For My Little Brother – Chapter 10: The Immortals
-.-.-
Warnings: Yaoi, robot sex, bondage, a sevensome (not too explicit), language, other I'm probably too lazy to figure out
-.-.-
"Tell me again why you want to have mouths on your hands…" Sasori said, sighing as he created the robot limbs for Deidara. "This is incredibly hard to create you know, especially the tongues."
"I know, but do it." Deidara said, with a smile. "This is what I want."
"This is my wedding gift to you." Sasori grumbled. "The amount of effort I put into this is worth more than any amount of money."
"I still want a honeymoon in the Oasis of Suna and that portrait of Hashirama Senju. Also, our wedding must have a bang. Or two. Or five."
Sasori sighed. It was worth a try. "Fine." It's not like he could deny Deidara anything, besides he wasn't Kakuzu. "Why do you want that portrait anyway? It's not your style."
"I want to destroy it." Deidara said, his face one of pure bliss just thinking about it. "One of the world's most beloved art piece… turned into true art! It'll be beautiful."
Sasori continued working on the limb before him, wondering if maybe he was creating a monster.
-.-.-
"So." Ino began as she sat across from Sai at the park bench, where Sai was drawing something opposite her. "Why are we here?"
"Isn't the park nice?" Sai said, ignoring her question as he painted.
"Yes, yes it is." Ino said, slightly irritated. They had been sitting here for over an hour while Sai sat and drew and Ino sat and did nothing. The one thing she could say, despite her obvious attraction the man, was that he was irritating. Every other thing he did irritated her. So why was she so hopelessly attracted to him? Why did he haunt her every thought?
"Ino." Sai said, without glancing up.
"Yes?" Ino asked eagerly, hoping a conversation was starting.
"I was asking you earlier… About Naruto. Can you tell me about the person he brought with him to play laser tag?"
"Why are you so interested in someone you don't even know?" Ino asked, suddenly serious. She remembered her mission.
"Because he's your friend." Sai said smoothly. "I want to know about your friends."
Ino blushed. Was he being possessive? Did she imagine his over-interest in Naruto? Then she remembered herself once more. "Then why not take an interest in Shikamaru and Choji?"
Sai was cornered. Instead of speaking right away, he continued his drawing, ignoring Ino, was once again, getting irritated. Finally, he spoke. "It's because I feel like I know them so well since you talk about them so much."
Damn, he's good. Ino thought. This was going to be harder then she thought.
"I'm done." Sai said, with a fake smile.
"Oh, can I see?" Ino asked, curious.
"Sure." Sai flipped over his drawing to show a picture of Ino sitting on the park bench.
He's not just good, he's on a whole different level. Ino couldn't help but be taken by the gesture.
-.-.-
Sasuke was drenched in sweat as he backed against the wall, Naruto hovering over him with a smirk. A moment later a gun pointed at him and Naruto shot. "Game. Over. You lose, Teme!"
"Teme?" Kiba asked, "Isn't that what you used to call Sasuke?"
Sasuke and Naruto looked like deer in headlights, as they stood there, sirens and lights blazing all around them in the laser tag arena. Everyone had gotten to the center now, and everyone was exhausted after playing for over four hours nonstop.
"I…" Naruto began.
"Who's Sasuke?" Sasuke asked.
"He was a friend of ours when we were little." Choji looked sad. "He's not with us anymore."
"I'm sorry." Sasuke said, feigning sympathy as he looked down and hoped Naruto wouldn't say anything stupid.
"I guess I just got carried away." Naruto said, his lower lip quivering. "Izuna has been my friend for so long and helped me get over Sasuke's death, maybe I associate the two."
"And yet you never told him about Sasuke?" Kiba asked, remembering how Sasuke had just asked who Sasuke was.
Damn it Kiba, can't you keep your nose in your own damn business? Sasuke mentally threw an unidentified flying object at Kiba.
