For My Little Brother – Chapter 9: For My Little Brother
-.-.-
Warnings: None this time~! Maybe mild yaoi?
-.-.-
It had been eight long years since Umi had been at Naiad Manor. Sometimes she would fly to another place for vacation, like their personal favorite Sunagakure, with her brother, Kisame. But she hadn't stepped into the home itself in so long. Not since her marriage to Darui. She had moved to Tsuchigakure, enjoying life. After all, her worries about her younger brother were all dealt with, she had placed him in the hands of the young Uchiha Itachi. Uchiha Itachi would have been malleable enough at his age to become exactly what Kisame wanted. Umi smiled as she watched the familiar countryside from the car's backseat heading to her childhood home. She considered her "discovery" of Uchiha Itachi one of her greatest accomplishments.
As soon as she was sure Kisame would be perfectly fine with Itachi in his life, she had left making, perhaps, the biggest mistake of her life. Or perhaps, it was the greatest thing she had ever done. But which of the two it was, even she couldn't say for sure. What is it? Well… It will happen by the end of the day today; a day which should have been perfect.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
The night before
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"What is it, Kisame?" Itachi asked, still in his lover's embrace.
"Let's sit down first." Kisame said, struggling to even his voice. He had been through this so many times in his head, but he still wasn't ready. He never would be, for this. He gestured towards the armchairs by the fireplace in the cozy library.
Itachi, picking up on Kisame's need for affection right now, held the shark's hand as they walked over. Urging Kisame to sit first, without letting go of Kisame's hand, Itachi sat down on the ground so that he was looking up.
"What is it?" Itachi repeated, his eyes not leaving Kisame's pain filled ones.
"Itachi… I don't even know where to start." Kisame paused as if collecting his thoughts before continuing. "I feel so awful about this…. It's been eating me up for the past eight years."
"What has?"
"I've been using you this whole time, knowing you didn't feel the same way. I knew and I still let this go on even though I could've given you everything you wanted without forcing you like this." Itachi opened his mouth to speak at this point, but Kisame stopped him, shaking his head. "And that's not all.… Just to keep you here I did something even worse."
"What did you do?" Itachi's face was unreadable, the kindness that had been so clearly visible before was gone.
"I made a deal with Sasuke. No, I can't go into that yet, first I have to tell you about Danzo. I had the power to get rid of him earlier. I did, and I didn't go through with it. I forced you and your brother to live in hiding with no identity all these years, I made it so you couldn't pursue your dreams, unless it was from the shadows. I didn't do it because I wanted you to need me, to rely on me." Kisame took a moment to read Itachi's expression, but it was useless. Itachi was just watching Kisame with the same expression as always. One that somehow said "keep going." So Kisame did. "I made a deal with Sasuke when he started talking about wanting to leave and go back to Konoha. I knew you'd make it happen. So I told Sasuke I'd help him get revenge and be the hero, if he just stopped trying to leave and fix things. I didn't want you to ever leave me. I was so afraid you would, even back then. I'm so sorry Itachi."
Kisame couldn't look at Itachi anymore. No tears fell, but Kisame shook and buried his face in his hands, unable to bear the reality before him. "I'm so sorry. I'm sorry." Kisame managed to let out, hoping somehow that his apologies would make everything go away. He had screwed over Itachi. Taken away his future. Taken away his dreams, ambitions, desires. Made it so he literally couldn't leave the mansion without support. He had imprisoned him. For eight years. Itachi would hate him after this.
"Is that all you have to say?" Itachi asked, his voice betrayed nothing of what he was feeling.
"I understand if you want to break up with me. Itachi, I will give you anything you want; you don't have to stay with me. You can have everything, and I mean everything. I will get rid of Danzo; you can have your identity and life back. And I don't expect you to do anything in return. If you hate me, I understand. Even if you want to kill me, I understand."
"Why would I kill you? Don't be so dramatic." Itachi pulled away Kisame's hands from his face. "I'm not leaving you either. Stop hiding from me."
"Wha... I.…" Kisame didn't even know what to say. He just watched Itachi, who was standing up, looking at him.
