Apron-Sting: : A Failed Weapon

Chapter 12

For hours, simply contemplating, Karin sat in the vast darkness of her room, on how make the right move. She recalled the meeting Sasuke had called just after Kyuubi had left for his solo mission-after all, the redhead had been the only one missing. Now she better understood what Sasuke wants her to do without any hesitation on her part, and she will carry out her part, if only to save him and everyone else here from this sickened man. Even if it means she has to risk her own life, because as much as she liked anyone else, even Sasuke, without Tayuya, her life had lost meaning. Like a part of her had been torn away from her life.

'Tayuya' Karin knows that she will never forget Tayuya, something she will have to live with or maybe she might be joining her soon. Karin is no fool, she knows what she is about to do is dangerous; nothing good comes out of something without first paying a price. She wants no more deaths, the pain and suffering they all went through should be enough, but no, Danzo just had to have a hidden agenda. That is why, it was necessary that they eliminate him-Permanently. Even if he is their creator, he should have known better than to oppress them.

He should have known better than to think he was God, and someone above them. He should have known better than to create weapons he knows were not under his total control without external help. His control was slipping. She didn't know if Danzo realized that yet, or if he was simply stupid enough to believe that he had a chance to actually continue controlling them.

Getting up she decides to freshen up, its time she made her move, and she hoped nothing went wrong. She couldn't afford to let anything go wrong. Moving quietly into her small bathroom, she washed her face, and looked over her appearance. She was ready. She moved out of the bathroom and quickly walked past her room; her door opened, and walked out with determination. She walked down the dark corridor deciding to drop by Juugo and Kimimaro's room before doing anything.

Juugo rarely left the room, since he had a hard time with his power, but otherwise those two are inseparable, ever since they first came to be they have been together, they shared a room and always did everything together. One did not go where the other could not, and that was why they were never sent out, but Danzo liked to study that closeness, one he could never grasp. Somehow, Karin got the vibe that they sometimes held a deep secret, one that can never be discovered or else something bad could happen. Karin cannot imagine one being without the other, only because that is all she has ever seen; them together.

Getting back to the point, they both knew of Sasuke's plan to get themselves out of Danzo's hands and Karin knew Juugo would support Sasuke. Reaching their room, she took a deep breath and then knocked lightly on their door she waited for one of them to open. It was Juugo. He was a much stronger front, and a good choice to open the door in case it would be Danzo.

Juugo, just looking at her, knew Karin would never be the same; her eyes were empty and all that could be seen was the sheer determination to accomplish the mission. Only to those close to her would be able to tell. "Please, come in." He murmured stepping aside to let her in. he then closed the door behind her, noting Kimimaro meditating on the room floor, she took a seat on one of the chairs. Juugo walked over to Kimimaro, sitting beside him, he leaned in and whispered something in his ear that made the silver haired male open his eyes. His startling green eyes regarded her, and he nodded, that was when they got down to business, as Kimimaro got a barrier around the room, in case they were heard.

They needed to make sure Danzo did not have a clue of what was to come.

"Alright, knowing how Sasuke is in a mission, first priority would be to rid ourselves of the leash Danzo has on us without him noticing. This so called earring he has placed on us is bothersome." Karin's emotionless voice echoed slightly through the room as she fingered the chip on the side of her ear lobe. It didn't hurt her like it did the others, but it still hurt her. Kimimaro was not surprised at her tone, being front row center to her pain had not been on his agenda, he couldn't sympathize with her but he felt somewhat sad for her, he knew what she had lost.

He hoped that nothing ever made him lose Juugo, he was his world, his everything, and most important, his mate. While everyone in this messed up organization was too fearful to even go behind their Masters back, other had the idea that to formulate a plan to get out was utter disgust. Did they like watching their loved ones die in front of them? It was pitiful. However, it was clear, Karin was ready to go all out now that she no longer held fear, and with Juugo by his side, he did not fear at all. They were ready, even if Sasuke was not here. Deciding to voice his thoughts, he made his own plans and planned to carry them out.

