Malicious (Ch. 9 up!)

Damn, 1000+ hits! Talk about feeling the love! Here's the next chapter; it's bit OOC, as far as Sasuke and Kakashi's concerned, but it was during a conversation they had, and the sensei was merely voicing his concern. I think this one's a little longer, but it also focuses on who Itachi has his hooks into now... Hope you likes! EM


Ch. 4


Kakashi felt that he had to talk to Sasuke; he noticed his reaction to what the Hokage told him. As they covered the area in the opposite direction from what Sakura and Naruto took, he decided to ask him.


“Why do you think your brother’s doing this?” he asked.


Sasuke’s mouth was a tight line. “I dunno; maybe he’s just fucking with us, that’s more his damn style.”


“You sure he’s not doing this to get to you?” the silver-haired man asked.


Sasuke landed on the roof of an abandoned apartment building, Kakashi landing behind him. The sun had gone down, painting the sky in gold and reds, and the summer breeze ruffling their hair. The young man shoved his hands in his pockets.


“Or maybe, his sick ass is telling me he wants me…”


“Wants you? For what?” Kakashi asked. He had an odd feeling about where this was going. “There’s more to you two’s past, isn’t there?”


Sasuke turned to face him. “You’ve always known how strange he was, everybody did. I used to beg him to train me after school, but he never would. I used to love him, back then, looked up to him. Even though I’d pester him, he would still smile at me from time to time. But then his interest in me…took a wrong turn.”


“Shit…”


Sasuke smirked cruelly, snorted. “Yeah, he used to molest me sometimes. But my sick ass allowed it, because that was the only time he paid any attention to me…I didn’t like it, but all I wanted was for him to notice me. That’s some sick shit, huh?” Tears started to roll down his face. “And after all the things I let him do, short of…you know...he still did what he did! And to see him do this in our village now, it makes me want to kill his ass more!”

Kakashi turned him pulled him into a hug, and he let his pupil pull cry onto his chest.


“It’s okay; it’s not sick, okay? You really cared for him, and you were willing to do whatever it took to get him to acknowledge you. I’m sure what he did really confused you, and the act he committed against your clan made you think that he betrayed you.”


He felt the boy’s hands slide up his chest, rubbing his eyes.


“But please, don’t go on this ‘revenge’ tangent again, Sasuke. I like seeing you happy; we all do. Your boyfriend has made you change for the better; don’t break his heart with this. Don’t let your hate mess with that seal on your shoulder, okay?” His hands slid down the boy’s waist, and using one of them he lifted his chin so he could look into his dark eyes. His eye crinkled in a smile. “Okay?”


Sasuke sniffed, smiling. Looking up at his sensei, he stood up on his toes and surprised him by giving him a kiss on his mask where his lips would be.


Kakashi was genuinely flustered. His blush was even creeping over his mask. “What was that for?” This was so out of character, especially for the teen in front of him.

Sasuke turned around before his own blush crept over his own face. “For listening,” he said simply.


“Uh, yeah…you shouldn’t tease your elders, you know; I’ve noticed that both you boys have been doing that flirt thing lately.” Kakashi smirked. “You’re gonna receive some unwanted attention. Come to think of it, I’ve noticed that most of the guys are doing that. Why is that?”


“It doesn’t matter, as long as you know who you’re going home to,” the raven haired teen purred, giving him a sultry look. "Besides, I think you like you play a bit, too. I've seen how you've looked at Sakura, and at us, when you thought we didn't notice."


“How did you know that I was—“ the silver-haired jounin started to say…


It was then that they heard Sakura’s voice over the radio.


They rushed toward the coordinates she gave them, and what they saw and heard sent a chill down their spine.
“Why the fuck is he calling for niisan?” Sasuke spat. “What the hell did he do to him?”


“I don’t know, but we have to get him to the hospital; his left kidney’s pretty much gone, no matter how much chakra I’ve poured into it. But at least I slowed the bleeding,” Sakura said. “Let’s go!”


Kakashi helped Naruto carry the young man’s body over the rooftops, because they didn’t want to cause a scene.


When they arrived at the hospital, they took the latest victim from their arms.


Tsunade saw the man on the stretcher. “Damn, another one. ANKO!”


A female ANBU with a snake mask appeared out of nowhere next to her.


“Yes, Hokage-sama?” she asked.


“This one just came in, they just found him. Have you patrolled outside the village yet?”


“No ma’am, we just finished with the walls, we were about to.”


“Well then, get out there! I know that bastard’s somewhere close by!” Tsunade snapped.


