In the Shadows of the Dark Alleys
Chapter Twenty-He was My Brother
Kohona City, North Suburb
SBK North Hideout
Sakura's eyes widened as Sasuke pinned her against a wall, his lips brushing across hers. She closed her eyes as he held his lips gently against hers, asking for permission.
I wonder…could i…let go of Hennan…?
The pink-haired girl began. Hennan had always been there for her. His love…was unconditional. Her eyelids fluttered a bit. A trace of a smile flickered to life on her face as she pressed back against Sasuke's lips. The black-haired male in front of her took no time in repositioning his body, pressing his lips closer to hers, wrapping his arms around her waist.
All her life, Sakura had been an only child. She had lost her parents when she was nine, and was forced to join a kid street 'group'.
Her life had been hard.
She had been searching for, without realizing it, a brother.
Hennan had loved her.
She had loved him…but not as a partner.
Without even NOTICING it, she'd treated him like a brother.
He was her brother.
Sakura would've broken down if it wasn't for Sasuke kissing her. She weaved her hands through his black locks and kissed back, truly happy for the first time in about three years.
Kohona City, South Suburb
Unknown Location
Zabuza and Haku were walking calmly when suddenly Haku's chest began to burn.
"Ugh…' He grabbed his chest and sank to the ground.
"Haku?"
Haku groaned.
A laugh could be heard from their right.
"Hello Haku, Zabuza."
Zabuza's eyes narrowed. "Tayuya,' He growled.
Tayuya stepped out from in the shadows, her flute in her hands. "Its been a while, hasn't it?"
"Not long enough," Haku managed to cough from his position. 'What did you do to me?"
'Sent you a poison sound wave, thanks to my flute here," She raised the metal instrument once more to her lips, and started playing a tune only Haku could hear.
The burning in Haku's chest increased and he could only grab Zabuza's hand. "Za…bu…za…make…sure she's safe…okay…?" He managed to say before he collapsed, dead.
Zabuza knelt next to Haku's dead body as Tayuya disappeared. "Haku? Haku? HAKU!" He said.
No answer was heard.
Kohona City, Southeast Suburb
Uni Lane
Kisame growled with impatience as he and Itachi waited in the shadows.
"Where the hell is she???" Kisame snapped.
"Whoa, Kisame, what's up with you?" Tayuya said, stepping into the shadows with them.
'Where WERE you?"
"Visiting an old friend," She replied nonchantly. "He had to go."
"You killed him.'
"Yeah."
Itachi sighed. "Who?"
"Haku. Zabuza's friend."
"Zabuza…?"
"Used to be friends with Kakashi-actually, I suppose they still ARE friends," Tayuya said, shrugging her shoulders.
Kisame mumbled something about being secretive.
"Kisame, it isn't that big of a deal. The less people we have to oppose us, the better chance we end up with the prize."
Kisame chuckled. Tayuya smirked. Itachi smirked.
"Let's go."
Kohona City, Central Suburb
Unknown Location
Rin quietly stared up at the stairs as Anko and Obito plotted.
Poof! A white-haired male appeared out of nowhere.
"Hello Rin, Obito, Anko," He said pleasantly.
"Jiriaya," Anko's eyes narrowed. 'What do you want?"
Jiriaya looked hurt. "Why must you abuse me so? All I came to say was that Gamamn wanted to promote you and bring you under his wings…provide for you, since you lost Oroichmaru."
Anko hissed. "You think we're gonna go running to Gamamn and all his STUPID officials just because our boss is dead? HELL NO!"
"Anko, calm down," Obito pushed her aside. "Let me handle this."
"Handle it well, then," Anko sneered, striding toward Rin. Rin scooted over on the bench she sat upon, and Anko joined her.
"Why…does Gamamn want us?" Obito asked.
Jiriaya feigned surprise. "Because you are some of the best, of course!"
"Of course,' Anko sneered from next to Rin.
Obito gave her a look. "Be quiet, Anko."
Anko rolled her eyes, but shut her mouth.
"What does he plan on giving us?"
"I don't really know,' Jiriaya said pleasantly, as if they were talking about the weather. "I'm just the messenger."
"Can we kill the messenger, then?"
"Anko, please let Obito handle this," Rin murmmered, tugging slightly on Anko's sleeve.
"Well, messenger, tell his royal highness Gamamn that we are NOT interested."
Anko smirked. "'Course we aren't."
Jiriaya sighed. "He was afraid you would say that…and wishes to meet you at a place where just you, Obito, and him can talk." Jiriaya pulled out a scroll. "Here. GO to this address, and have a talk with him, Obito." Poof. He was gone.
"You're not gonna go, are you, Obito?" Rin asked softly.
"I probably should…just to see what we're dealing with."
'But it'll be dangerous…"
Obito flashed a smile. "Not the first dangerous thing I've done."
Anko snorted. 'Probably will be your last, though."
Obito frowned. "Then, Anko, you and Rin will follow me, stay approximately twenty feet away from the meeting place, and help me if I need it."
Anko rolled her eyes. "Whatever."
Rin smiled at Obito. He smiled back.
However, no matter what Obito said, Rin had this rolling feeling in her gut that he wouldn't come back from the meeting.
She just hoped this wasn't true.
There is nothing really for me to say...except...
