"I can understand the curiosity, but why all the stress? There's nothing else left to do but wait it out until Fugaku decides to arrive back home"

"Waiting is never a bother for me, Sasuke on the other hand is the one who doesn't do well with secrets. I have a feeling he might just snap if he's pushed a bit further"

Kakashi rubbed his temple "Let's hope he's able to contain himself"

Itachis suit pocket began to vibrate. He took out his phone and gazed at the caller ID, raising an eyebrow at the name.

"Father?"

"Son" fugaku sighed "I apologize if I haven't gotten in contact with you, I've been...busy with a couple of meetings I have been attending"

"I understand, but why haven't you informed any of us of your location?"

No response; the single sound that was heard in the background, was of a television turned on - Now a days it was effortless to comprehend his fathers reactions; which was most likely due to his irritation, or his secrets.

"It was a last minute meeting I was informed of, I didn't have the time to let you or your brother know"

"What about our calls?"

"Itachi, what's with all these questions? First I receive them from your brother and now you?" irritation evident in his voice

"Sasuke? But you haven't spoken to him since you left"

"I just got off the phone with him. I specifically prohibited him to stop pestering your mother and I with his ignorant interrogation"

Itachi gripped his phone more tightly as his eyebrows scrunched in anger. "You were out of line father"

"You don't have any right to tell me what I can or cannot tell my damn children"

"Thats the problem, we are not. children. anymore." his voice came out menacing - Itachi scanned the waiting room attempting to keep his temper under control. He perceived Iruka walking towards him, but peered as kakashi grabbed him by the arm and shook his head - trust his assistant to be understanding.

"Fugaku, we need to go" a woman's voice was heard on the other line

"Are you in a meeting?"

"Uh, no...I have to go, we'll finish this conversation later" - he clicked.

Itachi stared at his phone in astonishment; did his father...hesitate before clicking? That was a first, fugaku Uchiha never hesitated nor ever got nervous - Oh yes, Sasuke was right, there is definitely something going on, something even more beyond than simple questions.

"How'd it go?"

Black orbs maneuvered their way to the front desk where Iruka and Kakashi stood looking at him, both waiting on an answer

"We can't expect answers from him, we might just need to find some information on our own"

"I'm not trying to be intrusive or anything, but what exactly are you both aiming to find out?" Iruka questioned

Kakashi snorted "That is being intrusive"

The doctor scowled at him before rolling his eyes - Itachi may have had to suppress an eye-roll as well; trust kakashi to get under the doctors skin as well.

"Iruka, are you permitted to see the patients files?"

"Yes..well, not all of them. Just my patients, which are around ten of them including Naruto"

If they were to get ahold of both blondes files, perhaps it would give them a clue as to why his father enrolled them in here without mentioning it to anyone.

"It has come to our attention that my father was the one who enrolled Deidara and his brother" Itachi stated "Do you happen to know if it's true?"

Iruka frowned as he looked between him and kakashi "I haven't paid much attention to the enrollment papers because they're insignificant when it comes to taking care of the patients, but I could find out. It would save you a lot of trouble though if you simply asked Mr. Uchiha"

Itachi chuckled "we tried, he's not budging"

Kakashi hummed "My dear Iruka, do you know why both brothers are enrolled here?"

"Why are you both so intrigued with them?"

Itachi smirked "Let's just say, my parents have been acting a bit...secretive when it comes to them"

Iruka sighed - His expression gradually turned into sadness as his eyes looked away from both of them "Obviously I wasn't here all those years ago when they were enrolled here but, Mizuki kept me informed" he crossed his arms "Deidara attacks anyone he finds as a threat, but now a days, he simply attacks the doctors for unknown reasons. He hasn't done anything to me because he knows I would never hurt him nor his brother, but he's been getting worse. And Naruto...well, ever since he witnessed his parents death, he became suicidal-"

Itachi furrowed his eyebrows - he was hoping Mizuki was lying when he had spoken to his father and Sasuke, but with Iruka confirming it, it must be true.

