Disclaimer: I don't own the Anime/Manga Naruto. I do how ever own the idea of this FanFict. And also the characters Yoh, Mifuyu, and Seta Chiba.
Thanks to all of my reviewers! I love you all.
A/N: I had Chapter 12 posted already, but I forgot to add a semi-important part to it, so I deleted the chapter and re-added it. Just thought I'd let you know.
From, Ariana.
" Mm! That sure was good! " Seta said while patting his stomach with a smile on his face.
" It sure was. Especially since we was able to have a second helping. " Kiba patted his stomach too. Akamaru barked while slicking his chops. (( A/N: xD I think 'chops' is a funny word. Just thought I'd share that with you all... sorry. ))
" You've really out done your self, Hinata-chan. "
Hinatas' fingers fidgeted together in her lap. " T-thanks. But Yoh-kun helped m-me make dinner, s-so all the credit sh-shouldn't go to me. "
Sasuke and Kiba grunted, meaning 'I'm not going to say thanks to that ass hole', or, 'I'm not going to say how good it was now'.
" That was very good, Yoh-chan. I'm sorry that I asked you to help Hinata-chan with dinner, but I had to run an errand. "
" I told you, don't worry about it grandma. " Yoh smiled at Mifuyu. " I don't mind helping out. " His smile turned into a smirk as his gaze shifted from Mifuyu to Sasuke. " Besides, I love spending time with Hinata-chan. " Yoh nudged Hinata who was sitting next to him. " Isn't that right, Hinata-chan? "
Hinata blushed a deep red while bowing a little, letting her bangs cover her face. " R-right. "
Yoh's smirk widened when Sasuke glared harder at him. " Well, I think I'm going to go work on my bow again for a little. " Yoh got up from his seat then stretched.
" Ok, but don't stay out to late, Yoh-kun. It's supposed to get real cold tonight. "
" I know, I know. I won't be out to long. " Yoh moved behind Hinata, then loosely wrapped his arms around her shoulders. He then bent his head down so his mouth hovered next to her ear and her hair covering his lips. After a few hushed whispered words from Yoh, and a few nods from the tomato colored Hinata, Yoh removed his hands then stood up straight. " Well, later. " Yoh said to the group of people. With that, Yoh went out of the back door, closing it quietly behind him.
Hinata went back to eating her first plate of food, completely ignorant of all the eyes on her.
" Well? " Kiba was the first to speak.
Hinata gazed up at every one at the table with her chop sticks still in her mouth. " Y-yes? "
Every body sighed as they sweat-dropped.
" What was that all about with Yoh? " Sasuke was the one to speak up now.
" O-oh. " Hinatas' gaze then dropped down to her bowl of white rice as she laid her chop sticks down on the rim of the bowl. " Anou, he w-was just reminding m-me about something. And um... I-I guess I should go-go ahead a-and get i-it over with. Anou, Kakashi-sensei? "
" Hm? " He glanced up at her from the rim of his book.
" C-can I talk to you... ? " Hinata seen the gazes every one (not including Kakashi) gave her saying 'Well, speak' " Anou... A-alone...? "
Kakashi stared at Hinata for a few seconds before smiling through his visible eye. " Sure. " He stood up while putting his book in to his pouch. " Lets talk in your room, that way we can talk freely and not have to worry about bothering any one from what is left of their meal. " (( A/N: That pervert!! Getting a little girl all alone in her room so no one would 'interrupt' them. xD ))
" Hai. " Hinata stood up from her chair before she bowed. " E-excuse me. "
" Of course, dear. " Mifuyu said before she gasped. " Oh, I forgot. While I was out, I bought a little cake. You two should hurry back down to get a piece. "
" We will. Thank you, Mifuyu-san. " Kakashi bowed slightly at Mifuyu, who gave him a nod. Kakashi then turned towards Hinata as he motioned for the stairs.
" Shall we? "
" Yes. "
Hintata walked up the stairs with Kakashi following her behind her to her room, leaving Mifuyu and Seta talking about their days, and Sasuke and Kiba giving each other a confused look.
The last thing that was heard in the small silent room was the soft 'click' from the door when it closed moments ago. Hinata sat on the edge of her bed, fiddling with her fingers, while Kakashi was leaning against the window sill. After a few minutes of awkward silence, Kakashi decided to break it.
