Chapter XI

Bet That

Dry Your Eyes

It had been nearly three days since Itachi and Sasuke had gotten all touchy and intimate in the shower starting their new found relationship on more than being brothers, bottom line was that they had not gotten a chance like that ever again; they had not even slept in the same room with each other. Their father had called that same day and they had gone over to see him, it seemed like someone in their family was at the hospital. Everyone else in the family had gone to see them, now it was their turn. Funny how they treated this like some sort of life and dead situation when in reality there was nothing wrong with the person.

Okay maybe a couple scratches.

Okay, a fucking car crash and pissible brain damage.

Yeah there was someone at the hospital thing was that their father left after some time, he seemed to want to make sure of something before he left. It wasn't like they really needed to be there really, they could leave, but then again fathers aren't the only annoyance in the world, so where girls and how much they talked about the stupidest things in the world. Sakura and Ino hadn't wanted to leave at all since they started talking to Shisui's wife. This was the reason he was still here, and now his cousin was waking up.

Itachi glanced down at their older Uchiha cousin who had just opened his eyes a few moments before "Hey Itachi-kun, nice to see you here" Itachi grunted and turned to look at the one beside him "Oh hey Sasuke" Sasuke only mimicked his brother. "Are you two the only one's here?"

"Yeah" Itachi said "your wife is eating lunch since she has to feed both your two boys, and the other two monsters are with her as well." the sick man nodded slowly befor he smiled lightly at them. He is after all a very, very strange person and it was one they mostly tried to ignore.

"Funny" he whispered "I haven't see you two in a long time" Itachi shrugged while Sasuke leaned into his brother and sighed closing his eyes, he was tired as hell. Itachi only slightly glanced at his little brother and then back at his cousin. Shisui was only staring now.

"I guess, my father said that you where here and I decided to come see you" more like they had no other choice but to come to see him but it made Shisui smile, Itachi and him where always like brothers, even though Itachi and Sasuke are brothers they seemed to hate each other as just brothers it was like they had to be way off more. There was a moment silence and they were assured that Sasuke was asleep. Yeah, Itachi and Sasuke always had to be more than brother to live in happy peace and both brother's loved it being more.

"Well you two seem to be getting along, I thought you couldn't stand each other" Shisui stated he had to admit he was jealous. One thing was that he could agree Itachi be with a female, but he didn't want anyone male to be close to Itachi as he once seemed to be. Itachi and he had once even been so close that they had kissed, but that drawled out a long talk that made them soon forget that. Itachi was not into Incest he guessed. They were still tight buddies until he grew up and got married and started his job. Itachi was always called matured but Shisui had chewed him out on that, that Itachi was still childish and he needed to grow up and move on in life not stay single for an eternety. Itachi had not cared, he simply did not care for a future family at the moment, after all he had been only sixteen then.

"Maybe it only seems that way" Itachi smiled "he's tired, it's all"

Shisui rose a brow "He's too young to be tired" Itachi shook his head.

"Father, I think he has this idea of trying to get us to date, do you remember the Haruno and Yamanaka girls?" Itachi asked and Shisui's eyes widen with horror as he remembered them. He hated them more than anything and he knew for a fact that so did the brothers that were in the room with him. Though he did have some fond memories of pulling tricks on them which made the girls hate them back, even though they would take anything from Sasuke and still torture him with worship. Sasuke, he had to admit was the one that had suffered more trauma from knowing those girls at such a young age.

"What of them?" he asked.

"They are here, and let's say they won't leave Sasuke alone, they have him so traumatize that he's scared to fall asleep alone," he pointed to the fact that Sasuke was leaning on him passed out "they have smothered him to much, to the point he can't breathe easy. He also easily jumps at any sudden noises"

"Poor Sasuke" Shisui said as he looked at the boy with sympathy "I feel for him"

"Yeah, and he hides behind me" Shisui laughed.

"At least your life is still exiting and all"

"What do you mean?"

"Itachi, I'm not happy" Shisui sighed as he looked out the window, yeah unlike Itachi he had not lived out his young life with any entertainment, he was dead set in becoming mature and the whole marrige ordeal he never had fun "everything has to be perfection and all, I got married sure, have a family what more could I ask for? Sometimes I doubt my love for Andrea it's all" Itachi sighed as well. "Sometimes I feel unfulfilled, like I've missed so much in the world by getting tied down so early, but now I even have anchors….I'm stuck"

"Maybe it's because your dumb head thinks too much that it pushes all rational thought out" Itachi bid out and Shisui grinned.

"That's what I miss! Someone to tell me that I'm not perfect to straight forward...that i'm a complete idiot"

"Your weird man" Shisui only laughed.

"Thanks for coming to visit me" Itachi shrugged.

"I would not have come but dad wanted something out of it I guess"

"I'm confused Itachi-kun what the hell is going on" Itachi sighed and looked out the window.

"Have you ever thought about how you and Andrea met? Were you even planning on getting married at twenty three? Didn't you have a plan and goals set that were not held back because of her and now your children" Shisui sighed and nodded, that was one of the main reasons he felt un-happy, somehow he felt his life was empty of everything he ever wished to do. there was nothing wrong getting married at twenty-three, just it woould have been nice to be with someone they maybe were sure they loved. Maybe took some time to explore, maybe twenty-five was a more sure age.

Now he was stuck.

"I met her when my father asked me to help my Godmother Anna out, she had another godchild and needed a date, that's where it started, but I guess I made the decision on my own" Itachi rolled his eyes at his idiotic cousin. It was well known that Shisui never did what he was told; they took advantage of him by making him think that they never wanted him to do this and that. His life was controlled by them telling him to take this one direction just so they could lead him down to where they really wanted him.