"-I personally haven't seen him attempt anything throughout the three months that I've been working here, but apparently other doctors have"

"Wait" kakashi intervened "The papers say he's suicidal but yet you, his doctor, haven't seen him attempting to end his life?"

Iruka shook his head

His assistant chuckled, fisting his hands in his suit pockets, he looked straight into the doctor's eyes "Bullshit"

This time Itachi couldn't withhold his eye-roll, but apparently Iruka couldn't withhold, well, anything - the brown haired doctor took two steps toward kakashi and literally got in his face

"You might be a vampire, but It won't be hard for me to rip your head off"

Kakashi leaned his head down "I didn't know you were into foreplay" he whispered quite provocative

In seconds, iruka's knee impacted with the perverts balls; a low howl of pain erupting from his mouth.

Itachi blinked - Sasuke wasn't lying, Iruka was very unpredictable; it was quite amusing

"Alright Iruka, no matter how impressive it was for you to land a hit on Kakashi there, I need you to keep an eye in this building. Therefore whatever you see or hear, report it to me or my brother, and if any doctors have any complaints about it, send them my way"

The doctor gazed at him in shock "Wont Mizuki complain to your father if you put me in charge?"

Itachi examined his fingernails without a worry in the world "My father has no say in this whatsoever, especially if he's too busy playing hide and seek at the moment"

"Iruka in charge?" Kakashi chuckled "Hopefully he won't traumatize the patients"

"You really love having my foot in your balls don't you!?"

"Dirty talk? We're in that stage already?"

While Iruka tried to strangle kakashi, itachi's pale ears picked up his brothers enraged voice "I don't know why I ever agreed to be your friend if you're nothing but a worthless patient stuck in this mess of a fucking hospital."

Shit

"Kakashi" he sternly said

Said man quickly stopped arguing with the blushing doctor and looked at him

"We need to fill in Sasuke about what we agreed. Go to him, I'll meet you in a bit, I'm stopping by the restroom"

"Of course" Iruka spoke up before kakashi could respond "c'mon asshole, lets go to the garden" - the white haired man huffed, but ended up walking away with the doctor, both disappearing into the hallway.

Itachi pinched the bridge of his nose - his father's phone call must have affected sasuke enough to make him snap and honestly, he didn't condemn him. The whole situation was appearing to be stressful around here, even more so with someone striving to kill them. - strolling down the hallway, he made his way to the restroom, only to halt in front of the mens door and distinguish a sign stating it was out of order.

Magnificent, now what? Entering the women's restroom was a big no, that's for sure; perhaps a bush?...no, that would be very un-uchiha like.

He sighed - it would have to wait. Turning on his heel, he commenced making his way to the garden when glass doors opened swiftly and a blonde ran right into him. It felt as if someone poked him, but he couldn't claim the same about the guy currently on the floor.

"You need to watch where you're running kid, are you okay?"

Blue wet orbs looked right up at him in fear - It was Naruto.

"Naruto, what's wrong?"

The blonde shook his head as he got up attempting to run away. Itachi noticed he wasn't holding his white board which explained why he tried avoiding him. It was sasuke who explained to him about naruto's nervousness when it came to not being able to respond out of embarrassment and fear.

"I apologize if I frightened you, don't feel as though you have to run from me, any friend of my little brother is a friend of mine" he gave him a small yet gentle smile, but the blonde looked away. "Look, whatever my foolish brother said to you, don't take it into consideration" this statement made the blonde side glance him "He's simply stressed and confused with everything that has been happening around here and my father seemed to have added on to that stress. I'm sure if he lashed out at you, it wasn't his intention"

Naruto frowned in confusion - right, he's probably wondering how he knew. He waved his hand at him "I know my brother too well, and just by looking at how you reacted at the friend comment, it must have been him who made you run out"

The blonde gave him a small nod

"Don't feel so down, he'll come around" - and there it was, that smile, the one Deidara sometimes offered up.

