Chapter 4
Cats out of the Bag
Sasuke pushed back his hair from his face, adjusting the glasses that were perched on his nose. He peered at himself in the bedroom mirror, he looked positively unremarkable. From the simple black button down, to the jeans that weren’t too tight, even the damn shoes were simple leather derbies. A frown marred his features, he didn’t like this. He didn’t even know why he had said yes besides the fact he would be able to get close to his target. Trap. The word filtered through his mind. Not just that. Ever since he had gotten here it always felt like he had eyes on him.
He had thought maybe his house had been bugged but…No. He had made so many sweeps it was impossible. His hands smoothed down the front of the shirt and he finally turned away from the mirror.
Slowly he released a steady breath, he wouldn’t shake his instincts they had served him well in the past. So he just had to accept the fact this was a trap just for him.
He armed himself; it was minimal at most, he wanted to make sure he could escape if needed. He had packed the car, the key in the ignition. If he had to run, he made sure provisions were made. He tucked the tactical knife inside his belt, at his lower back. It was easily covered by the shirt, he had a small pistol at his ankle. It was all he could do for now. Anymore and it would be obvious he was armed.
He moved towards a side window and glanced out, there were cars already in the driveway. No doubt about a handful of people had arrived. The watch at his wrist showed him it was already past 6:30. Sasuke frowned a little bit more, running was still an option but going back wasn’t. If Shikamaru’s intel was correct…he was literally stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Earlier that day
“You’re not going to believe what I found on this guy” Were the words Shikamaru started with. Sasuke had taken a seat leaning back on the chair. The other hadn’t bothered to send him anything, maybe it was too delicate?
“First of all he was part of some experimental military program, real intense shit. It’s like something out of a fucking comic.” A pause, “And I’m serious. It was some kind of project X kind of madness” Shikamaru made a scoffing noise. “But that’s not all. It wasn’t just him…I don’t have names just numbers…there’s not a lot of information out there, but what Ive been finding is so scattered I’ve had to piece it together like a damn puzzle”
Sasuke frowned as he listened, if it was anyone else he would think they were yanking his chain but Shikamaru didn’t put his ass on the line for nothing. “What else?” He demanded.
“Well that’s where the normal stops.” Sasuke almost wanted to retort ‘That was normal?’ But he didn’t. “He was 5 when he was introduced into the program, looks like he was pulled out of some kind of orphanage, no parents I can find.” Shikamaru sighed, having hesitated. Sasuke made an impatient noise. “Just keep going, I don’t have time to waste” Sasuke said in irritation hearing another sigh. “Damn troublesome you know that.” The man mumbled under his breath “He was used in a lot of military testing, missions, overseas a lot of time. Front line kind of stuff. He was a weapon...”
Sasuke heard the hesitation again. “I hope you’re sitting down” Sasuke ignored it and after another bit of silence Shikamaru continued. “From my count, he made over 2300 kills in a span of 9 years and…” A small breath, “Every mission he took he came back without a scratch…” Sasuke narrowed his eyes, “That’s impossible. Are you sure he made those kills?” Sasuke asked leaning forward, “…and not having a damn injury. You know even the best come back with something: bruises, broken bones, bullet wounds. It’s not possible” It was bullshit, it had to be some kind of propaganda Shikamaru had found.
“Tch. Please. I dug deeper. I was able to find the mission reports…those weren’t destroyed surprisingly enough. Solo missions. Blondie was on every one of them, even medical records afterword’s. There is nothing, nothing that indicates he ever had an injury…and what’s more…the facilities they kept him. 7 years ago it exploded. The people in the building though…100s of guards and scientists…they were torn to pieces before the explosion.”
The silence between them grew as Sasukes digested the words. It couldn’t be possible. Nothing like that existed in the real world. He would have heard of it! Seen it! “You’re telling me…the idiot I’ve been watching has been on overseas military missions, has a kill list over 2300 people…has never gotten a damn scratch, took out those he worked under and blew up the facilities…” He stated the words flatly, he couldn’t help the disbelief he felt. It wasn’t possible. Just the sheer amount of kills alone! What the hell was he dealing with?
