Ok, here's chapter.. what is it?.. chapter16? Anywho.. for all those readers who aren't quite sure who Koji is or what he has to do with Sakura, THIS IS THE CHAPTER TO READ.! I tried to fill in the blanks for y'all.Hope you likey!
Koji paused from his desent down the large staircase to study his reflection in the mirror that hung on the wall beside his head.A slight smile crept on his face as the edges of his lips curved on his soft features suddenly after hearing an angry cry echo through the hall and down the staircase where he stood.Immediatly he knew that it had come from the room where he had stationed Sakura and it was indeed her cry that played with so many fowel words.
"My, my Sakura.Don't you have a mouth on you."Koji whispered."A beautiful mouth as it is sharp."He grinned to him self.
"Koji what do you think you're doing.?"Came a stern voice from infront of him.Removing his gaze from the mirror he turned to gaze down at a younge women standing at the bottom of the staircase.Her long purple hair tied into two ponytails that fell over her shoulders, leaving her sharp bangs spiking up then falling over her face.She had piercing golden eyes that glared angirly towards him.
"Whatever do you mean dear sister?"He smiled calmly shrugging his shoulders in pure innocence.Koji watched as she began up the stairs towards him with large confident strides untill she came to a stop before him.Her face leaning into his, challenging him to once again take her question as a mere joke.
"You know exactly what I mean so you better give me answers.What are you thinking kidnapping a pregnant women.!"She cried.But once again Koji's expression only held amusment at what his sister thought of as serious.
"I did not kidnappe her, Kana.She came here on her own free will." Koji tried to assure her with a friendly touch on her shoulder.Then stepped around her and begun his slow decent down the stairs, his gloved hands slipping into the pockets of his pants.
"Well it curtainly doesn't some like it!"Kana turned to follow him, defiantly not allowing thier conversation to end untill she got every single piece of information.She heard him chuckle in response but failed to stop.
"Sakura is merely confused at this time, as to whom she truly loves and who loves her in return."He replyed.Kana gasped slightly in surprise then swiftly moved to stop his desent by convienatly placing her body infront of him.Finally she was able to look into his eyes, which looked back at her strangely.His red sharigen seeming to pierce deep within her very soul as she always feared it did.Something about that eye that Father had givin to him before his death, just wasn't natural.She knew very little about that strange eye that could amazingly copy any jutus anytime and seem to see into the near future.Just that it wasn't of this family, that it had been givin to her father as a gift from an old friend that rained from a clan called Uchika just before his death.But father had failed to tell her and Koji any more than that.
"What are you saying, Koji?"She whispered.Suddenly fearfull of what his answer would be."That you love that women?"She asked.Her voice shaking alittle bit when she saw him turn his gaze away down to the floor.Once again shutting his eyes from her gaze as he had a habit of doing.
"With the entirty of my heart."He replyed.Kana stared wide eyed at her brother in surprise, that morphed into concern.She reached out an grabbed his shoulders, roughly shaking him in silent attemp to snap his back to reality and back to his sences.As he had surely lost them.
"Koji, do you realize what you're saying?That you're in love with a women you just met a couple hours ago!That's insane it it's possible to feel that way that soon."She shouted.
"You're wrong"He replyed."We're in love. She loves me as I love her, I don't suppose that you would know anything like that,..."His words were immediatly regrated as an expression of pain was masked on her face.Her gaze fell to the floor by her feet as tears clouded her vision.Koji swollowed nervously."Kana.. I'm sorry.I didn't mean it.I know that you loved Ryo very much and I also know that a large part of you died that day along with him."Koji reached up to gently grasp her hand that gripped his shoulder.
"It's alright Koji.But I think you're forgetting something.Sakura's married to Hatake Kakashi.The copy ninja.She's having his baby."Her gaze turned up to met his yet Koji saw no tears that he'd been expecting to see at the mention of Ryo.Instead, her hand left his and crossed over her chest.
"Kakashi."She heard his voice change drastically as a snrt of disguse escaped his lips.He once again calmly stepped around his sister, continueing down the stairs."That bastard has warped Sakura's mind into thinking that he loves her but his past will never allow his cold heart to even comprehend the meaning.And deep down, Sakura knows this."Koji replyed as he reached the bottom of the staircase, turning briefly to gaze over at his sister who stood still on the stairs."And that's why I've brung her here, to clear her mind."Koji flashed her a smile before walking through the large doorway down the hall.
A sudden loud bang echoed throughout the main hallway beside where she stood, followed by a huge cloud of dust that covered the room ceiling to floor withan endless grey.Kana quickly held her arm to her mouth inorder to stop any of that cloud entering her lungs, as her squinted gaze searched the cloud for any clues as to what had caused it but found it immposible.She swiftly leapt upon the railing and pushed herself deep into the merky dust when she heard a loud moan.Searching by feeling only due to the fact her eyes were completly useless, she found a shinobi laying on the floor before her.Knelling down beside the man as the dust began to settle around the room, she found him mouning in pain, gribbing his jaw as it bleed freely threw his fingers covering his skin in red.
