Chapter 6: Letting a prisoner go

Lee was cautiously glancing behind his back from time to
time waiting for someone to give him a surprise attack. A chill ran down his
spine as he caught a glimpse of a moving shadow at his side. He composed
himself and readied his fists; he slightly berated himself from getting anxious
from a simple illusion such as the shadow he just saw.

He tried calmly to approach the shadow but when he rounded
around the corner, he saw no one. A sudden fear shot up from his whole body.
Was it just a trick of the eye? An illusion? Or maybe he was hallucinating that he saw someone passed by.

A soft thump broke him from his musing; he turned around
again but saw no one, not a living creature in sight. This was really getting
on his nerve.

He stalked to a nearby room whose door is slightly ajar. He
peeked inside and saw no one. He glanced at all corners of the room.

Strange.

Something felt strange about the room that he couldn�t put a finger on. Out of curiosity, he walked inside
totally forgetting what he was doing a minute ago. His fascination totally
fixed on a large photo of previous occupant of the room.

Uchiha Sasuke.

He strolled towards the large oak drawers and grazed through
the wood. It was clean. Far too clean for an abandoned
mansion. Did Sasuke sleep there? He remembered the raven saying he slept
with Naruto in one of the gazillion guest rooms in the house but why would he lie?

A picture frame caught his attention he gently took it and
studied the people inside. He frowned as he focused
his attention at a grinning Naruto and Kiba surrounded by impassive looking
kids.

Neji, Sasuke, Gaara, Shino, Shikamaru and sometimes Sai have
the best poker faces in town and ironically, they�re
all friends.

He couldn�t help but to scoffed a
bit. He always wondered how the hell did they ever
become friends when half of the group members were social challenge. Must be a work of nature or some sort.

�He put the frame down
and again started wandering around the room. He stopped when he caught
something in the corner of his eye. He stalked towards a dark area of the room
and squatted to look at the things scattered haphazardly. He frowned at what he
saw. Picture after picture were scattered in a nearby-concealed corner that he
almost missed. He picked one up and studied the picture.

Naruto?

Then he picked one again.

Naruto again? Although this time,
it was a much younger version of the highly acclaimed novelist maybe taken when
they were just in high school.

He took the rest and was not
surprised to see that all pictures contained Naruto.

Although one picture fascinated him, the most from the rest
that is a picture of Naruto when he was just a kid�maybe the blond
was about four to six years old.

He remembered that he met Naruto when they were in middle
school�the blond was so fragile at that time and his only friends were Neji and
Sasuke.

He chuckled a bit as he remembered how protective the two of
them were when he suddenly approached the crying blond
one rainy day. However, the reason why the blond was
crying was still beyond him now.

After befriending the blond, much
to Neji and Sasuke�s annoyance they met Shikamaru with Chouji in tow. Then
people started falling like puzzle. Then in their high school days, they met
Sai then the gang was finally been completed.

They shared a deep bond.

A bond that�s
now slowly slipping away.

A crack.

He frowned a bit and tossed the pictures back at the floor.
He slowly stood up but a chill run down his spine as a cold metal suddenly
grazed his cheek. A trickle of blood slowly ran down from the small cut the
pointed object scraped.

�What are you doing here?�

Lee frowned deepened. �Sai-kun could you please put down the
knife?� A low chuckle was all the answer he got from the raven.

�Why did you come here?�

�To look for
you and Shikamaru.�

Sai frowned and retracted the weapon. Lee immediately stood
up when he felt no more threat. He turned to face the frowning raven. He too
frowned as he saw specks of blood from Sai�s clothes and fingernails, though he
said nothing. Acting now would be a fatal decision on his part.

�Then where is Nara?�

Lee who was taken aback by the
suddenness of the question, he fisted his hand. He too was at lost were the
lazy genius went. Did the killer get him?

Did Sai get him?

Or was
it Shikamaru the killer, that�s why he lied about looking for Sai.

His eyes narrowed but could offer no answer to Sai so he
remained silent at the raven�s intense scrutiny.

�Troublesome.� Both Lee and Sai hurriedly turned their heads
towards the newcomer, as the lazy genius rested his back on the closed door.
Lee wondered when he came in and why he and Sai never heard him enter.

Shikamaru looked at Sai then gazed at Lee. He shook his head
and scratched the back of his neck in irritation. �What are you doing here
Lee?�

�I went to look for you two. Why
is there a problem?�

Sai gave Shikamaru a sly grin.
�Yes, Shikamaru is there a problem?�

�No. I was just wondering why you are here. Why are you
defensive?� Shikamaru gave a pointed glare Sai as though the question directed
not to Lee but to the raven.