"Kisame, you haven't told me anything I didn't already know." Itachi's placed one hand on Kisame's cheek and pushed him back against the armchair. "I still love you. I have loved you for a long time. It was never a lie. I never wanted anything else from you… but love."
"Why?" Kisame's voice cracked; he didn't understand. Nothing seemed to make sense.
"Do you need a reason to love someone?" Itachi asked, getting into Kisame's lap staring directly into Kisame's eyes, at a dangerously close distance.
"I… I don't know how to respond. I don't think this has sunk in yet. I thought you would break up with me." Despite his words, Kisame was elated. So elated he forgot Itachi's earlier words – "You haven't told me anything I didn't already know."
Itachi leaned in and kissed Kisame, wrapping his arms around his dark lover. Kisame kissed back; the joy uncontrolled. His arms slipped under Itachi's shirt and across the raven's back, unbelieving that this was reality – a beautiful and true reality. Itachi loved him!
With that realization Kisame broke their kiss and lifted Itachi into the air; standing and twirling him around, with the biggest smile on his face. One that hadn't been seen by Itachi their entire time together.
"I'm so… happy!" Kisame laughed, holding Itachi close as he finished swirling the man through the air. "You've made me the happiest man alive."
"I'm happy that you're happy." Itachi smiled back, able to feel the joy gushing from the shark. Inside, Itachi was feeling a stinging guilt about what he was about to do, but he put those feelings away. He was going to enjoy this moment.
-.-.-
The Uzumaki clan was well known in Uzushiogakure, a village that had good relations with its parent, Konohagakure. In particular, the Uzumaki clan separated and created it's own village to serve as a secret military for Konoha. It's speciality? Assasination.
Generations of gifted Uzumaki's – well known for their red hair – were trained in the art of the assassin. In Uzushiogakure, many families served the Uzumaki and trained under them. Their sole purpose; serving as tools. However, Karin Uzumaki rejected this role. She, and thirty followers, left the village and created their own Playgirl Mansion. Karin trained the group that consisted of her childhood friends and some lovers, most of whom were men. Her sister, Kushina, admired her ideals but actually enjoyed being an assassin.
Kushina came to Konohagakure once on a mission and fell in love with Minato Namikaze, soon after leaving Uzushiogakure to marry him and have Naruto. Naruto Namikaze may not look like an Uzumaki, but he had all the makings of one. He was trained by his mother in the art of assassination and on occasion visited his family in Uzushiogakure.
This little fact, he kept secret from erveryone, even Sasuke. Mostly because he hated it! He wanted nothing to do with the lifestyle, which just wasn't his style.
Although he didn't know much about his aunt Karin, he knew she was a formidable assassin who was notorious even in Uzushio; her followers were powerful as well. What no one bothered to tell Naruto, was that Karin and her followers were fairly well known in the pornography industry for things completely unrelated to killing.
Uchiha Sasuke in particular was a fan, although he wouldn't ever admit it aloud, of Karin's Playgirl Mansion. Upon hearing that not only was Naruto related to Karin, but that she and her group were visiting…. Well, let's leave the rest to Sasuke's imagination.
Thus a strange silence followed in which Sasuke desperately hoped nothing on his face gave away his knowledge of Karin's occupation, lest he appear to be a pervert in front of Naruto. Naruto, on the other hand, desperately hoped he could hide his knowledge of Karin's occupation, lest he appear to be a dangerous assassin in front of Sasuke. Also, Naruto was afraid Sasuke might be a little mad that it hadn't been brought up already.
"So what's the plan for tomorrow?" Sasuke asked, feeling stupid as he asked it. Naruto had already said the two could discuss their plans for Danzo tomorrow, and that they had to play laser tag. Just asking sounded ridiculous, as if he was desperately trying to change the subject. Mentally, Sasuke chided himself.
"OH uh… Laser tag... uh and uh.…" Naruto felt stupid as he stuttered, trying to find words to say. "You know what, let's talk about it after we take a bath."
We. Sasuke's perverted mind instantly went places it never should, before he mentally chided himself for obviously misunderstanding. Both had a strange expression on their face as they looked at each other.
Both had the same thought as they watched the other's "oh fuck" face.