“You don’t want to believe me but this is some serious troublesome shit” Came Shikamarus reply to his silence. “The scientific research was never published on what they did to him…but I can tell you he wasn’t the only one. It seems like there was a group of at least 7 or 8 subjects…I can’t find anything on them, or if they were part of the dead when the facilities exploded”
Sasukes lips pursed a moment, his suspicions only grew on Naruto’s ‘friends’. “He somehow disappeared, his records and information scrubbed or tagged on every database, military or otherwise. I know you’ve been watching him, I know I don’t have to tell you this but I highly doubt you being there is a secret to him. He has to have people protecting him to be off the grid this long. You should get out…” Sasuke was impressed by how much Shikamaru cared.
“Thanks Nara. Do me a favor, check on the names Neji and Kiba…I don’t have last names…and keep your head low…” Sasuke licked his lips adjusting the information in his mind. He hung up on Shikamaru and took a deep breath.
Why would Akatsuki want his head? Wouldn’t they want him alive? His eyes narrowed a moment, of course not. They wouldn’t want something like him to die.
They wanted Naruto alive. They wanted that weapon for their own.
He however, was just living bait. Which meant, he wasn’t the only one on this mission. ”Itachi” He hissed under his breath. That was the only other person he knew that would be sent after him. He took a calming breath sorting all the information in his mind. He had work to do.
~*~
Sasuke adjusted the glasses, part of him knew he should pull out of this mission, and try and disappear but if he was correct he knew it was too late. He was supposed to die here. He tch’d under his breath, it wasn’t like he had never faced his own death before, been tortured or against the odds. This was completely different though. His eyes flickered around but everything seemed normal, he had no doubt Itachi was already here. He fingers curled around the handle of the 6 pack he had brought and raised his hand to knock on the door.
The door swung open revealing the intensely staring Neji. Sasuke lifted the 6 pack and smirked winningly at the other. “I heard there was a party, well...Naruto invited me” He said, his eyes roving over the face. He could hear the loud music pumping in the backyard already. The body didn’t move from the doorway and Sasuke watched the flicker of rage pass over the face before it went impassive, “You must be...Obito” Neji finally said with a curt nod. “Neji” He reached out and shook the hand.
Neji wanted to scowl, they were all so tense that Naruto had pulled this stunt. What was he thinking?! Still as the Assassin stood in front of him, shaking his hand he wanted to kill the bastard and sweep Naruto to safety. He forced a smile and took the beer.
“Come in” He stepped to the side. “This way, everyone’s in the back…” Neji led him through the house quickly and to the back glass doors. Sasuke could tell he didn’t want him to see more then he had too but just glancing around told him plenty. He locked everything into memory, from the layout, to the exits, what windows were open and which ones were closed. Before he would have thought where he would place his surveillance. Now he was thinking exit strategy.
The glass door slid open and that damn massive dog came bounding up growling like a mad thing at him. Sasuke feigned a bit of fear. “Whoa pup...” His hands went up as he glanced around but an arm suddenly slung around his neck. Sasuke ‘jumped’ to the contact though he heard the blond coming a mile away.
“Hey hey hey Akamaru settle your fluffy ass down!” Naruto beamed jovially. “Welcome to the party!” He was dragging Sasuke over to a small group of people. Sasuke recognized Kiba, but the two girls he didn’t. Despite the smiles that lit their faces he could see the tension in their features. “Obito” He introduced himself, he learned the pink headed girls name was Sakura, the blond was Ino and officially he met Kiba.
“So you just moved in!” Ino said suddenly breaking the small silence that had started. “Yes just a few weeks ago” Sasuke nodded to her, “I’m working on a construction project in the city” He said with a smirk his head canting to the side in a charming kind of way. He hated this game. It wasn’t his forte, he was more ‘in the dark sliding the knife between your ribs’ kind of assassin. Still, even if it wasn’t his forte he excelled at every aspect of his job.
“Did you all meet each other in school? Seems like a pretty close group?” Sasuke turned the conversation on them. Naruto snickered, “You can say that” He replied, “I mean I practically grew up with dog breath over here…””Hey!” “And you met Neji coming in right?” Sasuke nodded watching how genially excited Naruto seemed about sharing this. He didn’t seem to have a care in the world.
