The next morning, Kiara leaves to go to Tsunade's office to speak to her about her part of this 'mission' while Kiba goes and meets Kaze, Shino and Shika at the house Sasuke is supposedly staying at.
"Ohayo, guys." Kiba says as he runs up.
"Ohayo, Kiba-kun." Shino says. Shika and Kaze nod at him then Kaze's eyes widen slightly as she looks up and down Kiba's body. "What is it Kami-san?"
"Are those, Raiku-Nii-chan's clothes?" Kaze whispers.
Kiba nods, his face growing sad. "Yeah… Kiara got them for me last night… I think she's a bit upset though."
Kaze nods in understanding. "Ah I see. She hasn't been in that room since the massacre."
"Wow… that explains her hesitation at the door."
"Yep. Now Sausy-chan and Kigei will be here soon and as soon as they do get here, we're going to-" Kigei and Sasuke walk up to them, interrupting Kaze. "Ah, is it my turn?" She asks, smiling brightly at Sasuke and Kigei.
"I don't believe you should," Kigei says, shaking his head. "You go too easy on him. I heard you intend to bring him to a party!"
Kaze shakes her head, still smiling but with her eye twitching. "It's Hina-chan's birthday, Sausy-chan should be there!" She says, grabbing Sasuke and leading him away
"I can't let you do that," Kigei says, frowning. "You are too soft to be my captain."
Kaze stops her smile slipping off her face. "Excuse me?" She asks, turning her head slightly to see him out of the corner of her eye. "Did you just…. Question me?"
"You have no idea how to handle a situation such as this!" Kigei argues, crossing his arms in front of him. Kaze turns around fully to face her officer, her stoic mask slipping on. "You're taking a prisoner to a party! That is not acting responsibly!"
Kaze stars at Kigei, crossing her arms, face impassive. "And what is the best way, officer?" She asks, accenting the last word. "Torture? Pain? Starvation? I shouldn't treat him with respect, is that what you're saying? In other words, you're questioning my methods?" Sasuke steps away from Kigei, making sure to keep out of Kaze's way.
"I don't think it's a good idea, that's all!" Kigei yells.
Kaze's voice drops low, signifying her shortening temper. "Don't. Question. Your. Captain." She says quietly, glaring at the man, her mask dropping from her face and the hatred she feels for him finally glinting in her eyes. Shino frowns, noticing her voice drop and immediately understanding the man was going to regret talking to her.
"I will question you if-" Kigei starts before his breath is knocked out of his lungs and he ends up sprawled on the ground. He gasps, trying to get his lungs working when a booted foot lands on his chest, knocking his breath away again.
"You do realize that if I step on you completely, your sternum will break and you will die, right?" Kaze whispers, leaning down to emphasize her point. Kigei nods quickly, gasping. "Now, I want you to go to Tsunade and turn in your resignation. Understood?" Kigei nods unhappily as Kaze took her foot off. He disappears in a poof of smoke and Kaze stood breathing heavily. She, then, turns her eyes towards Sasuke, who flinches slightly. A moment later and she is standing in front of him, and he flinches more visibly. She grabs the bottom of his shirt and pulls it up to reveal his stomach and chest. She hisses slightly when she sees the extent of the wounds.
"Asshole," she hisses, peeling the shirt from the wounds and opening them back up. "You let him do this?" She snaps at Sasuke.
"He said you told him to!" Sasuke argues, trying to pull his shirt down.
"Don't move!" She snaps and he put his arms up reflexively. She heals the outside wounds, then tries to focus on the middle one, but it won't close. "Gah, he stuck something in it!" She growls, putting her hand right into the hole, closing her fingers around a kunai, and ripping it out quickly. Sasuke gasps, trying to back away, but Kaze glares at him. "Hold your shirt for a moment!" She orders.
He does as he was told, holding it up and watching as she heals the wound. Her other hand clenched around the kunai, cutting her fingers open and bleeding onto the ground, but either she doesn't notice or doesn't care. When she is finished, she orders him to drop his shirt, she drops the kunai in disgust, and stomps over to a cement bench.
Kaze steps on the bench, causing it to rip out of the ground and into her waiting hand, before writing on it with her own blood "I want him gone." She then picks up the bench, aims, and throws it straight at Hokage Tower into the Hokage's room.
In Hokage tower, Kigei was fighting with Tsunade, explaining that Kaze was unstable and unfit to be captain of the Anbu. Kiara grit her teeth, having already been ordered by Tsunade to not speak while Tsunade ignored most of what Kigei said. Kiara looked out the window at that moment and saw a bench flying towards her.
"Incoming," she says calmly, stepping out of the way. Tsunade sighs, putting her head down on her desk to avoid the bench as it crashes through the window. Kigei throws himself to the ground in an effort to avoid being hit and the bench embedded itself into the wall behind him.
"Message from Kaze-sama, Tsunade-sama," Kiara says unnecessarily, pointing at the bench and it's bloody message.
