Narrator's POV

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Demon Shadow of the Streets Pt.1

Previously…

"As you know, annually, the Underground Race is held and this year, the other Mafia requested for permission to let it be held in our territory," Sasuke announced and Sakura and Tenten were more confused than ever. Sakura turned to Shikamaru and asked, "What's he talking about?"

"What – the Underground Race? It's an illegal street race that only Mafia part take in. It's highly dangerous and usually involves the police if too much attention is aroused – well, the racing is enough attention. There's something called the Black List. That list contains the top ten most feared Mafia teams that are successful in the race. Number one on the list is – obviously- Onikage. Each ten Mafia teams owns a territory; Oakwood Canyon is Onikage's Territory. But we don't race with our aims set on just earning the territory. No, we race for the money as well…" Shikamaru explained. Tenten and Sakura looked at each other.

"Before I continue, I'd just acknowledge Hyuuga Neji who maintained our ranking on the list last year," Sasuke said, his gaze meeting the pale, lavender eyes; Tenten blushed at the thought of Neji behind the wheel of a hot car – which reminded her that her Audi R8 was parked in the garage, safely. No one could ever touch her car and if Orochimaru got his hands on it, Tenten would risk her life to get it back. She had worked extremely hard to get that car and there was no way she was just going to let it wash away down the drain. Then Sai asked, "What kind of cash are we looking at?"

"Two million," Sasuke replied.

"Who are the additional racers?" Shikamaru asked.

"That will be revealed on the night of the race," Sasuke replied.

"I find that to be the wrong question to ask, Nara," Neji spoke up.

"Then what is the right one, Hyuuga?" Shikamaru bit back, but in a dead and lazy tone. Neji ignored Shikamaru and turned to Sasuke.

"Who's racing for Onikage," Neji stated.

Everyone's gazes were now fixed upon Sasuke. Sasuke knew that everyone in his Mafia was capable of winning; including Naruto. But it had been two years since Sasuke had the pleasures of illegal street racing. Then with the infamous 'Uchiha smirk' adorning his godly face, he said, "I will."

Presently…

Sasuke checked his Audi TT RS once again, ensuring that everything was working well. He modified the engine so that the vehicle would be faster than it originally was. Sasuke had spent nearly all of his time getting familiar with the car which was easy to come by due to great affiliations he had with the original Audi Company in Germany. He had test driven it a couple of times. Now, tonight was the big event – the race.

"I see you're ready," Sai said, now entering the garage.

"Hn"

"I just came to fill you in on the additional gangs that'll be in the race. I got them from a very reliable source," Sai said to Sasuke.

"Well?" Sasuke said, wanting to hear what Sai had to say.

"Basilisk and Dark Raiders," Sai answered.

"Hn, so only two made it," Sasuke commented. He did expect as much; after all, the regular street races these days were tough and were getting tougher.

The original gangs on the list were Onikage, Black Wind, Diamond, Kaze, Shinigami Knights, Fuuma Gang, Tsukiyomi, Amaterasu and Susanoo. Onikage once had alliances with Tsukiyomi, Amaterasu and Susanoo, but due to financial based conflicts, they lost trust in each other. Because of the broken alliance, those other gangs decided to compete in regular street racing to boost their status on the streets and then soon enough they were able to make it on the Black List. In the Mafia world, it was common courtesy to not compete with your allies in such events and this was why Akatsuki erased their status on the list since Itachi joined them. Itachi's affiliations with Akatsuki brought together the two gangs.

Sasuke left the garage shortly and made his way to his room. As he opened the door, he was greeted by a smack on his head. He looked on the floor to see a small teddy bear and then looked to the direction from which it came. To his left he saw Kagerou and Hanabi, both wearing scared expressions on their faces. Sasuke glared at the two girls and the silence prevailed. Hanabi and Kagerou took a short, quick glance at each other. Hanabi was older than Kagerou by seven years but it was Kagerou who mustered the courage to say, "S-sorry father."

"Hn, where is your mother?" he asked, turning away from the girls.

