Chapter 10
'Oh Kami I am going out of my mind. I know she is safe with Kiba and Shino but it should be me protecting her. My arms wrapped around her and oh to have her body against mine. Uh… Kankuro get your mind straight. Urrgh…this is taking for ever where and the hell are Izumo and Kotetsu they were suppose to relieve Chouji and me over an hour ago.' He sighed loudly pacing back and force in the guard tower. "Why will no one answer my question if Neji has been apprehended . He had all he could take he punched the wall.
"Feel better now?" Chouji laughed shaking his head. "Calm down they will be here soon. I still can't believe Neji did that. I mean I knew he was a stuck-up ass with delusions of destiny but his own cousin. Dude that is just sick."
"Would you shut the hell up you are not helping!" Kankuro yelled hitting the wall again in frustration.
"Sorry…but you are definitely not one for patients." Kankuro gave him an evil glare causing Chouji to wave his hands in front of him in surrender. Suddenly they heard voices.
"Sorry we are late." Izumo poked his head up into the watch tower. Climbing in he was followed by Kotetsu.
"What the hell took you so damn long?" Kankuro growled his patients at it's final limit.
"Okay…gesh calm down." Izumo said scratching the back of his head nervously.
"Tsunade requested we help search for Neji Hyuga." Kotetsu answered nervously.
"So you got the bastard!" Kankuro smiled with relief knowing Hinata would sleep better. "Chouji do me a favor and tell Hinata I will be late I have a certain prick to beat up." Grabbing his gear and heading for the stairs.
"Kankuro wait…there is more you need to know." Izumo looked over at his partner nervously. "Well you see Kankuro…we couldn't find him."
"What!" Kankuro yelled his fist hitting the wall so hard his knuckles began to bleed. "What the frack do you mean you didn't find him?"
"Calm down Kankuro…the anbu and a bunch of us jounin spent the day searching and he is nowhere to be found."
"That damn Hiashi is hiding him I bet."
"Actually no…Tsunade gave the anbu the right to search the Hyuga grounds he was not there. We have even canvassed most of the forest. Now don't worry Tsunade thinks he has made a run for it out of the Land of Fire. She has sent messengers to your brother the Kazekage to be alert to his presence if he shows up." Izumo sighed. "Kakashi, Gai, and Asuma are also out in the forest searching for any sign of where he might have fled to."
"So don't worry we will catch him soon." Kotetsu added as he patted Kankuro on the shoulder reassuringly.
Kankuro was far from reassured. "I need to get home." He raced down the steps taking the village roofs to get home faster.
