Reunion of Shadows
Not
many things could make him tense, but what he was doing now did. Sneaking on a
restricted area was never a good idea, even if it was in your own damn village.
Maybe it was worse if it was on your own village, because you could be deluded
of your beliefs. Who knew what was lurking under the shadows of what was showed
to the world� especially in Konoha.��
Checking
his surroundings, he was surprised not to see any Anbu
or ninja. There was nothing but nature here. Any other day he would have found
this place peaceful, the wind agreeable as it blew gently, bringing some fresh
air to cool down the heat.
Untamed
flora lived between the tall trees, forgotten by the busy humans nearby; this
place was as unassuming as it was and beautiful. Nestled quietly in the bushes,
waited the place called the Tower. In reality, it was nothing of the sort, just
a crumbling old shack in the woods that was draped in ivy.
Entering
the place was no problem, as the door was barely attached and one would see
nothing out of the ordinary, just a handful of weather beaten garden tools.
Those entering had to already know there was a trapdoor hidden beneath the
worm-eaten floorboards or they would never find it because of the protective jutsu.
Luckily,
he knew where to look, because he�d been here once before, while he was still
in the Anbu� Getting the trapdoor open wasn�t any
easier than he remembered, but after almost dropping his beloved pervy book, Kakashi found himself in the huge underground
labyrinth of secret tunnels.
He
swiftly went down the stairs, masking his chakra signature. He wasn't supposed
to be there, being found out would mean a lot of troubles for him� and for the
one he was wishing to see. All he could hear was his heart beating steadily;
his feet didn't make any sound on the stairs, his breathing imperceptible, only
the loud pounding in his ears, a thud only he could hear, it didn't resonate
through his chest.
It
was one of the more secluded and hidden parts of Konoha. Only the Hokage and
the council were allowed. Even the Anbu needed a pass
to reach this place. It was extraordinarily clean; the scrolls hanging from the
walls were new, the black ink swirling everywhere almost fresh. It only further
proved it was very important, even if no one was there to guard. It was
strange� to trust scrolls and none human thing to keep this place safe, to
prevent the ones locked inside to escape. It meant some secrets were not to be
revealed; it meant no-one should talk with the prisoners. That alone was scary�
it meant Konoha had something to hide.
He
used the shadows to conceal himself and avoid setting the traps, even if he did
trigger a few: this place wasn't easily navigated. After wandering this maze
for a good hour, he finally reached the right door. A metal one, a window was
equipped on it, with mirrored glass.
He
could see through it but the man on the other side couldn't see him. He wasn't
excepting the sight that greeted him. His long lost student� Sasuke Uchiha,
with his wrists pinned to the wall by heavy locks, apart so he couldn�t make
hand seals, elbow bent. Around each hand were seals, written on the walls and
on his chains. He was kneeling on the ground, his feet locked there with other
chains and seals. The room was full of traps and scrolls to restrain him. But
this was nothing compared to the blindfold on his eyes, where the strongest
seal Kakashi had ever seen was drawn, creeping along the wall behind him like
an aura.
It
was the first time Kakashi had seen his new outfit; the open Yukata in the front, displaying creamy skin, the pants� but
no purple bow. Too bad, from Naruto�s description, he had wondered if pulling
on it meant undressing the Uchiha, he had been wrong.
Damn.
Even in this predicament, Sasuke seemed at ease, a smirk gracing his delicate
features.
He
had risked it all to come here, he had wanted to talk� but now he stood rooted
in place, unable to push the door open. He couldn�t do anything to help, he had
no power. It was selfishness that made him come to see his student� he wanted
to ask questions, to have answers. Sasuke was one of his failures but one that
was still alive, unlike the others.
"Come
in Kakashi," invited Sasuke, as a host would in his house, his silky voice
just loud enough to be heard.
----------------
Kakashi had used all his
chakra to distort the dimension and save Chouji� he hoped the kid could warn
Tsunade about Pain's capacities. They had lost another great ninja� Chouji's father. He was so damn tired and the remaining Pain
was still here and was going to put an end to his life.
He was going to meet
them all again� Obito� Rin�
Sensei� Jiraiya� ah� maybe he would have an exclusive
Icha Icha paradise� good
thing.
He wasn't one to close
his eyes when facing death, he wanted to see it come and smile. Yet it wasn't
death that met his gaze but an Uchiha emblem on white cloth. Obito? (1) Loud chirping could be heard, and electricity
blurred his vision. Then a woman was in front of him, opening her vest. Was
this paradise? Maybe not� she had been bitten all over. Strange. Obviously she
wanted him to add a mark too, it would be impolite to say no to a woman,
wouldn't it?
