Shadow-

Itachi version

"That's right," Orochimaru purred, between searing kisses. He had one hand wrapped around Itachi's hard cock. The other entangled in his signature long, black wavy hair, trapping him where he was, straddling his hips, riding him hard. "Come for me, my little star."

Itachi growled. Fuck. He hated that pet name. He wanted to say no. But he couldn't.

And to make matters worse, he had an appointment soon and if he didn't come very soon he'd be late, and Itachi prided himself on always being on time for his schedules. Which was exactly why Orochimaru insisted on an afternoon tryst rather than a morning or evening one today.

Frustrated, Itachi leaned back, propping himself up a little on his knees. "Then suck me, hard…"

Orochimaru was always willing to do that- actually to be fair, he'd do anything to please him. Well, anything except let Itachi out of the bargain he'd forced him into- when he was fourteen...

Still he couldn't think about that right now either. Orochimaru was amazing in bed- or at least he would be if Itachi was ever there willingly…

The snake knew what he wanted and he wasted no time teasing him with it. Slowly swirling his tongue over the head of his cock before taking it in his mouth and finally deep throating him.

Itachi could feel Orochimaru getting closer as well and leaned back on his arm to continue riding his cock. He could feel the bastard hardening even more inside him and moaned as it teased his prostate with every thrust.

He moaned as he came, Orochimaru willingly swallowed, moaning a little as he did. He continued to suck until Itachi was dry and then flipped him over so that Itachi was on his back.

"Yeah," Itachi said, arching his back as Orochimaru held him down and thrust into him wildly. "Fuck me…"

Orochimaru needed only a few more ragged thrusts before he came, spilling a load of cream inside him. And captured him in another long kiss, he returned it automatically, before he could stop himself.

Itachi groaned as the alarm on his phone went off, startling him out of his sex drenched haze. He couldn't decide what was more humiliating- that he had to sleep with his boss or that the bastard always managed to get him off.

Honestly, the snake bastard should've been a fucking porn star instead of a singer- and he knew it. Itachi's life would certainly be more fun if they'd never met...

"Itachi…" Orochimaru whispered, against the Uchiha's neck as the younger man started to slide out of his bed. "I never said I was done with you…"

"I told you, I have a photoshoot in less than an hour, and you marked me. Again." Itachi growled, pulling away from the creepy CEO of White Snake Entertainment. He put his jeans on and tugged his shirt over his head, well aware that Orochimaru was watching him intently. "Legend Swimwear, remember? I'm their brand ambassador. Isn't it your rule that says no marks?"

"You're especially cranky today. You know I'm always happy to make an exception for you."

"Which really means you're always willing to make an exception out of me…" Itachi snorted, he had to carry around a vial of foundation with him to cover up all of the marks this bastard liked to put on him. "Bastard. Just stay away from Sasuke or I will destroy you and this whole company. And you know I can. After all, I still make over seventy five percent of the money in Division One and I know every dirty secret you have."

Clearly the bastard was not impressed, he actually smiled- icily. "Yes, my very first little star. You know, we could shower together then you'd be on time for the shoot. But, hurt Sasuke?" Orochimaru's eyes widened in mock surprise. They had this discussion everytime Itachi slept with the bastard. "I'm hurt. Why would I? Shadow is going to be number one worldwide. I can feel it already. By far my best creation since I introduced you to the world."

Itachi agreed. Musically speaking, Obsession was a great song. And his little brother and the other four members of the group called Shadow executed their singing and dancing perfectly on stage, every time. There was no doubt that they would soon be well loved by legions of fans.

Like Itachi, the members of Shadow had practiced singing on treadmills for years so that they could perform the complex choreography of their songs and still sing live on stage. Orochimaru had been a singer himself and was very, very picky about that which is why they only had a handful of idols active right now. If you couldn't sing live consistently, you weren't going to debut in this company- at least not as an idol. That was why they managed a ton of models and actors too.

Itachi had tried everything he could think of to stop Sasuke from following him into the music business- or at least not in this company. So, he was heartbroken when he found out that his baby brother had gone behind his back and been accepted as a trainee at the company where Itachi had trained since he was eight.

Well, everything except telling him the truth… Because, seriously, how do you tell a nine year old that you were trying to protect him from the very man who had taken them in after their parents died?

