Chapter 3: Itachi
The prodigy of the Uchiha Clan, Itachi Uchiha, lay in the darkness of his room. Thinking. He knew going to sleep would take some time, as always. Besides the fact that he was always on high alert and even the slightest sound would awaken him, he simply had too many thoughts on his mind tonight...
Thoughts of his clan…
His life…
His brother…
The usual.
That is, until he was interrupted by a quick scream of terror, known only as Tobi, coming from only a few doors down.
Huh. For once that's not Deidara's room…Itachi thought with mild interest.
He could hear the thumping of the masked-nin's feet clumsily running down the hall.
Why must I live with such idiots? Itachi sighed inwardly as he turned to his side, deciding now was as good a time as any to try and get some sleep before the next outburst came. Which knowing this household, could mean at any instant.
Itachi had been resting for a good ten minutes before he finally felt sleep pull him away.
Just a little longer…
Creeeeeeak…. His door slowly opened.
Damn it.
"Um…Itachi?" the masked-man known as Tobi, whispered from the doorway.
He must be pretty desperate daring to disturb me. Then again, this is coming from someone who regularly puts himself in harm's way and sees it all as a game.
"What…is it…Tobi?" Itachi asked in a dangerously calm voice, causing Tobi to gulp, almost questioning why he was stupid enough to come in.
Almost.
"Um…Tobi was wondering…Itachi…um…would it be alright if Tobi…um…slept…um…here tonight?" Tobi asked timidly, his eyes downcast on the floor as his foot fidgeted with the rug.
… … …
"Um…Itachi-"
"No," Itachi answered simply.
"Oh…um…okay then…um…Then do you know who would be willing to help Tobi out? Perhaps-"
"Tobi."
"Yes, Itachi?"
"Get out."
"Um..hahaha. Of course Itachi. Tobi is leaving…" Tobi slowly backed away from the Uchiha. He jumped as his hand felt the doorknob behind him and slowly turned the handle.
"Well then…um…thank you anyway…Itachi…"
And with that, Tobi zipped out the door and ran around the corner as he slid down a nearby wall.
"Phew! Itachi is so scary…Even scarier than Deidara Senpai…Maybe Tobi should see Senpai next? No…Senpai will try and bomb Tobi…But who else can Tobi see…"
