Reflexes

Onyx eyes narrow slightly. Itachi turns as he hears a door open. Sasuke shoves the pair towards the shadows. Onyx eyes focus on the opening door. A platinum blonde steps through the door. "You're awake, interesting."
Sasuke narrows his eyes. "What do you want Kimimaro?" The blonde snickers a bit. "Lord Orochimaru requests your presence with him." Sasuke laughs a bit, "he can wait a bit. I'm not even dressed." Sasuke waves his hand towards the door. "And you can wait outside. This is my room."
Kimimaro steps back outside shutting the door. Sasuke looks towards the shadows a moment. "Naruto, take him out of here. Leaving here would only place him in danger. Though..." The raven teen slowly rises from the bed. Sasuke shivers as cold air hits his skin. He places an arm around Naruto briefly, "thank you. Don't get caught."
The blonde watches the other teen slip away after releasing the slight embrace. Sasuke glances across the room as a panel slides open. The teen smirks as he notices the same petite female from the other night. "Feeling any better?" Sasuke offers her a slight nod. He points towards Naruto and Itachi. The girl grins slightly, "sure. Anything you need." The girl pulls the pair towards the panel and pulls it into place as Kimimaro pushes the door open again.
"You dressed yet?" Sasuke stands half-dressed. "Impatient much?" The teen pulls a pair of shirts on and shoves his feet into a pair of boots. Kimimaro stands silently as Sasuke ties the laces of the boots. The pair leave the room.

Naruto looks towards the female in ragged clothing. The girl smirks slightly. "I can get you back up where you were. Don't worry. I'll follow whatever request he gives me. He's been feeding me." Itachi looks at the girl only to receive a tilt of her head in reply. "You must be his brother. He calls for you in his sleep sometimes."
The girl grins slightly, "and you, young master, your father would have a tantrum if he knew you were down here alone." Naruto laughs, "you're not going to tell him. Neither is Deidara." The female nods lightly as she begins to take them back to higher levels of the building.
Naruto grins a bit. "He was happy to see you. But he's also worried about what they would do to you." Itachi sighs a bit. "This wouldn't have happened in the first place if I could've protected him." Naruto shakes his head, "it would've happened. Your uncle arranged this. Understand that first." Itachi looks at the blonde. "How do you know?"
Naruto tilts his head, "because Kakuzu adopted me. He has a hand in this business and your uncle's business. So I know a lot of things." Itachi frowns as the female opens a panel. The pair slip through. Naruto glances around the room. "We're in a library." Itachi makes a face. "Tell me how that helps us." Naruto grins. "You'll see."
As if on cue a group of people step into the room. Naruto and Itachi stand silently between the shelves of books. The blonde acts if he's been showing the older teen how to find books along the shelves. Someone gives a sigh of relief. A honey blonde steps into view. "Naruto, you shouldn't disappear so quick, yeah." The younger blonde grins slightly, "sorry Deidara. I won't tell my father I wandered away if you won't." Deidara looks at Naruto, "I'm not looking for a punishment, yeah."
Naruto points towards the blonde, "he's Deidara. My father assigned him to watching over me." Itachi nods. The long haired blonde makes a slight face and crosses his arms. Naruto laughs as Itachi narrows his eyes a bit, "did you first live here?"
Deidara looks at Itachi, "you talking to me, yeah." Itachi nods, "I am speaking to you." The blonde narrows a pair of crystal eyes towards Itachi, "I started out here. Then got picked by Kakuzu. Better than remaining here, yeah."
Naruto watches as several other people step into the door. "YOU TELL ME MY SON IS MISSING AND I FIND HIM SAFE AND SOUND IN THE COMPANY OF HIS PROTECTOR, WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING AT OROCHIMARU!" Naruto looks towards Deidara only to receive a casual shrug from the blonde. Itachi stands with Naruto. The older raven wasn't about to share the adventure they'd had without the guard.
Deidara steps across the floor lightly continuing to flank Naruto and the younger blonde moves through the library. Itachi tilts his head as the male that was yelling steps forward. "Itachi, you probably don't find much of this place interesting. Your uncle swears you've read every book back home though." The raven teen shrugs slightly, "he was just showing me. There's no harm in that, is there?" The older male ruffles Naruto's hair. "I guess there isn't."
A/N: Sorry about the wait. I've been a bit busy with other things. Also no one's given me a name for the girl yet so I'm still waiting. Sowhat'd you think?
