Hey y'all! Welcome back for the next chappie of Soar. Oh my, this is becoming quite a fun one to work on. Yes, yes, I know I'm rather strange and silly, but that's how I am. Get use to it, loves. I mean if you haven't already that is.
Anyway, I hope you all enjoy what happens this time. Please remember to favorite, follow, etc. along with leaving some nice reviews.
Chapter 3: Corkscrew
Where the hell is Itachi? Wonders Sasuke, searching high and low for any traces of the older Uchiha, itching to find him in order to know what really went down that fateful day, knowing if he really did it for the reasons he gave him at the time then he knows what must be done.
A light chuckle can be heard from beside him, not noticing that much how he has a certain Sanin in company, "My, my, your'e so eager to locate him, aren't you? You do realize that he's not an easy needle in the haystack to find…."
"So?" Glowers the raven haired male, sighing in frustration considering it's been two months from when he's completed his training to then be given permission to go seek out Itachi on one condition which is that Orochimaru has to come with him.
"No matter I suppose…. You've changed quite a bit after I rescued you," the serpentine male can't help except to curve his lips into a small smirk, recalling the memory with a certain amount of fondness. "But that's the past and nothing can change it even if we want to…"
"Stop being lost in memory then," frowns Sasuke, still unsure of his connection with his former sensei of sorts.
"We'll see," is all he says in response before they continue on their way, walking alongside each other in step, eyeing Sasuke from time to time thoughtfully, cosndierign a few things in particular to himself. "And what will you do when you find him, hmm?"
"You know what I'll do. It's what must be done if he has done it for the reasons he told me all those years ago," answers Sasuke without hesitation, not waning away from his aspirations in the slightest.
"Good answer then. Rest assure, Uchiha, that you'll soon learn how to flutter under my wings for the second time. Though that'll be on our little trip we're on."

Tears well up in those oceanic pools, Naruto looks up at Kakashi. Wondering as to how he can really help him, he thinks at least he's only been saying the truth to him. If there has been any lies then he probably won't be trusting him so much as he is now. The strength he lost is still on the recuperation process. Apparently from what he's been told is that he'll stay here in the silver haired male's room. Bedridden, he looks up at Kakashi still with an unspoken question on his lips.
How do you know that to be certain? Is what he writes down after picking up his notebook.
"Because I do," is all he says in response, tucking a few stray strands of his golden locks behind his ear, shivering at the slight touch of them against his flesh, sensitive in the ears though instead of other places.
Oh, is all he can put down in response to that, guessing he'll have to put some faith into what he's telling him, unsure if this is the right choice or not.
"Yes, well, the leaders are kind enough to allow you to stay with me," reassures Kakashi, knowing it must be still a fright; especially with the sudden changes. "Just take your time with recovering for now."
A single nod is all he receives in response. Falling silent, he does a double take on his surroundings to get a better feel for them. There's some adjustments to the room to give it a style that says it belongs to the Silver Fang rather than it being someone else's or a vacant space. Pakkun is sprawling out on his plush dog bed. Flicking his gaze up, the canine scoots over to paw at the sheet. Naruto's lips curve into a small smile, allowing the summons animal to climb up onto the bed. Circling around once there, Pakkun settles, more like flops, down beside him to curl up against Naruto's side. Blinking a few times in surprise, Kakashi doesn't expect this to happen.
"Well, it seems that Pakkun likes you. Rarely does that happen on the first try," admits the jounin, sitting on the edge of the bed, trying to ensure there's a comfortable distance between them.
I have a way when it comes to animals, Hatake. I mean the demon inside of me is a freaking fox for Kami's sake…. So, it's no surprise that your companion is getting use to someone else in your place, the shake of his shoulders signifies that he chuckles lightly at the expression Kakashi has in reaction to this.
"I….see," shaking his head in disbelief, Kakashi decides to brush it aside, taking out his book to read idly, guessing it'll take a while for things to become a semblance of normalcy around here again.
This isn't so bad I guess. At least he doesn't hate me. But what will happen when he finds out what's really going on here? The leaders have certain….goals to achieve that involve the jinchurriki. Not even I know what those are. I suppose we'll see how everything unfolds as we continue further on this interesting path.
Oks, that's the end of chappie three. It's a little short, but oh well. It contains a good amount of context for the story. It's pleasing to see that others are enjoying it so far. I mean I do adore and love working on this to pieces, but that's besides the point. Hehes
I hope you all enjoyed what happened this time. The next chappie will be out shortly, maybe tomorrow, depending on whenever it's finished being written up. Until then, please remember to review, darlings!