He knows.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Back to today
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Umi was having a great time! She met her brother, who seemed to be overflowing with happiness; clearly Uchiha Itachi had been a great decision. Not only that, the boy had grown into a very handsome man. Even Umi couldn't help but note his incredible presence. He demanded attention; it was as if he was beauty itself. It seemed as if he was admired by everyone, including her brother. If he was admired so much, he must have deserved it. He was kind, polite, and most of all respectful in the conversations the two had.
When he asked her privately to meet her at the Hoshigaki family's burial grounds about a mile away from the main house, she was surprised; a tinge of fear growing inside her. Suddenly his admiration by all those around him seemed to create a completely different meaning to her – a malicious one. However, she agreed, and the two set off immediately unnoticed by anyone else.
The Hoshigaki family burial grounds were underground. Generations of their family had been buried there inside stone coffins built into the walls. Within the main antechamber, the most prominent members were placed. The place was well maintained and bright; it was still in use after all. As children, Umi and Kisame had to pay their respects to their ancestors once a week. Both even had their own stone coffins built for when they died.
"So, what did you want to speak to me about?" Umi asked, a sense of dread filling her. She had an idea, but she was hoping to turn the tables on Itachi in this conversation.
"I think you know." Itachi responded, pacing the antechamber and stopping at her coffin; his pale fingers tracing the outline of her name etched in stone.
"I have an idea."
"You killed my family."
"It would have happened anyway… I just didn't stop it."
"You led me here so you could use me."
"It was necessary. Aren't you the one who told me it didn't matter how it happened, as long as I accomplished my goals? I'm also here, doing whatever I have to for my little brother."
"Oh, I don't judge you for it. I might've done the same." Itachi responded, stoicly. "In fact, you're absolutely right about doing whatever you need to for your little brother."
"So you understand?" Umi had a feeling this wasn't the end.
"I understand. But you see, you should've covered your tracks better. I managed to figure this out so easily, don't you think?"
"I don't know how easy it was for you."
"So you don't." Itachi agreed. "But the fact is, I did find out."
"What are you getting at?"
"I'm important to Kisame now." Itachi responded with a smile. "He loves me. He would do anything for me. Just yesterday, he said he would give me everything and even die, for me." Umi's eyes widened. Of course he would. Because of her. She had driven Kisame to Itachi. And Umi was quickly realizing Itachi was a monster.
Instantly Umi's mind went into overdrive over the events. She had been searching for two years for someone who could help her brother out of his state. But no one she found was perfect, no one good enough; no one who could fit every requirement she had in store; until she found out about Uchiha Itachi. The genius of the Uchiha clan, a kind and incredibly handsome child. His family had a great history, one that could rival the Hoshigaki's. He was also young enough to be malleable… malleable enough to grow up to be exactly what Umi needed him to be. Young enough to be innocent and trusting… to be used.
Umi had underestimated him. Of course he would find out. He worked with criminals. He was a genius. He would question everything, especially Umi's quick hospitality, her irrational trust in him with something so clearly important, her attempt to buy them off by throwing wealth in their faces. She had rushed this; she didn't play her cards right.
But so what? This could still work.
"So what do you expect to get out of this?" Umi asked, changing her stance to a more confident one. "You still don't have an identity. You can't go anywhere; you can't do anything. Kisame doesn't know about this either. Are you going to break up with him? Get revenge on us? If you kill me, everyone will know. You'll make an enemy out of the Hoshigaki family, which quite frankly is worse than having Danzo as your enemy."
"Oh I don't intend to do anything to you." Itachi smiled sadistically. "I want you to kill yourself. And you are going to do it because you care about your brother."
"That's not happening." Umi almost laughed.
"Oh but you will. You can't touch me, if you do anything to me, anything at all, Kisame will never recover." Itachi paced around Umi like a predator. "And if you tell him the truth, he will hate you, not me. He will want to make it up to me using any means possible, and I will accept his offer to take everything of his letting him die."
"And if I die what method do I have to know that he will be happy?"
"I love Kisame." Itachi dared to say, shrugging as he did so. "I'd be quite happy with him. In fact, I intend to spend the rest of my life with him. I'll be there with him every step of the way, unless of course, you get in the way. Do you really want to crush his happiness?"
