Yo!
Just letting you know that channeling my inner guy has not gotten me a job yet. But that is good for you guys because that means you'll get another chapter (yay!)
Also, if you guys read my other stuff, i normally ship KakaSaku hard core. So I had to slip a little bit in here somewhere.
So I hope you like this chapter!
Itachi was sitting in the guest's chair in Sakura's hospital room. It was him, Sakura and Kakashi and him were the only ones in the room. He didn't know how Kakashi found out about this, but He was there not long after Itachi arrived. If it wasn't for Sarada coming straight to him after finding her mother on the kitchen floor. Itachi was the one who brought Sakura in to be seen.
Thankfully, both Tsunade and Shizune took an interest in this. Tsunade had told both Itachi and Kakashi that she was in a deep genjutsu and that only one of three people could get her out of it. Unfortunately for Sakura, she would have been one of them. So Tsunade decided to let it run its course. The ex Hokage didn't know how long it would take, but she hoped that it would be sooner rather than later.
Kakashi was looking out the window of the hospital room. He looked like he had a lot on his mind. They were quiet for a few moments before Kakashi finally spoke up.
"I'm going to ask you a serious question, and I don't want you to attack me because of it." Kakashi said, his eyes still out of the window. Itachi nodded his head, letting Kakashi know that he could continue.
"Could Sasuke have done this? Does Sakura know something about Sasuke that would make him angry enough to do this? Because if it's a genjutsu that even Tsunade couldn't get her out of, then I can only think it was either you or Sasuke to do this. Of course you wouldn't have done this, but Sasuke… He's done it before."
Itachi took a deep breath. He didn't want to think that Sasuke did this. The idea that Sasuke would go after Sakura for telling him that kind of secret was a little too much. But Kakashi is right, Sasuke had done this before.
"If I tell you something, it doesn't leave the room."
Kakashi looked up to the Uchiha. He was interested in what Itachi could say.
"Naruto and Sasuke had a… secret relationship of sorts. Sakura had told me a couple of days ago and I confronted Sasuke to know what was going on. I don't want to think that Sasuke had done this–" He motioned towards Sakura and all the beeping machines around her.
"But if it's a strong enough genjutsu, then you're right. It would either be me or Sasuke. I have an alibi and my father can vouch for me. We will have to bring Sasuke in. But please. The affair isn't common knowledge. We would like to keep it on the downlow. "
Itachi looked over Kakashi's face. His expression didn't change.
"I already knew this," Kakashi sighed, his eyes going back to looking out of the window.
"Naruto had asked me about it. He was thinking that he was doing the wrong thing and wanted to know my opinion on the affair. I guessI would have a hand in this debacle because I told Naruto that if he wanted to have an open marriage then he needed to talk to all the parties involved. He came to me a week later saying that it was the best decision he's ever had. Though I had an… ulterior motive of sorts."
Itachi was confused. What stake would Kakashi have in all of this? Besides the fact that one of his students was murdered, the second was currently in the hospital while the third could be the reason for the both.
"Kakashi-Sama. Do I have to bring you in for questioning?" Itachi asked, making Kakashi laugh.
"If you need to, then I do not mind. But, it might be a good idea to say it now while it's in confidence."
Itachi nodded his head, telling Kakashi to keep going.
"While Sasuke and Naruto were having their affair, I might have been with Sakura."
"...might have been?" Itachi said, his face calm but internally, he felt a little bit of anger. Of course, he and Sakura were only friends, but the idea that she had been with Kakashi was a little too much. The thought that Kakashi could have taken advantage of Sakura made him angry.
Kakashi put a hand up.
"Maa, Itachi-Kun. It was her idea and I didn't groom her or anything. She and I had gone out for lunch one day and we talked about it. It was all her idea." He concluded.
Itachi calmed down. It was hard to know that this had deeper roots than he thought, but this love affair put Team Seven in a different light.
"It wasn't often. It was mainly to comfort Sakura. She didn't like the idea that Naruto and Sasuke were hooking up while she was home alone taking care of Sarada. I think it weighed a heavy toll on Hinata though. If I were you, I would look more into this whole fling we all had rather than focus too much on the wrong person."
Itachi took Kakashi's advice to heart. He looked Sakura over, her chest moving up and down. He couldn't imagine the hurt she probably went through concerning all of this. But after listening to it all, he and Kakashi had came to the same conclusion; Sasuke was a suspect. For both the murder of Naruto and his family, and the attack on Sakura.
"Let me talk to my father. We can get a warrant for Sasuke's arrest and bring him in. For now, keep that information to yourself. As well, we should put a detailed guard on you. If Sasuke is capable of putting Sakur under a genjutsu and killing Naruto, and with what you have told me, it can't be too much of a jump that you're next. Is there anything else that we should look into?"
Kakashi waved it off. He didn't want to bug Itachi more than he already had.
"If you feel like you need guards on me, then I'll pull from ANBU. You need to worry about possibly fighting your younger brother to arrest him." Kakashi said.
"As well, I'll look after Sarada. A lot has happened to her, and keeping her around Sasuke isn't a good idea right now."
Itachi nodded. He was going to take up watching after Sarada, but it was a good idea that she was under some sort of protection as well.
"Thank you. You might get summoned and will have to tell your side of the story a few more times, but we will keep this under wraps as much as we can, including your relationship with Sakura. Will you be here any longer?"
Kakashi nodded his head.
"Of course. I'll be here when she wakes up."
Itachi thanked Kakashi, turning around to leave. The idea that he had to get a warrant for Sasuke's arrest was killing him on the inside.
Thanks for reading!
Kudos would be nice
