These Walls- Trapt-
Like clockwork
I commit the crime
I pretend to be
Everything they like
I've been here before
I've seen you before
Chapter two people I hope you like it. Please review or comment.
Edward and Itachi weren't in the best of luck that day. All of the holding cells were taken except for one. So Asuma used one of the block hand cuffs on each of them. Left Itachi blindfolded, and bound both their feet in similar wooden blocks.
As he closed the heavy wooden, and metal door, and sighed tiredly. Looking at the two teens in the cell. They were so young. How could things like this happen to the youth of this world. Itachi was seventeen, and the blonde boy looked about the same. For all they knew he was part of the Akatsuki too.
Asuma leaned against the wall and waved the guard, trailing his every move, away. He could watch two unconscious teens and send a messenger to Lady Tsunade when one of them woke up. He just hoped they didn't get up at the same time. Now that would be a mess, and he knew it.
As Asuma was dozing off slightly a few hours later the blonde boy woke up thrashing and then sat up to meet Asuma's worried gaze.
"Where am I?"
He asked. Asuma had put out his cigarette and held his hand up to halt the on slaughter of questions. The blonde boy glared at him, but kept his mouth shut. Asuma nodded for the guard to get Tsunade, and Ed looked around his cell. His eyes landed on the unconscious Itachi and he frowned.
"What happened to him?"
He asked and Asuma smirked, as he lit up another cigarette.
"You."
Ed winced as he realized that must have been the person he landed on when he got there.
"He gonna be okay?"
Asuma shrugged, and Tsunade stormed into the dark corridor.
"Which one is it?"
She asked Asuma at the same time glaring at Ed.
"This one."
Ed replied. Slowly getting ticked off that he was not only bound and caged, but being looked at like he was some sort of criminal.
Well it definitely wouldn't be the first time. He thought bitterly to himself. In fact back home it happened so often he was starting to believe he was a criminal. Man if Al could see him now.
The thought of his brother made him somber up. His anger slowly fading. Would he ever get to see Al again?
"Has he tried anything since he has awoken?"
She asked briskly.
"Hello I'm right here?"
Ed spoke up.
"Do not talk unless asked to."
Tsunade barked at him. Ed was suddenly reminded why women were so scary. She had stomped her foot and left a dent in the floor where her heel was.
"Yes ma'am."
Ed said timidly. He began to draw a transmutation circle in the dust on the floor, and got ready to escape. These people didn't seem like the type to listen to reason.
Tsunade's POV:
I looked at the boy in the cell with Itachi. He looked the same. Black tattered clothes, his once braided blonde hair messy, gold eyes, and a mechanical arm.
"Now what is your name?"
He looked tame, but his eyes burned with passion, and possibly anger.
"Edward Elric."
What an odd name. I couldn't help but think, his clothes seemed strange too. He wasn't wearing sandals, but leather shoes with thick soles.
"Where do you come from?"
His face became guarded and he countered with an question of his own.
"Where am I?"
"Konoha."
The obvious confusion on his face was surprising to me. I didn't let it show on my face and cleared my throat to draw his attention back to me.
"You didn't answer my question."
His eyes narrowed and he sat up straighter. I saw he had been drawing something it looked like a bunch of random circles and lines. It was my mistake at the time to ignore it, and think nothing of those lines.
Ed's POV:
There was no way of explaining I wasn't even from this world. I had no idea where I was except that it was called Konoha.
"I'm a traveler."
It was the easiest thing to explain.
"My men tell me you fell from the sky and landed on S-Rank criminal Itachi Uchiha."
I tiled my head. I had no idea what S-Rank was but I definitely knew the word criminal. And this Itachi person must be the guy knocked out in the cell with me.
"Well if you mean that guy, then yeah I guess I did."
She followed my pointed hand and then froze. Confused I looked over to him as well and saw that he was waking up. Unlike me he rolled onto his feet and stood, even chained up ready for a fight.
I made the mistake of shifting, and Itachi, I was still just guessing that was his name. He nearly disappeared and was suddenly way too close to me. I barely had enough time to make a spike and break the cuffs on my hands. I rolled out of his path and pushed myself to my own feet. Then turned the shackles around my ankles into bits and pieces of wood. I was almost grabbed by the blindfolded Itachi and grabbed him by the neck with my automail arm. He seemed shocked to feel the cold metal wrapped around his throat. But I only knew that because he tensed in my grip. It was then that I annoyingly realized the guy was an inch or so taller than me.
"Who are you?"
He asked in a calm voice. As if I wasn't holding him in a potentially deathly grip.
"Edward Elric. And I'm guessing your Itachi Uchiha."
As he was going to shove me away I heard the door open and Itachi was grabbed by Tsunade and he froze instantly. She pulled him out of my hold and the guy with the cigarette shoved me against the hard wall. I kicked him in the chest with my left leg and he made a oof sound as he stumbled back. I made a opening in the wall and started to run.
Itachi's POV:
"Get him!"
Tsunade yelled out from behind me. I didn't even try to move. I might be able to get away from Tsunade, and Asuma, but once they sent the ANBU after me I wouldn't be so lucky. I was already low on chakra and Kisame wasn't around. This didn't seem like the best situation to be in at the moment.
Plus being bound was never a lot of fun, or worked to someone's advantage let alone mine.
So I thought of a better plan.
"You wont be able to catch him."
I said flatly. If there was one thing I was better at then fighting it was lying.
"And how do you know that?"
Tsunade asked venomously.
"I work with him."
Her grip on me tightened, and I knew I had hit the nail on the head.
"So he's powerful?"
I nodded.
"Very."
"How do we stop him?"
I laughed coldly to add more to the act.
"The only one in the Akatsuki to take him out were I and our Leader. Your nin don't stand a chance."
I knew she was thinking, and I knew what she would offer me when she was done.
A deal.
"What if I convinced the Elders not to execute you right now?"
I nearly smirked at my own geniuseness.
"Then I would be in your debt Lady Tsunade."
If I wasn't blindfolded I knew I would see her sneering face. She was pissed off, and it was coming off of her in waves.
"My Lady you cant be planning on using him to retrieve the kid?"
Asuma pleaded from to the left of me.
"I'm afraid we have no other choice. But this doesn't mean I trust him."
Her grip on me was gone, and before I could move a muscle she placed her hand on the back of my exposed neck. The chakra burned into my flesh, and worked its way through my body. It took everything in me not to scream out in pain. I did end up collapsing to my knees, and just barely kept myself from face planting.
"What did you do?"
I hissed out from gritted teeth. It was her turn to laugh and I wished I could glare at the woman. Maybe trap her in a genjutsu where all she hears is my own laugh.
"I have bound you to the village limits, if you try to leave you will be stopped instantly. And if you use your abilities on any one in this village I have the authority to immobilize you."
If I had less control over my emotions I would have sneered.
"Then unbind me so I can go stop him before he gets out of the village limits."
I was quickly unbound and my blindfold removed. I made sure to keep my cool so the Sharingan didn't activate. I would need all my strength to escape the seal she placed on me. Even now I could feel the binding power behind it.
"Now go."
I was already half way out of there when she said the words. I had struggled to my feet and was looking for someone I had no idea what they looked like.
Then I figured I might as well try to get past the seal, and escape. Since Kisame was nowhere to be seen he must be waiting right outside the village limits in the woods for me. And he wouldn't wait long. Plus he had all of our money. So I ran out into the village, weak and tired, but heading for freedom.
Too bad I never really made it.
