Itia woke up in a warm bed. Her dark purple comforter was up to her ear. She was lying on her stomach. "Sister?"
"What?" She asked drowsily.
"How do you feel?"
"O-okay, I guess." The girl sat up.
"I have something to tell you."
"What?" Itachi looked around the room, blushing. "Brother. You're fidgeting. What's wrong? You can tell me."
"Well, it's about Kisame..." Itia smiled.
"I'm not stupid, Itachi." He was surprised. She almost never used his real name. "You're gay. So? You're still my same brother." She finished with a soft smile.
"Y-yeah. Dad wasn't too happy."
"Dad was an ass. We both knew it. Wait..."
"What?"
"W-what happened to Sasuke? Did Dad hurt him!?!" She was almost in tears.
"No."
"Then what happened?"
"I don't want to talk about it."
"Dinner!" Konan yelled. Itia slid out of bed and hurried after her brother.
"Brother, what happened?" He kept walking. "Tell me." She grabbed his arm.
"No." He yanked his arm away and walked through a door. The female stood there, crestfallen. He never acted so cold. A hand brushed her arm and she yelped, jumping a little. Sasori stood next to her, looking concerned.
"You okay, Itia?" The girl shivered.
"My... brother..." She looked so upset.
"What about him, honey?" She shook her head and walked into the door Itachi had. There was a round table in the middle of the room. She sat down, Deidara to her left, Tobi to her right. She laid her head on the table and closed her eyes. 'What could he be hiding? We tell each other everything. He just told me he was gay for fuck's sake. It hurts to be lied to by your own brother. Why would he lie to me? I finally found my brother and he keeps something from me! What happened to our little brother? It can't be all that bad. Even a jackass like Orochimaru would tell me if something bad happened to my little brother. Right? Oh man! This is gonna bother me until I find out. Maybe someone else knows. Who would know? Pein of course. Konan too. Wait! His boyfriend! I'll ask him la-'
"Itia!" She was ripped from her thoughts by Konan.
"W-what?"
"You okay?"
"Y-yeah." She looked around. There was nobody else at the table. "Do you happen to know where Kisame is?"
"Living room." Itia stood up.
"Thanks." She wound through the stone corridors until she came to a door. She pushed it open and stepped in. Kisame and Kakuzu were sitting in different chairs, talking.
"This one is annoying! I know Leader said not to kill him, but he's infuriating."
"Sounds bad." The girl stood there, not wanting to intrude on their conversation. After a few minutes, Kakuzu stood up and left. Kisame looked at his boyfriend's twin curiously. "Told you, didn't he?"
"Yeah. That's not why I'm here, though." Kisame patted the open space next to him and Itia sat down.
"What are you here for then?"
"There's something Itachi won't tell me."
"What's that?"
"What happened to our younger brother, Sasuke. I was wondering, do you know?"
"Yes, I do. Would you really like to know?" Itia nodded. "Well, when your brother was thirteen, something went airy in your clan. He ended up killing everyone. Except your brother."
"Okay..."
"You're not fazed by that?"
"I don't blame him. They were all pompous asses. Except Momma." Itia sighed. "I missed so much and it's all Orochimaru's fault!"
"Wait. Did you say Orochimaru?"
"Yeah..."
"He was here for a short while. Your brother chased him out, though. Mostly because he tried to take over your brother's body."
"That pig. He had me. Why couldn't he leave my brother alone!?!" She hopped up. "I need to think. Thank you for telling me, Kisame-kun." She pushed the door open and stomped out. She stopped in her tracks when she heard screaming.
"No! Don't!"
"Again, Kakuzu!?!" Pein yelled from somewhere.
"Hell yes!" Kakuzu yelled back. Itia walked back to her room and stripped down. She turned the water in her bathroom on and let the hot water fill up. When it was done, she slid in and sighed. Hot water was amazing for the nerves.
