Chapter VI
It’s A Consented Transfer


(Part I)
I’m not afraid of changing, Sasuke


Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be someone you can tell no one about? It’s not an easy road. Itachi was more than one person he couldn’t reveal to anyone. At home, with Sasuke he was the loving brother who was a special agent undercover trying to protect the secret of technology that was forbidden and turned into a memory cell which could be planted or removed from a human with the click of a remote. At school, or work he was someone he couldn’t reveal to be either. He was balancing being an agent behind his brother’s back and someone who loved his brother behind the agency’s back. He found it hard and stressful to keep so many secrets so he just closed himself off from everyone.

He stopped talking to Sasuke so much for fear that he would say something he shouldn’t. He refused to work with a partner so he wouldn’t spill about his feelings for Sasuke like he’d done to his friend, who was now dead. Itachi didn’t know what to do to keep himself calm while he was alone. He beat himself up about not telling Sasuke about his real job but those were the rules.

If you told, the both, or all of you died. Itachi couldn’t do that and he was certainly only doing this to protect the fact that he was in love with his brother. If he tried to live a normal life where he got up and did a desk job all day then he would probably explode with rage and insanity. So he hide behind his fake job and his schooling was actually done at an academy no one knew existed.

No one ever bothered to talk to him there either. Itachi kept to himself all the time. When he was assigned a partner he immediately didn’t trust the man. Itachi could see right through him and they went about training as if the other wasn’t even there. They hated each other but they had no grounds for a transfer of partnership. Itachi kept his mouth closed and the other guy talked and talked but Itachi never listened. All his did was boast about how beautiful his wife was and how many kids she was popping out and still keeping her figure. They’re job was to get rid of those criminals that the Japanese police couldn’t catch for the first year.

After the second year Itachi was promoted and his partner wasn’t. The man whined when he found out that someone 5 years younger than him had gotten the second lieutenant position. Itachi took advantage of this and relieved himself of his partner, on the grounds that he could do anything he wanted. But when things started to go downhill and he was framed for two unrecorded deaths, Itachi fled. He couldn’t think of any way to clear his name and all signs pointing to him. His only concern was Sasuke getting caught, so he left. And what he didn’t know was that his ex partner followed him.


(Part II)
I don’t know why I fight for you this way, Sasuke


Waking up on the floor next to the couch in Haku’s living room was hard on his back. Sasuke rolled over on the hardwood floor and reached for his watch. He’d been back and forth between his room and Haku’s apartment for two days gathering things. His apartment was under renovation and he wasn’t allowed in for another three days. He didn’t understand why vacuuming up some glass and replacing the carpet in his room was going to take a week but he ignored it. He had bigger problems to deal with, like the sleeping body on the couch above him.

Sasuke sat up and took a deep breath. It had been two long and stressful days since that confusing ‘bath’ he and Itachi had shared. They still hadn’t done much talking to each other. Itachi was a lot more quiet than he had ever been and Sasuke didn’t know how he’d convinced Itachi that they were lovers. Still, Itachi wanted very little to do with Sasuke and he often left the complex to wander around the neighborhood. Sasuke would follow a ways behind him, thinking he was being conspicuous but Itachi knew he was there.

They were a mess together. Sasuke thought that their passed relationship had been horrible since Itachi wouldn’t touch him but now he wasn’t even talking to him. He didn’t know if Itachi was going to gain his memory back or not but he knew he missed his brother. He couldn’t stand that Itachi wouldn’t look at him. He couldn’t handle all the voices in his head telling him he was wrong. He didn’t understand why this was even happening. As if him and Itachi didn’t have enough problems already.

Sasuke got off the floor and headed to the bathroom. It was late afternoon and he was only awake because he’d heard Haku leave for school. He was going to have to leave for his own class soon but he didn’t know if he wanted to leave Itachi behind. His brother was managing well on his own. Going back and forth to work and tried a few classes. Itachi seemed to be doing better than Sasuke had initially gave him credit for. Sasuke shouldn’t have anything to worry about but after nearly losing Itachi he didn’t want to leave me alone anymore. He would have to have more than a nervous break down if Itachi were to end up missing, or worse…dead.

After Sasuke was in the bathroom with the door closed Itachi rose from the couch. He didn’t want Sasuke to know but he had been awake for a really long time. He spent most of the morning thinking about how this was all going to work out. He had half a mind to just leave and not come back but what good was that going to do for him? He was really confused about a few things. He didn’t know what he’d done to get himself beaten up. He forgot, or couldn’t remember who had instructed him to get rid of Sasuke. Then, he didn’t know why he couldn’t go through with killing the boy. Surely Sasuke didn’t mean that much to him, did he?