But just then, Sakura entered the room with breakfast in hand. She tensed at the sight of Sasuke but lessened it down when she averted her gaze to the children.

"Good morning everyone," she greeted as she handed Kagerou a small sandwich and planted a kiss on the child's cheek.

"Where were you," Sasuke asked Sakura in statement form.

"In the kitchen with Temari…why?" Sakura asked. Sasuke said nothing and walked off to the bathroom.

"C'mon girls, let's go outside," Sakura told the children, thinking that Sasuke would want some privacy.

She led them out into the back yard which was very near to the garden. Sakura could not explain how she was feeling at the moment. Yes, she was disappointed that she could not do anything about Orochimaru or Kimimaro, yet somewhere inside, she felt content; happiness she felt by just watching Kagerou play. The fact that her daughter was now happy made Sakura feel at ease. But she knew that for particular reasons, this feeling would not last, resulting in a small depression and worry. On feeling the vibration of her cellular phone, Sakura answered the call.

"Hello?" Sakura answered.

"You are Sakura Uchiha, am I not right?" the stern voice of a woman spoke.

"Who are you?" Sakura asked firmly with seriousness. She truly did not recognize the voice.

"Guren. I know that you know nothing of me and you don't trust me…yet, but I can help you," the woman said.

"Help me? Help me with what?! What are you playing at, woman?!" Sakura said harshly.

"If you want to kill Orochimaru and his subordinates, then you'll meet me at The Diner in Oakwood City tomorrow night at eight. You may bring a gun if you wish, knowing that you may worry for your safety. But you MUST come alone. If you decide to come, tell no one," the woman called Guren, said before disconnecting the call.

Sakura was confused. Should she meet with this Guren woman? Would she be falling into a trap? Everything just seemed so much to take in at once and the consequences of the situations were already such a big bulk. Sakura sighed. She did not have much time to think through it slowly, so the decision would have to be made quickly…

'What should I do? What am I supposed to do?!' she asked herself…

Tenten flipped through the pages of the magazine. There was absolutely nothing to do but sit around and wait – wait for the day to come where she and Neji would finally get this mission over and done with. She longed for something to do for the time being. This was her first time in Japan and she could not part take in what the city had to offer – because a certain Ice King would refuse. And to make matters worst, she was looking at a magazine containing mesmerizing pictures of shrines, temples, landscapes, shopping areas and even martial arts schools. She read about the various weapons' shops that were available all over Tokyo, increasing her craving. An alert tone sounded from her phone – she had gotten a text message.

It read:

Tenten, I know it's been a while since we've made contact. I've sent this message for two reasons. Firstly – I heard what happened to your family through a reliable source. I'm sorry for your loss. And lastly – I have news about your trafficker. His name is Kabuto Yakushi. I don't know much info on him…yet. I've already hacked into many databases – there's nothing on him. I'll contact you as soon as I get more info.

--Izumo

Tenten deleted the message. Izumo was a guy she had met a long time ago while she was on a mission for the FBI. Izumo Kamizuki belonged to a secret criminal community called Neon. At the time of her mission, Tenten was being chased by her suspects' bodyguards on the streets. Her recklessness resulted in her colliding into an unnoticeable alleyway. She was badly injured and luckily, Izumo encountered her then while making his way back to his organization's base. Tenten stayed at the base until she recuperated. She had grown attached to the members of Neon. She learnt a great deal about that organization and she loved what she gained knowledge of. This gang only dealt with weaponry – all types. Very soon she was offered membership and of course, she accepted. Izumo provided her with ammo not even the FBI could provide her with. She kept her affiliations with Neon undisclosed from Tsunade and the entire Federal Bureau and even Sakura. After getting much acquainted with Izumo, he promised to help Tenten find the people who were involved with her past occurrences. And ever since, that was precisely what he had been doing up to the present.

It had been three months since Tenten received an update from Izumo. Now that she had a name, she willed herself to help herself a little.

"Kabuto Yakushi…" Tenten murmured. His name gave her the impression that he was intelligently cunning – like Orochimaru.

"Tenten," she heard Neji's voice from behind call. She turned to him.

