Chapter 12: The one that was missing
Kisu
I woke up with a throbbing headache. My eyes slowly adjusted to the dim lighting as I opened them. I groaned and turned over on the small cot I was in.
Wait, where was I?
I sat and found myself in a small room made for one. A single light placed in the middle of the room. I turned my head towards the door across the room and stood up. I walked slowly to the big wooden door and took the knob and turned it.
I was genuinely surprised to find it unlocked.
I guess there was a jutsu or something around the area so no 'experiments' would escape. I jumped when I heard a voice behind me.
"So you are awake I see."
"AHH! BAD PEDO-SNAKE! Oh it's only Kabuto... EVEN WORSE!" How I didn't know, but possibly because he was here at the moment and not the former of the two options.
He gave me a confused look and pushed up his glasses, the glare hiding his eyes and blinding mine. "Yes well, now that you are up and fully functional, Lord Oroachimaru wishes to see his latest subject."
"Pfft! Subject my ass! I'm am not going anywhere near that creepy snake anytime soon!" I think I was trying to ask for death. That was the second time I had insulted a powerful shinobi, granted it wasn't straight to his face this time, this week and managed to still seem mostly intact.
Unless this was a genjutsu place on me by Sasuke then... I'm screwed. Insert sweatdrop here.
Kabuto just gave me a blank look and pushed forward where I was sure things were going to get a lot more painful, and there would be lots more yelling. I took in a deep breath as the silver-haired assistant opened a door and it revealed the bastard himself.
"Ah, thank you Kabuto. I wish to speak to our newest... subject... alone if you will."
I went wide eyed and hid behind Kabuto as I screamed, "Ahh he's going to kill me!" Ok maybe I was overacting, ,or maybe I was finally losing it but I had said it so... goodbye life.
Oroachimaru frowned deeply and Kabuto threw me into the room. I landed on my butt and I didn't know what to do.
I stood and he said nothing, a moment later he said, "Your chakra had a unique feel to it. In fact it leaves an interesting residual energy behind." great he's molesting my chakra - wait, I have that? "And it may be perfect for my next body."
Oh that's just great.
Juugo
I waited.
The girl whose name I didn't know hadn't shown up yet but I should wait right? I couldn't leave the girl out here during the night. Maybe I could meditate a little longer while I wait.
I guess I could go back to where I was I continue what I had been doing.
As I started to walk, I started thinking of the strange girl.
She had insulted Sasuke straight to his face, yet she had hugged me with a wide smile on her face.
Me, a monster like me. Why would she do that? After all, Sasuke seems to get most of the attention anywhere. I don't mind, of course, but I don't understand.
It was clear there was nothing romantic about the hug but more as if she were a long lost friend.
When I was done for the second time the girl was still not at the base entrance. Maybe she had gotten lost? I'm not sure if anyone else will truly care whether or not she comes back, but I know the shark man will be very upset if he learns I had not brought her back after I had let her outside.
I waited until the sun had gone down. When there was no sign of her I decided I should maybe ask the animals. One of the birds in the sky may have seen her. I waited calmly for one to fly down close enough for me to talk to.
"Have you seen a girl? About five six with brown hair and brown eyes?"
There was the high pitched whining that would normally fall on deaf ears but were as clear as day to me.
"No sir I haven't! No sir nope. I was just flying and going on my way! I could ask if you want! Yes I'll do that you just wait here!" the bird hopped about in frantic motions and I watched as the small bird flew away. A few moments later a raven landed on the branch a few feet from me.
"Brown hair and brown eye? I believe I have seen her. Flew past a girl with that description in the trees. She was smiling and about to fall asleep. Right over in those woods down that path."
I was told by Sasuke not to go down that path. That could mean one of two things, the girl was in trouble, or possibly capture. I opened the door to the base. I needed to tell the others. I went straight to Madara first.