-----

Sasuke changed in the bathroom after he took a long uninterrupted shower. Usually it would be Haku to bust in and ‘pretend‘ to brush his teeth or comb his hair. Sasuke thought he was in the clear when he stepped out of the shower in a towel to hear someone knocking on the door. He looked up at the ceiling and rolled his eyes. He was sure Haku had left and there was no one else in the house that could possible-

The door creaked open and Itachi stepped in slowly. He left the door wide open and watched the steam from Sasuke’s shower exit the small room. His eyes turned to Sasuke’s and then traveled down his bare chest. Sasuke jaw clenched and he turned his face away as he blushed. Itachi looked him up and down once more before he opened the medicine cabinet and grabbed a bottle of Advil. He started walking out and Sasuke had half a mind to stop him but he didn’t know what to say.

“Itachi?” Here goes his chance. “Are you feeling okay?” Sasuke slapped himself mentally. Of course Itachi wasn’t feeling okay, he had a bottle of drugs didn’t he? The older brother just stopped. He didn’t say anything and he shook his head and then started walking again. Sasuke closed the door and then proceeded to pound the wall with a few power punches. He was actually going to getting sick of saying stupid things like that. It wasn’t helping their relationship develop at all. Although Sasuke wasn’t really the one messing things up. He was trying to fix them with the broken sentences.

Sasuke kicked himself again and again. Why was this so freaking hard? He had been living with Itachi for years. They had shared a bed for an entire year. They had kissed each other, even made love to each other. Why couldn’t he just talk to his brother/lover like he used to?

-----

Sasuke was fully dressed and walking into the living room now. Itachi was waiting in the kitchen with a cup of coffee and his other hand in his pocket. He was dressed in a white button-down shirt and some black slacks. His shirt was un-tucked and his tie was loosely hanging around his neck. He looked at Sasuke as he walked in and seemed distant. The boy was wearing basically the same thing as his brother. A gray button-down shirt and some black slacks –minus the tie-

Itachi put down his mug when Sasuke walked in the kitchen and pulled the refrigerator open. He watched Sasuke bend over and pull a bottle of water out. The younger boy closed the frig and went into the cabinet for a granola bar. He gathered up his backpack and started heading for the door.

“I’ll need to drop you off at work so I can borrow the car since I have an interview after class.” Sasuke didn’t say much else as he pulled the door open and started walking out. Itachi didn’t say anything either as he grabbed the keys and headed out after Sasuke, closing the door and locking it behind him. He traveled down the stairs careful not to walk to closely behind his ‘lover’

They reached the car and Itachi stared at Sasuke as he stood near the driver’s door. “I’ll drive. You can have the car when I leave.” He touched Sasuke shoulder to turn him around and then push him away. Sasuke felt the contact and shivered. It had been awhile since Itachi’s hands had been on him, either on accident or on purpose – and he missed the touch. He shook his head and grumbled as he walked to the other side of the car.

-----

In their usual spots -Sasuke looking out the window and Itachi thinking to himself- they drove quietly. Sasuke watched him out of the reflection on the window and wanted to say something. This was really getting old. If they didn’t start talking soon then he was going to have a fit and explode.

As they pulled into the parking lot of Itachi's job Sasuke sighed at yet again another conversation-less encounter between them. He wondered if he was ever going to be able to say Itachi’s name again without having to pause and thinking about what to say next. He was so absent minded that he didn’t see or hear Itachi turn the car off. The older Uchiha stared out the windshield and took a deep breath.

“Good luck with your interview, Sasuke.” He said and quickly got out of the car. He walked around the front of the car and started heading up the sidewalk to his building. Sasuke just stared in amazement. He wanted to smile at the little bit of progress but he couldn’t. He was going to be late if he waited any longer. He slid over into the driver’s seat and adjusted the steering wheel to his level of comfort. He was just about to turn the car back on when the passenger door opened and Itachi jumped back in.

“Huh did you forget something-“ He was hushed as Itachi leaned over and kissed his cheek. Sasuke’s face filled with embarrassment. He was even too afraid to look over at the other. That problem was fixed when Itachi moved as close as he could in the seat and turned Sasuke’s face around. He stroked the side of Sasuke’s face and subconsciously licked his lips. He moved slowly but eventually Sasuke’s lips were caught upon his. Neither of them moved but Sasuke swore to himself that he hadn’t squealed when he felt those lips glide across his. When Itachi pulled away Sasuke’s eyes remained closed for a second. Then he ruined the moment by frowning. Itachi saw his confusion and tried to smile but it wasn’t a reassuring smile.