"Danzo has become too comfortable with owning obedient 'pets' it's the time where he will be distracted most, he also does not have the man Kyuubi was meant to kill, that has him aggravating the most." Kimimaro could not help but think what was outside this pain of darkness that would cause Kyuubi to fail, he was after all one of the strongest fighters Danzo has. Even so, they still did not clue him in on this plan Kyuubi could be too reckless.

"Karin, when Danzo is in his room fitfully asleep shall you sneak into the office and get any form of information, the more the better. Main target of information we need is how to destroy these things in out ear, they are bothersome." Karin nodding at Kimimaro's suggestion seemed the right choice; she was smaller than both men were, and more agile. Her perfect control in hiding her aura was also exceptionally well. She was perfect for the job.

"Juugo, you will try to find anyone in this hell who wants to break free, and is willing to help, and those who are not-kill them. They will stand in our way when the time comes to take down Danzo, but when Danzo least expects it; we shall rain havoc on this plane and destroy any evidence of their ever being anything down here. No more, no more beings created and ripped from their mothers and no more fighting." Juugo agreeing with his mate found he could only agree with him, Juugo was not a fighting person at all, oh, he had power, the power he had; but he was mostly for peace, he has created for wrong purposes and that did not bold well with his nature.

He was more of a pacifist, if you will, but if his Kimimaro asked him, for him and his well being he would do anything.

"I will" Juugo nodded. That was when Kimimaro stood up.

"Now, that we have that settled, I will talk with Kyuubi and try to keep his reckless behavior in check. He will be the key to bringing down Danzo. Sasuke has already given me new information of the Serum that Danzo shoots into our systems, and how careless he has gotten about it since he placed these things on our ears." Kimimaro walked over to the small marbled desk, and sat down on the edge, his hand over a paper. "I have to warn you both, Danzo might not be just an old man anymore, within his research of us, he has also shot himself to become stronger than us to better control us…but there is a flaw. He's only human, altering just one letter in his DNA the wrong way, could kill him."

"Altering DNA?" Karin asked.

Kimimaro nodded "As Embryos, when he first tested on us, we were easily manipulated, and even added a more complex code to our own genetic makeup of DNA, and I have tested what that is. It's irreversible, of course, but-It can't work for an already form body. Once in the prenatal development, when we reach the fetus stage, is where everything starts becoming permanent, meaning, Danzo took advantage of the Critical period in our development. At this time, certain internal and external influences have a major effect, otherwise any other time, it would be minimal" Kimimaro raised a small tube. It was clear that Danzo had wasted his life in researching this and creating his own weapons that life for him was now running thin just as he got it perfect.

"What is that?" Karin asked.

"My blood," Juugo responded. Kimimaro nodded.

"As Sasuke asked, I know how now using Juugo's blood, how to severely alter Danzo's experiments. How to create the perfect parasite" Kimimaro raised some clear viles "but it's still developing, once finished, I will need to slip it to him, or inject him with it, to break down the buildup he has been creating for his body" Kimimaro sighed. It was one of the reasons why their room was off limits to everyone, "We'll take him down" Karin nodded, a smirk on her face. It was perfect. Get Danzo back with his own wishes of experimentation.

What the three did not know was that, there were more of them outside, powerful beings that are the originals, the ones who first became what they are today. Danzo will have a rude awakening, and then shall he regret the day he ever decided to mess with mother earth.

Help from the outside was coming they were not alone.

Outside

Sasuke could not believe it, without trying, he had found himself an Itachi. Well basically, THE Itachi, he had been looking for. 'So, that's what an Itachi looks like' he vaguely thought to himself. His deep black and fathomless eyes stared at him, in slight awe. This is not what he had expected to act like when he first laid eyes on Itachi, his older brother. Even so, he cannot take his eyes from him, and Itachi was in the same state. From both of them, Itachi was the first to speak. "What…what did you just say?" Damn, Itachi felt so flustered and could not believe he would even stutter.

