..::Chapter 4: My choice::..
A small light swung barely revealing the small table in the secluded room. Fierce glares were exchanged over the table and seriousness settled on their faces. Not one hint of weakness showed between the contestants. It was a battle of wits.
"Full house!!" Kakashi slammed five cards on the table with a victorious grin. Sighs and groans were heard from the other players.
"Shit! He beat us again!" Kiba revealed a defeated expression smacking his cards down.
"Damn." Sasuke leaned back in his chair with his usual cigarette in the corner of his mouth.
"You guys really do suck at Poker." Kakashi teased.
"Shikamaru could have beaten you easy!" Kiba fought back.
"That's because he can count cards." Sasuke added.
"Where is Shikamaru anyways, and Kankuro? Them and Temari are usually apart of our Poker games." Ino finally spoke up.
"Yeah, that's a good question." Kiba agreed now noticing the three empty seats at the table.
As if on que the doors to the dark hazy room flew open and a panting Shikamaru came rushing in.
"We can't find Temari...anywhere, she isn't anywhere in the building or at her place. Kankuro is out looking for her now. We need help."
Everyone sitting around the table stopped and stared at Shikamaru's worried face. It was never a good think for a member of a gang to go missing, especially when it was duck and nightfall was coming in a city full of dangerous people and worse, other gangs. Being alone at night is just asking for something bad to happen. Once this news was out everyone immediatly got up and rushed outside. They had to find Temari soon or somethin was going to happen if it didnt already.
"Kankuro, we heard about Temari! What should we do?" Ino asked seeing Kankuro rejoining the group.
"Damn, this is never good at all, especially at a time like this." Kiba spoke running a hand through his hair.
"I say we break up into groups. There are seven of us, so lets break up into three groups. We will cover more ground that way." Kakashi ordered "Kiba and Sasuke can be one group. Kankuro, Shino, and Ino can be another and me and Shikamaru will be in the last one." He acted quickly. After everyone was assigned their groups, they split up into different directions.
It was becoming colder as time passed. Clouds moving in closer together showing signs of an oncoming storm. Shikamaru was becoming impatient after only ten minutes of searching, where the hell was that girl? Him and Temari have been together for a full two years. He was not willing to let anything happen to her now.
"Don't worry Shikamaru, we'll find her. She's a tough girl, she can take care of herself." Kakashi reassured him. Shikamaru only nodded to his leader and continued down the sidewalk on the east border of their territory.
Kankuro and his group wasn't having much luck either. They searched everywhere for her and wasn't finding any clue leading to where she might be. Ever since Gaara's betrayal many years ago, Kankuro has held onto his sister and did everything for her. There was no way he would lose the only family he had left.
"Damnit! where is she?" He cursed under his breath.
"Kankuro! We found something!" Ino called out from one of the allys. Kankuro quickly turned her direction in some mix of anticipation and fear.
Both Kankuro and Shino turned around to see Ino come rushing to them holding what appears to be Temari's cell phone in her hand. "It's her cell." Was all the girl could say. She handed it to Kankuro so he could examine it. He stared at the phone for a few seconds and looked back up, his dark eyes moved over every detail in front of him, his mind racing.
"She's still here." He anxiously pushed passed Shino and Ino and stepped further into the ally, hoping to find his sister, alive.
He frantically searched the walls of the narrow space, knocking over anything in his way. The further he went the darker it became, effectively weakening his sight. He called out for Temari repeatedly, but there was no responce. Kankuro's hope began to diminish. Until Shino uncovered what seemed to be a figure, out from a couple of broken boards.
"That's her!!" Kankuro proclaimed and shoved Shino out of the way to get to her.
After successfully uncovering her, he tried to shake her awake.
"She's just unconscious We need to take her back to.." Ino was cut off.
"Kyuubi did this to her!" Kankuro interrupted standing to his feet. "I swear I'll kill them for touching my sister!"
"You should wait until she wakes up before swearing such a thing." Ino's voice was uncertain trying not to piss him of more.
"But I know it was them! Who else would want to hurt her?!" He hissed back and carefully placed Temari on his back. "Tell the others we found her. I'm going to take her somewhere safe." Shino did as he was told, calling the rest of the gang and announcing the findings of Temari. The clouds overhead now staining the sky a dark grey.
Temari was spread across a small bed still unresponsive to all around her. Shikamaru was seated beside her and held her hand to his forehead, glad that she is safe. In the back of the room, Sasuke leaned against the wall, eyes closed. Kankuro paced throughout the room seeming to get more irritated with every step he took.