“It’s only natural that I kiss you before you run off and do something important without me. It symbolizes as luck for lovers. I’m not exactly sure how close we were before but I can at least try and be who you want me to.” He moved away and got ready to leave again.

“Itachi…”

“Be careful Sasuke. I have this eerie feeling that something is going to happen to you. I’m almost afraid to leave you alone. I may not remember anything about you but if something were to happen to you, I’m not sure I would survive.” He got out of the car and shut the door. He looked at Sasuke through the window and then turned around to head up the pavement. Sasuke watched him leave again. He couldn’t believe the numb feeling on his lips. He hadn’t begged for that kiss, hadn’t even expected it. Itachi moved all on his own and in public –not that anyone was watching – but still. Sasuke smiled like a goofy little kid and started the car. All this waiting was paying off after all.

-----

“Uchiha Sasuke?” A man in a very green shirt was sitting behind the counter in a very large building. Sasuke was sitting in a waiting room with six or seven other people. All of them were shaking nervously with papers in their hands. He’d been paying them very little attention at first but then someone walked out of the door they were all waiting to go in. The man –fully adult- was practically near tears. This made Sasuke nervous as well and he sat –not shaking- with the other awaiting people.

He stood up when he name was called. He had been filling out an application and the clipboard he was holding was placed on the desk in front of the man in green. The so-called receptionist took the clipboard and looked it over carefully. He took the papers off the board and then stamped them. Pulling open a small drawer he took a small card out and signed it. He handed it to Sasuke and then boy looked a bit sheepish at the little card.

“Signature.” The man nodded and picked up the phone at his desk. “Kidomaru at desk five sir. Yakushi-san, your request is all finished and I will be sending him in now.” The man nodded even though the other person on the phone couldn’t see him. “Yes he is sir. I know sir. I understand but there are still six candidates. No I’m not questioning your word sir. Yes I heard you sir.” The phone was abruptly hung up on the other end. Kidomaru stood up. “If you’ll step aside for a moment.” He said to Sasuke. The boy moved over and held the card in his hand.

“You can all go home now. Doctor Yakushi-san has chosen his intern.” The room was filled with a bunch of sighs and few curse words. Sasuke watched the people in the room pick up their things and begin to move out of the building. Sasuke turned back to Kidomaru and raised an eyebrow. The man in green was yawning as he typed in a few things on the computer in front of him. Sasuke just stood quietly. He was sure that the man hadn’t implied he leave as well.

Sasuke stood at that desk for ten whole minutes before Kidomaru stood up and handed him some more papers. He hadn’t said anything to Sasuke but he kept looking over at him. It was making Sasuke really uncomfortable. He really wished Itachi had come with him. Damn his brother for making him act like an adult at a time like this.

“Uchiha Sasuke

DOB-July 23

The man looked back up at him after reading off the computer. “Is all that information correct?” He looked at Sasuke and seemed tired or agitated. He looked back down after Sasuke nodded. He handed Sasuke another card and stood up. He walked around the desk and motioned for Sasuke to follow him.

“Congratulations, Yakushi-san has picked you to spend your semester interning here. You’re going to follow him everywhere and do absolutely everything he tells you to. He’s the most important and helpful doctor in all of Konoha. You’ll get a desk downstairs to work on anything he deems fit. This internship is going to be treated as schooling. Anything advised to you, listen to it. I interned here for three months and now I’m a full fledged nurse but only because I took my job seriously.” They stopped at an elevator. “Fourth floor room 102. Pay no mind to his rudeness. He’s a busy man. Answer him as sir, always. You’ve got an advantage, he likes you already.”

Sasuke stepped in the elevator and nodded. ‘Fourth, 102, yes sir. Don’t forget it Sasuke. You can do this. He likes you, keep calm. You already have the job. Fourth, 102, yes sir.’ Sasuke pushed the number four button in the elevator. The door began to close but Kidomaru stopped them.

“One more thing, Sasuke.” Kidomaru grinned. “ First impressions are never the last with Yakushi-san but smile huh. You look like you just lost your brother or something.” He moved back.

‘If you only knew.’ Sasuke growled to himself as the door closed. He leaned back against the wall and took a deep breath. ‘Meet the guy, get your shit and go home. Don’t lag, don’t talk, and don’t breathe. Nod, say “yes sir” and get the hell out.’ Sasuke closed his eyes as the soothing elevator music seemed to slow time down for him.

