*****Chapter 7: Loss and Gain Pt. 3*****
Several Days Later
Kea and Hinata reached the Hidden Leaf Village once again. Multiple days passed by and they didn't see a single sand nin anywhere. Kea was starting to get agitated.
"This is hopeless! Where the hell are those guys?!" Hinata tried to cool down the impatient boy.
"I'm sure their somewhere near now. We reached the village, most likely their close, if not right above us."
"Funny you should say that, kids." Kea looked at Hinata, as she did the same.
"Um…Hinata…did your voice just get…manly?"
"No…did yours just get deeper?"
"No…" The two then looked up to see two Suna nin looking down upon them.
"Well speak of the devil Hinata…you were right. Looks like we got a fight on our hands. Finally."
Hinata took a closer look at the two. Twins. With one having a large burn on his face.
"Are you the ninja who stole something important from the Kazekage?"
The burned nin laughed while the other one remained silent.
"So what if we are? What's a couple of kids like you gonna do?" Kea smiled.
"Well first, we're gonna knock your damn teeth out. Then we're gonna pulverize you to the ground. Then we're gonna break all your fuckin' bones so that you never walk again"
"…Kea-san…don't you think that's a little…extreme?"
"Meh. These assholes are asking for it"
The burned sand nin laughed again.
"You kids are sticking your noses where they don't belong. And it's gonna get you killed." Kea yawned.
"Yeah yeah. Says the dude who's about to have his teeth knocked out. But this is kinda boring. Just two of you. I can take the both of you no sweat." This time, the nin stayed silent for a while.
"…Wanna test that theory kid?" Kea smirked before tilting his head.
"I'm sorry, were u talking to me?" The boy looked over to his friend "You go ahead and report to the Hokage that this task is finished. I'll take care of these guys" Hinata hesitated.
"Kea-san…It's two against one…how will you…" Kea laughed.
"Trust me Hinata. I got this." The boy then punched his fist into his palm. "This'll be a piece of cake. Just wait and see." Hinata hesitated before she nodded and left the boy to fight on his own. The two Suna nin smiled at Kea.
"Didn't figure you for an idiot boy. Knowing your about to lose to us must really hurt your pride."
Kea laughed "Pride? Yeah right. I just fight without it. So…we gonna fight now or what?" The ninja laughed before pulling out a kunai.
"Sure kid. Your funeral."
Kea sighed before taking out a kunai and twirling it in his fingers. "So? Who's gonna make the first move?" Immediately after that, Kea appeared between the two nin "No don't tell me. I already know" With that, Kea kicked the burned nin in the center of his back, launching himself forward away from the two as the Suna rouge was sent the other way.
The other nin turned around before doing a few hand signs "Doton: Chikyū Retsu Tokimeki!"(Earth Column Crush) A second later, two giant columns of stone erupted from the earth below, each facing the other with a small amount of space between each other. Kea landed on one flat surface of one wall inside the small ravine the walls created. He widened his eyes before the two walls quickly moved toward each other before smashing into one another, presumably killing the nin in the process.
The burned nin flipped on the earth below for a second before he regained his balance. He growled before he also did a few hand signs. Even if Kea was dead, he didn't get a crack in, which pissed him off "Doton: Chikyū Supiasutōmu!"(Earth Spear Storm) The land around the Suna Rouge started to churn before it shot up in the form of multiple small balls of earth in the air. After a while, the balls launched forward, molding themselves into giant spears of rock. The spears went through the entire section of each wall, shredding them to pieces as if they were paper. Both Suna rogues stood on the ground below, staring at the shreds of earth before they both smiled "What do u think Doku is doing? Think he completed the mission?"
The other nin shrugged.
"Who knows? I bet he's still fucking around." Both ninja looked at each other before at the shreds of rock "Let's get goi-" Before he could finish, the ninja heard a shriek of pure agony. He looked back to see his teammate, with a fist through his back and out of his chest. The fist was on fire, given the fact that the blood that dripped from the burned nin seemed to melt when it came in contact with the fist.