Itachi couldn't. But, more importantly, Naruto had been Sasuke's best friend since they were seven. But now, not only were they longtime boyfriends, they were also both in Shadow. Itachi couldn't take that bond away from him- not even to protect him.

Sasuke wanted to be in White Snake because not only was that where Naruto got accepted to train, but because Itachi worked there too. And Sasuke had never stopped wanting to be just like him.

Itachi and Sasuke's absurdly wealthy parents had been White Snake's largest shareholders- along with Orochimaru. They'd founded the company together fourteen years ago. But those stocks and not much else went missing when Fugaku and Mikoto were robbed and killed in their own home seven years ago.

A drunk with a criminal record several folders thick was charged, tried and sentenced for the murders, but there was no doubt in Itachi's mind that Orochimaru had those stocks squirreled away somewhere. That was no normal robbery. Thank the Gods that Sasuke had been with Naruto that night, it was the housekeeper who found their bodies...

Itachi had heard his father arguing on the phone with Orochimaru only a few hours before the murders.

His parents and Sasuke had surprised him backstage at one of Itachi's concerts in town that night.

To be fair, it wasn't unusual for them to argue- Itachi's parents didn't want to see the company's trainees abused in exchange for money and further investment. After all, Itachi joined as their youngest trainee ever! His parents always insisted that they had the money to invest in new projects. But Orochimaru was too greedy to listen. He wanted more than that.

The practice of selling the trainees' bodies to wealthy sponsors- male and female- in exchange for more capital, was an arrangement that everyone in Konoha's entertainment industry knew about. But it was rarely spoken of.

Usually the trainees would only have to sit with sponsors and drink or have dinner with them. But if a sponsor wanted to fuck them, the company would happily look the other way- for more money, of course! The sponsors just weren't allowed to leave any bruises or any other sort of marks on them.

Itachi had never had to go out with a sponsor- but that was only because Orochimaru had taken him as his personal plaything. Meaning, in exchange for the snake keeping his hands- and the sponsors- away from Sasuke, Itachi had to sleep with him.

Itachi had inherited their parent's remaining estate without incident. He and Sasuke had all the money they would ever need and much more. Especially since Itachi had become a solo artist at 13 and at only 21, he was still continuously adding to it, by putting out new music and touring.

But Itachi knew that Sasuke didn't want to leave the company. Why would he? He and his group mates were finally about to debut! Tonight they were releasing their very first song and music video at their showcase.

Itachi was very proud of his brother but more than anything, he was still terrified of Orochimaru selling him or worse- touching him.

Orochimaru couldn't be trusted to keep his word. Itachi knew of too many talented trainees and their families whom the bastard had thrown away for not going along with what he wanted.

Evidence planted against the trainees made it look like the kids or even their parents were guilty of prostituting them and then trying to make the company look bad!

No one with a brain should ever believe such ridiculous lies- and yet four times, their documents and doctored "recordings" had held up in court.

Fortunately or not, White Snake was a very successful company even though they only had Itachi and two idol groups besides Shadow. There were still a lot of successful models, and actors signed to them as well, and they had to go through the same hell as the future singers and dancers in order to debut.

The infamous casting couches of Hollywood had nothing on Konoha's sponsor culture. Even trainees that had graduated into big stars were not safe from being sold to sponsors. Because the sponsors liked to dangle their "successful investments" over the heads of their favorites, using their past "association" to trap them into giving in, over and over again.

Idols' images and reputations were of dire importance in Konoha. All pretty much anyone- a sponsor or not- had to do was whisper a star's name to a reporter and their career could literally be over in the span of a single night.

"Are you coming to the showcase tonight?" Orochimaru asked.

Itachi didn't want to. This bastard would be there. But what choice did he have? Sasuke and the other boys would be heartbroken if he didn't go. After all, they knew he was done with his tour...

"Yeah."

"Then I'll see you later," Orochimaru purred as he slid into a robe.

Itachi slammed the door between them. The Snake was right. He was especially pissed today.

But that was only because his little brother was debuting tonight and he wanted everything to go well for them. He remembered his own successful debut and he wanted everything to go even better for them.

But first, he hurried into the elevator and went down one floor to his apartment. He loved everything about his beautiful abode- except that it was practically right next to Orochimaru's.

The spacious two bedroom apartment was tiny compared to the mansion where he and Sasuke lived outside of town while their parents were alive. But it was the perfect size for himself.

