Description
Sasuke wasn't enraged or even disgusted. He was merely upset that Itachi could and would do that. The feeling settled into his stomach and made him uneasy. It was a deep feeling like his brother hadn't cared. Even more so he felt saddened that his brother was talking to Orochimaru about him. Sit there and joke and speak as if Orochimaru was some friend of their family. It made his blood boil in a bad way. Sasuke stomped along the sidewalks try to hide the fact he wanted to cry and throw a fit. Naruto was at his side and petted his back soothingly trying to get him to calm down even a little.n irratation,im!" "I can't believe him… He would just sit there evenly discussing the time of day."

Following them were sneaker steps on the pavement and not the ones belonging to Deidara who trailed them. Itachi pushed past the lawyer grabbing Sasuke's shoulder and stopping him. "Sasuke wait. I want to talk to you."

"Well I don't want to talk to you. You know exactly what that bastard did to me! You just fucking sat there!" Sasuke said ripping away from him. He was going to keep yelling but had to pull in a hand to cough on. Itachi caught him back by the shoulder and gave him stability until his fit was over.

Deidara suddenly remember his purpose among the drama and tried to interject. "Guys, Sasori…" He was quickly cut off by Itachi and lowered his facial expression sighing. "God damn it."

"What part of I can't beat him don't you get? What would you have me do than? Madara's in jail, he doesn't have the serum and 9 is more likely to kill us on sight that talk to us, let alone give us an antidote." Itachi mused softly. He stroked a lock out of Sasuke's face and glared at his baby brother's blood red eyes. "Don't you ever think that I am not putting you first because you are wrong. I tried, I asked, he can't reverse it. I'm so sorry, this is all my fault."

"Can I get a word in?" Deidara asked but he was ignored by both Uchiha, the ones he needed to talk to. He raised a finger and tried again but got nothing in return. His head dropped and so did his attitude. "This is so shitty…"

"Try yelling, it may help more." Naruto said patting him on the shoulder. He than shoved him foreword a bit more into a visible area. Uzumaki gave him a thumbs up and nodded. "Being loud works trust me."

"Guys!" Deidara's voice echoed through the empty street and had its intended effect. The Uchihas stopped their melodramatic whisperings and turned to look at Deidara like he was interrupting something important with two sets of slightly pissed off eyes. "Sasori sent me; he said that Sasuke's condition is progressive."

"Progressive?" Itachi knew exactly what Deidara meant, he didn't know that Sasuke did as well and pulled Deidara aside by his shirt collar. "You mean it's not done yet?"

"According to him, it's barely even started. We have to get back; Sasori's making a bed at the old medical building. He thinks Sasuke's going to get way worse." Deidara muttered back. Itachi sighed and dropped Deidara's shirt turning away. Itachi looked over at Sasuke who nodded.

"I know what it means. Hey, it's okay. Let's go than." Sasuke said with a smile on his face. 'Well… If I die… Itachi will get a Corvette.' Sasuke tried to think of a positive to match his fading grin but couldn't as Itachi didn't like Corvettes. "Naruto, go ahead with Deidara, I guess I want to talk with Itachi."

Naruto nodded and waited for Deidara to get some twenty feet ahead before he cast a smile at Sasuke and took off after the future lawyer. Itachi sulked in next to Sasuke as they began walking. Both had their heads down not looking at the other and hands clenched in their pockets. For a while they observed their shoes scoffing the pavements as they shuffled after the blondes. Itachi gave in the smiled to himself. "So? What am I being yelled at about now?"

"It wasn't Deidara's fault; you didn't need to do that to your drinking buddy." Itachi quickly moved to protest but Sasuke made a mocking noise until he stopped. "Shut up, you're arguments invalid. He's the only guy you've ever actually drank with, and don't deny it; I could smell it on both your breaths. I still can a bit. I'm only saying that it's good to make new friends. I think Kisame's becoming a bad influence, you sit around whining all day now."

"I do not." Sasuke caught him with a finger expertly placed in his face right between the eyes. Itachi sighed. "Alright fine, I have relaxed maybe a little too much. I don't really get along with Deidara though, we have nothing in common besides drinking."

"Long hair… Fly off the handle easily… Hate Madara. The last one's all you really need at a bar isn't it?" Sasuke asked him. Itachi rubbed his neck making some weird murmuring noise. "Best part is you hate each other, you can get drunk and get in a fist fight with him and totally dominate. Then you can keep record and totally wave it in his face every chance you get."

"Are you seriously suggesting that? Get drunk just to fight? I can do it anyway, all I have to do is call him a girl and he's ready to shoot." Itachi said watching Deidara ahead of them having a vivid conversation with Naruto. "That would be funny though. Walk in a bar and have people play guess the gender, it's a way to make money if I needed it."