"I… I couldn't talk about it." Naruto said, freaking out that he was giving away Sasuke's secret.
"Kiba! That's enough." Shikamaru said, picking up on Naruto's unease.
"Let's go get something to eat." Gaara said, putting a hand on Naruto's shoulder for comfort. Naruto turned his head and smiled at Gaara, a thank you smile.
Sasuke watched and his eye twitched as jealousy flew through him at the sight. How dare he touch what's mine?!
-.-.-
Sasuke was pissed off. His impatience grew by the moment ever since that moment between Gaara and Naruto.
Everyone was seated at the pizza joint they had decided to eat at and there were four large pizzas at the center of their large table, with more on the way. Naruto was sitting next to Gaara and the two were chatting casually, while Sasuke and Neji were both watching in disgust, neither aware of the existence of anyone else nearby.
Kiba tried speaking to Izuna once, but gave up when the man glared at him while taking a bite of pizza. Izuna is not the friendliest person ever…Kiba thought, sighing and turning back to his pizza. He then tried to speak to Neji, who glared at him while taking a bite of pizza. Is there something wrong with me? Kiba checked his breath with his hands.
Shikamaru and Choji conversed among themselves, talking about something on Shikamaru's phone.
Sasuke took a sip of his drink and wondered briefly why this interaction between Gaara and Naruto bothered him so much, but was unable to come up with a plausible explanation.
-.-.-
"Kisame." Itachi stood next to the large man before him, as he sat in the Hoshigaki family mausoleum. Kisame didn't respond. Itachi sighed and placed a hand on Kisame's shoulder.
"Kisame, please say something to me." Kisame brushed away Itachi's hand, his eyes devoid of life. Itachi felt the full force of the rejection, guilt eating away at his heart. Itachi's usual composure lost, he balled his hands into fists, his eyes and teeth clenching shut, he swirled around and left.
Kisame did not follow.
-.-.-
"That was fun, wasn't it, Izuna?" Naruto said, nudging Sasuke as he did so.
"Hn."
"Come on, what's gotten into you? Too tired after all that playing?"
"Hn."
"Sas-Izunaaaaaa." Naruto saved, nearly losing it.
"Hn."
"Okay, seriously, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." Sasuke strolled next to Naruto as they approached the Namikaze residence.
"Sure. Sure."
Naruto pulled out his key and unlocked the door, sliding it open.
"Naruto! You're home." Naruto's mother called from inside, her face flushed as she hurried over, clearly trying to get away from something.
"Uh, hi mom." Naruto managed as he was pulled into his mother's embrace.
Sasuke stepped passed the two of them, unable to look at the sight as a dull pain nudged in his heart, his mind filled with the image of his own late mother.
"So this is your son Naruto? He's hot!" A redhead called as Sasuke entered, his eyes widening as he realized who it was. Karin! Sasuke's cheeks turned a faint pink hue for just a moment before he caught himself and regained his composure.
"Stop preying on young men! That's not my son, he's my son's best friend, Izuna." Kushina said, "This is my son, Naruto."
"Naruto!" Karin smiled, her hands clapping together. "It's been so long since I last saw you! You were a baby then, you're so cute now!"
"Uh." Naruto flinched. Family reunions. So embarrassing.
"I'm your aunt Karin."
Kill me now. Naruto thought.
"Ohh so this is the kid?" A man with a shirt that was clearly too tight for him said, approaching Karin and placing his arm around her as he did so.
"Oh, are you my aunt's husband?" Naruto asked, innocently, oblivious to the amusement everyone seemed to get out of that statement.
"No, but I'd like to be." He said, his dark black bangs were in his eyes. How can he see with bangs in his eyes like that? Naruto thought to himself.
"Oh so you're her fiancé?"
"Naruto! It's rude to pry, and you stink. Go take a bath." Kushina cut in.
"Mom!"
"Go."
Naruto huffed, grabbing Sasuke by the arm as he led the way upstairs to clean off all that sweat from laser tag.
