Chapter 3
Kiba, could currently be found sitting in a chair watching the insane silver-haired man do his show. The wild-haired brunette wanted to cry. The man was interacting with dogs that weren't there. Kiba dug in his pocket and pulled out the, to his best guess-necklace and held the curious object in his hand.
"Where did you find that?" The silver haired man said in a grave voice now unmoving.
"In a fun house..."
"Put it away! Now!" The man urged.
"Why?"
"Because its evil and he needs it!" The man said now looking around paranoid.
Kiba shoved it back in his pocket and looked around.
"You need to get out of here and destroy that thing! It brings no good." The man named Kakashi said now gripping Kiba's upper arm tightly and looking at him hard. "Keep it concealed. We must get you out of here." The man said walking Kiba to a pair of doors and slowly opening them.
"Most people here mean you no harm, others will kill you. Understand?"
"How do I know your not going to kill me?"
"Because you saved my life."
And with that Kakashi began leading Kiba and the scared brunette kept his eyes peeled for Naruto and the others. Kakashi led him closer and closer to the gate stopping every few minutes and remaining quiet.
Kiba was terrified for himself and his friends. He had no idea what was going on or happening, but he wanted to go home and cuddle with his dog and forget this ever happened.
The man walked into a different fun house filled with mirrors everywhere. Kakashi walked into the funhouse closely followed by Kiba when they heard some clattering and a "Fuck!" from Naruto.
"Foxy?" Kiba asked frantically and Kakashi put a finger to his lips.
"Mutt!" They heard in a harsh whisper.
Kakashi navigated his way through the maze with ease until he came face to face with Sasuke.
"Nice to see you in the flesh..."
"You as well."
"Where's Gaara and Neji?" Kiba asked.
"Dunno... Probably wrecking a ton of shit." Naruto answered.
"Let's get you two to safety at least." Kakashi suggested. And the four of them began heading out of the mirrored house and out a hidden exit.
"Can I ask what the hell is going on?!" Kiba asked having finally snapped.
"This fair is cursed. The night before the massacre one of our own with a small group overthrew us by surprise. All of us watched helplessly the next day bound to this place and watched men women and children be killed by the others. We were blamed for it obviously. And gradually the head honcho has been sucking the energy from our souls to keep himself and his minions alive and strong. However, they experience a thrill from killing college kids who don't know any better. They are like us, but privileged enough to be in charge. We can't fight them as ghosts because of their strength. However, as physical beings we have a chance. Especially with Juugo on our side." Sasuke explained with a smirk.
"Kay, so theirs a soul sucking murderer hunting us?" Naruto summed up with a blank face that Kiba mimicked.
"Yes." Sasuke and Kakashi said in unison.
"You guys will protect us dumb college kids who now know better right?"
Sasuke gave a comical look and Kakashi rose an eyebrow.
"We will do our best to get you out of here." Sasuke stated.
"We should sit tight... There's activity going on." Kakashi said hearing some rowdy noises.
The four of them sat concealed by darkness.
"So, Sasuke... What makes you a freak?" Naruto asked quietly.
Sasuke gave Naruto a blank look. "My eyes... My brother had them too. He fell I'll and died though which is when I ended up here. Hopped on the train and joined the family. The day of the massacre was going to be my last day. I was going to start at the university actually. Instead I got sucked into a nightmare." Sasuke finished with a sigh.
"Looks like you were destined for a nightmare either way... Mid-terms are the secondary foot of all evil only under finals." Naruto said blankly.
"Some of us wanted to go on to do great things with our lives. No matter how hard I had to work I wanted to be someone important." Sasuke finished.
"Quiet!" Kakashi stressed. They slinked back inside the house of mirrors and hid. As best as they could.
Naruto saw someone crawling on the ceiling and huddled closer to Sasuke and Kiba not daring to breath.
"That's Kidōmaru... The human spider. He will shoot you with an arrow and spin you up to let you rot." Sasuke whispered.
Naruto held back the urge not to cry. He was sweating heavily and tried not to squeal when Kidōmaru began to shoot webs in various corners climbing from one web to another. Kiba held his urge in not to just up and run.
"Oh Hello..." Kidōmaru said suddenly and a whooshing sound flew threw the air hitting Kakashi in the leg with an arrow. The older man groaned and Sasuke grabbed Kiba and Naruto and rushed them out the door missing the second arrow aimed at him.
"What about Kakashi?"
"He will be fine. Kidōmaru isn't interested in him." Sasuke said pushing the young men forward and ran out into the open area with them causing the attention of every freaks to be caught. Except for a few who appeared zombie like.
Sasuke just ran through the group and waved his hand urging them to keep coming. All the people had to touch them and Naruto and Kiba shifted uncomfortably pushing though the hoard when Kidōmaru made his reappearance. Kiba jumped when the red-headed girl with thick glasses grabbed his junk and they got through the people while Kidōmaru jumped from web to web gaining on them. Sasuke opened a jammed door and got the two of them inside when Kidōmaru sent another arrow flying and got it through the crack of the door, but missing the occupants inside the room.
"We will need a diversion." Sasuke said.
Gaara and Neji were army crawling around the fairgrounds looking for the two people who should've been easy to find-but were proving to be invisible.
"Maybe they got out?" Neji asked strained.
"Maybe they didn't." Gaara said seriously.
They were quietly checking every building and exploring anywhere to scaredy cats would hide.
They crept into a room Gaara had always found intriguing, but the pair of them froze when they heard a tune being played and tensed when it stopped.
"Kukuku, come out from your hiding place. I won't bite. Maybe." A voice came from around the corner.
Gaara inched his way out and saw a man wearing lose fitted robes and holding an instrument.
"What is your name young man?" The older man with long black hair and pale skin asked.
Gaara furrowed his eyebrows recognizing him slightly. "Gaara." He answered.
"Nice to meet you. Who is your friend still hiding?" He asked once more.
"Neji." Gaara replied again.
"Gaara. Neji." Feeling the names roll off his tongue. "I…am Orochimaru." He said with a smirk that grew into a smile and cackled loudly before coughing slightly.
