A/N: Number two hehe; sorry my chapters are pretty short and uneventful. I'm trying to fix it! Alright, here we go….
Oh yeah I do not own Naruto!
Ruthless was one of the many words to describe my brother.
"Hurry up!" he spat back at me even though I was only a few feet behind him.
So I mustered up more chakra and lunged myself forward. I was so close to him, matching his every step. Then we stopped.
"Stay hidden. Understand." He glared down at me for only a moment.
I nodded my head and backed into the shadows of the trees.
From what I could see, we were at a small village. I climbed the trees for a better look. The lights from the lanterns didn't light the streets very well, and the smell of alcohol started to invade my nostrils. Women's laughter could be heard off in the distance along with a few men grumbling something about 'A good time'. I listened for anything out of the ordinary. Nothing.
'What's taking so long this time?' I started to worry.
When my brother began 'hunting' no one was safe. No one. Finally, I heard a woman scream. I looked in the direction that it was coming from, but by that time it had ceased. Crouching downward on the thick branch below my feet, I slid my hands on either side of my legs and clutched my fingers around it. I leaned ever so slightly forward smelling a peculiar smell.
'What is that stench' I thought while squinting my eyes. Smoke.
Screaming. It was loud. It was blood curdling. It was terrifying. And, it was what my brother loved the most.
"Yin. Where are you?" he yelled upwards into the trees.
I landed beside him and quickly took notice of his appearance. Perfect. Not a single hair out of place.
"I've got the scrolls." He motioned with his hand to his chest where he had hidden them.
"Are you alright?" I asked just shy of a whisper.
He glanced down at me and placed his hand on my head and left it there. Taking a deep breath, he removed his hand bounded back into the forest. I soon followed.
We traveled through most of the night in complete silence. Nothing but the sound of wind flying past my ears kept me company. When we finally reached our destination I waited for my brother's instruction. He said nothing. He began to walk forward and turned his head ever so slightly, raising his hand and motioning for me to follow. I took large strides to attempt to catch up with him. Then, he stopped. When I finally looked up, I noticed a large boulder with some type of intricate seal. I glanced at the seal and then back up at my brother. He was staring. Hard.
Snap!
We turned instantly to take notice of the noise that had just been made.
"It seems that Leader-sama was correct in trusting you with his scrolls." A calming yet unidentified voice said beyond the brush.
"Mm I suppose it's only natural with a man in his position to see new comers as a threat." My brother spoke sternly, drawing out his final word.
"Hand them over. Now." A harsh and raspy voice demand.
'How many of them are hiding behind that brush.' I thought to myself as I reached in the side pocket of my shorts for one of my shuriken.
My brother pushed me behind him and removed the scrolls. He held them out in front of his torso and took a step forward. Raising his free hand and lowering it beneath the scrolls, he snapped his fingers setting the scrolls a blaze. I gasped and waited for his next move.
"Well, well, well, you caught on. Are you proud of yourself? You think this is some sort of game? Go back to where you came from and accept your defeat. You. Will. Lose." The voice chuckled behind the brush.
"Defeat is not something that I am accustomed to. It would be wise of you to locate your leader, I have a proposition." My brother spoke proudly and turned his head to glance back at me.
I had learned to read my brother's facial expressions throughout the many years that we have been together. Smirking was not something he did on a regular basis, and usually meant he was ready for a fight. And losing is never an option.
