Hi well this is the forth chapter of my story I'm going to dedicate it to Littleredneverfellagain for her amazing review I hope I blow your expectations out of the water. Thank you to all of you who are reading thois and sorry it took me so long to update.
"Let me go!" I hit his back as hard as I could but the only damage I did was to my own hand. "I swear I'll kick your ass!" My empty threats didn't seem to worry him in the slightest.
Itachi had blurred us both back into the church. Somehow still holding Sasuke down with his foot. Probably for some strategically reason.
Maybe to have his allies aid him or something. Looking over to them I noticed his allies were getting their asses handed back to them with garnishes.
His laugh shook his shoulders which in turn shook me as well. I looked down to the ground to see Sasuke struggling under Itachi's boots. His nose and brow was twisted up in anger. Our eyes didn't meet but I looked into his.
They forced me to look away subconsciously. Rage was all I could get from his eyes right now. Letting that spread to me wouldn't do us any good.
It all felt awkward, especially because we'd been so stupid stopping here. Thinking we'd be safe. One thing was almost certain though, we're screwed.
Sasuke and my eyes made contact after I made a small yelp noise because Itachi hosted me even further over his shoulder after I'd tried to shove myself off his shoulder. I was basically flipped upside down with my hair completely hanging. His shoulder had dug into my lower stomach surprising my muscles.
He looked worried, his anger had dissolved. I gulped. I mouthed but made no sound, 'It'll be okay. I'll think of something.'
After forcing a smile and nodding nervously I mouth again, 'I always do.'It's not possible to count how many times I've said those word to either myself or Naruto. Or Sai.
Instinct started to kick in finally after I'd finished my little pity party. Formulating a plan I took a deep breath. I can do this. I have to.
I slung my feet over his shoulder with all my weight and grabbed onto his belt; pulling with all my might. I landed on my back flat on the ground. It hurt and there was definitely going to be a bruise on my spine but I'd recover.
Landing very close to Sasuke I turned my head to the side to look at him for only a second. Smirking I rolled onto my stomach and quickly got up and to a broken wooden banister sprint.
I had no weapons handy so I grabbed a decent sized piece of wood with a few nails protruding out of one side. When Itachi turned to look at me I threw it straight for his dick.
He barely registered the pain. The nails had bent to the sides. I was stunned, Fuck!
l heard Sasuke wince from the ground. His older brother was digging his boot even deeper into his neck with a malicious intent. Sasuke barked out between coughs, "Run you idiot!"
Standing there shocked I wasn't sure what to do. Itachi's face was so calm and inviting which seemed to be messing with my whole train of thought today. I mean I'm pretty sure he should be like cackling or scowling or threatening or something! That's how this whole thing usually played out.
I started to book it faking as if I was running away. I couldn't think of anything else to do but I wasn't running away. I had no intention of leaving Sasuke I just needed some kind of inspiration to kick his ass.
I got my muse when I turned around. A chain was attached to the wall. I followed it with my eyes looking for where it led to. It was holding up one side of a long rectangular chandelier.
Itachi called after me in a disappointed voice, "I guess I was wrong about you." God make me gag Sysco Freak!
When I got to about five feet in front of the chain I picked up a piece of medal that had come from a blown away wall. Smashing the chain and sending the chandelier swinging into Itachi. It sent him flying through the air and into the wall.
"Well I wouldn't want to disappoint," I added smugly.
Sprinting back to Sasuke I put my hand out for my new friend but he didn't take it.
He super speeded up and scooped me up as well. I clutched onto his shirt knowing what came next. His eyes looked angry but thankful.
Before he could blur the two of us away I demanded, "What about Naruto and the others?"
He looked over to them and then back to me. "They seemed to be holding their own in their fight. They'll be fine. I can hear the engine of the van, They'll be fine, I'm sure!"
I wasn't so sure but knew if I protested he'd probably just take me away by force. Plus I could see Itachi getting up, if we were going to make our exit it had to be now.