“Ma’am!” Anko said and disappeared.


Kakashi was impressed; he knew Anko Mitarashi for a long time. She was one of the strongest female ninja out there in the field, next to Shizune. But Anko was much more aggressive. She felt she was wasting her abilities being an examiner, so she took the rigorous tests for the elite ranks, and got it. Shizune was a fine jounin in her own right, and could easily be an ANBU as well. But she turned it down, saying that she needed to keep close eye on her friend.

Tsunade turned to the jounin, frowning.


“Do you have an explanation as to why he’s calling out for Itachi?” she asked.


“Who knows what that sick bastard did to him?” Naruto hissed. “Sensei, let’s go, we need to get back out there!”


The others smiled.


“I couldn’t agree with you more,” Kakashi agreed.

******

Anko and three others, males, were zipping along the tree branches. It was dark already, but they had no trouble with their night vision. She motioned them to stop, and they did.

“We need to split up; you three, east, west, and south,” she barked, pointing at each one respectively. “I’ll head north.”


“B-but Anko-san, it’s dark now, we shouldn’t split up—“ said one in a hawk mask.


“No buts! That way, we’ll cover four directions at once, and get the patrolling over with.” The other two, one in a crow mask, the other in a cat mask, nodded. They knew better than to argue.


“Yes, ma’am!” they all split up in their assigned directions.


Itachi was resting high on a branch, about a mile and a half away, fifty feet off the ground. He had decided to leave the village for some fresh air. He sensed someone coming, and he toned down his own chakra levels to hide. Shortly after, he saw a female ANBU zip past him. He noticed she was wearing a snake mask. He smiled.


‘Anko-san,’ he thought. ‘at least they have one person worthy of being a member.’ Then he frowned.


‘Did she have to wear a snake mask?’ he sighed. Anko was a former student of Orochimaru, after all. It was even rumored that she had an affair with the creepy snake-summoner while she was a student, until he pulled the stunt he did that caused him to become a missing-nin like himself.


She loved the man, but she loved Konoha more, and even though she had his seal on her, identical to his brother, she stood against him. He grinned. He used to have a crush on her, one of the few females he might have been interested in, if it weren’t for the age difference.


“This might be fun,” he murmured. He set off after her.


Anko had traveled at least four miles straight out, and a mile and a half on each side of her path. She hopped down to the ground. Tapping the headset radio in her ear, she called out to her teammates.

“Is every thing clear in your directions?”

“Yes.”

“Yup.”

“Nothing here.”

“Okay, it’s all clear here, too. I’m on my way back; meet me at the main gate.”

“Yes Anko-san.”

She tapped it off, and started out running. About three miles from the village, she heard a low voice purring:


“Hi there…Anko-chan…”


Feet slid on the ground from her sudden stop. She whirled around. “Who’s there?! Show your self!” She felt a warm breath on her neck.


“You smell nice,” Itachi purred from behind.


Anko whipped out her kunai, and spun around; Itachi leapt out of the way, turning in a half-flip beside her.


She was stunned. ‘Fuck,’ she thought, ‘It’s him!’


“About time you brought your ass out,” she said aloud. “Why are you doing this crazy shit?” she growled.


Itachi stared at her from over the collar of his Akatsuki cloak with half-lidded eyes. In the dark, the only thing the woman could see was the top half of his face; the rest was behind the collar and heavy bangs. At least his sharingan wasn’t activated, she thought. He slowly opened up his cloak, and opened it, revealing a well-built chest behind a black mesh shirt, and tight, black pants that showed off muscular legs.


It was a good thing Anko had her mask hiding her face, or he would’ve seen that her mouth was dropped. When she realized this, she quietly closed it.


‘Damn, those Uchiha boys sure know how to grow up nicely,’ she thought. ‘Too bad this one has some serious-ass issues, even if he is younger than me…’


The young man threw his cloak aside, and smiled. “I’m making up for lost time,” he said. “You’re awfully quiet, there, Anko-chan. Like what you see?”


“Don’t call me that! You don’t know me!” she yelled.


The raven haired menace shrugged. “Of course we do; the Akatsuki know everything…that, and I remember you growing up. I thought you were hot then, too. You’re one of the few women that might be worth my time, beside the Hokage and her friend, but then, little brother’s friends look nice, too.”


The ANBU female found herself blushing under her mask.


“We even know you followed Orochimaru for awhile, even had an affair with him. Even though you can’t stand him now, you still love him; why else would your ass wear a damn snake mask?”


