A/n: Hello kind peoples!! I'm back!! Sorry this chapter took soooooo long. I never meant for it to be well, this late. Sorry. TT.TT Please forgive me. Ive had band practices 5 days out of the week, Fridays: football games, and Saturdays are competitions...Ehh...I'm not a busy person, now am I? -smirk-
Disclaimer: I do not own the hyper-head-nuckle-ball named Naruto, but I do own a ThreeDaysGrace T-shirt. HAHA!! But nor do I own the song lyrics I mention.
Listening to: Angels by Within Temptation. Pretty song, sad too.
Chapter 14 : Knowing and Understanding
-Off in the forest/close to Suna-
"Kakashi!" Nozami called, landing hard on a unsuspecting tree branch in the process.
"I need you to use your Sharingan to survey the area for chakra." She asked as the two landed beside her.
Kakashi pulled his Konoha headband up to reveal the crimson eye of the dreaded Sharingan.
He looked around for a few moments before responding,"There is a group of three, about 800 meters Southwest of here. All of which have a very high chakra reading, and seem or appear to be ninja."
"Should we go investigate?" Kara asked, flipping a eage
r kunai through her slender fingers.
"Yes. If what Kakashi says is true, then we can't take any chances." Nozami answered, pulling out three wireless radios in the process.
"Take these." she stated, handing each a radio. "Our best bet is to split up into singles and go from there. Radio in if you find anything suspicious or if you run into trouble."
"Understood." The two answered before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
Nozami stood and looked out towards the awaiting forest, a look of worry coming across her features. But that look of dread soon was replaced by determination. Nothing, repeat NOTHING could slow her down.
Angels by Within Temptation:
'Sparkling angel, I believed,
You are my savior, in my time of need.
Blinded by faith, couldn't hear,
All the whispers, the warnings so clear.
I see the angels, I'll lead them to your door,
There's no escape now, no mercy no more.
No remorse, 'cause I still remember--
The smile when you tore me apart.
You took my heart; deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams, I wished they'd turn into real.
You broke the promise, and made me realize,
It was all just a lie.
Sparkling angel, I couldn't see,
Your dark intentions, your feelings for me.
Fallen angel, tell me why,
what is the reason, the thorn in your eye?
I see the angels, I'll lead them to your door,
There's no escape now, no mercy no more.
No remorse, 'cause I still remember--
The smile when you tore me apart.
You took my heart, deceived me from the start.
You showed me dreams, I wished they turn into real.
You broke the promise, and made me realize,
It was all just a lie.
Could have been forever,
Now we have reached the end.
This world may have failed you,
It doesn't give you a reason why,
You could have chosen a different life--
The smile when you tore me apart.
You took my heart, deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams, I wished they'd turn into real.
You broke the promise, and made me realize,
It was all just a lie--
Could have been forever,
Now we have reached the end...'
-Back at camp with Itachi and the gang-
Itachi sat quietly, the sensuous drowsiness of the night was on him. The dark forest night that was palpable as it pressed its thick, warm blackness down on his weary body. Every now and then, he would hear the lone howl of a wolf at the moon, or the silent hoot of an owl.
He had always loved the night, the chilling breeze that would whip by with the moon, or the obscurely shining haze that would follow.
It was nights like this when he 'needed' to be alone, to clear his thoughts, his emotions. After all, even Itachi must admit he is a human.
An abrupt sound startled him.
Off to the right he heard it, and his senses, expert in such matters, could not be mistaken.
Again he heard the sound, and again.
Somewhere, off in the blackness, someone was watching him.
He could feel it, the sudden change in spiritual pressure.
The air was ripe with someones chakra; no mistaking it.
Definately.
Itachi listened as the cry of some startled bird rang out, something was coming, and he wasn't going to take ANY chances. He quickly sprang up from his branch and jumped to the ground below, his eyes focused on the directions from which the sounds had came, watching, waiting.
