Chapter IV: When
The Price Of Caring Comes To Collect
Soft breaths
escaped salmon-colored lips, olive hued skin glowing under the sun�s
gentle radiance. Light lashes contrasting heavily against the soft
skin while, petite fingers curled around the edge of a white bed
sheet. Crisp sheets framing the child�s figure, creating a visible
outline of it. The sheets following each movement made by the small
chest, raising and falling in sync with rapid heartbeats.
Bhu-thump.
Bhu-thump.
Bhu-thump.
Birds chirped
outside, greeting each other and the rising sun. The moon still hung
in the sky, but with each ray, it was slowly fading into the
background of teal. A few splotches of dove-white could be seen on
the sky, but they showed no sign of any coming rain. One of the
clouds fluttered, hiding the dieing moon from view like a demon would
conceal his true nature. It is only second nature to hide hideous
intentions behind a mask of indifference. If one didn�t, then any
future plan or motive will surely burn in a basin of fire.
The petite figure
twitched in her dream. This time she wasn�t haunted by the strange
colored moon but instead by memories. Bittersweet memories that stung
her tongue and made tears bead in the corner of the eyes. Memories
from when she had only been five years old�the time when they had
taken her away.
She remembered how
she huddled in the cold corner of the cell as her mother, Uta,
bravely stood protecting her. The girl remembered how the cell door
screeched painfully when Kabuto had opened the door. The smell
wafting from his form was too clean, a mixture of latex gloves and
rubbing alcohol. The girl remembered clearly how he had grabbed her
roughly by the wrist, his grip bruising the tender limb as he jerked
her around like a child would to a rag doll. Yet the difference
between the silver-haired medic nin and a child was Kabuto wore a
satisfied smirk while he watched the young girl squirm as the mother
cried out in distress. The sound of cries and shouts filled the air
and the young girl slammed her eyes shut, in attempt to block it all
out.
�Pup�stop
it. Wake up.�
Iceberg eyes
fluttered open and stared silently at the whitewashed ceiling.
Blinking in confusion, she felt tears roll down the side of her face
and fall into the shell of her ears. Quickly rubbing them away in
embarrassment, and because they made her itch, she stifled an
oncoming troubled noise. Slowly sitting up, her palms met with a soft
mattress. A bed�was she in Sasuke�s bed? Turning her head to her
side, she found nothing but the edge of the bed and a polished wood
floor. Back at home�there were never wooden floors.
Jerking her head
around, Ren found herself being watched by many eyes, all hiding
behind painted masks. The stares were filled with curiosity while
still holding caution. �Sasuke�� The whisper hardly loud enough
to be met by anyone�s ears, but it was enough for young girl to
realize the Uchiha was not visible among the crowd that watched her.
A rush of fear poured into her body at the realization her protector
- her father wasn�t there.
Where was Sasuke?
Why was she here? Who were these people? Finding no answer in her
mind, her tiny hand clutched the sheet tighter, creating wrinkles.
Her heart began to increase in speed, her breathing suddenly becoming
ragged.
The masks became a
blur of white tainted by colors. The stares turning into ones of
hatred. Her mind remembering the times Kabuto would take her into
his lab, poke needles into her body. Ren�s body tensed, thinking of
all the things these people could be doing to her father. �They
took me away�they took me away from Sasuke-tousan!� Ren wildly
thought, and with the conclusion at hand the one nerve controlling
her anger snapped.
Her body lunged out
of the pristine sheets, using the bed as leverage to give her more
distance and power. The moon-like hair flowing behind the girl, as if
the hair was like a river of silver. The tresses following as the
small body attacked the closest person. Nails dulled by training
struck out, lips drawn back to show the two rows of sharp teeth with
canines protruding more than usual. She needed to get away from these
strangers. She needed to get back to Sasuke. Bare feet slapped
against the wooden floor, small hands were balled into fists ready to
strike again if necessary.
The noise of the
door swinging open caught Ren�s attention, and ignoring the masked
people in the room, her legs pushed forward to the door. A solitary
figure standing between her freedom and finding Sasuke. Her fists
tightened even more, cold eyes running over the body looking for a
weak point. At the sudden sight of blonde hair, Ren zoned in on the
face, the only one in the room not covered, and the brightest pair of
blue eyes looked back to her. This was the one from before. The one
who had called out Sasuke�s name! He was�
�Naruto Uzumaki.