Itachi was roaming the halls of his job. It was his break and he didn’t think he could bear to sit in another seminar. He walked out onto the balcony of his building and sipped on a paper cup of hot tea. The weather hadn’t been so warm lately and he was thankful for the heat from his drink. He stood leaning over the railing. Down below him the patients of his hospital were having lunch. He briefly wondered what Sasuke might be up to but a shadow behind him brought his thoughts to a halt.

Itachi didn’t turn around as his hair gently blew in the wind. He could almost feel an evil growing behind him. The intruder on his lovely break was walking closer. Itachi just kept calm and stared off into the distance. He didn’t seem to be afraid, after all he still had things to take care of. There was no way his partner and that ‘mysterious’ man would harm him. Not just yet they wouldn’t. According to them, he was the only one who could get close enough to Sasuke so he could get the-

“Itachi.” The voice was more hushed than he had anticipated. “What are you doing here?” The breeze blew passed the two and Itachi finally turned around, having recognized the voice. Neji stood in front of him. His hair was hanging over his right shoulder and his eyes were a little more sad than they usually were. Itachi relaxed –not that he was really tense – when he realized he was in no immediate danger. He turned back around and continued to watch the people below.

“I work here.” He answered, something he hadn’t really been doing much lately. Neji walked over and leaned on the railing next to him. Itachi couldn’t imagine why Neji was here but then again he really didn’t care. In fact, he didn’t know why he was here himself. All his concern for the well-being of unstable hospital patients had left him once he found out that he was supposed to be killing his ‘lover’ with his own hands.

“I couldn’t imagine why a guy like you would be here.” Itachi said. Trying to distract himself from his own mind.

“I’m visiting someone.” Neji said softly. He looked away and put his hand over his eyes to shield them from the sun. He breathed as he began to watch the people in the grass move around slowly. Itachi looked over at him. Now that he thought about it more, there was someone here that resembled the Hyuuga very much.

“A girl?” Itachi asked. He was looking through the people in the yard to find the one that had eyes like the boy next to him. Neji looked as well. His eyes searching through the groups of people at each table.

“There…” He said and pointed to a girl at a table all to herself. She wasn’t eating and she looked extremely scared and alone. “Hinata, my cousin.” He said carefully biting his lip. He didn’t say anything for awhile. He was probably contemplating why she was here or how he could get her out. Several moments passed and Itachi didn’t say anything. He dealt with patients and their families everyday. They never really wanted to talk about their relatives being in a mental health center.

“She means a lot to me.” Neji said, smiling down at her. “The only one in my family to accept that I loved Gaara. She adores him, and he loves her.” Neji got quiet again and Itachi looked over at him. “A year and a half ago so was kidnapped and raped, gone for a week. Whoever had her didn’t beat her or harm her but they did something to her mind. She can’t remember a thing…she can’t remember me. She gave birth to a baby boy a while back. I’m sure you’ve seen the baby around. They awarded the hospital custody since the father was murdered. She doesn’t even remember Kiba and she forgets she has a son. I try every week to get the courts to let me take him in. They refuse because of my life style. If I could just get her to remember me then-“ A loud bell sounded and the people below them started walking back into the building.

Neji looked at Itachi and the Uchiha turned to him. Neji’s eyes narrowed a bit and he seemed confused as to whether he wanted to ask his question or not. Itachi never took his eyes off of him. He was waiting, he knew Neji was thinking the same thing he was.

“Those people who took you, how’d they make you only forget Sasuke? You know who I am perfectly well and we knew each other all of two days. You’ve known Sasuke for years I assume. Yet you don’t seem worried that he’s gone from your memory.” Neji shook his head like the whole thing was giving him a bad headache. Itachi thought about the question and everything Neji had said. Did he even have an answer?

“I’m waiting.” The Uchiha said smoothly. “I’m told that I was very much in love with Sasuke. If I am, then I’ll remember. I can only wait, can I not?” He threw his empty cup away and started walking. “Much like your cousin. You said she loved you so all you can do is wait. You never totally forget the people you love. She’ll remember and so will I.” He turned back around. “Neji, Gaara has been distant lately. Take a night off and ask him why. I would hate for you to have two people in here to visit.” Itachi turned on his heel and took to the door. He left Neji with a worried look on his face.

-----

“Ah, Uchiha Sasuke. Please sit down.” The man with silver hair said. Sasuke took a seat in front of him and tried to remember what he had been repeating to himself in the elevator. The man had his back to Sasuke and was looking out the window. He turned around and smiled brightly. His glasses were big circles and the way his hair looked from the back made him seem old but he was extremely young.

