Author's Note: Konnichiwa Minna-san! Gomen, Gomen, GOMEN for the wait, I've
really been slacking off. I'll be back on the normal update schedule now.
^^;
Sasuke: The fic has been deranged and insane so far, but we've finally summoned up a plot!
Kabuto: So now there will be a point to the insanity and boring stuff! Also, we know what we're going to do so there won't be chapters of boring failed attempts to get a point across.
Rurouni: But the fan girl mob is staying! Insanity is life. ^___________^;;;;
Sasuke: -______________-; *cries alone*
Rurouni: Arigato for all the reviews! I love reviews!!! ^^ So R+R this chapter!!!
Kabuto: ^______________^ Now onto chapter 11!!!
P.S. Yes, the hotel rooms are not gender separated. You all know Kakashi; you really don't believe he would give people privacy right?
Kakashi: Hehehehe . . . students are so fun to mess with . . .
Itachi: *walks into the author's section of the fic* Uh...where am I?
R.C.: *perks up* ITACHI-KUN!!!!!!!!! KYAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! *glomps him*
Itachi: O__________o The pain of being a bishi . . .
(( The Otaku four have been yelling at me to update this fic . . . *Is drowned in the truck loads of hate mail from them* Look guys! I updated! Leave me alone!!!
Otaku four: WRITE FOOL!!!!!!!))
Chapter 11: Oblivion
"Here we are!" Kakashi exclaimed with an enthusiastic glee. Everyone stepped inside the restaurant, and they went up to the counter.
"Hi!" Kakashi said, and the man immediately recognized him. After all, Kakashi had spent hours getting the reservation for the restaurant, and had ranted on about the joys of M.O.P. and other randomness that Kakashi enjoys informing people about, who really could care less. The man then pointed to their table, and everyone sat down and looked at their menus. Once everyone was busy searching for what they wanted to eat, Kakashi enthusiastically announced ((Boy he's hyper. Hope he doesn't have any Sake...O_o Sasuke: Kakashi+Sake=The Apocalypse))
"I'll be right back everyone." And then he and Kabuto got up and went outside.
"Weirdo." Ino commented as they left. She then glanced over at Sasuke, who was sitting as far away from everyone as possible, especially Itachi.
*POOR BABY!!! Stupid guy with the weird cloak, making Sasuke-kun mad. And that evil freak Sakura, how DARE she touch my love?! He's MINE!!! ((R.C.: *HISSS!!!!!* How DARE she insult Itachi?! *Fire in eyes and is rabid*)) I'll show her . . . *
"Ino, Konoha to Ino." Kiba said.
"Wha-?!" Ino panicked, snapping back to life.
"The waiter will be coming soon. Stop fantasizing and decide what you want to eat."
"Whatever . . ." Ino replied.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Blood. The crimson liquid smothered the grass and danced on the trees. On his boots, face, hands, everywhere. Bodies lay on the ground. Bodies of men he had never seen before.
*Where . . . am I?*
Shouting, screams of pain, howls of death, all around him.
*What's going on? How did I get here? Why-*
A bush rustled and a man walked out of the woods and stepped into the clearing, the dusk sky illuminating everything.
"You came to your senses? You are worthless then."
*I've seen this guy before. Before- before what? Before nothing? What's happening to me?!*
"There is nothing you can do. Truth is such a hideous creature. Why bother to seek it? Don't worry, I'll spare you the waste . . . after all, the destiny that we all share . . . is death."
The man raised a kuni from his holster and prepared to throw it at him.
"Over here! Run!"
He turned to see a gray haired bespectacled man calling to him. There was nothing else he could do. He followed the man away from the corpses and the other man. As he ran, he could hear the other man curse,
"Kabuto you serpent!" but then all faded away into the pound of his boots on the ground, and the heave of his own breath. He had been tired before he had ever started to run. Why? . . .
The man now stood alone among the slain.
"Perhaps . . . I could just do it again, he does hold worth to me . . . "
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Itachi tried to wipe the memory from his mind.
*I still don't know what's going on . . . why has this happened? Why are they dead? It's my fault . . .*
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kakashi and Kabuto stepped out into the brisk night air.
"Have you found anything?" Kabuto asked Kakashi, who knew what he was talking about.
"No, and we still don't know the motivation. You were right about keeping this quiet, we shouldn't tell the genin (and one chuunin!). But are you sure it's better that we kept them away from the leaf and not near it?"
"Yes, until we find them it's better if we stayed away."
Kakashi absorbed Kabuto's words and then turned to head back inside. Kabuto followed him.

Author's other note: Again, Gomen for the REALLY, REALLY long wait! I had a history final, so I was really busy. (Evil history!!!!) It's winter break now though, (WHOO!!!) so I'm going to make up for the time I slacked off!!! Chapters will be updated more than once a week, so check back a lot.
Sasuke: This chapter was a plot setter, as you can tell. So the chapters from now on will be much better than the insane ramble from before.
Kabuto: Yay!
Rurouni: *devises to make things interesting* R+R everyone!!! Also, if you have a question about the fic, or would like to see someone more (But remember, it's my fic so I can't assure it'll happen) then post your e-mail when you review, or just e-mail me directly with the question. ^^ See you all next chapter!!!
