Anger
"What...!?"
I was crying... a lot. Why are tears coming out of me? I ran somewhere in the alley so people won't see me and started letting the tears out. Not now... I can't cry right now. A hand touched my shoulder which I flinch from.
"Ruto...it's me, Kit."
"Kit?" I whispered uncertainly.
"Are you alright, Nii-san?" she cooed.
"I...don't know. I'm-I'm getting angry at someone... a-at something" I babbled.
Then, I saw a pale hand giving something to us.
-It'll be good for usssss if you children take this.
I...feel funny.
Nii-san?
Noooooooooooooooooooo
Stop! Ahhhhhhhh!
Good...good...-
"Ruto...shhhhhh," Kit shushed softly.
"W-what was that? Am I crying because of that?"
I was feeling scared. Memories are replacing with where I am. I-I did something...cruel again. That's why he's crying.
"Ruto-nii-san... don't cry. Your little sister is her to be with you."
I looked into Kit's golden yellow eyes with my tearful ones.
"Kit...do you hate me?" I asked fearfully.
Her eyes became soft with amusement and her lips laughing.
"No...not at all because Nii-san is trying his best for me." she said, hugging me warmly.
"I love you, Nii-san."
U*U*U
"Ai, it's unbecoming to have a pouting face," Nine said.
"Nine, it's also unbecoming to have a angry face," I said back.
We were at Sweet School ready to go inside for Parent's Day. Hime-san was the most excited, asking me about how I was doing. But Nine and me were not happy at all.
"Ai, make sure nothing makes Hime-sama cry or else..." he warned.
"Nine, make sure nothing happen to Hime-san," I said back.
We went in Dango class. There were a lot of parents talking and I could see Erika-sensei coming over to us.
"Welcome to Dango classroom. It's nice to meet you, Uzumaki-san. I am Erika-sensei," Erika-sensei greeted.
Nine smiled charmingly at Erika-sensei. "It's nice to meet a pretty sensei like you, Erika-san."
I left Nine to Erika-sensei, who was blushing, with Hime-san. I don't know why a lot ladies like Nine after meeting him. I showed Hime-san where I do my work and what I do.
"oyyygaaaaa?"
"Erika-sensei said that I'm really smart for my age because I do a really good job."
Hime-san patted my head and said she was proud for me. I was happy that she was proud of me. I want to make her continue to be proud of me. I went outside with her to show her the tree I climb.
"Mite, mite, it's the ghost!"
The one who said that was Watanabe Satoshi. A big boy who always get in trouble because he likes to steal things from others. When Hime-san came here for the first time, Watanabe was the first one to make fun of her and then other started to follow him.
"Go away, Watanabe. Hime-san isn't a ghost!" I yelled, shielding her behind me.
He had an annoying smile.
"Yeah, she is. Look at her! That white hair has to be apart of a ghost. It's not normal," he laughed.
"Owww!" Hime-san yelled.
Someone was behind her and pulled on her hair. It was Tsuchii. He was always with Watanabe. I don't like him the most because not like Watanabe, he like to hurt others. Tsuchii was tugging on her hair hard which makes Hime-san's face to be in pain.
"Hey! Stop that!"
"I wonder if I pulled hard, this ghost will disappear," he said.
"Try it," Watanabe said.
I tried to stop him but Watanabe' stupid body was on me suddenly. I looked for anyone that would help but because we're outside, no one was here.
U~U~U
"Ai-kun is an exceptionally talented student. You must be proud of him," Erika-san said.
"Yes, I am," I agreed.
I wouldn't say I am proud of Ai, just please that he is doing well. Hime-sama would be proud of what Ai is able to do in his own way.
"How old is your daughter, Uzumaki-san?"
"She is 4 year old."
Erika-san clapped her hand together. "The same age as Ai-kun! Does she go to preschool already?"
"No, Hime-sama is homeschooled."
Her face looked disappointed. "Doesn't she go out to be with other children, Uzumaki-san."
"Other children." Hime-sama has never allowed herself to be with other children except Ai-kun. The only time I have ever seen her be with them was during the time I desired for her to learned just like any other children. In just three days, it ended in disaster.
"She does on her own will."
"Owwwww"
I heard a noise from outside and knew instantly that she was in pain. I left Erika-san, ignoring her to go to Hime-sama.