"Damn it. I hate one-punchers" The unharmed nin widened his eyes as Kea pulled his fist from the burned nin's chest, killing him immediately as he fell to the ground. The living rogue looked at Kea, then the shredded wall.
"Nani?! But! How! How are you?! U should be dead!" Kea only sighed.
"Wrong. That attack just missed. If I were you, I'd work on my speed. You're really slow." The Suna rogue growled before jumping back. He did a few hand signs, ones Kea didn't even make an attempt to stop.
'I'm gonna kill him! I'm gonna kill this little shit!' The nin smirked as he finished his hand signs and thrust his hands into the ground. 'This next jutsu is my best one! It's sure to kill this little fucker!'
Kea was anxious to see what this guy was planning, not that he cared that much. This was pretty boring. 'I gotta get back home to Ikari and Kaa-san soon. This battle is more boring than I thought it would be' Just as Kea shook his head from his thoughts, the nin cackled.
"GET READY TO DIE YOU LITTLE FUCKER!" A large wall of earth appeared in front of the Suna nin, making Kea raise a brow "Doton: Chikyū Jigoku Sutanpīdo!" (Earth Hell Stampede) After that, the side of the wall facing Kea started to bubble up as if it was water. Kea crossed his arms
'This should be good…' After a few more seconds of bubbling, the Suna nin smiled like a maniac, not that Kea could see it. Then, the edge of the wall busted open. Kea widened his eyes when he saw the things coming out of the large wall. Everything, literally EVERYTHING that is considered an animal, insect, or other living creature of the land, other than a human, poured out into the field in the form of earth, charging at Kea. There were some animals he had never even seen before, like Rhinos, Bears, Jaguars. Hell, a lot of the stuff didn't even look like it was from the nations. Kea braced himself by covering his arms across his face. The stampede rushed at him, some of the animals passing him by, and others running into him. He tried to stay up, but eventually fell down into the stampede, seemingly getting trampled by the never ending rush of animals. The stampede seemed to be infinite. It lasted for about ten minutes, with Kami knows how many animals rushing out. Of course, after they got a certain amount of feet away, they turned back into earth, melting into mud. The Suna maniac stood up before walking around the wall and seeing just what he wanted to. Kea was facing down on the land, multiple marks of any type of creatures foot on his back. The nin bent down before chuckling.
"That's what u get for sticking your little fucking nose where it don't belong kid." Kea seemed to stir before the Suna nin grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. "First you embarrass us by kicking my teammate down, then u kill him. And after all that big talk about how u could handle us, you don't even have the strength to fight anymore" Kea remained silent before he looked down to the Suna nin. He started chuckling. Not maniacally, but like something was funny to him. The rogue raised a brow "What the hell are you laughing at?!" A second later, the nin felt a knee to the stomach, making him drop Kea as he stumbled back. The raven head sighed before looking at the Suna nin.
"Oh nothing, nothing. Just the fact that you're so stupid" Kea rushed forward before kicking the man in his stomach. Before he could double over in pain, Kea jumped over him and grabbed his head. "I didn't even feel that attack" Kea twisted his body in the air, twisting the Suna rogues neck along with himself. Kea landed behind the missing nin. There wasn't even a cry of pain. The nin was dead before he even hit the floor, which was a few seconds after that. He was laying on his stomach, but his head was pointing toward the sky. It was literally screwed on the wrong way. Kea sighed before wiping a bit of blood from a wound on his cheek .'Okay…no more trying to act tough when not necessary. That stampede hurt like a bitch!' He smiled before taking the bandages from both of the dead ninja. He figured they would be proof enough that the mission had been carried out. "Now I just gotta get to the Hokage mansion and meet up with Hinata-san." With that in mind, Kea took off toward the Hidden Leaf Village.
Hokage Mansion; Konoha
Hinata had just told Tsunade of Kea's current position on the mission. The blonde Kage sighed in annoyance.
"Even if he isn't from this land, he should still know the values of a good shinobi. Never abandon your friends." Hinata looked down at the floor.