"Whatever Shisui, maybe you should think more on what you say and pay attention; even Sasuke could see through such a stupid thing, you're what now? Twenty nine?" Itachi never failed to make him feel Stupid.

"Itachi"

"You seem so much more Naive maybe you need to grow up some more, couldn't you see it now?"

"See?"

"Look, if you want to do something than do it now before you grow to old, you have a child that is already five and one that is two, a wife and your life is probably in the gutters, but come on" Shisui shook his head "Is that what you wanted?"

"Not really"

"Then ask why you have it" Itachi could see it so plainly now, Uchiha's were stubborn that they probably never realized how they were pushed to marry a certain someone just to fit in their clan and keep it prestigious. They were so stuck on the fame and how feared they wanted to be that they never really cared of anything more. Love did not exist in their vocabulary and neither did any other consoling word, there was no such thing as a love marrige for the Uchihas.

It was all a tangle of deception.

And they are smaked in the middle also getting played. Thing is, Itachi loves Sasuke and Sasuke loves Itachi so they can never be swayed from what they love. Many married young and regretted their lives, for one Itachi knew that his father was a revel, he married when he was old and he was doing what he wanted, his mother was young though, but age didn't seem to matter to them since they were truly in love.

Even so for some reason their father wanted them to marry young. The old man didn't even marry young, what a discriminator alond with every other Uchiha.

"Itachi I don't under-"

"Look, forget I said anything, just keep doing what you've been doing" Shisui was even more confused now but decided to drop it as his eyes settled on both Uchiha brothers. Both men looked yet so young and yet so tired, he could not help but wonder what was going on between them and the two girls that had come to make their lives a living hell, he was really glad that he was not in their shoes. That made him feel a little bit betther about his pathetic life.

"Are you going to be leaving soon" Itachi only gave a sharp nod and the door opened with two kids screaming and yelling as in stepped three women. Beside's Ino and Sakura it was Andrea, she was brunet with almost gold brown hair and green eyes to go with it, her skin a tan color and her nose sharp with full pink lips. Her figure was not that much bad since she worked out since she was scared that it was ruined after having two children.

"Shisui your awake" she said and rushed to his side while the kids stopped fighting and ran over to their father.

"Daddy!!" they jumped on him. Sure his life was nothing but a planned out plot by his own father, in a way Shisui looked happy, Itachi guessed it was not that bad. Still, the situation he and Sasuke found themselves in was not really good at all; it was something that they had to find a way to get rid of fast. They still had a long time to go, it had only been two week and they were barely going on to the third of the first month. There was about nine left.

Itachi wanted to cut that time; he wanted them gone especially for Sasuke's sake.

"Hey Itachi" Ino said as she walked over to them "as soon as Sasuke-kun wakes up can we head to the mall, Andrea said that there was one near here we could go to" Ino smiled down at the older Uchiha and was pulled back.

"You idiot! Don't speak to him at all" Now everyone was looking at them, unlike Ino, Sakura could hold a grudge for years (though Itachi personally thought she should have starred in The Grudge movie). She would not dare speak to Itachi, the thing was Itachi could care less if she did or didn't, so long as she also left his brother alone, but that was not an option with her now was it, she was a freak. A Ponk haired freak that was after his boyfriend.

That's right, Boyfriend.

On the other hand, Sakura was really starting to scare Ino as well, in a way Ino already wanted to drop it, she had more sense but Sakura was like a selfish child, it scared her to think of what else she would come up with to have Sasuke under her thumb. It had sunk in hard on Ino that they had nearly raped Sasuke when he had asked them to let him go, they had not listened. In a way she was also scaring herslef and the person she was becoming. At the thought of being tittled a rapist, she knew something had to stop and that's her pusuasion of Sasuke.

If they couldn't fill his wishes, then was it even love at all but a spiral of uncontrollable lust. She was scared that she herself would find herself doing so stupid again. "Come on Sakura, it's not that bad, Sasuke-kun is asleep"

"Then we wake him up"

"But he looks--"

"Shut up! Aren't you suppose to be my friend" Ino sighed and Sakura huffed "Fine, then I'll wake him up" She pushed Ino aside and neared Sasuke as she said in her want to be seductive voice "Wake up my handsome Sasuke-kun" Sasuke's eyes snapped open and he looked at where that noise had come from, it was like hearing nails scratch down a chalk board.

"Get away!" he hissed and slapped her face away.

"Awe Sasuke-kun, you're so cute" People cringed at her voice. "Alright, let's go, our time here is done!" She yelled and begun to walk out.

"Who really wants to follow her at all?"Shisui asked and Sasuke and Itachi where unwilling to move, Ino hesitated a bit but then followed.

"Come on you guys!" Ino called back.

"That's it I'm jumping off this building!" Sasuke hissed and ran for the window but Itachi was there to stop him before his little brother could even open the widow at all. Sasuke was so close to it but Itachi's string arms around his waist stopped him while Shisui and his wife sweat dropped at the brother drama.

"Wait Otouto, before you kill your self-" Itachi leaned down and then whispered into Sasuke's ear, making Sasuke blush as he felt the hot breath. But his concentration was soon taken by the naughty words Itachi was talking to him, suddenly he felt the zeal to do just as his brother had suggested. Andrea and Shisui where confused at the brothers actions and just watched them.

"Let's go Sasuke" Itachi said firmly and walked away with his little brother at his heels.

Who would have ever thought that Uchiha Itachi knew just how to have fun at a mall? This was going to turn out to be an interesting experience for both of them, and there was no way that Sakura and Ino could disrupt that.

Or was there…?

Anything at that moment was about possible.

Whoa! I haven't up-date this in a month time (I guess) THANK YOU ALLL FOR YOUR REVIEWS!! This was more on the insight on how all Uchiha members are played (Shisui being one of the ones who fell) Itachi and Sasuke are way smarter.
