Reunion of Shadows 16
Suigetsu pulled violently on his restraints,
hoping to make the old bonds give way. They shrieked in protest but didn't
budge, seemingly drinking the blood oozing from the water nin�s wrists after all his frantic struggling.
"Speak you scum!"
came the yelling from the room adjacent his.
A derisive snort was
followed by the sound of knuckles hitting flesh and bones, a quiet hiss of
pain. Suigetsu pulled and twisted, trying to call out
some chakra even if he knew he was sealed. If only he could turn part of his
wrist in water he would be able to slip out...
"How did you plan to
murder the Hokage?"
More sounds of beating.
Some coughing that sounded painful. Spitting. Curses. More violence. The water nin gritted his teeth. At first,
he had rolled his eyes as a group of Anbu arrested
him. He had wondered what the heck ROOT had plotted against them. He had been
more amused than anything, until he had learnt for Karin.
"What were her
orders?"
The
horrible shriek of a chair against pavement. The resounding echo of it
falling down. A groan of pain. Blows. A mirthless laugh. Angry movements. Hits.
They had been torturing him
for a good half hour now, ever since they dragged in a drugged, sealed and
blindfolded Sasuke. According to the questions they
asked in a continuous loop, they thought Sasuke was
trying to murder the Hokage and take over Konoha. The sheer enormity of it all made Suigetsu want to laugh. But hearing Sasuke
being tortured, feeling so completely powerless about it angered him to no end.
"You wanna continue what your shitty haughty clan had planned
eh?"
He closed his eyes briefly,
trying to tune out the sounds from next to him. They could murder Sasuke so easily right now it made Suigetsu
sick. They could even pretend he'd broken free and they had to kill him or a
mess up during the interrogation. Sasuke taunting
them as he was, and Suigetsu could only hear him, he
was sure the smirks and glares were all in the battle too, mustn't help at all.
All he could do was wait for someone to pull them out of this tight spot. Naruto was gone on a mission. His friends must have been
kept blissfully unaware of what was going on. But... what the hell was that old
perverted man doing? The one whom Sasuke loved?
------------------------------------------------------
Kakashi forced out of his mind Sasuke's calling of his name, the way it was tainted by
betrayal. He just couldn't have allowed him to injure an Anbu,
whatever the reason, furthermore, he was Hokage, he couldn't
show any favouritism, especially not in front of their enemies.
Pulling out his Icha Icha paradise he put up his
usual front of carelessness as he started walking with Alraune.
He knew this man was suspected of being from ROOT. Sasuke,
faithful to his promise, had showed him the list and confided his plans.
"The Anbu team sent with Karin as a healer was due three days
ago," mentioned Alraune.
Kakashi nodded, well aware they had been
late to come back home, but this wasn't unusual with Anbu teams. The missions were too dangerous and
unpredictable for teams to be back in time in most cases.
"Another Anbu team was dispatched, a two member one, as dictated by
protocol," continued Alraune.
�Kakashi didn't miss
the frown that passed the man lips as he mentioned the second team. Obviously
he was one of those that found it was unnecessary and that you should just let
your team-mates die. Kakashi flipped a page.
"Only one member
survived. He dragged back that traitor with him."
"From which
team?" wondered Kakashi, not even tilting his
porn down to glance at his interlocutor.
"The rescue
team," offered Alraune, brushing the question
away with an impatient wave, "According to his report, they got attacked
by Karin's team. Before realizing the obvious misunderstanding, they had all
gotten injured, except Karin, since she's a healer and not a fighter."
This was common occurrence,
fortunately it was never bad. They had to think of a way for rescue team to
signal their presence without enemy knowing. It was very tricky.
"Karin offered to heal
them, they all agreed and bit her, but Kaigo who
didn't want to tire her out and had some healing supplies. She insisted a great
deal but in the end they went on. One hour later they had all collapsed. Kaigo went to check on them, and found them dead, that's
when Karin attacked him. For a medic she's not too bad, he's been quite
injured, but he owned her and dragged her back here to be judged," ended Alraune, sweeping his hands on his pants, looking pleased.
Kakashi smiled above his book, his visible
eye curving. He could already picture the council waiting in his office, a
horde of angry starving dogs ready to pick a bone. He could even hear them
bicker through the door.
"So all we know comes
from Kaigo's report?" he mused as he entered his
office, throwing his book on his desk to catch everyone's attention.
"That's not all!"
exclaimed a council member, pushing a medical file in his hands, a finger
angrily tapping a line, "she had poisoned her blood! That's how she got
them all. She's a symptom-free carrier; I bet Orochimaru
made her immune to poison. And it means it was all planned from the beginning,
it must have taken at least a good month for her to have enough poison to
summon. That traitor Sasuke planned it all for sure,"
he ranted.
