Chapter 10
Newcomer
“I bet Naruto is having a hayday here...” Kakashi looked around, half amused and half annoyed as he took in the city. They were close and Iruka’s anxiousness had only heightened since Neji’s last call. What he had told them wasn’t surprising but…. “If you wake up their memories...” Iruka looked over and Kakashi shook his head. “We’ve been over this a hundred times already” he sighed in exasperation. “We don’t know how any of them will react but right now our concern is Naruto’s safety. I’m not going to do anything until I know they’re safe.”
They had debated and argued about it the entire drive, he was fatigued as it was anyway. If he got them to remember and a fight broke out between them all he wasn’t sure if he and Iruka would be able to stop it. Besides with Itachi after them…their safety was more important.
“But Neji…” Iruka started and Kakashi shot him a look frowning even more. “Im not surprised Neji has more of inkling of what happened. With his skills he would have been the hardest to make forget.” He shook his head. “Let’s just get there” He finally relented with a little sigh. He just wanted to sit down and read his damn book was that too hard of a thing to do?!
~*~
Lunch had been a deadly quiet affair. Sasuke had vented his frustration on the task of the bathroom and afterword’s made sure he was first to take a damn shower. Sasuke hadn’t looked at Naruto since their bathroom escapade. Though, he had felt the blue eyes on him every so often. His mind was still whirling with the new information. He had been there…he had been experimented on. Itachi had lied. Naruto and he had been very close. Very close.
He had to have known the rest of them right? His eyebrows furrowed a moment. He pushed away the paper plate and leaned back against the wall. His eyes closed as he focused on what memories had been pulled out because of the close contact. Why did it take that kind of thing for him to remember?? They all knew now too...but no one could remember him being there. None of them except Naruto. Why!?
Itachi. Why did his brother’s name come up with that thought, and If he had been there, had Itachi been there? His lips pulled downward even more. Did that mean his brother had been experimented on as well?
It had to. Sasuke couldn’t help be reanalyze every mission he had ever been on with his brother. What he could do. It was extraordinary, he could never come close to his brothers skills. Not that he didn’t push himself…and it rankled him to no end. Now it made sense. It was like a missing piece in the puzzle he had never before been able to find to finish the whole picture.
So. What did that make him? He wasn’t different. He was fast. He was good with his weapons. He knew how to bring down almost any target. He could pull together a strategy for almost any situation. He wasn’t like them though. He didn’t have special abilities. He curled his lip a moment and opened his eyes. Naruto was across the room on floor looking at him. The blond actually flushed. Sasuke frowned even more and finally stood ignoring him.
“I want my weapons” He suddenly stated lifting his eyes towards Neji. It wasn’t an argument, or a request. “I don’t know how long we’re supposed to stay here waiting for your handlers but if we go any further, you’re going to want me to be armed”
Neji‘s eyes narrowed, “No.” He said flatly. “Neji! For once can you just trust a little bit? Maybe having a weapons specialist actually with his weapons might be helpful!” Sakura sighed loudly throwing her hands up in the air.
“I said no.” Neji snapped but Sasuke stepped closer to him. “Itachi’s coming. It might be tonight, it might be tomorrow but he’s on his way. I already told you. I know my brother, and I know how he works. You need me if you want to get out of this alive”
“We don’t need anything from you” Neji frowned, his voice not raising. Sasuke’s eyes narrowed, “If I didn’t know better I would say you wanted Naruto to die” He said ignoring the gasp from Ino. “…oh geeze here we go..” was the growl from Kiba.
“What?” Neji snapped but Sasuke took another step closer to him, opening his palms wide, “Look, I don’t remember everything, and I don’t know why some of my memories are gone but I was there. I was part of this…group. I was with Naruto. I was experimented on, and if I was there my brother was there.” He was face to face with Neji. “I’m the only one that has the knowledge to keep at least half a step ahead of him” His fury was a simmer under his skin. Neji was going to get them all killed.
