Hey everybody, I had the most awesome song in my head when I wrote this! It's called Sacrifice by TaTu. You should listen to it. ;]

Chapter 7

Loss

The heavy iron door slammed open and a young woman with dark blue hair and mysterious lavender eyes stepped in; she looked way too glamorous to be an Akatsuki member, but the black cloak signified that she was. She smirked and seized Gaara roughly by the arms.

"Hey! Watch out!" He growled, fighting against her incredible strength.

"Shut up kid, or I'll glue your mouth shut."

"Leave him alone, Konan!" Yelled Itachi, smashing himself into the woman. She didn't even flinch. "Was that meant to hurt?"

"Let him go!"

"Relax, I'm only tying him up. Aren't you meant to be fucking with Kisame?"

"Shut up, whore."

"Oh? I'm the whore?" She scoffed.

He growled and pulled Gaara from her grasp. "You stay away from my friend."

"What will you do about it? You couldn't hurt a fly."

"Oh yeah? Bring it."

Konan laughed delicately and smashed her fist into Itachi's back. Gaara launched himself at her. She shoved him into the door and kicked him down.

"Fucking bitch!" Cursed Itachi, helping his injured friend up. "Are you okay, Gaara?"

"Yeah."

Itachi stood defensively in front of him. "I won't let you kill him."

"Oh, give up already!" Said the woman in a bored voice.

"No. Why don't you give up?"

Konan made an attempt to grab Gaara, but Itachi caught her off-guard by punching her in the face. She stumbled backwards and in anger, plunged a kunai into his stomach. Itachi cried out and fell in agony.

"Itachi! No!" Gaara ran towards his friend and began to heal him, but his chakra was low and it was making him weaker the more he healed. "Come on, stay with me."

"Gaara, I'm f-fine."

"No you're not, I can heal you."

"Save y-your e-energy." The raven began to lose consciousness.

"Hey, don't pass out on me! You'll be fine!"

His eyes closed and his body went limp.

"Wake up! You'll be fine, I promise!" He whimpered, clinging to him
"Aren't you the cutest little thing?" Said Konan, shoving Gaara into a nearby wall.

"Aren't you the ugliest slut?" He retorted, leaning back against the cool stone

"What the fuck did you just say?!" She punched him hard in the stomach. He coughed up blood at the impact and crumpled to the floor. "Ow... you bitch..." He groaned, trying to ease the pain. For a girl, she had a hard punch.

"That's what I thought you said."

Kisame thundered in. "Konan! You're meant to heal the little brat, not injure him even more, you fucking idiot!"

"Gomen, Kisame-sama."

"What happened to Itachi?!"
"He was trying to touch me sexually." She lied.

Gaara weakly pushed himself up. "No he didn't! Don't listen to that crazy bitch!"

Kisame growled. "Shut up, you." He backhanded him to the floor.

"I hit the other kid because he asked me to kiss him."

"I didn't!"

"Shut up, useless little brat! Did I ask of your opinion?"

Gaara kept his mouth shut.

"I'll heal the Jinchuuriki right away." Said Konan

"Thanks."

"My name is Gaara! Not Jinchuuriki!" Said the boy again, once again attempting to sit up. Kisame kicked him back down causing him to yelp in pain. "I will fucking kill you in a minute!"

"So? Kill me! But where will Shukaku be then, huh?!"

Kisame slammed him against the wall. "I'll deal with you later." and with that, dropped the boy and carried a heavily bleeding Itachi out of the room.

Konan kept a tight hold on him.

"Let me go, bitch! I have to see Itachi!"

"Gaara! Keep still!"

"No!"

She sighed. "He should be fine. Kisame will look after him!"

"In what way?! Will he fucking rape him again?"

"No! Kisame is a fully-qualified medic!"

He relaxed a little, but didn't give up the fight. "Let me out!"

"After I heal you!"

"I feel fine."

"Just keep still okay?!"

"No!"

"Gaara, listen to me, I'm sorry okay? I don't like hurting people but it's my job."
"That's no excuse."

"If I don't obey, they'll kill me."

"Kill you?"

"I'm very sorry for hurting you both, but Itachi will be fine, I stabbed him away from his blood vessels and organs. He'll just need to rest for a few days, yeah?"

"Okay."

"Did I hurt you?"

"A bit, it's not serious though. I think I'll have a few bruises but I'm fine."

