One : The Great Escape.
At last, he had done it. The snake had nothing more to teach and in result, the student had conquered the teacher. Sasuke Uchiha had cut the only factor keeping him from completing his ultimate goal. Now all he had left to do -before going off and searching out the one responsible for his profound feelings of hatred- was to gather up a team of shinobi that could help him pin point just where that individual was. First on his recruitment list was a certain mist nin, who had been experimented upon by Kabuto inside the current base they were staying at.
The lab he was being held in was relatively easy to locate and once inside he didn't have to look very hard to find which cylinder experiment was right. In the back of the smaller lab, dead center was a large tank filled with water. To anyone it would have seemed like just that, an empty tank with nothing important inside, but how wrong they would be.
"It's Orochimaru's pet, what a pleasure." a voice chirped upon entrance of the Uchiha. "The fact that you're here must mean you've killed him."
"Yeah" The raven-haired nin moved forward, his hand pulling out his katana as he did. With one quick movement, he had sliced an opening in the glass allowing water to rush out, pooling beneath his sandaled feet.
He turned and stopped waiting for the shinobi to show himself. Slowly a male body began to emerge from the water, "Finally I'm free, Thank you Sasuke." the form replied.
"You're the first." Sasuke stated, tossing a look over his shoulder, at the still emerging male. "Come with me."
"I'm the first? So that must mean there are others?" He asked, pulling his fully manifested body from the water, completely bare of any clothing.
"I'll be taking Jugo from the northern hideout…" he paused looking away from the nude nin. "and Karin from the southern hideout."
"I dunno about them. I don't really like them and I don't think I will get along with them." he sighed and stood fully upright. "Sure you picked me, but I wouldn't be quite so sure about those other two, Sasuke"
"Stop talking and put on some clothes Suigetsu, we're going."
Laughter emitted from Suigetsu as he watched the Uchiha begin to make his way towards the door. "Ordering me around like a big-shot already?" he dispersed back into the water and in an instant was behind Sasuke, holding his index finger to the darker haired ninja's temple. "I'm going to make clear our relationship, alright. You chose to rescue me, so I don't have to listen to you and just because you defeated Orochimaru doesn't make you better then me. All that simply means is you had more opportunities to kill him because you were his pet."
A long silence ensued and Uchiha kept his glare narrowed on his current annoyance. "Just Kidding, wow your heart didn't even skip a beat, so you must be telling the truth." Suigetsu sang, pulling back. "I have one request if I am to even consider helping you though."
"I'm listening."
"I sort of promised a girl a while back that if I ever were to get out some how and escape that I would bust her out too," he explained, cracking his neck while rubbing his shoulder. "She seemed pretty important from what I could tell, her name was like Kimi or something."
The name seemed to strike a familiar cord with the Uchiha. "Kimiko Fuzen?"
"That's it!" he exclaimed, showing off his pointed teeth through a grin. "So how about it?"
"It doesn't bother me, she's useful and I can use her if you choose not to join."
Not far down the hall from where Sasuke had found the water shinobi, was another lab. Instead, though, this one was comparatively larger and was covered in tubes and wires running along the floors and ceiling. All of them connected to a large container in the back of the room in a similar manner Suigestu's had, but the tank appeared empty. As far as the Uchiha knew, the girl did not have the same ability as the mist nin.
"Where is she?" Suigetsu asked, scanning the room as well.
"Back there." Sasuke said, moving towards a single door with a paper seal, locking it shut. Easily he was able to disable the seal, then looked back to notice Suigetsu following him and watching intently.
Guardedly, he pushed the door open, the light from the laboratory flooding into the darkness. "That smell, it's so foul." Suigetsu criticized.
"Quit complaining." Sasuke stepped inside, the bothersome nin behind him. It took a second, but he found what he had come for.
Within a crumpled heap of clothing and hair was a frail-looking girl. She was laying in the dirt her eyes shut and her body quivering in her sleep. The Uchiha concluded that she was indeed still alive, which he had figured since Orochimaru had wanted to use her. "Come on wakey wakey." Suigetsu instructed, walking over to the body and putting his foot to her shoulder and started to push her back and forth. "We've come to rescue you."
In reaction, the girl began to groan and aimlessly swat at the foot to make it stop touching her. The clattering of her chains being pulled to their limits echoed throughout the room, and she slowly opened her moss green optics groggily. "I recognize that voice -yawn- is this my conscious playing tricks on me again?"
Searching the room her gaze settled on the two males standing there, neither she particularly recognized. "Kimiko you're the second." she blinked in confusion and tilted her head to one side. "You'll be the second joining my team."
"That didn't answer my question. You guys aren't part of my damn hallucinations are yah?" she asked again.
"No." was Sasuke's blunted reply.
