“Like that” – the speech
~ * ~
With a couple of haunted creatures in his
hand, Itachi was walking in his usual casual pace back towards the safe place
where he left Tesla. He'd made sure there were no evidence that anything alive
was inside, and that Tesla was deep in his sleep before he'd left, several
hours ago.
Something seemed to have changed in the
world, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Although the paths in this deep dark forest were very
familiar to him and he knew every leaf in them personally, and even though not
even one leaf has moved a millimeter, the brightness of the colors seemed
different, the depth of things seemed to be alluring, and his mind was more
distracted than he should've liked it to be. All in all, he felt oddly
elevated.
~ * ~
Tesla woke up to the hand that was covering his mouth, just
slightly awake he panicked, not understanding what was going on. He tried to
free himself from the grip but his injured leg didn't help in that at all.
Moreover, the man holding him was much stronger than he himself so his
struggling only brought him a strong hit in the stomach and from that point on
Tesla was unconscious.
Itachi halted in front of the hut – something was wrong. The door was open, foot prints everywhere, the place had not
stayed the way he'd left it and it was quite displeasing that the patterns of
the footprints seemed oddly familiar. Instantly, he was at the open door. He didn't expect to see
Tesla there but he knew he could find clues inside. His eyes scanned the
room over thoroughly, and when he determined it safe, he headed for the bed and
examined it: Tesla had been startled from his sleep, he struggled but was
out-powered.
That is what Itachi concluded, his face clean of any
expression, all emotions sealed away. Someone had followed him, and was good enough to avoid being
detected; it had to have been someone he knew well, because they accessed the
safe place easily enough. A small frown managed
to filter through the mask of indifference. Where
have they taken Tesla to?
Tesla slowly opened his eyes, trying to not
make too much noise and look around same time. To his surprise he wasn't even
tied up or anything – completely opposite: he was carefully placed in the warm
cocoon of blankets and although they were wrapped around him in the way that
prevented him from moving much, but he could tell that no matter who placed him
in this position made sure he did not harm Tesla in any way.
As some time passed and no one showed up,
Tesla started to unwrap himself with the goal to run away. Problem was he had
no clue where the hell he was. And his leg really wasn't in the shape for long
activities. But he hoped that Itachi would be somewhere around, he knew he had
no right to hope that the ninja would come rescue him but, hey hope dies the
last…
It's been ten minutes since Itachi had returned to the hut to
find it clear of his recently acquired companion. He was now looking more
thoroughly at all the tracks he could find and gathering all the information he
could.
The small thought of why was he worried about this stranger
passed his mind, and he halted his examination for a bit. Why did he care about
what happens to this orange eyed person?
A moment later he shoved that question aside for later
reference, there was a job needed to be done, and that job was to find and
rescue Tesla.
After five more minutes he determined everything he could
learn about his enemy, and left the hut with all the equipment he reckoned he
would need. A mere look at the footprints outside, after considering a
misguidance the enemy might've put up for him, showed him where to go, and he
left, disappearing in high speed and a flash of red eyes. Itachi was angry.
Tesla wasn't expert in running away… not from camps in the
middle of the forest at least. He got pretty good in running away from castles
and palaces (he was really popular with princesses and sometimes princes for
some unknown for him reason). So he figured he could as well just look around
the place. Maybe it will give him some clues on the direction he was moved in or
place he was at all. But as soon as he
reached the tree-lines around the clearing he was on, he met soft but not
breakable resistance like his feet declined to move past some edge.
"What is it?" – He thought starting to feel something and so moving around
to touch the transparent wall that after thorough exploration came to be solid
wall around camping place.
"There goes my perfect runaway plan." Tesla
whispered feeling dawn and moved to sit on his blankets again; he had no choice
but to wait now.
Itachi knew this forest very well as far as three days' worth
a travel to every direction from the hideout and he's been following the tracks
for an hour more or less. At this point he stopped on a tree and looked forward
at the branches that blocked the view.
Someone had tampered with this forest, Itachi decided. He
couldn't sense anything starting twenty meters ahead, and the distinct
suspicion that Tesla's kidnapper was hiding behind a barrier rose within him.
This should be approached with caution, Itachi thought, jumping to the ground and running forward
to the line of the trees, which wasn't there the last time he'd examined the
area.
A camping site, rounded by a see-through sealing technique
Itachi had never seen before.
Itachi sniffed the air shortly, and narrowed his eyes, an odd
smell was in the air, but he couldn't determine what it was. That is, because he couldn't accept the fact that it smelled
awfully like a Wolf but there was no presence of a human smell.