Naruto mouthed the words 'thank you' whereas Itachi gave him a nod. "By any chance, is there another men's restroom around here?"

Blue eyes sparkled with interest, he nodded his head vigorously as he pointed up.

"Ah, upstairs" itachi glanced around until he spotted the stairs behind him "very well, thank you for understanding Naruto, I'll be going"

The blonde solely smiled at him and waved him goodbye - Itachi whirled around and made it to the stairs, walking up in a graceful speed.

He was met with a hallway full of rooms, followed by an office at the end of the hall; it most likely belonged to Mizuki, but why it was so hidden, he didn't know.

This hall somehow reminded him of the Uchiha mansion, the amount of rooms was unbelievable in that house due to it being too big, but it came in handy when family visited over. To see so many rooms in this building was just confusing considering there were not too many patients enrolled in here - his black orbs spotted the mens restroom but his ears picked up voices

"Leave me alone"

"I'm not pleased enough, I want more"

"S-stop, I already gave you what you wante-leave me alone...no STOP"

Itachi frowned, he maneuvered his way towards the voices and came to a stop in front of room number fifty. He heard something rip, followed by grunts and moans. Without hesitating, he tried opening the door but it was locked.

"Please stop"

Gripping the knob with extra force, he twisted it, breaking the lock off and unlatching the door. Inside he was able to detect two figures attached too close to each other by a single bed and a wooden cabinet. At first he didn't recognize both of them because the lights weren't on and one of them had their back to him; resulting in covering the other body, but once the figure turned to him, he saw blue worried eyes gaze up at him.

Deidara was by the wall, the collar of his shirt torn with hickeys adorning his neck, while the other man; the doctor who escorted him out earlier, had his lips swollen and wet with his own saliva - what the fuck.

"Why are you in here?" The strange doctor demanded more than questioned

Itachi glared at him "Who are you?"

"I'm deidaras doctor of course, he refused to take his medicine so I had to force him...now leave"

"Get. Off. Him"

"Itachi" deidara spoke up "He's right, just go"

The now angry vampire took a step forward "one minute ago you were begging him to leave you alone and now you want him here?"

The blonde winced at the loud menacing voice, his eyes showing a type of fear he couldn't read.

"He said to leave Uchiha, I suggest you do so before someone gets hurt"

"Ukon, leave him out of this"

Wait, ukon? Wasn't he - "You're Sakons brother"

The doctor chuckled "took you awhile to notice, I'm quite baffled you and your pathetic brother didn't realize it"

"Well, we don't seem to pay much attention to foolish vampires who play dress up"

"Stop" deidara begged

Itachi wasn't much of a listener, so he shut the door and made his way to both figures "I suggest you leave now" he growled

Ukon let go of Deidara and made his way towards him, the atmosphere surrounding them became dangerous. Itachi knew it was a horrible idea to pick a fight in this room with a mortal watching, but it was out if his hands.

"I'm not my brother, I will end you Uchiha"

Itachi smirked "Try"

Removing his glasses, ukon leaped towards him, his nails extracted, aiming for his throat, but before he could land on the floor, Itachi raised his right arm and caught him by the neck - "You and your brother are both the same" black eyes flashed red as he brought the doctors face close to him "pathetic leeches"

Ukon hissed at him, his fangs a hairs away from itachis face. Gripping the arm currently strangling him, he did a front flip, jumping over Itachi and landing behind him - "Fuck you Uchiha" he spat as he propped his leg on his back and pulled on the pale arm, attempting to break it off.

