Enjoy!!
Sasuke awaited Hinata to come out of the shower from trying to get the melted materials out of her hair. She had grown it out to almost her waist and man
was it thick. She made sure her bangs just covered her eyes so if she saw anyone of interest they may not be able to see her eyes clearly. However,
since Sasuke had to torch the building he unknowingly almost set her ablaze with it. She had shrapnel other metals that melted into her beautiful hair
and she tried desperately to get it out. She had a sky blue tank top and black knee length leotards or tights which ever you want to call them. Sasuke
took notice of what was in front of him thinking,
" Damn, how could I have missed this wondrous figure since I came home? What the hell was Naruto
thinking when they broke up? I always knew he was a moron but damn to be so right and let something so gorgeous go? And he's in line to be Hokage?"
Hinata plopped on the floor and began to weep.
"I can't get all of it out.There are some pieces that are here in the top of my hair and some on my ends.
I'll have to cut them out and then I will look horrible."
Sasuke spoke without thinking.
"You look horrible...that's highly impossible, you'd look sexy
bald and ..."
Hinata looked up at him with a befuzzled expression and he quickly shut up. After she looked down at a pair of scissors he collected his
thoughts after mentally body slamming himself, and sat behind her indian style.
"Here let me cut the tough pieces out and then we can assess what to
do afterward. You have had short hair before no big deal okay. You know your hair will grow back."
She nodded and he began. When he finished her hair was much like it was when she was a child except much shorter. If it was not for her feminine face she
would have looked like a boy. ( Her hair cut is like Demi Moores from the story ghost.) She gasped and began to cry. Sasuke did an excellent job of
fixing her hair, who knew he was a genius and a barber, but she was not confident she had the looks to pull off such a cut.
"Well, I guess this willhave to do, I can't put any of this hair back. I guess I can at least have an excuse as to why men won't approach me."
Sasuke a little peeved,
"Men don't approach you since your family is full of asses and you are the leader of your clan that is more adorable then any woman
known in the village. I even want you...ERR..I..mean.. you know if I wanted to rebuild the clan...umm.. that is I would like to get closer to
you...uummh... III meeaann...well not like that."
Sasuke could not hide the evident blush across the bridge of his nose from the shocked expression of an
already blushing Hinata. He mentally was kicking himself in the . He could not figure out why he could not stop saying what he felt no matter how much he
tried. ' shut your trap and just give her a 'Hn' and be done with it.!'
A knock on the door broke the little session between them and Sasuke took no time and running to the door. He knew when they were together again he might
have to explain what he said, even though he knew it would be a snowball chance in hell that he would bring it up again. Since he had returned to the
village Hinata, though still shy seemed a little more bold, and he felt that she would like for him to answer for some of the things said.
"Just how did everything come to this…"thought Sasuke as he reached for the door.
FLASH TO THE BEGINNING…
Blood dripped on to the floor as the unknowing assassin's body went limp. The grip of his hand loosened as he lost consciousness. This was not the night to creep intothe bosses estate and make an attempt on his life. "Very well done." Omatake said as he peered at the blood stained ninja.
"Boss!!" "Boss!!" "Are you alrig…what the hell happened in here?" The sound of metal slicing through the air echoed in the henchman's ears as he realized he had been cut across his abdomen and chest not once but several times.
"AAAHHH!!" The other large bodyguard screeched in pain as he noticed his sliced legs falling in front of him while his upper body was falling to the ground.
"AHHAHAHHHH!"
"Worthless bastards…." The dark figure stood over the third henchman who decided to cut his own throat rather than die in this sort of agony.
"Pathetic. You call yourselves servants. You are nothing but weak punks and I spit on the fact I had to bloody my damn blade."
"Now, now my boy, don't get so upset over spilled blood. We can buy you as many Katannas as you wish. You have proven to me that you are worth my hiring. You will go to the Inn named Bountiful Joy and take up residence there until you have worked your way into the main house. Though your skill is unmatched as I have seen, I have not been in business for this long without having precautions. You do understand it is simply business…right?"
"Hai."
"Very well then. I will send for you in four days so you can have your first assignment. Meanwhile, please feel free to wonder about the town. I grant you my blessings to venture where you like. My men will be told that you are one of my bodyguards in training. HA HA HA as if you need anymore training. I look forward to having you as part of my team. Your name from now on will be Crow. Do not forget it.
"Yes, sir I won't."
"Oh and one last thing…just what is your name?"
"I have no name. Nor do I have a past. I sought you out since word has it you are the number one boss to work for in this rich city, and nomads like myself need to have a strong leader."