" Just take your time, Hinata-chan. We're not in any kind of rush, ok? "
Hinata bowed her head, then took a deep breath, clearing away all of her jumbled thoughts. " Ok... anou... Earlier t-today, After Yoh-kun w-went out side after lunch, an-and I went out side to-to see what was wr-wrong with him, we, anou, talked about so-something... "
" What did you two talk about? "
" Anou... HeknowsaboutuscomingheretofindoutaboutGeneanthathefoundoutthatalotofpeoplearegettingmadthatyou'retryingtofindoutaboutGeneandGenedoesn'tlikeyoudoingthatsoYoh-kunsaidhe'llhelpusfindouteverythingweneedtoknowaboutGene. ((A/N: Yes, those are real words. )) " Hinata then clasped her hands together in prayer like gesture. " Please don't be mad at me! " She bowed her head low.
Kakashi blinked a few times. " Well... that's one way to say it... But can you please use a talking speed thats for humans? " Kakashi scratched the back of his head lazily. " I only got tid bits of what you said. "
Hinata sighed hoping that he would catch every thing she said. Taking another deep breath, Hinata started over, only going at a slower speed. " When I went to-to go find Yoh-kun, I asked him w-why he seemed so a-angry when he said t-the name Gene... " Hinata seen Kakashis' shadow on the floor nod, so she took another deep breath.
' I wonder what's taking so long? ' Sasuke glanced at the stairs before he glared at the small piece of cake that was laid on a small plate before him. No matter how much he told Mifuyu he didn't eat sweets, she still gave him a piece anyways. He glanced at the stairs once more before his attention was directed to the opening back door.
" Hey grandpa, have you seen my Allen... wrenches...? " Yoh's question came out with another question when he noticed Sasuke glaring at the un-eaten piece of cake. ' What is that all about... ? ' His eye brow raised in question.
" Yoh-kun, would you like some cake? " Mifuyu asked while getting up and cutting the cake already.
" Grandma, you know I don't eat swee-- " Yoh stopped as he glanced back at Sasuke. " Oh second thought, " he walked up to the seat he occupied a few minutes ago, the exact one that is placed in front of Sasuke, then sat down. " I think I will have a piece, thank you. " He smirked when he seen Sasuke's glare harden on the cake.
Kiba ruffled his hair with his hand. ' Not again... ' He sighed.
Hinata wiped away her unshed tears. " I-I promise, I didn't t-tell Yoh-kun any thing. I kept trying to li-lie and deny every thing, but he-he would see right thr-through them. " Hinata finally looked up at Kakashi and locked gazes with him. The only time she looked up at him was to see if he was following her with her story. What scared her the most was the fact that every time she would glance up at him, he never blink. Kakashi kept the same facial expression of boredom mixed with emotionless with his arms crossed loosely over his chest.
" I'm really sorry if I did say something to Yoh-kun about the mission, and didn't know it. And I'm sorry if I jeopardized the mission. If I did then send me back to Konoha so I won't ruin whats left of the mission. " The tears finally fell, but she still refused to show the weakness of looking away from Kakashi's gaze. Hinata didn't even notice she didn't stutter while saying her apologize and request. " Please. "
Kakashi stared at Hinata for a few minutes longer after she apologized. Pushing off of the window sill, Kakashi took a few steps before he crouched in front of the Hyuuga. Same facial expression etched across the visible part on his face, Kakashi raised his right hand bringing it slowly towards Hinata. Hinata flinched and closed her eyes, expecting him to punish her for Yoh finding out about the mission.
But instead of feeling any sort of pain, all she felt was a hand on top of her head. She opened her eyes slowly to find Kakashi smiling through his eye. Hinata's mouth opened in confusion while her eyes widened.
" Hinata-chan, you didn't do any thing wrong. Actually you helped. "
" H-helped? " Her eyes still wide.