Giving out a soft
growl, she pulled her right fist pack before darting at the male with
all the strength her body could muster.
Seeing the
approaching fist, Naruto moved out of the way with ease, letting the
attack only meet air. �Wait! We�re just trying to help you.�
Naruto shouted trying to capture the attention of the girl.
Overlooking the shouts, Ren kept throwing her fist towards Naruto.
Fingers grasping rough feeling shirt, had her eyes widening in
victory.
Clawing at the
blonde, she felt Naruto struggle to get her off of him. Evading his
attempts, she instead pulled her fist back, preparing to ram it
against the blonde�s cheek. Bringing it forward, a calloused hand
met the fist, wrapping around her hand tightly to not let anymore
damage occur. Not that much had been done anyway.
Blinking in
confusion, Ren turned her head to find the person responsible for
blocking her attack, and found a dark-haired male with milky-colored
eyes. The young jinchuuriki noticing that no pupils could be seen in
the male�s eyes.
�Let go!� She
cried out in frustration, her body twisting to the left. One hand was
still clutching to the blondes shirt, and the other latched onto this
male. And Ren did the only thing she could think of: she began to
claw and kick everything.
A grunt in
annoyance left the dark-haired male when one of her kicks hit true
and before he was able to grab her roughly by the shoulders, Ren
arched her back and proceeded to flip backwards. Her foot purposely
ramming with the underside of the blonde male�s chin, soon being
free from both. Landing on her feet, she staggered onto her legs,
weak from the constant days of staying in the bed and sleeping. With
legs still unused to walking, much less fighting, the moon-haired
girl lost her balance quickly, shortly finding herself on her butt.
Unable to resist, she looked up to see an annoyed looking shinobi
accompanied by Naruto, who was rubbing the place her kick had hit.
Without a second
thought, she scrambled to her feet, straining against her weak legs,
and heading toward the door. It had been left open and she could
easily leave and search for Sasuke. The sound of a low growl had the
girl pause mid-step to turn her head to the large white dog curled up
in the corner. Ren could feel her own hackles rise at the stare the
large dog was giving her. Biting her lip, she shook her head quickly,
removing all thoughts of fleeing from the immense creature. Refusing
to stand down, the moon-haired girl prowled towards the dove-colored
mutt, baring her teeth.
A low feral growl
escaped the small lips. Akamaru widened his lips as if sneering at
the girl, before responding with a soft bark in warning. Taken back
at the response, Ren�s icebergs eyes connected with the warm honey
brown ones. No feelings of disgust or hate radiated from the dog,
instead warmth, power and protectiveness was being spread out. The
harsh icebergs eyes grew warm and a small smile spread out across the
girl�s lips. A soft bark was returned, and what could only be taken
for a dog�s laughter was released from Akamaru�s mouth. The tense
atmosphere slowly diminishing into one of confusion and humor.
Sai, who had
decided not to take any part in the brawl stood from his spot at the
corner and was at Naruto�s side within seconds. Humming in
amusement as the blonde nursed his chin and the girl who was playing
with one of Akamaru�s large paws gave out another soft bark. �She�s
a bitch.� Naruto gave out a heavy glare at Sai who seemed to have
no idea what he just said. �He could just say �dog��bastard,�
the blonde�s mind grumbled.
The barks and
playful growls filled the air. Kiba stayed at his place, leaning
against the wall in silence. His dark eyes watching intently over his
companion and the girl who the dog had taken a liking too.
�Oi Kiba, any
idea what they are saying?� The dark-haired man moved his gaze from
the pair to his blonde friend. Smiling in his usual wolf like grin,
Kiba pondered on whether or not he should tell the truth or freak the
blonde out.
�Just something
about the stupidity of foxes and how it�s much more fun hunting
them then listening to them talk.�
�What did you say
dog-breathe?�
�Yeah heard me
ba-KA.�
Sighs were released
from all over the room, as the two elite shinobi�s used their fist
to convoy what there minds couldn�t.
♪Sairen♪
Sakura hurried
across the hospitals halls. The last few days finally taking their
toll on her exhausted body.