Itachi let out an intimidating chuckle "That's all?" With enough strength, he began pulling his own arm to the front, forcing ukon to struggle with the hold he had on it. With his left arm, itachi reached over and grasped ukons coat, flinging him across the room, making him slam onto the door, only to land on the floor. In a blur, he was next to the out of breath vampire, crouching down "You're weak" he snarled

The doctor didn't reply, he was too busy catching his breath, or more like pretending. In a quick pace, one of his arms flung in front of Itachi, carving an open cut across his face, or to be more precise, on his cheek with a pocket knife. Itachi hissed in pain, but red eyes caught the vampires next movement. Before he could fling his arm once again, the Uchiha wrapped his fingers around the slim wrist and with his other hand, using a finger, he wiped a speckle of blood off his cheek. He gazed at the thick liquid before he propped his finger in his mouth "You like to play with blood Ukon?" - said man widened his eyes. Using the distraction, the Uchiha snatched the pocket knife from his hand, throwing it up in the air a bit in order for the blade to land sideways in a forward knife grip, and pierced the sharp object into the vampires jugular "well so do I"

Droplets of dark blood began flowing down the pale neck, Ukons lips trembling with pain. He reached over to the knife and pulled it out, causing more liquid to pour out rapidly. His hands flew up to his neck to prevent more blood from escaping as he stood up, using the door as leverage; the more he slid up the more he struggled.

Itachi got up as well, observing as the vampires hands stained the door completely with his own gore. He decided it was a better option to kill the man now, before anyone else decided to barge in, but Before he could make any other movement, he was shoved back as he felt a mixture of pain and numbness. He side glanced to his right and noticed Ukon attached to him, his fangs pierced into his neck - poison.

Itachis eyes widened a bit - launching his head back, he managed to strike the vampires forehead; making him hiss in pain and release the hold he had on him. Once more, he threw his head back, and impacted with the doctors mouth, overhearing a crack, followed by a pained moan.

"You. Fucking. B-oomph"

Frowning, Itachi turned around only to spot Ukon on the floor with Sasuke right on top of him, piercing his own fangs on the already slit throat.

A howl of pain erupted throughout the building, before it became very silent.

"Itachi" he glanced by the door and detected Kakashi "He bit you, I need to remove it"

Panting, the older Uchiha granted him a nod in agreement. He didn't flinch when fangs pierced into him, but once kakashi commenced to suck all the poison out, it felt throbbing. Within seconds though, he was done and soon enough he began to rub the ointment on his scarred neck.

Sasuke got up, his black suit stained red, but nevertheless, untouched.

"W-wha.."

All three vampires pivoted to the fearful voice - Deidara was sitting on the floor, eyes wide open, staring at them in horror.

"W-wha..w-who"

Shit

"Deidara, we need you to calm down" Itachi uttered, his hands up, certifying the blonde he wasn't going to attack him

"Y-you k-killed him"

A somewhat choked gasp was heard behind them - Itachi shut his eyes in remorse; he didn't even want to know who else was in there with them.

"Naruto"

Opening his eyes, Itachi glanced back, he watched how the younger blonde eyed them in horror as well, but it wasn't the same as Deidara. His reaction was dreadful as he stared at Sasuke; the only one with blood-stained clothes and red eyes.

"Run Naruto!"

The blonde took a step back in fear

"Wait" Sasuke voiced out "We need to talk, we're not going to hurt you" - It was no use, Naruto ran out of the room as fast as he could, Sasuke right behind him as they both disappeared.

"Y-you killed h-him"

Itachi maneuvered his attention back to the blonde

"N-now how am I supposed to protect my brother!?"

"Deidara, wha-"

"He was the ONLY person to guarantee my brothers safety and you RUINED IT!" Both Itachi and kakashi watched in horror as the blondes blue eyes flickered from orange to their original color

"We need you to calm down, nothing will happen to Naruto"

"You're lying! Your brother just killed Ukon, and now he's after my brother!"

"Sasuke would never hurt him" kakashi tried reassuring him

The blonde covered his face as he shook his head, a sob pouring out - "What are you guys?" He whispered

"We're vampires"