Sasuke bit into his lower lip and kept himself from saying much, as he scoffed and looked away, his eyes narrwoed. "Mother…mentioned you before she died, is all" Itachi's eyes were wide, for only a split second, before he made a move to get closer to Sasuke. Sasuke turned back to look at Itachi then, but was startled to find Itachi close. His heart gave a kick, and his skin started to heat up at the close proximity.

"What's your name?" Itachi softly asked, as he reached out to touch the blood that flowed from the boy's soft lips and trickled down his chin. Sasuke felt his lip tremble under the soft touch, his mind consuming it all. It was too much and all too at once not enough. All too sudden he felt a sharp pain race from the lobe of his ear, and through every nerve in his skull.

"Sasuke," he gasped, something within him rushing in adrenaline, excitement, and a need to be close to this being…it was an undeniable call and desire that welled into his chest. However, all too soon it was over, as it started to build a strain in his mind. "Ah," he pressed a hand to his ear, his eyes widening. No…he had been so caught up he forgot. So caught up with meeting Itachi, needing him close, that for a second he had forgotten the hold Danzo had on him, his nerves felt like fire had pierced his veins and had his blood boiling, searching for an exit. His head felt full, and he felt like he was going to die.

Itachi was startled, suddenly seeing the beauty before him in pain he could not help but feel such righteous anger, who'd dare hurt the being before him, who haunted his every thought, calling him as a moth to a flame. And even now, he still reached out. Calling upon his inner powers, he grabbed a hold of his 'little brother' crushing him into his chest, the boy was whimpering in pain and his skin felt hot. His power gently pushed into his brother, searching for what was causing him pain. Itachi found that every neuron within his brother was popping in unpredictable sequences, rushing to his brain, and exploding pain through his small frame. Basically, a huge disruption of his nervous system. Once Itachi found his way to concrete setting of his baby brother's pain, a small chip on the lobe of his ear, was he faced with a dilemma.

Itachi could not simply destroy what was woven so messily into his brother, Itachi could tell that it was forced and an unwanted object. Growling at that thought he focused on another way to protect what was now his, because God knows, nothing will take Sasuke away. Belonging to Itachi was inescapable.

Finally getting his power in firm control, he began to weave it around his Sasuke's nerves almost like a barrier, protecting the thing from creating more damage. Sasuke, on the other hand, felt as though he were being ripped to shreds. Never had he felt such immense pain before and from within only made it worse. His skull was literally throbbing almost as if someone was crushing his skull. Feeling Itachi's arms around him made him feel safe, protected, and another emotion within him that he himself could not describe, but were overridden by the pain. He wanted someone to stab him, kill him, and place him out of his misery.

But then he felt his own power being woven with another, and a strong connecting was pulled from deep within him.

"Itachi" Sasuke could not help but whimper his brother's name in a silent plea to rid him of the pain, the pain he is in now. His was shaking now, wanting to voice to Itachi to kill him, but it hurt to even talk as his throat ached and felt tight, it made it hard to breathe. It was all in his power not to start screaming his head off, but he could no longer hold it as his head was thrown back and he allowed a harsh scream of pain to push past his lips.

Itachi kept his now thrashing little brother tightly to his chest, and brought a hand up when he once more set his eyes on the malevolent chip. It was well constructed, as he could see, deeply woven into his brother's ear. It would no doubt crush Sasuke if he did not rid of it…he studied it, over Sasuke's scream, as he tried to concentrate. It had a tracker, and the technology was deeply developed. There was no way to tell how it was wired, so he had to be careful as he broke the top of it, slicing it off. The steal seemed unbreakable, but not with the control Itachi had on his power as he held Sasuke in place as best, his hand coming up to cup his chin so he wouldn't hurt him, or cut him.

Once he saw the wiring, he slashed through the main central of it, and the chip stopped working, sending a minor shock wave that he quickly stopped with his powers so it wouldn't hurt Sasuke even more. Sasuke's screams became silenced, and Itachi dislodged the chip completely from Sasuke's ear crushing it between his fingers, revealing nine tiny little holes grounded on the soft lobe. Leaning in, Itachi licked his tongue over the hurt and abused lobe, healing it as he did, but then noted that Sasuke had gone limp in his arms. He looked over at him, seeing that Sasuke had gone unconscious. Itachi pushed him a little away from him to better scoop his entire body into his arm and carry him bridal style, as he descended down onto the ground, with his precious one carried in his arms.

