Chapter 11
Shadows Story
“All of you! Shut up!” Iruka was pacing the room scowling to the young men and woman. The only ones that had the gall to not look chagrined were Sasuke and Shikamaru. Damn it all. He swung his eyes towards Kakashi who looked about as helpful as a bump on a log. He was itching to pull out that damn book of his, he was sure of it. Briefly his eyes swung to the window taking in the field of wheat lit by the lowering sun. He scowled as Neji approached him.
“Iruka.” Neji started, “We can’t take them with us. They can go anywhere else but they shouldn’t be with us” He had made this argument earlier. More than once. The fact Shikamaru had tracked them here…He knew the man was leading the other two straight for them!
“I’m not going anywhere” Sasuke sneered, “You need me more then you damn well know “
“I said shut up!” Iruka put his hands up glaring at Neji. “Neji. I understand your point of view. I do. But what is done…is done” His glare turned on Sasuke and Shikamaru and shook his head. He already had most of Sasuke’s story. He wanted a fuller telling of it but right now, his eyes slid to Shikamaru. “You...” He pointed to the young man, “Start talking.”
The brunette sighed and hung his head a moment, “really?” He reached up and rubbed the back of his neck sighing noisily before he leaned back against the wall. “I was in the program with a few other kids. Pretty similar to this group…” He pursed his lips, “Orochimaru had a man named Kabuto at our facilities…real sick kind of guy...he really like taking things apart...and putting them back together…and by things I mean people” His eyes darkened but he shook his head. “The real star of the show was this green eyed monster of a kid…Gaara…I don’t know what they did to him but whatever it was it was pretty bad.” Shikamaru glanced towards Naruto for a second. He had his own theories of course.
“Explain” Iruka insisted. Shikamaru looked towards him licking his lips. “It’s obvious they were building groups molded to their needs…they needed a powerhouse…a tracker…a strategist, an interrogator and a healer...” His eyes roved around the group. “Gaara was their powerhouse...Naruto is this groups.” He tongued at a loosened tooth at the back of his jaw and grumbled under his breath. Iruka exchanged glances with Kakashi. “Obviously you two know more about that then I do” Shikamaru hadn’t missed it.
“We were already doing missions…they were already using us” Naruto growled suddenly. “Yes you were..Ive read all the locked up files on the Kyuubi…and his missions” Shikamaru said shaking his head. “Enough.” Iruka barked suddenly, “How did you get out? How have you stayed off the radar so long?” They had considered Orochimaru was ruthless enough to have more facilities, to bring in more children but by that time they had been as trapped as the kids. He had glanced to Kakashi once more, this one knew quite a bit more than anyone else here.
Sasuke scowled suddenly, what didn’t Iruka want him to say? He clenched his jaw, he would wait, he wanted to hear the rest of the story. His black eyes slid towards Naruto, he was tense, despite their closeness this was a different man from who he had been watching. Had all that bravado and confidence really been a façade? Shikamaru was talking again and he dragged his eyes away, “…I flunked out of all their testing. At least to their standards. Kabuto had me on the table so many damn times, he called me a ‘waste of precious time” Shikamaru’s eyes, he felt the wall at the back of his head and he sighed. Damn he was tired.
“So what? They just let you go??” Sakura suddenly asked. Shikamaru opened his eyes though he was staring at the ceiling now. “No. Not with what I knew. They couldn’t risk that. They would have to kill me, but Kabuto wanted my body to study of course” His eyes dropped to see the look of horror on Sakura’s face then glanced to Iruka. “Let’s just say the guard dragging me ended up in the seat with the needle and not me.” The slight smirk that had briefly graced his mouth fell to a flat line. “It had taken me too long though...my plan had been to go back to where they held the others. I couldn’t.” He paused “I ran” His words were bit off as if he hated to hear them and the silence fell around the circle. “Why would you have gone back?” Iruka asked gently, his eyes sympathetic.