The kitchen had granite countertops, industrial grade appliances, heated floors and a jacuzzi in the double master bathrooms. There was even a pool up on the rooftop, but Itachi never used it anymore.

If he wanted to swim he went home to his parent's house now. Catching Orochimaru jerking off while he was watching Itachi swimming two years ago literally ruined the pool here.

He hurried into the shower and then into some dry clothes. He was not late yet, but he was definitely cutting it close. Legend swimwear had been his very first brand sponsorship and he was lucky that they still wanted to work with him.

He worked with a lot of companies now, but the Kpop world was a busy place. There were always new acts for brand designers to work with and to follow in addition to new companies taking in new trainees to launch new groups and get a piece of the action.

Still, Itachi had been watching over his brother and the other members of Shadow for years. There was no doubt that the five of them were going to impress everyone. Not only were they all great dancers, but they were great singers as well.

And even though it was cheesy, they were called Shadow because they were supposed to be ninjas- which were sometimes called Shadow Warriors. Why not? After all, they were literally still just kids and EXO were called aliens that had superpowers. BAP had been space bunnies and A-Jax had been Greek heroes.

So to become ninjas, the members of Shadow trained almost every day for three years with a crazy pervert named Master Jiraiya to be able to look and perform like martial artists while also being able to do tumbling and acrobatics. Luckily, Master Jiraiya only liked girls so Itachi didn't have to keep an eye on him too.

Itachi already had his hands full with Orochimaru! Not to mention now that his tour was over, the Snake wanted him in the studio every day to work on his new album- even though Itachi was only allowed to sing and occasionally contribute song lyrics. Bastard...

Well, Itachi checked the time again- he didn't have time to dry his hair before he left, but that was okay since he'd be in or near the water for most of the shoot.

"Hey," The photographer said as Itachi hurried into the pool area of the famous hotel where they always took Legend's pictures. "I wasn't sure you were going to make it today."

Itachi blushed. "I'm so sorry. There's a lot on my mind today-"

"Hey, it's fine, you're not late, I was just worried because you're usually here before we can even get set up!"

"I'm sorry, I should've called…"

"Don't worry about it, I'm just glad you made it." So, are you ready to get started? I had the stylist lay out jewel tones because you look so good in them, but you can pick out whatever patterns and colors you want. There's a box of each style and cut."

"Yeah," Itachi smiled, and went into the changing room. He wasn't paying attention to the colors today. He just made sure he had at least one of each type of cut and style of suit. He knew he looked good.

Usually he posed himself perfectly, but today he was just too tired. Oh, he hit every pose that the photographer asked for, looking as beautiful and mysterious as always. But he hoped they couldn't tell that his heart was a million miles away today.

But by the time he put on the last one- pair of swimming trunks in cobalt blue, Itachi was tired and ready for a nap.

Leave it to Ororchimaru to decide to fuck him while he was still jetlagged from his tour on top of this being such an important day for him and the rest of the company! Bastard…

Sadly, when he was done here he had to go to the company headquarters to talk to Secretary Asshole- Kabuto, about who knows what before he could meet the members of Shadow for lunch at the restaurant. Even though from there he only had to go to the showcase and he wasn't going to be performing tonight, he still wished he could take a nap.

"Alright," The photographer said. "Looks like we're done here. Thanks, we got a lot of great shots, I think these will give the company plenty of options for this campaign. But are you sure you're okay? You don't seem like yourself today…"

Itachi forced a smile. "I'm fine, thanks. I'll see you next time."

He hurried back to his clothes and dressed quickly, but he wasn't fine…

After tonight, Sasuke's contract with White Snake Entertainment took full effect. It would be too late to drop out of the group and go to another company... The thought of leaving the company their parents started made him sick, but so did the thought of Orochimaru putting his hands on his baby brother…

Well, nothing could be done about it. He couldn't convince Sasuke to leave the company when he was nine without revealing his relationship to the Snake. What could he say now that would make a difference?

After tonight Sasuke and the others would no longer be trainees- they would be true monster rookies. The public was going to go wild meeting them.

Not only were they talented, they were also very young which the public typically found fascinating. Sasuke, Naruto and Gaara were all just 16 years old. Neji and Haku were 17. By average age, they were Kpop's youngest boy group ever to debut.

Itachi sighed as he walked in the front door of the company's massive building. A few trainees and visitors pointed and stared or waved, but Itachi only nodded- bowing slightly as he hurried into the elevator. The sooner he got this over with, the better.

