Ryter: The usual for ya'll. Another week, another chapter.

Kisame held the sleeping Uchiha to his chest, cradling him in his arms tightly. They were almost six miles from the farm house, in a small cave. He'd wanted to get further away, but that would've meant neglecting Itachi's injuries. He had spent the entire night wrapping his wounds and bruises the best he could. He hadn't even left him to wash off Fugaku's blood. He leaned into the younger boys black hair closing his eyes and taking in the scent that was all Itachi. "I'm sorry. I never should've allowed this. I should've taken you away sooner my princess"
The blue boy kissed Itachi's forehead, but winced when he felt the heat practically radiating off of the boy. He had a high fever, and would need to be seriously treated soon. Kisame laid Itachi down on the stone floor of the cave. The dark haired boy groaned and reached up for him. The elder kissed his love tenderly and brushed away the hair that had fallen into his face before pulling his arms away. He quickly kissed the Uchiha's fingers to comfort him back into complete unconciousness.

"I'll be back Princess. I promise. I won't leave you. Not again"

With one last look over his shoulder, Kisame left the cave and headed out into the open. He had thought he'd seen a stream not far from where they were that would be perfect for helping bring down Itachi's fever. Unfortunately, Kisame didn't get too far. There was a low whistling that broke through the air. Kisame Instantly recognized the sound and tried to duck. Four arrows flew at him. Three missed their marks. He was lucky, but not that lucky.

"Damn It"

He cringed as the fourth arrow dug into his shoulder. He pulled his sword from his shoulder and smirked in the direction that the attack had come from.

"And here I thought this was going to be easy. You guys coming out anytime soon or what"

A tall woman riding side saddle on a white pony came out of the hidden part of the path. She was followed by a shirtless boy with a choke collar and glasses. The ugly lady put out a hand to the slave boy, and was quickly helped down. As soon as she was on her feet she flattened out the lng black riding gown.

"Hello, Kissssame-kun, we were sent to find our lady Itachi-chan. You wouldn't know where he isss would you"

Kisame couldn't help but smile at the male voice accompanied by the girly features. He chuckled lightly before whistling.

"Heh...You know, you're one ugly duckling. What are you anyway? The dress says a flat chested chick, but the face says a man who's daddy didn't love him"

There was a sharp pain in Kisame's side from seemingly nowhere. When the white sparks from the pain had vanished from behind his eyes lids he looked up to see the kid with glasses standing over him with a bloody dagger. The tall cross dresser made his way over to Kisame and lifted up the blue haired boy's head so that he was staring eye to eye with him. "Now now Kabuto-kun, we need him in one piece for now. Pleasse refrain from hurting poor Kisssame-kun"
Kisame glared at the freak, holding his bleeding side as the little slave boy Kabuto held him by his hair. "I suppossse it'sss my fault. I ssshould introduce mysself. I'm Orochimaru, Prince Hyuuga Neji'sss right hand man, sssso to ssspeak. And prince Neji wantsss hisss bride"
The wounded boy growled low in his throat and spat at Orochimaru.

"Go to hell"

"I would, but you sssee, I'm guesssing your little lover is hurt, and in need of assistance. Kabuto isss not only a lovely little toy, but an excellent doctor. He could

care for him, and the prince could give him the home he ssso deservesss. Of courssse you will have to be punished for the murder of the previous Lord Uchiha"
His head was bowed as he listened intently to the offer that Orochimaru was giving him. Normally he would've told the pale transvestite to go fuck himself, or maybe a toaster, but a random image of Itachi in pain and with a high fever was enough to make him forget all resistance.

"What's the punishment?"

Oro smiled and held his face between both hands and ran a long tounge up the younger captured boys face.

"Of course you'll be sent off with the royal navy for eight years to catch and battle the Dread Pirates Roberts"

Kisame nodded. It was pretty much as he figured. He smiled up at Oro with a cocky arrogance that, with the exception of possibly Itachi, no one could see through.

"A suicide mission. Well, no one lives forever right"

Haku hugged his pillow tightly to his chest and started to tear up.

"Wha...What? Tha..that's not possible! He's just playing right Zabu-sama. He'd never just leave right! There's more right?!"

Zabuza sighed and rubbed at his back as he stretched and yawned.

"Maybe. I haven't read this girly crap before. He might just ditch the dude."

The sick nin started to get big eyed as he heard this from his lover. Zabuza froze solid and held up his arms for what he knew was coming.

"N..Now Haku...The st..stories not over yet...So...so don't..."

A shuriken was thrown past his head followed by a pillow. Zabuza ducked barely moving before a needle went through his throat.

"ZABUZA IS SO MEEEEAAAANNN! WHY DID ZABUZA-SAMA HAVE TO KILL KISAME! YOU'RE EVIL EVIL EVIL."

Haku was in full on crying uke mood, and wouldn't stop tossing things at him. A pair of chains went flying just over the older nins head before he managed to slip out the door.

"No way I'm going back in there before he calms down."