“You DID something. I know you did. I don’t know what but you are not part of us. I don’t care if you were there, or if your brother was there.” Neji leaned close. “I’m not giving you a weapon so you can shoot us in the damn back”
“I’m NOT going to shoot anyone in the back. If I wanted to hurt anyone I would have done it already, or I would have run. Naruto is his target I’m the only thing that’s going to keep him from getting taken by Akatsuki.” Sasuke sneered.
“Will you two knock it off? Im sick of it!” Naruto snapped stomping over to them grabbing Sasuke’s shirt and pulled him back. Or at least he tried. Neji closed the distance between them the palm thrusting out and slamming into Sasuke’s chest sending him staggering back. “Neji!!” Sakura cried out.
Pain ripped through his chest but so did anger. He felt Naruto’s hands on him having staggered back into him. He yanked out of his grip and within two steps and attacked. They clashed in the middle of the apartment. Sasuke knew instantly getting a palm to any part of him would damage. He could feel it in his chest. He was going to tear Neji apart! His eyes hardened. He jumped back out of the way, those eyes that Neji claimed that could see everything, it didn’t mean he could stop everything!
A palm slammed into his shoulder, his arm going numb to the pressure but Sasuke he was already breaking through. He trapped Neji’s arm and swung him around to the floor slamming him face first into it. He jumped back as the foot swung out. He saw him, a hairsbreadth before it happened. He blocked and smirked elbowing Neji hard in the face. He could SEE it. Those pale eyes widened as Sasuke moved in—
“ENOUGH!” Naruto was between them in a blaze of fury, tearing them apart and throwing them to opposite sides of the room. “FUCKING ENOUGH!” His fiery eyes swung between them both. Sasuke rolled back to his feet, his eyes darting over to Neji a moment before taking in the blond. It was like he was engulfed in some kind of fire…his eyes were red and yellow…there were claws tipping his fingers. He stepped forward carefully. Briefly his eyes once more flickered to Neji. His own were wide and uncertain on Naruto. “Kiba” Neji started, Akamaru let out a whining growl. Naruto snarled loudly his eyes twisting to Neji who froze momentarily. He was losing all control.
“Naruto” he said carefully, the blazing eyes darted to him. The lips curled up and he growled at him. He stepped forward again anyway. “You’re really going to lose control like this Idiot?” He taunted suddenly, the words coming out of his mouth. It did exactly what he thought it would. Those heated eyes pinned to him, Naruto wasn’t looking at anyone else. His chest tightened painfully. He had to get him under control, and damn fast.
“Sasuke don’t!” Sakura eeped but he didn’t dare to look at her. He had his eyes firmly on the blonds. “After all this time, you haven’t learned a fucking ounce of control?” he pressed. That was it. He had Naruto’s full attention, the linoleum cracked under his feet as he came at Sasuke.
“YOOU!!” Came the roar.
Sasuke jumped out of the way from the charge but fuck he was fast! Faster than Neji had been. His arm was still numb. He didn’t need it. Naruto charged at him, the linoleum flying to the claws on his feet and hands. Sasuke ducked, slamming a fist into the ribs. He kicked out sending Naruto back but the claws slid into the ground stopping him from going too far. He was up lighting running at him. Sasuke nimbly hopped back, his head jerking to the side as Naruto’s balled clawed fist went through the wall next to his head. He could see him, he could see his moves a breath before they happened. Sasuke knew he had mere seconds. While the hand was trapped he wrapped around the body like a snake. The free hand came at him and Sasuke grabbed it, twisted it and with his body weight heard the pop and scream from the blond. A breath later he kicked the back of the legs hard sending Naruto onto his knees.