It achit staggered to his feet apparently feeling the blow quite strongly. He was the one to look furious and Sasuke was the one to smirk this time.
It was a nice feel good moment. I saved a super freak from another super freak when the first super freak couldn't even save himself. Hurray for normal people being Bad Asses!
We blurred for probably a half an hour until we stopped. He put me down. Sasuke was out of breath and hunched over. I put a hand on his back seeing a blood stain. His shirt had been ripped up pretty bad but I couldn't actually see a wound now. I assumed speedy healing was responsible.
We ended up inside a normal looking house. Sasuke flopped onto the larger leather couch, "I think we lost him." He was still panting.
I went over to him and put my hand on his shoulder, "Are you okay?" He nodded but I could tell he was completely out of it, "I'm going to go get you some water!" I got up to go into the kitchen but was pulled back down.
A rough masculine hand was wrapped around my wrist. Looking at his eyes I deduced that they pleaded with mine to stay. Still panting he spoke, his hot breath hitting my nose, "Stay close just in case I'm wrong and I haven't lost him."
I nodded. "Okay."
He looked to the ceiling, "And Thank you. For not leaving me. For coming back."
I blushed. I had thanked Naruto and he had thanked me time and time before. He had hugged and even kissed me with gratitude but this was different. Maybe it was his warm labored breaths on my face but there was a heat in the room that was making my hands clammy and my heart fluttery.
I felt as if he had transported me back to high school where every day was a love drama of some kind.
I turned my eyes to my knees, "It's cool. You're the one that got us out of there and back at the other house so yeah, We're like even or something." I mentally smacked myself for talking and stumbling over my words like an imbecile. " I wouldn't leave you, I wasn't going to it was just a bluff." Bringing my eyes back up to his I felt like my heart beat was climbing enough to snap my ribs.
Our eyes met. The stare he gave back to me was empty of any emotion; a plank canvas.
I got up feeling I needed an exit and some air. "I'll go get you a glass of water."
Walking into the next room I frowned. The place was a dump. Someone had burned what I assumed was the former dining room table, the fridge was wide open and the inside covered in some brown muck, the sink was overflowing with dirty dishes and worst of all there was what I could only describe as a torn apart or mauled rat on the counter.
Ignoring it all, the smell, the sight and the sick feeling in my stomach, I walked over to the cupboard. Opening it up I could see a dozen or so cans which I would use to make us something later and also a case of water half empty. Being thankful for the things we'd need being so conveniently here I took out two water bottles.
Rummaging through a couple drawers I pulled out two steak knives and a larger butcher's knife. I hide them all in my jacket. I feel naked without sharp tools.
Coming into the other room I saw Sasuke hunched over on the couch. He looked better than when I had left but not great. I passed him the bottle of water, "We've got some food here so we should be good for the night if we decide to stay."
Sitting down beside him I asked, "How are we going to get back together with the others? We didn't organize a meeting spot or anything."
Sasuke sat up straighter, "Shikamaru is with them He was listening to our conversation before. He'll know to head to Alaska. Which is where we'll be going and Naruto knows where that is yes?"
I nodded, "Yeah, I guess. He's been there before. We spent a month or two living in the bunker when I hurt my wrist." Laughing slightly I added, "You know us normal people always seem to be getting hurt some way or another."
He asked being curious, "How'd you hurt yourself?"
Smirking I explained, "Well a Freak, I mean infected individual," Saving myself I smiled. "Was trying to get away in a van. What he didn't know is that I'd jumped on the roof of it from the house he'd been staying in's porch. When he noticed though and tried to shake me off I lost my grip and flew off onto the road."
He nodded, "Let me guess you didn't exactly stick the landing?"
Exposing all my teeth I answered, "You could say that."