" Yes. " Kakashi removed his hand from her head, stood up, then sat on the bed next to her. " I had a feeling Yoh already knew about the reason we were here. Not only that, but I had a feeling he knew about Gene. I just wasn't sure about how to go about finding it out. So instead of me asking him about it, you were the one who got the invitation with out even asking for it. "
" S-so... you're not mad at me? "
" Goodness no! " His hand found its way back on top of her head. " I know that even if you did say something about the mission with out knowing it, you didn't or wouldn't mean to do it. Plus how can I be mad that this little cute face, huh?! " Kakashi pinched both of Hinata's cheeks and slightly pulled them away from her face.
" R-really? " Hinata's voice was different from the fact that Kakashi was playing with her cheeks. (( A/N: That sounded... weird... I know. ))
" Yes, really. " Kakashi finally released Hinata's cheeks, making them bounce back with a red color covering them. " But if you do still feel bad about what happened, then can you do me a favor? "
" Yes. A-any thing. "
" Good! " Kakashi smiled widely. " But I'd actually like 2 favors from you. "
" What i-is it? " Hinata blinked.
" I want to know what actually happened to you last night, " Kakashi held up an index finger when he seen Hinata gape in horror. " and two, " he held up his other finger earning a more horror-ed look on her face. " I want to know why Sasuke is acting more of an... ass, if you will, then he normally is. "
" B-b-b-but-- "
" I want to know as a test of trust. A test to see if you'll actually trust me enough to tell me what happened last night, and a test on my part to see if I have that trust from you. "
Hinata nodded her head in defeat. " A-anou... c-can you p-promise me 2... no... 3 things before I-I start? " Hinata glanced at Kakashi through her bangs.
" Yeah. Shoot. " Kakashi nodded with his response.
" Ok... anou... First promise is to no-not laugh with what I'm about to say. "
" Ok, done. " He nodded again.
" Second promise is-is to not tell any o-one what I'm about to s-say. "
" Done. " Another nod.
" Last promise is to... not tell Sasuke about w-what I'm about... to... say... "
Kakashi resisted the urge to grin. Placing his right hand over his heart and raising his left hand, Kakashi looked at Hinata seriously. " I promise I won't laugh, I won't tell any one, and I especially won't tell Sasuke what I'm about to hear. "
Hinata sighed a few times before she took another deep breath. " When I left to look for Sasuke, I found him passed out under a tree in the forest unconscious. " Hinata seen Kakashi nod again in the corner of her eye telling her to continue. So she took another deep breath.
Electricity lit up the faces of Kiba, Mifuyu and Seta as Sasuke and Yoh glared at each other with their forks both skewered into the last piece of cake.
" Oh dear, thank goodness I decided to put aside 2 pieces of cake for Kakashi-san and Hinata-chan. " Mifuyu whispered to Seta who only nodded in response while trying to shield whats left of his cake from all the sparkes flying from Sasuke's and Yoh's glare.
Kiba ruffled his hair again and sighed. " I knew this was gonna happen. " Akamaru whimpered in arrogance.
" Let go of the piece, Chiba. " More lightening shot out of his glare.
" My fork was in it first, Slack-ass. You let go of it. " Yoh added the same equal amount of lightening in his own glare.
Every one sighed as they continued to watch the 2 glare each other to death.
" And anou... that's when... anou... he-he k-kissed... me... "
This time, instead of snickering like he did when Hinata said the part about her slapping Sasuke, and at the part where Sasuke said he liked her, Kakashi broke his promise by laughing out loud slapping his knee a few times.
Hinata hung her head lowly. She sighed for the 50th time in 2 minutes. " K-Kakashi-sensei... you promised... "
Kakashi still kept laughing. " I know, but I just never figured Sasuke to be one to be so... so... "
" Open? " Hinata already knew he wasn't going to so 'romantic', Sasuke and romantic should never really be in the same sentence... or Sasuke and puppies/kittens... they always tend to die when ever they would be mentioned in the same sentence.
" Yes. " Kakashi finally cut out his little laughing fit.
" I-I'm not s-sure i-if that's a g-good thing... or n-not... " Hinata hung her head lower as her shoulders slumped.
" True... " Sighing, Kakashi stared up at the ceiling.
