nyeh.first fanfic. this is my current fave pairing and its like..3:00 am. DONT HURT MEEEE! it was spur of the moment and its a drabble! and..i was listening to three days grace for most of it..wich most of their songs remind me of itachi and i could not help myself!

disclaimer: i dun own naruto..oh..but imagine if i did...

Itachi hated it. He hated the possibility of himself having any weakness at all...even one so simple.Needing.Needing was a weakness.He denied the fact that he needed him. Merely depriving himself of the truth.

A hand running up his side,warm arms wrapped tightly around himself,even a mere rough squeezing of his shoulder.Things that calmed him down.Took him back to reality when he was a mere few feet from jumping over the edge.Things that made him feel real...as if assuring him that he was still a part of the human race.

He did doubt it sometimes..that he was still human. No matter how many times Kisame assured him of it.

Now was one of those times.

A mere hour had passed since they had escaped from the encounter with the Sasuke,Jiraiya,and the kyuubi-brat.They sat,legs dangling from the edge of a cliff.Normally they would have kept going..But Amaterasu was a strain on Itachi's body..and he needed rest..another useless need,he assured himself.

As they sat there Itachi had a blank look on his face..more so than usual.Kisame proded him in the shoulder."Itachi-san..are you okay?" the older man asked,a bit worried.Itachi snapped out of the trance he seemed to be in."You know ill never be okay.Im insane..."Kisame looked even more worried than he had before he asked the question.He hated it when Itachi got like this.

When he doubted his sanity, Itachi could be..drastic.."Your fine,Itachi-san..Genius is just applied insanity,so..." The shark-like nin trailed off.Itachi snapped his head toward the other,eyes flashing."That was my younger brother..and you see what i did to him? I've wrecked him..completely distorted his reality..all the things I've done to him...A real person wouldn't do that to a brother,much less another person.."

Kisame sighed,unsure of what to say, not really knowing what to say, in order to comfort him.Itachi stood up, staying dangerously close to the edge of the cliff."If i were to jump, right now,would anyone miss me? It could be repentance for my sins.Sasuke would be..overjoyed." Itachi stated,his voice cracking a little on the 'o' of the last word,and taking a step closer to the edge.

Kisame jumped up,wrapping his arms around the waist of the smaller male,pulling him back just as he leaned forward.He lost his balance in his haste to keep Itachi from jumping,and they fell to the ground.Itachi didn't move. He just stayed there, staring off into the distance for a few minutes,Kisame's arms still tightly en-circling his waist.Kisame leaned forward,whispering in Itachi's ear,

"I'd miss you."

i just now realized that Itachi sounds sorta..emo..and it actually turned out kinda fluffy in the end.nyeh.oh well..PLZ review,flames are welcome as well.i just need some feedback...this ish muh first ficcy..so...if i find out from you guys that i totally suck ill stop. so i needs your advice.
