Chapter 4

"Encounter"

"Are you sure we're not gonna get in trouble for being all the way out here? Cause I'm not allowed to be this far from the city!" Kano babbled on behind his two best friends as they walked further into the woods.

"If your gonna be such a whiney baby then just go back." Sanosuke said simply.

"I AM NOT A BABY!" Kano yelled furiously.

"WILL YOU BOTH JUST SHUT UP!" Akira yelled suddenly before Sanosuke could even open his mouth. The two boys jumped back in surprise and did indeed kept their mouths shut for the rest of the way.

"FINALLY! We're here!" Kano yelled happily as he flopped down on the ground. "Now lemme see them!" He said taking the bag from Sanosuke, not bothering to wait for an answer.

He opened the bag to reveal numerous Kunai and Shuriken. "Oooh…My Tousan would never let me borrow his! How'd you get your Tousan to let you?" Kano asked.

Sanosuke smirked. "I didn't really ask." He said simply. Akira's eyes widened while Kano just looked confused.

"Huh…? You didn't ask?" Akira hit him on the head.

"You idiot! It means that he took them without permission from his Tousan!"

Kano's eyes widened also. "Ooooh….So, you stole them!" He exclaimed.

"Iie, I didn't steal them dobe! I just borrowed them." Sanosuke said smartly.

Akira just rolled her eyes while Kano believed his theory.

"Anyway, now we can really train. Without having to go easy on each other and not use weapons like we have to at the academy." Sanosuke said as he grabbed some Kunai.

"I'm gonna beat your butt Sanosuke!" Kano yelled as he stood and took fighting position.

"Hn. We'll see dobe!" Sanosuke replied getting into position also.

Akira simply rolled her eyes as she watched the two glare at each other.

Sasuke walked into the living room to see his wife getting ready to head to work at the hospital. He smirked while leaning against the door frame, watching his wife curse about not being able to find her bag.

He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, causing her to yelp in surprise.

"Sasuke! You scared me!" Sakura said, annoyed.

"Hn." Sasuke said simply, planting a soft kiss on his wife's neck earning him a giggle from her.

"Where's Sanosuke?" Sasuke said after a while.

"He's at Kano's, and said that he'd be spending the night there tonight." She answered, leaning her head against Sasuke's chest, closing her eyes.

"Hm…Good." Sasuke said quietly while planting more kisses along his wife's neck.

"Sasuke! I have to get to work." Sakura said while turning around and slapping her husbands prying hands away. Sasuke grabbed her around the waist and pulled her back to him, planting a hard kiss on her mouth.

"Call in." He said against her mouth.

Sakura didn't get a chance to reply when Sasuke kissed her mouth once again, making her almost want to consider his proposal.

Sakura pulled away smiling. "You know I can't Sasuke." Sakura said while Sasuke scowled, making her giggle.

She pulled him towards her and whispered in his ear. "I promise I'll make it up to you tonight Sasuke-kun." She said in a seductive voice, making Sasuke want her even more.

"Hn. I'll be looking forward to it." He smiled.

Sasuke walked down the road, thinking over what the Hokage, who happened to be Naruto, wanted to talk with him about. Everything had been going fine for the past 8 years, and surprisingly very peaceful for Konoha. He had defeated Itachi and Orochimaru, and Konoha had been peaceful since then.

Sasuke knocked on the Hokage's office door, after a few moments he heard Naruto call him in.

"What'd you want to see me about Dobe?" He asked, still using the old nick name.

Naruto, to Sasuke's surprise didn't retort the insult, but instead looked troubled. Sasuke's eyes narrowed at this, then shifted to the left of he room where he saw Kakashi sitting, and for once did not have his Icha Icha Paradise book out.

Naruto cleared his throat.

"Sasuke…" Naruto started uncertainly.

Sasuke growled in annoyance. "Just tell me already, what the hells the matter?"

"Sasuke. Itachi and Orochimaru have been spotted." Kakashi said quickly, getting to the point.

Sasuke felt his legs literally weaken beneath him; he quickly grabbed the edge of the table for support.

"W-what…?" And for once, Uchiha Sasuke was speechless.

"Crap! It's already five! I gotta get going!" Kano said as he stood up. Akira hit him on his head. "Don't say Crap! My Tousan says it's a bad word!" Akira yelled annoyed. (Their only seven after all)

"Hey Sano, did you tell your Mom you were spending the night at my house?" Kano asked his friend who was currently resting on the grass with his eyes closed.

"Hn." He answered simply.

"Well then get your butt up! My Tousan's gonna kill me if I'm late!" Kano said angrily.