"Seems Kaze wants you to resign, Kigei," Tsunade says, looking at the man. "You forgot to mention that. Well, as of now, you are no longer part of Anbu." She waves him and all his excuses away, turning to Kiara. "Please remove the bench," She sighed, looking out the window.
Back on the ground, Kaze watches the bench fly into the window, breathing hard. The four boys' jaws drop open at the display.
"K-Kami-san… w-wasn't that a bit… far?" Kiba asks.
"Actually, for Kaze that's a bit low key. Especially when she's mad." Shino says shaking his head. Shikamaru nods in silent agreement.
"He ticked me off." Kaze growls. "Beating on Sausy-chan like that."
"Don't call me that!" Sasuke yells.
"Why not? You were fine with it when we were kids!" Kaze yells back.
"That's when we were kids! Besides I asked you to stop before I left!" Sasuke retorts getting in her face.
"I just saved your butt, don't get in my face!" Kaze yells.
In the Hokage Tower, Tsunade stares out the window, listening to the argument going on below while Kiara is trying to get the bench out of the wall. She has grabbed onto it with her hands and braced her feet on the wall while pulling but it hasn't even budged. Kiara steps down and puts her hands on her hips with a huff as she glares at the bench. Then she looks over her shoulder at Tsunade with a pleading look.
"Tsunade-samaaaaa can I go get Kaze-sama? The stupid bench won't move!" Kiara whines.
Tsunade looks at Kiara, chuckles a little then nods. "Yes you better hurry too. It seems Sasuke might be in need of a little help."
Kiara cocks her head in confusion. "How so?" she asks as she walks to the broken widow.
"He made Kaze mad." Tsunade states plainly.
Kiara's face warps in shocked horror before she jumps out the broken window and uses the rooftops to get to were Kaze and the others stand. She lands beside the bickering duo making them both stop and look at her while Kiba's face warps in shock as he jumps back.
"Oh, Kia. What's up?" Kaze asks, all anger gone.
"The bench won't come out of the wall, will you get it please?" Kiara asks.
Kaze snickers then rubs the top of Kiara's head. "Sure, sure. Sorry 'bout that Kia didn't mean to get it in that far."
Kiara smiles up at Kaze. "It's fine Kaze-sama."
"Good I'll be right back." Kaze says then disappears in a poof of smoke.
"Hello Kiara." Sasuke says walking up to her.
Kiara smiles then hugs him. "Hello, Sasuke-kun."
"Look…. About the other day-"
"Don't worry 'bout it… I get the feeling you weren't yourself." Kiara says pulling away.
"Now about that Kekkei Genkai-" Sasuke starts then is abruptly stopped when Kiara shoves a hand to his mouth. Sasuke raises an eyebrow at Kiara.
"Shh! Very few people know about that." Kiara hisses.
Sasuke removes Kiara's hand from his mouth his eyebrow still raised. "Ok, but I wanna know more 'bout it."
"And I'll tell you just not now!"
"…Is it really such a big deal?" Sasuke asks.
"Yes!"
"Why?"
"Because my clan was killed because of it!" Kiara shouts.
All four of the boys' eyes widen in shock. Kaze watches on the top of a nearby rooftop, her face sad. Gradually their faces become sad and they look either at the ground or to they're right or left. Kaze leaps down from the roof and walks up to them.
"C'mon you guys we gotta get to Hina-chan's party." Kaze says making everyone but Shino jump and look at her.
"Wait, wait Kami-san!" a young man says while running up to the group.
"What is it?" Kaze pretty much snaps, getting irritated with all of the interruptions.
"You and Kawa-san need to go check in on the other three from Uchiha-san's group." The young man pants.
Kiara and Kaze trade looks then sigh before looking back at him. "Alright, alright. We'll meet you three at Hina-chan's party." Kaze sighs.
"Three?" Kiba asks. "But there's four of us."
"Sausy-chan's coming with us." Kaze says while walking away. Sasuke turns and gives Kaze a dark look for the nickname but follows after her closely followed by Kiara.
The trio walks to a house down the street and walk inside. In the living room sit the three from a few nights ago. Karin jumps up and breaks into a wide smile when she sees Sasuke but it quickly turns to fear and anger when she sees the girls with him. Seeing, Karin's reaction Suigetsu and Juugo also look. Juugo's look remains blank while Suigetsu smiles.
"Oi, Sasuke! I see you brought some friends to see us." Suigetsu says smiling.
"Yeah… not by choice though. Kiara is the one with reddish brown hair and the other one is Kaze." Sasuke says motioning to them as he talks. "Kiara, Kaze, this is Juugo, Suigetsu and Karin."
"The other one?" Kaze growls angrily.
Sasuke shrugs with a slight smile on his face. Kiara is shaking her head while Karin's beginning to fume. Kiara spots it and quickly gives her a sharp look. Karin sees the look and jumps her face becoming fearful.