"So I am that popular? Hm."
"So it seems."
At that moment the boss and Crow were engulfed in red smoke. Neither seemed to know what was going on however, Crow was able to get in between the boss and the stranger that appeared.
"You have excellent eyes to detect me so quickly. Most are already dead when my Time Jutsu is completed."
"You were careless."
The tall lanky ninja crossed his arms as if he were getting ready to sign something when the boss said..
"That is enough Tichio. Crow was only watching out for me. Surely you won't kill a new guest before he begins work for me. You are so troublesome. Crow this is Maturasa Tichio, my right hand and second in command. You will address him as boss when I am not present and obey his every wish."
"Hai."
"Well, I hate to break up this wonderful meeting but you have associates coming and they will surely want to try some of the merchandise."
Tichio was often reminding the boss of his schedule and meetings and other such things. He seemed to be like a brother to the boss. Highly respected and definitely feared. He was known as the Red Smoke Killer. Often when individuals saw the red mist it was a result of their own blood being sent into the air as vapor from Tichio's attacks. He was considered a master in space dimension travel which is one of the forbidden jutsus. He often meditated and trained secretly, unless he had business with the boss. He would definitely be watching the newcomer Crow since he was the only man to guard against one of his famous attacks.
"Yes, you are right Tichio. Remember where I told you to go Crow and wait for further instructions. By the way, it is alright to stop making such a scary face. The females you will be meeting will run from that gorgeous baby face of yours if you look like you would like to stir fry their liver. HHAHAHHAHA!."
"Hai."
"Omatake…" Tichio was the only one who could call the boss formally and would do so when he became irritated with him.
"Alright I am going."
Crow stood and watched the boss and Tichio disappear in front of him and caught a glimpse of that look Tichio gave him. One that easily could be read as 'I 'm watching you.' Crow disposed of the bodies with one blast of chakra that was enveloped with flames. The bodies were charcoaled in no time. He cleaned the ashes as much as he could and set off to the Inn.
End Chapter One.
Hope you enjoyed. Please review so I can see which way the story will lead. This is a SasuHina fic by the way. Thanks again for the reviews!! Oh, Vindel what do you think?
Chapter two
Disclaimer: Same as before I did not own Naruto etc.
Sausuke opened the door to his new residence slow and cautiously. He was not sure if there would be traps or not. Behind sunshades he scanned his surroundings with his Sharingan. The coast was clear. When he entered he immediately began to torch everything in his room. He did not want anything that was there before. He then checked the bathrooms thoroughly for any wires. When he had completed his sweep ensuring that the place was not bugged and was not under any weird jutsu's he went to get food and supplies.
This mission was set up especially for him since Tsunade could not bring herself to have him stay in prison for abandoning the village when it needed him the most. As one of the last of the Uchiha clan he should have been first in line to serve his country, instead of running off to pursue his plans of revenge. And as for his plans he still had to make sure he took out Madara when this mission was complete. Tsunade imprisoned Sasuke for only two and half years after he killed Itachi. Kakashi's group was glad he was still breathing when they found him. He served hard time in the belly of the prison in Konaha, and twice contemplated suicide but knew he still had unfinished business.
Sasuke was taken from his thoughts as he witnessed a man being beaten in one of the alley's.
"No good freeloader!"
"We'll teach ya to come to our town like some big shot!"
The two men kicked and punched the poor soul until he could not stand. They robbed him and took his over cloak.
Sasuke paused, then continued to walk towards the market. The guy moaned in pain and pleaded for help. It did not come.
At the market place there were vendors shouting their specials, women with children – some under control some not, men bickering about the fishing contest coming up in two months, ladies gossiping about the latest scandal in the political and residential homes, and just a genuine haven for crooks to look for travelers and foreigners.
"How much can we do you for mister."
Sasuke turned to see two women half clothed standing by the open bar. They were definitely hookers, but they were run down and dirty. One had short black locks that were unkept and a little frizzy. She had on a short dull red komono with stars running through clouds. She had burn marks on her knees and old hickies on her neck. She had brown tired looking eyes with way too much make-up. Probably to hide the fact that she may have been beatin at some time or another. Her partner was tall and lanky. She too had a dull red komono but it had dragons on it that were racing through caves. Her hair was auburn and she had green eyes. Her skin was dry and flaky and she had a terrible overbite. She had the same pound and half of makep-up on for probably the same reason the other did. She was looking at him in such a daze, she looked as if she was high on something.
"You can do me up big after you tell me who you work for."
"REALLY!!"
