"Were is Kisame? You got your ring, now I want my brother."
It was the night after I had gotten the ring and I was ones again facing Orochimaru and Kabuto down at the docks. "You did well Sakura, here is your price." I watched as a man came walking whit Kisame in bonds towards me. I ran to him when he was loose and helped him stand.
"You ok?" I asked him worried as hell.
"Yeah, I'm alright." He answered me and attempted to smile.
"Now the next item will be a little more challenging for you." Orochimaru said and Kabuto again handed me an envelope.
"A necklace." He said and I knew almost instantly that he was talking about the necklace Tsunade had been wearing. "Fine and when I give it to you release one of them." I said supporting Kisame more and more by the minute. "Yes of coarse but there it one thing that I won´t allow."
I glared at him knowing that what ever he said I had to agree to. "What?" I spat. "Your brother can not help you whit your tasks." Kisame straightened out and was about to say something but I stopped him. "That´s fine whit me, but remember what I said last time, hurt any of them and you´ll regret it."
I then made Kisame turn around and supported him to the car I had taken instead of the bike. "Why did you agree to do that?" Kisame asked me when we were inside the car.
"He has the upper hand so I had to agree. It´s no problem, I've met her before." The ride was silent the rest of the way home.
When Kisame was finally in bed I just sat there looking at him, basking in the relief of not being alone anymore. I knew it wasn´t right of me to feel like this while Zetsu and Sasori were still captives, but I just couldn't control it.
Even if I was the youngest and the girl I wanted as much as them to protect what was precious to me, my brothers, so I tried to make life a little easier for them. Learning how to fight, and I mean really fight, so they wouldn´t have to worry if and when I got in to fights. I kept the house mostly clean and was a straight B student. I loved them more than anyone could imagine and I would die for them if it was what it took to have them home safe and sound.
Finally I crawled in to his bed and fell asleep clinging to his arm promising my self that when this was over I would never let anything happen to them again.
I woke up in cold sweat from a nightmare, looking around the room I panicked, Kisame wasn´t here. I ran around the upper floor looking for him and when I didn´t find him there I ran downstairs.
He was sitting in the kitchen doing something in Zetsus laptop. I didn´t stop running but ran straight in to him making us fall on the floor.
"Easy there Sakura." He said wrapping his arms around me. "I'm not going anywhere." I nodded in his chest and held him tighter as he raised us up. "I was so scared Kisame." I said pulling away looking him in the eyes. "I know. So was I." He answered.
I looked at the laptop and saw that he was researching Tsunade and had only come up whit the same stuff as I had. "Sakura, you know that deal?" I looked back at him and nodded. "Yes what about it?"
He stood up and grabbed a cup of coffee he was making. "I think I found a loophole. He said that your brother couldn´t help you but he never said anything about other members in the gang."
I shook my head remembering the first time I met Orochimaru. "No I can´t use their help, there is a rat in the gang and if we ask them for assistance he will know." Kisame frowned at me. "A rat, but who?" I shrugged. "I don´t know, there is no one I can think about from what you have told me about the guys and Deidara looked nice enough."
Kisame sat down again and I took his cup taking a sip. "Well at least I can help you research the woman." I just nodded and leaned back in a chair. "What did you have to get anyway to free me?" He asked.
"A ring that belonged to Jiraja, that man." I said pointing to a picture that he had been looking at on the laptop. He nodded and sat down again looking at the picture more closely while I leaned over his shoulder pointing at it.
"This." I said motioning to Tsunades neck on the picture. "Is the necklace, it´s a family heirloom of hers." Kisame nodded ones again and started to flip through pages he had found, mostly the same shit I had already found out but one article stood out.
It was almost exactly the same one that I had found about the scandal concerning the ones three companies but this one had a picture whit it. When I saw it I gasped. "He was the third co owner?" I asked and pointed to Orochimaru were he stood next to Jiraja on the picture.
Kisame only nodded while he read the thing through. "Yeah and he got kicked out of this business because he was doing human researches, mostly on drug addicts but also on homeless people and his employees."
I felt a shiver run down my spine at hearing that even if I had already read it my self.
"I'm making pancakes, want some?" I walked to the fridge looking in to it. "Yeah, thanks." Kisame said distracted.
The rest of the day was spent by the laptop looking for any clues as to how I was going to get that necklace from Tsunade, and finally I decided to just wing it, even if Kisame was strongly against it.
