Summary:
The two stopped, complete silence between the both of them. Itachi stood up and wrapped his arms around Kioko (Itachi was taller so could perfectly see over Kioko's head). Out of the bushes poked five or six black gun barrels. Itachi's expression changed to a scowl. Kioko looked on in fear as someone stepped out of the bushes. It wasn't just one person but it was two. There stepped out Kin and Sasuke
Sasuke gave the sign for the black ops to hold their fire. He walked over to Kioko and tried to rip her from Itachi's grasp. Surprisingly Itachi held tight. "Brother. She's mine." He spit, allowing his arms to flex for another pull. Itachi looked down at his brother, his once onyx eyes now a fiery red.
"Baka, don't speak of her as if she's your property." He said. The words leaked like venom from his lips. Sasuke stepped back behind Kin, who followed, he raised his hand.
"Kill them both then." He replied. Itachi let a feral smile grace his lips.
"I won't let you do that." Was all he said before letting the girl go and charging strait towards the gunman. He flung a few shuriken. They soundly took the lives of two men. The guns dropped. The remaining two spit their fire, one missed but the other implanted it's small metal ball into Itachi's left arm.
"Sasuke, leave him alone! I'll..." Kioko paused for a moment then looked down.
"I'll leave with you." She finished.
Sasuke gave a feral smile. "Not good enough." He said. Then he removed a small pistol from it's holster under his vest. He handed it to Kioko. "Kill Itachi, or I will." He whispered. Kioko began to protest. Sasuke snatched the pistol and with one click another bullet found it's way into Itachi's right arm.
"Would you like em me /em to continue?" He said pointing the pistol at one of Itachi's legs. Kioko held her tears and shook her head no. Shaking she picked up the pistol.
"I'm sorry." She whispered before pulling the trigger. The bullet cut through the air like a swarm of bees. Then it dug itself into the right side of Itachi's chest. Kioko dropped the gun and grabbed Itachi before dragging him into a dead run.
The two ran for about two miles until sliding into a cave. Itachi collapsed against the wall holding his chest. "Pathetic cowards, using guns instead of the traditional weapons." He spit digging his slender fingers into the puncture on his chest.
"DON'T!" Shouted Kioko pulling his hand away. She took his fingers and examined them. Sighing in relief at the sight of no bullet.
"Are you crazy!? You can't just remove a bullet! You need it removed by someone who knows what they're doing! You could die!" She quietly shouted. Itachi just stared, confused at why she was so worried.
"If we can find help the-." She was cut off by the Itachi's warm finger. He glared at the entrance as a few shadowed bodies moved in front of the large cave door.
"It's only a few more miles to the hideout. Come on." He said pulling on her arm.
They made their way through the places where ANBU was most likely watching, then about two or so miles out they entered another cave. This time they were greeted by a man. It was a blonde man with long hair and a blue eye. "Deidara, can you help?" Asked Itachi in a mono tone slightly brushing his chest wound.
"I'm not a doctor, but I can get you some help from our real doctor. Yeah?" He said examining the wound.
"Baka, that's what I meant." Replied Itachi with a frown. Deidara led Itachi away. Kioko followed a few steps behind them. Finally they had made it into a different looking room, it resembled that of a home.
"Girl, stay here. Yeah?" Said Deidara before disappearing with Itachi. Kioko watched th two vanish into the darkness.
Kioko does a little to much wandering and finds out a bit on Itachi. In fact a little to much. Tsk, Tsk. Kioko, you shouldn't go into other peoples rooms...Itachi might have to give you a spanking. (Dude if that isn't a lemon hint I don't know what is)