Sasuke let himself be led by Naruto, but turned around to look at the man with dark hair, who looked back at Sasuke while licking his lips. Upon eye contact, the man winked and Sasuke blushed, unwelcome images flowing into his mind.
-.-.-
"Did you figure out what he wants with Naruto?" Choji asked Ino as he sat down at their favorite spot in the Nara family woods. Shikamaru was laying in the grass, staring at the clouds above.
"No, he's good at hiding and prying at the same time." Ino said. "He still has an interest. Not only in him, but also that Izuna guy."
"Why Izuna? Do you think there's something we should know about him?" Choji asked.
"All we need to know is that he is Naruto's friend." Shikamaru said. "So we need to protect him too."
"Yeah but what if he's the bad guy here?" Ino asked, "We don't know anything about him."
"He's been friends with Naruto for years." Shikamaru said. Shikamaru didn't voice it out loud, but he firmly believed Izuna was Sasuke. The time interval between Izuna's friendship with Naruto and Sasuke's death was too short. Not to mention the similarities in personality and appearance. In addition, the massacre of the Uchiha clan had so much mystery behind it, it was impossible that a clan so powerful and with such information gathering ability had no way of knowing that something was going to happen. There were other things that came to Shikamaru's mind as well reinforcing this belief. "So long that it couldn't be pretending, it was before Minato became Hokage anyway."
"That's true." Choji admitted.
"Do you really think they'll try to hold Naruto hostage or something?" Ino asked. "I mean, couldn't they have done it already if that was their goal? Why try to get information from us?"
"I don't know…" Shikamaru said with a sigh. "I just have a really bad feeling about things, and according to information from the police force Naruto's entire family is going to be in danger going forward. We all know Sai is one of Danzo's men."
"It's amazing how you figured that out." Choji said, acknowledging his friend's intellect.
"It's too bad… I really like Sai." Ino said, with a sigh.
"Put your feelings aside." Shikamaru said gravely. "Naruto and… Izuna are more important. As their friends it's our job to protect them - and as citizens of Konohagakure it's our job to protect the Hokage."
"You've really grown." Ino commented, proud of her friend.
Shikamaru chose not to answer, closing his eyes and thinking of his late mentor, Asuma, and the future he knew he had to protect. His hand balled into a fist as a rising determination filled him.
-.-.-
Naruto sighed as he entered his bedroom, having brought Sasuke in with him.
"I guess we have to take a bath." Naruto said, shrugging off his shirt and tossing it to the side. Sasuke immediately watched, entranced, his eyes ravishing Naruto's abs. Naruto was an athlete, so of course he had abs. Sasuke did not – he didn't train to the same degree. "Is something wrong?" Naruto asked, noticing Sasuke's look.
"No." Sasuke said, turning around. "Can't you undress in the bathroom? Geez dobe."
Naruto paused, watching his friend for a moment before his face split into a smile. "Sasuke…"
"What?"
"You…"
"What?!" Sasuke was slightly irritated now, his eye twitched.
"Are jealous!"
Huhn? Sasuke couldn't believe Naruto. Seriously? Jealous? What did he have to be jealous about from Naruto? "As if dobe!"
"Heh heh." Naruto had a big grin on his face as he wrapped his arm around Sasuke and pulled him close. "I can see it all over you. You are so jealous. It's okay Sasuke, you don't need abs like mine."
"Go away dobe!" Sasuke pushed Naruto off, somewhat missing the feeling.
"Sasuke~~~"
"What if someone hears you?" Sasuke snapped at Naruto for calling him by his true name, causing Naruto's smile to instantly fade as he realized he'd gone too far. Sasuke also immediately regretted his decision and the both just stood there for a moment.
-.-.-
Hidan sat waiting in the Hoshigaki family waiting room, his feet on the table and book in hand. He was bored. But he had to sit here and wait for Kisame.
Damn that man. Making me sit here and wait after all that shit I did for him. Fuck you, Kisame.