He smiled, I smiled and then we laughed. Maybe at my past spill, maybe as a celebration of surviving, maybe because we were both going insane from the madness that seemed to be around every corner or maybe it was because he was slowly making me lower my guard.
Whatever the reason for our laughter it didn't last long because the next thing I knew I heard a door slam open and we both went dead silent.
He and I exchanged a look full of worry and then he hardened. Sasuke stopped looking to me and got up from the coach. He looked very intimidating standing straight from my spot on the couch.
I fringed as I heard two male voices. Leaping up I tried to listen closely, I couldn't make out what they were saying. Whispering to Sasuke I asked, "Do you think they're freaks?"
Sasuke shot me a death glare and I coughed quietly, "I mean . . . . people who posses powers?" I really needed to get a hang on that.
Before he could reply approvingly two guys in their mid thirties walked through the double doors. They both had hand guns which made me nervous especially because neither of us were in the best shape. Sasuke stricken with fatigue and me having no weapons except the knives I had found just minutes ago.
They both halted in their tracks. The older of the two spoke, "Who are you two?" He had black shaggy hair that was littered with gray strands. His chin was covered in a stubble.
The other of the two seemed more distrait about our presence. He raised his gun and pointed it at Sasuke. Even though the bullet wouldn't do any damage, even though I knew he'd be fine even if the two of them both tried to fill him full of lead I was put on edge about this gesture. Ironically I had only days ago tried to fill him with lead myself.
Nervously I said, "We're sorry we didn't know anybody was living here already. We'll leave." I pretended to be the terrified little girl, that way if there was a confrontation I'd be able to have the element of surprise.
In the corner of my eye I saw Sasuke smirk. The two men exchanged a look as well. Once they turned their attention back to us the other man also raised his gun.
"I think the two of you should stay a while," The older one announced. "Especially because you," He motioned with his gun to Sasuke, "Look a lot like someone I know."
Without thinking I asked, "Itachi? Are you two Freaks?" I tried to look scared but if they were freaks this whole thing would be a lot easier.
"Yeah, We are." The younger one said. Both pistols point to me, "And who are you?" Shit Sakura! Great job let's just take the heat off of the indestructible guy to your right and put it on yourself!
Still pretending to be afraid I put my hands to the sky, "My name's Rebecca Allan! I have the documentation and everything!" Walking closer to the two slowly not to alert them I put my hand in my jacket to grab my knife.
The older man shouted, "Stay where you are!"
I faked a gasp, "I'm sorry!" Putting my other arm in my jacket to grab the other steak knife. Making my voice frantic and worried I said, "I'm got my Passport Somewhere here!"
The younger of the two scoffed, "We don't need to see your passport it doesn't matter."
"Oh, well does this matter?" Having both knives in my hands I threw them at both men. It was two clean cuts to the neck blood arteries. They hit the floor one after another not being able to get one shot out from their guns.
Walking over I went to retrieve the guns and the knives. "So do you think there are more of them around?"
"Probably," Sasuke had come to stand over me. "You know we probably should have seen if they had any useful information first."
Frowning I looked apologetically up to him, "Sorry. Impulse you know?"
He shook his head. Walking over to the window with long green curtains he asked, "I don't think it's safe to stay here. Do you?"
"Nope, I think we should skip over to one of the smaller towns or remote houses around here for the night." I finished taking the three guns I'd found on them unfortunately there was no knives or other weapons.
He smirked, "Is that what you think?"
He was mocking me so I decided to mock back, "Well yes it is. And because I did just save your butt an hour or so ago from your crazy sibling I think we're going to be doing what I say."
My grin was spread from ear to ear as his smirk faded into a gloomy frown. After excepting defeat he spoke, "Where to oh wonderful leader?"
Even though it was sarcastic I liked the sound of "Oh Wonderful Leader." I think I'd start getting Naruot to call me it.
I open the door and smiled looking back, "Let's go Cadet!"
Sighing he followed and mumbled, "Yes Sir."