�It�s bad
enough we used all of our chakra to come back with her in two days
when it had taken us five to get to the Sound Country, but with
Sasuke and the girl in such a weak state�I haven�t had sleep for
the last seventy-two hours! First Sasuke�s seal goes wild trying to
take over his body, and when we finally are able to stabilize him to
the point were he should have complete control of the seal. The girl
who was with him decides to go into cardiac arrest, and her chakra
fluctuating so many times, no one knew what was going on!�
Taking a deep
breath, Sakura tried to remain calm, not wanting to think of
everything else she had been forced to take care of, including
healing Sai who wouldn�t stop complaining of how she had dropped
him to go to the �pathetic Uchiha� and a fretting Naruto who she
had ended up just hitting over the head, telling him that Sasuke was
fine. Regretting it only seconds later when the blonde decided not to
leave the last Uchiha�s side for the last two days
Just making matter
worse, the moment the group carrying Sasuke and the girl, called Ren,
arrived at the gates of Konoha, members of the ANBU had tried to kill
Sasuke at sight, never caring that he had been hanging on to life by
a thin thread. And when Sakura was finally able to get Sasuke and Ren
into a stable state, did she hear that rumors were already going on
about Sasuke returning, and the little girl being his daughter
�His daughter�Ren
had called him tousan. Could Sasuke really have a daughter?�
Shaking her head at the ridiculous thoughts of the anti-social Sasuke
trying to raise a girl, Sakura turned the corner expecting to her the
heavenly silence that came with every hospital. Curses and barks
filled her ears, her mind alerting the medic kunoichi of the headache
that would soon come.
Pausing in front of
the door that held Ren, all the noises were resonating from this
room. Gripping the handle tightly, Sakura prayed for all the things
she didn�t want to be behind the door. Sliding the door open with a
loud bang, all eyes shifty turned to the intruder. At first the eyes
held the preparation to attack, but once seeing the look grazing the
pink-haired medic nin�s face, the eyes were filled with fear.
Narrowing her eyes,
Sakura took it all in. Ren sitting on top of Akamaru playfully was
tugging the dove colored coat, Naruto�s fist on Kiba�s face and
vice versa, Neji calmly standing near his ANBU squad and Sai watching
humorously at the pair of shinobi idiots. �Damn you Kami! Couldn�t
you just listen to me for once?!� Inner Sakura yelled into the dark
sky. Gritting her teeth, Sakura did the exact opposite of her
counterpart.
�What the hell is
going on in here? Who�s barking? Naruto, Kiba why are you fucking
fighting! We are in a hospital damn it! Do you have any respect for
the sickly?!� Sakura bellowed out, a hypocrite to her one words.
�Hehe�Sakura-chan.
You see�well Ren kinda went out of control and then�yeah��
With a wide grin, Naruto rubbed the back of his head, all in attempt
to avoid his teammate�s deadly fists.
�Don�t blame
things on the poor innocent girl Naruto!� Quicker than most could
see, Sakura brought her fist down on the blonde, a cry of pain
escaping his lips. A loud bark had green eyes turning to the side,
were Ren sat on top of Akamaru laughing, while pointing to the
complaining blonde. A frown quickly found a way on her face as she
walked over. Her right hand still in a fist and before Ren could turn
her head up, a fist met with the top of her head.
�Itaii!� Ren
cried out as her hands went up to rub her abused head. �Hey what
was that for, you ugly lady!?�
Before Sakura could
open her mouth and retaliate, the unnoticed curtain blocking the
other patient�s bed moved to the side. Revealing a half dressed
Sasuke, the pants provided by the hospital low on his hips and the
top discarded to show the lean muscles, a result of training for all
those years. Leaning against the wall, the sun filtered through the
window gave his body a soft glow, as if he was a god sent down from
the heavens. The dark hair ruffled from sleep and the eyes
half-opened, as if satisfied. This was the look all of the fan girls
had dreamed about since they were young, one they had missed by being
too frightened to come into the hospital.
�Ren�must you
always be so loud?� Ren twisted her body, her eyes widening when
they fixed unto the Uchiha�s form. A large grin spread through her
face, scrambling off Akamaru, standing weakly on her own legs.
�Gomen,
Sasuke-tousan.� Ren laughed. At the release of a heavy sigh from
Sasuke�s lips, Ren pouted, her eyes downcast. Slyly lifting her
eyes, still pretending to be upset, a hint of a smile graced the
Avenger�s face, spreading a warm feeling throughout the girl�s
body. The warmth leaving the moment the Uchiha�s eyes flickered to
the golden-haired jinchuuriki, who was standing quietly at the
corner, unsure of what to say. Ren hummed in disappointment, her lips
growing into a bigger pout at the attention the blonde was receiving.