"Just go ahead, I'll catch up."

"Fine! Not my fault if you get in trouble!" Kano said quickly as he left running into the forest.

Akira gave one last glance at Sanosuke before turning around. "Ja ne! Sano!" She yelled and ran after Kano.

Sanosuke let out a sigh before sitting up and gathering up the weapons. At least now he could learn without anyone holding him back, he thought to himself as he hoisted the bag on his back and stood up.

He stopped as he was about to move when he heard something outside the clearing. "Kano? Akira?" He asked, thinking it was one of his friends. Feeling a presence behind him he quickly turned around. His eyes immediately widened at what he saw. Golden snake like eyes.

"Iie…I-it cant be…" He stuttered.

"My Tousan killed you! He told me so himself!" Sanosuke said, confused. His Father had told him stories about this man, and he had certainly heard plenty from the villagers. He knew he was Orochimaru, he had even seen a picture of the man himself! But how could he be alive. Everyone knows he had been killed by his own Father himself! Hadn't he…?

"You must be my former pupil's son, there's no mistaking it." Orochimaru said in a cool voice.

"W-what do you want?" Sanosuke said, trying not to stutter but failing to do so. 'I have to be strong!' he thought to himself.

"You have something I need…" Said the snake-like-nin, walking closer

"How the hell can this be? I killed them both! You were there!" Sasuke yelled angrily.

"We don't know how yet teme!" Naruto yelled back.

"Are you sure it was them? And not someone else." Sasuke said, starting to calm down a little.

"Hai. We're sure. A few ANBU nin said that they had spotted both of them, on the outskirts of the city. I have ordered more ANBU to guard the city." Naruto said as he sat back down.

Kakashi sighed inwardly. This couldn't possibly be happening again. They were all silent until they heard some yelling from outside the door. It sounded like two kids yelling back at someone.

The door finally burst open. "Hey! You can't go in there!" An ANBU member yelled at the two kids.

"Let them be." Naruto said quickly as he noticed that it was only his son and Akira.

"T-tousan!" Kano yelled as he ran to his Father.

"Eh? Kano what's up?" Naruto asked concerned at the frightened look on his son's face.

"Sanosuke! He's gone!" Akira yelled.

"What? Are you sure he's not just playing?" Naruto asked.

"Iie Tousan! He was taken!" Kano yelled, his eyes tearing up. Sasuke felt his legs weaken once again.

"Kano. Who? Do you know who took him?" Kakashi asked seriously as he kneeled down in front of Kano. Kano nodded his head.

Flashback

"Man! What's taking him so long!" Kano yelled.

Akira hit him on his head again. "Don't yell! He probably just fell asleep."

"Well then lets go wake him up!" Kano snickered as he turned around and started to run back to the clearing.

Akira sighed and followed. "Aw…more running!"

She kept running till she noticed that Kano had stopped and was now at the edge of the clearing with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Kano…what's wrong?" She asked. After not getting an answer she turned her head his way, causing her eyes to also widen.

"N-not…possible." She whispered.

Kano unconsciously clenched his fist and stood up.

"Kano. What are you doing? Are you mad?" Akira whispered angrily.

Kano walked forward without listening.

"HEY! LET GO OF SANO!" He yelled from behind Orochimaru who had Sanosuke by the wrist.

"Ah…Naruto's boy. Also quite obvious. Tell your Tousan I said 'Hi'." He snickered as he disappeared, taking Sanosuke with him.

"SANOSUKE!" Kano yelled hopelessly.

"Sano…" Akira whispered. She quickly pulled herself together and stood up.

"Come on Kano. We have to tell everyone!" She urged as she grabbed the shocked boys hand and started to run back to the city.

End of Flashback

Sasuke didn't need to know anymore before he sprinted into a run out of the office, Naruto yells of protest being left behind.

'How could this happen? How could they still be alive! How?' Sasuke's mind kept asking. He was suddenly stopped by a hand grabbing his arm. He looked down to see his wife in tears.

"Sasuke!" She choked out. She had obviously heard the news. He pulled her into a tight hug, as she continued to sob uncontrollably.

"S-sasuke! T-they have h-him…" She cried into his chest. He stroked her hair, trying to calm her down. While on the inside he was furious. How dare they come back and target his family.

"Shh…I know Sakura. I'll get him back. I promise." Sasuke whispered into his wife's ear.

"I know you will…" She whispered back.

Ooooh….They finally make their appearance! Well at least Orochimaru did. What do they want with poor Sanosuke? And what's Sasuke gonna do about it! FIND OUT NEXT CHAPPY! (Reviews are most welcomed! )