The blond roared but Sasuke had him in a headlock, Naruto’s clawed arm yanked free but his other was useless and limp. Sasuke’s mouth was against the ear. “Easy.” He whispered, panting hard as Naruto struggled. He was so strong. He was so damn strong. Claws raked at his arm, sides and leg. He ignored the blood that welled and dripped, he ignored the burning pain. He ignored his thundering heart and the agony in his chest. If he couldn’t get him to calm down now he was going to have to start the fight all over. “Easy. Naruto. Easy” he pinned the leg down with his own. “Calm down….you’re not…a monster” The words came out and he knew they were the right ones to say. The body gave a twitch. Naruto growled out loudly.
“Naaruto…you’re…not a monster…breath…”
Naruto’s mad struggling slowed, the body spasmed again. He made a noise between a cry and whine. The breath wheezed out and finally the hand that had been clawing at him dropped. They were both a panting mess on the floor. Sasuke waited until he felt tension leave the blonds body and finally he loosened his grip a fraction from around the neck. Naruto heaved in a bigger breath his head falling back against Sasuke’s. He could see how his eyes were closed but he had lost the animalistic features.
“…that’s it…” Sasuke sighed in relief, releasing him and staggered to his feet. His chest tightened again, blood was dripping from his arm and side but it was Naruto still panting hard that he was concerned with. He hadn’t moved from the spot. Sasuke glanced over his shoulder seeing Kiba and Neji come closer and he made a motion to stop them. He was actually surprised when they did.
He lightly touched the shoulder but a tanned hand grabbed his wrist and the blond lifted his face. He’s never seen so much anguish on anyone’s features before.
“you’re bleeding..” Naruto’s voice was soft. Sasuke shook his head, “It’s nothing compared to getting my face beat in by you” he smirked lightly before sucking in a breath. He stumbled a moment his eyes widening a fraction before he dropped to one knee.
“Neji!” Naruto snarled but it was Sakura who had rushed over, “Put him right here...on the floor…Naruto. Look at me hold him here, with your good arm...that’s…” Her hands moved over his chest and she sent a brief glower towards Neji. “You went right for his heart” She hissed and could see there was not an ounce of guilt on the man’s face.
“Naruto! Don’t get up, I said hold him here…thats it…” She pushed up the shirt and her fingers spread across the pale chest. She took a breath and got to work.
Nearly an hour later Naruto had Sasuke by his things, gauzes and wraps out to take care of the slashes on his arm and side having stripped him out of his ripped up clothes. The mans eyes were half lidded as he breath deeply in a half sleep state.
Neji watched the two and shook his head, he had never seen anything like it in his life. He had calmed Naruto down…with one arm practically! If their fight had progressed would he had been able to beat him?! His brows creased, Sasuke may not think he had gained anything from the experiments but Neji was sure he had.
“Neji...” Kiba started, Akamaru whined loudly. “I know” he snapped under his breath looking away. “If he had…” Neji turned towards him. “I. Know” He gritted out and Kiba swallowed and nodded.
Sakura suddenly clanged the coffee cup onto the counter glaring at Neji. She had needed something after doing what she had to do! Her fingers shook still but she clenched them tightly. She was furious! “That was the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen you do!” She snarled before suddenly stalking over despite Ino’s protests on overusing her abilities. “If he had gotten out…if Sasuke hadn’t stopped him! Besides that!!!” She shook her pink hair really getting into her point. “What were you thinking attacking like that?!You tried to KILL him!” She was ready to pound someone herself!! “You KNEW that attack would damage his heart! You knew one more hit and it would killed him on the spot!!!”
“Kill him? He tried to kill Naruto, or did you forget that detail?” Neji hissed turning towards her but she balled her fists raising one towards him. “He hasn’t tried anything since we brought him, not a damn thing, he’s been calm, and cooperative and has even helped us! With his skills I’m sure he could have disappeared or killed some of us to get away if he wanted to!” She released her balled fists and threw her hands in the air in utter frustration.
