Plans
Crash!
"Fuck,"
"You should really be careful on how you clean."
She glared at me. I heard her mutter 'Fuckin teme' Well, this isn't the first time she said, but this is probably the fifth glass she break. Better stop her before any valuable really break.
"Ruko-san, I think it'll be better if you just go."
"Very well, Uchiha."
She went out of the room. I sighed. She is the type of woman I can't stand: uncooperative, annoying, rude, and... well the list goes on. How she made it as the head of the yakuza while being a maid is a mystery. Someone knock on the door.
"Come in."
The door open to revealed Inabi. I frown deeply. When he come, it would usually mean trouble. After all, he hate to come within a 5 radius meter to me. It grew stronger when that bastard kill her and ran away with almost everything.
"Sasuke...sama"
"Inabi"
A silence grew each time a second goes. This better be good.
"I have some bad news for you."
"Make it short."
He gave me a glare but I ignore it.
"There are recent report of drug-dealing around the Uchiha Compound."
"And what is the problem?"
"These dealers are getting the Uchiha men involve and using the Uchiha name."
I felt myself getting angry. It seem that the clansmen are getting desperate for salvation from this hell. Damn Itachi. For driving Father insane, For killing Mother. For making me the leader of this deserted clan. These dealers that are using my family names and those that are betraying me will have die.
"We'll deal with it."
I'll need Ruko to call in her contact to help me so I went to her room. The Uchiha Compound is far off from the majority of the cities making it easy to do things a hell lot easier. A mansion for the leaders and within a gate, a lot of houses for the rest of the clansmen. Through its now empty for many desertion. I arrive at the third floor where she has requested to be. The door open and we bumped into each other.
"Watch where you're going," she yelled.
I feel myself twitched. "You were the one to bump into me."
She was about to say something when her face changed its expression. It seem like she remember something.
"I'll deal with you later. If you need anything, call him."
And she was gone before I could stop her. Dammit. Where the hell is that maid going? My anger double over. Look like I'll have to call that guy. Another stupid silence.
U*U*U
Ring. Ring. Ring.
"Hello,"
"Kyuubi, it's me."
Sigh. "Hold on one minute. He's calling also."
"Yo."
"I need you."
"Doesn't the two of you always need me?"
"I need information."
"I need you to finish that shitty device. Yume walk off to danger again."
"I'm just about to finish so shut up."
"You know Kyuubi...you are so slow."
"Don't forget useless."
"Oh would you two shut up."
"She's/He's right, you know,"
"It's not easy trying to get the finishing touch when we're talking three ways. So I'm gonna go. See me around tomorrow noon. Bye."
"He-"
"Too late. He's gone."
"He better finish. It's hard keeping Yume from walking about."
"And its hard to get you from getting hurt,"
"...I'll be fine,"
"...I'll see you soon."
"Yeah."
U~U~U
"Kakashi-kun,"
Hm. I look up to see Rin standing at my desk. She was holding a big and I mean big stack of papers in her arms. If I add the look her face has on, I could tell I have a lecture coming.
"Yes...,"
"You're slacking off again! I have a pile here that you need to review and write up right now."
1) I am not slacking off. I am reading the latest edition of Icha Icha Series. 2) I'm pretty sure that pile in her arms should be done because I ask someone nicely and that person agree. 3) If I have to do paperworks, I'm bringing Obito with me 4) I am totally not slacking.
"I am not slacking, Rin-chan."
She rolled her eyes. How that guy like this girl is something I will probably never find out.
"I have seen you try to get Kozue to help and that is not his job. It's- she set the papers down on my desk hard - yours. I have a good day, Kakashi-kun." she said with a smile.
Great. Paperworks I have to do when I could be doing something way better. I look at it and then to my book. What should I do? I thought of just skipping them but then I thought about some not so good consequence that will pop up later. I sighed. Better get Obito.
U*U*U
"Nine, I'll be going out now. I leave her in your care."
"Of course,"
I watch as the sister leave the apartment. Hime-sama is home for now. That is all that matter.
"Nine! Nine!" she called.
I saw her come toward me and embrace my legs.
"Yes,"
"muuuuuukaaaaaaaa,"
"We'll see,"
She laugh merrily.
"Nine."
I looked to see Ai standing near the living room.
"Is she gone?"
"Yes, she is. Hime-sama was just asking if we could go to a restaurant."
"Ai!"
"Hime-san, welcome home."
I'm happy that Hime-sama is here with Ai and me. And she'll continue being with us once more.
"Let us get ready."
U~U~U
"Where the hell is that idiot?"
"Calm down, Sasuke-san. Ruko-san will come when she wants to. If she is not picking up, that mean she has something else to attend to."
"Gaara-san, I need your so-called leader to plan out what my clan need to do. It is part of the agreement, isn't it?"
"That is why I am here. Ruko-san tend to care about something more important to her than her status as the leader."
"I do not care. She is not only a leader of the yakuza but she has also agree to be my maid. Thus, making me higher than her."
