Do you have any idea how much that means to me for someone to say that?
I freaking love you. X3 I'm not sure why fanfiction .net readers won't
read it either. -shrugs- Well either way it's not discouraging me
because one, my beta loves this story, and two, the aff readers are
reviewing as well. -nods-
Several agonizingly
painful hours later, Itachi stumbled from the elevator, fumbling
around in his pockets for his keys to get into the apartment. One of
his classmates had decided to be funny and steal his stuff before he
could get to his car. He'd chase the guy for about half an hour
before a friend of his caught him and beat the shit out of him,
figuratively speaking of course. That would have been gross
otherwise.
He finally pulled
out the keys, selected the right one and shoved it into the lock,
twisting it until he heard a click. He removed the key and shoved the
door open, stepping inside and closing it behind him. He toed off his
shoes and made his way down the hallway, not noticing the pair of
eyes on him as he passed the living room.
He grumbled
something about stupid assholes as he shouldered the door to his room
open, dropping his backpack on the floor before moving to the bed and
falling haphazardly onto his bed, one leg missing so his foot
remained on the floor.
“Aniki?” a
familiar voice said from the doorway.
Itachi groaned, but
didn't move. He was to exhausted from all of that running he'd done
not to long ago. He'd practically sprinted the entire time after the
guy trying to catch him.
“Aniki? Are you
okay?” Sasuke asked, stepping into the room and approaching his
brother's bed.
Itachi grunted in
response.
“What happened?”
Itachi grunted again
and turned his head, looking at Sasuke with one eye. “One of my
asshole classmates decided it would be funny to steal my backpack and
run off with it. I chased the guy for at least thirty minutes
before one of my friends caught him and got it back for me. I'm
fucking tired.”
Sasuke nodded.
Thanks to Naruto he was feeling loads better, and he wanted to make
sure his brother was okay. “Do you want anything to eat or drink?”
he asked, kneeling down to look at his brother.
“Maybe in a little
bit,” Itachi replied, yawning widely. “How are you?”
“I'm okay,”
Sasuke murmured. “I... I'm glad he was here today. He helped me a
lot.”
Itachi nodded.
“That's good. Did Sakaye call to see how you were?”
Sasuke nodded. “She
called a couple of hours ago. She wanted to talk to you, but you
weren't home so she said she'd call back later.”
“Okay,” he
replied, yawning again and closing his eyes. “Wake me up when she
calls? I'm really tired.”
“Okay,” Sasuke
replied, using the bed to push himself to his feet. He looked down at
his brother once more before turning and leaving the room, closing
the door as silently as he could behind him. He padded down the
hallway back to the living room, moving around and sitting back down
on the couch next to Naruto.
“How is he?”
Naruto questioned, looking over at his newest friend.
“Exhausted.
Apparently one of his classmates decided to take his stuff and run
off with it. He chased the guy until one of his friends caught him
and got it back,” Sasuke replied, leaning back against the couch.
“Ah,” Naruto
replied, looking away and turning back to the TV.
“Police
are still investigating the scene where earlier today the body of an
unnamed victim was found in alley. Police say there had been some
kind of struggle before the man had been murdered by what they assume
to have been a metal bar of some sort. No weapon's used to attack the
man were found, and we've been told they have not found anything
relating to the attacker just yet. Let's go now toKawasaki Maki for an update at the scene.
“Kawasaki-san,
can you give us an update?”
“From what
we've learned so far, the police suspect there may have been
,multiple attackers. How many, they are still unsure of.”
“Kawasaki,
where are you now?”
“I'm on the
sidewalk just outside the alley where the attack took place. Just a
few minutes ago they completely closed the area when an armored black
truck arrived on the scene. They curtained off the area and we
haven't heard anything since.”
“Any idea
who the people in the truck are?”
“Unfortunately
no. The truck backed into the alley, and I believe the driver may
have gone out through the back with whoever was inside. As soon as we
know any more, we'll let you know.”
“Thank you
Kawasaki-san.”