"Yeah, I'm kinda feeling my way through this town and I need to know all the good spots. I'm sure you two LOVELY ladies can help a guy out." Sausuke was monotoned as ever, but he did give them a smirk.
"Well we work for Oratori Matsushida. He is one of the top bosses here."
"Yeah we just started working for him two months ago and he pays us well."
Sasuke took a step back and raised an eyebrow as he surveyed the two winches.
"He pays you well? …So it seems."
"Yes, but to tell you the truth the best boss here is Haguri Omatake."
"Yeah, he is the richest of the bosses and owns practically all this territory."
Sasuke peered to his right were he noticed some kids stealing from the fruit stand. There ages seemed to range from three to nine. He looked back at the winches who were now primping themselves and applying lipgloss.
"Uggh, so this Haguri, what does he specialize in?"
"Why don't we talk later and get busy now. It has been awhile since I had such a good looking man."
"Yeah, you said we could do you up, big. So we can go to the alley if you like or just right here." The two women burst out into laughter one snorting. They hugged each other seductively as they finished their private laughing session. Sasuke was not amused.
"Well I don't want to rush things, I like to take time with my women and you two deserve my every attention to those beautiful bodies." He almost choked this out looking at the two who were obviously hot messes.
"OOHHH, we are really gonna suck hard on you mister, hurry up and finish your questions I can't wait." The hooker with the dragon komono wrapped her arms around Sasuke's neck, as the other lunged at him to hug him. He was able to dodge the hug, but was kissed on the cheek by the other. He broke the connection immediately before she could put anymore foul spit on his face.
"Patience is a virtue. Now he specializes in…"
The hooker with the stars grimaced and looked at Sasuke cautiously.
"Hey you ain't some cop are you? Only cops run from me. They have morals and shit."
"Do you think I am a cop?" Sasuke looked at the girl with the dragon komono who was now loosening her komono more and looking as if she was going into heat.
"Oh he's too cute to be a cop and he's kinda scary. Besides, we're not telling him nothing this town does not already know. Look, Haguri-sama is the top boss, and everyone would like to be on top with him. I mean this literally too. I hear he likes to have more then one women and sometimes he…"
"I don't give a shit about his love life, what does he sell?"
"Everything!! Especially drugs and slaves."
"Slaves?"
"Yes. It is said that he has the biggest ring of whores, which are well taken care of and they even get hotels to work out of. He has pleasure buddies of all shapes sizes sexes and ages."
"All ages?" Sasuke frowned angrily at hearing this.
"Oh yeah, why would you like to get some kids for our little alley session?"
Sasuke could not hold his anger at this point. He needed to hear about what the boss he would be working for was capable of . The bastard would actually sell people and solicit kids. He was definitely going to kill him slowly. But first he would have to straighten out this whore.
He grabbed the woman by her neck and lifted her off of the ground, while the other tried to run he kicked her in the back, causing her to fall to the ground.
"Now do I look like a fuckin peddy to you??" His tone was harsh and he spoke through gritted teeth. He slung her to the ground on top of her partner.
"You two filthy winches would never be able to comprehend what a lady would be like. You are an eyesore and you disgust me. Get the hell outta my sight before I kill ya both!!"
"You are going to pay for this bastard, wait until we tell our boss you put your hands on his merchandise and did not pay!!"
They both scrambled to their feet and ran towards the west. 'So the Oratori family is that way.' Sasuke thought. 'Well objective two is taken care of. Now for some food.'
As he continued looking about the market he had been noticing some of the men who seemed to be watching him. 'Idiots, like I'm not supposed to realize they are checking me out. These guys are not my targets for sure. Tichiou is in the bingo book and I know I am going to have to make sure I keep my eyes open for him. Since he does not trust me already, I need to tread carefully… Hey!!'
"Run!!"
The three boys he had spotted earlier had just bumped into him as they ran from another person they robbed unfortunately for them they were cornered by some men that were just in the crowd.
"I'll teach you to steel from me brat!!"
One of the men smacked the tallest boy to the ground. He kicked the youngest in the stomach, while another man hit the middle boy over the head with a cane. The people seemed to walk by this display and no one intervened as the beating of the children continued. The town folks seemed to be in a daze, too scared to get involve most likely.
"Ow please, stop, I won't do it again…OW!"
"UNghh, Oh, stop please,!!"
The youngest only cried out in pain as he was kicked repeatedly in his stomach, head and face. The other two were being beatin on their backs with the cane and being kicked as well. The two men hit the children as hard as they could letting out all frustration.
