It Takes Two to Tango

Chapter 10

The outside of the manor didn't really match the inside. It was Gothic styled, with gargoyles, and spiral fences. The entrance was guarded by two black raven statues, the heavy mahogany door had carvings of a serpent, and the handle was the head of a lion.

But inside….inside was totally different. The inside had been totally remodeled to resemble Pein's room back at the shop. The walls, instead of white, were completely black. The floors were also checked black and white with neon lights placed underneath it, making it glow. The furniture, for the most part, was a glowing transparent white color with a couple of red and blue pieces.

You literally felt, that once entering the old Gothic door, you had time traveled to a distant future.

The first room they made it into was the foyer. Above, was a black crystal chandelier that hadn't been put to use in a long time. The foyer led out two ways, left and right, but according to Hidan, the mansion was remodeled in a circular manner, so you could never get lost, you'd always end up in the entrance.

Fei could hear loud music banging from both sides, neon lights, fog, and dancing bodies. But they didn't go into the multitude, instead, Hidan led them up the black staircases, took them down a hall, and to a white door. Hidan opened it and stepped aside to let them through.

"Welcome to the party."


The music was softer but could be heard just as well throughout the white room. Pieces of black furniture were scattered, bodies on them. In the middle of the room there was a black dance floor, a few girls shaking to the beat.

Fei immediately recognized Konan's head of blue hair, along with Pein's shock of orange. Hidan led them over to a long black couch and Deidara and he sat down. Sasori and Itachi left them, going over to say their greetings to their boss.

"It feels…." Fei started.

"Like another world?" Deidara finished.

Fei nodded as he looked around the room. Nobody payed any attention to them, which he was glad for, but he still felt as though everyone was watching..waiting..for them to make a move. Fei felt the couch sink as someone sat next to him, he turned to meet with scarlet eyes.

"Hidan-san….." Fei said as the silver-haired male sat next to him.

"Well, you know my name but I don't know yours." He said with a handsome smirk.

Fei smiled slightly, "Fei."

"Fei…" Hidan rolled the name in his mouth, contemplating it. "Short, simple, sweet. I like it! It's a pleasure to meet you Fei-san!"

Fei smiled and nodded but looked away as they were approached by another person. He was tall….very tall…..looming over him at about 6'2. His hair was died an inky blue color and he had sharp yellow eyes. Fei shrunk back a bit as the person reminded him of a shark.

"Oi! Hidan! We're out of vodka! Where's that damn Kakuzu? I told him two K wasn't enough!" The guy was tipsy, you could see it from the haze in his eyes and his wavering step.

"Kisame. First of all, I don't know where he is, I'm not his damn mother to be keeping track of him. Second, are you drunk? I distinctly remember Pein saying you weren't to touch a drop of alcohol." Hidan said as he looked up at the giant named Kisame.

Kisame took a step towards Hidan and tripped, falling in between Fei and Hidan. Fei looked at him curiously, the stench of vodka reeked from his body, making him shy away a bit. Kisame shifted, starting to get up and in the process put a hand on Fei's thigh.

He stiffened at the unwelcomed contact. A blush of embarrassment tainted his face as he looked at Hidan for help. Hidan gave an audible growl and quickly pulled Kisame off of the couch. "Come on man! You're drunk! Go somewhere else!" Hidan growled.

Kisame stumbled as he was pushed back, unfortunately, gravity wasn't kind to drunken people, so he fell again; this time on top of Fei. Fei was pushed back against the couch as Kisame's weight fell completely on him. The wind was knocked from him and along with the strong smell of vodka, it made him dizzy.

"Fei!" Deidara jumped from the couch, his shout attracted attention from all over the room.

Kisame had apparently given up on standing up, and started cuddling against Fei, his large hands running over his body as though he were a pillow. But it didn't last long because soon Kisame was pulled back harshly by two people: Itachi and Hidan.

Fei looked up to both of them, anger danced across their eyes. Kisame was then taken by some other people and Hidan offered Fei a hand. He was about to take it when he was grabbed by the arms and pulled up by Itachi. Fei cocked his head backwards to look at Itachi, who wasn't looking at him but at Hidan. Fei looked back at Hidan and swore he saw electricity run between the two.

"Uchiha!" Hidan spat.

"Hidan." Itachi said as he pulled Fei towards him.

Hidan noticed this and frowned. "He yours?" He said referring to Fei.

Fei's eyebrow twitched in annoyance, he hated being referred to as a thing. "So what if he is?" Itachi answered, not letting go of Fei's arm.

Hidan growled, "Huh. I though you preferred boobs to penises Uchiha! What would Daddy say if he found out his cute little son was playing around with a guy? Eh?" Hidan snarled into Itachi's face. "How about you give him to me instead? After all, I take much better care of my toys than you do." Hidan said with a nasty sneer.

A growl sounded. But it was neither Itachi's nor Hidan's. They both looked down to the smaller male that was in between them. Said male suddenly thrust out his arms and pushed both males from him. They both looked shocked, Fei was barely half their size not to mention weight and he had pushed BOTH of them back. But they didn't have time to question anything because the brunette walked past them in angry fury.

"I'm leaving." He said, opening the door and closing it behind him in a slam.