“Doctor Yakushi-

“Call me Kabuto, please.” The man smiled wider and pushed his glasses up on his face.

“Yes Kabuto-sensei, err, sir.” Sasuke would have slapped himself if the man hadn’t started chuckling. He sat down across from Sasuke and took the folder from the boy.

“You were the only once of twenty-four people to pass the internship test with one-hundred percent accuracy. You’re quite skilled Mr. Uchiha. That is why I want you to be my apprentice. You seem to have a strong desire to work in medicine.” He laughed. “You remind me of myself.” He nodded and Sasuke nodded back.

“Well now, I’m not supposed to keep you today so I won’t. I have much work to do and I’m sure you must have things to do as well.” Kabuto didn’t even bother to really look at Sasuke’s papers. “You start in a week. Your training will begin next Tuesday and you’re to be here at 1pm.” He stood up and so did Sasuke.

“Is that all, sir? I thought this meeting was going to be a bit longer.” Sasuke definitely looked like he didn’t know what was going on. Kabuto reached his hand out and shook Sasuke’s hand.

“I trust that I made the right decision. Your teachers back in Kantou had nothing but good reviews about you. You’re an excellent student and a hard worker. I want nothing but such in my doctor’s office. If I even had the slightest doubt about you, you wouldn’t have made it this far.” He lowered his eyes. “Now, go home get some rest and relax. The hard part is over. Now go on, Kidomaru will send you your badge in the mail in a few days.”

Sasuke didn’t know what the hell was going on but he was sure happy to be leaving early. All the stress he was under lately was making his head hurt and he wasn’t really resting properly while sleeping on Haku’s floor anyway. He nodded to Kabuto and left out the door. He hopped in the elevator and exited the building as fast as he could. He was so thankful he didn’t have to take the bus all the way home. He needed some quiet for awhile.

Back upstairs in Kabuto’s office, he was watching Sasuke leave. His phone rang once the boy was out of sight. Kabuto shuddered at the caller ID. but answered despite not really wanting to.

“Yes boss.” Kabuto said, swallowing and trying to sound stable.

-“Did you get him, Kabuto?”-

“I did boss.”

-“What did you find out for me my little pet?”-

“He’s a positive. You were correct on your assumption. Itachi must have been taking chances but he’s a smart one. We couldn’t have never found him if it wasn’t for you boss.”

-“Kabuto, you’re my most prized possession. Do a good job for me and I shall reward you. Watch the boy and if he starts to get suspicious erase his memory. Leave no trace of the work you will put him up to. Erase everything, leave no trace of his meddlesome brother. Have I made myself clear, Kabuto-kun?”-

“Yes boss.”

-----

Sasuke knocked on Haku’s door but no one answered. He was appreciative that he would be able to get some rest before he had to go back downtown and pick up Itachi. He pulled the key that Haku had given him from his pocket and stuffed it in the door. He turned the lock and pushed the door open, stepping in quickly and locking himself in. He looked around the living room and kitchen. Haku must have come home and cleaned since the place was spotless and smelled like pinsole.

Sasuke didn’t have the energy to do anything so he threw his backpack near the balcony door and flopped onto the couch. He flipped on the television and yawned as he closed his eyes. Damn him for not having his own car. He could sleep the rest of the day if he didn’t have to pick up Itachi from work.

He was half way into sleeping when the soft knock on the door made him jump up. ‘Dammmmmit no ones home. We’re all dead’ He scratched his head and closed his eyes again. He was going to pretend he wasn’t there. The knock came again, louder this time. Sasuke sat up and flipped off the door before he fall back down and covered his head with one of the throw pillows. The knocking only continued. Sasuke kicked his feet in frustration. He got up and walked over to the door with his fists balled. If it was Naruto he was going to pound him. If it was Gaara he was going to slam the door in his face. If it was Kisame he was going to scream. And if it was anyone else he was going to give them an ear full of curse words no mother would be proud of.

He forceful pulled the door open and wind gushed passed his face. His vision hadn’t been clear when the door first opened but now he could see those eyes and that-

“Hello, Sasuke.”

His eyes grew unbelievably wide and his mouth didn’t know if it wanted to remain open or closed. His heart pounded a million beats per minute and he tried to take a breath. He choked on his own saliva as he tried to swallow. He tried to make sure he wasn’t seeing things but it was clear that this…this! person! was standing in front of him. He thought to close the door but his body wouldn’t move. He was…alive.

“Orochimaru?”
