Not what you expect 2: Sequel to Not what you expect. Kagome is sort after by the Akatsuki and some unknown village. What will Sasuke and Shikamaru do to help her?
Recap:
"Bring that girl here! Alive and safe or alive and damaged! I don't care which you…"
Just as Pein was about to finish his order, they all heard footsteps entering the room. They looked towards the sound and observed the individual who leaned against the wall with his arms folded in a relaxed pose.
"A girl giving you the slip?" the man asked rhetorically "Well I suppose there is a first for everything Itachi"
The man chortled as everyone bowed in acknowledgement of his rank.
"So tell me Pein, about this girl" grinned the man
Chapter 3-The girl, Kagome Higurashi
"A girl has been identified has a true priestess; similar to those from ancient times," Pein replied "I have ordered Itachi and Kisame to apprehend the girl with as little damage as possible"
"And what purpose does this girl serve?" asked the man still leant against the wall.
"A priestess has the power to kill and sense demons, with her power the extraction process of the demons will be easier and less time consuming as well as less man power. She will become the Akatsuki's official demon extractor." Responded Pein.
"Hmm…" replied the man, processing the information that has just been given to him, while rubbing his chin in thought. "Does the girl have a name or is she just priestess?"
"Higurashi Kagome" replied Pein
The man's form stiffened suddenly as his relaxed form tensed and he stood straight up leaning forward bringing his hardened face into the light.
"I see" he responded stiffly.
The Akatsuki members continued to intensely watch the exchange between them, the man rifled something from his pocket and threw it towards Itachi.
"Show the girl this and I can guarantee you will have no issues bringing her in" stated the man "I don't want to see any unrestrained damage marring her body"
"Lord Ryouji?" Questioned Pein.
However, Ryouji ignored him and turned from them all and walked back into the shadows his gait stiff.
Pein turned to both Itachi and Kisame,
"You are dismissed."
And with that they both left the hideout, with a mission at hand.
Itachi surveyed his surroundings as he jumped from tree to tree in search of the woman he had set his sights on, a slight frown coming to his features. His partner didn't comment.
'This has become more complicated,' he thought.
It wasn't long until Kisame broke the silence between them.
"So we can't damage the girl?" question Kisame
"Hn" Itachi replied.
"Well, this mission just got harder" Kisame said nonchalantly.
Suddenly, Itachi came to a stop.
"Konoha ninja, just up ahead" Itachi stated.
"How do you know they are Konoha?" asked Kisame
"I can sense the nine-tails chakra" he replied
Slowly, they both too positions behind trees where they could interpret what they were saying without being found out.
Glancing up at the sky, Shikamaru sighed in defeat. Again, another mission failed. There was no sighting of Kagome and they had arrived too late to Sasuke's last location and only to find a mangled body left lying on the ground. Shikamaru sighed again,
'How troublesome,' he thought.
"Can anyone see any clues as to where Sasuke may have been heading to?" Asked Sakura as she searched the dead man clothes for additional clues as to why Sasuke may have come into contact with the ninja.
"Nothing significant over here," responded Shikamaru.
They continued to search the surrounding area until Sakura came across a piece of paper scrunched up in one of the man's pockets. Curiously, she unravelled the sheet of paper and gasped, drawing everyone's attention.
"What is it forehead?" asked Ino as she raced towards her the remainder of the team.
"It's Kagome" she answered vaguely.
Shikamaru scrutinized the sheet. There was a detailed sketch of Kagome's head and upper torso.
"What does this all mean?" Asked Naruto.
Shikamaru glanced at the sketch once more.
"We can only assume that Kagome is being hunted…but why is still unknown" he theorised "Let's report to Tsunade."
A/N: I know it has been a long time since the last update but at least there is one here :D