Shikamaru huffed but Sasuke broke in. “Why did you find me?” he demanded, his narrowed eyes hardening. He thought he had been the one to find Shikamaru but he had the sinking suspicion it had been the other way around! “Sasuke.” Iruka scowled but Shikamaru waved his hand dismissively. “I haven’t gotten there yet”
Shikamaru ignored the glaring Uchiha. Gingerly he crossed his arms, he winced and shifted a little. “I was 9 when I escaped…so it wasn’t like I had a lot of prospects. I moved from half way house to half way house, got into some underground hacking. I started looking for anything suspicious...weird…anywhere and everywhere…I had to disappear a lot too because it wasn’t like Orochimaru wanted someone like me out on the streets. Obviously he had figured out I hadn’t died”
“Wait...you were 9?! And you...” Iruka halted him again, looking towards Kakashi, it had taken their combined efforts to get these kids out and they were almost adults by the time they had managed it! Shikamaru released an exasperated sigh, “They miscalculated...thought I was a dud…it wasn’t like they hadn’t sent anyone after me before. They did…I just managed to keep one step ahead. All that time though I was looking for others that were in the same program. Or similar.” His eyes swung over to Sasuke.
“I didn’t find you first…I found your brother.” He muttered with a shrug. “Once I found him though…I found you. I knew immediately you had to have been in the program because Itachi had been in it. His mission reports screamed abnormalities.” He let out a little breath, “When you received the information for this mission against Naruto. I knew for absolute certain and I had what I needed to really start digging.”
“But why the hell were you digging, why didn’t you just...get out and try and live a normal life??” Ino demanded, “We’ve been running all this time…and you…you put your ass back in the fire! For what?!” She threw her hands up a moment. “That seems like a really dumb move for such a smart guy” She jabbed a finger at him.
Shikamaru actually snorted, “Yeah it was…but…I had friends in the program…kids I got close with…I wanted to find them.” His smile fell, “I still haven’t. I ran when I should have tried to get them out the first time. That’s on me”
It got quiet once more, Iruka watched him. That was too much for young man to bear in his opinion. “You were 9. You can’t blame yourself for that. If you had gone back they would have captured you again…” Kakashi sat regarding Shikamaru carefully before Iruka plunged into his next statement. “We can help you, but right now the priority is Naruto.” He said quietly. “If you help us, we will help you” He promised.
“How did you get away from Kisame?” A voice asked, it was Neji, he was eyeing Shikamaru distrustfully. “From what Sasuke has told us about the man. Not many could defeat him...at least alone”
“God what a damn drag you are…obviously I couldn’t kill the guy...” Shikamaru gestured to his face. “No. He found me in some po-dunk town outside of Kansas city. I had let my guard down. After Sasuke gave me that warning I made sure my identity disappeared. I became a damn ghost. Kisame still found me…he’s got this scent thing” he licked his bottom lip a moment. “And this bat…” His arm twitched a little and he held it against his body. “I got beat a bit before I figured him out all the way. He was easy enough to aggravate into attacking stupidly. My abilities only let me trap them and mimic my own moves…”He snorted a little before letting out a deep sigh and scratching his nose. “I had him do a backflip right into an oncoming semi-truck…”
“And he survived?!” Gaped Sakura staring at him. Shikamaru frowned, “Obviously…but I didn’t stick around. I found a car, hotwired the damn thing, managed it a state over before I had to dump it. Took some bus lines another state over and then stole another car.” He shrugged. “That I dumped outside the city.”
Iruka frowned and finally nodded, he was surprisingly inventive and he was careful. “So how did you manage to find this group? Going to the city had been a split decision”
“You’re not going to like my answer...” Shikamaru finally said, though he wasn’t looking at Iruka, he had looked towards Sasuke. The man only scowled at him more. “I basically put a virus on all of your tech. Phone, computer, earpiece…Everything. I knew you would have at least one on you at any given time. Every time you got new tech I always made sure I did it” He paused seeing the eyes narrow but he looked back to Iruka. “I thought when he fled Naruto’s original location, he left all his tech…I thought I was up shit creek when it came to finding you...but”
“My laptop.” Sasuke said coldly. It had survived the trip and was dead in his bag. How could he do that?! Why?!