" Anou... w-what should I do? "
Wide eyed, Kakashi dropped his head back to stare at Hinata. " Excuse me? "
Hinata stared at Kakashi through her bangs. " What should I-I do? I-I don't like h-him like he l-likes me, but I d-don't want to hurt h-his feelings. " Tears started to sting her eyes thinking about the fact that Naruto would most likely never like her like she likes him. Hinata didn't want for Sasuke to have the hurt feelings she did, but... then again... didn't Sasuke make every girl in Konoha have those kinds of feelings? But to make matters worse is the fact that Sasuke knows every girl likes him. Naruto on the other hand has no idea. It's very cruel to hurt some ones emotions like that...
" Uhh... " Kakashi tried to swallow his dry throat away. " What exactly are you asking me? "
" Well... " Hinata turned to stare at the cracks in the floor boards. " What should I-I do about S-Sasuke-kun? "
" Uhh... " He scratched the top of his head in a confused motion. ' Something like this did happened in Icha Icha... but... that lead to some thing else... actually a few some thing else's, and I think Hinata is to young to... ' " Just see how every thing plays out. I'm sure every thing will work out in the end. " ' Good save. Just stop thinking about resolutions from Icha Icha. '
" R-right. " Hinata nodded her head though she was hoping for a better response.
" Well, now that that's settled, can you go get Kiba and Sasuke so I can tell them about meeting Yoh-kun at 3am? "
" Sure. " Hinata stood up from the bed but stood still with her head lowered.
" Is something wrong? " ' Shit... is she not happy with my response? How the hell do I try to help her out with her little "problem" when I only know how to fix it Icha Icha style? I haven't had those kinds of problems, so I really have no idea how to fix it. ' Kakashi thought worriedly.
Hinata shook her head slowly before turning around and nearly glomping Kakashi in a hug.
Kakashi's eyes widened a fraction as he tensed at the sudden unfamiliar display of affection. He sat there as still as a statue with her little petite arms wrapped tightly around his torso and her small head against his chest. " Thank you... for every thing. " Kakashi heard her whisper against his chest. Understanding her small words, he loosened up a little, but was still tense, he lightly lifted his right hand and patted her back awkwardly a few times. " ...Any time, Hinata... " He whispered back in an equally quiet voice.
After a few more moments of hugging, Hinata finally released her hold while bowing slightly and whispering a few 'Sorrys' before leaving the room to get Kiba and Sasuke.
Still tense from the unfamiliar feeling, Kakashi sighed while half-heartedly staring at the ceiling. ' That wasn't awkward in the least... ' He sighed again as he closed his eyes.
(( A/N: I got the idea about Hinata telling Kakashi about Sasuke kissing her from Lil-Insanegal. xD Thank you for the idea, and I hope it was alright. ))
" Damn it, Slack-ass, I told you to let it go. " The words split out of clenched teeth.
" And I told you, I'm not letting go. "
Kiba sighed before banging his hands on the table. " Would you two grow up?! You've been saying the same thing for more then 10 freaking minutes now! "
" STAY OUT OF THIS!! " Sasuke and Yoh yelled at the same time as they turned their glare on Kiba, but since they both yelled and glared at the same time, it made them turn back to each other glaring harder.
Kiba sighed again as he slumped back into his seat. " I tried. " He mumbled to no one.
Suddenly, Yoh let go of his fork making Sasuke pull the badly damaged piece of cake towards him, shoving the piece in his mouth before Yoh tried to grab it away. Even though Sasuke hated sweets, he didn't want to lose to Yoh. Even if that meant he'd feel sick from all the cake, he didn't want to lose. With a smirk across his face, Sasuke looked up at Yoh to make his smirk more triumph with the fact that he had the last piece of cake, but his smirk turned to a frown when he seen Yoh staring behind him.
" Hey, Hinata-chan. "
Sasuke jerked his head around once Yoh said Hinata's name to see if she was really there.
" H-hi, Yoh-kun. " Hinata's normal blush was present as she stared at Yoh's eyes. Her gaze then dropped to Sasukes'. " A--anou... Sasuke-kun? "
Sasuke took a sharp in take of breath. " Yes? "
" Anou... y-you have... frosting... on your... anou... f-face... " Her words started to fade though Sasuke could still hear them.
