Itachi's Mission

Chapter 9

Sasuke had to rest his aching and bloody body, he sat in the common area across from Kisame. He averted his eyes down to the floor, he felt too ashamed to even look the shark man in the eye.

"So how was training?"

"I don't want to talk about it" Sasuke said still staring at the ground. Kisame eyed the scrappy looking boy up and down knowing well that his body wasn't the only thing hurting right now.

"Why is he always so perfect? It's not fair."

"Well he is a lot older than you , you gotta put that into account." Sasuke just shook his head.

"I try so hard to be as good as him and to have him be proud of me, but it's no use, I'm just a failure to him" he sniffled. He knew he was acting like a baby, but he just felt like he was bringing his brother down. He might as well leave on his own before Itachi kicked him out.

Kisame didn't know how to bring the boy's spirits up, maybe if he changed the subject to something a little lighter. After a few minutes of silence between the two Kisame spoke up.

"So, Sasuke do you have a girlfriend?" Sasuke looked up, momentarily confused by the random question.

"No"

"Boyfriend?" Sasuke paused before answering.

"No, but… I want one" he replied bravely.

"Hmm, well what type of guy do you like?" Sasuke thought for a moment, pleased with himself that he wasn't too embarrassed to be talking about this.

"I'd like a guy who is strong, trustworthy, and brave, someone who would love me for who I am; and I'm physically attracted to guys with dark hair and someone with a toned body."

Kisame smirked inside "you just described Itachi perfectly."

Sasuke blushed "what's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing, I just thought I'd point it out."

Sasuke wasn't sure if he should ask such a question, but he did anyway

"What type of girls does Itachi like?"

Kisame smirked "Why so interested in Itachi's love life?"

Itachi has a love life? Sasuke wondered to himself feeling a bit down for some odd reason.

"I was just asking, we are brothers after all."

"Fair enough, lets see, actually, I don't remember him saying that he liked or likes anyone in that way."

Sasuke didn't say anything except revert his eyes back to the ground, obviously not liking Kisame's answer.

"Does that upset you?" the shark asked, and Sasuke just shook his head.

Liar Kisame thought, but he had no time to continue with the conversation because Itachi had walked in. Sasuke took one look at him and quickly walked out the door.

"What was that all about?"

Kisame just shrugged his shoulders not wanting to betray the boy's trust.

Sasuke wandered around the hideout looking for a place or a room where he could be alone with his most depressing thoughts. Looking forlorn he found an empty hallway and slowly slid himself down onto the dusty floor. Hugging his knees tightly to his chest he remembered Kisame's heartbreaking words that Itachi never liked anyone in a boyfriend or girlfriend kind of way. But what really confused him was the fact that he cared so much. Did he feel sorry for Itachi? That he never experienced that kind of love? No that wasn't it. The more he thought about it the more he began to get sick and ashamed of himself. Was he that screwed up and that perverted, why was he thinking these disgusting thoughts? Tears came flowing down his eyes, he was a perverted, sicko who had disturbing thoughts of incest. The worst part was that he wanted Itachi to have the same thoughts about him.

He didn't want to be thinking these sinful thoughts, but no matter how much he tried to forget about them, or tried to occupy himself with other things his mind came back to Itachi. How he always carried himself in such a mature and dignified manner, how his soft black hair cascaded over his feminine eyes, and the way he fought enemies with such grace and agility. The way he always felt a tingle of delight whenever his skin made contact with Itachi's, whether it was from a brush of a shoulder, or Itachi's finger tips brushing Sasuke's hair off his face. Why did he have to fall in love with his own flesh and blood, what would the other members of the Akatsuki do to him if they ever found out, or worse, what would Itachi do? Just thinking about what Itachi would do to him if he ever found out about his true feelings was daunting. He wouldn't know what to do with himself if he didn't have Itachi with him in his life.

"Sasuke… you're crying."

Sasuke looked up and turned his head toward the voice, Itachi was standing near the entrance of the hallway looking at him with a hint of sadness. He slowly walked toward the curled up Uchiha and knelt down in front of him.

"What's wrong Sasuke?"

"I- I lo-… it's nothing, just leave me alone, you wouldn't understand."

"Try me."

But Sasuke couldn't take it anymore, how could Itachi understand the way he felt, brothers were not suppose to love each other the way he did. Just seeing his beautiful features staring back at him was too much, how could someone so breathtakingly attractive love a scrawny kid like him anyway. He stood up and ran down the hallway leaving Itachi utterly confused trying to figure out what exactly Sasuke was trying to tell him.

Kabuto chuckled to himself, he saw everything, from Sasuke and Kisame's conversation to Sasuke crying on the floor. He never knew the Uchiha was into incest he smirked. This was the perfect time to kidnap him and bring him to Lord Orochimaru, the kid was vulnerable so he wouldn't put up much of a fight, and he was alone. Kabuto followed Sasuke towards an empty and dark room, the only light that was allowed in was from a small window at the far corner of the closed off space.

The silent man quickly brought both arms around the child and before he could let out a cry for help both figures were gone.
