Was he going crazy...?
After all, who heard voices like this? When fragmenting his soul, had he somehow screwed up his mind? This wasn't - was it all an illusion, because he could hear it, no memory was ever that clear, not even during nightmare week. He supposed he could thank his lucky stars (however few he had to his credit) that at least he wasn't seeing it.
"Let me show you a little magic trick, my sickly-sweet Alphonse-who-couldn't," the Joker purred, his voice practically dribbling with sugar and venom. "You like magic tricks, right? Right? He he he he he ha ha ha heaaa growing boy like you has to like them, I'm sure! Oh ho ho ho ha ha ha he he hehehehehehehehehe."Al tensed when he sensed a flicker of movement, and ( ... )

"Shisui, stop goofing off."
"Don't be so serious about everything Itachi, you're going to get white hairs."Itachi moved as Al swung for his jaw with the crowbar--human eyes could literally not follow his movements. He was behind the blond and catching Al's wrist before the metal could even connect with where he had been. He kicked Al's legs out from under the boy, simultaneously twisting Al's arm up and back, forcing the crowbar out of Al's hand even as he forced the younger boy onto his knees with pressure. Itachi applied force--enough to hurt and to be successful, not enough to do damage. He knew his own strength, and he refused to use ( ... )

There was a loud yelp that could not entirely mask the sickening crack.
Al's first instinct was to slam sideways out of the hold, but the stress on his arm right now, and if he bent it that way, would break it or at least cause the dislocation of his shoulder or wrist. But the man was on his back and had him, and he hadn't been that fast before, had he?! He squirmed like something possessed, no longer caring if his arm was dislocated or broken, every instinct told him get away. Sliding his knees up and his other hand beneath him, he shoved up against the painful knee in his back, but before the stress on his arm became enough to harm it, Itachi's voice broke across his mind, and he froze, body going rigid ( ... )

"Failure will not be tolerated." An old man.
"You understand the consequences if you do not."
For a moment Itachi thought the crack was Al's arm in the present time, and he nearly let go, surprised that that force had done it. But he realized what it really was, kept his hold as Al pressed back against him and struggled vainly. He kept it even as Al went limp in his arms at the sound of a conversation they had had not really all that long ago.
"Al." This would be the third time he called the boy that, the second time in voice. "I am going to let go now, and let you up." Itachi waited half a heartbeat before releasing Al's arm and removing his knee from Al's back.
Instead of standing, Itachi remained crouched at Al's side, one hand pressing lightly to the blond's shoulder, the backs of his knuckles grazing Al's cheek.
"You are coming home with me." Itachi stated, not a question.

"Itachi go make sure Sasuke isn't eating the tomatoes I told him to go fetch."
"Yes mother."The shinobi blinked as Al hugged him, stiff but not resisting. After a moment he wrapped his arms around Al comfortingly, patting the boy's back like he often patted Sasuke's when his younger brother was in one of his more morose moods. The clash of the voices surrounding them both was actually helping Itachi to ignore them, let them drown each other out in white noise ( ... )

Al's voices sputtered into white noise, soft now, as though they had nothing to say for the time being, just snatches of it that came through once in awhile.
"Event..." Al whispered scratchily, his voice sounding like it almost hurt to use, as though he'd damaged something from screaming earlier. He'd almost forgotten, the events... of course. He wasn't going crazy, it was just this place messing with their heads again... he never thought he'd be so glad as to be told something like that, but finally sanity was making a comeback ( ... )

Pretty much the only thing that kept him from going into combat-crouch was the fact that it was Itachi, and he had faith that his brother wouldn't haul in anyone who would trigger him wanting to skewer something. He wasn't on the greatest of terms with the world at the moment, after all. Instead of trying to shock hell out of the intruders he sat up ( ... )

Normally, he would have asked questions about Vincent and possibly where they were going, but the fact that he kept silent more than said just how hard this was hitting him. The lullaby seemed to relax him even if it wasn't a voice he knew, and the only time he moved was when the vertigo hit, and he found himself staring down at the ground, ponytail hanging over his shoulder. He'd seen Itachi walk up walls before, but god if it didn't scare him when he wasn't expecting it. His fingers clenching on the back of Itachi's clothing, he closed his eyes again, and only opened them after Itachi ( ... )