�I�m sorry Shikamaru-kun, its must be the stress of all of
this.� Lee rubbed the back of his head as he mumbled his apology to the lazy
genius. While oblivious to the death glares the two
were giving to each other.

�Come on you two. Neji and
Naruto are waiting for us.� Shikamaru snapped.

Sai gave a sly smirked but made himself
comfortable on a nearby chair. �I told you I don�t want to be surrounded by the
likes of you.�

�Sai-kun��

��And I hate people touching what is mine.� Sai gave a
venomous glance at Lee. Shikamaru raised his brow at the vague statement but
did not question what it was. Lee on the other hand gave a deep frowned.

�Fine.
Do whatever you want. We don�t really care what happens to you from now on.�

�I�m sure you do.�

A grin broke out from Shikamaru�s lips. They regarded each
other for a moment, when Shikamaru was satisfied he turned his back and
proceeded to grab on to the knob when Lee spoke. �Sai-kun why
are you here in Sasuke�s room?�

�Why? He doesn�t use it. He said we
could use any room in the house. Besides, I like it here. We do like the same
things�the same person.�

�And the
pictures?�

�My collection. My private
collection that I don�t anyone else touching.� Sai growled lowly that Lee swear
it was the first time he heard the raven snapped like that.

Sai was always the happy go lucky in the gang although he
always did feel something mysterious around the raven for some reason, more
sinister than what he felt for Neji, Sasuke and Shino.

Lee nodded and mumbled something as an apology. �I think we
should leave now Shikamaru-kun.�

�Troublesome.�

With that, they left Sai alone inside the room with a leer
on his face as he watched the two shut the door close.

Lee grabbed onto Shikamaru�s arm to stop him.
�Shikamaru-kun, I want to go down and seek some help.�

�Huh? You do know that it is dangerous to trek down that
trail alone especially with the killer on the loose.�

�No, it�s more dangerous to leave that alone without doing
anything. The killer is becoming more sinister by a minute. He�s
desperate. I really think we should seek help. I should go.�

Shikamaru sighed. �Then I�m
coming with you.�

�No, they need someone like you here. I should go alone, as
you�ve said the trail is dangerous with this kind of weather, on the other hand
I have an experienced in such occasion.�

�Are you sure?�

�Yes, having a companion would
only slow me down. I have a gun, I can protect myself.�

�Fine.
Let�s tell your plan to everyone.�

�Okay.�

RULER RULER RULER

Neji paced thru and fro the room waiting for their friends
to arrive hopefully without a bad news at hand. Even though the sky has cleared
a bit, they still couldn�t go out and seek help.
Walking down the steep and slippery trail could be fatal. It was suicide on its
own.

They have to wait for another hour or so. Hopefully,
by late noon they could trek down
towards the next house.

He glanced at the door as he heard the tell tale sound of
someone trying to open the door quietly. He waited for the person to emerge
from the door and was a bit surprised to see Shino�s head popping in.

�Where is the Uchiha?�

�I believe he wasn�t convinced that we really wanted him to
stay close and I quote �then why the hell
did they send you instead?� � Shino gave a mock hurt face as he pocketed
his hand in his pocket and tried to grab something inside it. A smile appeared
on his face when he fingered the thing he was looking for.

Neji frowned but said nothing as Shino took his pet roach
from his pocket and played with it with his finger. He waited for Shino to
continue what he was saying but all was in vain, as the bug man fully indulges
himself playing with his disgusting pet.

�I hope he�s not dead
somewhere.�

�Don�t worry he is not.�

Neji nodded and proceeded to sit on a chair near the
sleeping Naruto when Shino spoke again. �Although�I think he really felt hurt
that you all of people didn�t go to get him. He was expecting you.�

Pale eyes narrowed with contempt as Shino smiled at him with
glee evident on his eyes. �He might kill somebody if we left him all alone. You
don�t want that do you?�

�Then what do you suggest?�

�Look for him.�

�You already did, right? Why would it make a difference if
we did it again?� Neji eyed the bug man warily as he rest both his elbows on
his legs as he laced his fingers together like he was praying and rested his
chin there.

�Because if you ask him nicely he might concede, you�re his
second best friend after all. Weren�t you?�

�The Uchiha and I aren�t that
close.�

�Oh? But I thought the two of you have been friends together
with Naruto since the age of two?� Shino gave a mock shock face that almost
made Neji loose his composure. He smiled in return though at Shino�s sly
taunting.