“Today,
Usami Industries-”
Naruto muted the TV. “This is weird,” he said.
“What is?” Sasuke asked,looking at the blond.
“This isn't normal in Konoha. Just last month I think about eight
killings were reported, and they never found the culprit or any leads
to who did it.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, and that armored truck has been at every single one reported
on the news. It shows up out of nowhere and then the entire crime
scene is closed off and no one is able to see what's going on inside.
I just wonder who the hell they are. I asked my dad about it, but he
said he had no idea who the were, and no one has ever seen anyone
leave that truck. Not even the driver. The windows look are like, the
darkest tint so you can't even see inside. It's really weird.”
Sasuke nodded. “Maybe the people in that truck know more than we're
being told, and they don't want the public to know anything about
what's going on.”
Naruto looked at him and shrugged, nodding his head. “Make sense,”
he replied. “They're probably like a Black Ops unit or something.”
“Maybe,” Sasuke said, taking the TV remote and pushing the power
button, turning the machine off.
Naruto yawned and rubbed his rumbling stomach. “I'm hungry. I'm not
a great cook, your brother is asleep, and I don't-”
Sasuke rolled his eyes and interrupted him, “There's no need for
you tell me what I already know. We can just order pizza or
something.”
“Mm. Pizza sounds good,” Naruto replied, rising from his seat and
heading to the kitchen to grab the cordless phone. “What do you
want on it?”
“Just cheese is fine,” he replied, laying down on the couch.
“How boring,” Naruto commented, dialing the number of a place he
regularly ordered from when his father wasn't home or when the
servants were to busy to care.
When he asked where the hell this place was, Sasuke told him the
address and Naruto continued with telling them what he wanted.
“Said they'll be here in half an hour,” Naruto said, reentering
the room. He made to sit down on the couch when he noticed Sasuke was
stretched out and asleep on it. He smiled softly and knelt down by
his head, lifting a hand and running his fingers lightly through the
silky black hair. He'd never dare do this when the Uchiha was awake.
Slowly he leaned forward and pressed his lips to Sasuke's forehead.
-
“Say it again. I fucking dare you.”
“Usami-sama please calm down!”
“Nadia, shut up,” Sakaye growled, turning her head to glare at
the woman.
“What? Can't handle the truth?” the man said, sneering at the
dark haired woman standing before him.
Sakaye turned back to him, eyes darkening and flashing angrily.
“Truth? You dare tell me that what you are saying is truth? Why the
hell would I ever believe a fool like you? You've been feeding me
lies since the day I met you, Ilya.”
Ilya laughed. “Have I now,” he stated. “Or is it you just don't
want to believe me. Which is it?”
Sakaye
snorted and advanced towards the slowly retreating man, her hand
shooting out and grabbing the lapels of his jacket, pulling him
towards her. “You're a fool, Ilya Balk.
You will pay for the crimes against Lady Mika Shirokii. I assure you
of that. Nadia, alert the authorities that we have apprehended a
criminal and wish for them to take him away,” she said, her hand
grabbing Ilya's arm and twisting it behind his back, her leg kicking
at his legs to force him to the ground.
Ilya fell heavily, Sakaye on top of him with her knee pressed into
his back. Nadia nodded and handed Sakaye a rope with which to tie the
man's hands. Sakaye made quick work of it as Nadia left the room.
“I'm so glad you know nothing about me, Balk,” Sakaye said,
rising from where she knelt, placing a foot on the man's back to hold
him down. “You will be incarcerated, and they shall; be given
evidence of your crimes.”
“What are you talking about?” he spat.
“You think I didn't know? You've been stealing money from my
grandmother for years. Not only that, but you have also committed
quit a few murders. I'm sorry to say, but your relatives will be held
responsible for returning all of the money you have stolen over the
years. They'll be in debt and it will be all your fault. I do hope
that makes you happy.”
“Leave my family out of this!” he snarled.
