At that Deidara was wide eyed and shaking, Kabuto seemed only dully alarmed.
As for me, I was standing there with Tobi's arms still wrapped around me. I'm not sure if any of you have ever heard a gunshot close range, it's deafening.
Suddenly I felt Tobi's knees start to give, and he began slipping, his arms loosening, and he let out a frightened whimper.
"Tobi? Tobi!" I yelled, dropping to my knees, causing him to let out another loud whine.
A pool of red was coloring his shirt.
Deidara was kneeling next to us, concern evident on his face."Tobi un?" he asked, and Tobi whined again.
I pulled off his shirt to see the damage.
He'd been shot.
"He saved our life un." Deidara said, tears beginning to fall down his face.
"He's not dead yet brat, Tobi can you hear me?" I asked, and Tobi let out another gruntish whine, but the blood was starting to pool. This was not good.
"Danna is he?" Deidara asked, breathing heavily. I looked at him, then looked behind me, Kabuto had disappeared.
"Brat go get help." I commanded, and he got up, then took off as fast as he could go. I had no idea what to do, I'd heard somewhere to apply pressure to try and stop the bleeding, so I folded up his shirt and pressed down on it, only to get barely a groan in return.
We were running out of time.
He reached up his hand, and pulled off his mask. I looked at his face, pure sympathy welling in my body.
"Sasori san." he whispered, blood dribbling from his mouth.
"Tobi don't." he kept talking, ignoring the fact that I'd cut in.
"Take care of senpai ok?" Tobi asked me, his one good eye looking up at me hopefully. "Promise me, you won't hurt him, I don't want senpai to be alone like that... not... again."
"I promise Tobi." I said whispered. "I promise."
At that he gave me a small smile."Thanks Sasori san."
Then I heard concerned footsteps, and Deidara had come running back with a few orderlies. Someone said holy shit, and then pulled out a walkie talkie and began calling everyone back. Suddenly an ambulance came and took Tobi away from us.
I was still coated in his blood.
"Danna un?" I heard Deidara ask, and suddenly he was next to me, nuzzling me. He put his arms around me and soothed me, or at least tried to. Shortly after the others were there, Hidan didn't understand what was going on probably the drugs, the others were quiet, Zet and Su were even crying softly, comforting each other which frankly scared the hell out of me.
Then an orderly came over to us, completely hysterical, followed by Kisame.
"Has anyone seen Itachi?" At that we all looked around.
"No." was the response from each of us, and that made her even more hysterical.
She turned to her side, only to see Kisame had disappeared, although the rest of us had seen him run into the woods.
It was quite possible, Itachi was dead.
However, he wasn't.
Itachi was sitting by a river that ran throughout the park, or at least he thought he was, he could hear the rushing water but that was it. He and Kisame had been walking on a path, when the bang had went off, and they had somehow been separated. The crowd of rushing people probably helped that fact.
To make things even worse he's wandered off the path and into the woods near the river, where he'd somehow managed to fall and injure his ankle. It hurt to stand on it, but he could crawl.
Simply humiliating.
Suddenly the rustle of footsteps made him turn in that direction excitedly.
Kisame had found him!
He held out his hand, expecting to feel his friend's cool touch, only to get a hand that didn't exactly feel quite right. then the hand yanked him to his feet quite roughly, he let out a cry of pain, not a yelp, just a cry, and fell back down.
"Hurt Itachi kun?" came a voice almost like a purr, and Itachi froze, squinting with his bad eyes, getting a blurred image of...
Oh god no.
"How the hell did you?" Itachi started, only to feel his shirt being tugged at. He crossed his arms, making it even harder to remove it, and earned a dissatisfied sigh.
"Are you jealous Itachi kun? Are you jealous I chose Deidara instead of you?" The voice purred.
"Go away go away!" yelled Itachi angrily, trying to sound fierce. Suddenly his shirt was torn off, revealing his bare chest.
"Itachi kun Itachi kun." tsked the voice as the hands began to feel Itachi, poking and rubbing.
"Stop it, get the hell off me!" Itachi yelled, trying to bite and claw, although he couldn't see his attacker. The voice sighed, suddenly tweaking one of his nipples, making him cry out.
"Why Itachi kun? I was going to give you attention if I hadn't been caught, you were so pretty Itachi san. Don't worry, Orochimaru's here now." said Orochimaru, kissing Itachi lightly on the chest. At that moment Itachi kicked him, with his good foot of course. Orochimaru let out a grunt and fell back. Itachi crawled, not caring what direction he was going in.
Until he managed to plummet straight into the river. The current was strong enough to pull him along, and deep so that his feet couldn't touch the bottom.
To make it worse each kick of his foot caused a pain that was starting to make his head throb. It was hard work, kicking and fighting to keep his head above the current. His body began to give out, and he began to drink a little of the water. His head began to bob, dipping deeper and deeper, until right before his head went completely under he heard a splash.
Oh god no, please don't let him come get me, please don't.
An arm grabbed him around the waist, and in the water it was hard to tell who it was. Soon he was above water one more, coughing to expel some water, however too weak to move.
He didn't know what Orochimaru was going to do he'd rape him like Deidara.
Or kill him.
"Itachi!" His heart leapt in his chest. "Itachi! Say something, come on!"
"Kisame." he whispered, confused, yet happy.
"Itachi." the voice was filled with relief, "Hang on this may hurt." Itachi felt himself being lifted a little, his hand searching for the ledge of the river and grabbing it as Kisame tossed him up and over the edge onto the hard ground, right onto his bad ankle. He let out a cry, and he heard another noise, probably Kisame getting out of the water.
"Are you hurt Itachi?" Kisame asked concerned.
"My ankle." said Itachi, and Kisame gently picked up the hurt ankle, gently turning it this way and that. When he finished Itachi sat up, and Itachi's arms were pushed up. He looked confused, and then suddenly a warm sweatshirt was placed on him, Kisame's. The he felt himself being lifted.
"Kisame what are you?" he asked confused at Kisame got him to ride piggyback style.
"Just rest Itachi." said Kisame. "You look like you need it."
Itachi sighed, then leaned into Kisame's hair, taking a deep breath, then falling into a deep sleep as Kisame headed back to the others.