His mind was racing, he knew for a fact that it was the Kyuubi that did this to her. Whats worse is the question of what they could have done to his sister. Oh, how he couldn't wait to get his hands on whoever hurt her. Kankuro's fingertips tingled with the anticipation of what he could do. It's been a half hour since they brought Temari back, and he couldn't wait any longer.
"Sasuke!" Kankuro's sharp voice broke the silence of the room. Sasuke just slowly opened his black eyes as acknowledgment.
"Come with me." Both boys exited the room to find a more secluded area.
"We need to get revenge! I will not just let them do this to my sister!" Kankuro yelled at Sasuke.
"And what do you plan on doing?"
"I don't care what we do! The ones that did this deserve to be beaten to a bloody pulp!" They stared silently at each other in a familiar annoyance.
"Why don't you just ask Kakashi, he is the leader." Sasuke spoke still unfazed until he was unexpectedly grabbed by the collar of his shirt and shoved against the nearby wall. The raven's face still held his unconcerning scowl.
"You know he is against this kind of thing!" Kankuro growled close to the raven's face. "You have to help! I can't do this on my own."
"Let go of me." Sasuke deadpanned and gripped the offenders wrist with strength and calmly moved the paralyzed hand away.
"Don't you want to be a good leader? Well, good leaders don't just let their comrades get hurt." He began to taunt him. Sasuke sighed in slight defeat.
"Just shutup already. Go find Shino, I'll get Kiba." Sasuke pushed Kankuro away and started to leave to get Kiba.
"We are leaving tonight."
After finally getting the other two to comply, the four guys began walking in the cover of the darkness through the alleyways memorized by both Kyuubi and Sharingan. No one was completely confident. Out of all of them, Kiba seemed the most uneasy. He knew from the start that this wasn't gonna end well.
"So how exactly are we gonna do this?" Shino asked.
"I don't know, ask the genius who pinned me to a wall to get me to agree to this."
Cracking his knuckles, Kankuro replied with a smug grin plastered on his face. "I just figured we go in and kick some ass." His statement didn't seem to make anyone feel better. He never fooled around, and this time was no exception, which made the situation even more tense.
"What the hell kind of an idea is that?!" Kiba screamed. "Why didn't we just take Shikamaru with us. He could have made a better plan than any of us!"
"Because his isn't a fool. He knows this is suicide, and he would never agree to this anyways." Shino spoke like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Besides, he wouldn't leave Temari's side when she is in this condition. Which is where her brother should be."
"Shut it! I'm ensuring that this never happens again!"
"The only thing you're ensuring is our death." Shino and Kankuro just glared at each other standing side by side.
"So, Kankuro, since you seem to know what exactly what we are gonna do. Then could you tell us..." There was a pause before Shino finished. "...Where the hell are we gonna find the damn Kyuubi gang?"
Kankuro sighed. "Just follow me, I know where I'm going."
Exiting one of the alleyways and continuing their search on the non-busy street, anxiousness kept building inside Kiba. He didn't really wanna do this, it didn't seem right. Plus all the arguing wasn't making him feel any better.
"Sasuke."
"What?" The raven turned around in time to be dragged back away from the other two.
"This doesn't feel right. I don't think this is a good idea." Worry and confusion obviousy lining his voice.
"C'mon Kiba, I'm not gonna let us get into a too bad of a situation. The only reason why i came was to keep Kankuro off my back." Sasuke explained.
"I just really don't wanna do this."
"Let's just get this done and over with. The sooner we have Kankuro shut up about this, the faster we get back to our normal lives, okay?" Kiba sighed looking down at the cement below him.
"..Fine, but lets hurry up with this okay?" Kiba finally complied. Sasuke smiled but it soon faded as he heard Kankuro's voice.
"Hey! Are you two little girls coming or not?!" He was seriously getting impatient.
"Yes we're coming, quit complaining." Sasuke put his hands in his pockets and turned around to continue with the other two.
Twenty minutes had passed since then. Things were becoming even more heated between the boys. Shino was the first to stop Kankuro so they could get some things straight.
"Do you even know where we are?"
"Of course I do. We just take a left over here and..." Kankuro paused to look around. Sasuke sighed. this was becoming pointless.
"This is useless, we have no idea where to find them, lets just go home."
"I agree with Sasuke." Kiba eagerly chimed in, still trying desperately to avoid the situation.
"Cowards!" Kankuro spat.
"We aren't cowards, we're being smart."
"Damn it you're pissing me off with your cool guy act Shino." Shaking with anger, he clenched his fist, ready to strike at any moment.
"Leave it to that dumbass to start a fight in the middle of the street for idiotic reasons." Sasuke sighed to himself.