"Eh!? Uzumaki-san, what's wrong?"
I went outside to see two boys, one on top of Ai and the other pulling Hime-sama's hair. I noticed that Ai was fighting to get the boy off him, but the only thing I was seeing and paying attention to was blood trickling on her neck.
"Tsuchii-kun!" the sensei yelled.
The boy fell backward toward the ground, his cheek swollen from my hit. I glared at the fat boy to get of Ai. He jumped off Ai as fast as a scared man. I went and touched Hime-sama's neck. The blood was coming from her hair. The scalp was nearly coming off.
U*U*U
Tsuchii started crying and Watanabe ran off inside, probably to somewhere safe. Erika-sensei was trying to calm Tsuchii down. I went to Nine and saw his face looking like he want to hurt someone. I felt scared. Nine never looked this angry before. I wanted to say something.
"Ni-"
"Ai"
I was surprise at his voice. It sound empty like a machine.
"Y-yes.."
"Is it them who hurt Hime-sama first and why?"
I watched as Nine moved Hime-san's hands away from her hair and then carried her. I felt ashamed that I couldn't do anything to help Hime-san. I can't say that it's her fault for wanting to go. I couldn't protect her good enough.
"Yeah, it was those two and others also. They called her a ghost and a monster."
Nine stand still for a little bit before going to Erika-sensei. Other parents were coming out to see what was happening. Tsuchii-s dad came out.
U~U~U
"...and so we will be leaving earlier than usual, Erika-san," I said, leaving a small smile.
"U-um yes," she flustered.
As I turned to leave, I was stopped by someone. It was a tan man with black moustache. I could see that he was a relative of the brat despite their different complexion. I looked down on Hime-sama. The bleeding hasn't closed. I was worry about her condition. I'll have to deal with this quickly.
"Are you the one who did this to my boy?" asked the man.
"Yes, I am and I will not take responsibility as he deserved it."
The man became livid. "I don't think so. I think this is child abuse from you! You hurt him on purpose."
"U-um, Shigeno-san, please calm down," the sensei said.
"Think what you must, but I will be going now," I said coldly, "Ai, come."
"I bet a person like you do this to other children, especially that monster in your arms. I mean look at the way she look. That's not normal"
"Shigeno-san!"
I froze at his words. A sound started inside of me. It was a sound that only I could hear it and feel it. .
Whhirrrllll. Clank. Clank. Clang.
I turned to look at this Shigeno in the face. His face turned pale like his brat. I would have taken a step closer but Hime-sama stopped me.
"Niinnee, feeeeeevv" she said.
It's alright. I forgive you. After saying that, her eyes closed slowly and she fell asleep. I need to call Kyuubi-sama. I gave the man and the brat one last look before going. I ignored everything else and focused on getting everything back in order, for Ai, for HIme-sama, and for me.
U*U*U
I sighed, wiping blood away from my hands and face. The faces of my traitorous clans will haunt me for awhile now. I looked at Ruko. Her face was stone cold with anger unlike last time I saw the way she act when I read that card. She ignored everything the moment she enter the room to start torturing them.
"Kaho, I'll let you take care of the rest."
"Of course, Sasuke-sama."
My next step will be to rebuild the Uchiha clan inside out so that loyalty will stand by me. I'll need to use whatever I can. I thought of Ruko. Something about her bother me. I have known her for three years yet everything surrounding her is a mystery. I know nothing about where she came from, who she is, or why she came to the Uchiha clan. As I prepare to wash the blood off, I found my starting point to rebuild the clan.
U~U~U
-Lemon-Scene-Start-
A giggle escape from Nina as I set my fingers into her opening, teasing it. I could feel her slender fingers caressing my shoulder blade. Her breath hitched the moment I hit the pleasure point. I slid my fingers in deeper, hitting the pleasure.
"Ahnnnnn," she cried.
Her fingers that were just caressing me are now holding on to my neck. I looked at Nina's face to see her kissable, lush lips moaning for me to complete her, her green eyes bright with lust for me.
"Are you ready," I asked huskily, giving one more tease.
"P-please, Crow."
I smirked as I withdrew my fingers and ready ourselves for the final stages. I went between her legs and set my face near her. My cock just barely penetrating her vagaina.