Now that he was healed
he could perfectly see who was protecting him, who had jumped in the fight just
in time to save him. Sasuke. He hated seeing people's back because it always
meant bad things: they were leaving� or dying to protect you. However he had a
feeling this back wasn't going to disappear anytime soon. He had came back? But
was he friend or foe? Seeing how he and what seemed to be his team were cutting
Pain's body into small pieces, he had to be on their side� but then with Sasuke
you were never sure.
He had woken up in the
hospital, his second home, really. Many were lying beside him, and judging by
the number of white clothes covering bodies, many died. Yet, it seemed Pain had
been erased. Otherwise most of the ninjas would still be fighting, despite
their injuries.
"How dare you! I
might be your prisoner but I'm not some medicine you can use as you please! You
dirty pink pig!"
Kakashi turned his head
to see Sakura dragging a certain Karin around, letting badly injured people
bite her just enough not to die.
"Sasuke will make
you pay for that," the woman whined.
Obviously it asked a lot
of self control from Sakura's part not to beat Karin into a pulp. He couldn't
blame her. His eyes roamed around the room, searching for black hair and
porcelain skin� A young man Sasuke had referred to as Suigetsu, lay chained to
his bed, was making a medic-nin go nuts.
"Stop turning into
water! You need this injection!"
"What's inside? I
won't let you inject me if I don't know what's in it! You Orochimaru!"
A medic-nin flying and being grabbed just in time by an injured shinobi made him look further to see the one named Juugo
loosing his nerves. The sick and doctor teaming up on him to inject him so much
sedative it would have killed a herd of horses. It seemed Sasuke had chosen a
weird group.
"And he said I was
annoying," muttered a cheerful voice. Naruto's.
The blond was covered in
bandages but a huge grin adorned his features. No doubt it was Sasuke's
returned that made it possible for him to smile� his eyes looked dead tired�
too many had died, but as usual he clung to hope rather than despair.
"Glad you're well Kakashi-sensei,"
added Naruto, "it was a tough battle� thank God Sasuke came."
Kakashi sighed. Naruto
looked troubled; no doubt it had to do with the Uchiha. No need to push, he
would know soon enough where the brat was. He had a feeling the council had imprisoned
him somewhere, as it should be. Even if he had helped, he was still a missing nin and had to be treated as such until they were sure he
was with them again. As soon as his team were healed they would be locked up
too.
"Tsunade is angry
because the old geezers put him in the� the� er�
tower or something, she said they were overreacting, and they didn't even heal
him properly� what's the tower thing Kakashi-sensei?"
They had put him where?
How strange� why cut him from everyone? It sounded fishy. Especially since they
went against Tsunade for such a minor thing� what were they hiding? No need to
worry Naruto more than he was already.
"Our best prison,
they want to be sure he's not escaping again."
It made Naruto laugh
awkwardly, scratching his head.
"You seem to have
been of help too, Naruto, I�m glad the message frog reached you in time,"
he praised, trying to make his student forget about his friend for the moment.
"Huh? What
frog?" asked Naruto, puzzled.
If the frog hadn't
reached him� it had been stopped- but who would do it? And why? Danzou? Tsunade
was always wary of him. He had a feeling the council had something to hide. As
soon as he could he snuck out of the hospital, using the pretence that he would
recover better at home and that other people needed the bed. No one argued.
----------------
He pushed the door and
entered the room, coming to crouch in front of Sasuke. They hadn't cured his
injuries but the blood had long since dried. He didn't know what to do; it was
rare for him to be at a loss like that. It had been so long since he had seen
the young man� he hadn't been part of the retrieving team.
"Having some doubts
about Konoha, sensei?" asked a
silky voice, the last word dripping sarcasm.
Kakashi felt a shiver but
concealed it. You could see Sasuke had been Orochimaru's student; he seemed so
in control even in this situation, as if he was always one step ahead of you.
His aura had changed too, but not as much as expected. It was darker, stronger�
with more suffering too� yet, Sasuke was still nice, as he had always been in
his own way.
"What do you know
Sasuke?" questioned the jounin.
"You never came for
me, Konoha was never a home for my kind, you're all the same, using people but
pretending otherwise"
Kakashi frowned. What should
he answer first; the personal accusation or the line thrown about Konoha? He
pondered a moment, wondering what would satisfy the Uchiha. The information he
would gain depended on how he approached the teen. The jab about him not having
being here hurt, it was right on the mark: he still felt guilty. Not one to
delve into such matters lightly, he chose the reason that had first brought him
here.
