Don't own these characters etc.

"Boss!! Boss!!"

"What you miserable scanks?"

Masushida was in the middle of his afternoon massage when the two hookers broke int his session.

"There is someone who did not pay for our services!! And disgraced your name!!"

"What?? Who would be stupid enout to talk about me and not pay my whores for services? Speak bitches, so I can make sure they regret it for the rest of their life."

"We don't know his name but he was asking questions about the bosses in this town especially, Hagurashi – sama…"

Masushida jumped off of the table and landed a punch right into the face of the hooker with the dragon kimono. He smacked her again hard enough to send her flying over the table with the oils. He went and grabbed her and gave her a headbutt to the eye and tossed her against the mirror, shattering it into many pieces.

"You know that name is forbidden in my presence. So I"ll make sure you never utter it again!!"

"Uhh boss, please don't please spare my sister¼"

He threw a kunai toward the other prostitute, missing her by inches. He turned back to the other who was trying to get loose of his grip on her throat. He took another small knife from this towel and stabbed her in the jaw. She shreaked in pain, as the blood spewed in every direction. He then dropped her and sat on her chest pinning her to the ground. He grabbed her tongue and with and unsteady hand sliced as much as he could. Blood poured over his hand and her face as she gurgled in her own blood. The sound of her partner crying in horror could be heard all over the building.

"Shut up or you will get the same!!"

He got off of her and kicked her in the head.

"Get out of my sight and never show your face to me again. You are washed up bitch!!"

He walked to the other who was kneeling and pleading to be spared. At that moment, before he could continue the interagation of her one of his messengers came in with information.

"Oratori-sama, we have word that there is a plot against your life at the Galore Ball. It is said that Hag¼urgh, your main nemisence has hired an outside ninja to take you out."

"Is that so…the bastard. I will definitely kill him one day and I will rule all of these territories. What does this would be assassin look like, or what is his killing trademark?"

"That has not been confirmed but our spy says that he may be targeting you at the ball so you should consider not going."

"What!! I run form no one. Iwill be meeting a young partner at this year's affair and I am told she is beautiful. She comes from the prestigious clan Hyuga from Konaha. I have good information from her father that she is looking for a husband, and no one suits her better than me. I have the brains and status to go along with her immense beauty and pedigree. She is also a med nin in training and she could come in use for me if the family gets into trouble with that fat bastard Haguri. She should be bringing one of their healing ointments te sell us… I hope she brings some sex creams as well.

HAHAHAHAHA!!"

"Sir are you sure yo can trust this girl, she is from a rival country and they really do not look upon us with favor. She might be the ninja aiming for you. You said yourself she is in training."

"Hmm good point. I will make my own decision upon seeing her. When does she arrive and were will she be staying?"

"In two days sir, and she will be staying at the Wa-Ataki Hotel in central city Jouba."

"I will make sure I am there to give her a proper greeting and become acquainted as soon as possible. Let me know if you hear anything else about this assassin."

"Hai."

He watched cautiously as the bowl was emptied, and the vegetable plate was being devoured. There was no water left and the fried noodles and shrimp were gone without a trace.

"Damn, I guess you were really hungry kid."

"MMMMMMM!!"

The little boy ate six helpings of food. As soon as Sasuke put food on the table and gave a nod that he could eat he went non-stop.

Sasuke shook his head in amazement. He wondered what now. He could not possibly have a child stay in the apartment since Haguri could come by at any time and what of his rep and status as a bodyguard in training.

'Think genius, what now. If I put him back in the street at least he might have a chance¼yeah right until he gets his ass kicked for stealing. Maybe I can use him as a messenger boy or a spy. Shit!! I have no attachements or obligation to him.'

Sasuke was lost in thought until he felt a tug of his clothes. He looked down to the tearful eyes of the young lad.

"Don't tell me¼.BATHROOM!!BATHROOOM!! You cant't say or motion when you gotta go?? Since when did my foot become a toilet?!"

Sasuke picked the whimpering child up under his arm trying to be gentle since his arm was still broken

"Listen…you piss or shit on me one more time and I WILL KILL YOU!!"

"LJJJJAAMMM¼JJIDOKLLL¼KDIIIKDKIII!!"

"What!!"

The little boy tried to say someghing but it came out as jibberish. Sasuke took the rags the little boy had on and put them to the side. He realized it was getting dark and he had not heard anything from the boss yet. He had not had time to think about his next move since he took in the stray kid.

