Uchiha Sasuke lay back on the grass, it was a pleasantly relaxing afternoon; the wind blew, the trees rustled, animals scuttled about happily…
Sasuke, however, found it a little harder to enjoy the glorious mid noon sun and the soft, lofty grass that brushed against his pale skin, what with being surrounded by countless ANBU black ops and several more Jounin, all of which glaring dangerously at him.
Looking back on his day he could probably trace exactly when it went bad.
First of all, he had woken up… never a pleasant experience. Though, it could be said that waking up was a highly trivial activity in his lively day, he found that it was probably the key of all his problems.
Because, with waking up, he could once again blame his horrible day on his cursed older brother, if his damned older brother hadn't insisted on giving him traumatizing images that would haunt him day and night he likely wouldn't have woken so abruptly.
Nor would he have woken up quite so early… or at all for the entire the morning, likely slept in until noon.
Ignoring all the plot-holes in his thought patterns he mentally cursed waking up that morning, placing all the blame on it… and his brother, of course, he always made sure to find a way to blame his brother as well.
'Damn you Itachi…'
The Uchiha was in no mood to fight an army of ANBU, nor did he intend to. His chakra was drained already and his body highly fatigued. Grumbling he watched as the Shinobi's milled about, creating an impenetrable wall of ninjas that was supposed to block him from running away.
He found the attempts pitiful as, if he could, he could crush them all with his Chidori.
He ignored the voice in the back of his head that screamed in denial, claiming that even the Chidori would have difficulty with such large numbers.
Although, it would be pointless to fight back anyway, he was on his way to Konoha anyway…
…no, not to return like a good boy. Far from it.
To confirm or dismiss a very disturbing rumor he had happened upon a few days ago.
Well, to be more exact, two disturbing rumors.
Sighing deeply his eyes drifted shut, no need to contemplate it all now. As long as they didn't dub him a threat they wouldn't kill him, besides, if one of those rumors happened to be true… they'd be wanting him back to Konoha alive.
---
Disturbed.
That was really all the Uchiha really felt as he stared at the blond Hokage in front of him.
No, it wasn't that he thought the buxom women was an eye-sore(far from it…) it was being in a straight jacket that really got to him.
Tsunade grinned at him, "So… what brings you to Konoha Uchiha-san?" her entire voice dripped with a gloating sarcasm that truly made him want to tear out her eyes… better yet, Chidori her to the next dimension.
The annoying voice once again cut in that he likely would have a little bit of difficulty killing the Hokage.
Sasuke glowered at her, oh how he wished he could reply.
Curse the duct-tape.
"What was that? Cat got your tongue?" her Cheshire grin spread on her attractive face.
After about a half-hour longer of enduring the infuriating bit-…female's taunting, she finally seemed satisfied.
Kami, could she ever hold a grudge. So what if he ditched Konoha, nearly got some of her aspiring Genin(at the time) killed by underlings of her ex-teammate, traumatized her favorite group of Shinobi, caused her to have to listen to her disciple's whines about him and killed several of her ninjas whenever he ran into them?
"To answer the first question I am sure you came here to find out… yes, Uchiha Itachi is dead."
His eyes narrowed, did Naruto…? Or was it Kakashi?
Tsunade chuckled, catching the curiosity in his eyes, "No… it wasn't any of your former teammates."
His eyes screamed the one question he couldn't scream himself.
'Than who'
"No one you know, in fact… I think you'll find this hilarious…" she chuckled again, eyes crinkling with laughter, "…i…it… was an accident!"
He brought his wide eyes to look at hers.
"A group of ANBU ran into him while on a mission, he was severely injured and could hardly put up a fight, so after a short while they began bringing him back to Konoha for interrogation… however, they had been on a mission, an important one at that. So, while they were discussing what they would do about it an enemy Shinobi snuck up on them…"
She trailed off for a moment, simply enjoying the different expressions that crossed the young mans face, "The ANBU were able to avoid the rain of Shuriken, but sadly, your brother wasn't. But he wasn't quite dead yet. While they were debating whether or not they should heal him so he would last long enough to reach Konoha one of them tripped on a pebble and landed on Itachi. A Kunai that hadn't quite been deadly a second before killed off the S-class missing nin. The ANBU accidentally pushed it straight through his heart."
