For My Little Brother – Chapter 2: The Cold Shark & A Ghostly Reunion
-.-.-
Sasuke stared at the blank screen in front of him; his eyes lost in thought. He was not used to writing e-mails and wasn't sure what he should say. Yet he knew for his own sanity, he needed to e-mail his friend.

-four pictures attached-
Heya Dobe. Just thought I should let you know I'm okay, since you are probably drowning yourself in ramen, worrying. I bet you even started carrying that stupid picture around everywhere. I'm in a pretty nice place, and for some reason, my brother is a butler. I even saw some cool swords. I sent you pictures.
-Sasuke
P.S. What's your cell phone number? Do you have one? Go get one if you don't.
…-…
Sasuke finished typing and hit send; wondering whether he said too much. Maybe he should've just sent an email that said "hi." No, that would've been creepy. Or maybe it would've been perfect.
-.-.-
Itachi waited until Umi left before his face become emotionless once more; afraid to show his true emotions, even in the confines of his room. Itachi did search the room for cameras or bugs, but who knows? He didn't trust this place. He hoped he gave off an innocent, weak, and trusting impression to everyone. It was true. This was a great opportunity, and he was grateful for it. He would even pay them back but with the same money they gave him, not with friendship or love.
To that end, Itachi was researching the Hoshigaki family, and looking into corporate law. He had no intention of staying here as, shuddering at the thought of what he became, Hoshigaki-sama's whore. It's true that the shark-like man was somewhat– okay very – attractive, but who knows what lay beyond his monstrous features. Maybe it was a real monster. Itachi knew from all the criminals he had come know, mainly through a screen as he worked in the background at the police force, that you should never judge by appearance alone. He had mixed feelings about this man. The truth is you can never really tell what type of person someone was from a single meeting. What seems like a completely normal, kind person can wake up one day and slaughter his entire family.
No, Itachi had no intention of trusting anyone in the Hoshigaki family. Though he fully intended to gain their trust, and use it to his advantage. They had so easily given him all the resources he needed to get on his feet via other means. All he had to do now was create new identities for himself and Sasuke…. Itach's thoughts were interrupted when he heard his little brother stepping into his room.
"Nii-san, you won't believe what I found!" Sasuke said excitedly, as he walked right in. The door between their rooms was open, signaling that it was okay to enter.
"What did you find Sasuke?" Itachi asked. He was busy, but he was also worried about how his little brother was coping with the death of their parents. He needed to be there for Sasuke more than ever.
"I found a hidden room in the library. Or I think it's a hidden room. If you look closely, you can see that the wall could be moveable; I don't know how to open it if it is, though."
"Why don't you ask the maids?" Itachi asked, equally intrigued. Surely a castle such as this had hidden rooms? Even if the one Sasuke found wasn't it.
"If it's a secret they wouldn't know! I'll figure it out myself."
"Good point."
"Nii-san, come explore with me." Sasuke had the same joyous expression he held before their family died. How could Itachi say no?
"Sure."
-.-.-
The two brothers made their way outside and explored the grounds. Far enough behind the castle, there were woodlands and rows upon rows of gardens.
"Nii-san, do you think there could be a place for archery here too?" Sasuke asked. "I noticed there was an armory and they had lots of interesting weapons there."
"Really? What kind of weapons?" Itachi asked, having never really bothered to explore the place.
"Well it was mostly swords.…" Sasuke began. "But they had bows, axes, and other things too. There was even an entire room dedicated to guns."
"Sounds scary." Itachi briefly wondered how safe they were and what they could do if someone decided to use the weapons just casually lying around where even a seven year old could see them.
"Not really, they were all in locked containers. But I feel like they weren't just there for decoration, some of them were clearly missing, as if someone was using them."
"Hoshigaki-sama did mention that his family is descended from swordsmen. It's possible that they still practice swordsmanship." Itachi said.
"Hoshigaki-sama?"
"He's Umi's brother, and also our employer."
"So how come it's not Umi-sama?"
"She said to just call her by her name."
"Do you think we could learn to use swords too?" Sasuke asked, excited. "I want to learn."
"I'm sure you can. Let's ask Lorena, who we can go to about that."
"You won't learn too?" Sasuke pouted.
"Fighting just isn't for me." Itachi said with a smile. "I prefer just reading or something like that." Though maybe I should exercise to some degree, having a nicer body would only benefit me considering my job.
"Fine." Sasuke sat down on the stone circling a fountain; his face suddenly full of sorrow. "I like this place."