"T-Tsunade-sama…w-well…technically, h-he asked me to leave. S-so, doesn't that mean t-that I a-abandoned him?" Tsunade smiled cheekily at the chunin in front of her.
"Of course not. There's a difference between abandoning your friends and doing a request." Hinata looked to the floor.
"But…what if h-he's hurt?" Tsunade raised a brow. Hinata quickly blushed as she realized what the Hokage was getting at "N-No! He's j-just a f-friend! I w-was just worried about h-his safety i-is all!"
Tsunade smiled at her before chuckling. "Sure you were." Hinata could feel the blood rushing up to her cheeks at an incredible pace. The feeling of warmth in her face. It was a feeling she knew all too well. It happened every time she saw Naruto. She quickly looked down to the floor, trying to hide her blush, though not really succeeding. Tsunade could see the girl's face turning redder and redder. She looked like a tomato at this point. Hinata had increased her skill of being a shinobi tenfold when she became a chunin, but it seemed her shy demeanor would never leave her. Hinata then raised her head toward the Hokage.
"Lady Tsunade, Is it okay if I go and look for Kea-san? I don't know if he could have handled those two nin." Before Tsunade gave the permission, the door opened, revealing who they were just talking about. Kea walked in the room looking like he had just been trampled, which unknown to Hinata and Tsunade, he had.
"Yo! Got em!" He placed the Suna rogues' bandages on the Hokage's desk. Hinata stared wide eyed at the dark skinned nin and the Hokage only raised a brow.
"Kea-san, what happened to you?" The Hokage said. Kea looked down at his clothes. It looked like he had been put through hell and back.
"Oh yeah. I got run over by a bunch of animals. Nothin' too big." Both female shinobi sweatdropped. Kea looked at them both before raising a brow "What? Somethin on my clothes?" Tsunade sighed.
"Blood maybe?" Kea chuckled before turning around.
"Yeah, yeah that too." Hinata looked at the ninja before walking up to him.
"Kea-san…you…need medical attention." Kea chuckled at her. Both women raised a brow "Kea-san? What's so funny?" Hinata really didn't see what was funny. Neither did Tsunade.
"Oh nothing. It's just a few cuts and scrapes. I'll be f-" Before he could finish, Hinata palmed his arm. It wasn't even a hard strike, and he jumped a few feet away, holding his arm in pain. "Ow! For Kami's sake that hurt!" He looked at the two women, knowing they had just proved their point "...Damn it…"
Hinata giggled before smiling at him. "It's alright. I'll attend to his wounds Tsunade-sama" Both Kea and Tsunade raised a brow. Tsunade spoke up first.
"You have medical training?" Kea raised a brow because he was wondering why she would volunteer to heal him instead of just taking him to the hospital. Hinata sighed.
"Unfortunately, no. But the Hyuuga do have some herbs that can help. What do u think Kea-san?" Hinata looked back at Kea, only to see air where he used to be. Tsunade chuckled. "Tsunade-sama, where did he go?" The blonde Kage couldn't help but laugh harder.
"Dunno. A little possessive are we Hinata?" The blue haired Hyuuga blushed again, harder than the last times.
"T-Tsunade-sama! I told you! H-he's just a f-friend!" The Hokage smiled at her.
"Hai. Hai. Okay. If you want to help him, u may want to find him first." Hinata nodded before bowing and leaving the Hokage to herself. Tsunade sighed.
"Ah. Such is young love. Just be careful Hinata. Sometimes the one you wanted this whole time might not be the one for you."
Hyuuga Estate
Hinata practically had to drag Kea into the Hyuuga Estate, though she had to sneak into her room. Kea was impressed. Even with a sixteen year-old boy in tow, she was able to sneak past everyone, including her father, Hiashi Hyuuga, and her little sister, Hanabi Hyuuga. Once she got to her room, she closed the door before locking it. Kea looked around the small room again, mostly at the ceiling, praying to Kami that it wouldn't cave in on itself again.