Tesla had woken up from the feel of
something warm and fluffy near him. He wasn't used to that feeling especially
because this something was breathing. Holding his own breath Tesla opened his
eyes to look at the huge black wolf that was cuddled securely around him. He
seemed to be sleeping, his breathing even and slow. Tesla smiled – unconscious reaction to the
view of sleeping and seemed like friendly animal. Reacting to Tesla's waking
the way almost all the animals would the wolf opened his eyes and Tesla gasped
in surprise meeting two mismatched orbs, blue and yellow.
"So you're awake at last." Wolf
spoke in low deep voice.
If Tesla would be regular person he would
probably be scared and surprised beyond his limits, but Tesla wasn't some
ordinary young men, that's why his reaction was not surprise but cautiousness.
"Yes, I think I was tired more than I
thought." He replied carefully. "May I ask you if you know where I am
and how did I get here?" He continued, his facial expression controlled
and showing only good mannered interest to the answer other was willing to
provide.
"I took you here." – The wolf
answered casually. "Sorry I was little rough but your "friend"
was coming back and I had no intensions in meeting him until I have no other
choice." He continued, apology in
his voice.
Tons of questions were running through
Tesla's head, the first of them, why that creature had to bring him here
and for what purpose. "Why did you take me here then?" He voiced he's
concern…
(Meanwhile)
Human or not, Tesla's kidnapper was definitely an animal
user, Itachi thought. And an average level sealing artist. A thorough
inspection of the clear seal he stood before came up with the conclusion that
it was also genjutsu seal. It wasn't clear, but had an imaginary view. And
Itachi could swear he sensed another seal inside. If he was going to find and
retrieve Tesla, he was going to have to do something right away. Not wanting to
use any high chakra consuming jutsus, Itachi put his hands together, took a
deep breath, created a simple kata and mumbled "Katon gokakyu no
jutsu!". He exhaled nonchalantly and his breath was a big fire ball that
hit the seal with penetrating force. A simple jutsu, the first he'd learnt,
suitable in this case. He thought waiting for the smoke he'd created to
disappear so he could see the amount of damage he'd done to his mysterious
enemy’s seal.
Tesla didn’t get
an answer to his question, because the Wolf suddenly stood up, hn’ing amusedly
and telling Tesla to rest and that he will receive all his answers pretty soon,
with quick jumps he moved past the transparent wall (without any problems at
all, Tesla noticed).
No damage at all?
Itachi looked at what he'd thought was a barrier. His eyes narrowed, something's
fishy, he thought. Just to be sure, he'd have to use the Sharingan.
Without a flinch,
his eyes became red rather than black, with three little black markings around
the pupil. His brows furrowed, this didn't seem to be anything like a barrier,
but rather a sort of genjutsu, mind control.
Itachi chuckled
lightly before he walked past the so called barrier, his enemy had some weird
abilities, it seemed, and that made Itachi await the meeting of this mysterious
person more. The odd feeling had stayed, but he realized it was probably part
of the technique that worked , so instead of giving heed to the feeling, he
looked around for Tesla, he's ought to be somewhere around here.
"Tesla."
Itachi said, thinking that maybe the man was around and would answer him.
First reaction he felt was panic and
confusion. Someone he didn’t know kidnapped him to the God knows where and he
couldn’t move away from this place it seemed. He didn’t figure out why this
strange creature needed him also. He was worried about what to do but the most
confusing were his feeling of hope and fear about Itachi coming or not after
him.
“Now calm down, will you!” – Tesla told
angrily to himself. – “You act like some
weak princess here!”
Sitting down on the blankets he tried to
calm down and think. There was no way for him to figure out who the kidnaper
was and what he wanted from him, so he should concentrate on why he can’t move
away from here while the Wolf could do it with such easiness. Getting up Tesla
once more looked unseen wall up and down. If it is the wall why are there no
signs of it connecting with the ground? He looked closer, even grass seemed
as there was nothing and air was moving as if there were nothing in it’s
way. “Isn’t it interesting,” – Tesla
whispered, suspicion forming in him. And then he heard Itachi calling his name.
Hearing that voice alone could make him dizzy, but hearing Itachi calling his
name and not some nicknames ninja usually would use could make him die happy.
Not this time thought. This time it made him concentrate at last and soon
enough he was able to see tall figure not far from his “cage”.
“I’m here.” – He calmly called out to ninja,
placing a hand to the wall he still wasn’t able to cross.
Itachi's
flaming red eyes spotted Tesla, by his posture he could tell
that the 'second barrier' he had thought he felt before was around Tesla,
the same as the one he'd just crossed – a mental remnants of a very
odd genjutsu. The presence of the wolf was very strong around here,
but for now Itachi wasn’t bothered with actually finding him
and fighting him, he'd found his objective.