At that moment, the door opened and the maid came in. Hidan turned in her direction, slightly angry. "About damn time-." Hidan stopped short when the man who appeared behind the maid was not Kisame. "Ugh, nevermind."
The man had chocolate brown skin and sea green eyes, the whites of his eyes were not white, but black, and he wore clothing that was oddly suspicious, as if he was hiding something. Kisame invited some shady ass characters to his place.
-.-.-
"I apologize but Hoshigaki-sama will be unable to see you two today, however we have rooms prepared for both of you if you would like to stay the night." A maid said bowing as she spoke to the foul-mouthed white haired man and the mysterious clothed stranger who were at each other's throats and had destroyed several expensive decoration pieces in the Naiad Manor waiting room.
"Where the fuck is that man? I'm going to fucking kill him." Hidan said, throwing his hands into the air and looking around.
"You imbecile, he isn't going to show up just because of your whining."
"You retard, what the fuck do you think you are speaking to me like that?"
"Someone clearly mentally inferior to you."
"You wanna fucking fight, shitface?"
"Bring it on."
"Ah, ahem?" The maid said, fearful, yet knowing she had to fulfil her duties.
"WHAT?" Both men roared at her causing her to jump back in fear.
"I uh... That is… Your rooms?"
"Just get the fuck out." Hidan said, waving his arm in a gesture that said "Fuck off."
"Don't be rude."
"Shut up dickweed."
"What the hell is a dickweed?"
"How the fuck would I know?!"
The maid decided to leave the two and backed away slowly.
-.-.-
Sasuke slipped under the steamy hot water of the bath, his onyx eyes shutting as he thought he would finally get some peace… Involuntarily an image of Naruto filled his mind and he jerked forward, splashing water around.
Why… I knew I liked him, but I didn't know it would be this bad being here in person with him. Sasuke sighed, trying to get the image out of his head.
-.-.-
"Rin, Kyo, Shiro and Yuki are all capable of what you require." Karin said, as she and the four men she mentioned stood behind her in the Namikaze family living room.
"Thank you, Karin." Minato said, thanking his lucky stars he married an assassin with a family of capable, powerful individuals.
"Yuki or Shiro would be best as guards. Rin and Kyo are better at the other thing."
"In that case, Yuki, stay with me and be my guard." Minato said. "Shiro, please guard Kushina and Naruto."
"Understood." Yuki and Shiro said at once.
"Rin, Kyo, I trust you know what to do."
"We do." Rin nodded gravely.
"Let's go get started now." Kyo said. "We need to strike preemptively."
-.-.-
"D-danna?" Deidara asked Sasori who was still working on connecting his new body together.
"Hm?" Sasori responded, clicking something in Deidara's new hand.
"I was wondering…"
"Hm?"
Maybe we should try some BDSM… Deidara blushed, he couldn't bring himself to just say it like that. "Maybe we should try something different in bed…"
Sasori tore his gaze away from his work and stared blankly at Deidara. "Something different?"
"… Never mind." Deidara said, deciding to bring the idea up later.
Sasori turned back to the arm, lost in thought.
-.-.-
Sasuke came out of the bathroom wearing his blue bathrobe, toweling off his porcupine like hair. Naruto was sitting in his own orange bathrobe when Sasuke sat down opposite.
"I'm sorry about earlier, Naruto." Sasuke said. He needed Naruto for what was coming – and he trusted him. It was not the time to be childish.
"I went too far." Naruto conceded.
"No, it was all me."
"It was me."
"Let's not turn this into an argument." Sasuke said, seeing where this was headed. "We need to talk about Danzo."
"Right." Naruto said, getting serious. Sasuke liked the serious Naruto, and it didn't help that his chest was visible beneath that bathrobe. Damn him and his sexy abs. Sasuke thought.
"So far we know he has several captains and is going to be released from jail soon. We need to get rid of him while he's still in – it's the best way since he won't have his guards protecting him, only the jail's security team. Did you research the security team?"
