Tobi curiously made his way over to Hidan. He had wandered off, almost as if in a trance of some sorts. Of course, Tobi being the curious cat he is followed Hidan. He had lost sight of his friend when he entered the dance floor. After searching for a few minutes, he caught sight Hidan. Hidan was the only one, besides himself, who wasn't dancing. He was just standing there, so Tobi decided to see what ×was so interesting that it kept Hidan from dancing. Tobi took notice of how worried Hidan got when he spotted him approaching. It almost seemed as if Hidan didn't want him to see what was going on behind him. Tobi managed to maneuver his way out of Hidan's grasp, but in the process, he bumped into a kissing couple. He saw the terrified look on Hidan's face, so he turned to apologize to the couple. Once face-to-face with them, he saw it was Zetsu with whom he had bumped into. Tobi took in the features of the male standing next to Zetsu. This man was clearly a prostitute, by the looks of his clothes, and Tobi didn't like the way he was holding onto Zetsu. One final look at the thin arms draped around his lover's neck, caused his head to drop. He slowly looked back up with a sad smile plastered on his face, "Hope Zetsu-sama will be happy now," he quickly turned away and ran back towards the exit. He only made it twenty feet outside the cub, before he let his tears of anguish free. His whole body shook violently with each sob that escaped. He looked up to the darkened sky and gave a great scream, hoping it would do him some good. He continued to scream, even after he felt someone embrace him from behind. The person didn't say anything, only tightened their grip with each heart wrenching scream Tobi gave. Tobi turned to face the embracer and wrapped his arms around their mid-section. He hid his face in the other's neck and felt wetness when the other buried his face in his hair. They held onto each other for dear life, afraid that if they let go they would be sucked into a world full of darkness. He didn't know how long they were like that, but once Tobi calmed down, he looked up to see who was hugging him. "What's wrong Itachi?" he asked seeing the tear-stained cheeks. He only smiled sadly at Tobi as a response and then slowly made his way towards the vehicle. "Same as Tobi, huh," Tobi whispered to himself before following Itachi.

Inside the club, Zetsu was dumbstruck with what just happened. He turned his head to the right, only to see Hidan glaring daggers at him and shaking his head. At that moment he felt something break inside of him. He wanted to go look for Tobi, but something was holding him back. He looked down and saw that the man he had been dancing with was hugging his arm in an iron-like grip. "Let go of me," Zetsu growled at the man.

"No!" the stubborn man tightened his grip further.

"Either you let go or I break your arms!" Zetsu said through gritted teeth. The man yelped and immediately let go. Zetsu pushed past the dancers, in search of his lover.

Kisame remained standing in the same spot for at least five minutes. Face void of any emotion, he turned towards the bar and asked for a bottle of Vodka. He sat on a stool and began to drink straight from the bottle, ignoring the stinging pain in his throat. Kakuzu waited for him to finish his drink, before lifting Kisame over his shoulder and carried him out of the club. He was making his way towards the car he came in when someone called his name.

"Kakuzu!" someone from behind called out. "Have you seen Tobi?" Zetsu asked frantically.

"No, sorry man. They probably left by now," Kakuzu slowly walked towards where they parked. He was expecting to see the spot empty, but was surprised that the van was still there.

"Shit! They took our car!" Zetsu exclaimed.

"How the hell do you know?"

"The keys aren't in his pocket and our car isn't where we left it," the green-haired man ran a hand over his face.

"Wha- How did- Gotta be more careful around Itachi," Kakuzu whispered to himself.

Tobi was sitting in the back while Itachi drove slightly above the speed limit. That didn't stop Itachi from checking to see if his cousin was all right through the rear-view mirror. He sighed quietly to himself. 'How did all this happen? It was just like any other day.' He heard scene. Tobi was sitting with his knees brought up to his chest. Silent sobs shook his entire frame. His hair was tousled from having a hand run through it so many times. However, the worst was hearing him repeat, "Zetsu-sama, why? Tobi's sorry. Tobi didn't mean it," over and over again. With that scene in mind, Itachi turned the car around and began to drive to a different destination. He had nowhere else to go, but with him.

Kisame and Zetsu were sitting in the back, both looking out a window. Nobody dared bring up Itachi or Tobi's name. After a long quiet ride, they arrived home, everyone expected to see Itachi and Tobi there. Kisame and Zetsu ran to their rooms, hoping to see their partner there. To their disappointment they were nowhere in sight. They decided to punish themselves for what they did by locking themselves in their rooms.

"Itachi?" a voice slowly whispered, "Where are we going?"

"Shh, it's okay Tobi, just go back to sleep, we'll be there soon." Itachi reached behind and gently patted Tobi's knee. He straightened himself and was now more determined that he was going to get his cousin to smile again. He would make Kisame and Zetsu suffer for what they did to them. All he needed was help from two other people, he knew one would be more than willing to help, while the other would take some convincing… and bribing.

"Serves them right," a blond said. "They deserve to be punished for what they did."

"Yeah, but if you think about it, Kisame should be punished, not Zetsu. Zetsu didn't do anything wrong, Tobi was the one who hurt him," Kakuzu explained from the doorway leading into the kitchen.

"That may be true Kakuzu, but Zetsu was practically having sex with someone else, while still in a relationship with Tobi. I saw him dancing with some prostitute," Hidan informed from behind his lover.

"Is that why Tobi ran out of the club?" Konan asked from the couch. "I thought he forgot something or was making a run for it, but then I saw Itachi run out too. I figured he went to go get him."

"You didn't see what happened between Kisame and Itachi?" Kakuzu asked confused.

"She was in the restroom fixing her makeup," Pein rolled his eyes.

"Anyways~, what happened between them?" Konan asked, ignoring Pein's comment.

"Kisame promised Itachi he wouldn't go to strip clubs, dance clubs, or any inappropriate place anymore," Kakuzu explained, now eating a sandwich. "Damn it! Hidan, you forgot the tomatoes… again!"

"Shut up you fucker! If you don't like how I make a goddamn sandwich, then make it yourself, douche bag!" Hidan yelled from the kitchen.

"As I was saying, he was only allowed to go to these places if he was accompanied by Itachi or if he was given permission." He took another bit out of his tomato-less sandwich.

"Hey, where's Sasori?" the forgotten blond asked.

"Are we there yet?" Zetsu whimpered out.

Itachi gasped at the sudden voice, "How long have you been awake?"

"Tobi's hungry~," Tobi whispered.

"What would you like to eat then?" Itachi asked kindly. He flashed the childish man a small smile through the rearview mirror.

Tobi turned his head and looked out the window. Looking at all the fast-food places they drove past, "McDonald's," he finally replied.

Itachi turned on his blinker to signal he was turning right. He drove a little down the road and then turned right again. He went through the drive thru and ordered his cousin the twenty piece McNuggets with a milkshake, and he got himself a happy meal. He wasn't a big fan of fast-food, but he, too, was hungry. He went up to the first window and paid for their food. He had to wait for the two cars in front of him to get his order. He then handed the bag to Tobi and drove to a nearby park.

"Itachi?" Tobi asked, once he got out of the car.

"Hn?" Itachi grunted.

"Where are we going?" Tobi timidly asked.

"We're going to go see an old friend," Itachi smiled gently at his cousin. "Eat," he nodded his towards the untouched food.

"Will Tobi be able to see Zetsu-sama again?" his voice cracked at his lover's name.

"Do you want to see him again?" Itachi gently placed his arm around the broken hearted man. He felt the younger man nod his head. "We'll see them again then, but right now we're going to stay at an old friend's house, okay?"
