Brothers In Arms

Rating: PG
Disclaimer: If they were mine this never would have happened
Itachi was looking strangely small where he stood, rain soaking his hair and making his slightly too large cloak cling to his shoulders and arms. Like so many times before, Kisame wondered what he was thinking. The boy always seemed to be brooding over something.
“From here it looks like you’re crying.” He didn’t know what had made him say that, but he might as well finish what he’d started. “I’m sorry about your little brother.”
Kisame half expected to see the red Sharingan flaring at him as Itachi turned his head, but the boy’s eyes were as dark as ever. When he was younger he always freaked out and set fire to something at the mention of his brother, but eventually he’d learned to control that. Until Deidara showed up, that is. Kisame found it amusing that the blonde and the surviving brother could provoke such similar reactions and figured it had probably been good for Itachi. Now they were both gone, though, leaving Itachi perfectly calm and collected.
“No,” the boy said, much to Kisame’s surprise. “He’s not dead yet...”