"He moved on once, he can do it again." Umi said, waving her hands. "You're replaceable."
"If you think so, speak to Kisame." Itachi was at the stairs to exit now, his hand on the frame. He looked back one more time "I'll give you until tomorrow at midnight to either leave this world, or destroy Kisame's world. The choice is yours." With that, Itachi left, leaving Umi dumbstruck, staring at the space where he once stood, wondering how it ever got to this point.
-.-.-
"Danna?" Deidara waved a hand before Sasori's face as they sat on a park bench in Konoha with takeout ramen. Sasori had been staring idly at the ramen, something unusual for him.
"Deidara, I was wondering.…" Sasori began, and then stopped. What he was about to ask was perfect for someone with his own ideology, but Deidara was different. What if the blonde rejected him?
"Yeah?" Deidara asked, twirling ramen with his chopsticks.
"Do you want to become a robot?"
"What?" Deidara stared. It was true that this had been on Deidara's mind recently. When he had met Sasori, he was in his twenties; now he was in his thirties and Sasori didn't look a day older then when they had met. Eventually he would be old and saggy while Sasori would be eternally beautiful. Eventually he would die, and Sasori would be here alone. Eventually.
"I was just thinking that I can't stand the idea of living without you. I want you to become a robot like me." Sasori continued, getting up and walking around the bench towards Deidara. "I was just thinking I want to spend forever with you – literally forever. Deidara, will you marry me?" Sasori asked, as he got on his knees and held out a gold ring with red explosive designs around it.
"Danna, oh my god, danna." Deidara, practically jumped off the bench with a goofy, joyous grin. "Of course I will! I love you, YEAH!"
Sasori smiled and placed the ring on Deidara's finger, which was a feat considering how hyperactive the man seemed to be at the moment, and leaned in to kiss the bomber.
-.-.-
"I love him." Kisame said, with a toothy grin as he drank some alcohol. "He's the best thing that ever happened to me."
"Really?" Umi asked, sitting with Kisame in their secret hiding place as children. Umi was reminded of how they had explored the place during those rainy days when you couldn't play outside.
"Yes, absolutely. I couldn't live without him. I am going to ask him to marry me – not now, maybe in a year or so. I have to make it perfect." Kisame had never felt happier. Just the day before, he had found out that Itachi truly loved him – now nothing could bring him down. Not now, not ever. "I mean, I have never been happier in my life. I am so grateful to you for finding him, Umi. Thank you."
"You're welcome." Umi smiled and she got up to hug her brother. "Now, why don't we spar? It's been a while since we've had a chance."
"Let's do it." Kisame beamed. He loved a good challenge, Samehada had very few rivals.
-.-.-
Umi's Nuibari needle like sword clashed against Kisame's large shark skin sword, Samehada. The two were sparring outside in the clearing of their gardens that had been made specifically for their sparring.
For once, Samehada's scales ripped out of their bandages, something which did not occur very often.
"Huh? I wonder what has Samehada so excited." Kisame said jumping back and holding Samehada defensively before his chest as Umi's Nuibari aimed to pierce his chest. The two swords met with a clang.
"Maybe it can sense the excitement?" Umi pondered. There was a legend that the swords had a mind of their own, but it wasn't like they were used nearly enough - or ever really - in real combat. As a result, the Hoshigaki's only knew of the legend of the seven great swords they owned, but never knew of the reality behind the legends.
"Sometimes I do feel like Samehada can feel." Kisame commented, slashing Samehada through the air, aiming to decapitate Umi, who side blocked with Nuibari while jumping to the side.
"You spend too much time with that sword." Umi snorted. "For a while there I thought you were having an affair with it."
"Oh please." Kisame smiled, his teeth appearing sharper then they truly were. "Samehada is my first love. You were totally right."
"You won't even deny it, huh?" Umi smirked, while jumping into the air and onto Samehada, slashing Nuibari straight at Kisame. Kisame had to duck his head to avoid the hit, shocked that Umi managed to jump onto the blade, his grip on Samehada almost lessened.
"I've never seen you try this one before." Kisame croaked, flipping Samehada so that Umi would fall off.