“We both met Naruto during one of his sculpture seminars, when he first started” Sakura piped up loudly, smiling towards Sasuke, “I teach sports injury classes, Ino here teaches psychology to the upperclassmen.” She thumbed towards her friend. “Interesting” Sasuke mused with a smile, he would have to give the names to Shikamaru when he next called.
“Yeah these girls are awesome” Naruto piped up, “Oh shit food!” He suddenly let go of Sasuke and hurried over to the grill. Kiba snorted, his eyes swung towards Sasuke. He had been pissed when he heard what Naruto had pulled, and everything about the other made him want to growl! He reeked like death.
He kept the wolfish grin on his face though. “Yeah Obito you want a beer or something?” He asked suddenly, “Ah yes…that would be great” Sasuke said with a nod, “Oh oh grab me one Kiba!” Naruto yelled from the grill.
“Oh oh! Hey Neji! Neeeeeeji!!!” Naruto sang out seeing the man come out a platter. “Here you go ahead and take this over” He shoved the spatula in the others hand seeing the protest and ignored It., “Kiba why don’t you grab beers for all of us? I think I left the Heinekens in the fridge in the basement.” He grabbed Sasuke’s arm,
“Ah Naruto...” Sakura started but Naruto waved her off and was dragging Sasuke away. “Let me give you a proper tour!” He beamed, “Sorry Ino...Sakura this ones mine for a bit”
Sasuke couldn’t even protest but he let him drag him away, “I’m glad you could make it...I was getting worried when you didn’t show up...thought my running suit scared you off or something” Naruto blabbered as he moved him further back into the yard.
“Well….you know making good acquaintances…” Sasuke managed out of the strong grip straightening his shirt and smirked. “These are interesting…” He commented softly looking at one of the wooden statues pieced together in an undulating kind of way. He was aware of the fact they were moving away from the group. Very aware.
“Yeah...I just like seeing how big I can go you know....I was able to buy up the property back here…the woods go back another acre…” Naruto waved his hands towards the woods before turning to a large scrap metal sculpture, even back here the music was loud. “Hey check this guy out…it’s one of my favorites!” Sasuke’s arm was grabbed again as he was hauled behind a shed.
Out of sight.
If Sasuke hadn’t been as well trained as he was he would have missed the momentary bunching of the others muscles the second they were both out of view. He tore out of the others grip and jumped back as fist came out to the side, the knuckles brushed the glasses from his face, searing his cheek. “What the hell?!” he hissed, trying to keep his cover but he knew it was blown, “Oh don’t what the hell me!” Naruto snarled, “I know what you are. And I know who you’re after!”
Sasuke heard the crunch of his glasses and jumped back again feeling the shed siding. “Well glad to know you’re not the idiot I thought you were” He sneered dropping the false demeanor catching the arm and locking it before dodging the second fist.
“Yeah I figured you out real quick” Naruto snapped punching the wood next to where Sasukes head had been. No. Through the wood. Sasuke’s eyes widened a fraction, even as Naruto pulled his fist free, shook out the splinters he had started to bleed. His breath sharpened half a second. The wounds were closing.
“What the fuck are you” Sasuke narrowed his eyes. He strengthened his grip on the arm as he slid out the blade, it danced twice into the blond’s ribs. Naruto roared out but Sasuke was darting back out of the others reach. He had been prepared for a fight, and he hadn’t doubted Shikamaru’s intel but seeing something like that was quite different!
A hand caught the front of his shirt and was roughly slammed up against the side of the shed. The forced caused the breath to leave him momentarily but his body was already moving. The blade was flipped in his hand and he sank it into the Naruto’s side again earning a snarl of pain. “Fucker!” Howled Naruto, the fingers loosened briefly on his shirt. Sasuke eeled out from the grip and kicked Naruto hard in the spot he had just stabbed.
It brought him a mere second which wasn’t long enough in the least. Naruto grabbed him with both his hands and smashed him against the back of the shed again, a forearm caught up under his chin and forced against his throat. The eyes were red with rage, Sasuke’s never seen anything like it. He choked but didn’t panic. “You …already know what…I am” Hissed the blond leaning in close “I know you know…I know you’re here for me. I’m not going to let that fucking happen” Sasukes knife arm was trapped but the other swung half up slamming into the ribs
“No choice” He hissed back pummeling him twice more in the same spot as his vision blacked a moment. He struggled in the position before he crashed a knee into where the man’s liver was. A breath of air as the forearm relented and Sasuke rocked his head forward crashing into the blonds.
