Chapter 37: Fatherly Love
Emiko and Suki followed Toshi into an abandon building. The Nara twins looked at each other both very suspicious of whey they followed Toshi into an abandon building, or why he brought them there. Toshi was not only the son of the man who wanted to kill Emiko and Suki, but also the same boy who knocked Emiko out 4 years ago just to get to see his mom again.
Emiko stopped placing her hands on her hips, "Alright, Start talking Toshi. Suki and I don't have a lot of time, we're expected somewhere soon."
Toshi turned to face the twins, the look on his face seemed as though he had regretted something. He looked around the building, then back at the girls, "My dad wants you two dead because he hates your parents, and also-" He stopped. Suddenly looking one direction an alarming look on his face, "He shouldn't be here yet." he said, most likely not meant to be said out loud.
"who sho-" Suki couldn't even finish what she was about to ask before feeling a massive amount of Chakra that they had felt before. The intelligent Nara looked at her sister, her green eyes explaining just how she felt, a small amount of fear, but a massive amount of irritation, "Are we ready for him?"
"We don't really have a choice. He's here and now." Emiko sighed, turning and facing the door, her small hand on her medium sized fan.
Yukio glared at his chubby friend, "Alright spill. Why'd we let Emiko and Suki go with Toshi alone? I thought you wanted to make sure they were safe. Why'd Suki whisper to you?" He asked, the tone of his voice explaining how worried and pissed he was.
Without saying anything, Aiko turned and walked towards the front of the Nara house. As he knocked on the door, Suki's words echoed in his head, the thing she asked him to do for her, he would make sure not to fail. While waiting for someone to answer the door, Yukio walked over to his friend, and asked what she was doing, but didn't get a reply.
The door opened and the two teen boys came face to face with the one person that scared tem even more than the worst Rouge Ninja there was….this person was Shikamaru Nara.
He looked at the two of them, an eyebrow raised, "What are you two doing here?" he asked, waiting for a reply.
As he waited, Temari walked to the door, and looked at the boys, "You guys just missed the girls, they're not-" She stopped what she was saying when she heard a loud bark. Temari imminently looked at Yukio, "Was that ShiShimaru?" She asked.
"No, He's still at the vet, moms making me get him fixed." Yukio answered, shaking his head, "ShiShimaru wont be out till tomorrow."
"Then who was that?" She asked now looking at her husband, "It sounded a lot like-"
"Nozomi" Shikamaru said, pointing towards the dog running up towards the house, without the twins. The two parents looked at the boys, very serious looks on their faces. "Where are Emiko and Suki?" Shikamaru asked, in an overly protective fatherly tone. "Don't say you don't know, because you wouldn't of come here if you didn't know."
Aiko looked at Shikamaru in his eyes, a bold move for a boy who was trembling in fear of the Nara, his heart racing and his palms sweaty, he took a deep breath then said, "Suki only told me to come here, then knock on the door, and Nozomi would come here and you would know what to do."
"What do-" Shikamaru's tone deepened, and his glare more deadly, "Who are they with?" he asked, demanding to know an answer.
"Toshi Uchiha" Yukio mumbled, looking down at his feet, avoiding any eye contact with the two Jonin.
"What the-" Temari let out a loud sigh, trying to calm herself, "Why are they with him?"
"Because he was going to them tell how or where to find Sasuke….right?" Shikamaru shook his head, "Troublesome girls, why cant they just let use do our job in protecting them."
"Mom, Dad what's going on?" Daichi asked, walking to the door, noticing Yukio and Aiko, along with his sisters dog, Nozomi, standing outside the house, "Why are Em's and Suki's boyfriends here?" He asked, raising a lazy eyebrow at the boys.
"Daichi stay here with Yukio and Aiko, your father and I-"
"No Temari, you stay here with Daichi." Shikamaru then looked at the two boys, "and you two will go back to your parents, inform them, if you haven't already, about Sasuke Uchiha." He then looked back at his wife, "Call your brothers and make sure the girls aren't with them. Have Gaara send some sand Shinobi out to look for them, and tell them to keep an eye out for Sasuke also."