"You
aren't seriously letting such a low leveled genjutsu keep you there, are
you? We're leaving." he said, turning away. He had to leave this area
as soon as possible; he wanted to release the sharingan and preferred not to do
so in this location.
Tesla tried to
run after ninja, he wanted to touch him so desperately but somehow he still
wasn’t able to pass that damn barrier. Not able to control feeling so strong,
tears started to trail down his soft skin and on to his neck.
“Itachi!!!” –
Tesla cried out his voice breaking and his knees not able to hold him upright
anymore, because of the stressed state, added to physical injuries. He dropped
to his knees, hands still on the ‘wall’ and head bowed in defeat and tiredness.
Tesla didn’t realize it yet, but most of his mental powers were fighting
Darcia’s control, leaving Tesla weak and defenseless.
Itachi halted and
turned to glance at Tesla. Despite his confidence in
his ability to understand a situation completely, Tesla's behavior
definitely surprised him. He couldn't afford to waste any more time over
this, he knew that.
Cursing under his
breath he disappeared from where he was standing and reappeared right in front
of Tesla. Stretching out his hand he clasped Tesla's wrist and pulled him
forcefully out, and, inevitably, into his arms. It was indeed not his custom to
get close to people, not to mention hugging them, but it was the fastest way he
was going to calm Tesla down, no question about it.
"Calm
down," – he said in his rich voice, his tone neither warm nor
compassionate, but his arms round Tesla's waist held him close
firmly.
Tesla
clutched at the material on Itachi’s chest, partially to make sure other was
here with him, and partially to be able to stand. Waves of illogical panic
running through him.
“I can’t!” –
He whispered hiding his face in Itachi’s neck, breathing deep to get Itachi’s
scent to calm him. Despite of the panic and stress that took hold of Tesla, he
clearly understood that someone tried in some way to control his powers, even
if it didn’t concern the usage of those powers at the very moment. The
slightest chance of that control to be affecting those powers in some point at
time would make his unconsciousness react in really sharp way. He assumed that
was what was going on right now.
“Please, take
me away as far from here as it is possible!” – Tesla whispered half-pleadingly
his body moving even closer, as if in wish to get inside Itachi and hide there
in safety.
“Hn.” – was
Itachi's short reply. He swiftly lifted Tesla from the floor and turned to
leave the area. The two's image only occasionally seen as Itachi was
moving in his regular high speed to get as far from the disturb area as fast as
he could.
The safe hut was
no longer secure, Itachi's mind was fervently thinking of better places to stay
for the time being, as he knew the closest safe place he could find was too far
for them to reach at this time. And Tesla was still wounded.
At this
point the question of 'why the hell do you care?' popped in his mind again. He
shoved it out almost violently and removed the sharingan, he was already far
enough, he supposed, so he stopped.
Putting Tesla
back on the ground he looked around. It was still the forest he knew well, so
it wouldn't be a problem as long as he stays alert...
Only that the
Sharingan had already drained a lot of his chakra and it would be troublesome
to keep watch now.
As soon as they stopped, Tesla sat on the
ground, lost in thoughts. He already calmed down and now was analyzing his
inner self.
The after glow of his powers going crazy,
had left for him plenty materials to work with.
First of all he checked if everything was
normal, pulling on every string of his inner self and taking a look in the
every dark corner of his mind to make sure that he was completely his own and
no one was hiding in him to play some nasty surprise.
After he would finish with that he would
work on finding what kind of powers affected him and think of who and for what
reasons would try to use their abilities on him. Last thing in that list was to
clear the identity of the Wolf. That would probably help with who and why
affected him as well.
Tesla put himself in easy trance state, not
paying attention to anything around him including Itachi. Not even noticing
that ninja was talking to him, just shrugging in annoyance of some disturbance
he was getting from outside...
"Better
now?" – Itachi asked, not looking at Tesla but rather scanning the area,
his focus wasn't as good as he would've liked it to be, but he couldn't do
anything about it now. There was no answer from Tesla, so he asked again:
"You ok?"
Still no answer.
Itachi looked at Tesla, who was sitting and not paying attention to him at all.
"Are you
even listening to me?" it wasn't like him to get annoyed at such dismissal,
but Tesla shrugged at him, as if he was a bother.
Narrowing his
eyes, instead of just deciding to hurt Tesla right there and then, he made to
jump up to sit on the tree.
