Chapter 20: Ordinary Day
None of them get a chance to react to the news that their friend and comrade is deceased before Yamada motions to someone outside the door and says,
"These four are the ones responsible."
Four guards enter the room dragging struggling Karin and Suigetsu while Juugo just comes along quietly, and Sasuke seems in a daze. He is also covered in blood and sweat, nearly dead by the look of him. But, when he glances up, he pierces all of them with a signature Uchiha glare then let's his head fall down to his chest in exhaustion.
The guards toss them into the room, on the floor. Karin and Suigetsu turn around and glare but Juugo just looks down at Sasuke nervously. He is laying limp on the ground, his eyes closed.
Yamada turns to leave as he says, "Do with them as you wish."
The door closes, and locks. There is dead silence in the room. Everyone, including Hidan is very much awake now. After a moment Pein says in a monotonous voice,
"You killed him?"
Karin snarls and yells back, "Yeah! We killed him alright! What are you gonna do-"
Konan goes up and slaps her across the face. "Don't you dare insult either one of those brothers! All of us here know you three did nothing to help kill Itachi. If Sasuke's pride was anything like his brother's... he would do it alone. I bet he didn't even want you all there!"
Karin looks away, knowing all of what Konan says is true. Juugo and Suigetsu get into a protective form around Sasuke as Juugo asks,
"Are you going to kill him?"
Suigetsu steps in and says, "Yeah! Cuz if you do you'll have to go through us!"
Pein just narrows his eyes and growls, "Sasuke Uchiha is a moron,"
"and a prick." Konan adds.
"An Idiot."
"Fuck face!"
"Douche-bag, un."
"Bastard."
"Meany!"
"Complete asshole."
"But..." Kisame says softly as he sits down. "He is Itachi's brother. So no, we will not kill him."
There is silence for a while then Sasuke groans on the floor. Karin looks at him then pulls up her sleeve. The others see bite marks on her skin then watch as she makes Sasuke bite down and suck. After a while he lets go of her skin and opens his eyes slowly, looking around. When he sees where he he looks down, almost in a bow, and says in an uncaring voice,
"You can kill me if you want."
"Sasuke!" Karin cries.
He doesn't look up. "I've gotten my revenge. I don't want to live if I'm going to be stuck in here forever."
All of Akatsuki is silent then Pein asks,
"What if you could get out of here? Would you want to live then?"
Sasuke looks up, the tiniest glimmer of hope in his eyes.
"Are you planning to esc-" Suigetsu starts but is cut off by Karin punching him. He turns to her and she motions to the many camera's in the room.
"Would you all like to join Akatsuki?" Pein asks.
Sasuke looks thoughtful for a moment then he just nods. The other three take that as a sign and they all nod as well. Pein nods then turns to Kakuzu saying,
"We should get his wounds treated for real. Sorry for the inconvenience on your wedding night Kakuzu, Hidan."
Kakuzu walks over to Sasuke Hidan yawns and says, "It's ok. Does this mean I can go to sleep now?"
"Sure." Kakuzu answer. Then he looks back and adds. "And since this is mine and Hidan's night, we get the bed, no sharing. All the rest of you are sleeping on the floor."
The other Akatsuki members groan and Zetsu even spits, "Stingy!" Hidan just smiles and kisses Kakuzu before sliding into the bed.
Deidara glances nervously at Kisame then he goes over to him and asks in a small voice, "Are you alright, un?"
"Huh?" Kisame asks then he just shakes his head to stop from looking so dazed and says, "I'm fine. I knew this was going to happen. Itachi... wanted it this way."
Deidara's eyes widen.
"Don't tell anyone." Kisame says before laying back on the seat and closing his eyes.
It doesn't take Kakuzu long to patch Sasuke's wounds and he leaves the tired Uchiha alone to go lie in bed with a now sleeping Hidan. Karin, Suigetsu, Juugo and Sasuke group together towards the front of the room but halfway through the night, when everyone else is asleep, Tobi goes over to Sasuke and whispers something to him so even all the microphones in the room couldn't pick it up.
Sasuke's eye shoot open wide and his heart catches. A single tear fall from his eyes as Tobi continues talking in a low whisper.