Another second gained. He hooked his foot behind the knee and shoved forward. He saw stars but the blond staggered. He went with him and bore to the ground. “I’m…a dead man…either way” Sasuke hissed even he punched Naruto hard in the mouth. An elbow caught him the side of the face but Sasuke got his hand around the throat the knife pressing in hard, blood was already seeping from under it. An arm swung towards him and he shifted his body and slammed his foot down on the forearm to pin it
Pain rocked through his face as a fist slammed into his mouth again. He jerked his head back as the balled up fist came around again. Sasuke put all of his weight into the knife but instead of a fist to the face fingers grabbed into his hair ripping him back. Sasukes knife lost its contact, the pinned hand grabbed his ankle. He was thrown down into the grass, a thigh shoved between his own. The knife flew from his hand, the large tanned grip was around his throat. And tight. Raging red murderous eyes had changed to bright clear blue.
He could hear someone yelling and a dog barking. His mind was furiously working, escape, that’s what he needed to focus on. His eyes widened as a mouth suddenly smashed into his own. The assault on his mouth threw his mind out of focus for a moment. It was hard, and it hurt and tasted like blood. The fight he knew had barely lasted a minute. The kiss felt like it lasted an eternity. Naruto pulled back, but not fully away.
“No worries…” he whispered not even looking over at the group that had rushed over “Just getting to know our very own assassin a bit better”
Neji’s eyes narrowed, “Get away from him Naruto. Let me finish it. We don’t have time to waste” He said flatly, he could see the multiple lacerations already healing on the blond’s body and stepped closer. “No.” Naruto said. His fingers hadn’t released Sasuke’s throat, they only tightened. All Sasuke could think was what he was waiting for, and why the hell was he kissed. Slowly the hand released his throat and Sasuke wheezed in a breath.
“Naruto…” Sakura started moving a step closer, “I’m fine! Neji go call Iruka…Kiba…go inside. Get...everything...anything you can fit into the cars. You know where the car plates are…Ino get whatever coolers you can find and get them filled with food…Sakura help Kiba…” He scowled as they all hesitated.
“I’m not leaving you with him” Neji said, he was furious it had even gotten to this point! “I can handle it. Just…call Iruka” Naruto had turned his voice into a small plead, Neji scowled and finally turned away nodding once to the others. He didn’t move very far though, “Akamaru, stay boy….tear him to pieces if he does anything” Kiba instructed and the large dog growled louder as Sasuke.
Naruto swung his gaze to the Sasukes his fingers tightening on the wrists as he waited until the footsteps faded “I’m going to get your gun” Naruto said his voice soft. Sasukes lips were in a firm line. The others body weight shifted, he felt the hand moving down his leg. There was enough space. Sasuke shifted using his more flexible form to wrap a leg around him and used his body way to propel them around. He put a knee to the throat and had his gun out. “Don’t fucking try it dog” He hissed pointing the pistol at the damn dog. He glared angrily down at the blond. “…you’re…damn good…something about you…” Naruto wheezed out. Sasuke ignored the pain in his face and throat. “Why didn’t you kill me” he snarled, cocking the gun even as the dog snarled and heard the steps coming towards them.
Naruto stared at him, “Because you said you’re a dead man, either way.” He replied not moving, his voice raspy since Sasuke hadn’t let up. “Which means you’ve got nothing to lose at this point” His head tilted back a little to relieve the pressure. Sasuke jerked and blocked a hand coming for him and jumped from Naruto but it was the blond who grabbed Neji’s hand, “Stop!” Naruto said quickly. “But…” Neji hissed angrily, “I said stop” Naruto looking to Sasuke. Sasuke didn’t know what made him stay on the spot, maybe it was the way those blue eyes pinned him. He took a ragged breath, the gun still in his hand.
Naruto crooked a slow grin towards at the raven headed man. The hesitation on the others face was evident, the gun still raised defensively. “I think we should take that beer now.”