The trance Tesla
was in made his mind analyze target it was given, completely clear of emotions
and other unnecessary feeling it would just look at sheer facts and make
conclusions. In that state the body of human in trance would act on instincts
and feeling that were left in it before trance state was started. In this case
it was feeling of love and safety that were targeted on Itachi. So when Tesla’s
body registered said Itachi moving it acted like some puppy would, grabbing
ninja’s leg and cuddling around it with tinny sounds of discomfort and
loneliness.
Held back, Itachi
looked down at Tesla, who was holding onto his leg as if his
life depended on it. He moved to disentangle his leg from the other's hold and
crouched by him. Although he didn't know Tesla that well, this was definitely
not the way he'd normally act, he knew that.
He looked at
Tesla's face and finally realized Tesla was in some kind of trance state.
"So that's
the case..." he said. “I'm going to check the area, don't go anywhere.”
Itachi then added, standing up again. This time he did jump onto the tree under
which Tesla was sitting, and looked around to examine the area.
Nothing could be
seen in the distance, no mental disturbance, no animal-users.
A couple of
minutes afterwards he jumped off and landed quietly next to Tesla.
Not like Tesla’s
mind registered the words but he got the intonation so he calmly stayed in his
place, although his eyes followed Itachi and as soon as the ninja landed where
he could be reached Tesla’s hands wrapped themselves around him again. Tesla’s
head came to rest on Itachi’s thigh and he started to purr pleasantly.
Meanwhile Tesla’s
brain finished with the first task of making sure nothing was connected to his
mind and abilities and moved to sorting out reactions of his own brain and the
way it was affected to figure out who would pass as possible user of the powers
that were used on him as well as coming really close to the identity of the
wolf. After mere minutes Tesla figure who it was. What was left is to figure
why black noble would want him...
"Oi..." Itachi said, not quite as comfortable with
Tesla wrapped around him.
He once more released himself from Tesla and then sat down on
the ground, leaning against the tree trunk. He would have to concentrate on
making sure no one catches up to them, and on retrieving his powers.
He was rather worried because he had no firm idea of what the
enemy would look like, he won't be able to recognize him on sight.
Tesla blushed
brightly, coming out of his trance. He figured everything there was and now was
dead serious and lost all of his child-like sides.
“We will be
followed,” – he told Itachi calmly. “As long as I am in this world someone will
come for me every chance they will be given.”
He shrugged uncomfortably and looked at the sky. “This is so
troublesome. And they had to start it when I am injured and can’t really get
away.” Tesla murmured more to himself.
"This
world...?" Itachi quarried, looking questioningly
at Tesla. "What do you mean 'this world'?" he asked, –
"who's following you?" it was vitally important that he knows
who he's facing, he knew that, "what kind of enemy are up
against?"
It was probably
the most he'd talked up till now, but he couldn't help it, it was a must.
Tesla turned
to Itachi, sitting more comfortably. He fell silent for a moment gathering his
thoughts to tell Itachi as much information as he could without really telling
him his own secrets.
“Did you see
the Wolf?” – He asked emphasizing the “wolf” word. “He is very powerful in his
homeland. Noble and shapeshifter; he also can control minds.” Tesla started. “When
I came to my senses in there he was around and talked to me. He was friendly
but now that I think about it and that I had time to identify him he probably
wants something from me. And he surely thinks of you as rival.” Tesla added.
"What
business does he have with you?" Itachi asked, he hadn't seen a wolf, but
it went along with his own analyzes from earlier. Shapeshifter, that would've
explained the oddness of it all, but Tesla had been very obviously avoiding
answering each and all his questions about all that world business and it was
starting to really get to the ninja, who was not going to let Tesla off the
hook that easily. Him being rivaled by someone didn't much bother him right now
as much as Tesla's annoying behavior.
"Other than
that. I asked you about the meaning of 'this world'. Answer me."
Tesla shifted
uncomfortable under the gaze of the ninja. Really, – he thought to
himself. – Sasuke has very long way till he can reach the level his brother
has when it comes to glaring.
“What meaning
can there be?” Tesla tried to make it easy sounding and just the play of the
words. “These words mean the world we are in.” He shrugged. “I am not sure
about what exactly he wants from me thought.” He added then, hopeful that he
will be able to make this more important. “You came before he could tell me in
detail.”
I don't have time
for this. Itachi thought, Tesla was still
insistent on not supplying him with answers. Getting half bits of
information isn't going to help him with anything, but Tesla seemed to
have already realized what's going on. Drastic measures are to be taken, he
decided.
Before
Tesla finished that sentence, Itachi's eyes were already red, the black
little markings inside them started turning, growing and connecting
and before Tesla could look away, he was under the ninja's mangekyu sharingan's
influence.
