...
When he awoke the next day, the first thing he realised was that the prison-made beds were a bit too small for two people, it had never been a problem with Hidan but right now Kisame's elbow was digging into his ribs...and his backside was throbbing.
Rubbing his eyes with his palms he sat up keeping the pained whimper inside, turning he looked down at the sleeping Kisame. The man looked peaceful while sleeping, his sensitive ears picked up faint snoring noises.
Slowly he made his way over the man, getting out of the bed using all his feline grace not to wake his rough master even though he refused to think of the man as such. Any attraction he might have had for the large man had vanished last night.
It really took him all he had not to make a sound while he was pulling on his clothes, his whole body was sore the bite marks on his arms neck and chest didn't look infected or anything but they were extremely painful.
Slipping in his black hoodie he was about to sneak out, turning on the open cell door he froze, Zetsu was standing there silently looking at him.
So much for his escape...
Sighing he wondered how came he never heard the strange man approach. Zetsu then moved and he stepped back cautious, his cautiousness turned into curiosity when a black hand was lifted holding a finger pressed against the dual coloured mouth.
Itachi understood the gesture and kept silent...he observed the lean man crouching down and pointing a white long finger at seemingly nothing, only when he stepped closer and squinted he saw the nearly transparent string.
He figured it was a simple alarm trap so when Zetsu stepped over it and beckoned to him, he followed.
They made it down the hallway passing half illuminated cells with the inmates doing whichever, most were sleeping, but some were smoking and enjoying other pleasantries such as sex or beating someone up for fun, he tried not to look and not make an eye contact with the victims or the assaulters.
This was all too cruel for him... he would never get used to this.
When they had reached the showers Zetsu turned to him suddenly and he stopped, the dual coloured man eyed him for a good minute it seemed... Itachi didn't mind but he was anxious to get away...he had people he needed to see.
"I'll try to convince him not to chase you." Zetsu said and he really wanted to say thanks, even if it wouldn't work, he appreciated the gesture but Zetsu never let him say anything. He was dismissed with a wave of a hand and the man was walking back from where they came.
He really and truly hated to move around in this place while being alone, it was an early morning so the majority were sleeping, soon to get up for the showers, the hallways were creepy at the weak light since the daylight wasn't allowed inside. He made his way to the other side of the building, knowing the place well by now.
His light footsteps went unheard, he passed Kakuzu's cell, peaking inside only for the shortest of moments thankful that no one was being tortured in there, actually it looked like the man was just sleeping.
When he got back at his cell he grabbed clean pants and a vest, he couldn't wait for the dull bell that signaled that the showers were free to use, he dreaded it too... after last night he didn't believe that Zetsu will convince Kisame to give up on him.
After he had brushed his hair he found himself glancing longingly at Hidan's empty cell and bed as he made his way for Pein's.
A smile formed on his lips finding Pein and Deidara on the bed asleep in each other's arms.
Crouching down by the bed his pale hand laid on Pein's shoulder nudging it softly. "Pein..."
Pein awoke instantly looking alarmed till the grey eyes met with Itachi's black ones. "Itachi?"
He sat on the bed when Pein sat up manoeuvring the still sleeping dove on the pillow, Deidara however murmured something incoherent and put the slender arm over Pein's waist, Itachi's smile grew wider seeing that.
"Damn Itachi..." Pein's eyes were roaming his face and his clothed body. "You don't look very well...you've been crying."
"He's coming back..." he said suddenly not even hearing his friends worried words he was nodding as if that would make Pein believe him and comprehend things faster, because for now Pein looked just confused.
"Who's co-...Hidan is coming back...? How do you know?"
"Kisame told me...he has contacts on the outside or something, whatever...he said there was a murder, multiple actually and the police is sure it was Hidan's doing!"
And then Pein was laughing waking up the blonde sin as well...Itachi just watched as Pein kept laughing while calling Hidan a stupid fucker and other similar things.
"I knew he won't be able to stay away from you..."
"What's going on, un? Itachi?"
Pein calmed somewhat looking at him while the blonde sat up as well getting under Pein's arm, Itachi was sure that action was unconscious just like Pein lifted the arm unconsciously pulling the dove closer.
"So why you're still looking sad 'Tachi?"
Sighing he looked down in his lap where he played with the sleeve of his hoodie that had started to fall apart slightly. "Kisame..."
"Oh don't be silly! You're not going back to him are you? Itachi...?"
"I don't want to...but he said...and he's really determined to...keep me... I—"
It took him full five minutes to enlighten their friends of everything that had happened, starting from Kisame's first assault and ending with Kakuzu's visit and Zetsu's silent help.
Deidara looked at him with some sort of pity in the clear blue eyes, Pein was seething though, huffing all through Itachi's story and when he finally was finished Pein was already out of the bed yanking on the pants and vest covering up the delicious nakedness.
"You both stay here, I'll be back shortly... I want a word with Kakuzu... if he and Hidan had some sort of agreement about you and they never told me, I'm gonna kick Hidan's ass into the next dimension when the dumb idiot gets back!"
Yes, Itachi thought about kicking Hidan's ass too for keeping him of all people out.
Deidara was getting on the edge of the bed shaking the head in denial and grabbing hold of Pein's wrist. "I'm not staying here alone with Itachi if there's an angry Kisame around!"
To that Pein snorted flicking a strand of golden hair between his fingers and poking the doves cute nose with his index finger. "It's just down the corridor... give me a shout if anything..."