Moving away from the dove-colored canine, the moon-haired jinchuuriki
found herself confronted by Sai.
�From the guess
of it�you probably have a penis. Congratulations,� Sai mused,
lightly raised an eyebrow in amusement.
Ren just tilted her
head to the left in curiosity, �What�s that?�
Sai sighed,
crouching down as Ren followed suit. �Alright�you better listen
because I won�t repeat myself,� Sai whispered softly, Ren nodding
her eyes sparkling with curiosity, her ears ready to listen intently
to ever word from the half-clad shinobi.
♪Sairen♪
Naruto was puzzled.
He dreamt dreams of him finding Sasuke and finally being able to talk
to him. It came out easy and smoothly�but now Naruto suddenly felt
his words choked in his throat. A part of him wanted to go up to
Sasuke and the other part wanted to just leave. �Come on, Naruto!
Just talk to him.� The golden-haired nin watched Sasuke take a step
forward before stopping.
�Why did you
bring me here?� Sasuke asked, the tension held in the air finally
cracked. Naruto frowned and lightly gave out a scoff in return.
�I brought you
here because it�s your home.�
�I have other
priorities to think about first than being back here.�
�Priorities?
Sasuke, this is your home! How can you say that being back here isn�t
important? You�re out of Orochimaru�s clutches! Stay here!�
�I am not out of
his clutches. There are still things I need to do, Naruto.�
�Like what?
Revenge? Sasuke, you can have a new life and stay here. A clean slate
and all!�
�I rather live
the life I have now. What I wish to do is none of your business.�
�That�s not
true! It is my business!� Naruto growled out, the two unknowingly
had gotten closer suddenly finding themselves face-to-face. Sasuke
remained silent, his brows furrowing together in frustration. The
sound of Ren in the background giggling and clapping her hands could
be heard, but no one paid attention. Sasuke gave out a snarl in
frustration, seeing that Naruto wasn�t going to back down.
�You�re the
same as how I �� Sasuke began, closing his eyes in annoyance.
Before being able to continue, he was cut off. The words dieing at
his throat by the chaste touch of warm lips.
�Sasuke-tousan!
Sasuke-tousan! Guess what I learned!� Ren chirped, her arms tightly
around Sasuke�s neck from her lunge. Hearing no response, she
frowned and jumped off his back. �Sasuke-tousan!� she cried out,
placing her hands on her hips. Moving to the side to discover why her
father wasn�t responding, her jaw dropped at the site. Instead of
seeing Sasuke still frowning, the lips had been shoved against
Naruto�s. �Oops,� she murmured, realizing what she had done
when she had lunged at Sasuke, moving his body the few centimeters it
needed to attach to the lips of the blonde.
The voice filled
with guilt broke Sasuke from the daze brought on by the lips. His
hands coming back to life suddenly, hastily pushing away the
red-faced Naruto. Wiping his mouth with the back of his pale hand, he
could no longer feel the heat radiating from the blonde on his skin.
All eyes stared in shock at what they just witnessed. Sasuke quickly
turning his back to them, his jaw clenched in silent frustration, not
wanting to show the heat spreading across his cheeks to anyone.
�Baka,� Sasuke
finally spoke, in the stifling silence, smirking.
�I am not!� Ren
and Naruto cried out, both voices shouting their denial. Eyes so
similar only by the rough label blue, rapidly turned to look at each
other, meeting. Ren growled, crossing her arms in frustration. She
didn�t like how Naruto had responded to Sasuke�s word of
endearment, how Naruto apparently seemed so close to Sasuke, how
Sasuke actually acknowledged the blonde. To Ren, Sasuke�s teasing
words, that to any one else would seen as an insult, were in fact
caring terms Sasuke used in his blind attempt to hide the adoration
for others. But�for Naruto to respond so quickly, Sasuke must have
insulted Naruto countless of times before Ren had ever met Sasuke.
Before he had ever been her father. Before she valued his opinion of
her.
A pain spread
through her chest, feelings of losing Sasuke to the blonde,
increasing. Sasuke was the only family Ren had left, if he left who
could she depend on? Who would she train to impress? Who would holder
her during the times of fear and pain?
�No�I don�t
want to lose Sasuke-tousan�not to him.�
�I�ll kill
him�Let me out and I�ll kill him. You�ll have Sasuke all to
your self�if you just let me OUT!�
The last word a
scream, resonating loudly in Ren�s mind. Searing jolts of pain
spread throughout her whole body, intensifying per second. Wrapping
her arms around her waist, Ren�s knees buckled unable to fold the
body. Her chakra leaked from her body, rising in power, drawing all
eyes to her crumpled form. Cries of pain ripped from the throat of
the moon-haired girl. The chakra growing steadily, chocking the room
with power.