Itachi's heart clenched as he watched his brother sigh, creating ripples in the water. By saying he liked this place, he was implying that he missed home. The place he would be at, if he wasn't here. He was saying it in a way so Itachi would not feel bad. It wasn't Sasuke's job to take care of Itachi; it was the other way around. And yet, here he was trying to look happy for Itachi's sake. Itachi sat down next to his brother and hugged him, thinking about what the future could hold.
-.-.-
Naruto stared blankly at the screen in front of him. What. The. Heck. Sasuke was dead. So how on earth did Sasuke e-mail him? More importantly, how did he know about the picture? Quickly Naruto began typing back, not even stopping to think until after he had already sent it; impulsive as always.
…-…
To: Sasuke Uchiha
From: Naruto Namikaze
What the fuck, Sasuke. How the hell are you e-mailing me when you're dead? Are you in heaven? In heaven, do you create your own worlds? Is that why your brother is the butler now? For god's sake, I knew you had an inferiority complex but seriously….
Hey, can you see the future? Can you see what I'm doing? You aren't watching everything I do, are you? Stalker. How else would you know about the damn picture? Which in case you can't see what I'm doing, I absolutely am not carrying around.
Heaven is really pretty. Send more pictures so I can tell everyone I have seen the afterlife, and even have pics. I wonder if I can sell them? Can you send me the emails of other people in the afterlife too? I'd love to talk to the first and second hokages! Maybe I can even get my own TV show about communicating with the dead via e-mail. This is awesome. Also, those are some pretty neat swords, but who uses those anymore? Are they from like 500 years ago or something?
Also, don't order me around! Teme! But fine, I'll go get a phone.
-Naruto
P.S. Do dead dinosaurs show up in heaven? Have you met a dinosaur yet? Can they talk?
P.P.S. How did you not end up in hell? Did you lie to the gatekeepers? Did they get something mixed up? Maybe you should double check that you're in the right place.
…-…
After Naruto finished his e-mail, he headed straight to the smartest person he knew. Shikamaru. If anyone knew how to deal with the dead, it had to be him.
-.-.-
Kisame Hoshigaki sighed and rubbed his eyes with his large fingers. He was getting too old for this, and he wasn't even that old. Around him, a team of executives were talking amongst themselves. Recently their head lawyer committed suicide, and was involved in some disturbing practices within the company. The recent lawsuit against the company, along with the death of one of its most important figures was disasterous. All the executives were clueless on how to handle the situation. Not a single one was fit to take over as CEO, when he steps down; which he honestly wanted to do right now.
"Meeting adjourned. I have better things to do." Kisame finally announced, annoyed. Recently, everything annoyed him. He was more or less fed up with people in particular and the world in general- the lies, deceit, everything. It was like he didn't belong in this world. The most free he felt was when he took his great sword, Samehada, and trained with his sister or even Darui. He left the meeting hall and took the private elevator up to his floor. Taking out his phone, Kisame texted his old friend, Yahiko as he sat in his cushy leather chair.
Kisame: Yahiko, I need a new head lawyer to deal with this lawsuit crap. While you're at it, could you find someone besides Hidan? He doesn't know what the hell he's doing! Why did you suggest him again?
Shutting his phone down, Kisame turned his attention to his computer screen, where he noticed he had a new e-mail.
Konan sure works fast. Kisame thought as he opened his e-mail with the subject line "Uchiha Itachi." Konan was one of the best private detectives in the country. Along with Yahiko and Nagato, they could find and do just about anything. Kisame personally sent them on some crazy expeditions.

To: Kisame Hoshigaki
From: Konan Tenshi
-6 attachments included-
Kisame,
This kid is really something else. He's some kind of genius from a family of geniuses. His family traditionally led the police force in Konohakagure, but just a few weeks ago the entire family was murdered. It is believed, he died as well.
Short version: He's a kid who finished high school at the age of 7, and completed his law degree by 10. He's a certified lawyer. After doing some digging, I can definitely say he was tied to some serious criminal cases for the Police. He was working for the force, even though the information was very well hidden.
Too bad he's dead, he could've been something amazing.
-Konan
…-…
Kisame stared at the screen in shock. Unbelieving, he opened the attachments. Sure enough, Itachi's face showed up on his government ID. There weren't a lot of things that shocked Kisame Hoshigaki. Yet as he stared at the screen, his mouth slightly agape, and his fingers mindlessly moving on their own to flip through the attachments; he wondered how many more lies the world had to uncover. Nothing was as it seemed. And here, Kisame Hoshigaki, honestly thought nothing could faze him.
-.-.-
Meanwhile back at the Hoshigaki mansion, there was a kid who was in the same position as Kisame Hoshigaki. Sasuke stared mouth slightly agape at the computer screen, thinking he could no longer be shocked by Naruto's stupidity. And yet… he could play this a while longer. Quickly regaining his composure, Sasuke smirked and began typing.