"I did, I know their times and everything." Naruto said, having stolen the information from his father's office.
"Good, then we need to figure out the best way to kill him." Sasuke said.
"Sasuke…"
"Yeah?"
"Do you really plan to kill him? You can't let it go?"
"No." Sasuke said, angry suddenly. "He killed my family, he'll kill me too. Because of him I have to live as Izuna!"
"Sasuke, I have to tell you something." Naruto began.
"What?"
"Well…" Naruto tried to avoid Sasuke's gaze, generating a curiosity within the porcupine. "About my aunt Karin… She is…"
"Seriously, Naruto?" Sasuke asked, his expression contorting strangely. "I thought we were being serious here, why would you bring that up now?"
"Wh-What do you mean?" Naruto asked, looking at Sasuke because of this odd reaction. Does he know already?
"I know already, Naruto!"
"You know she's an assassin like me?" Naruto asked, mouth slightly open in shock. "How?"
"What?" Sasuke's hands hit the table. "Don't mess with me! She's a porn star, and so are all of those men downstairs."
"They're WHAT?" Naruto's hands hit the table and both boys looked at each other in disbelief.
-.-.-
"So… You're an assassin…"
"You've seen my aunt naked."
"I think the assassin thing is a bit more important." Sasuke said blushing, pressing his hand against the table. "Why did you hide it from me all these years?"
"Because I hate being an assassin!" Also, it's not like I've killed anyone yet, I've just been trained. "So you're telling me every single one of Aunt Karin's followers is bisexual?"
"So what! It's still the type of thing you tell your best friend!" Sasuke hoped his voice sounded angry, as he was trying to avoid the second topic Naruto brought up.
"So does that mean you're gay or bisexual? Don't you think that's also the type of thing you tell your best friend?" Naruto accused, crossing his arms.
"It's something that is understandable! A lot of people stay in the closet!" Sasuke said exasperated. "Lying about your profession and ability to slice someone's throat before they can say 'hello' is not."
"You're being hypocritical."
"So are you!"
"Okay, so we both lied to each other. Let's promise not to do that and move on."
"Like hell!" Sasuke said, slamming the palm of his hand down.
"Sasuke, you're just embarrassed."
"Shut up dobe!" Sasuke didn't want to admit that Naruto was right.
"Fine, we can talk about this when you're done sulking." Naruto got up and left.
Since when did he become the calm, composed one? Sasuke wondered as he was left there, feeling like a child. Is that some assassin technique? Shit.
-.-.-.-.-.-
Day 2 in the Naiad Manor Waiting Room
-.-.-.-.-.-
A maid entered with tea.
"The fuck? Why the hell are you still here?" Hidan flipped a table over at the man he now knew as Kakuzu.
"I'm here for the same reason as you." Kakuzu said calmly, while throwing a vase at Hidan.
Hidan ran forward to punch Kakuzu, who blocked and flipped the white haired man over.
The maid left with the tea.
-.-.-.-.-.-
Day 3 in the Naiad Manor Waiting Room
-.-.-.-.-.-
A maid entered with tea.
"JASHIN DAMN IT I HATE YOU SO MUCH!" Hidan brought his scythe and came prepared for war, paint all over him as he attacked the doctor, who casually jumped out of the way of every attack, not even bothered by it.
The maid left with the tea.
-.-.-.-.-.-
Day 4 in the Naiad Manor Waiting Room
-.-.-.-.-.-
A maid entered with a tranquilizer and a tray of cookies.
"What will it take to shut you up?" Kakuzu asked, exasperated.
"Your fucking death!" Hidan roared.
Kakuzu sighed, grabbed Hidan, and pulled him in for a kiss.
The maid left with the tranquilizer and the tray of cookies.
-.-.-
Four days had passed and Kisame hadn't spoken a word to Itachi. Itachi had tried his best to be supportive but was pushed away or ignored at every turn. Today, Umi's husband Darui was supposed to arrive.
