It's been three days since I've heard from Sasuke. I am beyond worried. Tsunade tells me she can't tell me anything about the mission he is on. I wish I could read minds. I need to know where he is at, what he is doing. Come to think of it, I haven't seen Shikamaru or Naruto since they came over to help me a few days ago. Kiba, on the other hand, has practically moved in and Konohamaru has been visiting a lot.
I decide to drop by Naruto's apartment, hoping that I catch him at home. Staring at his door, I lift my hand and knock three times. Silence. Maybe he is sleeping. I knock again, only harder this time. "Naruto? Are you in there? I really need to talk to you." I call out then press my ear to his door. Still nothing.
"He left a couple of days ago. I assume Lady Hokage sent him out on a mission." An old lady, who I assumed was his landlord, told me when she saw me standing outside his door.
"Oh, okay. Thank you." I tell her and begin down the stairs. Next stop, Shikamaru's house.
"I'm sorry Katsuki, he isn't here. He was sent out on a mission a couple of night's ago." His mom tells me.
"Thank you." I say bowing to her. "If he comes home could you please tell him that I was looking for him?"
"Of course." She smiles before closing the door.
"Where is everyone?" I ask. "Even the streets seem empty." I look around, seeing no one wearing the ever famous green vest. I wonder..."Maybe Kiba knows something." I turn for home, hoping for some good news.
When I walk through the gate Yukine comes to meet me. His braid a mess and dirt on his shirt. "Where did you go mom?" He asks looking up at me.
"I went to talk to Tsuna-Ba-chan and Naruto and Shikamaru." I tell him, pushing his bangs aay from his face.
"Naruto oni-chan and Shikamaru oni-chan left a couple days ago." He says. He even knew?
"I heard. Where's Kiba?" I ask him as we walk to the house.
"Kiba Oni-chan left. He had an assignment." Yukine tells me.
"What?! Who's watching the babies then?" I ask rushing into the house. My eyes land on Konohamaru, Saori (Shikamaru's crush) and Rina (Saori's older sister) sitting with the babies. "Oh thank the stars." I breath placingm y hand over my heart. "When I heard that Kiba left I got worried." I explain my panic to them.
"It's fine. I would have been the same way." Rina says with a smile.
"Do you girls know what's going on? Sasuke and Suigetsu hasn't been home in days. Naruto and Shikamaru left a couple days ago and now even Kiba is sent out." I say.
"My husband, Ryuji, has been called out too. He just said that he has a new assignment." Rina says fixing Kinabi's little dress.
"Hmm..." I hum. "Could you guys keep an eye on the kids for a littl bit? I need to go talk to someone" I say heading to the door again.
"Yeah sure, take your time." Saori says playing with Kuro.
"Is there formula here?" Konohamaru asks as Shiro starts to fuss.
"Yeah, there are bottle in the fridge. I shouldn't be gone too long but if you need more there is formula powder on the counter, just mix it with warm water." I explain before heading out the door.
I look back over my shoulder seeing Yukine looking out the window, watching me as I cross the yard. I'll have to be out of sight before I can do what I'm planning. I make it through the gate and head for the shopping district of the village, then out to the forest. I couldn't sense anyone around me, but that doesn't mean that there wasn't any one. It just meantthat it wasn't one of my boys. I knew they hadn't learned to mask their prescence yet.
I pictured my snowflake shaped mark that I had placed on the back of Sasuke's neck. "If no one wants to tell me what's going on, I'll just have to find it out for myself." I say activating my flying raijin, just as someone grabs onto my wrist. I look down just in time to see Yukine. The next second I'm standing with my hand against the back of Sasuke's next.
"Katsuki?!" He yells, making me pull my angry, shocked gaze away from Yukine. I look up to see Sasuke looking back at me angrily. "What the hell are you doing here?!" He growls. I take in my surroundings. We were in the middle of a desert. We were in the land of wind and we were in the middle of battle. "Go back now." Sasuke yells at me.
I nod once and activate my flying raijin again, placing us back in my house, in the middle of my living room. Everyone around me looks up at me like they had seen a ghost. "Keep an eye on him." I say handing Yukine's wrist to konohamaru. "Don't let go of him until I'm gone, get everyone into the shelter. I'm going to talk to Tsunade." I say, activation flying raijin for the thrid time.
I appear in Tsunade's office. She jumps seeing me appear from thin air, causing her to fling papers up into the air. "Katsuki, don't do that to me." She says placing her hand on her chest.
"When were you planning on telling me?" I ask slightly angered. "Don't you know they are stuggling out there? The Chaos's army is advancing closer and closer to the leaf by the minute." I tell her trying to not yell.
"So you've found out." She sighs, straightening out her stack of papers. "Just for the record. I wanted to tell you, Sasuke made me promise not to." She explains.
"Made you?! Made you?! You are the damn Hokage? What could he have possibly done to MAKE you promise something like that?!" I yell, getting pushed over the edge. She just looks up at me. "You of all people should know that hell has no fury like a woman's" I say drawing back my fist and slamming it down, shattering her desk under the power of it. Her eyes grow wide and mouth hangs open at my little secret I had kept from her. Rule number one, Never show someone all of your cards.
"Katsuki!" She says in a commanding tone.
"Get everyone into the shelter." I say turning to the door and opening it. "Take care of my kids." I say over my shoulder, closing the door behind me.
"Katsuki wai-" I hear her begin, but it's too late. I'm already back on the battlefield before she was able to stop me.
