Good evening! Here's another chapter!
The next morning seemed brighter than ever. kurenai had messaged the werewolves with a picture of the amulet telling her to meet Neji and herself at an old barn about 30 miles up the road at 7pm.
Kakashi, Naruto Kiba and I were going to hide in the top part of the barn and have their silenced pistols aimed at the wolves heads. As soon as the deal happens they're would be dead wolves laying on the floor. We would get in the cars and head for north Carolina.
"Does everyone understand their parts In this mess. Under no circumstances do any of those wolves leave that barn."
"Of course Sakura" Neji said with a glint of happiness in his eyes, he couldn't have come up with a better plan himself.
Kurenai was to rush hinata out while their little war broke out.
Eating bunch, Getting all the weapons and positions dealt with has taken longer than expected but it was now 4pm.
With proper planning in place our team headed out at 430 to beat anyone else there. We drove towards the barn, Naruto and kiba arguing over what music to listen to. I reached into the front seat and switched it to the immigrant song by led zeppelin.
"Perfect sakura-chan!" Both Naruto and kiba exclaimed.
"One of the best adrenaline pumping songs out there boys" I said with a smile. I need a win after yesterday events
You'll always be mine.
Those words were stuck in my head... I know it was from my fucked up dream...but that dream felt more real than usual.
I shook my head clearing my mind of that dirty day.
Stay focused sakura. Hinata is top priority.
I watched as the two boys danced in the car. Getting all the jitters out I assumed, this had to go perfectly our one of us was going to die.
I'm sure as hell not ready for anyone to die today.
We arrived at 5pm hiding our cars and taking our weapons, we ran into the barn to position ourselves. Now all's we had to do it wait.
Hold on hinata we will get you back.
I felt a bucket of cold water hit me as I was sleeping on the cold floor. This place was a werewolf dungeon. It was gross, dust every where and smelt like rat piss. I had been stuck here for two months.
I've given up all hope on getting out of here.I had a tan jacket that was dirty and smelt like absolute death on with a pair of capris. My blue hair was matted from not being able to brush it. I looked like a terrible mess.
No one's coming to save me, they would have found me by now
"Get up!" I just sat there waiting for My death to come. I'd rather die than become one of these monsters.
"Get up wench!" A hard grasp lifted me to my feet and slammed me into the wall. I whimpered from the pain.
"Looks like somebody does give a rats ass if you live or die. You'll be let go today, as long as we get our amulet"
I'll be...let go...kurenai...are you near...no this is a lie..
I struggled against his grip. Crying out as I felt the cuts on my arms reopen from his pulling, my head ached, I couldn't think straight, and fighting him was hard for me to do.
"Didn't you hear me bitch you're leaving" he seethed at me.
"You...you lie" he slapped me across the face.
"I, yukuzami never lie. I'd rather kill you right now but then we wont get the amulet, can't gave that now can we...Of course none of you may make it out of there alive anyways" he laughed as I shook tears falling down my face.
He shoved a bag over my head so I wouldn't know where his hide out was. I could hear four other wolves coming with him. He threw me into a car and I bashed my head on the other side. I could feel myself fading into the dark of the bag..
Kurenai...it's a trap
It was dead silent in the barn. Naruto was above the door in the shadows and kiba was opposite of him sakut's was to the left of Naruto and kakashi was to his right. Sitting in silence slowing their breathing down to perform the assassination.
Kurenai and Neji walked of into the barn and stood directly in the middle waiting for the wolves to show up. They were both ready for anything at this point, although neji wasn't sure how they were going to survive this.
"Do you think this will really work" neji whispered, he was worried they might bring more wolves than they could fight
"Its a brilliant plan, it has to work, I'm sure they're excellent shots Neji." Kurenai was just as unsure as Neji on how many they could actually take on.
30 minutes had passed the four wolves walked in pushing a very weak hinata, the three trailing behind the leader and hinata carried metal poles and machetes. The werewolf pulled the bag off of hinatas head, she was bruised and bloody.
Kurenais went wide with anger, her little girl had been threw hell with these asshats.
"My name is yukuzami. I am the leader of the northwest sanction of warewolves. I hear you have an amulet of mine?"his disgusting smile made everyone want to instantly put a bullet through his head
"Give us hinata frist then well give you the amulet" neji tryed to remain calm. Seeing his cousin like this made hi s blood boil.
Everyone up top was a focusing their guns it would be quick execution.
"Uh uh uhh, show me the amulet" kurenai pulled the amulet out of her pocket and yukuzamis eyes shown happiness he shoved the bound girl forward. Ready for his payment.
"Peace out bitches!"
Kurenai grabbed hinata and started running to the back door of the barn. Before the wolves even went to surround them the four of them dropped dead on the ground. Yukuzumi looked around unable to find the culprits.