Honestly, he was starving and it had been weeks since he'd seen his brother for more than five minutes or so before one of them had to run to get to practice or something.

Haku had invited Itachi to meet them at the restaurant tonight without telling the others. He and Shadow's oldest member were very close. Haku accidentally walked in on Orochimaru fucking him in one of the dance practice rooms once and reluctantly kept it a secret for him.

It had been five years and the memory was still hard for both of them. Since that day Itachi had been keeping an extra close eye on what he could already tell would be the future members of Sasuke's group. He worried about them because Orochimaru actually grabbed the eleven year old's hand and started to pull him into the room- right in front of him!

Shit, it was bad enough that Itachi had been thirteen his first time! He shuddered, he didn't want to imagine being initiated any younger...

And, of course, it made him more desperate than ever to protect his brother…

"Ah, there you are," A familiar voice sneered.

Itachi smirked as he stepped off the elevator, only to come face to face with the very bastard he was here to see. Kabuto continued, "You know it's too bad that you can't manage to get here on time like you do everywhere else."

"What's the matter, lapdog," Itachi purred. "Still mad that the Snake doesn't want to make you his bitch too? I'd love to let you have him all to yourself. But, you know, usually he doesn't like it if his bedmates are old enough to drive..."

Kabuto was Orochimaru's secretary and he too had walked in on Itachi with their boss. Only Kabuto was jealous because he very clearly wanted the Snake's attention.

"Bastard. How dare you say something like that?" Kabuto was desperate to stifle his rage and dragged him into his office.

"Because it's true and you know it." Itachi shrugged. "So, why am I here? I have to go get ready for dinner with my brother."

"Speaking of the little brat, Danzou reported he just caused a scene at the West Studio. Something about a striptease for the new photographer and openly flirting with the boyfriend he isn't supposed to have..."

Itachi snorted. When he was sixteen he'd done worse but Kabuto didn't need to know that. Rebelling against the Snake's control was better than sex- especially if he was sleeping around while he did it. Maybe after the Showcase Itachi should go to Club Inferno and get laid-

"Would you really prefer him having a girlfriend? God, at least this way no one is getting pregnant."

Kabuto's scowl deepened. "This isn't funny, Itachi!"

"Yes it is. Sasuke and Naruto have been inseparable since they were seven. Telling Sasuke to stay away from him is like pouring gasoline on a bonfire and expecting it to go out."

"Actually that's trying to tell either of you Uchiha's anything! But the company has already built an image for them and-"

"Then maybe you should fucking stop or by the time he's my age he'll be worse than me."

"Maybe if you'd stop encouraging-"

"I'm not. That's just who he is. If Sasuke sees a reason for things and he'll accept them. But you're being unreasonable. We lost our parents when he was nine and I'm always gone or working. What else could he do? He latched onto Naruto- the only person who was always there for him. He's always done everything else that you assholes have told him to. Why can't that be enough?"

"Watch your language…" Kabuto grumbled.

"Or what," Itachi smirked. "You'll take it out of my paycheck again? Go ahead. In fact, the next time anyone in the company swears, take it out of my check and I'll still make at least three times what you do. Besides, other companies actually make up cute gay couples for their groups. You don't have to."

"It does kind of ruin the perfect boyfriend fantasy for the female fans though… Sasuke is the sexy one, you know."

"There's still Gaara, Neji and Haku."

"Are you kidding? Neji and Haku look like they're gay. That leaves just Gaara." Kabuto said.

Itachi laughed. "And you think you don't, dumbass? You could always add some other trainees to the lineup."

"None of the others are even close to ready to debut yet, you know that, Itachi." Orochimaru said from the doorway to his office. "Konohamaru and the others are just pitiful in comparison to your brother and the rest of Shadow. And using actors or models? That would be even worse."

"Other companies do it all the time and their groups are successful."

"Shino, Kiba, Shikamaru and Suigetsu all failed to make it into Shadow and now they're all in groups that failed for different companies. White Snake isn't just another company, Itachi. It's mine." The Snake said. "Still, you're right about the chemistry between Naruto and your brother. That can't be faked, for now we should just wait and see what the fans think. You should head to the restaurant now if you are still planning to join the boys there."

"B-But sir, we needed to tell him-"

"That can wait until Monday, Kabuto."

Itachi hurried back to his car. But now he was dreading Monday. Damn it, what the fuck happened this time?