Next thing I know, I was push to the wall with a knife to my throat. Gaara's eyes were burning with hatred with bloodlust in them.
"Ruko-san is someone you cannot order around for you own reason. She will come when she want to, leaving me with what she cannot do."
I glared at him. This guy is only one of her minions, yet he think I will listen to him. I am the head of the prominent Uchiha clan. I will not be talk like that. Despite the knife, I threw a punch at him. He dodged.
"I will not be talk like that to someone of a lower rank. If she is not here, then I will not need such useless woman."
I left the room to go and find another person to discuss the clan's problem. If Ruko gets back, I will make sure she regret it.
U*U*U
"I will kill you for this, Kakashi."
I paused at reading the reports and looked at Obito. We are currently reading and writing these stack of papers that Rin had set. So far the papers were mostly reports of criminals and crimes. I can honestly say that I'm tired after just doing five of them.
"No you won't. And you shouldn't blame me, blame it on Rin-chan."
Obito went back to writing. "I'm good."
Sucker. He can't do a thing when it come down to women he prefer not to fight with. In Feal, there was a lot of women who can break your bone or drive you insane. Even I wouldn't try to do anything after trying to hit on the chief.
"Tell me again why do you have that girlie thing on you,"
I fingered the blue necklace I have on. Even though it has been five years since I met her, I still think about where that girl might be.
"A reminder."
Obito rolled his eyes. "You know for a player, you are a hopeless man."
I flipped through a drug case report. "Say the guy who won't confess to Rin-chan."
He blushed. "Shut it!"
It was my turn to rolled my eyes. Chicken. We went back to silence to try and finish these papers.
U~U~U
"Hime-san, how are you?" Ai questioned.
"waaaaaaaaayaaaaaaaa"
"I'm glad. But please be careful when you are alone."
"I agree with Ai here. We don't want to lose you," I tell in her.
Hime-sama stopped walking, letting Ai and I stopped also. She looked into our eyes and smile kindly.
With an open arms, she cried, "Looovvveeee yoooouuuuu"
I thought about how she is able to form such words to us, those words that mean the world to Ai and I. I put my hand on her head and replied the same.
"I love you too Hime-sama."
Ai looked angry that I replied first.
"Hime-san, I love you too. More than anything so we will protect you."
"naaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooooo"
I smile as I carried her in my arms.
"Shall we continue to the restaurant?"
Ai and Hime-sama agreed wholly.
U*U*U
"WE. ARE. DONE." Obito cried.
Half a day on a chair and I'm willing to call Miki to help me relax... or one of the others. I got up to call it a day. My plans for the rest is to read the next series of Icha Icha and walking around the city, leaving the fun part later.
"Obito, I'm going. Tell Rin-chan I'll call her later."
"Sure. But next time I won't help you with this."
I smirked. "I know."
"You better tell Tsunade that you're going or else there will be more work later."
I groaned. Dammit, I swear I feel like ditching everything right are more cons in meeting the chief than pros. I looked at my best friend pitifully. He just ignored my cries.
"I'm not planning to get loaded with unnecessary things."
Traitor. I trudge to her office thinking about how to get out of it without getting caught. I can ask Kozue but then he'll break if Rin find him. Maybe I can bribe Anko-chan to help me...or not. She'll just kill me for disturbing her time with Iruka. Asuma and Kurenai will be impossible. Asking Hayate will be like asking an asylum with his coughing. Ibiki will just go on with his horrible hobby. Yugao will just be a mother hen. Gai... I rather lay off women for a year than ask him for help. I'm stuck. I guess I'll have to go through with it.
"WHAT?! GET THE SQUAD NOW!"
Shizune ran out and into me.
"Oh, Kakashi-san."
"Good evening, Shizune-san. Is anything wrong?"
"Please speak to Tsunade-sama about that."
She ran past me going wherever she need to be. I look at the chief's office and went in. There were papers and empty bottle of sake everywhere. It reek badly of sake. I pity Shizune-san for being her assistant. Tsunade was nursing her head like she has a hangover. A bad one.
"Is anything wrong, Tsunade?" I asked.
She glared at me. "Check it."
She threw a folder at me which I dodge. There was no way I'm going to catch something thrown to me by her. It hit someone in the face.
"Ouch!"
"Sorry about that, Iruka." I said.
Another glare from a person. "Why must someone get hurt from you?"
I just shrugged.
"No time for that! You guys have a case," Tsunade informed.
"What is it this time?" Kurenai asked.
"...there has been report of drugs trafficking around End Sea."
I was confused by this and so was everyone. There would always be drugs trafficking around Twilight. This job would mostly be given to Tokubetsu Jonin.
"This will be different because we have information of Orochimaru."
The room stilled. I was a bit skeptical about this information.
"No offense, Tsunade-sama. But is this information legit." Asuma asked.
She sighed. "I don't know but this info was given to me by K.N."
