Entrapped

By: Itachi Silverwolf

I heard laughter coming from somewhere on the street. There was a small alcove between what was once the large mansion's carriage house and the mansion. I didn't not expect to see the same raven teen that had showed me a rifle a few nights ago. I'd never noticed that the building took up the whole street even though I'd only seen a piece of it. The carriage house had been added to in order to create the place I knew well. And what was the same raven male doing behind the fence. Glancing a bit more I see Itachi slipping into the building wearing the jacket I'd bought. Obviously I knew he had the right to still be mad at me. "Sasuke, inside now!" I watch onyx eyes narrow at me. The flecking was less, but it was there. This is my only sighting of the pair for the morning. With the agency still closed there'd be no calling on Itachi for now.

But seeing the pair enter the mansion told me that people lived there. Something I didn't know before. I'm very surprised to see the same woman that arranged the many rendezvous between myself and Itachi. "I owe you a refund for the other night." I tell her the money isn't important. I ask her about the jacket I saw Itachi in. "Did you want it returned?". I shake my head. I bring up the blanket and she mutters about it being on Itachi's bed.

My next question is asking how Itachi is. "He's well." I soon ask her about the younger brother. She laughs some. "He's not legal yet. He's around because his brother is his guardian. He was supposed to stay out of it." Now I have so many questions. "Well you should be on your way. After all the building isn't open yet."

I glance up before leaving to see Itachi standing in one of the turret style windows with the blanket around him. Beside him is the younger brother. Now I understood a bit of the younger sibling's behavior. Leaving wasn't something I wanted to do without speaking to Itachi, but for now I'd have to wait.

I spend the morning sitting boredly at my desk. Until someone steps into my office dropping a stack of articles in my face. I first protest of old newspapers meaning nothing to me until I see a picture of Itachi staring back at me on a front page. There's a bit of laughter as I glance up. "You should know just who you're trying to take to bed with you. Don't you think?" I complain that I haven't brought Itachi into my bed only to hear laughter and the door close.

Looking at the articles sends shivers through me. The escort I'd been paying for by the hour had once been worth three times what I was worth now. With the loss of the pair's parents the family fortune had been squandered by a foster family. At seventeen Itachi had gotten not only declared an adult but took custody of the younger sibling when the foster home was brought up on charges. None of which I could find listed. They are a riches to rags story. How had I missed that?

My memory went back to the look in Itachi's eyes when I tried to get him to take the offer of leaving the business he was in. I thought what I had seen there was anger before. No, it had mixed with anger when I tried to force Itachi to give me attention. Just what all lie in the past for the pair? The articles piled on the desk only left me more questions, and how had someone found them? They were the distant past for Itachi. And here I had thought it was only a joke when I read the word Uchiha printed on an ID bracelet around the younger brother's wrist.

"You are still going out with all of us tonight. Remember no dates just fun." I sigh even though I know it'd be better not to call the agency for Itachi tonight. "You are going, right?" I hear laughter. I only give them a nod. "Remember you can't bring him." I don't care to tell them that my nights with Itachi by my side may be over completely. The work day goes slow with my mind swimming with questions that have nothing to do with the company I ran.

It had taken us far to long just to get into this club tonight. What I hadn't expected was to see exactly what I'd spentmy day fantazing about standing on the floor with all eyes on him. Was this pleasure or business? I grow a bit jealous as Itachi's hand wraps around a blonde's wrist. The raven male pulls the blonde through the crowd. The pair weave through the crowd with ease. My brain had been on Itachi for far to long if I was seeing him here. I watch the pair disappear towards the club's balcony. At this point I decide to break away from the group I'd come with. Reaching the stairs I'm stopped by bouncers. "Sorry, the balcony's been rented for the night by some escort agency tonight." I try to protest I just wish to speak with one of them. "The rule was not to disturb them."

I try to see if there's some kind of deal I can make to get to speak to Itachi. "Look, the chick in charge own the place where they work and this club. I'm not giving up my job because of some lovestuck richie."

I'm ready to express my opinion of those words when I see Itachi on the stairs again. The bounces look from him to me. "I'll give him five minutes." The bouncer nods and steps aside allowing Itachi down the stairs.

"What do you want Pein?" I start to give an apology. "Don't. Just answer the question." I begin to fumble with words. "You're running out of time." Still fumbling with words I watch Itachi turn away. "Time's up." As the raven male starts his way back up the stairs I give a confession. I meant every part of what I said about taking care of him. After all I'd fallen for him.

Itachi turns looking at me. The bouncer moves to keep me from going up the stairs, but he doesn't stop Itachi from stepping down them. I don't smell liquor on his breath as he moves closer to me. "Look, I'm not pissed at you. You don't have to talk a fantasy to have another night." I tell him it's not fantasy. I mean it. Itachi half smirks briefly. "Go back to your friends. Enjoy yourself. Whatever you've learned about me... let it go. The legacy you think you know is only in name now."

Itachi's lips brush mine. "Go back to your party." I tell him I don't wish to. He shakes his head some. "Well, you're not going upstairs with me. I'm not giving you the chance to pick up where you left off with my brother. Good night Pein." I'm a bit disappointed until I fel his lips against mine. "Go back to your friends. Call Konan when you leave the for tomorrow night. I'll answer anything then, but not tonight. Tonight is my business. Good night Pein." Before I can say another word I watch Itachi disappear back up the stairs. Tonight it looks like I will have to do as I'm told.