“You know how hard it is to repair what you did to him??” Her glower only increased on the other man. Neji had walked away a few steps, his head jerked towards her and he looked at her incredulously. Two steps and he was glaring down at her; “And yet he was able to take down Naruto in under five minutes.” He breathed out to her.
He looked over to the two, their argument was loud no doubt they were listening. His eyes snapped back to Sakura’s, his voice calm and low. “With a single arm. And a blow to his chest from me,” He scowled, and this was something he hated to even admit to her. “If that fight between us had continued…” He paused his jaw clenching a second, “If it had continued, I don’t think I would have won.” He hated the shocked look on her face. “That is a dangerous man. He may not think those experiments did anything to him. But they did. I am sure of it.”
Sakura hesitated, glancing back over her shoulder to the two on the other side of the room. “But…” She started, uncertainty coming over her face. She looked to the others who were watching them. Kiba was shifting agitatedly back and forth, “He saved our damn lives though” He growled, “If he was part of our experimental group then…then he’s one of us…and if you said is true…” Kiba glanced to Ino who scowled, “Im always ready to take him over you know that” She said with a small eager grin. “I can get him talking about anything. You need me to root his mind…Im game.”
Sakura waved her hand a moment, “We are NOT doing that. Neji he is part of our group.” She was standing firm on this!
“He is NOT—“ A brrringing noise started and Neji stopped looking towards the phone on the counter. Everyone went still at the noise. At the second ring Neji grabbed it. “No one say a word” He hushed before picking up the phone carefully bringing it to his ear. He didn’t even breathe but his eyes darted to Sasuke at the other side of the room. Both had looked over, Naruto half winding a bandage around the arm. He hung up swiftly.
“Gather everything, as soon as Iruka and Kakashi get here we’re moving on.” Neji said hurriedly.
“What was that?! Who was that?!” Sakura moved over. “Just do as I said!” Neji snapped but another phone went off in the room. Ino went still and looked down in her pocket and looked to Neji. “Don’t.” He whispered but she reached down and pulled it out of her pocket anyway. She hurriedly pressed the ‘end call’ button. “Neji who was it??” She demanded. Neji shook his head, “Just get everything. Come on. We don’t have a lot of time” He ended the argument swiftly. At least he thought he did.
Another phone went off, Kiba blinked and reached for it in his pocket staring at the unknown number on it. “Don’t answer it! Everyone give me your damn phones!”
“But...” Kiba started but his phone was snatched from his hand by Ino who quickly gave it to Neji. The man shook his head. “I’m taking the chips out how the hell he...” He frowned and sent another glare towards Sasuke.
“Who the hell was it?” Sasuke hissed after he yanked on a shirt. He winced lightly but ignored the sensation. What the hell was Neji holding back now?!
Before he could be answered the rest of their phones went off. All at once. “Damn it! Take your damn batteries out!” Neji snarled handing back the emptied phone to Ino. Naruto looked down at the ringing phone and then to Sasuke.
“Was it for him?? Was it his brother?” His blue eyes jerked to Neji, holding up the blinking unknown number. Neji went to grab it but Naruto stepped back. “Just answer the question!” He demanded, “Was it his brother? Is he already here?!”
The only phone left ringing was Naruto’s but when he stepped forward again Naruto took another big step back. “We’re moving out. Now! Gather your things!” Neji turned in disgust away from him barking out the order.
Kiba went to pack the cooler again and Sakura had just grabbed her backpack. Suddenly Kiba and Akamaru lifted their heads towards the door, the dog growling loudly when a knock sounded on it in a slow rhythmic fashion. Everyone went still. Neji took a breath his eyes going wide, the veins popping around them. “Damn. It.” His eyes swung back to Sasuke in a death glare.