"Say it, Nina. Say it one more time," I persuaded her with a lick on her neck.
"I-I want you- I pushed a little deeper - ah! inside me!"
I conceded to her demand and entering her. I felt her kisses and moan on my skins, her warmth inside and outside filling me. I used my left hand to stroke her back firmly, letting me to go deeper inside the wet cavern.
"Nina..."
"More! Ahhh!"
"Are you sure?"
Her hands tightened around my neck.
"Yes..."
So I continue licking, playing, and thrusting with her body as she kiss, hold, and caress with my body.
-Lemon-Scene-End-
W*W*W
"How come you called me?"
I glanced at Nina before turning back to put on my clothes.
"I found out today that my usual was busy so I had to called someone else," I explained.
Soft, slender arms wrapped themselves around. Nina-s breast were press against my back, still bare from any sort of clothing.
"It's too bad I'm not your usual."
I turned my head to kiss her on the lips.
"But you're still beautiful with a body like that," I said after we part.
"You teaser," she giggled.
I was done with putting on my clothes. I was about to go out of the bedroom door when Nina's voice stopped me.
"When you call for me again, I hope it'll be on the first of Christmas."
I gave a final smirk. "We'll see. See you."
"See you, Crow."
W~W~W
I looked at the sky to see that night was almost coming. Today was such a good day. After leaving Obito to suffer, checking out of Feal and finding out Miki-chan was out, I went around the bar to bet and drink, then to the bookstore to see if there are any new series going on. After that I went somewhere to eat on the go so that I could reach Nina's.
"I'll be okay now."
I paused from walking.
"I'll see you later."
Curious about who might be in an alleyway, I waited for the person to come out. Of course, it'll be stupid if I waited conspicuously, thus I smoothly set myself with the surrounding. Luckily, there were still people around so it was simple for me to pretend to be interested in something else while distracted.
A blond-haired boy appeared out of the alley. Oh...it was the same boy I saw on my way from Miki-chan's. His face became disgusted with something all of a sudden. It surprised me that he looked directly at my direction and we made eye contacts. I noticed that his eyes were puffy. After a few seconds, the kid turned and walked away after a few seconds.
That was weird. I wonder who he was talking to and why here?
U*U*U
"I didn't expect you to arrive so soon."
"I was in the neighborhood, doing a favor for Shukaku."
I looked around Yume's apartment. Nothing seem out of place and the room looks comfortable enough for the kids. I'm please to know that Nine kept this place in order. Speaking of him, his eyes were red.
"Where's Yume?" I asked.
"Hime-sama is in her room resting."
I nodded. "Calm down, Nine. Yume won't die so don't do anything rash or I'll have disable you."
His eyes changed back to blue. Nine's now stable enough to be left unattended. I went to Yume's room to see her wound. When I entered, Yume was laying on a towel that covered a pillow underneath it. I frowned deeply at the blood that marred the towel. Her eyes opened when I set my hand on her forehead.
"Kyuuubb..." she said softly.
"I'm back," I replied.
"teeeema"
I went to work to see if she was okay.
"Shukaku needed me for Eins to gather information. Wait for me for a minute."
I left to get some hot water, towels, and gloves and came back with them.
"wweeeeeennn"
"He said it was for his cousin."
Whoever pulled her hair was pretty brutal. If a little more was pulled, there will probably be a bald spot. I grabbed a towel and dipped it into the water.
"Yume, this will probably hurt, alright?"
"mhn"
I began cleaning off the blood, dabbing here and there and running it near the roots of her hair. She wasn't making a sound which isn't good.
"Yume, you can make a sound. It'll be alright." I prodded her.
She shook her head, flinching from the movement. I touched her cheek to let her look at me.
"You can show yourself in pain. You don't have to be strong anymore."
"yuuuuuuubaaaaaaaa"
She was still stubborn as ever. I continued getting rid of the dried and wet blood. When I hit a slight bare spot, I felt her grabbed onto my shirt. I guess this will be enough.
"Yume"
"oooo?"
"I'm glad you're back.
U~U~U
I checked myself to see if I can function without letting Ai panic. I am cool enough to not do anything rash. My first priority was to see Ai. He was very worry about Hime-sama, glancing at her every second as we went back home. I knocked on his room to let him know I'm entering. I opened the door to see him in the corner reading a medical book.