Temari nodded, "But if your not back home with our daughters in 20 minutes, I'm coming to look for you guys." the way she had said that, made it sound more like a promise, than a suggestion.
"Fine" Shikamaru then walked over to Nozomi, "Lets go." he said, and the dog began running, Shikamaru following not far behind the dog.
Toshi shook his head, "No one should know that we're here-"
"Don't lie Toshi, we know that Tamasine has been fol-" Emiko was cut off by Toshi covering her mouth with one hand, and pushing her back against a wall.
Before Toshi could say anything, a cold, silver, blade of a Kunai was pressed against his neck, "Get your hand off my sisters mouth before I do something I'm gonna regret." Suki threatened in a very low, serious tone.
The young Uchiha slowly removed his hand from Emiko's mouth, "I know I should of told you guys about Tamasine, but…" Toshi looked down, "But he's my brother, and I don't want to disappoint him….again."
Suki lowed the Kunai from Toshi's neck, and took a step away from the boy, allowing him to back away from her sister, "Look right now, we don't have time to discuss how you lied to us…right now we have some-" She stopped again, and looked back in the direction she was looking earlier, this time instead of having a shocked look on her face, she had a look of relief on her face, "Looks like my plan worked out exactly how I wanted it to."
"Wait Suki…" Emiko looked at her sister, a confused look on her face, "Why is dad here?" she asked, looking from her sister to the door and back.
"Your dads here?" Toshi asked, a slightly worried look on his face, "How'd he know where we were?"
Before either girl could say anything, the doors to the abandon building shot open, and in walked Shikamaru and Nozomi, whom was dragging an unconscious Tamasine. The Nara male looked extremely mad as he walked towards his twin daughters, and the extremely frightened Uchiha. "What were the two of you thinking?" He asked, staring at Suki and Emiko.
"We were trying to help dad. He said he was going to tell us where his dad was, and why he was after Suki and myself." Emiko said, taking a step forward.
"Did you two even notice-"
"Notice that Tamasine was following us?" Suki sighed, finishing her fathers question, "Yes dad, we noticed. But I knew you would come here if you saw Nozomi alone, without Em or myself."
Shikamaru shook his head, then turned his attention to Toshi, "If you know why Sasuke is after my daughters, tell me and Temari, not my 13 year old Daughters."
Toshi nodded, "I'm sorry but I-"
"I don't want an explanation, I just want to know why Sasuke is after my daughters"
"Alright, they are being targeted because for one, my father doesn't like you or Temari. And he blames them for his failure on his mission 4 years ago, he also thinks that they are the ones who made me turn my back on Tamasine, when I tried to get Emiko out of Orochimaru and Kabuto's building." Toshi explained, "I know I should of told you guys earlier, but Tamasine said that if I helped him get them, he wouldn't hurt them, or let dad hurt them either"
"And you believed him?" Suki asked, her arms crossed, shaking her head, "I'm sorry to break this to you but, your brother cant be trusted. He would take Emiko and myself to his father, without a second thought. That's just the kin of person he is."
Toshi shook his head, "Your wrong! He's changed!"
Emiko sighed, "Toshi, if your brother had changed, then why did he try to attack, why did dad have to knock him unconscious just to get into the building?" She asked, "Just forget it, Suki and I have to leave." The young Nara looked at her father, "And before you say anything, Suki and I will go to Suna alone, so please don't try to stop us."
Suki and Emiko began to leave the building, Toshi walking behind them, and behind him was Shikamaru and Nozomi, with Tamasine being carried by the Nara dog. Once they arrived at their house, the twins had to go through the same yelling experience they went through with their father, they were told that they could have been seriously hurt if Shikamaru didn't come to help them, but after Temari yelled at them, she hugged them glad that they weren't hurt, then told them to go and get ready to go to Suna.