�REN!�
At the sound of
Sasuke�s voice, the eyes lids Ren couldn�t remember closing,
snapped opened. The icebergs fighting to shine through the ebony veil
over her eyes. �NO!� Ren screamed in her mind, fighting against
the voice. The howl of a wounded animal filled the small room. The
chakra pushing to its limits, reached its peak with the scream.
Closing her eye lids Ren fell into the calling darkness, cutting off
the chakra.
Seeing the body
crumple to the ground, feet dashed towards the unconscious girl.
Sasuke was the first to reach his daughter, crouched down, and pulled
Ren into her arms. Flipping her over comfortably, Sasuke lifted the
hospital gown, the olive skin hot enough to burn his skin. Ignoring
the feeling of danger, dark eyes skimmed the small back, coming
across almost instantly a counter clockwise jagged spiral on the
lower section of the girls back.
The seal burning
red.
Frowning, Sasuke
skimmed his fingers over the hostile looking pattern, feeling deep
inside something was wrong. At the familiar pulse of power, dark eyes
widened. The chakra was one he was use to, for the same power emitted
from his own seal given to him by his sensei. Over the seal, another
one lay, this one creating a havoc with the originals properties.
�Fuck!� At the sound of the word, all eyes turned away from the
unconscious girl, to the dark-haired nuke nin.
�Sasuke what�s
going on?� The words of his pink-haired ex-team mate held concern,
and Sasuke knew he was in no position to be picky.
�Orochimaru
somehow placed a seal on her body. The seal is clashing with her
chakra and everything is going haywire and reacting to her emotions,�
Sasuke murmured to the medic nin, pulling down the gown. Sasuke
gritted his teeth, knowing what he needed to do. He had to go
back�had had to finish it.
�Kiba! Go find
Jiraiya-sama. Tell him we need him in here now!� Sakura screamed,
going from concerned teammate to doctor within seconds. Removing
himself from the wall, clad in the traditional uniform of the ANBU,
Kiba took a glance at the girl who seconds ago had been playing
happily with Akamaru and nodded. Pulling down the white mask,
resembling a dog, Kiba strolled across the tiny room, opening the
window which had showered the room in sunlight and leapt through it.
The large muzzle
belonging to Akamaru lifted to watch his master leave, before turning
to the girl who had spoken with him. Whining softly, the large head
lowered, watching carefully with his large eyes.
�Okay Sasuke we
have to get her back in bed,� Sakura told the Uchiha. Taking a deep
breathe, the pink-haired kunoichi prepared herself in case Sasuke
would act protective. Slowly Sakura wrapped her arms around the small
frame belonging to the girl. Carefully she lifted the body away from
Sasuke�s arms. Placing her down on the bed, Ren had used to attack;
Sakura quickly summoned healing chakra to her hand. The green glow
passed over Ren�s body, checking carefully to see how damaged the
girl was. Seconds ticked by before Sakura pulled away, satisfied.
�The seal is the
only thing causing her problems. It�s messing with her chakra and
some of her organs, but if Jiraiya comes soon, Ren should be okay.�
Sasuke�s eyes
softened hearing the words come from the pink-haired doctor. Drawing
his eyes away from the wooden floors, he got to his feet heading
towards the door.
�Sasuke!�
Naruto�s voice cried out. Sasuke paused, not bothering to turn
around to see the blonde. �Let me help you,� Naruto spoke once
more. Sasuke tried not to sigh, shaking his head instead. This fight
was his. If he couldn�t beat Orochimaru by himself, then it would
be pointless to try and avenge his clan by killing Itachi.
�No. Watch Ren
and if she asks�I�ll be back soon.� Sasuke calmly spoke, before
walking through the door, closing it shut. Naruto growled in
distress, his brows furrowing, all eyes watched the fuming blonde.
�Naruto�if
Sasuke steps outside this hospital the ANBU will no longer consider
him injured and will kill him.� The cool tone from Neji�s voice
had Naruto curling his fist in anger, knowing full well the ANBU
Captain was right.
After all there was
no way in hell he was gonna let Sasuke walk off again!
