[pogromanate]

There was no mistake: Itachi’s condition had worsen with naps that only succeeded a few hours every several days, with a diet of nothing but over-sugared tea and ice-cream along with other sweets ( -- And still, if he was questioned, he would have only stated that it was purely for their energy in which he consumed them, not for the pleasant taste. But even that was partly a lie -- ) his skin placid with blue-purple veins visible passed the thin layer of flesh with hollow eye-sockets and pale lips that complimented his now-spidery limbs

Nill hadn’t mentioned anything about Kazama to Itachi since she’d spoken with him over the network, for fear that he simply wouldn’t believe her or that he wouldn’t accept it and just leave. Despite the initial protests Shikamaru and Yosuke had originally made when Nill had expressed her want to search for Kazama down in Abyss, when she inevitably was able to go down with Itachi neither of the boys had been able to say she couldn’t anymore (nothing beat Itachi’s authority, it seemed) so often when Itachi would search for his Kouhai, Nill would be at his side, whether in Abyss or Elysium-though she had often made sure to wear a hooded coat to hide her hair and keep her wings out of sight. Even if she hadn’t been allowed to go with him every time that Itachi had left, she went at least once a week and at the most five or six times. If anyone could see the effects of Itachi's determination and how little he took care of himself anymore, it was her

Waiting out in the corridor with his hands shoved in his pockets, Kazama had been staring blankly at some potted plants and other junk scattered along the hallway. Not so much that it was interesting, but because he wasn't sure what to do with himself. Already, he wondered if perhaps he should have come later. A month in isolation had returned him closer to his original distaste for any sort of company, he had glanced back down to the floor, leaning against the opposite wall as he waited

Even with his own kouhai visible, Itachi made no objections to recoil from the other man. Having his own prickle with faint thoughts of simply fleeing -- to simply apologize that he could not find Kazama beforehand. And yet such a thought was pathetic in his own right. As far as Itachi knew, Kazama was the only one that was not revived from Battle Royale -- and yet he should have known that Kazama would, and could have, been traumatized by that experience. But that did not waver the faith he had for Kazama that the other would come back
