To say Sasuke Uchiha was angry would be a gross understatement. He was enraged. Anger and humiliation burned his insides as he stared at his reflection in the mirror - again. Like if he stared long enough, the atrocity on his skin would disappear. It didn't . The multiple bruises that marked his neck seemed to pulse and expand until it was the only thing he could see.
His fist clenched and the in the next second the mirror shattered, bearing the brunt of his god damned no good dead last! What made him think that he could do something like this and get away with it? And to think that Sasuke had even let him off lightly this morning. Great, now his knuckles hurt too. Stupid dobe.
He stormed out of the bathroom, grabbing a towel and wrapping it around his waist. He had just wanted to have a nice long bath and what did he get to see when he stepped out of the shower? The fucking usuratonkachi's teeth marks all over his neck. His stomach churned as he thought of the red eyes that had stared at him last night. Why did get the feeling that it hadn't just been the Kyuubi last night? A little uneasy, he contemplated using a henge on his neck, but realised that too many shinobi could see through it. A faked injury was a better option. It was less suspicious. After all, shinobi got hurt all the time.
Still seething, he jerked open a drawer, emptying the contents of his medicine box onto his bed. He snatched a role of bandage and then walked back into the bathroom, only to remember the mirror was now only a mess of broken fragments. He cursed. How the fuck was he going to cover those hideous marks on his neck without a god damn mirror? He paused for a moment before bending and grabbing a piece of the broken mirror. This would have to do.
Sitting down on the bed, he wrapped the bandage carefully around his neck, knowing he looked a little ridiculous. But it couldn't be helped. He would rather die than go out in public with dobe's hickeys on display. For a small moment, he considered just staying indoors until they faded but he dismissed the thought. He was in no way going to be intimidated by that loud obnoxious Kyuubi vessel.
He tugged on the bandages, which were already starting itch, to cover a little bit of a hickey that was peeking out. God, hadn't he spared any part of his skin? It was like the annoying red marks were trying to compete with the faded tomoe seal next to them. The thought made him even more irritated.
He maneuvered the small mirror so he could examine the rest of his body, ignoring the other bruises forming because of the fight they had had. There weren't any other teeth marks thank kami -But there could have been, a small voice taunted inside his head. He scowled. The thought of what the dobe could actually have done last night made him tense. He didn't know whether he should be relieved that nothing worse happened or angry that the dobe had actually been in a position to have mercy on him.
Something about that conclusion was definitely wrong. Sasuke frowned.
Whether it was who sought the other one out, what time to meet, or even where to eat – it was always him who had the final word, even if they did end up at the ramen stall more often that he liked. He was the one always in control when it came to the both of them… but last night had been all upside down.
Different.
He had been - he stilled – helpless. The word made him wince. He had always hated it and the baggage of painful memories it brought. A flash of tomoed red eyes and a mocking smile teased him – NO - he told himself, he refused to bring his brother into this. Not now. Not ever.
However, Sasuke was still bitterly aware of the fact that even though Itachi was dead, he would never really be gone. He found himself remembering last night's tanned grip on his arms and the casual flick of tongue and he unconsciously relaxed. He was over reacting, he knew that. But he was still upset.
And he was angry that he was upset at all.
The conflicting emotions twirled themselves together until Sasuke didn't know which was which and he was left feeling uncomfortable and disgruntled. All he knew that this was all somehow the dobe's fault.
The tiny mirror caught an angry looking bruise on his chest and glad of the distraction, he wondered whether he should go to Sakura for a check up.
For now though, he wanted to see the Hokage. If there was one person who knew what was going on with the dobe, it was her. He gingerly explored the skin on his neck and realised that the huge mark on the nape was going to be impossible to cover by bandage and his limited experience. A henge was going to have to do. He would just ignore the unwanted questions and stay away from the Hyuuga's and Kakashi.
He remembered dismally that even Sakura could see through genjutsu and felt his anger returning in full force. This was not going to be a good day.
Sasuke was mildly surprised when he was let into the Hokage's office almost immediately. He had been prepared to wait. He knew that the old woman sometimes thought it was amusing to let him wait, sometimes for more than an hour, for his mission details. He didn't think that was necessary though, he already was aware she didn't like him. He also knew that the only reason his detention time had been reduced was because of the dobe and his irritating attachment to the current Hokage. That fact had never bothered him – until now.
He scowled to himself, earning a nervous glance from the Hokage's assistant. He followed the girl into the corridor and she stopped, nodding towards the door. He didn't bother thanking her as strode in determined to get a clue as to why the dobe had gone crazy on him last night.
It was only due to his years of trained Uchiha poise that Sasuke froze only for a second when he saw who else was there. The back of blond head was difficult not to recognize. His bandages itched. The damn Dobe was everywhere!
"Uchiha!" the Hokage acknowledged, "I'm glad you came. I was just about to summon you. Sit down."
Sasuke sat down, studiously ignoring the man sitting just a few feet away from him. He could feel the dobe's eyes on him and his fist clenched.
Oh, how he wanted to beat that face in.
He looked inquiringly at the Hokage, making sure he looked as calm as he always did. It was an effort, really. Especially when the Hokage eyes instantly twitched his neck. She didn't even try to hide her smile. Bitch. Naruto had told her. Son of bitch.
It was strange, it had been a long time since he had name called Naruto anything other than different variations of moron and dead last. Even in his head.
Sasuke waited for the Hokage to speak first, even though he had been the one to ask for the meeting. He couldn't help it. The Hokage ignored his rudeness in favour of flinging a file in his face. He caught it on reflex, blinking. What the –
"Read it. its your next mission," she stated.
He glanced down at the purple file, knowing it was the colour of Anbu mission details. His heart beat faster. Could it be after so long of b ranked torture, they were finally going to let him do some real work? He frowned. Why the sudden change of heart? He looked up to see the Hokage staring at him, with an expectant look in her eyes.
"You're letting me go on an Anbu ranked mission." He was careful to sound neutral. Beside him, he could tell Naruto was as shocked as he was.
"Ba-chan, what are-"
"Shut up,brat." She raised her palm at the blond, her eyes not leaving Sasuke's.
"Well? Do you accept?"
"Who's on my team?" he asked, trying to read the Hokage's poker face. Why did she have to be sober at a time like this?
"That was not my question," she said coolly.
There was an expectant pause but Sauske didn't bothering filling it. Instead, he flipped open the file, going through the details with a practiced eye. His heart beat even faster. She was sending him on a mission to hunt rogue Akatsuki. The word repeated itself in his head like a broken gramophone.
There had to be a catch.
But did that even matter? For the first time in three fucking years he was getting a chance to go outside a three mile radius of the village. He would finally be able to try and use his new jutsus' on something other than trees and the dead last. The temptation was just too much to resist.
"How long is the mission expected to be?" He asked.
The Hokage knew the Uchiha well enough to know that his question was acceptance.
"A month. Though don't expect any change in rank." She grinned at him, shooting the dobe next to him a triumphant look. Well, if that was the only catch, then Sasuke could live with it. But why did he doubt it was?
"And my team mates?" he tried again with narrowed eyes, feeling more than a little suspicious. A silent communication passed between the dobe and the old woman and suspicion soon turned to apprehension. She turned to him, looking almost comically serious.
"Well, a quarter of your team is sitting right next to you."