"Well, I'm here. You dragged me halfway across this village, snuck me past the people in this Estate, nearly killed me in the process…" Kea shuddered at the memory of hitting so many walls and poles, not to mention the ground, multiple times while he was being brought to the Estate. "Please don't tell me that you brought me here because there's something wrong with the ceiling." Hinata sighed before placing him on the bed.
"Nothing of the sort. I volunteered to help you, and I will." Hinata looked at Kea before a blush came over her face "Um…Kea-san…could you…remove your shirt?" Kea raised a brow.
"Why?" Hinata only pointed to his abdomen area. Kea looked down to see he was bleeding through his shirt. "Oh…that's why…sure." He smiled before removing his vest. After that, he removed his tank-top before setting both the clothes aside on her bed. Hinata blushed more at seeing his figure. Kea was toned, but not to the point where it looked like he was on steroids. Firm muscles, and lined up for a six pack. He looked like any other person who worked out on a regular basis, not overdoing it like weight junkies. He stood up before flexing. "Like what you see?" Hinata blushed even harder before looking away. Kea chuckled. "I'm just messin' with ya. But you act so shy. Haven't you seen that Naruto guy like this? Or more?" Hinata turned a deep shade of red.
"N-no…I…I'm still a virgin…" Kea raised a brow.
"Oh. Meh, nothin' wrong with that. Same here. I always wondered what it would be like to see a girl naked." It was safe to say that Hinata was sure every blood cell in her body was rushing to her face. Kea chuckled "Don't worry about it. We're teens. And believe me, there's nothing a guy wants more, than to get inside a girl's pants". Hinata looked toward the floor before going up to Kea.
"Kea-san…please just let me heal you…and stop talking about this…" Kea realized he had upset Hinata and quickly apologized.
"Er, right. Sorry." Kea sat back on the bed again as Hinata went over to a drawer in her room. She opened the cabinet to the drawer before pulling out a few herbs. She started mixing the multiple plants as Kea watched her, getting a little uncomfortable. Once she was done, she placed the herbs in a small bowl before walking back to Kea. She sat next to him on her bed before taking a bit of the powder before moving closer to him.
"I warn you Kea-san…this will sting. Just try to bear with it." Kea nodded before tensing up. Hinata looked at one of the small cuts on Kea's toned chest. She hesitated before applying the powder to his cuts. Kea didn't even move. Hinata looked up to him with a brow raised "Kea-san? Does it…hurt…?" A second later, Kea was rolling around the bed, holding his wound.
"AAAAAHAAAAAAGGH! HOT! HOT! BURNS! HOT! STINGS! HOT! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHH!" Hinata couldn't help but giggle at him. He looked like a little kid getting a shot. After a few minutes where he just wouldn't shut up, Hinata had no choice but to disable his limbs by using her Juken to paralyze him. Kea was now on his back on her bed, his torso completely exposed as he tried moving his body, not getting any good results. Hinata giggled before taking another pinch of the powdered herbs. "WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT! WE CAN WORK THIS OUT! WE CAN TRY SOMETHING ELSE! I'LL BE FINE WITHOUT THE HERBS!" Hinata sighed before spreading the powder on his chest again, this time everywhere. The dark skinned nin started making funny faces to express his pain as he tried not to shout out in pain again. Hinata started rubbing the powder around on his wounds. Kea slowly started to calm down as he felt the Hyuuga's smooth hands on his skin. Hinata had a concerned look on her face as she rubbed the powder on him, though it soon started to go away. She was too busy studying how Kea's chest felt. It wasn't to manly, yet still tone enough to show he liked to exercise. Atop that, this was the first time she had seen a person without their shirt on this close. She started blushing. Naruto would kiss her and all, but as shy as she was, she was still a little curious, and he wouldn't do anything further than kissing and rolling around with her. Maybe it was because they were just a new couple. She had urges too, and as much as she was shown to be shy, there were some things that she wanted to try out with Naruto. Kea eventually stopped screaming all together, just letting her heal him. Or, at least that's what he thought she was doing. Once he noticed she was just rubbing his abdomen when all of the herbs had been used, he looked up at her. "Hinata-san? U okay?" There was no reply. Instead, Hinata looked up to him. For a few seconds, nothing happened. Then she started climbing on top of him. Kea was starting to feel his limbs again, able to stretch at least, but by the time he gained full control, Hinata was above him, looking down on him. He blushed slightly as he noticed that she had removed her jacket, leaving in her white t-shirt and fishnet sleeves. "H-Hinata-san?" There was no reply for his question. Instead, Hinata started moving her face down toward him, her lips slightly puckered. Kea widened his eyes as he started freaking out. He had never kissed a girl, nor had he even been this close to one. 'Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shitty shit shit!' "H-Hinata-san?! What are you doing?! Why are u doing this?!" He finally got his will to move back again before using his arms to push her back. Hinata widened her eyes as she froze, realizing what she had just tried to do.