"I'm full of surprises." Umi used the momentum from the flipping Samehada to fly through the air to the opposite side, throwing Nuibari as she did so towards Kisame.
"No joke!" Kisame responded, wide-eyed as he slammed Samehada through the air like a bat, tossing Nuibari to the side in order to protect himself.
"Kisame, why did you choose Samehada?"
"I don't know, he just seemed to fit. I tried to the other blades and they just didn't seem to work for me. Why did you choose Nuibari?"
"Because the legend of Nuibari is that it was a needle like blade used to stitch people together. There's a wire attachment that I use sometimes you know. I just thought the legend was really cool, like it can bring people together or completely destroy them."
"Sounds dumb, I like Samehada's legend better."
"Heh, it's not so bad." Umi walked in the direction of the artificial lake in the gardens, and Kisame followed after placing Samehada against a tree.
"So why did that legend appeal to you?" Kisame asked.
"Because I felt like that was my role somehow, to be the one who brought people together, or destroyed them completely. I'm starting to wonder which option is better."
"Well isn't it obvious?" Kisame asked, watching his sister oddly. "Obviously it's to bring people together!"
"Yeah but what if you bring the wrong people together, or what if some of those people would have a negative impact on things?"
"Well I don't know how you can judge between the two, but if that's your role and you think that these people will have a negative impact on things then maybe you should destroy them completely? I never stopped to think about if the people were bad, but I guess bringing the wrong people together isn't the best idea."
"Enough talk about legends, it's depressing and weird." Umi laughed. "Doesn't even make sense. Tell me more about yourself in the past eight years. I know we talked over the phone and stuff but it's different to hear it from you in person."
Kisame seemed to light up instantly. "You know I always felt so bad about what I did to Itachi, I told you before how it was eating me up inside.
Umi nodded in acknowledgement as she remembered how he had avoided killing off Danzo to trap Itachi. Umi never told him that if he didn't do it, she would've done it herself.
"Well... He forgave me after I told him about it. He said he loved me. I mean... I told him he didn't have to pretend for my sake, that he could have my everything and I'd gladly give it to him. He said he only wanted me." The smile and contentedness with which Kisame spoke those words made Umi realize just how deep Itachi had dug himself into the shark's heart.
How long has it been since Kisame had been truly happy? Umi had forgotten over the years. It seemed as if he was always entrapped by the world and the negativity, yet here was a happy Kisame that she thought she would never see again. It was the Kisame she remembered as a child.
Umi got up and placed her hand on Kisame's shoulder. "I'm so happy to see you like this."
"Me too."
-.-.-
"You be on team blue with Shikamaru and Kiba." Naruto said, handing Sasuke a blue vest. "I'll be on team red with Choji and Gaara."
"Who came up with these teams?" Kiba groaned. "Shikamaru at least fall asleep to the side so we don't trip over you."
"I'll actually play this time." Shikamaru scoffed. "I'm serious."
"Yeah and I'm the Kazekage." Gaara said, eliciting a few chuckles from the rest of the group.
"Just for that, I will destroy all of you." Shikamaru responded.
"Rightt, let's get started." Naruto said, "Go huddle up with your teams. As soon as the alarm goes off it's WAR."
The two groups split up, team blue picked up their weapons from the west wall of the laser tag complex.
"Alright Shikamaru, what are we doing?" Kiba asked, picking up his gun.
"Why are we asking Shikamaru?" Sasuke asked.
"Izuna you're pretty new to this so trust us, Shikamaru is the strategist. He will suck at actually playing but he knows what he's doing and we will win if we follow his directions." Kiba responded.
"I'll listen to your strategy, but that doesn't mean I'll follow it." Sasuke responded.
"Fine, fine." Kiba rolled his eyes. "You're not at all what I expected out of Naruto's friend you know? You're so serious and he's… not."
"Opposites attract." Shikamaru snickered.
Sasuke glared and cocked his gun. "Are we going to do this or not?"
After Shikamaru finished explaining his strategy, Sasuke had to admit it was a pretty good one and agreed to go through with it, while chiding himself for not coming up with it himself.
READYYYYYY. The music for the laser tag match began. Sasuke, Kiba and Shikamaru instantly turned towards the sound.