The little boy played happily in the warm bath water. Gurgiling and smiling, he seemed as if he had no cares in the world. Sasuke reviewed a mission scroll while he waited for the boy to have his fun. "I need to find out who is manufacturing the drugs and fake medicines to the other countries. There's nothing but pharmaceutical warehouses in the outskirts of this village. Haguri may be running everything from the top but I need to take the wind from beneath this wings. Hm. That's right I have to make sure I take out the number two boss, to get the families stirred up. Now, what was that guys name…Oh yeah Masushida. Well he should be easy enough…'

Sasuke noticed the little boy trying to get out of the tub. He was about to slip and fall on his broken arm.

"No you idiot stay still, I'll take you out."

He grabbed the little one and scooped him up in his arms. The little boy cupped the sides of his face and kissed him.

"Hey…Don't do that, I'm a guy you dummy!!"

Sasuke flushed out of embarrassment, but realized the little boy was still looking at him with a peace in his eyes he had not seen since he took him in. Two days he pondered what to do with this kid. And now the boy seemed to be opening up. But not speaking. He knew what he had to do.

That night, Sasuke laid the little boy down to sleep.

"Hey kid, tomorrow you will have to split company with me. It is too dangerous for you here. Do you understand?"

The little boy frowned and seemed to sink back into a depressed state. The tears were quickly starting and ran down his face. His bottom lip quivered as he tried to keep in his cry of dissatisfaction.

"Look I am not a parent, I had no right to intervene. I will make sure I put you out in a safe place with some clean clothes and food, but then you are on your own, do you hear me?"

The youngster began to wipe his eyes with his left arm and silently sobbed. Sasuke felt like someone was ripping his heart out, but he knew this would be best.

"…Look you can't stay with me so stop crying already. I don't even have a name for you."

This made the boy stop and look at him as if he was confused even more.

"Your name… you don't seem to have one or else you cant' say it. You are too young to be said you are a man, but taking care of kids is not under my job description and…"

"UHNG…GUNH"

"What you want me to follow? You have to go to bed we don't have time to pl…"

Sasuke noticed the boy was trying to hold himself, He realized pee was imminent. He rushed him to the toilet were the little boy finally peed in the toilet bowl.

"Yeesss!! Finally you little piss ant!! You finally got it right!!"

The little boy bowed to him, and started to cry again. He looked at Sasuke with his dark brown eyes, with a look that said please reconsider. He took a hold of his sleeve and rubbed his head on his wrist in a circular motion as if he was a cat snuggling its owner. He then dropped to his knees and pleaded with his face to the bathroom floor, still sobbing, and now trembling.

Sasuke could tell the child was trying to get him to keep him, but as a Shinobi he knew this would be against all the rules and it could lead the boy to get killed unnecessarily.

"No matter how much you beg, I am putting you out, and that is final."

He picked the child up and put him in his make shift bed of blankets and a pillow made of stacked towels.

"It is for your own good."

He closed the door of the room and took a seat on the floor in the empty living room. 'Tomorrow cant't come soon enough.'

He thought. He heard a whistling sound from his window and approached with two kunai in his hand and one in his mouth. He activated this Sharingan to see if he detected any chakra. Bingo. There was an envelope with chakra written letters on the outside of the window. He read it.

COME CROW, SPREAD YOUR WINGS, THE RED SCAR OF THIS TOWN NEEDS TO BE CLEANED, THE FOX AND HOUND ARE PERCHED TO KILL, AT NEXT DUSK THE DRAGON'S WILL IS THAT THE HEAD OF THE WEST'S BLOOD BE SPILLED.

At that moment Sasuke noticed a red light coming into the window. It was the light of the Wa-Ataki Hotel. There were three stars at the top of the building and they all had different colors however, the other clolors didn't seem to work. Red shown in the room casting an eery preminision of much blood shed soon. Sasuke knew that he had to get some rest tonight since the real test would be decided tomorrow.

"Ahhh. What a great bath. This hotel is almost as good as the ones in Konoha. I wonder how they get these towels in such neat little animal designs?"

Hinata sat on the end of the bed of her push room. She was one of the honored guests at the medicinal exchange. She had opened some for the secrets of her clan's ways of working with herbs and ointments to make the Hyuuga Clan more sociable amongst the other grand households and families abroad. She was able to get in touch with one of the hospital workers and inquire about what they may need for heir village to help with recovery times of injured persons. She was a real business lady and intelligent.

"What am I going to wear tomorrow? The meeting today was a great success except the fact that weasel of a man Oragori wanted more than just a sample of cream. Man he gives me the creeps. He is nothing like the men of Konoha. He wouold not stand a chance against our village hotties. Hmmm… ahahah… I guess I don't stand a chance with the village hotties either. I am a man repellent. No one likes my company. Of course, who could blame them. Every where I go I am watched because of my status. If it was not for other people medling I would probably still be with Naruto. Oh well that is old news. Breathe, Hinata and keep your mind focused on what to wear tomorrow."