"Let's go," he said, grabbing his keys.

"Where?" she inquired.

"To a café for breakfast," he replied, opening the exit for her.

AT THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION

Kakashi walked past Sakura's office and stopped. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the room as he stood still with his arms crossed over his chest. Ever since a few days ago, he had grown suspicious of Sakura and Tenten's disappearances right before their family's death. He had not heard from them since after the funeral and word was beginning to spread that they were the ones who murdered Tsunade, Kurenai and the baby. He managed to secretly check Tsunade's files and saw that there was no evidence of their mission. So he concluded that they had no mission at all. Honestly, he did not know what to believe. He and Rin requested for the mission to investigate the Former FBI Director's death but instead, Orochimaru and Danzo took it up. What was more surprising to him was that Tsunade appointed Sakura to be the new Director before she died.

'That document in which that info was contained was locked away. Hmm…that could be one sensible reason for Sakura and Tenten to kill Tsunade – for authority over the FBI. It makes sense. But why is it that I don't want to believe that theory?" Kakashi thought.

"Kakashi," he heard a woman's voice which he recognized.

"What is it, Rin?" he asked his wife.

"Danzo has called a meeting in the auditorium. We have to go there, now," she replied, grabbing his arm.

Kakashi and Rin both found seats next to Ino Yamanaka in the second row. The little murmuring was silenced when Danzo began to speak.

"I trust that every single agent is present at this meeting. I apologize for making this so sudden. It has been confirmed by reliable sources, that Agents Sakura and Tenten Senju have been associated with the killings of the Late Director, Tsunade Senju and her family," Danzo stated and at this point, the other agents began to murmur and some gasped on hearing the announcement. But when Danzo began to speak again, they became quiet.

"It has been brought to my attention that they were chosen by Tsunade herself to take over as the new Directors of this Bureau," Danzo notified.

Some of the audiences began to argue and make statements similar to, "What was that woman thinking?!"

Ino coiled her palms into tight fists. 'Lies! All LIES!!' she screamed in her head. Then she sighed. She expected as much from a man like Danzo. It killed her that she could not do anything about the situation even though she knew the whole truth. Danzo cleared his throat. Ino's eyes widened – she knew exactly what he was about to say next.

"That is the main and only reason as to why Orochimaru and I cannot lead this Bureau; and why we cannot eliminate Sakura and Tenten. Sakura and Tenten must sign legal documents, declaring our authority of this agency before we can execute them. If this is not done, then the President of the United States will shut down this agency and every agent will be investigated due to the incident. We will be stripped of our status and applying for other occupations will be difficult; almost impossible. I will not rest until we get these agents. Other lives are at stake; your families' depend on the outcome of this situation. Every man in this room will be appointed to this as an additional case – Find the Senju sisters and bring them in for interrogation. Anything related to this mission must stay within the walls of the Bureau. Not even the other agencies such as CIA and MI6 can know of this," Danzo paused before continuing, "Now, I shall announce the names of the agents who are in charge of this mission: Kakashi Hatake, Genma Shiranui, Jiraya and Ibiki Morino."

Kakashi sighed.

'So it seems that my theory was right…now I have no choice BUT to believe it,' he said inwardly.

The anger was building up by the minute and Ino could not stand the other agents who were talking about Sakura and Tenten in completely awful ways. She needed to clear her mind so she left the building and headed out to the parking lot. Maybe a yoga session was what she needed. She opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat. She inhaled deeply and then exhaled before closing her eyes. Ino wanted to think…

She and Sakura had been very close friends ever since they got into the FBI. No, Ino was not going to sell her best friend out…not after the amount of times Sakura saved her neck on missions; not after the countless times Sakura had been there for her when she broke up with her boyfriend or when a relative died; not after the many fights they had gotten into because Sakura was trying to help her walk on the right path. Ino decided that she would get involved; to be there for Sakura as it seemed that Ino was the only one that could help – this was the time Sakura needed her most. And in getting involved, Ino knew she would help Tenten as well.

