My dearest readers,
I am doing exams and have been doing them all year. This prevents me from writing. I do however write sometimes, and the finish of a chapter seems so far away. So here is an incomplete but could be called complete chapter. I hope you guys aren't too disappointed with me. I read through the chapter to correct some mistakes however there is no guarantee that it is perfect. Have fun reading 3
"I will. Come on um..."
"Kiba." The brunette grinned, introducing himself.
"Come on Kiba my raccoon needs your help." Gaara said as he started walking towards his car. After seeing his unsettled face, Naruto patted Suigetsu's back. This seemed to comfort him because after Kiba got into the car, he shut the door.
"You can trust Gaara he is a nice guy. He treats slaves like humans." Naruto gave a reassuring smile to the worried looking silver haired man. He knew he was in love with his best friend and if Gaara did anything to Kiba, Suigetsu would go crazy. At least that was what Naruto expected.
As Naruto walked back inside the house he caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror that was hanging on the wall in the hallway. He saw his scars. He saw how his clothes were hanging loose. He saw little details - such as his nails breaking from the lack of vitamins - which normal people wouldn't see when they just walk past a mirror. However Naruto did see.
Ending up above the toilet, he sobbed as he looked down at his lunch. It had gotten to the point where he didn't even have to reach down his throat; Naruto just threw up out of pure stress. Being a hundred percent sure that this was unnatural, the young teen felt lost. Why did he feel like this?
By now he was crying fully so hard that it caught Suigetsu's attention. The older male walked into the bathroom and pulled Naruto away from the toilet.
"Do you even know if he wants you or not? You don't. You never asked, never heard him say that. It's silly to be upset over something you are not even sure about." These wise words left his mouth as he flushed the toilet and washed his hands after. "Wash your face and when ever you let it all out, we will call this Sasuke person okay?"
All Naruto could do was nod. The other left the bathroom and thought about searching for this guy's number to cheer Naruto up.
Or ruin his life...
What if Sasuke really didn't like Naruto? What if he truly didn't want him back? What than? Suigetsu couldn't just call Sasuke and have him throw Naruto away. It would be all Suigetsu's fault. He shook his head. Slaves were so complicated.
Meanwhile, Kiba and Gaara had arrived to Inuzuka vets which was right above Inuzuka pet store. Kiba was extremely confused. His second name was written everywhere and his tattoo on his cheeks was the logo of the Inuzuka organisation. The girl who brought him Akamaru had the same tattoo. Was it possible for Kiba to belong here?
When they entered the vets a woman with deep red eye shadow, very spiky brown hair just like Kiba's and Kiba's tattoo, turned to them happily, eyeing the two observantly. As her eyes ran down Kiba's frame, shock captured her expression.
"Kiba?" She questioned with a shaking tone. Now the young dog lover was extremely confused. How did this woman know his name? A woman who's hair colour was exactly his like and so was her eye shape. Was he meant to know her? "Is that really you, son?"
"Son?" Kiba yelled in shock as he jumped away from the woman. He had no parents he was an orphan ever since he could remember.
"Mother, what is going on?" Hana came out of a room into the reception area.
"Hana, this is your younger brother Kiba." Tsume stated with profession in her voice.
"No, I'm sorry there must be a mistake, I'm an orphan." Kiba stated. This situation was embarrassing and uncomfortable.
"Kiba stop fooling around you naughty puppy, I could recognise my long lost son anywhere!" Tsume pushed as she became very sure of herself. She was convinced that this day will never come. More precisely, she feared of this day not coming. On the other hand she feared from it coming too; she had so many regrets, made so many mistakes.
"Mother? I am an only child." A worried expression sat on Hana's face. Was her mother fine?
"Excuse me I don't mean to interrupt your family drama but my little raccoon is dying here." Gaara butted in as he held a crying Shukaku to his chest.
Hana acted the fasted as she took the raccoon into her hands holding him in a special way that she knew will not make anything worse.
"He broke his leg I think. He fell from a high place." Gaara explained, feeling uncomfortable with someone else holding his Shukaku.
"I will get the x-ray ready." Tsume walked into a room where the x-ray equipment was and Hana followed her. Gaara was not going to stay outside, he wanted to be next to his best friend at all times.
It turned out that Shukaku's left leg was broken, but it was not major which calmed Gaara's worries a little. As Tsume and Hana helped each other put Shukaku's leg in a tiny white cast, Kiba stood there awkwardly starting to believe that it was indeed his sister and mother working on the little raccoon. They had the red fang tattoo just like him. Kiba never knew why he had it or how he got it but his family, who by the way had the same second name as him, had them too so it made sense.
"I broke up with your dad when you was born Kiba. We couldn't handle two children financially so I sent him away and he demanded to take you. So I let him. You were one year old when your dad took you with himself." Tsume explained as she finished Shukaku up and placed him on a hospital bed designed for pets. "This was at the time when you Hana was in University living on campus for four years. As we didn't really contact each other I never told you about my pregnancy or your dad taking Kiba. I only had power to tell you your dad left when you came back from university.
While Tsume was revealing the shocking truth, Gaara stroked the sleeping Shukaku who was utterly exhausted from the pain and the treatment.
"I just don't understand why i went to an orphanage when I had a mother." Kiba stated, not knowing how to react to this or what exactly to say. These people who he met just now were his family. Seemingly strangers...
"I'm not sure either. Eleven years later when I heard about your dad being in jail I search for you everywhere and it seemed like you never existed. I didn't understand where that crazy man put my only son." Tsume said dramatically.
"He became a slave." Hana stated sadly stunning her mother.
"Twelve year olds are collected in orphanages and turned into slaves." Gaara stated calmly, making the three Inuzuka turn to him. "Orochimaru makes sure whoever enters the warehouse is not known as a person outside of the warehouse. He deletes their identity from every system."
"That's why no one looked for me..." Kiba noted to himself.
"My son... a slave?" Tsume's heart clenched together as she thought of what they do to slaves. Starting to see herself as a horrible, careless mother, she wanted to cry and burn the people who abused her son. Her baby Kiba. She turned to her youngest child and pulled him into a tight hug. "What horrible acts did they perform on your delicate body?"
The only redhead flinched at the weird use of words and couldn't imagine how Kiba must have been feeling. Tsume was almost a stranger to him claiming to be his biological mother. There was no doubt that it was the truth, yet it was still hard to get one's mind to it. Although the young brunette felt slightly uncomfortable, with the woman hugging him, he hugged back nonetheless.
"I'm still a virgin... um mum..." Kiba stuttered out, not wanting to give too much detail on what exactly he has done before. "I lived in the warehouse for most parts and never really got out of there. Than Suigetsu bought me..."
"WHAAAT? WHO IS SUIGETSU! I will have their head!" Tsume fumed, the rage painting her cheeks red. Kiba jumped away in fear.
"Suigetsu is nice... He bought me Akamaru." Kiba explained.
"I have met the guy, he seemed so passionate about Kiba. Mother you know how expensive the new puppies are. Suigetsu was willing to get one for Kiba because he loved dogs so much!" Hana decided to side with Kiba because Suigetsu seemed so caring and considerate about Kiba. She has seen some cases where the owner of a slave killed their slave for asking to use the bathroom.
Sorry this took so long. I am working on the next chapter however from next month I will have exams on most days :s Once the summer holiday starts I am planning to bomb with chapters! (no promises)
