Sasuke came slamming into the room, shouting, his words coming out so rapidly they stumbled over each other. Everyone in the room stared at him in various forms and degrees of surprise. Everyone except Kyousuke and Itachi. To them nothing existed but the other. The kiss ended, but still they stood arms wrapped around one another, eyes locked together. Neither speaks, and neither feels the need for words at that moment. For the first time in his life, Kyousuke understood what love could truly be, and what it was that made Sasuke and Kakashi walk around in their own little world, nothing existing outside the presence of one another. As if this thought were a pin that burst the bubble of that happiness that surrounded them, reality crashed back in and Kyousuke jerked at the shouting coming from behind him.
"Sasuke, calm down. If you don't I'm not going to be able to understand a word you're saying. And put that damn kunai away, you and I both know you're not going to use it." Tsunade pauses and looks over Sasuke's shoulder as Kakashi limps into the room. "And just what do you think you're doing here? I told you to stay in that bed after your last little escapade! You're never going to finish healing if you keep running from the hospital."
Growling, Sasuke advances on Tsunade's desk, either not noticing or just ignoring the Anbu agents in the room. "I won't calm down, and I won't put my kunai away until I get some damn answers! Where the hell is Kyousuke, and where do you get off sending the Anbu to arrest him! You know damn well he hasn't done a damn thing wrong. He and I have both been very well behaved under the conditions. So where is he? You lock him up in the same secret place you've locked up my brother? Do you enjoy locking up innocent men?"
Kyousuke turns to face Sasuke without moving away from Itachi so that the older man's arms could remain wrapped around him. Blinking in shock at Sasuke's tirade, Kyousuke leans back against Itachi, lifting his hands to rest lightly on Itachi's where they were clasped over his stomach. He gives Itachi a quick glance before jumping into the fray before it got out of hand, seeing Tsunade's anger rising quickly. "Sasuke, she's right, you need to calm down. I haven't been arrested, I was brought here by the Anbu at Tsunade's request. As for why they were sent rather than a regular messenger, I can't say. You'd have to ask her."
Leaning over Kyousuke's shoulder, Itachi adds quietly as his brother turns to face them, "And I'm not exactly innocent, Sasuke. You know that."
Sasuke turns, blinking and staring in shock. He'd come in so hastily and so angry that he hadn't even noticed his brother and friend standing in the corner of the room. He frowned at the Anbu that flanked to two, but said nothing about it. He flicks his gaze back and forth between one and the other, eventually lowering it to look where Itachi's arms were wrapped around Kyousuke's waist, Kyousuke's hands resting on Itachi's. Smiling in spite of himself and feeling his anger beginning to fade under this obvious sign of affection, Sasuke turns back to the Hokage's desk, glaring at the older woman before the last of his rage has a chance to fade away. He feels Kakashi slip up behind him, resting his hands on Sasuke's shoulders and the last of his anger fades into nothingness, leaving him relieved and a bit tired.
Tsunade nods and leans forward, bracing her hands on the top of her desk, looking at each ninja before she speaks. "You two, if you're quite done making out in my office, can step out of that corner and come to my desk so we can talk. And as for you two, Kakashi you need to get back to the hospital, and Sasuke since you're already here, I guess you may as well stay. It'll save Kyousuke the trouble of telling you later what I say."
Complying, the two in the corner walk over to the Hokage's desk, Kyousuke blushing in spite of himself, and Itachi grinning. The Anbu agents follow close behind the pair, standing just behind them, ready should any trouble arise. The only one that notices their movement is Kakashi. He watches them move silently across the room right behind Sasuke's friend and older brother, but doesn't comment. Looking back at Tsunade, he frowns and steps closer to Sasuke's back, mimicking the position he'd first seen Kyousuke and Itachi, and had readopted in front of Tsunade's desk. Sasuke leaned back against Kakashi's chest without thought, automatically moving himself into a position that wouldn't hurt his older lover, then resumes glaring at Tsunade, waiting for the explanation to start.
Tsunade sighs in annoyance, but doesn't bother arguing with Kakashi. Leaning back in her chair, she crosses her arms over her chest and turns her attention to Kyousuke and Itachi. "I sent the Anbu for you because I knew you'd likely ignore a messenger. A messenger had no chance of getting you here by words alone, so I sent someone that could force you if need be. I didn't want word getting out that I sent for you because I wished to talk to you and Itachi both, and that's the only thing the messenger could have said that would have budged you. If you'd even bothered to answer the door."
Kyousuke relaxes, seeming a bit embarrassed again, because he knew she was right. He hadn't answered the door when the Anbu came, and likely wouldn't have either. Had they not forced the issue, Kyousuke would never have known that Itachi was waiting for him. Trying to change the subject before he started blushing again, Kyousuke pulls on his best glare, ignoring the amusement in Tsunade's eyes. "Yeah, so what did you want me for? You still haven't told me that."
Tsunade nods, but remains silent for a few moments, letting her gaze settle briefly on each of the four in front of her desk. Finally, taking a deep breath, she leans forward and rests her hands on the desk in front of her, locking her gaze on Itachi's. "I think I've come up with a way to put an end to your imprisonment that will make the entire village happy, and that will make all in this room happy as well."
Itachi lifts his eyebrows, but doesn't speak. Kyousuke leans forward, his hands clenching around Itachi's where they rested, clasped in front of his stomach once again. "You mean, you've found a way to let him free without the entire village coming after him and you? You're not going to kill him?"
"Of course I'm not going to kill him!" Tsunade leans back, frowning at Kyousuke until the younger ninja leaned back against his love once more, then continues. "I never had any intention of having him put to death if I could avoid it. I'm going to be honest though, there's always a chance that this won't work, and if it doesn't, one or both of you might die, and there's nothing I can do to stop it."