Sasuke tensed at the knock and the look he was given. Itachi. He was damn weaponless with his brother on the other side of the door?! Right now escape would be their only option! His eyes swung around. Second story, rusted out fire escape. The knock sounded again, then;
“Stop being a drag...let me in” A bored, tired voice said through the door and Sasuke’s eyes widened. That wasn’t Itachi! He ran over to the door, shoving Neji to the side before he could stop him and yanked it open. He stared at the young man leaning on the opposite side of the door frame. He tiredly lifted his head and yawned. His hand holding the phone pressed the end button and Naruto’s ringing mobile ended.
“About damn time. You know how much of a pain this has been” He pushed inside, the light of the room showing off the purpled bruises along the man’s arms, neck and face.
“Shikamaru.” Sasuke forced the surprised down, he had recognized the voice but seeing the man now in front of him was a damn shock. How the hell had he found them?! He had only met the man face to face once. A long time ago, but it wasn’t like he had changed much. “Real rude group you’re hanging out with Sasuke” Shikamaru tiredly sighed glancing around before letting his shoulders relax, his hands stuffed in his pockets. Sasuke’s eyes narrowed almost suspiciously.
“How?” He demanded. Shikamaru sighed loudly his eyes closing. “Can’t you give a guy a little breather before the interrogations start? Besides…” He opened his eyes glancing around “I haven’t been around a group of freaks like this a long time” He smirked lightly, the bulb flickered a little near him.
“How did you find us?” Neji whispered coming nearer to him and positioning himself defensively. Shikamaru let out another suffering sigh, “Again with the question…it’s a long story anyway” The dark eyes swung around before he nudged the door shut behind him with his foot. “And it’s too much of a pain to tell right now. So let’s just say I’ve been tracking as many freaks as I can since I got out…”
“Got out of where?” Naruto asked suddenly. Shikamaru flickered another smirk, “Well you don’t think that was the only weirdo making facility that snake bastard had did you?” He asked the dancing shadows shooting out from under him ensnaring them all in it. Sasuke’s eyes snapped to Shikamaru as his body was trapped...somehow…he couldn’t move! None of them could! “Shika...maru..” he gritted out glaring at the other. What the hell was this?!
The shadows shook lightly and the man let out a groan and a sigh collapsing back against the wall, completely exhausted looking. Before Sasuke could move Neji was on the man his hand at his collar. “What the hell was that!?” Neji demanded.
Shikamaru sighed noisily, his head falling back, “Well….nothing really considering I didn’t have much juice.…just wanted to prove a point…” Shikamaru closed his eyes unperturbed by the position he was in before he released another breath opening them ignoring Neji completely. “You’ve got bigger problems then me, Kisame, Sasuke. He brought Kisame. Sent him after me…they’re coming and damn soon” Shikamaru didn’t even deign a look at Neji.
~*~
Itachi looked up at the building, his eyes were red and swirling with black. This was it by how eager Kisame was. “I smell them...” Kisame grinned widely, the wrapped up bat swinging lightly in his hand. He licked his lips in a hungry manner. “Im going to devour that shadow fucker..Im going to fucking tear him into nice bite sized pieces and devour him. I want him all to myself…and those girls...You know I haven’t had a girl in such a long time...I bet they taste utterly delicious…”
Itachi ignored him as he moved inside, his eyes taking in the men sitting in front of a door on the bottom level. They twitched captured in his gaze. “They’re still here” He looked away ignoring how one slumped forward blood trickling down his nose. He methodically followed Kisame up the steps. Kisame stomped up ahead, his bad dragging along the wall, even a minor tap against the drywall left cracks and dents. Kisame chuckled in a low manner at the sound of voices coming from inside. Loud arguing voices. “Not even a guard posted…it’s like shooting fish in a barrel” Kisame breathed out his toothy grin only widening. He chuckled deeply. “See I told you Itachi” He hissed quietly moving up to the door. He licked his lips, the voices pitched inside, and such angry voices! Kisame gave a little twirling swing of the bat glancing back at Itachi. The other merely waved a hand. Kisame took one massive swing that sent the door of the apartment splintering and coming off its hinges.