Madara
I listened as Juugo told me about Kisu. "All right then, go find Zetsu and tell him to come here. It may not seem like it, but she could be very useful to the Akatsuki." Yes a fine tool she will make as well.
Her chakra, I am positive she is not fully aware of it herself, is very... strong should I say? It gives off an energy that is still felt even after I placed a charka restraint jutsu on her.
Something about it screamed for use. I immediately knew that she had gone when she left the premises of the hideout. While the others are detectable, hers was either there, or it wasn't.
Besides that, it actually left a taste in my mouth. A sweet, sugary taste that left me surprised. Ever since we had reentered our world again I had found that factor quite entertaining. Unless your Samehada, chakra isn't supposed to have a taste.
At first I had not wanted her, but then I sensed her sweet chakra when I was leaving Konoha. I had learned from the others as well that the jutsu had placed them all in their home villages.
But the more I thought about it the more willing I was to let her stay. So long as she does what I say, she can live. I do, however, need to worry about her overthrowing me
I, Uchiha Madara, have heard of many high scaled jutsu, but I have never heard of the Jikan Ryoko jutsu. At first I thought it was a mere thought, simply passing through her mind. But when I found myself laying on the grounds just outside the Konoha gates a moment later, I figured I was back in my own world.
I saw the hand movement she made, my sharingan had copied it, but when I reenacted the moves, nothing had happened.
That's when I knew the girl could be of use.
I need to keep her here and contained. Perhaps somewhat happy as well so she won't look for revenge and what not. I need to keep her away from Konoha and more importantly, Oroachimaru. In which I fear, is where she may be.
Also, in order to keep this insignificant child happy I will have to try and keep Kisame alive. That shouldn't be too hard I believe.
Something flashed through my memory that always makes me a bit happier. It was something she had said to me after she had come back from work and I had been taped to the ceiling for the fourth time.
"How the hell do you deal with all this shit throughout the day? This is like, what the fourth time? That Deidara has duct taped you to the ceiling. Good thing I'm not you or else the Akatsuki would all be dead my now."
I chuckled. She could be quite amusing at times however one wrong move and I will no longer tolerate her.
Right at that moment Zetsu entered the room, I was pleased to see he had come so quickly.
"Yes? What is it"
"I need you to find Kisu."
Zetsu
"I need you to find Kisu."
"That girl sir? Why."
I heard Madara sigh. "Because it looks like she has gotten away from us. First check Oroachimaru's hideout because that's where I believe she is."
"very well."
I left the room. How in gods name did that little girl get out of the base? Sure she has chakra and such but for one, she has no idea how to get out, and two, I doubt she even knows how to use it.
Hopefully we can find her quickly and get back to the base. I don't want to out all night searching for the child. She was a unique so if I track her by chakra I should be able to find her quickly.
"You think he'll want us to eat her once were through with this?"
"Most likely not. I wouldn't mind a bite but if Madara wants her alive then so be it. We may get her after words."
I grunted, "yeah whatever."
I ran into Sasuke and my train of thoughts were disrupted. "Hello Sasuke."
Sasuke said nothing but then he still asked,
"Where are you going. You look like your leaving."
"I'm going to find Kisu. Somehow the little brat got out."
Sasuke turned fully to me, "I saw Juugo take her outside when she asked for a walk. Go ask him." with that he turned and left.
I shrugged and went outside. The moon-dappled forest was quite beautiful at this time of night, but I had to the mission going, I could already sense her chakra and I fallowed it. It lead me down a path that was nearly three miles from the base. Traveling underground helped shorten the time.
As soon as I stepped out onto the path though, I could sense there was a genjutsu surrounding the current area.
Sasuke
I turned fully to Zetsu, "I saw Juugo take her outside when she asked for a walk. Go ask him." with that I turned and left.
So Kisu was her name then. Hn.
She was such a strange girl. I am surprised she is not dead yet, by either me or one of the other Akatsuki. She shouldn't be alive though, she must have known Itachi or else she wouldn't have poked me the way she had.
