Sasuke winced and put a hand to his head. The idiot was only making his hangover worse. "Give me a chance to TALK to Itachi, idiot! Five minutes, that's all I'm asking!"

Itachi blinked, tilting his head a little. How on earth he went from being punched by his brother to being defended was beyond him. Shrugging to himself, Itachi took another drag off of his smoke.

Naruto threw his hands up, "You know what? FINE! Do whatever you want! I'll have the cheif on the phone for you after you get through with your little morning after pleasantries!"
The blonde stomped into the living, knowing he was acting like a cross between a scorned woman, and a small child, but he was too pissed to care. He yanked the phone up and dialed the office, growling into the phone while he let the Uchihas have their 'alone time.'

"...Thanks, for that." He tightened the knot at his hip, making sure the towel stayed in place.

Sasuke sighed, running a hand through his hair and leaning back against the wall. He really should get dressed. "The idiot thinks we screwed last night."

"Is that why he's acting pissy? Well let me assure him that your as innocent as you were when I arrived." Itachi pointed at him with his cigarette laden fingers, "and I didn't kill Kisame.... He was the closest person to me."

"...That's what I wanted to ask you about." Sasuke looked at him seriously. "You swear you're being honest with me?" He wanted to believe that, if he was looking Itachi in the eyes, he'd be able to tell whether or not his brother was lying. And yet he knew that he was being foolish for thinking such a thing. Of course he wouldn't know. That's why Itachi was who he was.

Itachi met his eyes, a crease gathering between his brows. "We would back each other no matter what. I did go to his place, but he told me his own suspicions of Orochimaru, and a few other things that he was trying to do. I trusted his word, so then I came here, to get you to investigate his guards. There was no way I'd kill him. I mean, even if you don't trust me, think of it logically. Orochimaru is making a move to rise to the top of the Yakuza now that Rei-sama is gone. Sasori and I are the only ones in his way, Kisame wouldn't support him if he went against me. I have no reason to kill him."

Sasuke hesitated, then nodded. Itachi had a point. There was no reason for him to kill Kisame, it wouldn't make sense. "...Alright. Then I suggest you get out of here. I'll go talk to Naruto, go out the window in my bedroom. If Orochimaru really is trying to frame you, he'll probably have managed to get some sort of solid evidence that you killed Kisame. If you get brought in now, you might not get out again." Lucky thing his apartment was on the first floor.

"Wait... Those two who I said could verify where I was when Rei-sama was killed? Have the police watch them. Sasori is endager, Deidara would protect him... I'll try to be there as well, but if Orochimaru sent out his little attack dog... Just go there."

"I don't know that I'll be able to," Sasuke murmured, biting his lip and glancing at the door. Damn Naruto and his jealousy. "When Naruto realizes I let you go, he'll probably take me in. But if I tell him all of this, he might do something. I'll have to see."

Itachi brushed the back of his hand over his cheek. "Don't worry about it. Tell him you let me get dressed, and I'll split then. It isn't worth getting you into trouble over."

Sasuke blinked slightly at Itachi. "...Thanks." He reached into his pocket, reluctantly pulling out the necklace and slowly holding it out to Itachi. The action seemed so familiar, mirroring what he had done so many years ago, minus the excited smile and desperate need for his brother's approval.

Naruto spoke on the phone quietly, he wasn't the jealousy blinded idiot that they thought he was. His gut told him something wasn't right, and he'd already had the cheif send officers to surround the house. If that b*****d Itachi tried to knock poor Sasuke out and make a run for it, Naruto had their asses covered.

"Hn... Stealing my stuff again?" He took the necklace then leaned in, kissing his forehead. "Thank you, otouto. Be safe... Watch yourself around the snake."
