Pride and Hate

Chapter one

Dead bodies, what a lovely sight. She thought staring at corpses. Being the GOA leader and a part time medic nin, it was common for her to see dead or dying things. Her eyes narrowed disgustedly at the head on the pike, the fort built here had been blown to bits. Her cousin stood next to her with huge eyes filled with surprise at the destruction and bloodied scene. His red eyes gazed steadily around the ruined area.

"God…" He muttered in awe.

"God isn't home." She walked past him with a solemn look.

She kneeled beside the first body and cringed at seeing the first man's body was torn apart, but nevertheless she looked for any signs of life. Nothing. Her head hung a bit in failure. There was so many dead…and in not a lot of time…

"How many more are there?" She asked him.

"Raidon…"

How many more are there Sasu?" Raidon repeated, it was more a demand than a friendly question.

"Six more…" There was a regrettable mutter.

She ran to every single person in sight. All the Konoha Nin, or all the ones she could see at the moment, were found dead and mutilated, it was a sickening sight to Raidon. Raidon then heard a quiet moan.

"Did you hear that?" Sasuke nodded and gazed around with those red eyes of his.

The moaning emerged from a couple yards away. The two ran as quick as they quick, digging through the wreckage, throwing off pieces of wood or metal. How could someone live through this terrible ordeal? She thought squeezing her eyes shut of exhaustion and because dust flew into her face. The moaning grew louder and Raidon's heart pounded with happiness as she leapt from wreckage to wreckage.

"Raidon!" Her cousin called out from a few feet away.

In the next minute, Raidon found herself kneeling beside a dying young man, he was moaning with his eyes closed. Her hands lit up to a dark emerald aura and she pressed her palms against the young man's chest, there was a giant gash in his stomach and he was missing his left hand. Sweat racked her face and she grunted, trying to keep herself from falling asleep. Her cousin placed his hand gently on to her shoulder in reassurance, yet his expression was solemn and yet a pained one.

The man's moaning changed to wheezing and his bright blue eyes flew open with panic.

"Hey, calm down, it's going to be alright." Raidon spoke gently.

His chest raised rapidly, his eyes wide with panic. Damnit, He's not calming down. Stress won't help him. She thought biting on her lip. The mans' body thrashed uncontrollably under her hands.

"We're leaf shinobi; we're here to help you." Sasuke searched through his pocket and revealed his headband to the man. "I am Uchiha Sasuke and she my cousin Uchiha Raidon."

The man shivered at their names as if they were to fear and glared weakly at Raidon. She focused her healing on the man ignoring his glowers.

"Cu-cu…" The two Uchiha's attention turned to the man, whose eyes were bloodshot with fury.

"Cu-cursed!" The man's remaining hand launched up and grasped hold of Raidon's neck.

"Rea-Rea!" Raidon's hand prevented Sasuke from unsheathing his katana and slicing off the man's remaining hand.

Instead, he heard a low growl as she drew the man's hand away from her throat, the man cried out, utterly helpless.

"Now," Raidon grunted glaring at the man. "Hold still and try another stunt like that and you'll be left handless."

While the man flinched at this threat and stiffened to allow her to heal him, Sasuke frowned at this. Though here weren't any bags under her eyes, Raidon was exhausted and getting snappy. Snappy Raidon equaled something bad. Sasuke watched his older cousin heal the man again. Then the younger one spotted the mutilated hand, with missing fingers and dried blood all around it. In the palm was a black clothed headband, the symbol faced down into the palm and he picked it up careful not to bringing the hand with the headband.

"Rea," He faced her and held out the headband to her.

It was from the Rock village.

"I thought we had enough fighting with that village. (1)"Raidon mumbled lowering her gaze.

"No, guess not." Sasuke replied frowning.

Her dark green aura vanished and she got to her feet brushing dust or anything off her knees. "Sasu, I'm going to need you to pick him up."

He silently nodded and scooped up the man. The man's eyes shut silently groaning.

"You're going to report to Tsunade-sama right?" Sasuke questioned raising his eyebrow and running.

She flew next to him. "She needs to know. Have that Ibiki dude interrogate him or something."

Sasuke rolled his eyes. "I'll take this guy to the hospital." Ibiki getting a hold of this guy is would be hell for the poor guy.

"Hopefully she'll send a message to Sunakagure. If the Iwa village is acting up, they should know." The female Uchiha's face paled at her own words.

Sasuke sighed heavily. She was really, really tired. Raidon's eyelids began to close slowly and as she did, her body began to hover lower and lower. She may have not noticed, but Sasuke saw this instantly.

"Rea, I'll handle this." Her head snapped up waking up from the sound of her voice and turned to him. "Go home and sleep."

She wanted to open her mouth to protest, but then she silenced herself with a huge yawn. Her body could give out any second. Maybe he's right. Ever since her dealings with the Immortal three, (2) she and Ran had been tired and couldn't sleep well, or something. Then again, if Raidon ended up in a third coma, many people would be furious (3).

"Fine," Raidon sighed hesitantly giving in.

Her younger cousin's face lit up with a grin and she floated over and hugged his arm affectionately.

"He better get back buddy or I'll beat you up." Raidon teased playfully tapping on his nose.

With a roll of his eyes, Sasuke replied. "Just get sleep. I don't want Nii-san freaking out later."

Grinning lightly, Raidon waved and vanished.
