Through this sharingan, into the flames

chapter 4

warning Yaoi! which is male x male love

Pairing Itachi x Naruto

And the luck keeps coming, I know some readers are impatient with my updates, but life I guess loves giving me obstacles in my path. I have been in and out of hospital non stop for an illness of mine and its getting far worse, so the fics I am writing are the last thing on my mind, as I have other things to take care off. Trying to balance out my living, health and university is a lot for me and I don't have the time. If you were a reader of mine since my beyblade fics you will know that I used to update extremely fast but as you can see life is slowing me down. But on with the fic, I am sorry it didn't come up faster.

Darkness…

'where the heck am I?...'

The world was now emitting some colors of grey, they swirled as they tried to blend in with the shadings of the room that the blondes vision was trying to create. The lack of light in the room didn't help either.

Despite his partially open eyes, Naruto's vision focused before slipping back into a whirlpool of greys, whites and blacks. Emitting a soft groan, his head felt heavy as it fell forwards, but a hand to his chest kept his body from slumping away from the wall he was leaning against. There was no doubt from his blurred vision and loss of self control that the fox knew he was drugged. Every so often he caught a glimpse of a figure standing before him, and sometimes two. One of the figure's was very close considering the immense blurring of a near object which his eyes had trouble refracting. This must be the one who was stopping him from falling on his face right now.

A familiar, dark, and monotonous voice was heard,

"Looks like Kyubi is fighting our drug off this boy's body"

Then a chuckle, as a deeper voice was heard,

"Yeah he shouldn't be able to move, That fox is impressive neh Itachi?"

He remembered now, he remembered standing in the tree talking to his comrades, he remembered the two black cloaked figures… he remembered the sharingan eyes beside him, his fear of his friends getting hurt like Sasuke did once by Haku, he remembered the slight pain before his whole world went dark. His body almost twitched at the thought that he was here now, captured by the Akatsuki, but what did they want with him? Fear and panic filled him.

The deeper voice spoke again; the one not belonged to Itachi

"Now shall we tell the boss about getting this god damn fox, it was easy getting through the gates, but that Kakashi one was a bother…or"

…a rubbing motion was heard emitting a scaly sound

"…that annoying man that kicked me"

'Kakashi-sensei …he fought him?'

Naruto forced his eyes to open; forcing his head up despite the heaviness that was like someone pushing it to stay down from behind. A few more colors now, a slight red almost in the form of randomly placed spots began to take the form of clouds on the figures, and a slight color of blue forming on the face of the figure standing farthest away.

The eldest Uchiha looked down on their captive, not once removing his gaze as the young boy looked up. He was soon met by bright blue eyes which were slowly turning red, the whisker like markings on the cheeks going darker, and small fangs poking over the lower lip, he could sense the fox's distress within the boy, that its shell had lost control and it was fighting fiercely against the strong drug which they had injected earlier. Despite the frightening aura that was emitting from the fox, Itachi remained as calm and collected as ever.

"No" he finally replied to Kisame's question, "I want to test this fox's strength for myself first before we hand him over, once I get what I want, I don't care what the boss does with him". Kisame raised an eyebrow, Itachi's interest sparking a curiosity within him. Itachi never took an interest in anything this much, a mission was a mission that needed to be done, he never probed further into it. Itachi never took an interest in an individual they had caught.

Kisame nodded. Itachi stood up, the blonde's head had fallen down again, but a soft red glow that covered his body was quickly trying to get rid of the drug that flowed in his blood.

Kisame smirked, and almost jokingly said to his partner, "Ya know, if Deidara found out…" he licked his lips and chuckled almost manically, "Then…that fox won't last too-"

But his sentence and amusing thoughts were cut off by Itachi…

"Yes but he will not find out, unless someone tells him" Itachi warned, murderous red eyes met Kisame's gold ones and Kisame couldn't help feel intimidated by the Uchiha.

A soft growl was heard as both the Akatsuki turned to see the young boy whom was sitting down on the stone ground of the cave they had taken rest in. The boy had moved away from the wall by now and a twitch of his slightly clawed hands showed them that the drug was wearing off rather fast now.

Itachi kept his calm expression, but reached down placing his hand on the shockingly soft spiked hair of the blond and gripped it hard. He forced the boy's head up and back against the stone as a crack was heard and also a soft gasp of pain. He kneeled down before the blonde and kept his gaze on the closed eyes and waited…

After the painful collision that the boy received. Bright blue eyes opened and widened in fear of who was now close to him. The blue oceanic eye's calming aura contrasted with the fiery red of the Uchihas. To Naruto, for a split moment he swore he was looking up at Sasuke, but the lines under the eyes created from the lack of sleep belonged to someone much older and gave a much more nightmarish look to the killer. Itachi didn't need the markings of the cursed seal over his body like Sasuke did to look threatening.

Naruto didn't speak; instead he just stared into those red eyes which he should have been avoiding. His body motionless not from the drug in his blood but in fear, every so often he couldn't control the tremble that wrecked his body from its still state. He felt his eyes, and almost his soul, getting searched with one look from this terrifying man.

Naruto sat still, just waiting, waiting on pain, waiting to be sent into a world of pain like his Kakashi told him about. He swore he felt sweat trickling down the side of his head and down his cheek, but the blur of red in the corner of his vision, and his strong sense of smell of the fox told him it was blood from where his head collided ever so roughly with the wall.

What shocked Naruto the most, was that the form of pain he was expecting did not come, but rather a warm, soft and wet sensation traveled up his cheek to his hairline as Itachi licked away his blood.

A startled gasp emitted from Naruto, as he tried to move back and away from Itachi, but Itachi's painful grip on his hair made it impossible. Naruto could only watch in complete shock as the older Uchiha moved back, some blood on his lips, those red eyes meeting Naruto's blue one's once again. Naruto swore he saw a satisfied smirk on Itachi's face as he licked the blood off his own lips.

"You…look so great Itachi, when you got blood on ya"

…leave it to a certain fish's mind to spoil the moment.

Itachi eye's narrowed over his sick comrade's mind, as he stood up, turning to glare at Kisame. Naruto saw Kisame flinch under the look.

"…Get some water, and firewood for tonight"

"Y-Yes ..Itachi", Itachi's demanding words and that gaze would bring even the most bravest man to fear.

Kisame turned to leave until Itachi spoke again

"And another thing…"

Kisame blinked his golden eyes, looking back at Itachi in question.

"…Don't come back for at least two hours"

That last sentence brought that same fear back to Naruto

...Being stuck with a murderous, stronger, frightening older brother of Sasuke, did I mention killer for two hours on your own couldn't be that bad…right?

Yay another chapter, I promise ill try and update sooner, thanks to all who read.