"Hey Getsu-chan, was that sword you had Zabuza's?" Kaze asks looking at Suigetsu.
Suigetsu's face becomes slightly angry as he looks at her. "Getsu-chan?"
"Uh huh."
"Don't call me Getsu-chan!" Suigetsu says angrily.
"How bout Sui-chan?" Kiara pipes up with one finger pointing in the air.
"NO!" Suigetsu roars. Then he turns to Sasuke and waves an angry hand at Kiara and Kaze. "How did you deal with this so dang long?"
"You get used to it after a while." Sasuke says shrugging. "I suggest you just let it go."
Suigetsu grumbles as he glares at the smiling Kaze and Kiara. "…Fine…"
"Yay!" both girls cheer.
Karin has begun to laugh and Juugo has a small smile on his face. Suigetsu points an angry finger at Karin and glares.
"Shut up Karin!"
"I don't have to."
Suigetsu growls then stands up to go after Karin but Kaze appears before him. He cries out in shock then falls back down on the couch.
"H-How'd you do that?" he stutters.
"Very easily, Getsu-chan but you didn't answer my question." Kaze says, pouting a little.
Kiara snickers while Sasuke crosses his arms and rolls his eyes. Suigetsu looks at Kaze unsure how he should answer
"W-Well… yeah… it is… Sasuke got it for me." Suigetsu says.
"Really? That was nice." Kiara says sitting down in front of Suigetsu.
Suigetsu looks down at Kiara, notices that the front of her shirt has opened a bit then blushes and looks away. Kiara cocks her head in confusion not sure why he suddenly blushed.
"I-I guess so…" Suigetsu stutters again.
"Hey, hey, Kaze-sama, Sui-chan blushed!" Kiara says pointing to Suigetsu.
"I-I see that…" Kaze giggles.
"Oh shut up…" Suigetsu grumbles out of embarrassment.
"Hahaha serves you right Getsu-chan." Karin says mockingly.
"You're next Karin." Suigetsu growls.
"Knock it off you two." Sasuke growls. "Kaze, Kiara will you stop embarrassing my team?"
"But it's fun!" both girls protest.
Sasuke sighs. "I thought we had a party to get to?"
"Ah! Hina-chan!" Kaze shouts jumping up to her feet. She grabs Kiara and Sasuke's wrists as she runs out the door.
At the party, Kiara and Kaze are hanging out with their graduating year. All of them have cups full of punch and are joking around with each other. Kiara silently observes how Shino and Kaze are laughing and staying silent at the same time.
"…You two are perfect for each other Kaze-sama." Kiara state, cocking her head to the right in thought. Kaze raises a questioning eyebrow. "You and Shino-kun."
Shino and Kaze's eyes widen with shock while Shikamaru's gets noticeably angry.
"You're kidding right? It's not like that, Kia. You should know this." Kaze says shaking her head.
"Maybe but think about it, Kaze-sama. You've gotten along very well for years even though you're afraid of his bugs. He's protective of you and-"
"No. It isn't like that." Shino cuts in. "It's more of a sibling relationship like brother and sister ok? It would be awkward for us to date."
"No kidding! It's like you dating Raiku-Nii-chan." Kaze says. Kiara's nose wrinkles in disgust.
"Ew. Ok never mind." Kiara says.
"Now, What about you and Sausy-chan? You guys are really close and it's obvious that you care for each other." Kaze says, smirking as Kiara and Sasuke blush and look at each other while Sakura, Ino and Kiba become enraged.
"Nuh uh!" Kiara says shaking her head back and forth. "There's no way I could date Sasuke-kun! Not only would my life be threatened by multiple girls but it just wouldn't work out…" Beside Kiara, Sasuke is nodding in agreement. "We're more like siblings than anything else, right Sasuke-kun?"
"Right." Sasuke agrees without hesitation.
"Oi guys! What'cha talking about?" Lee yells as he flops his arms around Shino and Shikamaru's shoulders. There is a funky pink color to his cheeks and his speech is slurred.
"… Stuff… are you ok Lee?" Sakura asks just before Lee's face becomes mad and he goes on a rampage.
Lee starts yelling and breaking stuff. He even attacks his fellow teammates if they got too close. After about thirty minutes, Gai, Shikamaru, Neji and Naruto have finally pinned Lee to the ground. As they hold him down, everyone else begins to clean up. When Lee finally comes to his senses, he gets low to the ground and apologizes over and over again.
Later that night Kiara and Kaze are walking home after the party. They just traded shifts with the others watching over Sasuke and the other three. They get to their house and flop on the couches, completely worn out by the day's events.
"Note to self: don't give Lee-kun sake…" Kiara mumbles into the couch.
"No. Kidding." Kaze agrees. "No more drunken rampages for me."
Kiara sighs then gets up on her hands and knees. "It took four of the guys to hold him down… that was freaky…"
"I concur. We seriously need to keep the sake away from him next time…" Kaze groans. "Lets go to bed, we have company coming by in the morning."
