Snow in the Desert.
Chapter Twenty.
A/n: Lads, lads, lads. I apologise in advance, I am extremely drunk at the moment.
I am so sorry, this will take me ages and will suck.
But here's the thing… I am going to a wedding tomorrow (wahey drinking ;D) and I will not be updating perhaps the day after next.
leogril321, xOxPiggyBridexOx and Gabby are babes, I love yiz (:
Miyuki awoke angry and frustrated once again to find herself eating in front of Pein, except this time it was voluntary.
She didn't want to be subdued to the forcefulness of eating until she couldn't take it anymore.
He sat on the end of her bed while she kept her head down - a sign of intimidation.
"Where is my brother?" She asked.
He looked up from her tray into her eyes.
As of then she quickly darted her eyes away.
"He is on a mission. Why do you not dare to look into my glace?" He asked.
"Wouldn't you be intimidated to look into my Sharingan?"
He nodded his head in understandment. "You're lucky Uchiha wasn't here then. And yes, I would be timid."
She ate the rest of her meal in silence, delighted that Madara wasn't there to harass her any longer. Well, for a while that is.
"You look tired." Pein stated, still staring at her, cautiously.
"Well, you would too if you were captured. And bedsides, I couldn't get much sleep. It isn't the best environment being here." She admitted but she didn't admit the full truth.
The truth was Miyuki was planning her escape; it was simple really; punch the guard with force and then leave.
Her plan was even better when she knew Madara wasn't there.
She knew Pein would be a fair component to her in a battle with their manipulative eyes.
"Who is Madara with?" She asked.
"Why are you so curious?"
"Just wondering. It's not like I have anything better to be doing."
"Hoshigaki Kisame."
"The shark?" She asked.
"Yes."
He was so bland and boring.
"I heard from Kakashi that the Shark was in possession of a powerful sword?" She asked again, trying to gain some bit of trust so he would drop his eyes.
"Yes, the Samehada."
She nodded her head in response as she continued to eat.
When she was finished he picked up the tray and left with it.
She sighed, she wasn't ready, yet.
He scared her; she had to be truthful with that.
But she knew she could overpower him.
She thought about her options, aggressiveness, seduction or merely surprise.
She weighed the options of surprise. It was the best.
She would get him to drop his gaze, once the eyes were out of her view she would attack.
Hopefully the other Akatsuki members will not intervene.
After several hours, team seven caught up with Gaara.
"Kakashi, two Akatsuki are after wandering from the base. On a mission nonetheless." Gaara told them as they sat on the several branches.
"They could possible be heading to Suna to check out the number of reinforcements for Miyuki's rescue." Kakashi stated.
"Yes, and they were heading in that direction." Gaara told him.
"My town might not be safe."
"You can always go back to it. I will rescue Miyuki." Stated Sasuke.
"Miyuki is more important to me than my town." It was Gaara's turn to smirk and Sasuke's to glare.
"Are we close?" Asked Sasuke.
"Very." Kakashi and Gaara said in sync.
"We're so close I can feel her charka. We just need to find the hidden base now." Kakashi stated.
Miyuki waited for hours for Pein to bring her dinner.
He was late; he should be here by now.
She sighed in frustration.
As if on timing, the door clicked open to reveal someone else.
"I'm Konan. I am Pein's team mate. I apologise for him not being here but he is extremely busy at the moment with paperwork." The woman explained.
"I thought Madara was the leader?" Asked Miyuki as Konan passed her the tray and sat on the bed.
"Madara is the founder. Pein is the leader in a way. When Tobi is away, Pein is in control." Konan wasn't as vague as Pein, but she was as bitter.
"Mhmm. I see. You are aware of why I am here?" Miyuki asked as she pretended to be interested in eating.
"Yes. You are Madara's little sister and the heir to the Uchiha clan."
"Precisely." Miyuki pored herself a cup of hot green tea.
"Is my brother back? I wish to speak to him." Miyuki told Konan.
"No, he's still on a mission."
"May I ask what he is doing?" Asked Miyuki.
"That is classified."
Miyuki grunted.
"Would you like some tea, Konan? It's really good." Smiled Miyuki.
"I'm okay." She stated.
"In that case..." Miyuki threw the tea into Konan's face.
It burned her eyesight and features as Miyuki tossed the objects from the tray and hit Konan over the back of the head.
Konan fell to the floor, wincing in pain as she held onto her head.
"Sharingan!"
Konan's eyes dilated as she looked into Miyuki's.
Her worst memories and pains running through her head as Miyuki tortured her mind.
Of course, she couldn't help but have a little bit of fun, by torturing her physically as she passed out with pain.
Miyuki made her way to the door that she was positive was open.
She pulled the handle and yanked the door open.
She ran down the hallway maze, searching for anything that resembled an eyes focused on a large door.
She ran from the narrow hallway towards the door.
"My, my, my. What do we have here?" Asked an object.
She recognised it as Zetsu.
She heard of the 'two-faced' Akatsuki spy when she was younger.
He had a lust for humans that he could not satisfy (as in food) and is a natural at camouflage.
"Doesn't she look delicious?" One half asked the other.
Miyuki jumped as the walls were blown through, knocking Zetsu into the nearby walls aswell as herself.
She was seriously injured as her head made impact with her walls.
The scree subsided to reveal Sasuke, Chidori in one hand as it began to fade.
"Miyuki!" He called, "I'm so glad you're safe."
"Sasuke, we have to leave now. Pein and Konan are here too." Cried Miyuki as scrammbled from the floor to hold onto Sasuke's arms, trying to pull him away.
"It's okay, Miyuki. Gaara and I are here also." Kakashi laughed.
She looked to her right to reveal Gaara, staring at her sadly.
She jumped into him, hugging him intensely.
"I missed you so much." She whispered into his ear.
Gaara's heart swelled once again.
He wrapped his arms around her waist, smirking at Sasuke briefly.
"We should leave." He stated as he stroked Miyuki's injured head before swiping her off of feet, ignoring her protests.
Konan's pain and Pein's (lmao.) duties gave them long enough time to flee the scenery.
As they were running back towards Konoha, Sasuke stayed by Kakashi knowing he lost Miyuki to Gaara.
"Gaara, you shouldn't have left your village alone. It could have been attacked." She scolded him.
"You mean more to me than my village." He told her as she smiled up towards him.
"Gaara, I'm sorry. I want to stay with you if you allow it."
He stopped as she leaned up to kiss him. He returned the brief kiss.
"Of course you're coming home with me. I will never lose you again, I promise."
"Sorry to ruin the moment but shouldn't your brother be meeting your boyfriend officially, Miyuki?"
The two of them both turned their heads to see Madara and Kisame staring at the pair.