"K…Kea-san…" Kea only blinked at the girl above him. He swallowed a lump in his throat before he slid off the bed.
"I-I gotta get outta here. Sorry Hinata-san." With that, Kea jumped out of a nearby window in her room, getting out of the estate. For some reason, Hinata felt a little hurt. Like she just did something to a special friend that was unforgiveable.
"…Kea-san…"
Zandatsu Residence
Kea slowly opened the door to his home. He sighed as he slowly walked through the house. He just couldn't get through what Hinata tried to do. He had never kissed a girl before, and Hinata was literally an inch away from being his first. In all honesty, he was kinda upset.
"Kuso…if only she hadn't been dating that Naruto guy…but then…" Kea sighed as he remembered something. He looked down, seeing that his shirt and vest were gone "….Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!" he quickly walked forward before dropping the subject, deciding that he would get them later. "Imoto-chan! Kaa-san! I'm home. We got done with the mission so we can play now Imoto-chan." He smiled as he walked through the home. However, he got no answer from either of them. He raised a brow before walking to Ikari's room. He knocked on the door. "Imoto-chan? Ikari? I'm here. Don't u wanna play?" Still no reply. Kea looked back to the door leading to his mother's room. "…Something's not right…" Kea slowly pulled out a kunai before walking to Taia's room. He walked toward her room, gripping the kunai harder 'somethin is definitely wrong here…' When he got to the door, he noticed it was slightly opened. He leaned against the wooden door before opening. When he got inside, his eyes widened.
Taia was on the ground, a puddle of blood under her. She had multiple cuts and bruises around her body. Kea immediately dropped his Kunai before rushing to her side "K-Kaa-san! Kaa-san!" He started shaking her as he dropped to a knee. "Kaa-san! Taia! Wake up! Wake up damn it!" He widened his eyes when he finally noticed that she wasn't even stirring. "Kaa-san…no…how did…" He stepped back, away from the corpse "How…did this happen…?" After a few seconds, Kea heard crying.
The raven head looked around the room before stopping at the bed. He looked under it, only to see someone else he was looking for "Imoto!" He quickly reached out for Ikari, but the girl wouldn't budge. Eventually, he climbed under the bed before helping her get out. He widened his eyes again when he saw she was also bleeding, and that she had a kunai in her leg. It was deep. She was so little. If he had to guess, Kea would have said the kunai was about halfway through her leg. She cried into his chest as he held her like a groom would his bride.
"Nii-san…it hurts…i…it hurts…" Ikari looked up at Kea "Please…Nii-san…make it stop…make the…hurt stop…" Kea had tears in his eyes before he held his sister close.
"Don't worry Imoto-chan…I'm gonna make it better…" Kea went back into the living room before placing his sister on the couch. He looked at the kunai deep in her leg. "Okay Imoto, I need you to be strong. I'm gonna help, but I need you to be strong." The little girl nodded as Kea picked his sister up and placed her on his lap. He then grabbed a hold of the kunai with one hand, and her leg where it stuck inside with the other. "Alright Imoto. One. Two. Three!" With that, Kea started to pull the kunai out. Ikari quickly wrapped her arms around Kea, holding onto him as she screamed out in pain. Kea was making process. Very slow process. Once he saw signs that the kunai was coming out, he smiled. His free hand on her leg moved up to the area where the knife was coming out. Ikari cried into her brother's chest as she felt the kunai being pulled out of her leg. "Almost there. Almost…" Kea gave one final harsh tug before the Kunai was completely out of her leg. "Got it Imoto!" He used the hand without the Kunai knife to start applying fire chakra to her wound, potentially sealing it together from the heat. He then picked her up like a bride again before walking out to the door. Once he got to it, Ikari leaned closer to him.