"Or that was a medic nin way of being sure she could
break free if she was captured. Medic nin are usually
paired and forced to heal enemies," mentioned Shizune
who had been waiting for her time until now, "Or someone poisoned her bit
by bit hoping she would either poison Sasuke and Suigetsu, or end up killing her current team. Let's not
forget Juugo was murdered by some Konoha
members."
"If you only listen to
one person, you don't get the whole picture," mentioned Kakashi before protests could be uttered, "Where is
Karin right now? And Sasuke since he was arrested, Suigetsu too I suppose," asked Kakashi,
walking to his desk and slumping down in his chair, legs on the desk, perverted
book in hand.
"Karin is in the
hospital, I had to go retrieve her from the scientific building. Had I not done
that she would have died. Her tongue was cut off, Kaigo
argued she did it but I have my doubts, it looks more as if someone pulled her
tongue out and forced her to bite it off, since the marks are a bit too far.
She had also several broken bones, a punctured lung and other concerning
wounds. I understand she was brought to the scientific so they could analyse
her blood, in case the poison would disappear, but it was inhuman not to call a
medic to patch her up there," replied Shizune,
glaring at the council members.
They didn't look sorry at
all. Even if they hadn't been the one ordering it, they obviously didn't care
and wouldn't have minded Karin dying before being able to defend herself. However
they had calmed down, feeling that indeed, something might be off. It helped
greatly to have Hyuuga-san on their side, even if he
was the youngest of the council; he also was the head of the most powerful
clan.
"Sasuke
and Suigetsu are in prison. I believe the guards
might try to make them talk," offered Alraune,
smiling sweetly.
Kakashi flipped a page, nothing betraying
the anger and worry eating him away. What they had done to Karin was
unforgivable and he knew Sasuke wasn't going to take
that well... not one chance in hell. Furthermore, he was likely being tortured
right now, when he was stuck dealing with old coots that still thought with a
mentality from the old age.
However... he had to admit
right now he kinda preferred Sasuke
to be in prison... because when he heard of what Karin had suffered... this
wouldn't be pretty. He might just do something stupid. But he couldn't let him
be tortured and offered to enemies like that.
"You arrested
them?" asked Hyuuga, his voice sounding astonished,
"we don't even know if they are part of it, Karin could have acted on her
own? She could be innocent too!" he defended.
Kakashi glanced up briefly, surprised. It
seemed the man was truly on their side now, not only acting out of fear of Sasuke going rampant on his clan or divulging information
his clan might have gathered for leverage. Kakashi
gave a slight nod, both in thankfulness and agreement of the silent question in
the man's eye.
He watched has Hyuuga took his leave to release Sasuke. To some protests he argued that Sasuke
was still traced and couldn't leave the village without a mission order anyway,
furthermore they could seal him whenever they wanted.�
"I want everything to
be studied, all the proofs available, and place Karin under protection until we
hear her version," ordered Kakashi, before
dismissing everyone.
He then set to work on all
those cursed paper he had to do. He had worked until late at night to be sure
he wouldn't have too much to catch up if he did the bell test with Sasuke. He wasn't in a hurry, but he seriously needed not
to think right now. Otherwise he was going to Sasuke
and that wouldn't do at all, he had to show he was impartial. As his pencil
shattered in his iron tight grip he sighed, impartial eh?
-----------------------------------------------------
Sasuke spit the blood gathering in his
mouth, aiming it at the guard's face. It was so simple to rile them up. Slowly,
he could feel their anger clouding their judgment; they were getting more
violent, asking fewer questions as they now really wanted to beat him up. But
they also grew less careful, getting closer, not making sure his bond kept him
tightly locked on his chair. Soon, he would be able to turn the table.
He winced as a vicious
punch caught his already injured cheek, making him taste blood again. Using the
momentum, he tilted his body so that the chair would fall on the floor. It did
with a loud clang, and that made the ropes go slacker. That was all he needed,
pretending to try to stand, he dislocated his thumb and freed his right hand.
But he didn't move. He waited for a man to come to his side, kicking him in the
stomach before grabbing the chair to redress him.
Sasuke smirked, stealing a kunai from the
guard's pouch. Before they could react, he had freed his right leg. The rest
happened really fast, he pivoted his body, slamming the chair against the man
closest to him, stunning him a bit as it broke on his side. He then promptly
knocked him out. Freer of movement now, since the remains of the chair wasn't a
real problem, he faced his second opponent.
"Tssk
tssk tssk," he teased,
smirking, "you should be more careful"
"You fucker,"
growled the jounin level guard.