SETTTT. The three ran to their positions, getting ready for the match.
GO! All hell broke loose.
-.-.-
Shikamaru felt a vibration from his pocket and he pulled out his phone, hiding behind a block as he checked.
Ino: Shika, I think I'm in love with this guy…
This can't be happening. Shikamaru thought, quickly texting back.
Shikamaru: Don't get emotionally attached, we need to protect Naruto! Did you find out anything new?
Ino: No, I haven't, he's really good at avoiding the topic and somehow getting what he wants.
Shikamaru: That just makes him more dangerous. Be on guard. I have to go now, we're playing laser tag with that guy Naruto was always texting.
Ino: What's he like?
Shikamaru: You'll like him, he's annoying and the type girls fall for.
-.-.-
At the Hoshigaki family burial grounds, the lights flickered, greatly dimmed. Silence, usually not abnormal here, suffocated the area. Stretched out in the darkness of her stone coffin, Umi lay. Sword clutched tightly in her hands; eyes staring into the past long since gone where her brother and she played and laughed. The heavy lid hid her from view, and asphyxiated her. Before closing the lid on her future, she had e-mails set to automatically send at exactly midnight. One to her brother and one to her husband.
-.-.-
Darui read his wife's e-mail and slammed his fist against the wall, leaving a hole.
"I can't accept this..." He muttered under his breath.
-.-.-
"What… What does this mean?" Kisame asked, standing at the edge of the bed as he looked at his phone.
"What is it?" Itachi asked, not yet wanting to get out of bed. The two had just finished a rough lovemaking session.
"I got a strange e-mail from Umi." Kisame said, flustered. "It can't be real right? It's a joke, right?"
Instantly, Itachi got up, interested. "Can I read it?" Kisame handed his phone to Itachi and got dressed, leaving the room as the weasel's eyes flickered through, reading the message.
-.-.-.-.-.-
To: Hoshigaki Kisame
From: Hoshigaki Umi
Dear Little Brother,
Do you remember that time when we were going to Tsuchigakure for the first time to visit our uncle, and the guide who was taking care of us at the airport got lost? With all the people and bussel around? Do you remember how we thought we were never going to see our parents again and didn't know what to do? I said that no matter what happens, I will always be there for you. That still holds true. I love you. No matter what, to me, there is no one more important then you.
Unfortunately, something has happened. I can't tell you what exactly, but for the past year and half I've been sick. It's been getting worse, and I'm in so much pain. I'd rather go my own way than fall weakly. This is my last message to you, and I want you to know, you're the best thing that ever happened to me. I'm sorry that I have to leave you like this, but I can't handle living any more.
Before you came along, I had no one. I was alone, and bored. Mom and dad were so overbearing. Only darkness covered my life. Then you came. It was like my whole world changed. A little sun shone. I had a little brother, who became my best friend; who shared my pains and troubles. Even with everything thrown at us, we had so much fun together, and for the first time I had a real friend. Kisame, I can never thank you enough. There are not enough words in all the languages put together to tell you exactly how I feel.
Just promise me one thing, okay? Take care of yourself, and be happy. I couldn't rest in peace, if I knew you weren't happy. So don't let my death bring you down. I'll be watching you from above. Since, I don't think I said it enough… I love you.
-Your big sister, Umi
-.-.-.-.-.-
Immediately after reading it, Itachi's body shook. He began to regret his ultimatum. Quickly, he dialed Umi's number from Kisame's phone.
She didn't pick up.
Picking up his own phone, he frantically dialed her number, over and over again. Each voicemail he got, he hung up and tried again. The mantra running through his mind never changing….Pick up, pick up. Don't die. Please don't die. I'm sorry.
He never knew that it was already too late. Umi had died for her little brother.
-.-.-
A/N: This one took a while to come out didn't it? But hey it's pretty interesting at least, right? Umi's death marks the end of part 1 out of three parts. Tell me what you guys think!
What is Shikamaru protecting Naruto from? Who is the mystery man Ino is with? Who will win laser tag? Will Kisame find out about Itachi's revenge? Dun dun DUN.
Also thank you to Kinkou for editing this chapter.