“I'm sorry, but I cannot do that, Balk,” Sakaye replied, watching
as the man rolled onto his back and sat up, glaring up at her. “For
you see, you crossed the line, and now I am furious. It is not my
wish to do this to your family, but I will do what must be done. They
will know that their misfortune can all be blamed on you and no one
else. It can't possibly be my fault that they'll probably be thrown
into the streets.”
“You heartless bitch!”
Sakaye shrugged and laughed. “So I've been told. Although, I am
also sure your boss won't be to happy to hear that you been
imprisoned, and that you may be facing a death sentence unless you
tell me everything you know.”
“What?”
“You heard me,” Sakaye said, kneeling in front of him. “I know
for a fact that you work for Orochimaru. My sources inside tell me
they've seen you numerous times entering his base of operations in
Russia, and doing things for him. Murder, robbery, and other crimes
I'm not going to bother listing since you already know them all.”
Ilya narrowed his eyes at the smirking woman. He turned his head to
the side and spit at the ground before turning back to her. “I will
tell you nothing!” he snarled.
“Have it your way,” Sakaye said, shrugging as she stood back up.
“Ma'am, the police have arrived,” Nadia said, reentering the“Thank you Nadia. Good evening officers.”
“Hello Usami,” one of the uniformed men said. “Is this him?”
“It is,” Sakaye replied, nodding her head at Ilya. “I have
undeniable proof that he has committed quit a few murders and has
been embezzling money from my Grandmother for years. I'll have it
sent to you tomorrow, will that be alright?”
“Yes,” the second man replied as the other pulled the fuming Balk
to his feet.
“You'll pay for this,” Ilya spat at her.
“I doubt it,” Sakaye replied. “Oh, and do be aware that the man
will not talk. He seems intent on keeping his secrets. One more
thing.”
“What is it?”
“Please inform his family that Ilya Balk is most likely facing an
execution.”
The second man nodded as the first dragged him out, leaving Sakaye,
Nadia and the second officer behind.
“It's good to see you again, Vlad,” Nadia said.
Vlad looked at Nadia and smiled. “Likewise Nadia,” he replied,
turning back to Sakaye. “Sorry to hear about your grandmother. She
was a good woman.”
Sakaye nodded. “Yes,” she replied quietly. “She was a splendid
woman.”
“When's the funeral?”
“Saturday. You're welcome to come.”
“I will,” Vlad said, nodding his head. “I'd very much like to
pay my respects. When will you be leaving?”
“As soon as everything is finalized. I've got to get back to Japan
as soon as I can.”
“It's about the youngest one, right?”
“Yes.
He took it pretty hard, but I spoke with Tsunade and she assured me
that the boy she sent home with him will help him immensely. So I
hope he'll be better in no time. It's hard knowing you just lost
someone important to you.”
Vlad nodded. “Aye,” he replied. “I know what's that like.”
“Most of us do,” Nadia replied, looking at Sakaye.
“By the way, Nadia. I meant to ask. Will you be coming with me back
to Japan?” Sakaye asked, looking at the dark haired woman.
“Yes,” she replied almost immediately. “You'll need someone to
take care of those two and make sure no one can get to them while
you're away. I will gladly do that. And we both know you can't take
care of those dogs on your own, and neither can they.”
Sakaye laughed and nodded. “True, although the newest one won't be
your responsibility.”
Nadia nodded. “That I understand, but the other three I will gladly
look after. What have you done about finding a home there?”
“I'll have Itachi look into it for me,” she replied. “The
apartment he has is nice, but not nearly big enough for the four of
us and four large dogs”
Nadia nodded.
“Sakaye?” Vlad said.
“Hmm?” she replied, looking at him.
“Have you located the base?”
“Sadly no. My sources say they're always blindfolded before going
in, so they never know the exact location. They suspect though that
it's in a forest. Where exactly, still don't know. They're
blindfolded while in a city before being taken out their.”
Vlad nodded. “And you'll let us know if anything comes up?”
“Of course,” she replied. “Anything I learn about the
operations in Russia, you'll be the first to know. The higher ups
know that already.”
“Right. Anything new in Japan?”