�Naruto and I are friends, but I
don�t have the same feelings for the Uchiha.�

�Oh my.
I hope you do think of me as a friend.�

Neji gave Shino a worried look. He, for the hell of him, doesn�t get Shino�s psychotic sense of humor. He wonders how
Kiba could be close to a guy like him.

�What are you doing?�

�Making a
point.�

�About what?�

�That�s for me to know and for a certain lovable person to
found out. Hopefully he�s not too late.� Neji glared even more. Shino was
planning something. He could feel it in his bones. What it is? That is what he
wants to find out.

Shino smiled sweetly at the glaring Neji. �He�s actually on
the other room beside this one. Moping, hoping that someone by the name of Neji
took him out of the darkness.�

Neji glared daggers at Shino.
�You want me to go there?�

�Yes.�

�And leave you with Naruto
alone?�

�Well�that�s inevitable I think.
You cannot be at two places at the same time, could you?�

Neji stood up and smirked, he walked towards the sleeping blond and shook him gently. �Naruto wake up.�

Naruto yawned and rubbed his blurry eyes. He blinked twice
as he tried to focus on the face hovering over his. �Neji?�

�Hmm��

�Why? What�s wrong?�

�I have to go somewhere.�

�Huh? Why?�

�To save something important to you.�
Neji gave a sad smile to the blond for a second then
replaced it with impassive expression the next. �Umm�are you sure you�re okay?
I can go with you.�

�Nope. I�m
all right. He would definitely go sulking again if we went together. You know
how he hates seeing us together. I�ll be in the next
room. Holler if you�re in trouble.� Naruto even though still in puzzlement
nodded his consent.

�Shino is here so don�t worry.�

�Okay.�

�Don�t worry, I think Naruto can
take care of himself. He�s a big man now.� Shino not even glancing at the two
smirked with so much amusement.

�Yeah, I can take care of
myself.�

�Okay. I�ll leave the door open so
I�ll hear anything out of the ordinary. Don�t close it.� Neji pointedly stares
at the smirking Shino and went out the door. A few seconds tick before anyone
had spoken.

�Hmm�interesting.
He was very easy to trick.�

�What?!� Naruto stood up in shock
and run towards the door but Shino was faster than he was. In an instant the creepy guy grabbed onto his waist in a vice grip
and silenced him with another.

�Naruto,
Naruto, Naruto. Such a gullible person. I heard you talking to Shikamaru
about your stupid theory. Do you think you�re right?
Is it really is the seven sins? Then we three are the suspects?� A low chuckle
escaped Shino�s lips and Naruto couldn�t help but
shivered as Shino�s warmth breath tickle his ear.

The blond tried wiggling to escape
but he couldn�t budge from Shino�s tight grip. He nudged his elbow at the bug
man earning him a low moan.

It was all he needed to attack Shino with all his might. He
stomped his foot on Shino�s foot hard. He�s not a
wuss! Damn if he let anyone manhandled him again for the second time.

What happen to him and Gaara was
a fluke.

He won�t
let anyone harassed him again.

Shino with a restrain cry loosened his hold on the blond, sensing
this Naruto elbowed him once again on the gut.

�What the hell are you doing?�

Shino smirked at the newcomer and let Naruto go. Lee frowned
a bit, while Shikamaru gave a pointy glare at Shino.

A chuckle was
heard at the door that broke the tense atmosphere. �Are we having a
wrestling?�

Shino in response smiled happily at the trio, while Lee was
shocked to find Sai following them. Shikamaru on the other hand looked bored.

�What happened?� Neji rushed towards the blond
pushing all the people in his way Sasuke in tow.

�Nothing.�
Shino smirked while Naruto glared at him with contempt.

Sasuke smirked as he approached
the fuming blond. �I told you not to trust too much
didn�t I?�

Naruto in shock of hearing his best friend voice once again
turned his head toward the voice. A smile etched on his lips involuntarily as
Sasuke�s hand sneaked towards his head ruffling his blond hair.

Unbeknownst to them inside the room a pair of eyes was
blazing with fury. A fury so pure a promise of death was evident.�

:TSUZUKI:

Killer: Tic Tac Tic Tac. I�m getting impatient�my hands are itching to
kill�send now your guess that you may save your favorite character because
after this I�ll kill the judge then �evil cackle- the killing will never
rest. I assure you that as much.

Late-Sleeper:
Nope, no outsiders or whatsoever. Just them.
The killer is one of them seriously. And about bugs
and all�nah no magical powers here.

And I let a prisoner go�because
there is actually one who guessed it correct�maybe on this site or the original
site where I posted it. So there I let Lee go and nope he�s not the killer.