"Ninjas are tools
Sasuke, Konoha is no different from other village," he carefully answered.
The dark haired teen tilted
his head to the side, a small smirk playing on his lips. Once again he seemed
so much older than he truly was. He always had. He must have been innocent
once� but, at seven he had been stripped of almost everything that kept him a
child. Kakashi had never known him as child, because of his clan, of his father
ignoring him and having a genius as a brother. He didn't play but trained, he
was calm and collected whatever the situation, so unlike other children.
"So you choose Konoha?
Not at ease with personal subject, sensei?
As you wish. You are a liar, our village prides itself on being different, we
are known for valuing life, we are the nice fluffy village, aren't we?" ��
The sarcasm wasn't lost on gray-haired
man.
"We all have flaws,
Sasuke�"
His lips thinned and
Kakashi grinned behind his mask, even if his student couldn't see it, he knew
he felt it. The brat was way too early to be able to win, well not without a
good fight first. �
"Tell me, what are
Konoha's? What did they do to make you so resentful?" pushed Kakashi,
using this opportunity to turn the tables.
He flinched as he saw the
hatred radiate from his former student. His fists were clenched so tight his
nails had to be biting into his skin. His jaw was set firmly and he was sure
his eyes were blazing, the Sharingan twirling. To draw such a reaction out of
the ice teen� only Itachi could�
"You taught us to look
underneath the underneath but you don't do it either, do you? Did you really
not see it? I have a hard time believing that, sensei." �
Kakashi hung is head low;
Sasuke had respected him. He still did, it seemed, yet he hadn't been able to
prevent him from leaving for Orochimaru. What hadn't he seen that he should
have? Was Sasuke reproaching him not to have noticed Itachi going mad? No� it
couldn't be that, Sasuke blamed only himself for that.
"Enlighten me?"
"My clan was said to
be far too prideful, to think themselves above anyone else. It is partly true,
I have to admit it. But haven�t you ever wondered how it turned out like that? Many
were jealous of the Uchiha's power; whatever you do
they feel beneath you and hate you for it. If you are nice they think it's
pity."
He was so right it hurt. It
was the same for Sasuke; people didn't understand him and felt jealous of him,
not seeing his suffering, not trying to know him before judging him. They,
themselves, put the distance between Sasuke and them. People had excluded
Sasuke, thinking he was so much better than them, whispering about him. They
looked at him from a distance. How many times had he heard people say the
Uchiha thought highly of himself? They were mistaken� and it was one of the
reasons he had left Konoha.
Sasuke had never believed
in himself. He felt unworthy, weak, pathetic. No wonder since he aimed for
Itachi� and the latter had clearly told him he wasn't even worth killing. Even
if you explained that, people would still say he had been reading too much Icha Icha paradise� but he had seen
proof. First with Haku, he had trained so hard to be able to improve, then the
fight against Lee, Sasuke had lost, badly� yet, he hadn't reacted as if his
dignity had been crumpled. He had been angry at been so weak, even as Naruto
rubbed it in his face, he hadn't pulled out a shitty explanation, yelled, pouted
or whatever. He had simply taken it upon himself and looked forward to the
Chuunin exam, forward to getting stronger. But then� when he had seen how
Naruto improved so fast, while he sort of stagnated, he had lost it. Like he
had said to Sasuke after his fight with Naruto on the hospital roof, the teen
suffered from an inferiority complex (2). He needed to be strong and that desperation
had sent him straight to Orochimaru.
"Whatever you do, it�s
never enough- people won't be pleased. My quest for revenge is frowned upon, even
though it's necessary for the village, and then if I hadn't, people would�ve whispered
that I didn't care about my family, that I was a wimp."
"Where are you going
with this, Sasuke? Don't put all the blame on Konoha, your clan became
secretive and whispered between themselves too."
A feral smirked graced the
teen's lips and Kakashi took a step back. He had grown stronger� so much
stronger! Even restrained you had the feeling he could break your neck in the
blink of an eye.
"Then tell me Kakashi,
did Obito Uchiha really give you his eye or where you
ordered to kill him and you took a
prize?"�
--------To be continued--------
(1)
In Japan
white is the colour you wear for burial (even if in the manga,
they are dressed in black, usually white is the colour of the dead)
(2)
In the manga he says "superiority complex",
I understood it like this: Sasuke want to be
superior, but don't feel he is, that's why he tries to beat Naruto.
Lady Valtaya and I thought it would sound like Kakashi was contradicting himself if I put it like that, so
we choose to explain.
It
would be really nice to review! It's my first KakaSasu
and well reviews are what keeps me going!
