Itachi's promise: Chapter Seven
"Who are you?" Itachi asked, the man standing in the doorway ahead of him.
"Orochimaru, I'm a friend of fathers," Orochimaru answered, looking down at the small Uchiha with his little brother in his arms.
"Itachi, go up to your room and stay there," Fugaku ordered, from behind Orochimaru.
Itachi nodded and followed his father's orders, walking up the stairs he put his brother down in his room and continued to walk down the hallway to his own. Itachi reached his room and looked upon his room Kisame was sitting comfortably on his head reading/looking at a book Itachi was been reading for class.
"I thought you said you had Akatsuki business," Itachi said, closing his bedroom door and leaning against it.
"Yeah, dealt with," Kisame answered, Itachi sighed and slumped down against his door.
"What was wrong?" Itachi asked, Kisame smiled and shook his head.
Itachi knew all too well that Kisame wasn't allowed to tell his since he wasn't an Akatsuki member.
""Knock, knock," Someone whispered through the door.
Kisame stood from the bed, grabbing Itachi from in front of the door and pulled him to his feet beside him. Itachi stood Kisame for a minute confused, until Orochimaru entered the room closing the door behind him. Kisame growled lowly and Itachi fought the urge to take a step back behind Kisame.
"Babysitting duty, what fun," Orochimaru said, Itachi stared at Orochimaru and made sure not to move from Kisame's side.
"Orochimaru, don't interfere otherwise I will be forced to kill you," Kisame told Orochimaru, Itachi looked up at Kisame for a second and then back to Orochimaru.
"You couldn't me, even if you did try," Orochimaru told Kisame.
"Leave him alone and go away," Itachi said, Orochimaru smirked at Kisame and Itachi.
"Little boy, you know nothing," Orochimaru told Itachi.
Itachi remained quiet and Kisame noticed Itachi was thinking something over, he was planning something and he was planning fast. Dashing forward Kisame went to grab Itachi when he poofed into a cloud of smoke and appeared behind Orochimaru, kunai in hand. Raising his head, he went to push it down into Orochimaru's skin when he was flung towards Kisame. Landing at Kisame's feet, Kisame knelt be his side and helped him sit up.
"Too slow, no academy student could beat me," Orochimaru said, opening the door and leaving.
"What do you think you are doing?" Kisame demanded to know.
Itachi didn't answer, just looked down towards the floor.
"Itachi, he is an Akatsuki member," Kisame said, Itachi's eyes zoomed to Kisame's.
"Then why is he talking with my parents?" Itachi asked.
"I don't know," Kisame answered, Itachi still looking up at him even after he had finished.
Kisame nudged Itachi's door closed and held out his hand to Itachi, Itachi took Kisame's hand. Before he knew it they were out his window and Kisame had set him down on a branch and was waiting for Itachi to start dashing along the branches with him.
"Follow and stay close," Kisame ordered, Itachi did as he was told and followed after Kisame.
Roughly half an hour after they stopped and an orange haired man Pein joined them on a branch across from Kisame and Itachi. Kisame nodded his head and Pein sighed.
"What's going on Kisame?" Pein asked.
"Orochimaru, has met with Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha on more than one occasion, why exactly?" Kisame asked.
"How do you know this?" Pein asked.
"I have seen him, while watching Itachi," Kisame answered, Pein's expression changed ever so slightly.
"Kisame, he hasn't been ordered to near the Uchiha house, in fact he has been ordered to stay away from it along with the Uchihas," Pein replied.
"Then why is he near my mum and dad is he a danger?" Itachi asked, Pein looked at Kisame for a moment before answering.
"He is a danger and you need to stay away from him," Pein told Itachi.
"I can't if he decides to just walk into my room," Itachi replied angrily.
"He went in your room, Kisame?" Pein said, looking towards Kisame for an explanation.
"He entered the room, I was there. Little Itachi attacked him and was thrown back away from him then he left," Kisame answered.
"I'm going to let Madara know, and then I will send the Hokage a message telling him Orochimaru is hanging around. Kisame you need to be careful, you're an Akatsuki too," Pein told Kisame.
"Yeah, I'll lay low," Kisame replied.
"Itachi you need to be extra careful and stay in populated areas, training in woods make sure Kisame is with you and you will be safe," Pein ordered, Itachi nodded.
"Take him home," Pein ordered, Kisame nodded and Itachi and Kisame began running back the way they came.
