Chapter Ten: My Fault How?
As the two men walked into the room, Shadow recognized Li's perfect golden blond hair. He was with another man, a man with rather unruly hair that was a strange shade of brown, a brown that resembled a lot like mud.
"There's this chick at my mother's house that claims to be my mother's friend's daughter I think, but I don't ever really remember my mother doing anything to help another person besides serving them tea and refreshments at the hot springs."
"So, what, you're suspicious or something?" the man with him asked in a deep, rich voice that didn't really seem to match with anyone.
"Well, yes, but actually I don't mind her too much considering she has a nice face and body. You should really see her she is the most beautiful thing in the world."
Shadow gagged at that remark, her chibi talking her into jumping down and killing him then and there. Come on, ya know you can take a two on one battle. I don't care if you get caught in the process, just so long I can kill him!
"She must be pretty to catch your eyes I guess."
They were in the middle of the room when Li stopped to pick something up. "Huh? A folder? I don't seem to remember a folder lying around on the floor an hour ago."
"Maybe it was one of the others?" the mud haired man suggested. "Some of the newer guards are a lot less careful."
"Eh. Whatever, let's just see who's folder it is."
He was about to make it open when Shadow thought, No! He can't see that! If he did this whole mission would be a wild goose chase! My cover name is too similar, damn Naruto, couldn't you think of something a little more creative? And my eyes...
In a split second she gently blew on the papers from above the ceiling, controlling the air around them to make a breeze, and using telekinesis to turn the blower of the fan on one of the desk's making it go higher so that it looked as if the fan blew all the papers. She also opened one of the drawers of the Z section so that all the papers with people's last names that had Z in the beginning all blew out, mixing her paper with all the rest.
"What the hell?" Li cried protecting his head so that whipping papers all around wouldn't cut his fine hairs off. "How did this happen?" He looked up, but Shadow had already disappeared. She ran back to where Sasori was, quickly transforming back into the girl the guards had seen on their way in.
"Sasori, we need to leave."
"Why? What have you done this time." he asked lazily, not looking up and asking the question in more of a way that would count as a statement than a question.
"What did I-? What do you mean what did I do now?"
"I mean exactly what I said. What have you done this time?"
"Idiot..." She said quietly. "I'll tell you later I can't tell you now, not until we leave."
He sighed putting the book he was reading in his bag. "Fine. Let's go then. I guess my job is finished for the time being." Shadow looked behind her to make sure no one was following and they headed towards the exit.
They walked out quietly, both saying a quiet "Thank you" to the guards who were staring at the sky.
"So, what happened this time?" Sasori asked looking straight ahead and watching some children play ball in the road, as they sat down on a bench not too far from the Records Hall.
"I was looking around for some stuff to read," Shadow said also watching. "And I found this very thin passageway. I went through and it opened up to a door. I felt some strange vibrations and decided to check it out. When I got in I came to a room with screens showing just about every place in this village. I could see everyone and everything, almost. But... there were also files and the files, were files of people. They contained pictures of people and info, and not just people of this village. Their birth dates, age, specials, village, height, weight, family, jobs, everything was included. And I found the folders containing our information..."
She looked at him to see his reaction but he was watching the road up ahead, almost seeming as if he was ignoring her, but Shadow knew better.
"And...?" he inquired lazily.
"And I found our files. Yours and mine." She repeated more specifically this time, "I was going to get a rid of them, but I didn't have enough time. Li and a friend of his came in so I had to get out, and they were about to look at my file, since I didn't have enough time to put mine away. When I put the fan on high, I was only able to mix it in with another section. It's just..." She looked away, staring at a woman who was arranging her fruit stand. "They're... suspicious. Li is suspicious of our visit, my visit," She corrected herself, "So, I think that, maybe... we should leave tomorrow night. Or maybe sooner if possible. Find the jutsu then leave ASAP. Even, with the extra wig and black contacts, they could find my picture and then find us."
Sasori sat silently looking again at the children playing in the street. "OK. I'm not done yet with what I've been looking for, but I have figured out a weakness of the Sound village ."
"What?"
"Sound's weakness may be a special silence jutsu I found, or possibly lightning since lightning makes virtually no sound without thunder and is very fast, faster than sound. But then again, it may already be fairly weak already since their leader, Orochimaru, has disappeared..." He stopped himself from wincing upon saying the other man's name and Shadow quirked an eyebrow up questioningly.
"So, basically as of now the only ones we should worry about is grass? Then we'll leave in a few nights, once the documents are destroyed."