"I still need to check that I've not damaged anything important. Keep still." A green light appeared beneath her palm.

"I can heal myself, you know."

"What are you? You're the Kazekage, not a medic, and anyway, your chakra is low."

"I still don't forgive you for what you did to Itachi."
"I don't expect you to. I just want you to understand that I'm sorry."

"You know what?"

"What?"

"You're the only Akatsuki member who has ever been nice to me."

"Thanks. I'll check up on Itachi later and I'll heal him too."
"Arigato Konan."
"It's no trouble."

Itachi awoke in a dimly lit room, a dull ache in his side. Looking down he saw his trembling body wrapped in bloodstained bandages. As he sat up, his head spun and he cried out in agony as he felt something across his abdomen tear open. Blood seeped through the bandages and began to stain his bedsheet. He ignored the agonising sear of pain and forced himself to stand, Not even caring about how much blood he was losing. His mind went blank; it felt like he needed to do something and then realised that he still had to save Gaara from being killed. He whipped the bloodied sheets from his exhausted body and staggered around the room, trying to figure out where he was.

"Gaara?" He called weakly, staggering further into the darkness. A slight rustle made him whip around a bit too quickly, sending another spasm of pain through his body. He bit back a scream and doubled over, grimacing. After the pain subsided, he continued to limp about. "Hello? Is anybody there?"

Silence. He was so cold, his hands were like ice.

"Gaara?" Why did it feel like something was twisting his insides this way and that?

He nearly screamed when a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"It's Kisame. Are you okay?" Came a deep voice.

Itachi turned. "Where's Gaara?"

"You should be getting some rest. You're in no condition to be walking about."

"I don't fucking care! Where is Gaara?!" He snapped.

"He's resting."

"Is he okay?"

"Yeah."

"Can I see him?"

"No, your badly injured and we nearly lost you. Besides, he's asleep and I don't want you to disturb him."

"When the fuck did you start caring about him?!"

"I don't care about him, but it took ages to get him to calm down earlier."

"Konan didn't hurt him, did she?"

"Not badly, but he was healed."

"That's good."

Gaara felt a vibration in his left pocket. Reaching in, his heart lifted when his phone sat buzzing away in the palm of his hand.

"Hello?" He answered quietly, not wanting it to be taken from him.
"Gaara?! Oh, geez! Where are you?!" Came Kankuro's relieved voice.

"Kankuro! I thought you were dead!"

"I'm still alive. Only just. What happened? Are you hurt?"

"No, I'm fine. This Akatsuki douche told me that you were dead."

"I nearly died, but I'm fine now, listen, where are you?"
"Where do you think?"

"Oh. Is Itachi there?"

"Yeah, he was injured in a fight earlier, but Konan said he would be fine."
"Who's Konan?"

"She the only female member of the Akatsuki. She's really nice."
"Is she hot?"

"Kankuro! We have more serious issues to talk about here!"

"Sorry."

"Who attacked you?"

"Sasori of the Red Sands. Why?"

"I thought that was the creator of your puppets."

"It is."

"Holy shit! No wonder you lost!"

"Don't rub it in."

"Sorry. Is everybody okay?"

"We're all worried sick about you. Temari has ran off looking for you."

His heart dropped. He didn't want to tell his siblings that he was going to die by morning.

"What's wrong? You've gone quiet."

Tell him. "Kankuro, don't bother looking for me."

"Why?"

He didn't say anything.

"Gaara, you're scaring me!"

"Sorry."

"What is it?!"

"I'm dying okay?! They're gonna extract Shukaku from me tomorrow!"

"Gaara..."

He felt tears in his eyes. "I don't want to die, but I can't do anything about it."

"I'll find you! You won't die!"

"Take care of Temari for me yeah?"

"Bullshit! I won't let them kill you!"

"Kankuro, it's too late, you can't do anything! Not even Itachi can save me!"

"You won't die!" His brother was already crying. "You won't!"

"You and Temari were always there for me. I love you guys. Take care of yourselves, yeah?"

"Don't say that!"

"I'm sorry. I love you, bro." He ended the call and switched off his phone. Not that he would need it any time soon. After about a second, he broke down sobbing. Something he hadn't done in years. So what? Not like anybody could see him and even if they did, it wouldn't matter; soon everything would be over. He didn't even look up when the door opened.

"Gaara, what's wrong?" Asked Itachi, rushing over and hugging him.

"I t-told Kankuro that I'm g-going to d-die."

