I watched as Sasuke picked the girl up and left the room. What she told me kept replaying in my mind.
Flash back
I sat there rocking the sobbing child. "Why do you say things like that little one?" I asked her as I rubbed circles on her back. "I don't lie, lying in wrong." She said, as she used my shirt to wipe her nose on.
I grimaced, but said nothing about it. "Tell me what happened?" I inquired. She looked at me and sniffed, "the sound guy."
"Orochimaru"
"I guess I was to frightened to find out his name. He wanted me for some reason. Something about my eyes, but there is nothing special about them. I was in a cage in a room, then Itachi came and told Orochimaru to let me go. He refused and did something with his hands to make a bright light." She said as she buried her head in my chest. "Then his body was on one side of the room and his head near me." She mummered with a muffled voice.
"Itachi" I repeated, pulling back, "no the other man."
"What happened to Itachi?" I questioned.
"He released me and hugged me, saying he loved me and told me to come here and tell Sasuke that he was sorry, that he wasn't the one to kill him. And then he....."
"Shh you need to rest" I said, using my sleeping justu on her, as I pushed her hair behind her ear.
"Hokage-sama" Iruka said.
"Yes?"
"That girl, will she be all right? She was covered in blood after all."He worried.
"Don't worry Iruka-kun. Sasuke will look after her. He may have hated his brother, but in some way he still loved him too." I said, he nodded and left the room. After my door was closed, my head fell on to my desk. "Damn it, Itachi, why do you do things like this?" I growled out.
I sighed as I walked down the street and looked at the girl I held in my arms.
"What have I got myself into?" I whispered. I opened the door to my apartment and sat the girl down on the couch. I looked her over, and noticed she was covered in blood. It was died and caked all over her. She needs and bath, but also rest. I could give her one. No. She is a girl; I am a guy. I can't, I know I will call one of the rookie nine girls.
I ran over to my phone and thought about who to call. If I call Sakura the girl won't get help. Ino is most likely out with Shino. Okay that leaves Tenten and Hinata. I picked up my phone and dialed, I rolled my eyes but did not hang up, I needed some help. I sighed again and glanced at the clock on my wall. It was only nine o clock.
"Hello, how may I help you?" a soft sweet voice responded. I blinked a couple of times trying to think why I called her. My mind was blank, just like the other times.
"Look you freak if you don't stop calling here and hanging up. I am going to find you and beat the shit out of you!" Hinata threatened, I blinked, not that she could see me, good thing to I blushed at how mad I have gotten her. I was about to hang up when the girl shifting in her sleep made me look at her, and the phone which Hinata was still yelling into.
"Hinata" I said her name.
"Sasuke, you're the one that has been calling here?" She asked.
"Yes" I told her. "Why?" she asked angrily. "I need your help." I stated, and waited for her answer, when the line went dead. I groaned and hung it up. I guess I'm on my own. First thing, get her something else to wear for now. An old T-shirt should do, I walked out of the room to my bedroom.
I should change shirts too, not all the blood was dried, I had some on me. I change after I get her cleaned up. I blinked a couple of times as I entered the main room and my door was kicked in by Hinata.
"Sasuke you shouldn't be walking around hurt like that." She answered. I stared as she pushed me down in a chair and tugged off my shirt.
"You two shouldn't do things like that in front of children you know." A soft voice said warningly, I blinked and Hinata blushed.
"She must have used a sleep jutsu on me." The little girl spoke out loud, sitting up and popping her back as she did.
"You must be Sasuke." she stated matter-of-factly, pointing at me. I just nodded
"And you are?" She glared at Hinata.
"Hinata Hyuga" she said quickly, rushing over to the girl.
"It is not mine and I am not hurt, but I would like a bath" she requested.
"Down the hall to the left." I directed.
