Journal 14

I'm to tired to write down the events of how Orochimaru died, but believe me when I say it was for lack of a better word, amazing. Was hit in the head a little more than I would have liked too, but I digress.

Journal 15

After the fight Sasuke said he was going to go gather some people. Whatever that meant, like a morale maybe?

"You're welcome to come along." Sasuke interrupted my thoughts.

"I think I just might." The curiosity was getting the better of me. Besides, if Konoha is against Sasuke then technically, I was spying, which meant I was doing good by fighting with him right? Oh, I'm a loyally confused.

We walked into a place with tubes and clear water containers in it. I was afraid to know what Oroichimaru kept in here. Sasuke and I walked up to a clear container in the back center of the room.
"I knew it was you. The fact that you're here must mean you killed Oroichimaru." The water spoke.

I raised an eyebrow. Water talking? Oroichimaru hit me a little to hard on my head.

Sasuke replied with a simple, "Yeah. But never mind that. Let's get you out of here."

He pulled out his sword and sliced the container open. The water started pouring out of it and a figure started to rise out of the water.

"Free at last. Thank you Sasuke." It said.

"Suigetsu, you're the first. Come with me." Sasuke said.

The thing coming out of the water was named Suigetsu. I could swear though I saw nothing in the container but water, unless- it was a boy! He had razor sharp teeth with white hair. He looked fairly familiar.

"Me? First? They are others then?" Suigetsu asked.

"Two others. I'm taking Jugo from the Northern hideout and Karin from the southern hideout."

Suigetsu started to rise out of the water naked.

"Aiya!" I said and turned around so I wouldn't have to face a naked man.

"Are you sure about that?" Suigetsu asked Sasuke.

"Why?"

"It's nothing. I just that I don't like them. I can't get along with them. At least, that's what I think. Sure you picked me, but I wonder choosing those two, Sasuke." Suigetsu said. He hasn't even acknowledged that fact I'm here, which is kind of a good thing.

"Enough rambling and put your clothes on. We're going" Sasuke said.

Thank god. I thought, until Suigetsu started to laugh.

"Ordering me around like a big shot, eh?"

I heard a few water droplets hit the ground. Sasuke heard it too. I saw Suigetsu run up behind Sasuke, still naked I might add, and place a finger up to Sasuke's head.

"Let me clarify the relationship between you and me, Alright? Sorry, but you chose to rescue me. I never said anything about following you. Just because you defeated Oroichimaru doesn't make you better than me. Everyone was after him. You were his pet, so you weren't imprisoned and stayed by his side. You had more chances to kill him than the rest of us."

There was silence between the two of them

"Gotcha, just kidding. But I let you know now, just to make us even. I'm free at last, so I do as I please." Sasuke and I left the naked Suigetsu in the room and started walking down a path covered with trees.

"By the way, it was your team wasn't it? The team that brought down my great predecessor, Momichi, Zabuza." Suigetsu said swimming in water in front of our path.

"What ever happened to his blade? The executioner's blade? Let's do this. If you tell me where the blade is and I take possession of it, then I'll be willing to help you.

Sasuke started to over of the water. I just followed behind him.

"Put some clothes on." Sasuke said.

Gross, he's still naked. Has he even realized there is a girl here?

We came to the Great Naruto Bridge. Sasuke stopped for a while and thought about something. Probably Naruto because I was thinking about him also. Like the fact that we were supposed to go get ramen as of three weeks ago and never did.

"The Great Naruto Bridge? What a weird name. Hey was Zabuza Senpai strong?" Suigetsu asked.

Sasuke didn't answer.

"What's the matter Sasuke?" I asked.

"Nothing. Let's go." Sasuke said.

I looked over at Suigetsu who had clothes on and we both shrugged.

We walked over to two graves. To be honest I zoned out on what they were talking about. I tried to remember how we got here just in case something happened.

"It's not here." I guess they were talking about that sword from earlier.

"I'm not the keeper of these graves. Someone must have taken it."

"Well since I don't have the sword, my joining you will have to wait." Suigetsu said walking away from the grave.

"So why haven't I seen you at Oroichimaru's before?" Suigetsu asked me when we were walking over a bridge. Again.

"Because I wasn't a prisoner or his pet there. I showed up for some unfinished business. Plus, you were kept in a container of water you shouldn't have really seen anything."

"Oh. Well I'm Suigetsu."

"I know."

"Well nice way to shut me out like that." Suigetsu said.

"I'm so sorry I didn't know I was needed for entertainment." Ugh, kids.

"Your annoying." He told me.

"Both of you." Sasuke told us.

"Hey, don't you tell me what to do Sasuke, if I remember correctly, I helped you take down Oroichimaru. Also I'm still your elder."

Sasuke glared at me.

"Glare all you want. I dare you to try something." I said stepping in front of him.

"Wait? She helped you beat Orochimaru? Elder? Woo, how old are you?" Suigetsu asked all of these questions.

"I helped him because he asked me too, and you shouldn't ask a woman her age."

Sasuke walked around me.

"That's okay with me. I can deal with older women." Suigetsu got a smile on his face.

I stopped in front of him. "Listen, Suigetsu. I appreciate your attraction to me, but I'm taken and your 16. It just won't work out with us." With that I turned around to Sasuke.

"Is Sasuke the reason you're taken?" Suigetsu asked.

Sasuke and I looked at each other and I smiled.

"No. Never. Your on the right track though." I said.

Sasuke smirked. He didn't realize I saw him from the corner of my eye. At least there was some hope left.

Journal 17

The yogurt shop was a pointless stop even if it was good. Sasuke had girls fawning over him, just like Itachi had back then. A girl told us that a bridge maker knew where Suigetsu's soon to be sword was. When we arrived where the bridge maker was, we learned that he was in the land of Lightning building a bridge and wouldn't be back for a year.

The streets were completely packed, and a man bumped into Suigetsu on our way back to square one. "What the hell do you think you're-

"Hey we were just looking for you." Suigetsu said. The man tried running off. Suigetsu grabbed him by the back of his shirt and threw him into a pile of trash in an alley.

"Wh-who are you guys?" He asked.

"You seem the type to know a lot of things." Suigetsu said.

"I know nothing about Tenzen." The man said.

"Anything will do, just tell us what you know." Suigetsu pulled out a kunai.

"If you're going to get any where with this man, persuasion is the key." I whispered to Suigetsu and put a finger to my cheek.

I bent down with my hands on my thighs. "Tell us, please." I said.

"Tenzen Daikoku is a politician, but there is another side to him. He's the boss of a huge band of thieves. I heard he duels out huge bribes to feudal lords, and gets whatever evil things he likes.

"See you know it all. And? Where does he live?" Suigetsu asked.

"Just south there's a castle in the forest. Rumors say several thousand mercenaries guard the place and it is impenetrable." The man finished.

I stood back up. "Oh, I beg to differ."