She began looking through her clothes. This was the first time she left without servants and bodyguards. She ordered no one accompany her since her father ordered her to return with a husband.

"There is no chance of me just finding a husband to make you happy father. I won't give you that satisfaction at all."

I guess I'll go out to the market tomorrow for some fresh fruit. Tomorrow will be a long day and evening."

"Get your fresh produce here!"

"Buy one and get the other half off…!"

"We go the best girls and guys in town come check them out!"

The town was a buzz as always. He slipped out of the inn without being detected since he did realize the lazy bums watching him never worked on their rotation for surveillance and so he took this hole in security as an opportunity to get out of the apartment with the little boy, undetected. He moved through the streets with the young boy behind him and as more and more people gathered he picked up his pace. His plan was simply to loose him in the crowd. He could not think of any other way to break off their ties to one another.

He noticed the little boy struggle to get pass the people to stay in arms reach of him, but it was no use. Sasuke continue to bob and weave through the crowd. When he looked over his shoulder he did not see the little boy. He quickened his pace until he was two blocks from the Wa-Ataki Hotel. He turned around and scanned the streets. From far off he spotted the little boy wandering around aimlessly, looking for him desparately, and growing more and more frightened. He could not do anything.

'He can't come with you…'

He reminded himself.

'Its's for the best.'

He bumped into a lady on his way in, but he did not say excuse me at all.

"These people here are so rude."

Hinata rolled her eyes at the back of the head of the man who ran into her.

"Now let's get some fruit ole girl."

Inside the hotel Sasuke recognized one of the men who was following him before. He was standing by a statue of a fox demon. The statue was marble and looked as if the fox had fire coming from its mouth.

"Crow-kun follow me."

Sasuke followed the gentleman into the next room.

"Well it seems you have been out and about our wonderful little town."

Haguri was seated at a large table with two girls on his left and one on his right.

"Please sit."

Sasuke sat on the edge of the round booth making sure he noticed were all the bodyguards were standing. He took note of the fact Haguri was eating and drinking almost as much for ten people as opposed to one. The girls were not eating but they shared drinks and took turns gropping and kissing one another.

"Do you like what you see?"

Sasuke rolled his eyes under his shades.

"What is our mission for today sir?"
"Tsk…Tsk…Now I do not have business before breakfast."

He snapped his fingers and the girl on the right moved towards Sasuke.

"Crow when was the last time you had a decent massage?"
"I apologize Haguri-sama, but I am not in the mood."

"OOOHHH…so that long hunh, I will fix that for you. Just relax."

The slut had already begun to rub his upper thigh and now was closing in to kiss him in his ear.

"Don't touch me."

"But Haguri-sama ordered it, and I do as I am told besides you look like you will be an excellent fuck."

She finally made contact with his ear. She swirled her tongue around and began to nibble the bottom of his ear lobe. Meanwhile she had crept her hand a little closer to his crotch.

"Haguri-sama with all due respect to you and your…friend…I must ask you to please debrief me on who you would like for me to kill next."

"Debrief, HAHAHHA…that was classic!!Whew, I never know what you're going to say outta your mouth."

Tichiou came up from behind and threw a small envelope on the table for them to look at.

"You have terrible manners Crow. The boss was offering you a chance of a lifetime to spend some time with his personal woman, and you turn it down?"

Sasuke looked up at Tichiou and put his hand up at his ear to stop the licking.

"I did not start work for Haguri to fuck around I am here to ensure that he keeps breathing and the other families know their place. Something I would think you, would take more seriously."

Tichiou raised his hands as if he was getting ready to strike, however, Sasuke never moved or flinched he simply commented…

"You'll be sorry…"

"Now, now, gentlemen…let's not argue, Crow, I will grant you your wish to get started. You will need to find out who the new distributor for Oratori is. I hear she is not only a member of a prestigious family but she is beautiful. Afterwards, kill Oratori. He is getting to be too troublesome, in trying to spread his territory within my well established spots. His hookers are hanging around my buildings too much and they are run down and ugly. I need for him to die a slow and painful death. With him gone I will own, all the west side. My sources tell me that ninja you disposed of was sent by him."

"Anything for you Haguri…"

"Hmmpph…Haguri-sama please do not forget about the meeting with the Wasori family."

Tichiou was really pissed off. He was often the favorite of Haguri. It was not until his seventh kill that he was offered the prize whores. This guy comes out of no where and on the second mission he is allowed dibbs on the girls. Envy was beginning to boil in his veins.