' What? ' He touched the side of his face, bringing his hand back, Sasuke found a thick, sugary white substance on his fingers. ' That bastard. He did that so I would embarrass my self in front of Hinata. ' Sasuke turned back to Yoh slowly, showing a smirk across his features. ' I swear, I'm going to kill him soon. ' Sasuke thought darkly. " Thanks. " He muttered, wiping the frosting off of his face with a napkin.
" So did you finish taking to Kakashi-sensei, Hinata-chan? " Kiba asked, leaning back in his chair.
" Anou, y-yes. But, Kakashi-sensei would like to talk to you, Kiba-kun. Y-you too, Sasuke-kun. "
" Alright. Thanks for the heads up. " Kiba got out of the chair. " Lets go, Akamaru. " He patted the puppies head. " You coming, Sasuke? " Kiba asked as he started to walk up the stairs.
" Yeah, yeah. " He muttered while making sure all of the sickening sweet stuff was off of his face. Once he got to the stairs he turned around noticing Hinata wasn't following him. " You coming, Hinata? " He quirked an eye brow up.
" O-oh, no. I think h-he-- "
" Nah, she'll be fine here. I'll take good care of her while you're away, Slack-ass. So don't worry about her. " Yoh stated at he stood up from his seat, walked over to Hinata, then draped his arm across her shoulder. His smirk ever so present. " Just go see what Kakashi needs to talk to you about. " Yoh grinned wide this time. " Take your time. "
" Yoh-- " Sasuke said through clenched teeth but was cut off before he could tell him to 'fuck off'.
" Anou, I-I actually think I-I'm going to go take a bath, before it... anou... gets t-to late. "
Sasuke smirked but it soon dropped when Yoh towards Hinata then started talking again.
" You can take a bath later, Hina-chan. I was wondering if you could help me with my bow right quick. " Yoh held up both hands. " I need more then 2 hands. "
" Anou... sure. " Hinata nodded before walking out of the dining room with Yoh following behind her shortly.
Yoh stopped half way through the door. He turned, his smirk never once leaving his face. " Have fun, Slack-ass. I know I will. " Yoh closed the door before the 5 kunai Sasuke threw hit him.
" Sasuke, hurry your ass up! I'm tired of waiting already!! " Kibas' voice yelled from at the top of the stairs.
" Yeah, yeah! Don't get your panties in a knot! "
" Just get your ass up here already! "
" Yes, DEAR " Sasuke spat out while stomping up the stairs.
(Some time around 3:00 AM ) (( A/N: I decided to go ahead and skip what happened when Kakashi told Sasuke and Kiba about the whole Yoh thing. And also about what happened between the HinaYoh part. You aren't missing out on anything. The only thing that really would of happened was Kakashi explaining that they would talk to Yoh at 3am, blah blah blah. And Yoh would tell Hinata how she could help him on his bow. So yeah, you aren't missing out on anything. ))
" Alright, so I know you have some questions, so shoot. Just keep your voices down. I don't want for Mifuyu and Seta to wake up and hear us. " Yoh yawned out.
Kakashi raised an eye brow in question. " 'Mifuyu and Seta'? What happened to 'Grandma and Grandpa'? "
Yoh blinked a few times before sighing. " They aren't my real grandparents, but since they are looking after me, I decided to call them grandma and grandpa when ever referring to them. "
" Ah. Ok, on to the real question. What is Gene's plans? "
" Depends. "
" How so? "
" Gene is after alot of things. Gene already has half of the plans done. "
" What are the plans he already has done? "
" Well she already has hold of-- "
" Wait, wait, wait! " Kiba cut in. " You mean Gene is a she, and not a he? "
" Yes? I thought you all knew that. " Yoh raised a brow in question.
Kakashi uncrossed his arms. " No. We were told Gene was the grandson of Gato. Not the granddaughter. "
" No. I'm the grandson. Gene is the granddaughter. "
" Wait... WHAT?! That doesn't make sense! "
" So... are you and Gene siblings? Or cousins? " Sasuke finally spoke up.
" Siblings. I'm her junior by 5 years. "
" So... why does every one think she's a he? "
Yoh scoffed. " Well isn't that obvious, Slack-ass? Not alot of shinobi would bow down to a female leader. The male pride and ego wouldn't like to bow down to a woman. "
" S-so, the men working under h-her don't know she's a s-she? " Hinata's soft voice was heard.