"So, are you actually Bi?" Itachi just hummed a yes in a depressing manner and called it a good enough response. Sasuke however was a little confused about this revelation and proceeded to tell him so. "Why the Hell wouldn't you tell your gay little brother? You know when I told you that is kind of something you share in response, like… You know. You just come out and say it after I told you."

"I didn't think it would improve anything, especially after I was kicked out by Dad. Would it have helped?" Itachi asked seriously looking at his brother. Sasuke just shrugged. The young Uchiha looked up at his brother and with a confused look nodded his head. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you then. If I knew it would have helped, I would have told you right away."

"Yea, I would have helped a lot actually. Up until I was fourteen I thought I was broken or something. You were supportive however." Sasuke raised his hand yet again and coughed aggressively into it. Itachi tried to smile and wrapped an arm around him waiting for Sasuke to stop. When he did Sasuke spit onto the sidewalk and ushered them away knowing he tasted blood in his saliva; he didn't want Itachi to see it. "That's getting annoying. I guess I'm not that angry at you after all."

"You're a hormonal teenager." Itachi said picking on his brother. He quickly poked him in the middle of the forehead playfully and smiled. "Don't worry about it. You'll be okay someday, when you get over everything."

"Hopefully not everything, than I might turn out boring like you." Sasuke retorted and held his head up high ignoring the fact that his forehead had begun hurting. He staved off the temptation to rub it for a few seconds before giving in. It hurt. "I'm back to hating you."

"You better not be radioactive, it was bad enough when you were sick." Itachi quickly prodded his brother in the forehead provoking an argument.

"Better than being celibate. Maybe Orochimaru was right; maybe you do need to get laid." Itachi grabbed Sauske around the neck and began to mess up his hair. "It's like you're angry about being a damn virgin. I know, why don't you just get Deidara drunk…"

"Shut your face, Sasuke." Itachi said rubbing harder. Sasuke let out an 'ow' and began to wrestle with Itachi's hand but was losing. "Don't talk about things you don't know about. Especially since he's one of those people you love to hate."

"You used the word 'love.' Are you mad because I'm right?" Itachi went full force on his head. The force on his scalp caused Sasuke to start whining until his big brother stopped to check on him. Sasuke just could help but keep talking. "I'm right aren't I?"

Itachi glare at Sasuke for a second. His arm wasn't budging around the young Uchiha's neck. "No."

"It was just a joke, it's not like he'd stick explosive up his ass would he?" Sasuke questioned and than thought about it. He gave a light 'een…' and sighed. "So he might, which would be funny because technically he'd be blowing you."

"Sasuke… Oh my God. I wish I had brought duct tape." Itachi said trying to stop from laughing. Itachi turned away for a minute before looking back at Sasuke who was beaming with a giant smile. "You seriously need to stop it, it's not funny."

"No it isn't, he'd have explosive diarrhea for a week." Sasuke said and Itachi finally gave. His little brother joined him as they stumbled to move about in the fit of laughter.. questioned and than thought about it. He gave a light '

---------(black bird)---------

"So I have a question." Deidara said as Naruto caught up to him. Naruto looked over to him and nodded. Deidara opened his mouth, thought for a second and nearly whispered: "Why did you choose guys over girls?"

"Never thought about it that way. I always just thought of it as being with Sasuke. There's nothing hugely important about whatever's down there, it's the person for me." Naruto shrugged and thought more about it. "That and I was kind of dragged into a relationship with Sasuke. Three A.M. and in pain kind of makes your head go all crazy. I'm kind of glad it did, or I wouldn't be here now with him. I can honestly say I never expected it. I don't think about that much however, I'm just super worried about him."

Deidara just sighed and nodded. "Yea, poor kid. It sounds like to what Itachi went through Sasuke's been having it super easy. I'm sure Sasori can fix him; he's pretty amazing at what he does. You should see all the things he just automatically knows; like big words."

"Yea, Sasuke knows a lot of big words too." Naruto recalled his story he had turned into Kakashi. He smiled and looked behind at Sasuke and Itachi who were already back to their brotherly arguing. Naruto shook his head and watched his feet as the street lights came on. "Jiraiya, he's my guardian, he knows a bunch of big words too."

Deidara smiled and laughed. "Yea, I've read all his books, actually. I'm a fan even though it sounds weird. It's like written porn."

"It is all porn, it is soft-core porn with dialogue in it. I keep telling him that and he doesn't believe me." Naruto said and scratched the back of his head checking on Sasuke, he was still doing fine. Naruto's head jolted. "Hey, I can get you an early copy of his new book next time I see him."

"Really?" Deidara asked excitedly. Naruto nodded, the blond hair flailing. "That would be super awesome."

