Itachi watched as Izumi smacked Shisui on the head. "You only brought coffee for you."

"The point is I brought it," he replied nonchalantly taking a small sip from his cup. "And it is delicious. So, where is our mermaid?"

Ignoring Shisui's question, Sasuke turned on Itachi, "you told them!?" The frustration was palpable

"I keep nothing from Izumi," Sasuke noted the defensive tone in his voice but did not feel guilty at the accusatory tone he had taken with his brother. "And Izumi doesn't drive, plus we need Shisui."

"He didn't even bring us coffee." Sasuke countered.

"You did not ask for coffee, plus I'm broke. Izumi paid for mine." Shisui shrugged his shoulders, "I felt bad getting more."

"That's not fair, I told you to get them some too," Izumi was quick to defend.

"I told you it was going to be cold by the time we got here."

"We got them ten minutes ago!"

"And my coffee is cold."

"You got iced coffee like some weirdo!"

Sasuke blocked out the rest of their argument, wondering how Naruto could sleep through all this. He liked Shisui enough, and Izumi as well, but somehow whenever it involved them both it always went something like this. "Why do we even need Shisui?" He finally asked.

"My lil cousin, my baby cousin!" Shisui cried dramatically hand to his chest. "We need to get rid of all video evidence of the naked girl in your room before Friday."

"Why?" Sasuke pushed down the building dread.

"Mother is planning a surprise birthday party, they get here Friday and the party is on Saturday." Itachi explained.

"Why didn't you stop her!?"

"Itachi, Sasuke has like one friend you are really going to let your mother embarrass him like that?"

Ignoring Shisui Itachi continued, "Shisui and Izumi have already been great help. I did not gather all that information by myself."

"I don't want to toot my own horn," added Shisui, "but I will." They all groaned awaiting a grand proclamation. "Excuse me?" He said in response, "so damn rude. As I was saying, no one knows their way around a computer like me." Sasuke wanted to smack the smug smirk of Shisui's face, but he could not deny the truth of his words. "And we know papa Fugaku will go to the computers to check on what you and sleeping beauty over there were up to and neither you nor Itachi have the skills to fool him."

"And," Izumi added, "It makes sense to bring me in since it has been how long and instead of dressing her you guys just put a blanket on her?" There was so much in disbelief in her voice that even Itachi looked like he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

"It's not their fault Izumi, Sasuke and Naruto are idiots. And well you have kept Itachi too pure for his own good. Don't you think its time to pop his cherry?"

"Shisui!" Both Izumi and Itachi scolded, neither able to look at the other.

Sasuke was done, he was bone weary exhausted. His soul had long since left his body, he was positive this was hell. "Can we please focus?" I beg of you, he wanted to add.

"Little Sasuke is right," Shisui added sipping from his coffee, "papa Fugaku is going to have top dollar security and I need time since I can't just delete the footage, papa ain't no fool." Sasuke wanted to warn Shisui to stop referring to his father as papa, but he also wanted to see the fallout too badly to warn him. "And he is starting to recognize my handiwork, so I have to be extra careful."

His father liked Shisui, thought of him as an asset in the company, but thought him a fool outside of it. It was quite entertaining if Sasuke was honest, especially when his father got truly pissed off, "he is a disrespectful buffoon, I do not want him in this house!" His father had raged more than once, and more than once a proper ban had been placed. The first ban had been short lived, his father's computer has suspiciously caught a virus around that time. It took three days for the ban to be lifted. Every time Shisui was banned his father's home computer ended up having problems that conveniently enough only Shisui could fix.

No one took it seriously, since if his father truly hated Shisui he would have fired him long ago. Instead it was well known, though unacknowledged, that his father was just trying to find a method to keep Shisui out. It was a challenge that Uchiha Fugaku seemed to have gladly taken on. Though he was always on the losing side the length of the bans had since increased from three days, to ten.

"Shisui go do what you have to do," Shisui left but not before mentioning how pissed Fugaku would be if he ever found out Shisui even sat on his office chair. "Izumi will go dress the girl, Sasuke wake up Naruto and go buy us coffee, none for Shisui. Once you are back, we will have a meeting to see what we do next."

Sasuke wanted to complain about going on a coffee run, but he did not have it in him to argue. It was not like he was about dress the girl, or had the patience for Shisui. But he still couldn't help but complain about one thing, "you know what a pain it is to wake the idiot up?" Itachi simply shrugged his shoulders, uncaring of the dilemma.

A/N: yeah a whole lot of nothing happened but I thought it was important to show the dynamic I am going for there will be more Itachi and Izumi down the line in the story but for now the priority is wtf are they going to do. I thought it would be fun if Izumi and Shisui just accepted there was a mermaid, like no questions asked, basically it would have gone something like:

"So, a mermaid?"

"Yup."

"That's pretty fucking amazing."

"Do you think we should collect her DNA?"

"Izumi, love where your mind is, but no."