Sasuke mentally remarked he was really
weaker than Kakashi, but then his sensei used to be
an Anbu. He eyed him as he circled around him,
visibly hesitating between getting closer or not, attacking or defending... Sasuke saved him the pondering by rushing head first toward
him. The man immediately took a defensive position, legs parted. At the last
moment, Sasuke slid on his knees, escaping the
counter attack, destabilizing his opponent and elbowing him in the jewels
efficiently taking him out.
"Where is Karin?"
he asked, as the man twisted on the ground, holding his crotch.
"Go to hell,"
cursed the guard.
Sasuke knocked him out. He was still
sealed, but that shouldn't be a problem. Growling in pain as he put his thumb
back in, he left the room for Suigetsu's one. The
water nin was grinning
broadly at him even before he stepped in, he must have heard everything that
was going on.
"So what's the
plan?" asked Suigetsu, wiggling in excitement, teeth
poking out even thought he was still chained to the wall.
Sasuke smiled softly at his teammate
antics. Using a bit of wood from his torture chair, he picked the locks,
setting Suigetsu free, thanking their luck that he
had been sealed only by his restraints.
"Unseal me, tie the
guards, we're going to Karin," he ordered, presenting his arms to Suigetsu so he could look at the blood seals on them as he
activated them by trying to use his chakra.
The water nin rolled his stiffed shoulders,
cracking his neck in the process to. He was so damn sore having been in the
uncomfortable position for so long. Rubbing his abused wrists he studied the
drawings on his leader's body. They were rather complex and he wasn't sure he understood
them all. Biting his thumb, he let blood tickle his skin and started writing
above the dark ink curving around Sasuke's body. As
it entered into action, his blood too, turned dark, jeopardizing the previous
seal.
"That's all I can do Sasuke, I don't get the rest of the damn thing," he
told, stepping back after adding a few scribbles around his eyes.
Sasuke grunted; shivering slightly as
chakra flew back into his veins, pulsing. Suigetsu
watched as he located where the flow was weak and worked on unknotting the rest
of the seals. When sharingan bled red, Suigetsu couldn't help a toothy grin to escape him. Seeing Sasuke work, was always a sight that made him almost hard,
power was a beautiful and dangerous thing he couldn't help be driven to.
Chuckling to himself he
left the room to get rid of the guards. He snickered as he undressed them and
put them in the 69 position. He tightly bound wrists to the ankles, putting the
legs around the other's head, and tying the tights at the neck. Then he used
their kunai to trace a kekkai, preventing them to
call for help. It was so much fun.
Sasuke merely raised an eyebrow at the
strange display and rolled his eyes, a smirk twitching at his lips. But Suigetsu could see the tension in his leader's behaviour,
could see the anger rippling in his aura. Swinging an arm around the dark
haired mans neck, he leaned in, drinking water he had
been denied access to until now.
"Let's go see the
leech," he joked, referring to Karin's Anbu
mask.
"Hn"
They sneaked out easily,
the late evening breeze cooling their worried nerves. It was a little too easy
to reach the hospital and enter it. It reminded Sasuke
of the time Itachi had entered the village, drinking
tea and eating dango without people noticing him for
a long time. He closed his eyes, pushing away the memories threatening to engulf
him. Konoha had never understood him, never been on
his side... this wasn't changing at all.
Not even Kakashi was with him, even if he knew why Kakashi had prevented him from fighting back, he still had
wished the man would side with him a bit more... not to mention he knew
perfectly well what his sensei thought of his revenge tendencies. He bit his
lips, catching Suigetsu's worried fleeting looks.
Blood tickled his chin as he stupidly glanced above his shoulder, fully
expecting to see Juugo worrying about his state of
mind. �
"She's here,"
whispered Suigetsu, pointing to a room with his
bottle of water.
Sasuke took a deep breath and checking no
medics where around or inside, they entered. Suigetsu
cursed as he turned to water, Sasuke dodging to the
side. Needles had nearly found their way to some vital points.
"Hey it's us you
dummy!" admonished Suigetsu, walking to the bed,
surrounded by plastic bands as curtain, "you silly witch trying to
kill..." his sentence died on his lips as he lifted a band, seeing Karin.
Sasuke was at his side in seconds and Suigetsu had to resist the urge to push him away, to
prevent him from seeing what met their eyes. Karin was covered in bandages
slowly tinting in a dirty red. A mask was helping her breath, tubes and
machines surrounding her to keep her alive. She wasn't even dressed, too
covered in wounds and bandages to allow anything on her body.
As she saw them her eyes
filled with tears, and she shook her head slightly, coughing. She seemed to beg
Suigetsu to take Sasuke away,
to not let him see her in such a state. Feeling her pain and knowing the even
deeper motive that drove her, the water nin
pushed Sasuke on the other side of the plastic. It
wasn't only vanity, she knew how it hurt their leader to see that, how it
filled him with anger and resentment for ROOT, for Konoha.