“Yep” Shikamaru nodded, “Even when it’s off, or dead it still emits a small signal. I knew your phone had been destroyed because I lost that signal the day you called me…”
“That’s NSA level intelligence abilities” Kakashi mused lightly, “You sure you’re not some hired agent?” He was sitting backwards on a chair, the book lowered in his hand, the interest only grew on his face as he regarded Shikamaru.
“Hardly…that’s too much of a pain.”
“Why??” Sasuke suddenly asked sharply, “Why hell would you do that?” Shikamaru shifted on the spot and looked over at him. “I just wanted to make sure if you ever went off the radar I could still find you…” The man frowned suddenly. “You were the only way I could find others like you” He sighed knowing Sasuke’s look only got blacker. He knew it would infuriate him, but he didn’t have a choice. He had been his only chance to locate the rest.
Iruka pursed his lips. “Sakura...why don’t you see what you can do for him? I think we’re safe for now. Sasuke” He looked towards the raven headed young man, he waited until he was looked at. He had grown up so much, a surly tempered child had become…well…a quieter and surlier individual.
“From what Ive heard, this mission to take Naruto’s life was given to you as an ultimatum to gain your freedom from the Akatsuki group. Correct?”
A single nod. Iruka frowned a little more. “But they hid their real intent. You were the bait for your brother to actually capture him. But he let you go. You say he’s playing a game. He wanted a more difficult chase. His assumption is that you would die by this groups hand…or integrate with it?” He glanced around a moment, “This could be a clever ruse to gain their trust, while you get Itachi into a perfect location to snatch Naruto”
Anger flashed across the face the young man went rigid. “No” Sasuke bit out. “No” He repeated the word softer. “I’ve wanted out of Akatsuki for a long time now. I knew the mission I would be given would be practically impossible but I wanted it anyway. Itachi…” He frowned his fingers uncurling. “I have no ties with my brother, we never worked well together, and on this I am NOT in league with him or Akatsuki. If he gets another chance he will kill me. Personally, I want to live.” After all he had been lied to all this time by his brother. He met Iruka’s eyes. He remembered this mentor in brief flashes. The look he was given said it all. He didn’t trust him.
“It’s been a long day, why don’t we get some rest?” Kakashi suddenly intervened, “We have a lot of road to cover, so we can only spare a few hours to get some sleep. I think we should take it.”
Iruka nodded in agreement, though as the others moved to the separate rooms, and floor spaces he noted that when Sasuke threw down the sleeping roll on the floor near the farthest wall, Naruto had dragged his own over. It was like history repeating its damn self. “They need to know...” he whispered to Kakashi but Kakashi shook his head glancing over. “No.”
Sasuke had gone still his ears having strained at the voices of the two. He released a slow breath. Know what?
~~
“They need to know...”
Sasuke ignore Naruto when he rolled out his own blanket next to him, the two rooms were conceded to the girls and mentors. Neji was right outside the door taking the first watch, Shikamaru on the opposite side on the couch. He frowned heavily when a hand touched him. He wanted to ignore it. What did Iruka want them to know that Kakashi didn’t?? The hand slipped down his hip and he rolled over grabbing it. “What?” He asked quietly looking over the shape of the others face in the darkness.
He felt Naruto inhale before the body scooched closer to him. “…earlier…days ago...” The blond whispered before he hesitated. “When Sakura was fixing your fingers...you…” He pulled his hand out of Sasuke’s grip reaching out to lightly touch the face. “You…remembered the story I used to tell, about the boy and the monster.” Sasuke almost pulled back but sighed. “I don’t remember saying anything” He admitted but Naruto ignored him.
“I knew from that moment that we knew each other. Sasuke…they did something to me….it only got worse I think…after you were gone…”
The guilt clenched lightly inside of Sasuke and he reached over covering the mouth with his hand. “Stop” He almost said it gently. He closed his eyes a moment as if bracing himself. Maybe he was. He dropped his hand and carefully edged slightly closer. He could feel the other tremble a little. Was he scared?
“..and earlier...if you hadn’t pulled me back I could have...I could have killed them all, I…” The whisper was husky and low.