"What happened.?"Kana asked.
"My jaw.!"His cry mummbled by the blood captured around his lips and throat"She broke my jaw."Kana blinked as her gaze lifted to the wall where she saw the large hole leading from the room her brother had just left.Her eyes narrowed in impression at the strange women's unhuman strength.
Sakura cracked her knuckles as she unfocused any chakra that she had called upon inorder to perform the assume strenght Tsunde had taught her back in the days where she served as her apprentice.Feeling highly pround of herself for whatever and certain damage she'd inflicked to the jaw of that shinobi working under Koji. Even the light kick she felt within her large stomache convinced her that the baby shared in her proudness.
She quickly moved towards the hole inflicked to the wall in an attempt to escape from her prision.Needing to free herself from this crazy man's costody and return back to where Kakashi was at the very least sick with worry.
Suddenly a slender finger appeared infron of her, effectively blocking Sakura from her exit.Stopping before she ran into the women, Sakura proceeded to glare daggers at the purle haired women in front of her, but somehow felt as if her threatening gaze failed to intimidante this women as she remained completey passive.
"You should've do that."She finally spoke up after what had to be a minute of of slience.Sakura's mouth opened to reply but the women continued."At least when the barrior no Jutus is around this room."
"Nice try but if there was a Barrior one I would have senced it and two it wouldn't have let you in just now."Sakura cocked her head to the side , challenging her words with douby. But the women merly stepped aside, once again creating nothing between Sakura and the hole.
"The barrior only applys to your DNA."The women replyed."Anyone else can pass through no problem."Sakura inwardly cursed.
"Only applys to me, does it.?I'm flattered."Sakura smirked."Let's say I do believe you, why are you telling me?"Sakura asked slightly suspisiously.The women calmly leaned her back agaisnt the wall before answering.
"Because I want answers.My name's Kana. Koji's my little brother."Sakura raised her eyebrows in surprise, they looked absolutly nothing alike."And my questions concern him actually.Koji's begun to believe with 'the entirty of his heart' as he so put it, that you and him are in love."Kana looked up from her arms which were crossed over her chest when she heard a snort.
"Well your brother's delusional."Sakura retorted, as she sank into the small couch across the room.
"So it isn't true.?"Kana movedowards her, grabbing a wooden chair and setting it down infront of the couch.
"Of course it isn't true.I love my husband besides,I don't even know your brother."Sakura replyed.
"But he seems to know you, at least enough to convince himself that you two have developed a romantic relationship."Kana rubbed the bridge of her nose with a sigh.
"Koji seems to know my husband, Hatake Kakashi.But I don't.."Sakura paused as she saw Kana had froze suddenly.
'Kakashi... that's it.'She thought.'The reason Koji has become delusional towards Sakura, the reason why everything was happening.'
"Kana.?"Sakur's voice sanpped Kana from her thoughts as golden eyes fell upon green ones.
"Revenge."Kana whispered.Sakura sat up straight in her chair, totally confussed as to what the women meant.Sakura was silent, awaiting Kana's continuation or expanition of what is it that she meant, but the younge women made her wait as she herself ran thoughts through her head.Once again Kana's eyes left Sakura's to focus on the floor, then rose to her feet calmly walked away.Sakura watched in suspense as Kana paced the room, beginning to grow immpatiant herself.
"Waht do you mean.?"Sakura asked.
"What does the name...Ryo... mean to you.?"Sakura heard her voice crack when she spoke the name.immediatly figuring that what she spoke of was a touchy subject.
"I don't know anyone by that name."Sakura whispered, noticing how Kana had managed to put a good space between her and Sakura as the sound of breathing remained the only thing to hear in the sudden silence.
"Ryo..was my husband."Kana spoke softly but enough for Sakura to hear."Kojo's brother."
"But I thought-"
"Me and Koji are half siblings.I married into this family when I was married to Ryo.He...was killed in a battle little over two years ago."Sakura's heart felt like it was breaking along with Kana's.It was held in how much pain she spoke in her words.
"I'm sorry to hear that."Sakura replyed.
"As soon as I found out, there were rumors going around on the circumstances in which Ryo was taken from me.One of those rumors was that the copy-ninja was linked to the incident."Sakura gasped at the mention of that name.'No.It couldn't be.'She thought."Later the fact was proven by the surviving memberd of Ryo's squad."
"I'm so sorry."She whispered softly.
"Don't be.I hold no such grudge towards Kakashi.I know every shinobi must do as he must in times of war, even though I miss my husband.I have made my peace.But unfortunatly, Koji has not.He still holds great hatrid within his heart for what's been done.Father's gift, the Sharigen, only served to make his hatrid grow.After he died, Koji truly had no one but me."Kana turned to gaze over at Sakura for a moment."I must speak with my brother."And before Sakura was able to responed she was gone.