Itachi's own guilt was eating him up inside. Have I lost Kisame forever? Itachi wondered, hugging his knees in his shared bedroom with Kisame. Kisame hadn't come to his room in days. He just sat in the catacombs all day.
Itachi was interrupted from his thoughts when Kisame entered, looking disheveled. He turned towards Itachi and his eyes never lost their dead stare.
I did that to him. Itachi felt like he was being torn apart from inside. What had he done?
"Help me forget this pain." Kisame whispered, pushing Itachi down against the bed and hovering over him, his hands ready to tear off Itachi's shirt.
"Kisame, I have to tell you something."
"What?" Kisame asked, instead of pushing for sex. It was obvious his interest was minimal, his voice was monotone and his eyes… Those eyes would haunt Itachi forever.
"I killed your sister."
-.-.-
Deidara swung around as a robot, enjoying the feeling of mouths on his new robotic hands – this felt better than he had ever imagined.
"You know, this doesn't feel so bad. I still feel things. I thought as a robot I would lose that ability, yeah."
"You can shut it off." Sasori said. "You can shut off anything, though I've programmed it so you can't just yet on your own. I'll show you how to properly handle being a robot over time." The two were in Sasori's workshop.
"Fine, fine." Deidara said, distracted by his hands.
Sasori smiled again, causing Deidara's face to grimace.
"Your smile scares me, yeah."
"Why's that?"
"Because you don't smile, yeah."
"I just did."
Deidara shook his head. "Can we get rid of Deidara-bot now? I mean, I'm even a robot now, yeah."
"Jealous?"
"Yeah! And we are getting married!" Deidara said angrily.
Sasori sighed. "Fine, I'll consider it."
"Consider?!"
"Yes. Consider."
"Ughh." Deidara said, his eyes rolling.
"How are the feelings on your hands?" Sasori asked.
"They're good. We should have sex like this, yeah." No sooner had those words left Deidara's lips had Sasori taken Deidara's hand and began to kiss it, making out with the mouth on it, causing Deidara to gasp and jump back, blushing. The sensation of the kiss sent shockwaves through his palm and through his body, feeling surprisingly good. Deidara shivered and stuttered out.
"D-danna."
"Deidara…" Sasori said the blonde's name quietly, barely above a whisper as he glanced up from Deidara's hand and into his eyes.
"Y-yeah?"
"I have a surprise for you…"
Deidara groaned. He hated Sasori's surprises. They were always weird.
"You'll like this one." Sasori almost sounded offended.
Deidara groaned again, tilting his head down. If Sasori thought he was going to like this one, he was going to hate it. It was probably sexual too.
Sasori sighed. "I'll just show you." With that he moved his hand up and his fingers seemed to light up for a moment.
"You wanted to show me glowing lights?" Deidara asked.
"He wanted to show you me." Kisame's voice came as he appeared behind Deidara, wearing a simple bathrobe.
"K-Kisame?!" Deidara asked, jumping back. Then he narrowed his eyes as he noticed that Kisame's eyes were blinking unnaturally. "You're not Kisame… You're a robot!"
"That's right." Yahiko's voice could be heard approaching. Yahiko also wore nothing but a bathrobe. "Yahiko too?!" This Yahiko did not breathe like the real one did – it was unnaturally still, like Sasori.
One by one all of the old friends showed up. Kisame, Yahiko, Konan, Nagato and Kakuzu. All of them wore bathrobes.
"You made robots out of all of our friends?!" Deidara wasn't sure yet what he thought of this. "Why, and why are they all wearing bathrobes, yeah?"
"So we can do this." Kisame took off his bathrobe, revealing his large, muscular body. Being robots, Sasori didn't bother adding hair – there was none except on the head and eyebrows.
"T-this is your surprise, Sasori, danna?" Deidara asked, averting his gaze from his naked friend. "We-we can't do this, I won't be able to look at my friends the same way again, yeah!"