They left in a puff of smoke. Sasuke was ordered to make it look like another clan did it.

"Now let's see. What should I get for a small snack? This looks good."

Hinata picked up the apples and gave them a sniff. She looked up at the guy behind the fruit stand. The young man looked at her with a blush across his cheeks.

"If you like it then you can have it on me miss."

"Thank you."

She bowed and went to the next stand.

"Stop you little punks!!"

"Get them now!!"

Hinata was pushed aside as she noticed two men chasing a little boy. They ran to a nearby alley. She could hear the sounds of items falling to the ground.

"Byakugan!!"

She whispered the phrase to see into the alley passed the people. The men were smacking the poor child around and he tried his best to fight back. She began to run to help. She noticed another boy run into the alley to help, but he too was overcome.

"Stop it!! They are only children!!"

"Mind your business bitch, or you'll get the same!"

One of the men lunged at Hinata. She put her arms up and caught his fist spinning him into the side of the wall. She gave him a quick knee to his stomach and followed up with two elbows to the back of the neck.

"Hey know your place winch!!"

The second man grabbed Hinata by her collar and tried to hit her in her head, but she quickly blocked his hit and took her other hand and hit him in his chest. He fell back into the garbage passed the two kids. The two boys blinked in amazement. She knelt down to assess their injuries.

"You two are hurt. Where are your families? What are your names?"

Before she could get an answer the first guy got up and threw a kunai at her back but she was able to roll over and dodge it. She gave him a kick to the jaw and to his back, and another kick that sent him into the side of the buildings.

"No…UGNHH!!"

Hianta turned to see a sorrowful sight. The other guy had taken the dagger and stabbed the young boy with a bandaged arm. His big brown eyes filled with tears as the man ruthlessly carved into his little chest. He looked to be only three or four of age. The despicable man threw the now lifeless form to the ground as if it was just trash.

"YOU MONSTER!!...AAGGGHHH!!"

Hinata was crazy with anger she pounced on the man and began with her sixty four gentle fist attacks, bus she was aiming not jus to cut off chakra, her hist were hard enough that it was bursting veins and blood vessels and she continued until she could hear the breaking of bones. He screamed in pain as he felt his body begin to become mush from the barrage of hits. She was soo angry she let all frustaratin out on this scoundrel. The other man came to find out why he screamed so much and seeing such a sight he limped out of the alley way but not before he stole the bag of food that the little boy had. He had ample food for days. The only thing that tore Hinata away from beating the other man to death literally was the sobs of the other little boy who was knelt down beside the other that lied in a pool of blood.

She rushed to his side to comfort him as much as she could.

"We can not save him. I am sorry"

The little boy looked down rocking himself slowly. He was traumatized. It seemed he really wanted to save his friend. He stopped wiping the tears from his eyes and just let the hot water run down his cheeks.

"Here come with me."

The little boy looked at her wand shook his head.

"I will not hurt you. Plese I will take you for a bath."

He looked back up at her with the most pitiful of expressions.

"Let's go…okay?"

She picked him up and noticed he grimaced.

"Oh did you break your arm?"

The young lad laid his head on her shoulder and quietly whimpered.

Hinata took him back to the hotel where she gave him a bath, and some clean clothes. She was really distressed at how many times he had peed on her room floor. She noticed his urine was terribly strong.

"Geez…what have you been drinking?"

He looked at her blankly.

"So you don't talk?"

He stared at her curiously.

"Well if you won't tell me your name I will call you Riyu. How's that, do you like the name?"

The young boy looked at her and smiled. He pointed to himself and Hinata said…

"You are Riyu and I am Hinata."

He smiled and gave her a big hug. He was so happy he began to cry.

"Oh it is alright… sweet heart, I can try to take care of you while…What is that smell?? EWEWWEEEEWWW!! GO TO THE BATROOM!!"

As the little boy sat on the toilet he smiled up at her proudly, he reached out to hold her sleeve.

"Well we are going to work on pottie training you first. Oh, well it is almost time for me to get dressed. You just stay here I'll be right back."

Hinata prepared to get her kimono out and her other accessories. She would figure out what to do with the little boy later. Right now she had to make sure she was ready for the dinner with Oratori and the other medicine reps.

Sasuke was pulling out the weapons he had purchased before he returned to his room. He placed poisonous darts and explosive tags under his kimono jacket.

"Tonight I make my move. It all begins tonight. This mission will decide if I can bring down the families who have been plaguing the different villages with bad medicines and sending prostitutes into the good villages rotting their morals and robbing children of their innocence. These bastards will not receive mercy from me, the avenger."