Sasukes eyes had adjusted well in the darkness and he closed the distance between them and found the mouth silencing the other effectively. He shouldn’t be doing this but he couldn’t help himself.
“Stop.” he repeated himself, his voice was just a breath of air against the lips. He could feel another small quiver from the other. This wasn’t the Naruto he remembered, brash and bold. Nothing got him down, not broken bones, fights, the experiments.
They broke him.
The thought came so assuredly in his mind he knew it was true, and he hadn’t been there to stop it. Where had he been?? What had happened to him? Why couldn’t he remember it? It was utterly infuriating!
He frowned even more before he kissed him again, harder this time. His fingers curled in the blond locks and he hauled him in tighter. His fingers curled more in the blond locks and the soft noise Naruto made only spurred him on.
It was dark. So dark. The room was small and padded. There was screaming. Nothing but screaming. He was sure it was Naruto’s. There was this roaring too, he couldn’t tell if it was coming from the blood pounding in his ears or from room next to the one he was confined in. Screaming and roaring. “..stop stop stop stop…” he was whispering it over and over and over again. A flash of bright light as a small window open. Spinning red eyes looked down on him. His eyes went wide at the side and his body went lax caught in the swirl of black and red. All the screaming faded away, a kind voice hummed as it moved closer and something was pressed into his hand. A Leather bound hilt. It weighed effortless. A lovely weapon. A mouth suddenly was against his ear, a serpents tongue flicked out lightly caressing the lobe.
“You know what to do. Sasuke”
Sasuke jerked back, his breath shuddered out a moment. “Sasuke….” The voice sounded muffled but when something touched his face he grabbed the wrist and slammed Naruto down on the floor pinning him there.
“What the hell?!” Naruto hissed struggling under him. Sasuke stared down at the face in the darkness his own breath still coming in sharply. “Nothing” He said thickly pulling back slowly. “Nothing…” He could feel his heart rate slow down and he fell back onto his blanket.
“Go to sleep moron” He mumbled even as he stared at the ceiling. How was he supposed to go to sleep after that?? What…was that?! Who had that been? What…had he done?!
“Bastard.” Hissed Naruto. Sasuke felt him edge closer anyway and the head pillowed near his. He closed his eyes tightly, the memory was gone but the sensation it left him with remained. Guilt and queasiness rolled through his gut.
He twitched lightly when a hand slid over his chest and rested there. The damn idiot had always been a cuddler. The hand felt heavy on his chest, but not in a bad way. Despite it all, it eased his thundering heart. Naruto’s body curled around him; that hand on his chest warmed him through, the slow breaths curled down the side of his neck from Naruto. His eyes closed a little.
It didn’t feel like he deserved this kind of comfort.
~*~
Im going to kill them all!” Kisame snarled yanking the knife out of his thigh, He stomped into the middle of the room and smashed the computer that was playing the recording of voices with his bat and roared out as needles came flying out one of the corners. “IM GONNA TEAR THEM ALL TO PIECES!”
“No.” Itachi moved inside his eyes sweeping the area with an impassive look. “Naruto must stay alive.” He had a known they weren’t there, even without Sasuke they wouldn’t have left the door unguarded. The traps were halfhearted at best, food and items still strewn about. They packed in a hurry, so he was sure they didn’t go far.
His swirling red eyes took in the room, listening to Kisame stomp around the room swinging his bad into walls, counters and furniture. “Stop” He said simply. The man hurled a curse at him but stopped anyway. Kisame growled louder at Itachi, “Well I’m killing the rest of them” he hissed swinging his eyes around and taking a deep breath. After a moment he released it, his shoulders relaxing a little. His large bat swung idly in his hand. Another deep snuff and he licked his lips. Stepping forward he slowly dropped to one knee reaching out, his fingers slid across the floor. “Blood” He breathed and lifted the reddened finger tips. His lips curled revealing the teeth. “Your brothers.” The eyes lifted taking in the fist sized hole. “They fought...” Kisame chuckled darkly licking remnants of the blood from his fingers.
“Good. Im tired of the chase. It’s time to end this” Itachi’s eyes flashed a moment and he swept from the room. It was nearing dawn by now. He would have them before the sun hit midday