Mind set, the
blonde raced out of the room into the hallway. Sasuke was only a few
steps ahead of him, walking at a purposeful pace. Snarling, Naruto
rushed to the Uchiha, his once best friend.
Right hand reached
out, grabbing Sasuke�s dangling wrist. Pulling him to a stop,
Sasuke gave out an annoyed sigh.
�I�m not going
to let you do this by yourself! Stay here!� Naruto cried out
fiercely.
�Naruto,�
Sasuke calmly spoke, �I have to do this alone. I need to finish off
what I started.�
�Shut up! Can�t
you realize that doing things on your own will never solve anything?
Let me help you!� Seeing no change in the nins face, Naruto
remembered the reaction Ren had over the Uchiha.
�Have you ever
stopped to think about any one besides yourself? Think about Ren! You
need to stay here for Ren�s sake! Stay here for Ren�and me��
The last two words a whisper Naruto prayed the Uchiha had heard.
The blond watched
Sasuke�s back muscles tensed slightly before relaxing in defeat.
Releasing the dark-haired teen�s wrist, he took a step back, giving
room for Sasuke to turn around, not wanting a repeat of the kiss they
had shared. Ignoring the warmth that spread remembering the brush of
lips, Naruto focused on the man in front of him.
Dark eyes brooding
on what Naruto said and the whisper.
�I�m not going
to let you go again,� Naruto added in a soft but determined voice.
Sasuke tilted his head to the ceiling, eyelids closed in thought.
With out noticing Naruto found himself staring at the exposed neck,
taunting the blonde, making him move a step closer.
Naruto made a low
whine in distress when Sasuke looked back at Naruto and the neck was
no longer fully exposed. �Fine. I�ll stay for Ren�s sake��
Sasuke decided, moving past Naruto and back to the room. Naruto
sighed in relief, the words slowly beginning to sink in.
�Hey! What!? Why
just for her�s sake!� Naruto demanded, turning at the perfect
moment to see the dark-haired nin send him a smirk before closing the
hospital room door.
Naruto grinned,
rubbing his nose with his finger. Maybe things were getting better.
Just maybe�
♪Sairen♪
Crimson eyes stared
silently in the distance as rain gently fell from the heaven. Fingers
lightly touched the moist floor, dirt clinging onto the cream-colored
fingers. �The Five-Tails was here�� the dark-haired male
murmured before standing up. Turning to his partner, crimson eyes met
with beady black ones.
�It�s seems
Zetsu was a bit off�this is more west than north,� Kisame noted,
leaning against one tree of the few trees still left standing. The
trees surrounding the clearing scarred with marks from kunais and
jutsus. Itachi turned his gaze to the ceiling of leaves and
stretching branches above him. The image blurred for a moment before
returning back to normal. Kisame�s eyes scrutinized Itachi,
noticing a muscle in Itachi�s cheek twitch.
Something was
wrong. Kisame had been partnered with Itachi long enough to pick up
on small details that gave off what the younger male was truly
feeling. Something was bothering Itachi. Giving off a soft growl,
Kisame broke the silence, �Give it a rest, Itachi.� The younger
nin�s brows furrowed, turning his head back toward Kisame.
�The Akatsuki
has no room for members who become useless. Just give your eyes a
rest,� Kisame went on, his crisp voice making the words burn on
Itachi�s pride. Kisame watched nostrils flare slightly despite the
fact that Itachi�s voice was a blank mask.
�You always have
a way with words, Kisame,� Itachi finally replied in his
passionless voice, his eyelids slowly opening to reveal onyx eyes.
Kisame sighed in relief as the muscles in his shoulders relaxed.
Kisame could swear Itachi was going to strangle the life out of him.
�However,� the younger nin drawled, �When Zetsu comes to us��
Kisame sighed and gave a nod.
�We should
probably find some shelter before the storm gets worse,� Kisame
murmured, Itachi giving a slow nod of acknowledgment. The two nins
were soon off, their bodies jumping toward the branches and landing
on them with ease. The pattern went on: jump, land, jump, land, jump,
land, jump, land. The quest to find shelter becoming a bleak one.
Minuets seemed to quickly tick by and already the two nins found
themselves soaked by the rain�s water.
The sudden sight of
the cave had the two nins making a mad dash. At the cave front, the
two nins landed gently on the ground. Hair clinging to their heads
possessively as water continued to fall on them. �Home sweet home,�
Kisame mused dryly as Itachi stepped inside and sighed softly in
reply. �I�ll try to find something we can burn to make a fire,�
Kisame stated after a moment of silence, walking deeper into the
cave, leaving Itachi where he stood. Allowing a shiver to run through
his body, his cream-colored hands began to pull his cloak off of him.