Needless to say, this was an awful lot to take in.
His entire life ever since he had dubbed himself an 'avenger' seemed rather… stupid.
His elder brother, murderer of the entire Uchiha clan, S-class missing nin, member of the criminal organization known as the Akatsuki…
…died on accident.
His eyes narrowed and Tsunade knew what he was silently asking.
'Who?'
She rolled her eyes, "I already told you it was no one you know, but if it makes you feel better his name is Tetsugi Haru. No, he isn't part of a big clan, nor does he have a signature jutsu. Just your average, well rounded, ninja."
Somehow, the fact that the name really didn't ring a bell made his heart drop. If it had been someone he at least knew of… but no, it was some random Shinobi with no real special talents.
He suddenly really felt like hitting something.
"And about the second rumor…" this caught his attention, he wasn't sure how he would take this information; on one hand, if the rumor proved true, Itachi was dead so it didn't matter… on the other if it proved false… well, he was back where he started… more or less.
He wasn't sure if he could digest any more information either.
He certainly hadn't quite digested Itachi's untimely demise quite yet. It now became apparent to him why they put him in a straight jacket… he still wasn't so sure about the duct-tape though(though he had his suspicions that it was just to annoy him).
Now if only it wasn't infused with chakra… he could deal with it easily if it wasn't.
Tsunade paused for a dramatic moment, smiling maliciously at him.
"Yes, you are married."
Sasuke sat silently(not that he had much choice…), this… was a little much.
His sharp, questioning gaze met her brown eyes again. His eyes didn't ask how, which startled Tsunade slightly as she had been perfectly reading to guffaw at him some more while explaining exactly how he ended up married of all things without his own knowledge…
But his eyes burned with a different question, one she was equally ready to answer, but still not the one she thought he would ask first.
'Who?'
Tsunade didn't answer; instead she turned to Shizune, who he just noticed had been standing by Tsunade the entire time, and whispered something to her.
Shizune nodded shortly and exited the room.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow, continuing to glare darkly at the fifth Hokage he demanded an answer with his eyes.
"Patience, Uchiha." She replied shortly, semi put out at not being able to gloat over his head about how the event occurred… oh well, she was positive the chance would arise later.
The door opened and Sasuke dearly wished he had enough movement abilities to turn around and view what was behind him.
…especially after hearing the Gaidome's next statement.
"Ah, you brought her."
"Hai, Tsunade-sama."
A short silence.
A snicker.
"What's wrong, Uchiha? Don't you want to look at your wife?"
Oh how he loathed that taunting bi… female.
Sasuke attempted to make an annoyed grunt but nothing escaped the layered, chakra infused duct-tape.
Finally, after more taunting, a small voice cut the Hokage off.
"A-ano… Ho-Hokage-sama… I-I… think maybe w-we shouldn't… a-antagonize h-him too much…"
Tsunade glared in annoyance at the voice before sighing and nodding, "I suppose it's only fair that I listen… he is your problem now after all."
Before the voice could reply Tsunade turned to Shizune, who had returned to her side, and gestured vaguely at Sasuke.
Nodding, Shizune walked behind him and spun… whatever he was on(he wasn't sure, he'd woken up in his current position)… around to face his… wife.
Lonely and sad eyes reached his; she played with the front of her lavender kimono.
A deep breath, she was trying to call upon courage that was failing her.
Long, straight and sleek indigo hair, that would likely cascade over her shoulders, that was instead bound by a braid that started at the base of her neck.
He honestly didn't recognize her.
"K-konichiwa… My name i-is Hy-Uchiha Hinata… i-it's a pl-pleasure to meet you, Uchiha-san."
(Ending Notes: Okay... let me be the first admit I have written better in the past... I think I'm losing my touch . -sigh- oh well... lots of Sasu-torture in the future X3 I'm going to be attempting third person while sorta being in Sasuke's POV, I'm not very good at that so I need to practice...
Also, I would like ya'll to vote on which fic you want me to write next... there should be a list at the beginning of 'Hostage'. Ha ha... my devious way of making you read it XD
Muse-chan gone to eat ice-cream!)