But suddenly, a noise nearby around the corner caught everyone's attention. The arguing subsided and they all froze, shifting their eyes towards the faint voice. They all moved quickly and silently against the opposite building, backs against the wall. Since they were out in the middle of the night in enemy territory they stayed in an uneasy silence, listening for any clues to who it or they were. Even the slightest movement or sound could seal their fate if it was an entire gang.
'If that idiot got us caught i swear...' Sasuke thought peering around the corner, yet seeing no one yet. ' Wait a minute, why does it sound like the guy is reading from a...is he reading from a grocery list??' "Umm...I don't think it's a big deal. I mean it's probably a civilian." Kiba chuckled timidly for being so worried about nothing.
"I say we check it out anyway." Kankuro stated.
"What, you've taken an interest in attacking defenseless people now?" Questioned Shino.
"I'm gonna tear your fucking head off so i wont have to hear your voice ever again Bug Bastard!"
"Ooo, that's so original." Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"Can we go home now guys?" Kiba pleaded.
"No one is leaving until I say so!" Kankuro spat advancing closer to where the unfamiliar voice came from.
"Stubborn as always."
Kankuro had already been moving towards the street. When he looked around the second corner he spotted a man with the scar across his nose.
"Hey, come here guys, this guy looks familiar." The others proceeded. Shino and Sasuke recognized him instantly.
"That is the most recent leader from the Kyuubi gang. He replaced the old leader after his death a few years ago." Sasuke cringed as he knew what Shino was speaking of.
Shino continued with his speech, whispering. "His name is Iruka Umino. From what I've seen he is the most caring leader they have had. Unfortunately he isn't the best fighter so that's the reason the gangs reputation fell. If you guys did your research like Kakashi assigned you would know all this."
"So basically your saying he's a pussy and if we destroy him, his gang would fall into mourning?" Kankuro grinned sadistically.
"Theoretically, yes." Shino bluntly stated.
"You know its against our gang's principals to assassinate in secrecy like this! If we kill, we kill fair!" Kiba harshly stated quietly enough so he wouldn't be heard by Iruka.
"They were the ones that hurt my sister!"
"We don't know that for sure! We cant just kill someone like this for false accusations!" Kiba pleaded.
"He has a point. Rules cant be changed unless Kakashi is here. So if you do this your punishment could be severe." Shino began.
"But since Kakashi isn't here to change the rules, technically Sasuke, being the future leader, could change the rule in a situation of great importance." Kankuro finished for him, an evil sneer plastered on his face as his eyes stalked Iruka.
"Wh..what?" Sasuke seemed surprised. He didn't even want to get involved in this conversation, but now he would have to make the final decision. He wasn't expecting this at all.
"No! Don't put your responsibility on Sasuke! He isn't the leader!" Kiba was getting pissed.
"But he is the future leader! So that means he is responsible and to be a good leader he would know this chance doesn't come very often."
"To be a good leader you don't break the rules!" Kiba clenched his fist tight.
"You're too weak! When is comes to revenge it doesn't matter! Did you forget that my sister is unconscious because of them!"
"How many times do I have to say, you don't have any proof of that!"
"Who the fuck else would!?" The heated battle between the boys continued. Kiba glanced over at Sasuke refocusing his attention on him.
"Sasuke..If you give him permission you will regret it, trust me. Please.." He begged. The raven had no idea what to do.
"We don't have time for this, he's going to get away!" No one payed the slightest attention to him. "Fine! I'll kill him myself!"
"No! Damnit stop him!" Sasuke ordered, but it was too late. Kankuro had already begun charging after his new found victim.
Iruka had noticed something in the corner of his eye, running right for him. He turned to look, but it was too late, he had no time to get away. Kankuro grabbed a hold of him and shoved him into a brick wall, just as the others stopped by his side. The boys circled around the Kyuubi leader starring at his shocked and confused expression.
"There, now either way, we hurt him and already broke the rule. It's up to Sasuke if we finish the job."
"What the hell is going on!?" Iruka's eyes shone the hint of fear and bewilderment as he struggled to free himself.
"Damnit Kankuro! Sasuke don't! Shino say something!" Kiba desperately shouted.
"I'm not getting involved in this." A quiet response was all that was heard.
"Sasuke, if you say yes, you will be known as a better leader for the future. And now, punishment isn't an option, we get it either way." An evil sneer layed across his face.
Sasuke couldn't believe this was actually happening. He kept his calm steady look on the outside, but on the inside, he was frantically searching his mind for an answer. Kiba and Kankuro weren't helping that much either with their demanding.
'Shutup." Shino's voice was powerful enough to catch everyone's attention.
"This is his choice. So what is your answer Sasuke?"