This guy again. K.N started giving out information to the Feal or any of the law authorities about 2 years ago. So far what this guy has given us has never been wrong. We don't know who he is or how he's giving us this information except that he either mailed or stuck the info to one of the police.
"When are we heading out?" I asked.
"In 5 minutes."
U~U~U
"And then Ken went up to me and hit me," Ai said.
We were at the Kōri Yuki eating our ordered foods as Ai tell about his day. Hime-sama became very displease when Ai was involved into a fight.
"Aeeeeeeyyyyyaaaaa"
"It was because he started it. Saying that I stole his girlfriend."
"You still should not involve yourself in a fight," I inputed.
"Niiiinnnneeee, don't abandon me."
A laugh sound itself out. I glance at the girl who watched us for quite awhile. A petite black-haired girl came to our table. It was the owner of Kōri Yuki.
"I'm sorry for laughing," she apologize.
"It is alright, miss," I said.
I felt Hime-sama's hand clutched my hand.
"May I join you?"
"If you yourself don't mind." I offered.
Ai has gotten up to offer a chair to the Miss and went back to his own. I could see Hime-sama watching her intently. I tried to process why she is being affected by this stranger.
"Are you the brother of these two children?"
I reviewed our situations. Ai has been with me since the day he was two. He has grown up to be a fine boy at the age of 4 ½. As for Hime-sama, I am her guardian, her protector. If only I knew what I needed to do sooner, than she would not have gotten hurt later.
"Niiinnnnneeeee"
I came back from my musing and noticed that everyone was staring at me. Hime-sama alert me to look at her.
Her face was forgiving as it always has been. "ooooaaaaaaayyyyyyy"
"I'm sorry but was I wrong and caused something."
I closed my hand to Hime-sama.
"No... I was just reminiscing about the past," I excused.
She smiled. "The past... how was it for you?"
"Etooo, Nee-san, what's your name?" Ai questioned.
"Oh! I'm sorry. I was so excited to talk to someone else that I forgot introduction must be made," she exclaimed, "I am Haku Hae."
"That's a nice name for a pretty lady like you. I'm Ai Uzumaki."
"Ai, that means love correct?"
He nodded his head.
"What a lovely name! Your parents must love you very much."
My signals were telling me a taboo subject is coming. Ai's face became tense and his body language changed. From the corner of my vision, I noticed that Haku-san noticed also.
"Yeah, they do," he lied.
"T-that nice," she said turning to me, "Um, what about you two?"
"I am Nine, caretaker of these two, and this is Yume-hime."
"It's very nice to meet new customers. How do you like my restaurant so far?"
I examined the shop. It was small, but also elegant. The main color of the shop was snow white with transcending colors of blue. There were small decorative snowflakes in all sort of sizes and shapes. Kōri Yuki was a fairly popular restaurant that isn't easy to find. A magnificent shop that can be found only by the observants from what I gather.
"Your restaurant is lovely and the food is delicious enough that Hime-sam is enjoying it."
Hae-san smiled pleasantly. "I'm glad."
"tmmmmmmeeeeeee"
I looked at the time. "Ai, it is time to go."
"Ehhhhh!? But it's still earlllllllyyyyyyy," he complained.
"No it is not. The time has shown to be 8:00."
Ai sighed and agree to go home. I had talked to Hae-san for a few more minutes and payed her the bill. She has told us that we could come any time. As we went out, Hime-sama continuously look at Hae-san. I could tell - knew - that Hime-sama will walk somewhere once more. I will wait for her to tell me.
U*U*U
Knock. Knock.
The door opened to reveal Gaara in his uniform; a sand-colored shawl and tan cloak. He was observing the room I was in. The room was messy unlike how it was when I wasn't angry. Things were ripped beyond recognition. There were dents and holes in the wall. Broken furnitures were spread out.
"If you are so worry for her, then you can go. I will take care of everything."
I snorted. "It's not possible. I have no right to be near her."
He walked toward me and took away the knife I held. It was covered in blood and tears.
"Yet, you sense that she was injured and called her."
He took out a handkerchief and began to wipe the blood off me before bandaging the cuts.
"I am needed here by Uchiha."
He sighed. "Uchiha-san needs a plan to deal with the dealers and his traitorous clans."
Figure. If it weren't for his brother killing the lady and then running away, the Uchiha head wouldn't have kill himself. That left a fifteen year boy to be in charge of the clan. So young to experience the weight of such responsibility. I smiled grimly. Nowadays, we're all too young to experience the darkness of this world yet it happen to us.
"Are you sure you would be able to concentrate?"
"...Yeah. I gave my word to Uchiha that I will be loyal to him."
"All right. Be careful and don't ruin the bandages I did."
I smiled. "I'll try."
U~U~U
A/N: Yes! This story is out. There were some factors I had to tell but eh.. so how do you like Haku who isn't really Haku. She's nice isn't she. The story will continue on as everyone meet everybody and secret are reveal. (I wanted to say that) It'll be kinda slow so be prepared if you get impatient for the update of any progress. Have fun ^^