Neji pulled out his gun and pointed it directly in the middle of yukuzamis forehead. Frozen in fear, he tryed to bargain for his life.
"L-listen if you kill me...the entire pack will be hunting for you. Let me live and I'll leave you alone... forever.. I swear!"
"Sorry but dogs like you deserve to be put down" neji smirked letting off the final round into yukuzamis head, he raced to Kurenais car and had notices the others had already left. He got in the car and they started driving back to north Carolina.
"Hey you okay hinata?"He asked with worry in his eyes.
"I...I...i am now...Neji" hinata was still freezing, neji climbed in the back seat grabbing a blanket wrapping it arounnd hinata as well as his arms.
"I...d-didnt realized y-you cared about m-me" neji shook his head at her.
"Hinata we will always be family, your about all I have anyways, I can't lose you" she smiled at him.
"Kurenai who...who helped us b-back at the barn...how did you k-know it was a set up" she was staring at kurenai. Hinata knew kurenai wasn't a people person.
"You'll get to meet them when we get back home. They'll be there waiting for us." She replied not wanting to ruin the surprise of kakashi being alive
Sakura and her teammates jumped out the top floor window ran back to their cars immediately after assassinating the four wolves they didnt want to be caught by anyone else who may be near by.
Naruto stole the drivers seat from kiba sticking his tongue out at him as sakura got into the passenger seat leaving kiba to get in the back.
"Snooze you lose kiba! That was the easiest mission ever! Naruto shouted as he turned the car over and speeding away from the barn
"Yeah yeah whatever you win for once... it was too easy though naruto. I don't think that's the last time we see that particular pack" he narrowed his eyes
Sakura nodded her head
"Well we just took out there head honcho. They'll be out for blood but we will be ready." She watched as naruro drove next to kakashi who jokingly honked at them. They stuck there tongues out and flipped him off laughing.
"Hey guys, let's give kakashi a run for his money! He gave us the address we're supposed to go to, sakura text him saying if we win he buys us dinner!"
Sakura snacked her palm to her head.
"Always about food naruto!"
Kiba chuckled but he wanted more out of it
"Tell him plus three brand new blades!"
"Alright. Alright. Dinner plus new blades" she shook her head these boys were always trying to make bets and losing them.
Hey kakashi
Race is on
We win you buy us dinner plus three blades.
- Sakura
Bzzz bzzz
You're on
I win new gun for me.
And you do my laundry for two weeks
See you in NC
-Kakashi
"Alright boys don't lose this time, he wants a new gun and his laundry done for two weeks, and I sure as hell don't want to smell his nasty socks again! If you start losing Naruto I'm taking the wheel.
"I got this believe it!" Naruto stepped on the gas and blew past kakashi. Now he just had to stay ahead of him.
It had been rather boring staying in hell now that I know she's alive. I frowned when I was interrupted from invading the pinkettes dreams. Getting inside people's minds is one of my specialtys but with sakura I could only get in her dreams or speak directly to her. It was frustrating but it would have to due for now.
I sighed, I would have to wait till she fell asleep again. Maybe the next time I could convince her to abandon those pathetic hunters.
I thought about Itachi's little warning I had tryed to come up with a plan to rid him from my life. But I kept coming up short.
Every plan had to many specifics. Conjuring death, well he wasn't a friendly reaper, and already had issues with me so that was out. Having a demon army rise against Itachi was out to, I had no idea who was loyal to who at this point. I may have more demons but they may turn on me.
I could involve the witch Ino, she's thousands of years old and owes me favor anyways. but she would need a hunters blade to enchant...And not just any one. My old one...and fuck sakura has that knowing her.
I thought about everything else that I could possibly do but I kept going back to getting my hunter blade back...
"Ugh!" I slammed my frist down on the table in front of me shattering it when a terrified voice spoke out.
"S-S-sasuke-kun is it a bad time" I looked up to see the red hair of Karin.
She had a sick obsession over Itachi and I. She's determined to have one of us but each time one of us shoots her down she crawls back to the other. I started rubbing my temples I was not in the mood for her ridiculous attempt to get laid.
"What in all hells name do you want now" I glared at her furiously.
"I...I'm sorry!" She yelled flinging her self on to me. I stood there in completely shock, I hadn't been held since the day I died.
The shock only last a mere minute before I shoved her off of me
"Sorry?" It was the only thing that could come out she tryed to apologize everytime after going back to my brother.
"I should have never tried with Itachi. He only wanted to use me now He wants that pink haired bitch to be his queen! This is not fair!" I scoffed at her but then I had one question
How did...
"How do you know her hair color?" Her eyes went wide when I asked, she started trembling.
"I...I..uhh...Well" I grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her.
"TELL ME" I watched her wince at the harsh tone in my voice.