"But you want to do this…" Konan approached, her bathrobe on the floor. Her long, slender arms reached around Deidara making him jump.
"K-Konan!" Deidara blushed.
"Deidara… You did you wanted to try something different." Sasori purred, enjoying the sight of Deidara embarrassed.
"Yeah, but I didn't mean like this, yeah!"
"Don't worry, you'll like it." Yahiko licked Deidara's hand and Deidara shuddered at the sensation. He didn't want to admit it, but it felt good, especially now that his nerves were on hyper drive around his hands. Yahiko slowly kissed Deidara's hand all around, avoiding the mouth on Deidara's palm until he had explored all around it first. Yahiko's flingers ghosted over Deidara's arm, forcing Deidara to feel sensations he didn't know were possible just were a single arm alone – it was definitely due to his new body, he now had new erogenous zones.
Deidara moaned, biting his lip and trying to stay focused. Nagato took Deidara's other hand and began to mimic Yahiko's movements and Deidara tried to take a step back, but found he couldn't. Kisame was behind him, his tall, rough body acting as a wall. His backwards movement caused Deidara to brush against Kisame's rock solid body and his ass came in brief contact with Kisame's large member.
Deidara snapped back to reality for a brief moment and yelled out. "I MEANT BDSM DANNA, NOT AN ORGY WITH MY FRIENDS."
"You wanted to try BDSM?" Sasori asked, surprised, he was now sitting on his workshop table, having cleared the area. His clothes had come off and he was watching Deidara get pleasured, a smile on his lips as his hand was caressing his shaft.
"Y-y-unnnnn." Deidara lost himself as Konan ran her hands over Deidara's chest, along with the dual feelings of making out with both Nagato and Yahiko at the same time. Konan lifted Deidara's shirt and licked his nipples, nibbling one and pinching the other gently with her fingers.
"We can do that too… And so much more…" Sasori said, squeezing his own member as he tried to maintain control. He wanted nothing more than to bend Deidara over and bury himself inside of the blonde, but he knew he had to wait. He needed control.
Deidara's eyes rolled back as Konan began licking downwards, sliding off Deidara's pants as she did so. At the same moment, Kisame's hardness grinded against Deidara's ass and he moaned out in pleasure.
-.-.-
"You did what?" Kisame asked, staring at Itachi, his face blank. He wasn't able to feel emotions anymore – he hadn't since Umi had died. "Itachi, I'm not in the mood for jokes."
"Kisame…" Itachi couldn't look Kisame directly in the eyes, his fingers trembled nervously and he clenched them together to remain calm. "I'm not joking. I told Umi to go kill herself."
In their entire time together, Itachi had never known Kisame to be violent. That's why he wasn't expecting it at all when Kisame's fist made contact with his face and Itachi fell back from the shock onto the bed.
Kisame instantly regretted his loss of control, but that regret was combined with anger. His voice was as controlled as it could be, ridden with hidden emotion when he said "Itachi, I'm sorry I just hit you, but I really am not in the mood for jokes." Kisame got up to leave, not wanting to deal with this right now.
"She killed my family." Itachi's voice cracked.
Kisame stopped, his back was turned to Itachi and he was heading to the door. He just stopped, not moving, not turning around, his ears perked slightly as he heard Itachi – a man he had never seen cry, cry.
"She killed my family Kisame… She forced me to get attacked that day that she saved me… She knew I wouldn't say no to her offer for the sake of my little brother… She tried to manipulate me and because of her I lost everything – Sasuke lost everything… I never blamed you, I blamed her." Itachi clutched his chest as he said this, his eyes shutting with emotion and his teeth clenched with the image of his parents in his mind. "She picked me because I was easy to manipulate, easy to use."
Kisame left the room.
Itachi cried himself to sleep, hiding under the covers, breaking down for the first time in his life.
-.-.-
