Ok so I'm not really sure how long this fic is going to be, I'm kinda making it up as I go, it's not outlined or anything, and I'm not sure if I'll have an appearance by madara or not, to be honest I'm not sure where I'd put it in at but I am trying to find a place where he can come in at since I've gotten so many requests for him.
Sasuke woke up to the sound of knocking and sat up to see Kisame standing in the doorway.
"What do you want Kisame?" Itachi asked calmly
"Just wondering if you wanted to hang out today" Kisame said with a shrug.
"Sure just give me a little while to get dressed" Itachi replied.
Itachi and Sasuke got dressed and they headed to the living room with Kisame. Kisame stayed close to Itachi all day and kept drawing his attention whenever Itachi would try to get away. Sasuke watched from the couch, where he was supposed to be watching a show with Naruto and Kakashi, as Kisame pulled Itachi close to him to whisper something in his ear. Kakashi gave Sasuke a curious look as he noticed that Sasuke wasn't paying attention to the tv and seemed to be getting angry about something. Kakashi looked over to where Sasuke was staring and sighed, this wasn't going to end well.
Things got even worse when Hidan brought drinks in and suggested that they all play cards. Sasuke stayed on the couch with Kakashi and Naruto and tried to focus on the tv, Sasori watched him closely from the other side of the room and smirked as he saw Sasuke glance over at Itachi. Sasori looked at Kisame and nodded towards Sasuke who had just glanced over again. Kisame looked at Sasuke and smirked as Sasuke glared at him and went back to hanging all over Itachi.
"Desperate jackass" Sasuke muttered making Naruto look at him in confusion and Kakashi got a little nervous.
"What should we watch next?" Kakashi asked quickly, trying to pull Sasukes attention away from the situation.
"Nothing, I'm going to the kitchen for a snack" Sasuke said as he quickly got up.
Sasori watched Sasuke leave with another angry glance back at Itachi and smirked, jealousy was the best weapon. Sasuke wasn't paying any attention to where he was walking and ended up running into Pein and falling to the floor with a surprised grunt. Pein looked down at him in surprise and noticed the annoyed look on his face.
"What's wrong with you?" Pein asked looking at Sasuke curiously as Konan helped him up.
"Nothing" Sasuke snapped and swerved around them to get to the kitchen.
Pein sighed as he watched Sasuke stalk off towards the kitchen. Konan looked at Pein curiously as he went after Sasuke to see what was going on. Pein got to the kitchen and saw Sasuke sitting at the table glaring into a glass of water.
"What's up with you?" Pein asked as he sat down across from Sasuke.
"Nothing" Sasuke grumbled.
"Liar" Pein said calmly as he watched Sasuke.
"Shut up" Sasuke snapped glaring up at Pein.
"Fine, I won't make you tell me, but why don't you come into the living room and at least try to be somewhat social" Pein said as he got up.
"Why should I?" Sasuke asked glaring up at him.
"Because hanging around with only Itachi and that blonde ball of energy can't be too healthy" Pein replied.
"Did you ever think that maybe I don't like being social?" Sasuke grumbled.
"I've noticed, you're even more secluded than Zetsu and that's not really a compliment" Pein said as he grabbed Sasukes arm and drug him out of the kitchen and towards the living room.
"I said I don't want to" Sasuke snapped as they came into the living room.
"And I don't care" Pein said as he sat Sasuke down in between Konan and Hidan.
Hidan instantly latched onto Sasuke and yelled about how he had a new card partner.
"Yay Sasuke came to play" Hidan yelled as he nearly crushed Sasuke who was struggling and gasping for air, Hidan finally let go and grinned at him.
"You've been drinking again haven't you?" Sasuke asked a little annoyed at nearly being crushed.
"Being immortal means I don't have to worry about alcohol poisoning" Hidan said with a grin as he took another swig.
Sasuke rolled his eyes at him and focused on the game, Itachi smiled at him from across the table before his attention was again directed at Kisame. Sasuke glared at them and focused on the cards as he listened to Hidans babbling about how they needed a strategy because Itachi was cheating. Sasuke wasn't listening and suddenly felt Itachis chakra increase and smirked as he activated his sharingan and got a confused look from Pein.
"That trick doesn't work with me Itachi" Sasuke said as he looked up to see Itachi looking over at him with his sharingan and a surprised look on his face.
"When did you learn to block that?" Itachi asked in shock.
"Kakashi cheated at cards too" Sasuke said as he looked over at Kakashi.
"I'm impressed I didn't think you had that much control over your sharingan yet" Itachi said with a devious smirk.
"More than you know" Sasuke mumbled as Pein looked at him questioningly, Itachi hadn't heard the last part since Kisame had started hanging all over him again.
What was even worse was that Itachi seemed to be completely clueless to Kisames advances, which annoyed Sasuke even more. Pein was watching Sasuke carefully to try and figure out what was upsetting him so much. After a while Sasuke started to actually get into the game and he and Hidan actually won a couple of times, when Sasuke could keep him from telling the others what their hand was. Itachi was still trying to peek at their cards but Sasuke blocked him every time, something that seemed to really make Itachi happy for some reason. Hidan reached back and grabbed another bottle handing it to Sasuke.