"That sounded so gay. I'm just letting you know." Naruto smiled picking fun at Deidara. The law student scowled and stuck out his tongue which Naruto just ignored. "The book, it's a little pedophilic. He says it is set in a time when it was alright but I don't believe him. It still was a little uncomfortable."

"Ah, yea, suppose it would be… Must still be good."

"Yea, but like I'd never tell him that. Jiraiya's one of those motivated by discouragement. Keeps him going." Naruto muttered and bit his lip looking back at Sasuke. Deidara caught notice and assured him that Sasuke was fine. "I know, can't hurt to kept checking up on him though. He's full of surprises."

"Can I ask you another question? Why are they mean to me?" Deidara asked honestly, he pointed a finger over his shoulder at the Uchiha brothers and waited for a response.

Naruto just looked at him with a confused expression trying to figure out where Deidara would get that from. "What are you talking about, they're assertive and sometimes violent, but not mean."

"What is he blathering on about?" Sasuke yelled up to them from the headlock Itachi had him in. Sasuke quickly escaped it and pointed a finger in his brother's face threatening retaliation which only made Itachi laugh harder.

"That, right there, he's being mean to me!" Deidara said pointing to him. Sasuke started to say 'blow it out your ass' but found he couldn't finish. Sasuke began coughing in the middle of the sentence and found he couldn't stop.

"Sasuke!" Itachi grasped Sasuke around his shoulders to keep him standing. Sasuke began coughing harder and Itachi's vice grip on his frère wasn't enough. Sasuke lurched and broke free. "Naruto, help me with him!"

"I'll call Sasori and see if he's done yet." Deidara said whipping out his phone. Naruto and Itachi helped Sasuke to his feet only to have to hold him still. Sasuke coughed a few more times and calmed down watching Deidara intently. Deidara caught Sasori's voice mail and began muttering into the phone. "Hope that bed's finished soon, he's getting worse."

Sasuke pushed his brother off swearing he was alright. After some convincing words Itachi let him walk with Naruto who wrapped an arm around his back just in case. "Come on, Sasuke. Let's get you home."

"Or to cake." Sasuke offered looking over at Naruto. He made a pathetic look which only made him appear worse. Naruto shook his head. "Fine, I'll just get cake later."

"We've got to get you home, it's more important, O-kay?" Naruto asked, reluctant at this Sasuke nodded and found Naruto leaned up to kiss him on the forehead. Sasuke began smiling and they kept walking with Itachi behind them just smiling. Deidara was in front leaving more and more voice messages on Sasori's phone.

--------(blAck bIrd)--------

Shizune had very specific instructions from Tsunade about Sasori: whenever he's on campus, observe him and don't let him catch you. Shizune had stalked Sasori to the old medical building. It had been condemned sixteen years ago, him sneaking into it with a large bag that looked heavily weighted down was suspicious. Shizune, after Sasori had been gone inside for a while, trekked carefully inside and peeked her head around the corner to see Sasori open a room and quickly rush in.

Shizune took one step after another hearing rustling in the room. She looked in and saw Sasori had cleared off a bed and was putting sheets on it. His phone began ringing and he ignored it as he pulled out a medical stand from a closet. It went silent for a second before the ringing started again.

"Stop ringing, I'm busy right now." Sasori hissed at his phone. Shizune was slightly confused and quickly left. She exited the building and quickly ran across the field to the Literature building.

Shizune walked in and knocked on Jiraiya's office door. She waited for a minute before Jiraiya opened the door to find just him and Tsunade eating take-out Chinese food. He held the door open more and Shizune walked in hearing it slam behind her. "Can you please tell Tsunade this is still my office?"

"I told you, it's just going to be three more months." Tsunade growled as Jiraiya sat down and just kept quiet. "Shizune, what is it?"

"I was trailing Sasori as you asked. He's in the old Medical building in a room. He's setting up a bed and equipment like he's going to be having someone stay there." Shizune said strongly. "It looks like he brought a lot of his own equipment as well, he went in with a bag and I left when he was making the bed."

"Hm…" Tsunade said and began chewing on her thumb nail. She sighed leaving her thumb be. "We'll keep watch over the building from here; it's visible from the window. Jiraiya, can you keep watch?"

"Why would I keep…" Tsunade leaned foreword in the desks chair, her boobs draping on the table so he could see the curvature through her shirt. She then made a pleading expression he got to after a minute. "Yeah, I can do that."

"Thank you." Tsunade chimed as she pulled away the desk and covered herself up. She quickly turned to Shizune and smiled. "Works every time. So, could you make any conclusions about it?"

"No, but his phone kept ringing. He ignored it saying he was busy. I think whomever he's prepping the bed for, it's urgent."

"Right. We'll keep an eye out." Tsunade nodded to her and began back at her meal. Shizune left quietly and walked out the building and watched as Sasori left the old medical building and went to his car to grab more equipment. 'Should I be worried for someone?'