“….”


“But then, if I had that long tongue servicing me, I would be loyal, too,” Itachi smirked nastily.


That did it. Anko growled, rushing towards him. “FUCK YOU!!!” she yelled.


She flew to him with her kunai drawn. He dodged her jabs, blocked all of her kicks. He laughed.


“Don’t fuckin’ underestimate me!”


“One thing I do miss about being an ANBU; those outfits were nice, on the right person. They don’t hide a thing—“ he dodged several shuriken—“--male or female. Even as young as I was, I couldn’t decide if I liked the men or women more.” He didn’t notice the throwing needles until it was nearly too late. two zipped past his cheek, one of them skimming it, leaving a small cut on it. Then, she appeared behind him, and he froze. He was surprised by a wet sensation on his cheek; Anko licked the blood from his wound.


“I’ve always liked the sight of blood. Who would’ve thought a crazy bastard could taste so good…” she purred in his ear.


“BITCH!”


He grew hot, and spun around to punch her, but it was too late; she was gone, and she appeared before him, about ten feet away. Touching his cheek and bringing back blood, he grinned. Chills ran down the woman’s spine when she saw his eyes turn red, his sharingan activated. But keeping her cool, she placed her hands on her hips.


“Hmph…you better watch yourself, bitch, teasing a guy like that…you might find yourself with something you don’t want!” he hissed.


Anko laughed. “You don’t have anything I want, little man—“


Itachi growled, teeth bared.


“—besides, unless you have some snakes on you to make things fun, I have no interest.”


“Oh, I see,” Itachi said. “I heard the old man liked to use snakes in his foreplay…damn, you’re a true closet freak, aren’t you? I’m willing to bet you have some for pets at home, and you ‘play’ with them on your downtime.” He licked at the blood streaking down his face.


That stuck a nerve. She had four small pythons at home. Yeah, she used them sometimes, but that was her business. They were better than any vibrator in her book. She slowly reached into her weapons pouch.


Itachi let loose a sexy, dangerous smile. Okay, time to stop playing and wrap things up. He found the ANBU member he wanted to play with. He dodged a slew of flying needles, and with his eyes, he saw that she had chakra on them to control them. He was gone in a flash, too fast for her to follow, and before she could even look around, she felt a thick forearm tight around her neck, lifting her head. She saw the needles racing towards them, and she was being held in front of them. With all her will, she brought them to a halt, within inches of her neck and chest. She let go a sigh of relief as they fell to the ground.


That was too close.


She felt her mask being lifted off of her face. “Now, now, that wasn’t fair, Anko, guiding needles to hit me and shit….but at least you stopped them from killing yourself. I wouldn’t have seen that.” He whispered in her ear, lips grazing.


“You’re a fuckin’ lair! You know you saw that! Why else are you behind me?”


“To do this…” he flicked his tongue in her ear, sucked on her lobe. He smiled as he felt her legs buckle slightly. He saw the curse seal on the back of her neck. He licked his wet tongue there as well.


“Stop…why are you doing this?” tears were starting to streak down her cheeks. She was beginning to get scared.


“Like I said, to make up for lost time; I mean, com’on, growing up all I did was train, and fought for the village, even for the organization. I never had a chance to do anything.” He said as his hands slid down her chest, her hips. “From the sound of things, you haven’t had any, either.”


“Shut the hell up,” she said, voice cracking.


“Now, I don’t have any snakes for you,” he said as he forced her to turn around, “but I have something better—it’ll blow your mind…”


Anko couldn’t help but stare, frozen in place, as the three dots in his eyes turned into three wide blades, spinning. Her arms fell to her sides, vision filling with red….


She found herself naked, standing in a red and black bedroom, the only colors she could see. She tried to cover herself, but something was holding onto her arms.


“W-Where am I?” she cried.

“You’re in a different dimension, on my playing field.”


She was turned to see Itachi standing behind her, nude. She couldn’t stop staring at his muscular body. Fear took over when she realized she was trapped in his Grasping Moon.


“You’re gonna torture me, aren’t you?” she asked, quivering. Then she felt something familiar. She looked down….


….and saw snakes, crawling their way up her legs.


She looked back up. The Uchiha was right in front of her, staring into her eyes.


“Yeah, with pleasure. Like the snakes?”


“Yes…” she breathed as one of them eased in between her folds…


Outside, Itachi smiled. The woman’s face was in pure bliss. “Now to take you back…you’re gonna be a fun playmate…”


Taking her into his arms, he headed back to the village.
