A/N I apologise – this entire fic has already been sent back to me by my friend, I’ve just been too lazy to fix it all up and post it :( Soooo sorry for keeping you waiting!
Kisame stared at Itachi. Did the Uchiha really just say that? After everything Kisame had done?!
"What the fuck did you just say?!" Kisame snarled, reaching behind him for Samehada. "And to think I was fucking worried about you!"
"I never asked you to be worried about me, Kisame."
Kisame threw Samehada to the side, breaking glass vials and the medicine cabinets as the large sword impacted with them. Itachi gasped as Kisame rushed at him, the older male jumping onto the bed and wrapping his hands around Itachi's neck.
Itachi tried to push Kisame away, but Kisame's grip was so tight that he could feel his airways being slowly crushed.
"Don’t you ever treat me like that again, Itachi," Kisame snarled, eyes flashing with anger that had been buried deep down inside for a long time, only to resurface at that minute. "Ever!"
Itachi choked and coughed, feeling himself losing consciousness, before a shout at the doorway startled them both and someone had pried Kisame away from him.
"Kisame!" Pein shouted angrily. "What the hell?!"
Kisame's eyes slowly cleared, the grip on Itachi's throat loosening, and once Kisame saw the bruises around Itachi's neck and the tears in the teen's eyes, his heart dropped. He had given in to his animal instincts and taken out all his frustration and anger on Itachi. Itachi. This was bad. Now, Itachi would lose the only person he could trust and confide in. Not that Itachi confided much in anyone, but Kisame knew things about Itachi no one else did – even if they were only tiny things.
Pein was glaring angrily at Kisame, waiting patiently for a reply.
Kisame's mouth opened and closed, trying to find the right words. "Pein-sama... I..." He took one last look at Itachi. "... I need to go for a walk."
Pein nodded, knowing it would be best for Kisame to get out and clear his head. "Sort everything out before you come back in, please, Kisame." His voice was soft, understanding; he had taken things out on Konan before without meaning too.
Kisame left, feeling his eyes burning as Itachi began to sob softly into the pillows. He had made him, Uchiha Itachi, shed tears – the same boy who had murdered his entire clan without shedding a tear for anyone but his little brother, after making him hate Itachi with all his being.
Kisame shook his head, horrified with himself. How could he do that to a teenager, let alone one as fragile and damaged as Itachi?
--LINEBREAK--
Kisame didn’t return back to the base until the next day at lunch. He stood outside forming the hand signs to break the Genjutsu, but soon he was glomped by someone before he could cast it.Kisame sighed as he heard the familiar childish giggle.
"Did no one let you in again, Tobi?" Kisame asked, his patience at a low, even for Zetsu's mentally-retarded subordinate.
Tobi shook his head, giggling happily. "Nope! Tobi is so glad Kisame-san was outside looking for Tobi! Tobi might never have gotten in otherwise!"
Kisame rolled his eyes. No one lets you in because they hate you, Kisame thought with malice. Or maybe he had spoken out loudly, because Tobi begun to cry.
"No one hate Tobi!" Tobi sobbed loudly, pounding on Kisame's chest with his fists in distress. "Kisame-san being mean to Tobi! Tobi gonna tell Zetsu-sensei on you! Zetsu-sensei gonna be mad!"
Kisame face-palmed, but the damage was already done; upset Tobi and he'd be blubbering the entire day until he cried himself to sleep – there was no use trying to console the childish man.
Instead, he grabbed Tobi's shirt collar, dragging him into the base once the Genjutsu was released and the entrance was revealed.
"Waaa!" Tobi sobbed loudly, his annoying voice echoing through the hallway, giving Kisame a headache. "Kisame-san is meeaaan! He even made Itachi-san cry last night!"
Kisame turned on Tobi, grabbing him by the front of his shirt and pulling him in close. "How do you know about that?" He hissed.
"Zetsu-sensei told Tobi because Tobi is a good boy!"
"How'd he know?!" Kisame shouted, shaking Tobi, he had hoped that no one would find out about this; more for Itachi's pride than his own wellbeing.
"Everyone knows!" Tobi began screaming now, trying to push Kisame away. "Zetsu-sensei! Kisame-san is gonna hurt Tobi!"