"What's this?" Sasuke asked curiously looking at the unlabeled bottle.
"It's vodka, but the label was lame so I ripped it off, go ahead and try it" Hidan said taking the cap off and shoving it at Sasuke.
"I can't drink Hidan" Sasuke said as he gave Hidan a questioning look.
"Why not, even tho you're only like….wow, how old are you anyway?" Hidan asked getting sidetracked.
"I'm 15" Sasuke said getting shocked looks from everyone around him except his old team.
"You're only 15, I thought you were older than that" Hidan said thoughtfully.
"Nope, I'm 15" Sasuke said looking at Hidan curiously.
"Well whatever, you can still drink, it's not like you'll get in trouble for it here" Hidan said as he pushed the bottled towards Sasuke.
"Hidan he's pregnant you moron, you can't drink when you're pregnant" Itachi snapped as he glared at Hidan.
"Oh yeah I forgot about that rule" Hidan said with a grin.
"And I don't appreciate you trying to corrupt my little brother" Itachi said grumpily.
"I've been drinking for the past 2 years Itachi" Sasuke said casually earning a surprised look from everyone.
"What, you were drinking out there? You were only about 13 when you went out there" Itachi yelled as everyone backed up a bit.
"You go live out there and see if you can get thru the week without at least one shot of sake" Sasuke grumbled as he glared across the table.
"Sake? you way too young to be drinking something as strong as Sake. Are you trying to kill yourself?" Itachi yelled, Sasuke smiled a bit as Itachis last question reminded him of Kimi.
"Do you think this is funny or something?" Itachi asked as everyone looked between them nervously, Itachi had fully snapped at the news of Sasuke drinking.
"Actually yeah it kinda is funny" Sasuke said laughing a bit as everyone looked at him in shock, Itachis eyes narrowed dangerously.
"Sasuke this isn't funny, you shouldn't be drinking sake at such a young age" Itachi yelled as Sasuke raised an eyebrow at him.
"I was stressed, god, you sound like Kimi, it's not like I'm an alcoholic I just took a shot before bed to help me sleep, if you have a problem with that then blow it out your ass because I don't care" Sasuke said glaring over at Itachi.
"There are better ways of getting to sleep" Itachi hissed.
"Yeah well it was either go with the damn sake or go with Orochimarus way of helping me get to sleep and the sake sounded a lot better" Sasuke grumbled as he looked at the table.
"What was Orochimarus way of helping you get to sleep?" Naruto asked curiously.
"He offered to wear me out to the point that I'd pass out" Sasuke said with a grimace.
"Well that's not so bad, I used to train before bed too so that I could get to sleep, it always worked for me" Naruto said cheerfully.
"It would have been fine if he meant that we would train but he was talking about something way different and Suigetsu gave me some sake instead" Sasuke said with a shrug.
"Who is this suigetsu?" Itachi hissed, he was ready to go kill the person who had given the sake to Sasuke.
"He was one of the boys that Orochimaru experimented on and one of the guys on my team, he turns to water when you hit him hard enough" Sasuke said with a slight sadistic smirk.
"I get the feeling you hit him a lot" Kakashi said as he looked at Sasuke with a disapproving look.
"Was I supposed to pity him when he could slip out every night without getting noticed, had a full pass from Orochimarus bedroom because he could turn into a puddle to avoid it and was a jackass who tried to help Kabuto get pictures of me in the shower for 20 bucks?" Sasuke asked looking up at Kakashi questioningly.
"Why would Kabuto want pictures of you, he's straight" Naruto said remembering how he always hit on Tsunades apprentice.
"They were for Orochimaru" Sasuke grumbled as he stared at the table.
"Oh, why would he want pictures of you naked?" Naruto asked curiously.
Sasuke looked at Naruto in slight disbelief.
"When you act like this I actually wonder if you just do nothing but eat ramen and ignore the more disturbing parts of the world" Sasuke said looking at Naruto curiously.
"He does" Sakura said looking over at Naruto with an irritated look.
"Don't try to change the subject Sasuke, I can't believe you started drinking like that, don't you even remember what it was like when fugako drank?" Itachi yelled, everyone looked at him in confusion, none of them recognized their fathers actual name.
"I probably remember it a lot better than you do, you were gone when he started the heavy drinking, you only saw it when you were home, you have no idea what he was really like when he downed an entire bottle of sake" Sasuke snapped as he got up to leave.
Sasuke was almost to the door when Itachi caught up to him.
"You can't just run from this Sasuke" Itachi yelled as he turned Sasuke around to face him.
"Would you just go back to playing with your fish and leave me alone" Sasuke snapped yanking his arm out of Itachis grip and storming out of the room.
Itachi just stood there with a look of shock and confusion as he watched Sasuke leave. Sasori looked at Itachi seriously as he came over.
"That could have been handled a bit better" Sasori said as he patted Itachi on the back, Itachi just glared at him.
"How was I supposed to react to that?" Itachi growled glaring down at Sasori.