" A few do. Just the ones she can trust know. "
" W-wait... " Hinata bit the tip of her thumb nail. ' I do hate Gene... ' " What you s-said back t-then today... that you hated G-Gene. Why do y-you h-hate your s-sister? "
" No. " Sasuke cut in. " More importantly, why the hell are you going to turn your back on your own sister to help us? How the hell do we know that you won't be setting us up? " His eyes narrowed on Yoh.
" I'd hate to admit it, but I agree with Sasuke. " Kiba crossed his arms while also narrowing his eyes at Yoh.
" Well I'll tell you Hinata-chan. " Yoh turned to Hinata, completely ignoring Sasuke's question, and Kibas' words, which earned him some scoff sounds from them. " We weren't from around here. My mother, Gato's daughter moved away with my father when they got married to the Land Hidden Under the Water. My father was the son to the Villages Leader, so it was obvious that they would move there, seeing as how dad was going to take over the leader-ship soon. They raised us there. Us being me, Gene, my other sister Chi, and my younger brother Goki. Chi was 2 years older then me, and Goki was 2 years younger then me. "
' So... back then when he was telling me about when we fought... he must of been use to telling his brother what to do, and did it out of instinct. '
' The Land Hidden Under the Water? Didn't that place get... Could he of been one of the ones that survived? ' Kakashi stared hard at Yoh.
" Goki followed me every where I went, did every thing I did. It was annoying, you know? But it still felt nice to have some one look up to you. " Yoh sighed leaning back in the stool he was sitting on against the work table
' Tch, I doubt Itachi felt that way. '
" Chi and I weren't really 'friends'. We got on each others nerves so bad, that we tend to either ignore each other, or just fight with one another. Now Gene on the other hand, since she was the first born, she was the Heiress to both of our parents success, so she was always busy training on one thing or another, so I never really got to know her. None of us siblings did. "
" When I was about 9 years old or so, there was a deadly virus going around the village, but they were getting an antidote for it. Mom, dad, Chi and Goki all caught the illness. But even though the antidote was on its way, mom didn't want to risk me or Gene to get sick, so she sent us to go live with her dad, Gato. We lived with him for a few weeks. The bastard didn't care about us, or should I say, he didn't care about any of the siblings besides Gene. I found it strange but passed that thought thinking he was only spoiling her because she looked like his daughter. "
Yoh shook his head getting rid of his thoughts. " Anyways, during those weeks, we always got letters from the family. Almost 3 letters a week. Then one week, they stopped coming. Then another week came and went, and still nothing. We would send letters, but never got a reply. Gene told me it was a waste of time to keep sending them, that they were all probably in the hospital getting the antidote treatment, so she just shrugged it off. I didn't see it as just that though. I could feel something was wrong. "
With another sigh, Yoh stretched him self as best he could in his stool, earning him a few pops and cracks. " Then about one day I was out in the village that was shortly from Gato's place, and heard a few people talking about my home village. Turns out that the Village Hidden Under the Quick Sand unleashed one of its deadliest viruses on my village. Apparently both villages were at war with each other. "
" Sad story, but what does this have to do with any thing? " Sasuke asked in a bored tone.
Once again, Yoh started talking, keeping his gaze on Hinata and ignoring Sasuke. " The virus that they unleashed didn't have an antidote for it just yet. It was in the making. So since there was no antidote, there was no way to stop it, meaning that every one who caught it died. A few handful of people survived, but most of the village was wiped out. Of course, once I found out, I told Gene about it. She seemed upset at first, but she really didn't seem to be to surprised about it. I wanted to know for my own self if what happened really did happen. So I left with out saying any thing to Gene or Gato. "
Yoh closed his eyes for a few seconds before opening them back up. " Once I seen for my self the damage that was delt, I started to research the virus as best I could. It didn't really make sense how a village that we were in war with could just release the virus so easily. They had to know the easiest spot to unleash the virus in, but the only place that they could of released it at was highly guarded... only a few people could go there. "
Hinata gasped wtih tears glistening in her eyes. " Don't tell me... "
" Yeah... turns out that the virus was brought from the Village Hidden Under the Quick Sand by Gato. Gene was the one who unleashed it in the main water stream of the village. "
" How did she get the virus? Or more importantly, why did she use the virus? " Kakashi was more then baffled.