“Other than the seemingly random murders happening in Konoha? No
not really. My partner says they've found evidence and clues as to
who is doing it, but they have yet to find and capture or eliminate
the culprits. He says they're getting close though.”
“Right,” Vlad said. “How many killings do you know of so far?”
“At
this time, I can't be sure. Over the past five months there's been
approximately a total of fifty two deaths, and that's not just
Konoha. That includes Takigakure
and Sunagakure. We believe Orochimaru is operating mainly out of
Otogakure, but we have yet to locate any reliable sources that can
inform us where any of the bases
are. There is also reason to believe that he has bases in several
other prefectures, including Kusagakure and a few others we haven't
been able to completely identify as we have had no luck in confirming
the information we received from unknown sources. We're still
looking.”
Vlad nodded.
“Fifteen years, I've been trying to take that bastard down,”
Sakaye growled.
“Since the death of your parents,” Vlad murmured.
“Yes,” Sakaye said. “I had every reason to believe it was his
fault they died, and that it's because of him the Uchiha's were
murdered. If I had lost Sasuke and Itachi, I would not have stopped
until that man lay dead at my feet. He will pay for his sins. I
assure you of that, my friend.”
Vlad sighed and nodded. “It was good seeing you, Sakaye,” he
said, “but I must be going. My partner is waiting for me.”
“Of course. Goodbye, Vlad.”
“Goodbye,” he said, turning and walking out of the room.
“Sakaye?” Nadia said.
“Hmm?”
“Will you tell him?”
“In time,” Sakaye said softly. “In time. Get me the phone will
you?”
-
Sasuke's eyes host open when he heard the phone ringing. Wearily, he
rose from the couch and went to get it, passing Naruto who'd sat in a
chair to watch TV again. He lifted it from the cradle and pushed the
talk button, putting it to his ear.
“Hello?” he said.
“Sasuke,”
Sakaye said. “Is
your brother home?”
“Yeah, but mom?”
“What is it honey?”
“When are you coming back?”
“In a few weeks, okay? I have a few things i need to finish up
after the funeral before I can go back.”
“Okay,” Sasuke said, yawning as he made his way to his brother's
room. He silently pushed the door open and slipped in, approaching
his sleeping brother.
He knelt down by the bed and reached a hand out, shaking his
brother's shoulder. “Itachi?” he said. “Itachi mom's on the
phone.”
“Huh?” Itachi mumbled, cracking his eyes open to look at his
little brother. “Oh. Okay.” He reached out for the phone and
Sasuke handed it to him.
“Itachi?”
“Sakaye?”
“Mmhmm. How are you?”
“I'm okay,” Itachi mumbled.
“Ah. That's good listen. I need you to do something for me.”
“What is it?”
“Well,” Sakaye paused, “I need you to find a house.”
“Eh? Why?”
“Ah well you see um. My grandmother wanted me to take the dogs
when she passed, and she was going to have me give Sasuke a puppy she
purchased from a friend about a month ago. Which means four very big
dogs that will need a lot of space. Plus Nadia is returning with me.”
“Why is she coming with you?”
“Because I asked her to, and this isn't the issue. Can you
do this for me?”
“I suppose. Does it matter where?”
“Not really. Just find something nice with enough room, and you
exactly how these three older bastards get when they sleep in the
same room, so you know what we need.”
“Of course,” Itachi grumbled. “I'll get started on it
tomorrow.”
“Thank you!” Sakaye exclaimed. “Oh and listen. I
might be coming home sooner than expected. Apparently all the other
crap I need to do is going a lot faster than I originally
anticipated, so I might be returning by next Saturday if I can manage
it.”
Itachi's mood suddenly brightened considerably. “Good to know,”
he remarked evenly.
“Of course it is. Now then, you sound exhausted so get some sleep
okay? I'll call again in a few days when I know more.”
“Okay,” Itachi mumbled almost incoherently.
Sakaye laughed. “Goodnight, Itachi.”
“Night, Saka,” he mumbled, barely managing to push the end button
on the phone before letting it drop to the floor. Sakaye would be
back soon