LATER…

Neji stared into the night's sky. The time had almost come – he was sure of it; it was almost time for the Blacklist Race to begin. He remembered when he was the Demon Shadow, representing Onikage. Now, it was Sasuke's turn to be the Demon. Neji knew that the gang leader would do well and decided not to linger his thoughts on the event any longer. He looked over at Tenten who was staring blankly at the floor. He could tell that she was bored.

"Tenten, would you care to join me in a Martial Arts session?" Neji asked the woman as he walked over to the cleared area of the room which was large enough for such an event.

Tenten looked at him with a dubious look and said, "I…I'm not very good at it, but okay then."

She made her way to the place Neji had chosen. Neji prepared in his signature stance while Tenten took a deep breathe in. She charged. Neji was swift with both his defenses and his attacks – Tenten was impressed. Their movements were rapid. Most of Tenten's blows were unsuccessful. With Neji, however, the case was different. Yes, Tenten blocked his attacks, but most of them she could not. Now, all Tenten could do was back away as she defended herself from Neji. Soon enough her back hit the wall and she began to panic. Neji was so formidable that it seemed as if he was going to actually kill her. He pressed his hand to her neck as if he were to strangle her. Their faces were so close to each other – their noses almost touched. His eyes looked so fierce that upon instinct, she looked away. The silence was getting too uncomfortable. She was glad when he decided to break it for she had no clue of what to say.

"I win," he said in a velvety tone before releasing her.

"I told you I sucked at Martial Arts," she muttered. Neji smirked.

"Get dressed – we're going to get dinner," he said before retreating to the bathroom.

Sakura sat with Itachi and the other gang members who were also waiting for the race to come to an end. She remembered what her husband had warned her about before getting into his car…

Sasuke walked over to the pavement where his wife and child stood. He got to Kagerou's level.

"Listen to your mother," he said as he pinched the child's cheek gently.

"Will you come back?" Kagerou asked her father innocently. Sasuke sighed and took off his black cap and put it on his daughter's head.

"Why don't you hold on to that for me? When I get back you can return it to me," he promised her indirectly. Then he got up to face Sakura, looking into her emerald orbs.

"Sakura," he began firmly as usual, "when I get into the car, I want you to wait with Itachi until I get back. Don't leave this place." Sakura made a confused face.

"I need you and Kagerou to stay away from that man called Kabuto Yakushi," Sasuke warned and Sakura followed his gaze to see the man her husband was talking about – the young man with grayish hair and round spectacles.

"Why-" she began but Sasuke cut her off, "Just do as I say…okay? It's for your own safety – both of you. Itachi knows what Kabuto is capable of…keep Kagerou with you always." Sasuke touched Sakura's cheek with his thumb before kissing her shortly but passionately…

After breaking away, Sasuke looked at his brother.

"Itachi," he acknowledged.

"Sasuke," his brother replied.

Sasuke then retreated to his car and waited for the host to begin the race.

"Uchiha Sasuke, Onikage's Demon Shadow for this year," said a voice at the side of him. Sasuke turned to the direction from which the voice came. To his right, in the other car, was a man with white hair and shark-like teeth – much like Kisame's. Sasuke did not say anything to the man and moved his gaze to the front.

"I hope you're ready, Uchiha, because this is going to be one nasty race," the man said.

"Hn…isn't it always," Sasuke said dryly, not making eye contact.

"Oh…you're accustomed to that crap?! My bad…I didn't know. What I do know is that this year, Onikage's rank will fall and the new number one gang WILL BE Basilisk. How does that sound for a change?" the man said. Sasuke's eyes met the pest's eyes this time.

"Go fuck yourself," Sasuke stated calmly before winding up the glass of his car. He wanted to avoid getting pissed off at such pitiful statements. Very soon a woman in a fitted leather suit came out onto the streets. She collected the racers' pink slips (A/N: term for the document establishing ownership of a vehicle). She made her way to the middle of the road and with the appropriate signals, she beckoned the racers to drive off. The race had begun…

Okay…the end of chapter 13: The Demon Shadow of the Streets Pt.1