"Ai"
He looked up with worried and guilt. He ran toward me, grabbing onto the cloth of my pants.
"Nine, is she going to be okay now. Did he fix her good?" he asked.
I crouched down to eye, holding him steady.
"Ai, calm down first. If you do not do this, you will only get in the way of Kyuubi-sama."
He stopped fidgeting but restlessness was still there.
"Kyuubi-sama has not said anything to me yet -he opened hs mouth- but that means he is still fixing Hime-sama."
His eyes fell to the floor and he went stilled.
"Gomen" he said quietly enough that one wouldn't hear it.
"Ai, did you allow those children to hurt her?"
His eyes looked into mine, flashing angrily. "NO! I DIDN'T! I WOULDN'T!"
"Did you try to protect her?"
He nodded his head furiously.
"Then you didn't need to apologize. The one who are responsible are the children who did it, not you."
He shook his head with vigor.
"But-but I could have been able to fight instead of not doing anything. I should have fight harder to make Watanabe get off." he cried tearfully.
I do not know how to respond to this. His guilt is new to me.
"That does sound like your fault."
Kyuubi-sama was leaning against the door. His face was devoid of emotion. He is mad - at Ai, the one who were responsible, and me.
"You should have fought harder like hitting him where it hurt, biting him, anything."
Ai became indignant. "I-I did! But he was a fatty!"
"So it's because he's stronger and bigger than you that a brat like you can't do anything?" Ai was about to retort. "You think I'll care about that. I'm pretty sure there were some things you could use to get him off; a stick, rock, or even the dirt."
Kyuubi-sama reprimanded Ai to the point where it wasn't possible for Ai to speak.
"Why don't you go back to being weak for a while and mope like an idiot?" Kyuubi-sama faced me. "I'll need you."
He left and I followed after giving one last glance at Ai. His face was crestfallen, tears streaming down with frustration. I arrived at the living room to see Kyuubi-sama sitting on the sofa.
"The wound is pretty bad. Whoever did it pulled pretty hard on her hair, resulting for the scalp to raise. She lost a lot of blood which will result her in having headaches and lightheadedness, at most, for two weeks."
I didn't need to speak or ask anything as he wasn't done. Saying anything would result in a lost limb.
"I cleaned the wound with soap and hot water so infections shouldn't happen but the tissue showed a little so we'll have to either stitched it or glue it."
"Do we have the materials already?" I asked.
He chuckled. "Nope. I'll have to ask Matabi for it."
"I am sorry to have failed you, Kyuubi-sama."
He waved my apology off. "I don't care about apologize, Nine. Just give me your memory so that I can see what happened today."
Even though I knew it was necessary for me to give Kyuubi-sama my memory data for him to see the growth of Ai and care of Hime-sama, I greatly disliked it. Everything that Hime-sama trusted in me and Ai's life that I saw through my own eyes will be seen by another person. I slowly took out my memory and handed it to him.
"Please do not erase anything."
Kyuubi-sama laughed with amusement. "I won't. Yume won't be happy with me if I did that."
U*U*U
I was in a bad mood, no scratch that, a shitty bad where I was willing to break anything. Finding a job is harder than before, especially after crying out of nowhere. Every job that I had was either crappy or not a good idea. I questioned this time period on why it sucks. With how every jackass and idiots out there, people are wary of each other.
"Where is a job when you need one?" I yelled at the top of my lungs.
A chuckle and then, "I could offer you a job."
I turned around to see a really good-looking woman...or is it a guy? He...she has a long black hair tied in a ponytail, warm brown eyes, and about taller than me. This person was wearing a dark blue jacket and a white pants.
"Huh?" Not the best thing to say but a stranger just came up to me and offered what I wanted.
"I can give you a job if you're fine with that."
I was suspicious. The way to find a job is for that very person to search for it since no one wants to announce that they are hiring workers.
"Who are you?" I asked.
S/he smiled politely. "I am Haku Yuriki, head president of the Crystal Diamond."
U~U~U
"Ha! Ha! Ha!"
I was in the Uchiha's dojo, practicing my swordsmanship with restricted movements. Each practice strike I make allowed my body to be used to the restriction. Sweats were running down my body and my breathing became heavy.
"Ruko, I need to speak to you."
