Chapter ?
Pein gasped as he ran through the hallway. Thankfully Madara had allowed him time to grab his backpack, along with whatever else he needed to keep up appearances. Unfortunately for him, his time was running out and a tingling sensation was spreading through him. As he was staring at the ground, a habit from years of being told not to look up, he managed to glimpse a pair of new, black sneakers before running straight into the owner of them.
"Hnngh..." Pein groaned, a hand pressed to his head, his ass hurting from landing on the floor. He made to stand when a hand was reached out to him, painted nails contrasting the shockingly white skin. He followed the arm up to the mans face and what he saw was slightly frightening to him.
Orochimaru stood there, leering at him, a sick grin forming over his face.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" He asked, still waiting for Pein to grasp his outstretched arm.
Pein didn't, opting to stand on his own. He winced as he pushed himself up, avoiding the menacing glare of the snake before him.
"I'm sorry, I really must be going.." Pein murmured, rushing past the man.
"Hold it." The hand that had previously sought to help him attached onto his upper arm, with a surprisingly strong grip. The man brought Pein back in front of him to face him, and studied him carefully. "...what gang are you in, kid."
"What?"
"What gang?"
"..."
"Answer me, bitch!"
"I don't-"
"Everyone here is a part of a gang...would you like to join Sound?" Orochimaru's tongue traced Pein's jaw, and although he was used to such vulgar treatment, he immediately leaned back to avoid the wet muscle.
At that exact moment, another voice called down the hall, Pein freezing in place.
"I wondered what was taking you so long." Madara's velvet tones were hiding anger as he came to a stop before the two. "Unhand my servant, Orochimaru."
"Or what?" Orochimaru seemed to dislike being threatened, and instead of obeying Madara, he drew Pein closer to him. "What are you gonna do to me, Uchiha? We're mortals to them, do you think a fight would be wise?"
"...release him now, or I won't care if the humans see me tear you apart, limb from limb." Madara was eerily calm, a cold fury obvious in his eyes.
Orochimaru snarled, and reluctantly did so, his snake-like pupils widening in rage. He glanced once again at Pein, and noting the ringed, silver eyes he hissed and skittered backwards.
"Do you know what you're meddling with, Madara?!" he growled angrily, Pein looking to both of them in confusion.
"I do, and I'd rather you not speak of it to him." Madara retorted, turning around to leave. "Come, Pein."
The ginger immediately turned to follow, reluctantly trailing along at Madara's heels. "..."
"I hope you know what you're doing, Uchiha. If he were to figure out where his son was-"
"I'm aware of this. Don't worry yourself, I can handle it." Madara called back, exiting the school without a backwards glance.
Pein quite obviously followed, however reluctantly it seemed. He managed to wave goodbye to Sasuke and Sakura, both of whom were gawking at the limo he was climbing into, and shut the door.
"...Madara-sama?"
"Hn." Madara seemed to be trying to ignore Pein, lost in thought.
"...may I ask you something?"
"Hn." Pein took that as a yes, and continued to talk.
"What were you guys talking about...?"
Madara heaved a sigh and turned to face Pein, obviously preparing himself for a long story.
"Well..."
A/N: MWAHAHA CLIFFY! Lolol so will Madara tell Pein who he really is, or twist the tale slightly?
Heehee