" Gene always wanted to run Gato's company. Our home village was poor, most of the people there barely made it by, but every one was happy. Gene on the other hand felt she deserved better. She looked down on every one. But since she was the first born, and she was born and raised in the village, it was already decided who was going to take over the village once dad retired. The village had more rights over her then Gato. "
" So she did it to get rid of her responsibility's? And Gato was more then happy to help? " Kiba sounded dumb-founded.
" No. Gato found it was a win-win. He would make in a killing from the Sand village. They paid him to set the virus free in the village. And Gato would get the Heiress he always wanted. So really it was more like Gene was more then happy to help. " Yoh said with a sigh.
" What did you do after you found out? "
" I confronted Gene about it. She told me she didn't know it was a deadly virus that she released in the stream, that Gato said it was something to make the water have more energy. But when I told her that we needed to run away from Gato, she refused. She said 'What's the point? We have no where to go. Here, we have a roof over our heads, food, and beds. What's the point of leaving here and have to fend for our selves? We have every thing here.' When she told me that, I knew for sure she was lying about not knowing it was a virus. So I ran here. Mifuyu and Seta were friends with my dad's dad, and they heard about what happened, so they took me in. "
" Ok, so since I know the reason why you're more then willing to help us, what about Genes' plans? "
" Well, she doesn't have all of the men under her control just yet, so she can't really start them. What she plans to do is what she did to my home village. Set deadly viruses off in the Five Great Nations. Leaf, Mist, Cloud, Sand, and Rock. Even Sound. Then once every one is infected, she'll sell the antidote at a high price. "
" And how exactly do you know this? " Sasuke spoke up again.
" Simple. I was living with Gene and Gato for a few weeks, so I knew where Gato kept all of his future plans and ideas. So now that Gato is out of the picture, Gene plans to keep those future plans and ideas going. "
" And you know for sure that she's planning on using the viruses on the villages, because? "
Yoh sighed. " Once again, isn't it obvious, Slack-ass? " This time he glanced at Sasuke lazily. " Since the virus Gene let loose in my village worked so damn well, it's a for sure thing that it'll easily work in other villages. So it's obvious that since Gato got 2 win's from the virus, that it might work again. And as I said before, Gene and Gato thought alike. "
" You said she would sell the antidotes for a high price. Does she even have those antidotes? " Kakashi asked.
Yoh frowned in thought. " I'm not sure. It might be a bluff just to get money. I'm not even sure how far long in her plan she is. "
" Another question. " Kakashi took a quick side glance at Sasuke before turning back to Yoh. " How come you want to help us get rid of Gene? Wouldn't you rather take your revenge out on Gene by your self? "
" I... " Yoh looked down at his hands for a moments while every one waited for him to answer. Yoh closed his eyes, taking in a deep breath before sighing. " I don't think I could do it. "
Sasuke growled low in his chest. Baring his gritted teeth, he started talking. " After every thing you said your sister did to you and your family, you now say you cannot avenge them?! What kind of son and brother are you?! She killed your whole family just for power-- "
Yohs' eyes snapped open at Sasukes words, glaring a very painful death at Sasuke. " You know nothing of this, Sasuke! "
Sasuke snarled. " No, I know very well-- "
" I know all about what your brother Uchiha Itachi did to your entire clan, don't think I don't know. " Yoh spat out shutting Sasuke up. " I can't avenge my family and village because she is my sister. No matter what she did I can't kill her. I know my parents and siblings would rather die all over again then me kill Gene. The only way I can take some kind of revenge is by help with others. You don't always have to 'revenge' or 'avenge' some body by your self. Taking help from friends, from the people you trust, is just another strenght you can use, Slack-ass. " Yohs' words came out through clenched teeth.
Sasuke continued to glare at Yoh with his jaw clenched and his hands fisted by his sides.
Kakashi thought it would be best before Sasuke tried to do something to Yoh before he learned more on Gene. " Alright. So one last question. Do you know where Gene and her hide out is? "