__________________________________________________
Over the next few days Sasuke would spend a lot of time with Tobi and Zetsu. No one really questioned it, they just figured Sasuke got a long with Tobi easily, most people did. There was only one time when Sasuke almost got into a fight with another inmate named Bumble Bee but Pein had been able to stop the fight before someone died.
The only person who seemed really changed by Itachi's death was Kisame. He wouldn't speak unless spoken to directly. He wasn't eating and had gotten thinner. A few had asked him if he had any hard feelings towards Sasuke but he just replied,
"I could never hate someone so much like Itachi."
When people asked him if he was in love with Sasuke he would reply,
"I could never replace Itachi. Especially with the same person Itachi himself was in love with."
When Deidara tried telling him that Itachi wouldn't have wanted him to act this way he just scowled and replied,
"Itachi is dead."
About two weeks since Itachi's death, they are eating lunch and Kisame sits down at their table with his food. He picks at it lazily until someone pokes his back and says in an annoyed voice,
"Hey! You're in my seat Fish-face."
Kisame turns around to see Suigetsu staring down at him. He snickers though he is not really amused as he replies,
"Fish-face? Look who's talking."
Suigetsu frowns and says, "You're just jealous you could look this good, ugly!"
Kisame snap. He stands up swiftly and before Suigetsu can do anything he pins the younger boy against the table and leans over him. The rest of the table is quiet as Kisame says softly in Suigetsu's ear,
"Don't mess with me, kid. I could devour you in one bite."
He then just stands up, places his hands in his pockets, and walks away. Suigetsu stares at his back until he turns the corner. He looks annoyed as he turns around and takes his seat. Everyone is looking at him then they soon start to try and muffle their laughter. He growls,
"What are you all laughing about!?"
Most stop laughing and look around awkwardly until Suigetsu looks down at his food and starts poking and prodding it just like Kisame had been doing only a few minutes ago.
Suddenly, Yamada's voice comes over the loudspeakers,
"Sasuke Uchiha, you have a guest."
The table turn to looks at Sasuke but he just stares down at his food unfazed. Yamada's voice comes on the loudspeaker again and this tim he seems annoyed,
"I repeat; Sasuke Uchiha, you have a guest. Please come to the guest room to see him."
Sasuke still does not move. Now Yamada's voice gets more authoritative,
"Sasuke Uchiha, stand up from the lunch table and walk out of the common room now."
"Hn." Sasuke says, still not moving. "Damn camera's."
The loudspeaker doesn't go off and Yamada starts again,
"There will be consequences if you do not-"
There seems to be some sort of disturbance from the loudspeaker and a lot of cursing and scraping can be heard until a louder voice than Yamada's yells into it,
"SASUKE! YOU BETTER GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE RIGHT NOW OR I SWEAR I'LL COME IN THERE AND GET- shut the fuck up you loser! I'll go see him if I want to! No! Wait, don't take the-"
There us silence for a moment then Yamada's voice comes on again with a lot of yelling in the back round,
"Excuse me for that interruption. One last chance Sasuke, or I'm sending Mr. Uzumaki away for today."
Sasuke just leans back in his chair and says clearly, "I don't give a damn what you do with him."
Over the loudspeaker there is even louder yelling that seems to get farther away until it disappears entirely then Yamada says clearly and calmly,
"Very well."
The loudspeaker is shut off and everyone avoids Sasuke's thoughtful glare until he gets up and throws his lunch away then walks over to the television.
There is silence at the Akatsuki table and Deidara decides to break it by turning to Hidan and asking,
"How far along are you, yeah?"
"The hell should I know." Hidan replies with a grimace.
"He's five months." Kakuzu says.
"Oh wow!" Konan says happily. "I didn't know it'd been that long! So much has happened I guess we just didn't notice the time passing. You know you should probably be able to tell the gender of the baby by now."
Hidan looks up, suddenly intrigued.
"Really?" he asks. He turns to Kakuzu who also looks interested and asks,
"When's my next checkup thingy?"
"Tomorrow. This is good. We can start thinking of names once we know it's gender."