As if it were a signal, Zetsu merged from the floor, glaring angrily at Kisame, he hated people upsetting Tobi -- mainly because he was the one stuck to deal with him.
"Zetsu-sensei!" Tobi sobbed, hiccupping as he ran to the Kusa-nin and wrapped Zetsu tightly in one of his bone-crushing hugs. "Kisame-san is being mean to Tobi!"
"Just deal with him, big-mouth," Kisame hissed, turning.
"There, there, Tobi," Zetsu soothed gently, pulling the man into a comforting hug. "It's alright. No one is going to hurt you. Let's go into our room and have some fun."
Kisame grimaced as he heard this – everyone knew Zetsu and Tobi had more than just a teacher-student relationship – it was one of the reasons Zetsu could deal with Tobi, and the main reason no one but Zetsu would let Tobi into the base; no one wanted to hear them in their bedroom when the door was locked, though a closed door didn’t do much: Tobi was a screamer and Zetsu moaned loudly.
Leaving the two lovers in the hallway, Kisame headed straight into the kitchen. He didn’t expect Itachi to be there, but he was, the only absences being Zetsu and Kisame (on the rare occasion Tobi got into the base at mealtimes, he was made to eat in Zetsu's room.)
Itachi refused to look at Kisame all through lunch, but the horrible bruises all over Itachi's neck screamed and stared at him. Kisame watched with saddened eyes as Itachi kept his own eyes closed, lifting the spoon to his lips slowly and sipping at his soup, trying to act tough but failing; Itachi's tiny quivers were visible to all of the Akatsuki, though no one dared mention anything about it out loud with Itachi around.
Orochimaru, Zetsu's partner, had eyes hungry with want as he stared intently at Itachi. Kisame snarled inaudibly once he noticed this -- if Orochimaru got his hands on Itachi, Itachi would be ruined. Itachi was either oblivious to the stares or he was ignoring it, but whatever he was doing only made Kisame angrier – everyone knew what Orochimaru was like, and Itachi would not be able to handle it in his already-fragile state.
"Sit down, please, Kisame-san," Pein said quietly at the head of the table. "Eat."
Kisame hesitated; everyone's seats were designated. You had to sit with your partner, but Kisame had a feeling Itachi wouldn’t want him there today... maybe even never.
As soon as Itachi heard this he pushed his barely touched soup away and stood up quickly, his eyes wild with fear.
"May I be excused, Pein-sama?" He asked politely, refusing to look at anyone and instead kept his eyes on his 'lunch'.
"Itachi-kun --" Konan began, but Pein interrupted her.
"Yes, Itachi."
Itachi bowed respectfully before hurrying away from the kitchen; Kisame didn’t fail to notice that Itachi had refused to be within three feet's distance of the shark-man.
"It's customary for everyone to remain seated until the last member is finished," Konan said quietly, her eyebrow raised at Pein. "You shouldn’t have allowed Itachi to run, he will have to learn to deal with this; they're partners."
"Konan, Itachi needs time," he said softly. "We can’t force him until he's ready to deal with it."
Konan nodded, turning back to her ramen.
Kisame shook his head sadly before taking a seat, but instead of reaching for the food like he always did with such fervor, he chose to just stare at Itachi's soup until Kakuzu had finished and everyone was allowed to leave the room.
--LINEBREAK--
It was that night that Kisame had finally been able to see what he had truly done to Itachi; Itachi had refused to come in even for a shower or to get his pyjamas, and he had flat-out refused to sleep in the same bed as Kisame.
Instead, Pein had allowed Itachi to use his shower and had gone in to fetch pyjamas from the Uchiha's room himself. Itachi had gotten spare sheets and slept on the couch.
Due to all of the avoiding that Itachi had been doing Kisame had soon realised that he really didn‘t want to be at the Akatsuki any longer; he had come to terms with his feelings about Itachi during all this.
He loved the Uchiha. He love-loved him. That's why the next night he started packing his bags, he couldn’t bear to see Itachi like this any longer because his anger had gotten the better of him.
A/N One thing I forgot to mention (though you should have worked this out already with Itachi's age and Dei having only just joined) is that this is before the timeskip, though I am still keeping Oro in, though as Zetsu's partner instead.