"You won't die!" Stated the older boy.

"You're badly hurt and you can't do anything!"

"I will die to save you!"

Gaara started crying again. He didn't want to make his friend risk his life. Itachi hugged him.

"Hey, it's okay. I'll get you out of here, come on." Said the older boy, tugging on his arm.

"Don't overdo yourself okay?"

"I'm twenty years old, Gaara. I can look after myself thanks."

"Okay, no need to be nasty."

"Sorry." He said, untying the chains from his wrists. "Wow, they cut you pretty deep."

He shrugged. "Doesn't hurt."

After a few minutes, both boys had slipped unknowingly out of the room and were quietly hurrying down the corridor.

"Oh shit!" Said Gaara suddenly.

"What?"

I left my phone in the cell!"

"Oh, you fucking idiot." Groaned Itachi, slapping his forehead.

"I have to get it!"

"No, you can't! If they catch us, we're both dead, okay?"

"I need my phone."

"Why? Don't you want anybody to find your perverted videos?!"

"Hey shut up! And no, it's not that reason. If Temari or Kankuro try and ring me, they'll think I am dead if I don't pick up."

"Hmm, good point. But you can't go back."

"Fine."

They carried on down the corridor before Gaara felt a foot connect with his shin. He tripped and fell. "Ow, bastard."

"Hey, are you okay?" Asked Itachi, helping him up.

"Somebody tripped me." He whispered, nervously glancing into the blackened room.

Deidara stepped out of the shadows. "You're not as stupid as I thought are you? Un."

"It's you!"

"Naturally. Now what are you two doing sneaking around at this hour?"

"Gaara was sleepwalking, I followed him to make sure he didn't hurt himself."

"He was chained up, idiot."

"We got lost in the dark too."

"Quit making up lame excuses and hand over the Jinchuuriki."

"Over my dead body!"

"Fine, I'll kill you both."

Gaara moved in front of Itachi. "Don't do this."

"I'm trying to protect you!"

"No. You're risking your life for me. Don't, please!"

Deidara grabbed Gaara and pressed a knife against his throat.

Itachi growled. "Deidara! You're going to kill him!"

"If you don't clear off I will."

"Go." The younger boy let himself be taken away by Deidara as Itachi stared sullenly after him, tears pouring down his face. "Gaara, Everything will be fine."

"I know."

Deidara turned and smashed Itachi to the floor.

Itachi lay sobbing on Kisame's bed, pleading with the man to let Gaara live. "Please! You have to stop this from happening! I'll give anything!"

"Not this time."

"Please!"

"Itachi, I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do!"

"Come on Itachi, you know that I can make you feel better." He stated in a seductive voice.

Itachi knew fully well what the man was about to do. "Not now, Kisame." Said the boy, turning onto his side. "I'm not in the mood."

"You do what I say." He growled, Roughly turning him onto his back.

"I said not now!"

He punched him in the jaw. "What was that?"

"Fine!" He was getting sick of having sex all the time; it was driving him crazy. After a few minutes, his screams were deafening. Kisame thrust himself deeper into the younger male and bit down on his back.

"Ow!"

"I want you so bad its hurts!" He growled, releasing inside him. He rubbed his hand against Itachi's erection, causing the boy to moan with pleasure.

"Kisa...me"

"Yes, I'm making you feel good aren't I?" He nibbled seductively on his ear and moved his head down to the erection. "You like?"

Itachi thrust forward. This man was teasing him badly. He gasped in pleasure as he felt a tongue caressing his throbbing, burning shaft, slowly, tantalisingly. With a moan, he came.

Bored. v.v Not at school today 'cause I'm ill. Seriously, I don't even know what's wrong with me! Haha! Hopefully, I'll be better soon. I haven't written any lemon for a while have I? Well, hope you enjoy.

[The fight between Deidara and Gaara]

Deidara: I'm going to blow you up Gaara! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Gaara (Starts coughing violently): Hold on a minute.

Deidara: What?

Gaara: (Coughs up furball) Okay, I feel better now.

Deidara: What the fuck?! O.e

Haha! Eillisha and I made this up at school. I mainly cosplay as Gaara and she sometimes cosplays as Deidara. I had (and still have) a cough and I kept getting random coughing fits all day and my french teacher said that raccoons are very clean creatures and clean everything then, Eillisha and I made this up!

(Gaara has furballs 'cause he's a raccoon) xD