It seemed those words were enough to calm the blonde sin, Pein left and Itachi remained sitting there, his thoughts completely elsewhere while Deidara was getting out of the bed and got dressed murmuring to himself for a good while till the dove sat beside him brushing behind his ear unexpectedly it was also unexpected how he instantly started purring and leaned into the gentle touch.
Deidara chuckled rubbing harder. "Aww Itachi it seems the kitty misses his master, un... I had noticed Hidan doing this to you all the time..." another chuckle came from the blonde and the rubbing behind his ear got harder, Itachi was one step away from trying to crawl into the blondes lap and curl into a ball. "...I guess he liked the sound of your purring, un..."
When Deidara rubbed behind his other furry ear he scooted closer leaning against the blonde's side seeking body contact and warmth, his purring got louder with each gentle touch. "I miss him so much..." he admitted pressing his face on Deidara's shoulder.
It wasn't long till Pein returned looking mighty pleased and mighty pissed at the same time. "It appears that the stupid asshole is not as dumb as I thought...he had asked Kakuzu to keep an eye on you, and it appears our dear Hidan didn't trust our strength even when he was still here..." Pein sat down on the bed and all three of them ignored the dull bell telling them that the showers were open, Itachi was busier with eating up each word, his eyes big and the blondes hand behind his ear completely forgotten.
"Hidan has been paying to Kakuzu since the incident with Orochimaru... we all know Kakuzu's the strongest...I can't believe this... and he wasn't paying only for you Itachi... Deidara too...and Sasori! Even Orochimaru knew this, that's why there were no advances from the snake..."
With his jaw slack he turned to the dove who looked just as shocked as himself, Pein was smirking. "When Hidan got out obviously the money flow to Kakuzu's pocket stopped and automatically your protection stopped too but only till Kakuzu heard the news of Hidan's return...last night when Kakuzu found you, he was helpless since you said that you were there willingly..."
"...un..." came from Deidara, Itachi believed it was the only thing the blonde could produce while shocked into speechlessness... he wasn't better, he was staring at Pein with blank eyes, his expression dumb.
"He..." he coughed clearing his throat, his senses returning to him slower than he would like. "I...so...what now?"
"Now we're going to fetch Sasori and then we're going to Kakuzu's, then showers... I'd like to see anyone try anything while the Zombie's around."
...
It went smoothly, mostly because Kisame never showed up for the showers, the same happened at launch, there were no signs of the large man. Itachi spotted Zetsu after the launch when they all went outside in the yard.
When his black eyes met Zetsu's golden ones Itachi was surprised to see the dual coloured lips quirk into a small smile, Zetsu turned to disappear into shadows once more and Itachi spotted a large fresh bite on the white side of the man's neck, he wondered did Kisame take out the anger on Zetsu and if so, Zetsu sure didn't look troubled by it.
When the remotely silent and peaceful yard suddenly got loud and disturbed, Itachi was on his feet watching the yard entrance like a hawk... he knew what the commotion was about!
And true enough...his master was returning...
It was just like Hidan to come into the yard screaming at the four armed men that were leading. Hidan's platinum hair were messed slightly and the zealot had a split lip as far as Itachi could see but all and all his master looked like he remembered him...perfect.
All thoughts about kicking Hidan's ass and being mad at the man vanished as soon as his black eyes met the violet ones and a large happy grin split Hidan's face.
It felt like there was no one else aside from him and Hidan who marched up to him as soon as the guards took of the hand-cuffs and let the man free.
Itachi wouldn't run to greet his master firstly because he didn't crave to look like a love-struck fool and secondly because he couldn't move, his legs just wouldn't obey, so he remained standing there till Hidan was close enough for Itachi to smell the familiar scent of his master, close enough to see the magenta eyes shine while looking at him and finally close enough for Hidan to raise an arm and brush his black silky hair, the touch was fleeting though, Hidan pulled the hand back, looking him all over.
"Itachi...you're still mine aren't you kitty?"
How to answer that he didn't know. He was Hidan's...heart and soul and mind and if Hidan would want to then his used body too... as that thought crossed his mind there were instantly tears forming in his eyes, he grabbed Hidan's wrists as if afraid that without him clinging Hidan would leave.
"Of course he's yours, you dumb shit!" Pein as appeared was standing right next to him and so was the dove grinning from ear to ear, Pein was smacking Hidan on the side of the head which caused the platinum haired god to whine and punch Pein's arm in a friendly and definitely manly way.
Itachi already was purring as soon as his nose caught his master's lovely scent but after Pein's words Hidan's strong muscled arms were wrapped around his shoulders and purring got a whole new meaning, he was sure every single inmate in the yard could hear it, he didn't like that fact but there was no helping and he didn't try to stop since he was sure Hidan's smile would lessen if he would.
But of course it was too good to be true, Hidan just had to brush the lips over his neck... his painful, marked neck.
He felt his master go rigid, the lips pressed right on the painful mark, he closed his eyes, his purring stopped instantly and when Hidan pulled away from him trying to look in his eyes he looked at the ground...
He had hoped Hidan wouldn't come back till he's healed...he hoped he could convince Pein to never talk about what happened while Hidan was gone, he even had hoped to somehow soften up Kisame so the bluish guy wouldn't talk either...well that plan just failed.
"Let's go inside...we need to talk..."
He nodded following his master.
...
An: the end is sooo near...do tell what you think of it...
Mettlei...
