My Man, My Money

The King Tells Some Truth

"This really isn't my story to tell." I mumble. Only getting Naruto to lower his arms to my biceps and grip them even tighter.

"You better start talking if you know what's best for you." He threatened, and sadly I believed it. He was one of the few people that I would believe when it came to threats.

"Itachi has a son." I spill before I think twice, an get the thought of backing out.

His eyes widen and his grip softens. My grip tightens on him as I feel him rock slightly. That's when I realize maybe telling him this while near stairs wasn't the best of things. Then again we are in a hospital...

I begin pulling him along and out of the stair well and down the hall looking for the room Deidara texted. "He wanted me to keep it a secret, wanting very few people to know he had a..." Family.

"Son." Naruto sorta finished for me. I hold his hand squeezing it, as I continue to rush/carry(drag) down the hallway.

I saw Deidara out side the door before I saw the room number. It was almost as if he sensed us, right as I picked up the pace he came dashing over to me. "Sasuke!"

"Deidara, what's wrong?" I ask giving him a reassuring hug as he runs smashing his face into my chest when he sees me. His eyes are red and puffy, his hands slightly shaky, you could clearly see the worry and some fear written all over his face.

"We-N-Naruto?" Of course he notices.

"Do we really have time to be questioning why I'm here?!" He practically shouted at him. Oh yeah, he's pissed. I can see the calm confusion in his eyes had gone away and was now replaced with, irritation  and anger. Keep a secret like this from him was not one of are best moves, I'm beginning to think.

His words bring him back to reality, by then we are at the room. I walk in without a knock or a care, my nephew is in a hospital.

The first thing I hear it the steady beeping noise, soft breathing, it's almost peaceful, relaxing to the fact that he's with us, but that soon changes, quickly.

"Noooo! Daddy! I don't wanna go! I don't want to die! Daddy, no!" His cries of not wanting to die fill the room and shatter our hearts.

"Obito! Obito! You're not gonna die! You are not going to die! Obito, look at Daddy, you're not gonna die, Daddy promises." Itachi speaks in a soothing voice that I remember hearing all the time as kid growing up. Itachi holds Obitos hands trying to get his full attention and to stop thrashing and screaming. The words that Itachi uses frighten me, never make promises.

"B-but Daddy look! There's an angel here to take me! I don't wanna go! I wanna stay here!" He cries tears now falling down his red streaked cheeks, raw from crying before. What had all happened, since I found out? Soon Deidara is there at Obito other side, holding his hand and running his fingers through his hair. Knowing to let Itachi handle this one."Look Daddy, look! He's right there next to Uncle Sas!"

I look over and only see Naruto, he's gripping my hand tightly from behind my back, he's scared, or maybe nervous. I glance over in the corner of my eyes and see, Kakashi, Sasori, Neji all standing back in the corner area of the room. I notice Neji's seated on the couch hands folded, eyes closed most like praying to god none of us believe in. This really can't be good.

"Daddy look! There's a angel! There's a
Angel I don't wanna die! I don't wanna!" Tobi continued to yell, confusing us. Was he hallucinating? "He's behind Uncle! Look daddy! Make him go away! I don't wanna go!"