Suigetsu's heart missed a beat as Karin
grabbed his closest hand, the move seeming to drain her, and started tapping on
his skin with her finger. Morse code? She couldn't
talk?
Leave, don't stay here, I will be fine.
"You can't talk,"
whispered Suigetsu, kneeling at her side, replacing
her arm on the bed but making sure his hand was under her finger for her to
Morse her answer.
He cut my tongue. Leave. I won't let them kill me. Take Sasuke away.
The curtain almost ripped
as Sasuke parted them, not standing to be outside it,
he had heard the faint tapping of Karin's fingers. She stared at him, tears
running down her eyes.
Don't look at me, she pleaded in Morse.
"Karin!" growled Sasuke, bending over to rest her against him, combing her
hair.
She started sniffling
against him, puff of pains escaping her as it moved her body. Sasuke just hold her tighter, yet making sure not to crush
her.
"I will make them
pay," he swore, fisting the sheets.
I'm ok. Don't abandon your wish for me. Please don't. Konoha is important for you.
"You are
important," mumbled Sasuke, parting from her,
giving a last stroke to her hair.
Gently he brushed her tears
away with his thumbs and saw her narrow her eyes.
What happened to you? You're all swelled up.
"We got arrested too,
and they had fun beating the shit out of him before he got rid of them,"
explained Suigetsu, trying to grin.
Bite me.
Sasuke rolled his eyes, leaving but
freezing as a hand closed on his yukata, too feeble
to even really hold it.
"You're too weak right
now," he scolded.
She turned her head, her
hand falling. Suigetsu gave him a little punch,
nodding toward her before whispering to Sasuke's
hears only.
"She feels guilty for
being in such a state, making you worry, making you angry toward Konoha. She wants to feel useful. If she says she can heal
you, she can."
Reluctant, but
understanding, Sasuke took her arm, biting as gently
as he could. As soon as he felt the swelling had disappeared, he pulled out. Karin
was breathing heavily now, her eyes closing on their own, but the machine
keeping track of her vitals weren't bipping in
distress. Not turning back, Sasuke left, holding the
plastic for Suigetsu to follow.
They exited just in time; a
nurse and a Jounin coming their way. A dog barked, Sasuke hearing Kiba calming him
down and telling the nurse it was nothing at all. It seemed everything wasn't
lost.
Using rooftops, they
hurried away just in case. They couldn't go back to the Uchiha
estate for the moment. They also had to decide what to do now. At least they
knew Karin was protected and would be as fine as she could in her current
predicament. As they went to a secluded part of town, making sure to blur their
traces, Sasuke suddenly lost his balance, catching
himself just in time on a chimney. Suigetsu landed
next to him, raising an eyebrow before, he too, felt it. Their chakra had just
been locked.
"Kakashi,"
hissed Sasuke, punching the bricks in frustration.
Suigetsu worried his lower lip with his
poking out teeth. If he had found Sasuke's state of
mind concerning before, now he was completely anxious. It had been a long time
since he had seen Sasuke in such a dark mood; this
was getting too much for him to settle on his own.
"Suigetsu?"
The latter jumped a bit,
choking on his water but nodded. His eyes widened comically as Sasuke bit his thumb and started writing on the both of
them. He could already feel chakra coming back; you could trust Sasuke to be able to mess up a seal placed on him for a
long time. Sure, they weren't in top form, most of their chakra still out of
their reach, but they had enough to be a threat.
"We are going to make all this stop," ordered Sasuke,
releasing a seal on his body, the scroll with the ROOT suspected member puffing
out, "we will take them all out tonight."�
"Sasuke,"
started Suigetsu, but he was cut off.
"And you have the
right to kill," added Sasuke, his blood red eyes
with spinning comma locking on his teammate.
Suigetsu jumped on his feet, grinning broadly.
Using the same kind of seal, he called his massive sword, swinging it on his
shoulder.
"Let's go have
fun!" he called out, nursing a drink and looking positively ecstatic at
the idea of finally being allowed to murder people.
Sasuke rose from his sitting position, his
back to Suigetsu has he readied to leap. He had
barely moved when received a clear hit to the nape, efficiently knocking him
out. �
"Sui..." he choked,
stunned, betrayed.
"Sorry Sasuke," mumbled the water nin, catching his friend before he collapsed.
This was definitively out
of his hands. He couldn't deal with Sasuke right now.
He wasn't in the wrong... because he only planned to attack the people
responsible... but Konoha wouldn't hear it. He
couldn't let Sasuke take such a decision on a short
temper, Karin and Juugo wouldn't forgive him. But he
couldn't stop him either... but he knew someone who might.
Hoisting Sasuke on his shoulder, Suigetsu
carefully set into the evening falling darkness.