Sasuke walked up casually to the beating. He was distressed at the fact no one would help the kids, but at the same time there were signs posted everywhere:
IF YOU STEAL YOU MUST SUFFER PUBLIC BEATINGS!! THEIVES BEWARE!!
The two boys, in a move of desperation stood up and rushed one of the men.
"Now run!"
"What about him??"
"Leave him, I am not going to die!!"
So the two older boys ran and left the youngest. The men picked him up by the ragged clothes. He was barely moving anyway. His body was limp in their hands.
"When you wake up you are going to wish you were dead, little spit."
"Yeah, I know someone who would like a young boy like you."
The two laughed as they threw the small frail body to the ground.
When they were finished they notice the kid was gone.
"Where the fuck did he go?"
"Hell if I should know. You dropped him right here."
"Well, if we see him again we can hold him for the boss."
"Yeah, Haguri likes the little ones most."
The water was luke warm and smelled like lavender. Sasuke put his hand to test the water to make sure it was a good temperature. He returned to the front of the one bedroom apartment, where he had only blankets and a few clothes items. He rubbed his hand across the young boys forehead where there was a large gash. He had bandaged it, but the bleeding was still pretty bad. He lifted the small child and laid him in the tub, making sure to support his head. The child was still unconscious which he felt was a good thing. It seemed that his entire body was black and blue from the beating and his arm was broken.
Even though he spent three years with Orochamaru, Sasuke studied a lot with Kabuto. He learned many things about medicines and healing jutsu's. When he returned to Konaho he was able to get some tips from Sakura, even if they were quick tips. He shook his head. "I don't need to think about her right now.'
He sponged the little one off as best he could and dried him on the bathroom floor as gently as possible. He dressed the rest of his wounds and wrapped him in a sheet. He did not have anything for him to wear so it was the next best thing. He found a comb, from his small bag, and began to comb out the young boys hair.
"Man, if anyone sees me doing this, my rep is shot to hell. If I had moved my ass faster, you may not have had to suffer so much kid."
Sasuke kicked himself for not reacting faster. He knew he was under surveillance and that rushing over would be a red flag that he was a do-gooder. He hated that he had to lay low as much as possible since he had not infiltrated the enemy just yet. That mission would actually take longer then the third objective.
"Ughh….mmm…oww." The little boy was coming too. He began to whine as the pain for his injuries set in.
"Hey, just keep still okay. Your hair is matted. I'm gonna cut it for you."
"UUGHHHH!!" The child began to whimper more as the pain of his headache reached migraine status and the pain of the broken bones in his arm began to throb.
Sasuke tried to keep him still until he could finish but, he knew it would be impossible. The pain herbs he had, needed to be ingested and the kid needed to have food with this medicine.
"Fuck the FOOD!!"
He forgot he did not get any.
The little boy began to cry all out, even though he did not struggle too much, he was hungry, tired, in pain, sleepy, and …
"OOOHHH….you gotta be fuckin kidding me."
The boy peed on Sasuke. The urine was strong and there was a lot of it.
"What you wait, to piss once a week? Someone this small can have this much water after looking as thin as a wafer?" Sasuke lifted the tike up and put him in the bathroom. He had to take a shower now so he could go out and get some food, but he could not take the boy with him. The little boys cries got louder and louder. Sasuke tried to clean the little one up again, but no matter what he continued to cry. Sasuke turned to the shower and turned on the water, but he realized that the noise from the boy might draw attention, so he left the shower idea and decided to try and calm the kid.
No use.
The little boy simply looked into his eyes and cried. Whailing a sad sob story of pain and despair. Yearning for this stranger to feed him and care for him. Crying that once again he had been abandoned. Pleading with Sasuke to take the pain away and make it better…
"SHUT UP DAMMIT!!"
The boy closed his mouth as his eyes were widened with fear and anxiety. He trembled at the sound of Sasuke's angry tone. Sasuke was never one to have patience, but the noise was causing him to lose his temper and his control. He did not mean to yell as he did, but he could not take it back.
"Now look…this is our situation. You and I need food. You are in pain. You are going to be a pain for me. We need to keep things quiet."
The little boy, still trying to stifle his sniffs only looked at Sasuke with a blank expression.
"Do you understand the words that are comin outta of my mouth?" Sauske questioned.
The kid just looked at him blankly.
Sasuke smacked the palm of his hand against his forehead and sat on the bathroom floor.
'Think genius, think. What do I do now?...I came back through the window while he was knocked out so that was not a problem, but now that he is awake he will make noise. I could tie him to me and hide him under my cloak, but what if I run into a confrontation? Think, Think, Think,…Got it!'
