Everything was fine for the next two weeks. While Itachi refused to leave the house, nothing else really changed. He was still terrified that Kisame was going to come after him. There was little doubt in his mind that the older man would come after him eventually.
Mikoto knocked on his door. "Itachi?" she said. She walked in and smiled at him. "Are you sure you don't want to come with us?"
Itachi shook his head. "No, you guys go have fun at the party. I'm just going to work on a paper and maybe order a pizza," he said.
"Well, if you need us, we're only a call away, alright?" Mikoto said. Itachi waved goodbye as she left.
It wasn't the complete truth that he was too busy. He didn't want to be stared at or talked about, so a party was out of the question. He had finished the paper earlier, so he grabbed one of the books he was required to read and began reading it.
Itachi lost track of time, and when he looked up, three hours had passed since his family had left for the party. He heard shuffling down the hall and wondered if his family had returned early. He stood up and stretched before opening his door. "Mom? Dad? Sasuke?" he called out.
When he didn't get an answer, he left the room and looked around. Itachi turned around to look down the other side of the hall, and when he glanced back around, his heart seemed to stop.
Kisame only laughed and walked closer up to him. "Did you miss me, Itachi?" he said. Itachi turned around and shut the door. Unfortunately, there was no lock, so he was forced to hold it closed.
"Please leave me alone," Itachi pleaded. He had started to cry. He didn't know what to do.
Kisame forced the door open, causing his former student to be knocked out of the way. Itachi crawled backwards to get away from him. "I just can't believe how much trouble you are," Kisame said. He reached out and grabbed Itachi's forearm, pulling him up to his feet.
Itachi turned his head away from him and tried to pull away. "Let go of me. Don't touch me! Get away," he said.
Kisame pushed him towards his bed and pinned his arms above his head. "You belong to me, you little bitch," he said angrily. He possessively kissed him all over his face and neck.
Itachi desperately struggled under the larger man. His felt his pants being unbuttoned, and he pressed his knees together. "No! Stop it," he said. He felt sick as he felt Kisame's hand slip down his pants and touch him.
Kisame marked him at the base of his neck. He felt himself stiffening as he heard the younger man's pathetic noises. "I've waited for two and a half months to fuck you until you're all bloody. It really took control to not corner you after the trial…had to get some things ready for us," he said.
Itachi's pants and underwear were slid down past his knees, and he was hysterical. He was struggling and squirming, trying to get away from him. Itachi finally managed to land a kick hard enough to get him off him. He yanked his underwear on his hips, grabbed his phone, and ran out of the room while Kisame was knocked down. He ran down the hall, turned right, and went into his parents' room. He hid in their closet.
Itachi opened his phone and dialed his father's number. It rung several times before his father answered. "Itachi? What's wrong?" Fugaku said.
"He's here. In the house," Itachi whispered.
"Where are you?! I'm coming, 'Tachi. Don't call the police...other than Kakashi, we can't trust them," Fugaku said.
"Okay. I-I'm hiding in your closet," Itachi whispered. "I hear him."
Kisame was walking around the house. "Itachi, this isn't the kind of game I wanted to play with you. If you come out now and apologize, I won't have to beat you so severely," he said.
Itachi felt tears falling down his cheeks as he brought his knees up to his chest and scooted to the very back of the closet. He heard the door open, so he covered his mouth to try and stay as quiet as possible. "Itachi, are you in here?" he said. He held his breath as he tried so desperately to become noiseless.
"Stay calm. Don't move," Fugaku said. He was speeding down the highway, but he was still almost thirty minutes away.
Itachi heard the closet door open, and he could only stare in horror as Kisame flipped the lights on. "Found you," he said. He grabbed a handful of Itachi's hair and yanked him up before taking the phone out of his hand. "Is this Fugaku Uchiha, then?" he said.
"Don't you touch my son, you bastard!" Fugaku yelled.
Kisame pulled the younger man's hair, causing him to let out a pained whimper. "Oh, I'm going to do so much more than touch him," he said. He held the phone up to Itachi. "Tell your Daddy bye now."
Itachi met the older man's gaze before he spoke quietly. "B-bye Dad. I love you," he said before the phone was turned off.
Kisame threw the phone across the room before he shoved Itachi against the wall. "What am I going to do with you?" he chided.
Itachi made a quick decision to fight back and make it harder for him. Sasuke had made him learn a few basic self-defense moves after his breaks and fractures had healed. He made a fist and hit Kisame as hard as he could manage in the chin. When he stumbled back, Itachi ducked under him and ran out of the room. He bolted down the hall and into another corridor before hiding in one of the guest rooms. He slid under the bed and covered his mouth to quiet his breathing.
