Sasuke and Aegis was inside the hunters headquarters. Both were very stealthy. When a guard or someone in the facility walk towards them they hide in the shadows. Aegis had trouble because of his side, the halls were quiet narrow and he have to really blend into the wall but he manage.
Aegis took a whiff at the air and stopped. Sasuke was several paces ahead when he notice this. He turned around, he saw Aegis turning his head from side to side sniffing.
Sasuke couldn't help but ask "What is it?"
"I smell father. He's close." Aegis answer.
Sasuke nodded "You go find him and take him away from here."
"What about you?"
"I'll go ahead. I'm going to get the humans who did this."
Aegis nodded in understandment "I understand, once I get father out of here I'll come back with Sirius."
Sasuke started walking as if he didn't hear him but Aegis knew he did. Aegis swiftly ran to the direction his father scent came from.
Sasuke hid through the shadows, avoiding attraction. He spotted a door at the far end of the hall. He slowly crept at the door, it was ajar. He try to peek through the small opening of the door but it was dark, he couldn't see anything. His fingertips touch the door, he slowly open it. The light from the hall fill the room.
He entered the room looking around. He saw pictures hung around the walls, a bed was on the far left corner of the room, a desk was right beside the bed. Papers were scattered all over the desk. What caught his attention was the photo that was on top of the desk. He slowly picked it up and brought it closer. It showed a woman which Sasuke thought was beautiful, she was holding a small child bundle in blankets. She wore a beautiful smile. On her right was an older man that had an arm wrapped around her shoulder, he was smirking. In between them was a small boy maybe around 6. He wore a brilliant smile.
"I see that you found you're way in." A voice said behind him.
Sasuke quickly turned but it was too late everything went black.
What's taking them so long? Sakura muse.
Sirius looked at Sakura worried expression. "Don't worry, if I know my brothers they will be victorious."
Sakura gave him a small smile, she appreciate his effort in calming her down. She walk over to him and gently scratch behind his ears.
Sirius put his head closer to her to encourage more scratching. Sakura gave a soft laugh and continued scratching. She will believe what Sirius said and hope for the best.
Aegis was smelling around the hall pinpointing his father's scent. He was fortunate that no humans was in this hall. The hall had no turns or a good hiding spot for him.
A scent hit his nose, his ears perk up and his noise went to the air. It was his father's scent!
He trotted towards the direction it was coming from. He slowed to a walk when he reach the end of the hall. Only one door was in the vicinity. The door was cracked open, he used his nose to push it open. The door creaked open.
Aegis was shock at what he saw. His father was in a too small of a cage. It only had enough room for him to lay down.
"Father." Aegis whispered.
Thaddeus raised his head a little, his eyes were gloomy and Aegis could see how skinny he really was now.
Thaddeus spotted his son and perked a little.
"Aegis." He said in a horse whisper.
Aegis was happy to see his father again and quickly ran to his cage.
"Aegis what are you doing here?" Thaddeus asked becoming a little energetic.
"To save you." Aegis answer. "Sasuke came in here as well."
Thaddeus look at his son with sad eyes. "I see."
Aegis didn't understand his statement and was about to ask, when everything turn black. All he heard was his father shouting his name and barking aggressively.
Sasuke woke up. He was about to raise his head when a wave of dizziness hit him. He quickly put one of his hand on the bed for support and the other was holding his head.
"I see that you are awake." A snake like voice said.
Sasuke slowly turn his head, his hand still resting on his head.
"Who are you?"
The pale man just smile and replied "My name is Orochimaru and I know everything about you, Sasuke."
Sasuke narrowed his eyes "How do you know my name?"
"Because he knows our parents." Another voice said.
Sasuke saw a figure come out of the shadows.
"You." He growled.
Itachi just stared at him through his red eyes. He remain impassive.
"You don't seem shock about the news." Itachi said.
Sasuke just glared at him "Because you are not my family. My family died by your hands."
"The wolves were not your family by blood. You should know the difference between you and them."
Sasuke kept quiet. He knew the difference but he wanted to deny it. He will not believe that he is in the same species with the humans who murder his pack and other creatures in the forest.
"I will never be one of you."
"Hn. If that is true then why do you keep that pink haired girl around."
Sasuke was shock when he heard that. He then glared at him. "Leave her alone."
"We could have, if you didn't interfere."
Sasuke didn't understand his statement. Heck he didn't even know how this guy know Sakura.
Itachi could see the question in his eyes. "Just let say that our guys who was going to question her heard from her mom that she ran away. Her windows was open. It was quiet convenient for you, right Sasuke?"
Sasuke growled. "You better not touch her."
"You cannot command me."
Sasuke quieted himself as to not provoke them into doing something to Sakura. "What is it that you want?"
Orochimaru smile at Sasuke's submission. "Nothing much. I just want you to join our organization."
Sasuke glared "Over my dead body."
Orochimaru frown, not liking his answer. He raised his hand signaling Itachi to leave. Itachi quietly walk out not showing any form of respect for Orochimaru.
"Sasuke you really don't want me to force you. I did it with Itachi."
This caught Sasuke attention "What do you mean?"
Orochimaru smirk at his attention, he is finally getting somewhere. "Let just say that I hold someone he truly care for hostage and I will do the same to you if you don't join."
Sasuke was shock, he thought Itachi was doing this on his free will but apparently he's not. He was force to. An image of Sakura smiling pop in his head.
Sasuke sigh. He looked directly into Orochimaru eyes not even flinching when he saw the golden slit eyes. "What do you want from me?"