The bag was filling up quickly with fruits, vegetables, meats, and ointments.
"How much for the snapper?"
"1,000 yen."
"Give me three pounds and two pounds of shrimp."
"Would you like our famous family sauce? It is said to be a good aphrodisiac!" The little old man smiled widely as he cut his eyes to his daughter that was blushing brightly beside him. She gave Sasuke a wink and a pouted kiss.
"Uh…no thanks."
He took the bag from the old man who wanted to be sure Sasuke was not interested in his daughter, of 300lbs, six feet and six inches shoulder length hair with a thin mustache and hair growing from her neck.
Sasuke peered over the sunshades at the geezer with narrowed eyes.
"Let…go..of…the…bag…"
"Oh, dear me I apologize sir, have a nice day and please come back to see me if you change your mind about the sauce." He gave Sasuke a wink as his daughter blew him a kiss.
'This is going to be the longest six month mission of my life. When I see Tsunade I will personally see to whopping her ass. Of course I will collect my pay first.' Sasuke gave a sneer while thinking of what he would do to Tsunade as punishment, even though he was grateful that his sentence could have been more severe.
"We have to make two more stops before you can eat okay?"
The young boy was strapped to Sasuke's back underneath his cloak. He tied a bag on his back to keep the ones spying on him wondering if the bulge was from his clothes or was he carrying something. He just needed to get some decent clothes for the kid, but was not sure how to do this without being discovered so he decided he would just cut down some materials and make some clothes for the kid. After, eating he would have to reassess everything since he had a new variable and plan for what pitfalls could befall him if he decided to keep the k…
"What the hell is that smell?!" Sasuke frowned as he caught the odor of something that seemed to have decayed and was sent back through the body died, and sent back through again.
"Tell me you did not just shit on my back…"
The little boy began to whimper as he released the rest of what was in his little bowels onto his carriers back.
"Muthafu…aahhh,shittylittlebast..uughhg…this is just great, just great.fuck."
Through gritted teeth Sasuke mumbled in frustration and anger. He had thought of twenty ways he could kill this kid, and twelve ways he could kill Tsunade. He noticed the crowd was making way for him to come through as they all began to hold their noses or vomit when he got close.
Needless to say he did not finish shopping.
"I will not!!"
"Yes, you will or face utter and complete isolation and an eternity of dishonor to your offspring!"
Hirashi rarely showed any emotion which was the trait of most Hyugga's, but this time he could bare it no longer.
"No matter how many of these meetings you send me to, I will not concede to marry anyone that you chose. I am the leader of this clan whether you like it or not and until my sister's birthday next week I will run this household the way I see fit."
Hinata not accustomed to having to stand before her father at a family council meeting was red with anger and frustration. She was the leader of the House of Hyugga but in accepting her position she ordered that curse seal be stricken from the heads of her cousins and their servants. She allowed the marriage of Ten-Ten and Neji to take place since she made it an official order of the households and put into the history scrolls that if anyone denounced this union or tried to have it stated this was dishonorable those persons and their kin would be put to death. She was the needed leader to put Naruto's name in the bid for Hokage in the next two years, and she allowed the sell of one of the medicinal herbs, used only by the Hyugga Clan to assist in times of war. All these things she did to prove to many that she was not a push over. She walked with her head bowed only in the street since she was still shy but her body was always straight with grace and beauty.
"I will go to the City of Jouba and see about our trade for our new medicines. But I will not be going as a courtship to anyone. Besides, I here he is a tyrant and a crook."
"Nonetheless stupid girl, I am your father and as highest elder and blood relative, you will come back to this compound married or else I will overthrow your leadership.!!"
"You would not dare defy me. I have by word of the Hokage that our family has been in sound judgement since I came to be its leader and the council of Konaha are at my side. I will do as I said, When my sister turns sixteen I will hand over the role as leader to her and I will leave this place."
"But if you do that I would be looked upon as having a dishonorable daughter who lead the clan since you have no male to guide you. I will be mocked and laughed upon until Hanabi takes a suitor."
"Father you have never cared for my well being and through my life have only wished for me to step aside to make way for my sister. I am giving you that opportunity, and I am having my say in the events of my life."
"I will not stand for this.!! You will chose a husband as soon as you come back or never return to my sight wretched twit again!!"
The Hyugga council was appalled and astonished at this statement. They looked at Hinata who took it well, and responded quickly as she turned on her heels to leave and pack her bags.
"Remember this day will stand in our history, when you denounced one daughter for another, and the well being of your pride was set before the betterment of this house hold. I will do just as you ask Father, I will not return to this place until I have found my beloved."