Kisame was opening all the doors and searching the rooms. "Itachi? Fuck, I'm going to beat the hell out of you when I find you," he yelled. He noticed one of the doors wasn't shut all the way, so he opened it. "I know you're in here. Make it easy on yourself and come out, Itachi," he said.
Itachi stayed completely still and held his breath as he watched Kisame open the closet. He squeezed his eyes shut when he seen the feet approaching the bed. The older man crouched down and looked under the bed. He wasted no time before grabbing Itachi's ankle and dragging him out. Itachi responded by kicking and holding onto the bed post. "You're like a fucking feral animal. It's a huge fucking turn on to see you trying to get away, but I'm not in the mood to play right now," he said before smacking his ass.
Itachi yelped but continued to kick and hold on to the bed post. "Leave me alone! I'm not going anywhere with you!" he screamed.
Kisame kicked him in the side, causing him to let go and hold his side. He used this chance to get on top of him and choke him. Itachi beat on his chest with his hands. Kisame didn't let go until the younger man had started to go limp. "You'll do what I tell you to do!" he said.
Itachi coughed as air filled his lungs and wheezed, his chest heaving. He was exhausted and terrified. He turned his head as he heard a car slam shut. Kisame put a hand over his mouth, and Itachi let him until he heard his father screaming his name. He bit down on Kisame's hand and let out a piercing scream for his father.
Kisame let go of him. "I'll be back for you, and next time, I'll bring help," he said angrily before running for the nearest exit.
A few seconds later, Fugaku ran into the room and held on tightly to his son. Itachi hugged him and just sobbed. He rubbed the back of his son's head and worked on calming him down. "It's okay, 'Tachi. I got you," he said.
"He said he'll be back with help," Itachi said through his sobbing. "I don't want to go with him."
Fugaku stood up with his son and looked him over. Other than a few bruises and bleeding knuckles, he seemed to be fine. "I'll keep you safe. Come on, let's get you dressed and go pick up your mother and Sasuke," he said.
Itachi walked with his father back to his room where he pulled his navy sweat pants back on. He wiped away any tears left and turned back around to face his father. Fugaku put a hand around his shoulder and lead him out of the house to his car.
When they were buckled, Fugaku started to drive. "Itachi, I'm taking you to your uncle to stay with for a while. That way he won't be able to find you," he said.
"Uncle Madara?" Itachi said. "He hates me, Dad."
Fugaku focused on driving. "I called him after you called me earlier. He said that he wouldn't mind you staying with him until everything blows over with the Akatsuki," he said. "And no, your uncle does not hate you. He's just…"
Itachi didn't argue. "Okay," he said.
"Kakashi is driving Mikoto and Sasuke home. He's going to check over the house. I'm going to take you to Uncle Madara," Fugaku said.
Itachi fidgeted with his hands. "I'm sorry," he said. "I ruined your night."
Fugaku shook his hand and put a reassuring hand on his son's shoulder. "You don't have to be sorry. I'm so grateful that you're safe, Itachi."
Madara's home was roughly two hours away. Itachi had fallen asleep by the time he and Fugaku had arrived. He shook his son awake. "Itachi, wake up," he said. Itachi opened his eyes and looked around. He unbuckled his seat belt and walked up to the door with his father. They rang the doorbell and almost immediately his uncle answered it.
"Fugaku, Itachi, come in," Madara said. He stepped aside to let them come in.
Fugaku smiled at his elder brother. "Thank you for letting Itachi stay until I get everything settled," he said.
Madara nodded and rubbed the back of his head. "Don't even worry about it. I haven't had time with my nephew in a long time," he said. "Would you like to stay the night? It's a long drive."
"I can't. I need to check on Mikoto and Sasuke. I don't know how that man got in the house," Fugaku said. He turned and hugged Itachi. "I'll send your stuff over by mail tomorrow. I love you, son."
Itachi hugged him back. "I love you, too, Dad. Tell Mom and Sasuke that I said bye, okay?" he said.
Fugaku nodded and released him. He said good-bye to Madara and left. Itachi watched him drive off before he turned to his uncle. "Thank you for letting me stay, Uncle," he said.
Madara took a good look at him. "Of course. You've grown, Itachi. I haven't seen you in almost three years," he said. "Come on, I'll take you to the guest room."
Itachi followed behind him until they reached the room. Madara opened the room and stepped inside with him. "I'm sure you're exhausted. There is a bathroom attached, and if you need anything, my room is just down the hall," he said. When he left, Itachi fell asleep almost immediately.