The white room had fallen into complete silence. Everybody had turned to the three, now two, males in curiosity. Itachi tsked and then went through the door also, leaving Hidan behind. Hidan looked after Itachi with rage in his eyes, and then turned to the bar.

Fei POV

I quickly went down the hall and turned to where we had came from…..or not.

I looked at the mahogany floored hallway, it looked vaguely familiar….so I though, What the heck? I can't get lost right? And started his venture down the hall.

.

.

Five minutes later

"Shit." I cursed out loud as I looked down the completely unfamiliar hall. In only five minutes, I had gotten lost…..great. I said to myself as I reached another crossing; left, right, forward, or back. I stood there, my mouth twisted in indecision, and my eyes shifting towards the fours directions.

I was about to turn left when I heard something. Music? I turned to the right, following the sound, but I soon noticed that the music wasn't dance music. I could hear the sounds of recorded piano keys playing.

And so I went right, into a dark hallway lit only by small emergency lamps, and with wine colored walls. The recorded piano keys reverberated softly through the hallway; I could see a light further in front.

The keys sounded, almost in sync with my movements. Suddenly a memory flashed by my eyes

.

.

The French window was open, its white curtains blowing back with the Italian summer wind. Fei's father sat at the piano, fingers to the keys, letting out a rolling tune. Soon, Fei's mother started softly playing on her violin, her part a bit faster than his father's.

Sonorha and Fei sat enchanted, looking up at their parents. Fei could remember thinking how magical it sounded….as if any moment his parents would turn into beautiful birds and go flying into the sky, the beautiful melody still playing.

The melody got more intense, his mother's arm moving swiftly and gracefully with the bow. His father's fingers playing harder.

Both of them had their eyes closed, as though the opening of their eyes would break the spell. Fei looked over to Sonorha who also had her eyes closed, a smile on her cheeky face, her body slightly swaying in tune to the melody.

.

.

I opened the eyes I didn't know I had closed. The piano melody got louder; I saw that the light I had seen was light filtering from under a wooden door. It was slightly cracked, letting a sliver of light escape.

I ran my hands over the door, the worn wood feeling slightly familiar. My hands lowered to the golden door knob, slowly giving it a turn. A click was heard, and I stepped into the room.


Itachi POV

I cursed at myself mentally for acting so stupid.

"Fuck Hidan!" I said as I rushed down the stairs to see if I could still catch him.

I looked down the black staircase we had come from and didn't see him. I kicked the staircase and frowned. "Dammit!"

Why was I so upset? Well….for one, I bring someone to a party and Hidan makes me act like an asshole in front of them. And two, this mansion was dangerous. Though built in a circular manner, the halls were mazes, one could easily get lost and it wasn't good to get lost in the house of criminals…..Well….at least he doesn't know that….

Itachi walked out to th parking lot, and saw nobody. They had come in his car so he couldn't be gone….That means he got lost. I said as I looked back to the large foyer of the mansion.

I treaded back up the stairs and started my search.


My eyes couldn't believe themselves.

The room…..it was exactly like his parent's room in Italy. The walls, the floor, the French window, the chandelier.

In the center of the room was a small table with a phonograph. A vinyl record was slowly being played, the piano keys sounding from the brass pavillon.

I lightly stepped into the room, afraid if I made too much noise, it would all shatter. Every detail was how Fei remembered it, the walls were the same cream color, with their golden swirls painted at the top and bottom. The furniture was the same old Italian style that I remembered. I looked at the French door, wondering that if I opened, would I be overlooking the crystal waters of the Amalfi coast? If I looked to the right, would I be able to see the expanse of the Toriano mansion? If I looked to my left, would I be able to see my mother in her flower garden?

But he didn't open it…he didn't have the chance to. Because the music ended….and so did the magic. I turned and in the doorway, stood Madara.

My eyes widened, but I stood my ground. Silence was overtaken by another melody, this one sadder. Madara look passively at me, stepping into the room, and closing the wooden door behind him.


I looked down the hallway, not seeing anyone. Growling in frustration I turned left, going down another hallway, and ending up in another hallway. These damn hallways! I growled, as I looked down the vaguely familiar hallway.

I sighed and decided to turn back; maybe he HAD made it out. I would ask that friend of his to call him.

And so I turned, my ears not picking up the slight sound of piano keys to my right.


"So?" Madara said as he sat in a white chair.

"So what?" I asked, my eyes never leaving him.

"What do you think? Does it look like it?" Madara said with a smile.

"Look like what?" I looked at him confused.

"Silly, your Father's room of course!"

I stumbled over the air in shock. My face must have revealed my surprise because Madara took amusement in it and laughed. The laughter sounded over the music, bouncing off the walls, and into my ears.

"Oh? You seem surprised? I guess your father never told you about me? It isn't surprising…you were so young back then…you wouldn't know."

"H-How do you know my father?"

The song changed….this time to an intense song. The keys were being played faster….

"Oh silly little Toriano…don't you know? I'm the one who killed your Father."


Magi: Ha! Bet you didn't expect that! XD Anyways...the song is probably still playing... :P Pretty isn't it! Ludovico is such a genius! :) Anyways, I hope it wasn't too much of a bother that I did that...but I felt that the song HAD to be present somehow _ and since you cant really put down the lyrics to an instrumental song and you can't imbed videos, this was the best option!

So! I hope you liked it! :P I'll see you back here in chapter 11!