"Kimiko, be happy. I found you a reason to live." Suigetsu snapped kneeling down and took one of the shackles in his hand. With increasing the size of his hand, he had also increased his strength and with one clench the iron shattered, releasing her left hand.
The mentioned girl sat up against the wall slowly, her body evidently sore from years of sleeping on the rigid floor of cells. "What?" she finally squeaked out, her voice feeling hoarse and dry.
Suigetsu was preoccupied with taking care of the shackles, so Sasuke resumed explaining. "You're joining my team, to help me accomplish my objective." he had repeated himself. This time something seemed to register with her.
"I know who you are now." she declared. "Your Orochimaru's bitch, that Uchiha kid right?"
"Hn." he grunted in reply. Great what had he gotten himself into? Now he had to cope with two significantly annoying nins. It was a small price to pay so he could have the ideal squadron.
Suigetsu could barely suppress his laughter. She was still defiant and frank like he had witnessed almost two years ago. "You're that voice!" she exclaimed, a moment later regretting it because she broke out into a coughing fit. "So -cough- you are real."
"No Shit. Like I said you weren't talking to yourself." he scoffed, breaking the last remaining shackle. "And I actually have a name, Suigetsu Hōzuki."
Kimiko looked down to her wrists and rubbed the raw skin tenderly. The black bands were still there and it was beginning to make sense why someone would want her on their side. Nevertheless; she wasn't going to nitpick, she finally had some purpose. She looked up to the unusually familiar male that had taken care of her restraints. Suigetsu, he was defiantly different then the Uchiha. His hair was lightly colored with a blue tint, his eyes were disks of lavender and Kimiko also noted that his teeth were pointed. What an unusual shinobi this boy was.
"I'm thankful and all, but I stink and I'm not sure if I could defend myself at the moment." she said, totally out of character. The dark haired kunoichi tried to stand up using the wall for support, her leg bones popping into place. "I need a damn shower and some clean clothes if I'm going anywhere."
"I second that Sasuke, I personally don't feel like traveling with a smelly girly." Kimiko shot the mist ninja an unpleasant glare, but shrugged it off. How could she be angered by the truth?
The idea of taking longer then intended to get out of the base wasn't ideal, but he had a plan. "I think Tayuya's old room has some clothes that will work for you." he said turning to walk away, Suigetsu trailing after. Kimiko gritted her teeth in pain and pushed herself from the stone wall and pursued the two males.
"So we're picking up others?" the shadow haired Kunoichi decided to ask as she trotted along side the Uchiha, even though she was having difficulties given that her muscles were still adjusting to movement once again. Up ahead of the two, the mist nin was playing in a puddle swimming around as if it was the deepest lake.
"Yes, Karin and Jugo." he answered monotone.
This answer received a scowl from the girl and he merely raised a brow. "Karin is a heartless bitch and most defiantly a two-faced cow." was her honest reply.
Suigetsu popped his head up from the water showing off a pointed grin. "See Sasuke, Karin is no good, not even the queen bitch herself likes her."
Kimiko shot him a glare and instead of stopping at the edge of the puddle like Sasuke had, she sauntered right on through it. "I hope I'm stepping on something important." she snickered, however, it was short-lived because a hand shot up from the water grasping her ankle and pulled her support from under her, causing her to trip into the puddle; face first.
"Oh I do hope I hurt something important, like how about that ego of yours." the water shinobi chuckled, watching Kimiko pull herself up from the ground. Her new attire was now soaked all down the front. Her black strapless, medium sleeved top hugged her non-existent curves which then cut off at an angle about mid thigh region, while the signature purple rope obi was tied securely at her waist. Under that were a pair of white spandex shorts, and lastly a pair of black sandals cutting off at mid calf.
"You dick." she cursed pushing some soggy hair from her face, which she had cut shorter. Currently her hair reached just below her shoulders, instead of waist length like it previously had been. She had also tied the black mane into two separate pigtails at the base of her hairline. A look of appall was now coating her features. "You're naked aren't you? Suigetsu, that's so sick, I could be like all over you… or you could be all over me…"
"You two stop it." Sasuke demanded frustration laced in his voice. "I'm going to need Karin for her abilities, besides I thought you weren't joining us Suigetsu."
"About that." the light-haired shinobi crooned. "I was thinking that I'll join if you help me with something."
Sasuke showed that he was listening, and Kimiko -who was now out of the puddle-, was interested as well. "My ambition is to collect all of seven swordsmen's blades, and if I understand correct, that it was your team Sasuke that took out Zabuza Momochi?" the Uchiha nodded. "Well then I want you to take me to his grave so I can obtain his sword."
"Hn, it won't be that much trouble, the village of Mist is on the way, now come on." he directed stalking off ahead.
The Fuzen girl quickly began to follow after like a lost duckling. Suigetsu grumbled and emerged from the puddle and quickly got dressed, then sprinted to catch up with the two dark haired nins.