From: Sasuke Uchiha
Dobe, heaven is amazing. What do you mean I don't belong here? Jealous? Not sure you can make it? Too bad.
I can't see the future, but I can see you. And yes, I'm watching you. Always. Nothing you do goes without me knowing so don't do anything too stupid. Just know, I know what you're doing, and yes, I am judging you.
I might give you the hokage's e-mails. You know they're pretty good friends with me now. But what will I get in return? Nothing's free, Naruto!
When you get your phone text me at (xxx)xxx-xxxx. I'll tell you about which one of your friends is actually a robot, if you throw a pie at Iruka-sensai. Send a picture of it happening, if you want the info.
-Sasuke
P.S. There are dinosaurs in heaven and it's awesome. I rode a T-rex with Hashirama and we went to the Festival of Foxes. Heh, you should've been there.
P.P.S. Don't get any funny ideas about coming to heaven! Suicide won't get you here. Don't do it.
P.P.P.S. Don't tell anyone you can talk to the dead via e-mail. What if they think you're some freak and take you to some secret governmental place thing with those men in black suits who do weird experiments on you. IDK you saw the movies. You get the idea, keep this a secret.
…-…
Satisfied, Sasuke hit send and wondered how long it'll take for Naruto to catch on. Some part of him was worried. It never occurred to him that everyone would think he was dead. They probably thought Itachi was dead too. It was a secret ; something he realized only now. The fact that they didn't go back to Konoha; it wasn't safe. But Sasuke knew he could trust Naruto. He wouldn't tell anyone, right?
-.-.-
Kisame: Who the hell did you hire?!
Umi: What are you talking about Kisame?
Kisame: I'm talking about Itach!
Umi: What do you mean who? He's Itachi. You already know that.
Kisame: He's also supposed to be dead. And he's a cop.
Umi: What?
Kisame: What the hell do the cops want from us?
Umi: I'm sorry I had no idea, but seriously, he's a cop? I thought he was just a kid!
Kisame: If you thought he was a kid, why the hell did you bring him to me to fuck?
Umi: …
Kisame: Whatever, I'll deal with it.
Umi: What do you mean "deal with it?"
-.-.-
At around 6:30 pm, Itachi once again prepared himself to meet Kisame. He quickly checked his clothes. He was wearing an extremely ornate yellow and black kimono with flame like designs. Underneath, he wore nothing. He vaguely wondered if Kisame had a thing for kimonos. Probably, otherwise no one would place them in Itachi's closet just before he visited Kisame. Once again, he wore his hair back in a pony-tail. He wouldn't admit it, but secretly it was because he liked it when Kisame gently tugged at his hair to remove the band.
Itachi nervously made his way through the fancy hallways of Naiad Manor until he reached room 12. Sighing to compose himself, he turned the doorknob and entered.
Itachi was expecting a lot of things, but the sight that greeted him was not one of them. Kisame sat in the window alcove. The sun shining behind him illuminated his Greek God-like body and the sweat on his dark skin. He sat with one foot on the alcove and the other stretched in front of him. Kisame was not wearing a suit like yesterday; no, he was wearing a plain white undershirt, with no sleeves, and sweats. It was obvious he had been working out. Casually located in Kisame's arms and leaning down all the way to the ground was a … thing covered in blue-black scales and a handle with a skull on it. It might have been a sword, but it was like no sword Itachi had ever seen before. Kisame's hand was placed gently on the scales, but his piercing, cold, calculating eyes bore into Itachi's own. Itachi couldn't imagine a more beautiful sight than the one before him now. Itachi was left speechless as the two men stared at each other for a few minutes.
Eventually, it was Kisame who broke the silence. "What do you want from me?"
Itachi paused, wondering how to answer this question. He couldn't say he wasn't sure, because he was. He couldn't make up a lie either. He had been warned about that. Should he risk it? Or deflect with a question? Itachi decided on the later.
"What do you mean by that?"
"What do you think I mean? It's a pretty straight forward question. What. Do. You. Want. From. Me?
"What makes you think I want anything?"
"Well for starters, you wouldn't even be here, if you didn't have some incentive. I know money is one, but I get the feeling that's not what you really want."
There was a silence during which Itachi looked into Kisame's cold eyes for some emotion – something. What he found was nothing. It was like looking into a dark tunnel or a black hole. Nothingness.
"You would be correct." Itachi finally managed, not even trying to be sexy. Kisame had caught him completely off guard, and he had the feeling faking it would only make things worse. Something had set Kisame off. What could it be? Vaguely Itachi remembered telling the powerful man his name, perhaps he found out the truth?
"What is it you want?"
