Itachi was happy that the next few days rolled over without anything too horrible happening too him. He'd kept away from Karin for the most part and did the boring housework without much complaint. He wondered how long he'd be cooking, Itachi wasn't very good at it and he only knew how to cook two things correctly; most pastas and rice. Anything else had a tendency to taste wrong and it might be poisoned, for all Sasuke knew.
This afternoon seemed to prove a bit more interesting though. The elder Uchiha had been released from doing much today since there was little left the clean and it wasn't time for cooking. Itachi was contently sitting on the floor next to the couch (God forbid Sasuke let him sit on the couch...), a book in hand. It was a large leather bound book that had a few fantasy stories inside; Itachi was always captivated by stories that were too far away from the real world.
He was brought from the pages by a hand tapping his shoulder, pushing his bangs aside; Itachi looked up to meet Suigetsu's form, "C'mon scrawny guy! You need a good spar out in the fields." the white haired teen said with a grin.
Itachi stared vacantly at him for a moment; he was running the pros and cons of actually agreeing through his mind. "No." short and simple, but Suigetsu wasn't gonna take a 'no' from any friggin' Uchiha in this mansion, so, the white haired teen hauled the elder male away like a sack of potatoes.
Itachi, now on Suigetsu's shoulder, found this not only humiliating but just plain rude. He was enjoying his book and now he was watching the book get farther away from him on the floor next to the couch 'These people... are pushy...' he thought irritably.
It took near ten minutes to get outside and to where Suigetsu wanted to place the skinny Uchiha on the ground. Itachi huffed and brushed himself off, Suigetsu was strong, Itachi could still feel the teen's arm clamped around his middle.
"Why must I be doing this?" the weasel sighed, he really would rather be in the house. "Because you look like a toothpick! You looked better when we first saw you weeks ago. Damn, I have to wonder if muscle melts off the bone for you Uchiha guys, never seen someone lose so much, in like, a month or somethin'." the white haired freak babbled.
Itachi half glared at the other, he wasn't fond of babbling retards, "Would you just get to the point." the irritated weasel hissed at him. Suigetsu quickly shut his mouth after the not so nice words that came icily from Itachi. "I'm itching to fight something, you need a good work out, so we're gonna spar." Suigetsu stated.
Itachi sighed, looking away in disinterest; he'd really not wish to spar with this fighting machine. He knew he was weaker from lack of true exercise, but having his chakra bound made him feel utterly useless and he did not wish to find out how much he'd been affected. "Catch." The voice next to him called and he quickly looked back to catch a dark clothing piece.
He looked down at the item and quickly rolled it over until he figured it was a pair of pants, "I am not fighting a guy with that," Suigetsu said, pointing a figure and the red, black, and pink kimono, "On. So change into those and ditch the girlie shit." he ordered. Itachi said nothing as he slipped into the article of clothing and removed the tight kimono, he felt so much better in these pants then that horrid kimono.
"Much better, now you don't look like that ugly bitch at all!" Suigetsu chirped, ragging on Karin even when she wasn't nearby. Itachi ignored the comment and gazed over at their 'battlefield' "What are we using to fight with?" his quiet voice inquired, Itachi dearly hoped it wouldn't be hand-to-hand combat. He had little to no experience in fighting that way. "Swords, of course!" The teen said, pulling his weapon off his back and planting it in the ground.
Itachi's blank obsidian ran the length of Zabuza's blade before meeting Suigetsu's excited gaze, "I do not have a sword." The Uchiha stated, why would Sasuke permit him to have one? Suigetsu shrugged, "I've got lots of swords, you'll just use one of them." he said as he removed a scroll from a pouch on his back. Itachi watched quietly as the white haired teen placed his hand on one of the rolled out seals and a sword came flying out of it like someone had thrown it from a cloud of smoke.
The Uchiha was quick to catch the curved blade before he suddenly became beheaded. Holding the sword up to the light, Itachi liked the scarlet blade hazed in black. "You doknow how to use a sword, right?" Suigetsu prodded, he wanted to make sure this fight wouldn't be a super easy win. Itachi looked over at him, "I've never fought with this style of sword but I do know how to handle one."
Suigetsu smirked before commanding the other to get ready and then they began the little fight. Itachi showed that he was in better shape then the fish-boy thought, dodging the huge blade like it was two inches long and then striking at the best moments in Suigetsu's lack of defense. The two danced for only a few minutes before the elder Uchiha proved himself the better of the two in swordsman ship.
Suigetsu was unable to block the scarlet serpent blade as it swam through the air towards the teen's neck, Itachi having misplaced that this was only a friendlyspar and not a duel to the death. Of course, the elder Uchiha was never allowed to finish his dark deed before searing pain shocked his body and his grip on the weapon was lost. The sword Itachi had held clattered to the ground loudly as Itachi backed away from the confused teen in a stagger, hand clasped tightly to his neck.
"Trying to murder one of my subordinates, bastard?" a familiar voice hissed from the trees. Sasuke had been watching them. Pain continued to pulse in Itachi's veins as Sasuke made the seal work its magic on his brother. Suigetsu recovered quickly and glared towards the trees where he could see a shadowed Sasuke and his piercing red orbs, why'd he have to stop their fight? Stupid Uchiha.
As Sasuke made his appearance into the sunlight, Itachi let his hand fall from the seal and basked in the absence of pain. "What did you think you were doing?" Sasuke snapped as he came up on his brother. Itachi remained silent, it was obvious he was attempting to slit the boy's throat, "Get back in the house, and stay there." Sasuke ordered sharply, Itachi simply walked off without a word.
Sasuke watched his brother's pale back until the trees swallowed it up, "Drag Juugo out next time you want a fight." Sasuke said to the other before going over to the pile of cloth on the ground and snatching it up. Suigetsu shot a few choice words after Sasuke but he didn't show any notice of the worthless words getting to him.
The only thought on Sasuke's mind was of Itachi's punishment for attempting to kill Suigetsu. The emotionless mask fell as Sasuke came to smirk. He had a sick, twisted idea. He had the perfect plan. And Itachi was sure to hate every second of it...
I feel like I'm rushing this story right along with all the random things that keep happening. But this fic's like my outlet for fun! That being; next chapter = rape! ^^