I stopped on my practice and saw Uchiha-san standing near the doorway in a hakama-clothing style. His eyes, grown up, watched me intently. I narrowed my eyes. I wonder what he want as he rarely called for me himself.
"Very well."
"Let's get start to the point. Are you loyal to my clan or are you here to leave on your whim after you reached your goal?"
It caught on to me right away that this teme wanted to know about my past and my motives. I inwardly bit my tongue to keep from lashing out. Gaara handled it before but I can't keep relying on him especially if Kitsune is going to be involved. Deep in the corner of my mind, I thought of another person but I ignored it.
"I am loyal to the leader of the Uchiha clan but that is because it is my choice. I will not abandon nor will I betray it just because of my a whim."
He measured my words with care. I was hoping that he wouldn't asked any questions about myself.
"I remember when you came here three years ago like a dead person." I became tense. "You had asked Father to take you in as you have the ability to be useful."
Let me be a part of the Uchiha clan.
"Y-yes..."
"I have seen you, but I do not know you. All I know from you is your ability to find information even Father could not find and your connection to some of the most prominent gangs."
"And that is all you need to know, Uchiha-san," I said with a glare.
He began walking toward me with cold eyes. I stood my ground and held onto his gaze, refusing to give any information about myself. We were now face to face, trying to stare each other down.
"No...it's not. To rebuild a clan that would have absolute loyalty to me, I have to start somewhere." He backed away, still holding onto our eye contest. "Why not start with the person who I don't know the most about. So, tell me..." In a flash, he grabbed the collar of my yukata and glared demandingly. "...who are you?"
U*U*U
I tiptoed quietly to Hime-san's room the best I can so that I can see her. Nobody else was here so it was okay but I wanted to be careful just in case he appeared. Water was about to come out of my eyes again. I stopped for a little bit and wiped my eyes. No, I thought, you can't cry right now. Go to Hime-san to see her.
Her door was closed so I opened it. There was Hime-san on her bed. I went near her bed and just stared even though l felt sick looking at how she was hurt. Hime-san's eyes were resting and she was breathing softly. I thought about what that stupid man said. I was ashamed that I couldn't do anything and the thing I hate the most was that he was right. I could have use something or use anything else but I didn't. I looked at Hime-san.
Hime-san has always been a sister for me, a good one, even after I was mean to her once. She is pretty, nice, and always get hurt easily. I heard some grown-ups talking how she was different from everyone of us. They called her stupid because she couldn't talk like my classmates or me, the way she walk is weird, and a lot more. Hime-san didn't know what they said about her so she doesn't know why other kids hurt her. I thought that me just being with her would be okay, but I was stupid wrong.
"Gomen..."
"gooooommmm"
Hime-san was awake. Her bright eyes staring at me with sleepiness.
"euuuuuu?" she asked.
I couldn't hold the water in my eyes anymore. I started crying and saying stuff that I can't remember good later on.
"G-gomen...wahhhhhh! Gomen!"
"...help...'sniff'...ou..."
"Waaahhhhh...I-I'll...'sniff' strong"
I kept on crying and saying stuff and promising until Hime-san said my name.
"Aaaaiiii"
"'sniff' y-yes"
"ffffavvvvvvooyyyyyyy"
It'll be okay. I believe you. She pat my head and she went back to sleep. Hime-san is pretty, nice, and the best person to be in my life. Why don't you go back to being weak for a while and mope like an idiot? I want Hime-san to always smile and be happy. To do that, I have to be able to fight so that Hime-san can ask me for my help. Sleepily, I wish for a place where my family; Nine, Hime-san, and me, will be together and happy.
U~U~U
A/N: You finally get to meet Kyuubi. What do you think his relationship with Nine and Ai are? I wonder how Ruko is going to deal with Sasuke. Let's hope for the best. Have fun. ^^
'Glue' refers to special tissue adhesives that have been used in Europe and Canada for many years but which have only recently (August 1998) been approved by the United States Food And Drug Administration (FDA). These adhesives are expected to eventually replace stitches in 25% to 30% of all laceration repairs. Studies done comparing stitches and 'glue' at 3 months after repair with regard to cosmetics, infection, and wound separation have shown no significant differences. However, 'glue' cannot be used in certain locations. It does not hold in areas of tension, such as the hands/fingers and over any joint.
