PART ONE: MISERY
PART ONE: MISERY
kisame sighed as he just got back from his mission
There was a single light in the entire place, the orange glow of a candle in the dining area.
kisame then followed the orange glow of light from the candle as he walked into the dining room
Itachi was there, slumped over on the table, unconscious, disheveled hair hanging loosely around his face.
"I wonder what he was doing up this late this time..." kisame sighed as he shook his partner trying to wake him up
A hand shot to Kisame's throat, squeezing hard.
"calm down itachi!" kisame said as he grabbed itachi's hand and tried to loosen his grip
That was when he noticed the bottles of saké spread over the table.
"baka...." kisame said as he hit itachi hard on the neck hoping he would knock him out
It did.
"I thought he was going to kill me there for a second!" kisame said as he rubbed his now sore neck
Itachi slowly woke a moment later.
"oh great...." kisame said while rolling his eyes
His hand listlessly reached for one of the bottles.
kisame sighed and grabbed the bottles before itachi could
"Kisame . . . ?"
"What?"
"What are you . . . doing . . . ?"
"im taking the saké away before you get even more wasted...."
"Why . . . ?"
"because we have a mission tomorrow that’s why...."
"I'm not going . . ."
"well, why not?"
"Because . . ." He grabbed one of the bottles from Kisame and finished off the saké that was left in it.
kisame just stared at the bottle that used to be in his hands blankly
After a moment, he spoke again. "Things . . . happen for a reason . . . don't they?"
"I guess .... here then...." kisame said as he handed itachi the bottles back.
"its not my fault if you get a bad hangover tomorrow!"
Most of the bottles were already empty.
kisame shook some of them "you drink fast... well im going to bed now! see you in the morning!"
He grabbed Kisame's cloak.
"now what do you want...."
"Don't leave me alone . . ."
"fine.... I wanted to see your hangover anyway..." kisame said as he took a seat beside itachi
His shoulders shook as he cried quietly.
"whats the matter…?" kisame said as he leaned back in his chair
He didn't answer, crying steadily harder.
kisame sighed once again.
"okay whats the matter itachi?"
"Why . . . Why did she leave me . . . ?"
"nani.... who?"
He didn't answer his question, but continued to spout nonsense about someone leaving him, and also something about a child.
kisame then got up and place a hand on his friends shoulder
Eventually, Itachi had cried himself to sleep.
kisame then sat back down and fell asleep as well