"Please…Nii-san…don't…leave out…" Kea looked down at his sister. Taia was gone, and Ikari was wounded. And he knew for a fact that these weren't self-made injuries.
"Ikari…what happened here? Who did this?" The little girl kept crying.
"It…was…a…ninja…from…Suna…he…needed a place…to stay. So…mommy...let him…stay…but…later on...mommy saw him…with a few scrolls…of some kind…and…he…he hurt mommy…he hurt her a lot…" She looked up to her brother, hoping that he would never leave. "Then…when he…saw me…he…took a big knife…and…stuck it…inside me…" Ikari moved her hair out of the way, showing blood trailing down the side of her face. Kea widened his eyes again. How the hell did he miss that? "That…bad man…hit me…in the head…so hard…and…I fell asleep…when I…woke up…mommy wasn't moving…" Kea walked toward the door before leaving the house.
As he walked down the street, he walked straight in the direction of the hospital. Everyone looked at the raven head passing by with his sister. He had a look on his face that said 'Don't fucking mess with me'. Ikari stopped crying, lying peacefully in her brothers arms. She looked up to the still shirtless boy as he smiled down at her. "We're almost to the hospital Imoto-chan. Just hang on for a few more minutes okay?" Ikari nodded, soon falling asleep in her brother's grasp. When she was no longer awake, Kea's determined look appeared again. When he fought those two Suna rogues in the forest, he thought that was it. He didn't imagine that another was living in his own house. He tensed up as he remembered Taia's lifeless body. His mother, the woman who took him in when he had nowhere else to go, was now a lifeless corpse. And to make matters worse, he was sure Ikari was traumatized at seeing her mother like that.
Once he entered the hospital, he requested immediate help from a certain pink haired Kunoichi. He couldn't help but notice her eyes were the same color as his. Jade, though his was a little darker. Once escorted to a room, Kea was told that he had to remain outside while they did a series of tests on his little sister. He nodded before exiting her room, sitting on a nearby bench as he stared at the ground.
'How did this happen?' he thought to himself as he stared at his hands. They were a light red hue from the blood on his sister's leg. After a while, someone sat next to him. He looked to his side to see Hinata sitting on the bench with him. She handed him his vest and shirt.
"G-gomennasai…you…forgot these…" Kea smiled weakly at her before taking the clothes. He put on the tank-top, but kept his vest off. Hinata looked at him "What are you doing here? Are you hurt?" Kea only shook his head. Hinata asked another question. "Are you here to visit someone?" Kea nodded.
"Actually…I brought that someone here…my sister…Ikari…" Hinata gasped.
"K-Kea-san…Is she…okay?" Kea didn't know how to answer. He only shrugged.
"I-I…hope so…Hinata-san…" He looked at her "But, why are you here?"
Hinata smiled weakly at him "I wanted to return your clothes. I saw you on the streets, but you looked…upset. So I waited until I thought you cooled down. And I suppose you have, Hai?"
Kea slightly nodded before he clenched his fists. "…There…was a third…there was a third Suna rogue…he was with them…he…Kaa-san is…" Hinata placed a hand over her mouth as she widened her eyes. Kea stood up "There was a third ninja. I'm gonna find him." He clenched his hands tighter, his gloves rubbing against his fists. "Watch after my sister Hinata. I'll be back in a few hours." With pure determination in his mind, he left the hospital, heading for the outside of Konoha. He looked at the necklace around his neck '…Family…' he gripped the yin yang, feeling it leave an imprint in his hand. '…No one…fucks with my family.' With that, Kea removed his hand from the necklace before walking down the road, looking for a single Suna rogue to kill.