Why did she do that? It irritates me to no end that she had done it, not only without fear, but also along with words that sunk deep into my mind.
It makes me wonder, how does she know so much about me. She seemed to know my exact thoughts.
That's it, I need to talk to this Kisu character. After a decent conversation I can get the answers I require and I will be able to kill her with ease.
I can sense her chakra, it leaves a very interesting and not-so-subtle path to fallow. I'm going to fallow it. I want to get to her first. Before Madara, and before the shark-nin could even know.
Her insult was floating through my head. I could almost heat taunting me all over again. And yet, she used the one thing that could hurt me against me. The one thing that had meaning, no one else except for Itachi had known about. So I need to know why she had done it. How she knew.
I need to know why she had poked me the way my nii-san had.
Kisame
The air was different.
Even Samehada had stopped wriggling around when she left.
I saw her leave with Juugo. To be honest I felt a spark of jealousy but I had heard her say she wanted to for a walk. But still, she had given the orange haired man a hug.
I should go find her. Really I should but I guess I could let her have her walk. But I swear if she doesn't come back I will cut something to ribbons.
Some time passed and I was getting restless. How long does it take for one girl to have a quick walk?
While I waited a bit longer I hadn't realized I had dozed off until I heard the door open. I saw Juugo walk in.
By himself.
I was about to throttle that orange bastard for leaving Kisu out there but then I saw him go into the Mizukage's room. I hid my chakra and walked by.
"All right then, go find Zetsu and tell him to come here. It may not seem like it, but she could be very useful to the Akatsuki."
I heard some shuffling and I ducked as Juugo exited the room. I was about to leave but I think I heard Zetsu coming. I stayed where I was and continued to eavesdrop.
"Yes? What is it"
"I need you to find Kisu."
"That girl sir? Why."
I heard a sigh. "Because it looks like she has gotten away from us. First check Oroachimaru's hideout because that's where I believe she is."
"very well."
I watched as Zetsu exited and I panicked.
Oh god not that pedophile snake! I wouldn't be so worried with Konoha or some rogue-nin, I could easily slit their throats in the night and get her back. But that freak? If she is of interest to him he may try to put that Kami-damned curse mark on her. I can't let that happen.
I immediately left the base and fallowed her chakra signature.
South of the base I found her chakra had branched off down a path into a forest. Immediately I sensed the genjutsu placed upon the area.
I broke the illusion just enough so I could find my way through.
Looking around, I found nothing. I was getting frustrated. When I find that guy I'm going to kill him. No, kill is an understatement, in fact, it's the understatement of the year. I was going to cut him into little bite sized pieces of snake, then I was going to-
"And what are you doing all the way out here at this time of night?" I whirled around at the voice but realized it was directed at me.
"Not a thing, just going for a midnight stroll if that isn't too much." My breath hitched in my throat and I was relieved to hear she hadn't gotten caught. But that other voice… I growled.
Looking over the edge of a cliff I was on I saw them, "Hmm, I see. Your chakra is very out of control and I was able to sense you quite easily, perhaps you should go to where you came from unless your looking for misfortune?"
"yeah I know um, yeah so by."
"I sense something else as well but I can't place it. I've never felt it before, tell me child, what abilities do you posses?"
"uh I don't know goodbye Kabuto." I was surprised she knew his name but I remembered that we were merely a show to her.
I mentally face palmed as I saw Kabuto strike her neck silently and she began to fall while he caught her lightly.
"You will make an interesting subject for lord Oroachimaru."
Oh shit. I needed to-
Kabuto was already gone by the time I had stood and rushed forward. Damn. I didn't know the bastard could move that quickly.
First things first though, I needed to find his hideout and save Kisu before something bad happens.
I'm dreading the idea that I won't find her again anytime soon. I pushed the thought out though, I need to concentrate and find her. Without help.
"Kisu," I whispered, "I will find you."

For Zetsu's inner thoughts, I feel it would go the same way he thinks.