"Is this because you hired a private detective to look into my history?" Itachi ventured.
"…" There was no response, but Kisame raised an eyebrow. The edge of his lips twitched.
"I'm assuming you did. I'm assuming that you now know about my entire family being murdered recently. I wanted to keep my identity a secret, because I believe my little brother and I are in danger. However, I did not want to lie to you." Itachi began, choosing his words carefully. "As for why I'm here specifically, your sister hired me. As I'm sure you know already."
"So you wanted safety and this is nothing but a job to you?"
Itachi paused again, wondering what Kisame wanted to hear. Then again, it's not like he should respond with what the man wanted to hear. That would only make things worse, if Umi's words were to be trusted.
"You are correct. I wanted safety however I wanted that safety more for my brother than for myself. As for this being nothing more then a job, I suppose it is; though saying it that way does put a bad taste in my mouth."
"You're a cop."
"Not anymore."
"That is really your entire purpose here? You're not here on some undercover mission, or investigating me are you?"
Itachi was a little surprised by this. "You are well informed. You have good private detectives; not many were aware I was actively involved with the police force. However, I am no longer involved with them. It would be dangerous."
Kisame closed his eyes and signed, letting the thing in his arms lean against the window. He ran his fingers through his hair, looking exhausted. Itachi inhaled deeply as he watched Kisame's sweat run down his herculean muscles. Closing his eyes, Itachi remembered his own fingers running through Kisame's hair the night before, and missed the sensation. When he opened his eyes again, Kisame's eyes were staring back into his with a returning light. They were no longer bottomless or empty.
Am I supposed to be seducing him, or he me? Itachi wondered as a shiver ran down his spine.
"How old is your brother? Where is he now? Is he safe?" Kisame asked.
"He's seven, and yes he's safe. He's here."
"Here?"
"Yes, he lives here. So do I. At least right now we do, unless you plan to fire us."
"You live here?" Kisame looked a bit surprised. "Umi had you actually move in?"
"She thought it would be best."
"It is safer here. I was going to suggest you move in, but I see you already have." Kisame looked agitated. "Tell me about why you think you're in danger."
"You're upset." Itachi said, moving closer to Kisame. Standing around was getting a bit tiring.
"Look, you don't have to do… this. You're a kid, I don't expect this. I don't know why Umi even thought it was a good idea."
"I'm not doing anything." Itachi said, standing dangerously close to Kisame. He actually was doing something, but he wanted to feel the same warmth from the day before. Couldn't he get some stress relief out of this? This whole affair was taking its toll on Itachi, and he wanted nothing more then to let it out. It didn't have to be through sex, but even just the cuddling, talking, and bliss of being in another state like the night before was enough.
"Don't lie to me." Kisame said. His eyes filled with lust as Itachi drew closer.
"Okay, I might be doing something. But whatever I am doing, I am doing it because I want to."
"Well I don't."
"Then stop me." Itachi said, sitting down in Kisame's lap; his heart beating incredibly fast. When did he become so brave? "We can talk business later. Tell me why you're upset first."
"Stress. Now let's talk business, it's later."
"You're not very good at this." Itachi said with a smirk, placing his hand on Kisame's chest. He leaned into Kisame's neck and closed his eyes, inhaling Kisame's husky scent.
"Get off of me."
"Let me stay like this, please."
Kisame didn't respond, and the two sat there in silence; hearts pounding, for what seemed like an eternity.
"What do you want from me?" Kisame whispered softly.
"I thought we went through this already." Itachi answered, eyes still closed.
"Yes, but why are you still doing this?"
"Because it's an escape; For you, and me as well."
"So you actually want this?"
"Depends what it is." Itachi answered.
"Elaborate."
"I like what we're doing now. Something more, I'm not sure I want to do just yet. But I still would, I mean technically you are paying me for this."
"I can find you a job more fitting for someone of your education. You can stay here with your brother, if you tell me more about what's making you unsafe. I should know for the safety of this household and everyone in it. What exactly are we getting into keeping you here? Don't pretend; I'm sick of the lies."
"I've never pretended or lied to you. If any other person did, it's because you hired them to lie to you. Why would you do that if you hate people pretending and lying?" Itachi said, opening his eyes and looking directly at Kisame. Not letting Kisame speak, Itachi continued to change the topic. "I think a job more fitting my education would call too much attention to me and that could be dangerous. I do not believe you or any of your household is in danger. Honestly, the danger is in Konohagakure, not here. It's a man named Danzo, who was responsible for killing my family. I don't know anything else, sorry."
"I need to find out more about this Danzo, and see if there is truth to your words." Kisame said while pushing Itachi off. As Kisame left the room he said "We won't meet again like this, here."