I should just kill her now
"A year ago...I failed an attempt on her life...I told Itachi she was dead...when it was Almost me... the brown haired boy that came to her rescue has a wolf spirit protecting him. It messed me up bad...and I ran..." I was furious now.
He fucking knew she was alive that entire time...
I threw her into a wall, her head smacked loud against the concrete and she started whimpering.
"So she's got people all around her protecting her now."
"Y-yeah, a blonde boy with a fox demon locked inside"
That blonde that was with her
"A brown haired boy by the name of kiba with the wolf spirit and a sliver haired man who has one sharingan in his eyes"
My head whipped in her direction, I knew that man when I was alive I had heard stories of him, he was one of my idols
Kakashi hatake huh, ol44 how did you come across my old teammate.
"Well that's why Itachi wants everyone to stand back from this. Thats a powerful spirit, a murderous demon, and the best hunter out there." I mumbled to myself. I dropped the annoying red head, and turned away from her.
"S-sasuke-kun"
"What!?" Couldn't she just go away.
"Do you know that pink haired bitch"dss
I smirked "oh we go way back...from when I was alive"
Karin stared at me for a moment, it looked like she was contemplating something.
"Will..will you rid Itachi of his throne...you'd be a better ruler...my king ill swear on my own demon blood to be under your rule.." as much as I couldn't stand her i pulled out a blood contract.
"Sign it now, you won't be able to speak of my plans to any one unless I say so." She hesitantly nodded, cut her hand open and let her blood land on the paper.
I was a binding contract to serve under me no matter the circumstance. If she tryed to break it my hell hounds would be all over her.
"Now go, I'll call for you" I could see she wanted to say, that nasty pig always wanted sex and I just wasn't willing to give it to her. Unlike my brother
Ugh just thinking about it makes me wanna hurl...taking down Itachi will be hard but maybe...
An idea sparked in my head, a way where I could get everything I wanted.
I'll make those hunters believe I want to side with them to take itachi down. I be able to get my blade back...
I laughed my plan was brilliant, I started to think over everything on how I was going to do it but a thought struck me.
They won't be so easy to trust me..but we both want him dead...hmm I'll have to prove it some how...
I sighed I usually always win against my team when it came to racing but this time they had already lost me
"Shit"
"Now now kakashi you can lose this one time" I nearly hit the brakes I whipped my head towards my passenger seat pulling my gun out and gaara happend to be casually sitting there .
"Fucking hell! I could have shot you!"
The hell does he want now.
"Your weapons are of no affect on me, I can only be killed with one of these" he flashed a long sliver blue blade that had symbols on it i had never seen.
"What do you want now" I really didn't like that this guy was so pushy.
"I want to come with you and meet the rest of your team, I'll explain to sakura what she is and then we can find tsunade"
At least he's honest but now's not the time.
"Listen you need to wait until later to do this, we just got done with a mission were tired, wait 4 days after we get to North Carolina, then fine" he frowned at me and then sighed.
"Four days after you reach your destination, then I will be back, no more stalling" and then he just vanished.
Goddamn it I really lost now. Fucking angel. He doesn't understand my teams a bunch of assholes, the sarcasm against him will be laid on heavy. I doubt they'll take him seriously
I flipped on the radio and took my time getting to North Carolina. The kids could win for once. I shook my head.
Damn Naruto can eat two houses worth of food, I'll be broke before we even get to Florida.
Hinata had fallen a sleep in the back seat with her head on nejis shoulder. I watched him gently lay her down and crawl back into the passenger side seat.
"So what now?" Neji had asked me quietly.
"Well have to go back on the road neji, after getting shikamaru, they'll find our scent and follow us home, and were not ready. Ill understand of you want to go back to where you live"
I hated that I would have to bounce hinata and shikamaru every where but this would happen all over again if we stayed.
I don't expect you to stay neji I know you only came because she's your family.
"So will you be trying to go around with kakashi and his group?" I looked over at him wondering why he was asking.
"I...I may were stronger in numbers...plus I think hinata would benefit from having a female hunter around her age..." I tryed to catch his facial expressions but all I saw was a small smile.
"Well looks like I'll be tagging along then kurenai" my eyes went wide
Neji...
"But what about your father, the rest of your clan.." he snarled at my questions
"I was never told about them abandoning hinata the way the did. I may be an asshole but I am not entirely a dick. She's the only real family i have. She's accepted that I am not perfect like they want me to be. Plus they'll probably shove me out once they find out I went on a suicide mission for her."
I could tell he was proud of what he did. He truly meant every word about hinata being the only real family he had. I smiled.
"Glad to hear you are staying Neji. I'm sure hinata and shika will be happy to. Now to just make kakashi take us with him where ever he may be going" he laughed at me. We weren't that far from the house now.
Home sweet home...for just a little longer anyways...
hope you enjoyed, I may have another chapter up later on tonight so keep looking!