"I'll go see if I can calm him down, I didn't spend all that time decorating the nursery with Deidara for you two to break up over a little underage drinking" Sasori said earning a glare from Itachi.
"He shouldn't be drinking" Itachi said defiantly.
"I agree with you on that point Itachi, but Sasori is right, yelling has never been very effective with Sasuke" Kakashi said as Sasori went after him.
Sasori went after Sasuke and caught up with him in the hall that held his room. Sasuke looked back at him curiously as he realized that there was someone else there. Sasuke saw who it was and slowed down so that he could catch up.
"How did you know that I came to talk to you?" Sasori asked curiously as he caught up.
"Because you were watching me and you had no reason to leave the living room and come this way that I know of" Sasuke said looking over at Sasori.
"Well that's half true, my room is right there, but you seemed upset so I figured that somebody needed to talk to you" Sasori said with a smirk.
"Well there's nothing to talk about, he had no right to bitch at me for something that happened when we were still enemies" Sasuke growled as he sped up a bit.
"Why don't we talk about it in here, there are people who seem to be too nosey for their own good" Sasori said opening a door and motioning for Sasuke to enter.
Sasuke looked around curiously but went into the room as he was asked, he had no reason to distrust Sasori. Sasori went in after him and shut the door and put a seal on it before going to sit on one of the beds motioning for Sasuke to sit down as well.
"What was so important that you couldn't have someone else hear?" Sasuke asked curiously.
"I just figured that since you seemed to get so upset about it in the living room that you wouldn't want to talk about it in the halls" Sasori said calmly.
"Very well what was it you wanted to talk to me about?" Sasuke asked calmly.
"Itachi seemed to get very upset about you drinking" Sasori said watching Sasuke carefully.
"Well it's really none of his business, I'd like to see him live out there under the same circumstances and not have to have a drink every once in a while" Sasuke grumbled
"I realize this, but did you really have to get so upset about it, he was, after all, just concerned for your health" Sasori said smirking when Sasuke just glared at him.
"Or maybe you got upset about something else" Sasori said thoughtfully.
"What else would I be upset about?" Sasuke asked grumpily.
"Well before you left I believe you told Itachi to go back to playing with his fish and leave you alone, you wouldn't have been referring to Kisame would you?" Sasori asked curiously.
"Are there any other fish walking around here?" Sasuke said before he even thought about it.
"So you're jealous of Kisame?" Sasori asked in amusement.
"Why would I be jealous of Kisame?" Sasuke asked moodily.
"Well Itachi has been spending a lot of time around Kisame since they got back from their mission, it's only logical that people would assume that something happened between them" Sasori said smirking when he saw Sasuke scowl.
"Why would I care if anything happened between them?" Sasuke growled.
"You don't have to act like you don't care around me, I already got you to admit that you like Itachi" Sasori said with a smirk.
"How do you know I was telling the truth, I could have been lying to get you to tell me where the camera was" Sasuke said looking at Sasori curiously.
"You wouldn't have been worried about the camera if you hadn't planned to sleep with him again, which you did" Sasori said with a smirk.
"Shut up, there's no way you could know that" Sasuke snapped, a little embarrassed about being caught.
"I walked by your room later that day and heard you guys" Sasori said laughing at Sasukes horrified expression.
"You weren't exactly quiet about it, I could hear you from halfway down the connecting hallway" Sasori said laughing again when Sasukes face turned red.
"You seem to have run out of arguments against you and Itachi being more than just brothers" Sasori said with a smirk.
"Fine but what does that have to do with what happened earlier?" Sasuke asked with a glare.
"Kisame has started showing interest in Itachi and he's not exactly telling Kisame to back off, if you don't act soon Kisame might win Itachi over" Sasori said watching Sasuke closely.
"I don't care, he can have Itachi if he really wants him" Sasuke growled as he went to get up.
"All you have to do to keep him is show him you want him and find a way to back Kisame off, it really shouldn't be that hard considering you have a lot of pull with him already" Sasori said calmly.
Sasuke just glanced back and left the room without another word and went to his own room. Sasuke paced the room arguing with himself over whether he really wanted to keep Itachi in that way. 'I've always wanted my older brother back but do I want him back in that way? Maybe, but it's wrong, this could be a way to stop this, before it goes any further. Tho how could it go further than it already has?' Sasuke thought as he touched his stomach reflexively. Itachi walked in as Sasuke was staring at his stomach thoughtfully, Sasuke didn't even notice Itachi until he was standing in front of him, Sasuke looked at the wall defiantly to avoid having to look at Itachi. Sasuke was fully prepared to get yelled at again for the way he acted but was surprised when Itachi just pulled him into his arms and held him. 'Even if I did want to keep him how would I make Kisame back off' Sasuke thought as he leaned into Itachis embrace.
Ok so Sasoris plan seems to be working and I couldn't help but put an argument in there and have Sasuke call Kisame a fish. So now, what will happen next? Will Sasuke decide to keep Itachi? How will Sasuke get Kisame to back off? And why is there a snake that keeps circling the base? We'll find out in the next chapter. Thanks for reading and I hope you liked this chapter. Please review and tell me what you think, and if you have any suggestions just let me know.