It held on to his body, proving to be difficult to the Uchiha.
Finally, after some struggle, the cloak came off and the water was
soon squeezed out from material.
Feeling Kisame�s
chakra signature grow near, Itachi moved a bit back, his bare back
touching the cool walls of the cave. The sound of sticks and twigs
clacking on the ground echoed through out the cave, before light soon
filled the cave as the sticks were lit. Dark beady eyes watched the
light playing against Itachi�s body as the younger nin gently
placed his cloak near the fire. Kisame followed suit, beginning to
take off his cloak after placing his sword down carefully.
The sound of a
sucking noise was heard and Kisame raised his head to look at the
exposed nin who only wore his ebony undergarment that clung
deliciously to Itachi�s body. Beads of water ran down the sculpted
abdomen and disappearing when they reached the Uchiha�s boxers. The
light from the fire illuminating the nin�s body as he stood there
trying to warm up his body.
�See something
you like?� Itachi asked in that passionless voice of his but on
those salmon-colored lips was the faint hint of a knowing smirk.
Kisame snorted, placing his pants next to his coat by the fire.
Sitting down, he leaned his muscular back against the wall. Ruffling
his own dark blue hair, his eyes closed and a small smile graced his
lips.
�And what if I
did?� Kisame replied in an amused tone. Itachi blinked in
confusion, not at all expecting for the shark nin to make a reply at
all, let alone that one. Itachi frowned and took the hair tie out,
allowing his ebony curtain of hair cascade down on his shoulders.
Kisame opened his eyes blinked in shock to see a creamy hued thigh
right before him. Leave it to Itachi to move quicker than a
heartbeat. �Eh? What a nice sight,� Kisame sniggered, watching
the muscles tighten in reply.
�For such a
polite being�you tend to stick your head in dirty gutters here and
there,� Itachi replied in a soft growl giving a warning to the
shark. Kisame shrugged his shoulders and looked up at the towering
Uchiha who had his arms crossed before him.
�For being such
a reserved nin, you tend to stick certain body parts in other
people�s faces here and there,� Kisame shot back in a laughing
voice, causing the Uchiha to narrow his eyes.
�Oh shush, you
should be glad that I convinced you to keep the Sharig � Zetsu?�
Kisame began but cut himself off as he finally noticed a certain
member of the Akatuki. Itachi�s head jerked toward the other male,
hastily taking a step back.
Zetsu tilted his
head to the side like a confused puppy, happening to come in to see
Itachi and Kisame in a�strange position. Itachi grumbled a curse
and Kisame gave toothy grin.
�Zetsu? News?�
Kisame inquired, Itachi retreating to his side of the cave, taking a
seat. �Zetsu better keep his mouth shut about this or I�ll carve
him like a pig,� Itachi thought silently, activating the Sharingan
once more.
�I apologize for
stumbling in�I should have known,� Zetsu began in that robotic
voice of his while Kisame narrowed his eyes in question; �I know
the exact location of the Five Tails. The Five Tails is in Konoha. My
sources are never wrong and I have felt its energy. Boss-sama says to
hurry.� Kisame gave a nod and watched the Venus Flytrap disappear
into the ground.
�Take it off,�
Kisame grumbled, resting his chin in the palm of his hand.
�Hmm?� Itachi
replied, his eyes closed as he leaned against the back of the wall.
�The Sharingan. I
saw what you did. Now change it back, I don�t want a blind
partner.�
�Kisame�if you
keep this up, I might get the faint impression that you are caring
for me.�
Kisame snorted and
shook his head gently, �Now why would I be fond of you?�
�You seemed quite
friendly with my thigh just a few minuets ago,� Itachi replied,
feeling himself slowly drifting into sleep. Kisame gave a nonchalant
shrug, staring at the fire�s flickering flames.
�You should be
worrying about Zetsu. If he tells Boss-sama, who knows how he�ll
react,� Kisame replied but his worry falling on deaf ears, for the
younger nin was already fast asleep. Kisame stared at Itachi, brows
furrowing in a silent question before relaxing. Turning his gaze to
the cave�s ceiling, he stared at the dancing shadows before they
soothed him into a sleep with dreams of the moon and tuna.