"Sasuke!" Suigetsu cried, and rushed over to look at his leader to see if he was all right. "What happened?" he asked, but did not move too close when he saw Itachi's glare. He was shocked to see this man looked so much like Sasuke.

"Itachi" Kisame came close, and looked at the boy in Itachi's arms. Itachi on the other hand studied Suigetsu and saw the same chip in his ear, racing a hand; he sent some of his power in a small slash and cut its top. Suigetsu suddenly gasped, and started to scream as the shock got to him, and Itachi walked over to him, to finish dislodging the chip and crushed it like the other one. Suigetsu then fell unconscious. "What the hell Itachi!" Kisame growled in anger, as he had rushed in time to catch Suigetsu before he completely hit the ground. Kisame glared and Itachi shrugged.

"I had to get rid of it; otherwise, they would be tracked and controlled. Come, let's head back" Kisame nodded in understanding as he looked over Suigetsu to see him breathing easily and snuggling to him. He was fine. Of he hadn't been he would have so kicked Itachi's butt.

With that, he followed behind Itachi, back to their cabin. But one thing plagued his mind, where they going to tell Pein about these two boys? if they did, what would be his reaction. Not a good one, he feared.

Just as they were in the middle of plotting, Karin and Kimimaro found themselves suddenly called into Danzo's office. The man was completely unaware of everything that was happening, as he tried to ram on with his plan. As soon as he had his two pets before him, he said.

"I have another mission to be carried out; you will leave as soon as Sasuke and Suigetsu return. I want you to prepare for it. This one is to collect an item. A jewel" Danzo placed down a photo of what looked like a diamond, and then of a place. The diamond was, crested in what looked to be a ring, "I want you, Kimimaro, and Karin, to go out and get this diamond from this ring. Kill anyone in your way, do what you have to do, but I want it" Getting a nod from Kimimaro and Karin he grinned, "You are dismissed."

Both Karin and Kimimaro walked out of his office, and ran.

Danzo on the other hand smirked. Yes, he would never send Kimimaro on a mission seeing as he had a closeness to Juugo who tended to lose control of his powers when Kimimaro was to far away. But that was what he was hoping for. He wanted Juugo to get out of control.

Once back at the cabin, Itachi walked to his makeshift bed and sat down, with Sasuke tightly still held in his arms and settled him on his lap. His eyes watched Sasuke evenly breathe in and out, light puffs. He took in Sasuke's white clothing, and then turned him, so his back was pressed to his chest, and he buried his head into the crook of his neck. He breathed in deeply, and his own energy began to seek out Sasuke's weakened one.

He wasn't sure what had happened, when his energy had reached out to try and sooth Sasuke, his own aura had been gripped in return by Sasuke's and he felt a pull. Something in that moment changed between the two of them and Itachi was not sure what that was. He had never felt something like that before.

All he knew that right now the thought of having to let Sasuke go or even moving away from him, killed him. There was no way he was going to be letting go of Sasuke, and there was no way he could even bring himself to lose any contact with him. He needed to hold him.

"Itachi?" Kisame asked as he walked in as well, still keeping the sleeping white haired male to him. He was worried about Suigetsu still being unconscious, and to be able to feel him breathe and warm, made all the difference for him.

"Hm, what?"

"What are we going to do, when Pein finds out about them?" Kisame had his hands tightly around Suigetsu, never wanting to let him go. He also didn't want anyone dictating against him and what he felt for Suigetsu.

Itachi peaked up from Sasuke's neck and looked at Kisame, tightening his hold on Sasuke "He doesn't need to know, right away. And I won't allow him to touch Sasuke" his arms possessively wrapped themselves around Sasuke's small waist even more.

"And what if they don't want to stay and continue to do what they were doing?" Kisame asked, and Itachi stayed silent for a moment. When Sasuke woke up, he wasn't sure what he was going to want.

"I don't know."
