Thank you so much to katydid001 for your faithful editing and improving my story ❤️❤️ its a match made in fanfiction heaven.
Katsumi closed her locker with a slam. Her skin was sticky with blood and sweat. She was dressed in a short-sleeve shirt and a pair of grey sweatpants. Anything was better than the grey sack of a vest they had to wear. All things considered, the young wolf-nin was just happy for her mission to be over.
It was late afternoon but to the exhausted ninja it felt like it should be midnight. She made sure her mask was firmly in place before she stepped out into the bright, bustling streets of Konoha.
"Looks like someone could use an orange juice." Obito fell into place beside the silver-haired kunoichi and gave her arm a gentle nudge.
Katsumi's tired eyes lit up at the sight of her raven-haired boyfriend. She nodded her head as he led them down a different intersecting street.
They stopped at a quaint little shop where Obito purchased them fresh fruit juice. With drinks in hand, they strolled casually along the street. Katsumi slipped fingers into Obito's as she listened to him intently. He regaled her with the story of how badly he whupped Shisui's butt after she had left their training.
The curly-haired kunoichi snorted at this, careful not to spill any of her juice. The average onlooker saw nothing due to her impossibly fast actions while she pulled her mask down and took a sip before replacing it.
Obito smirked as he observed her. He noticed the dark circles under her heterochromatic eyes before he let go of her hand.
Katsumi spun to look at him with a curiosity in her fatigued eyes. It was then that the Uchiha teen wrapped an arm around her waist to keep her upright. A deep blush spread across her nose, but she happily let it happen.
As the pair headed in the direction of Katsumi's home, Obito continued to tell her about his victory. "You should have seen his face, babydoll. Teach that brat to put a kunai on my girl's throat," his voice was low and full of amusement.
'Poor Shisui-kun,' she giggled as she signed. 'He wouldn't have even seen it coming,'
"So… I was thinking of joining the Konoha Police Force. But I'm not sure if I'll make it…" Obito was cut off by a light elbow to the ribs.
'Are you kidding? No one is stupid enough to turn you down, Obi! You would be perfect!' her swift hands conveyed her excitement. All too soon they arrived at the steps to her apartment.
'I'm exhausted, Obi. I'm going to go take a nap before I pass out on the street.' Katsumi wobbled in place, her unstable legs emphasised her words.
Obito took the empty juice cup from her hands as he climbed the stairs with her. He held her upright so she could unlock the door. With a gentle smile he released her waist.
"Come see me when you wake up, hm?" The dark-haired Uchiha gave a devilish grin that made Katsumi pause in her tracks.
Katsumi pulled her mask down before she reached up on her toes to place a chaste kiss on his unsuspecting lips. "I'll see you when I wake," she whispered up to him. With that she stepped back and closed the door with a quiet click.
"And in your dreams too I hope…" Obito stared at the wood before he let out a deep chuckle. With a smirk he spun around and started to make his way back home.
Katsumi let out a dreamy sigh as she leant back against the smooth surface. Her mask bunched at the base of her neck, which allowed the dazed kunoichi to pull her precious necklace from its hiding spot. The pendant was warm as she pressed it against her flushed lips. With a deep breath she stumbled her way to her room. She pushed open her bedroom door and dropped her bag to the floor.
A sudden chill shot up her spine. Immediately her mismatched eyes locked on her window.
When did I leave that open? Her tired brain couldn't recall if she had actually closed it before she left for her mission. She took a deep breath, but before she could act the door beside her slammed her body into the wall. Katsumi let out a shocked cry as the force knocked her back.
A hand slapped hard over her mouth, a sweet smelling fabric covered her airways. Katsumi took a reflexive breath before she threw her head backwards. There was a brutal crack and a cry from her assailant. The young kunoichi went to turn around but before she could complete the action the gas kicked in. Her vision began to blur. Her already tired body lost all its strength. In the seconds it took for the young kunoichi to fall to the floor, she tugged her necklace loose and clenched it tightly in her fist.
"Little bitch," hissed the enemy as he pulled open the window. The kidnapper wiped the blood from his nose and spat at the girl on the ground. He picked up the young teen up with ease, he tossed her limp form over his shoulder.
A triumphant smirk spread across his pale face before he slithered away with the target.
Night had just begun to fall when Kakashi finally returned from his long mission. The silver-haired boy slipped his key into the slot only to frown when he realised the door was already unlocked. Kakashi knew his sister would never make that mistake. He flung the door open and sniffed the air in their home. Katsumi's scent was faint, which did nothing to calm the teenager's nerves. His dark eyes fell on his sister's bedroom door which rested uncharacteristically ajar.
Icy panic shot through his veins as he bolted for her room. The door slammed against the wall in his haste. Katsumi's bed sat untouched, her rucksack abandoned on the floor. Her window was fully open, cold air circulated around the empty space.
Dread pooled in the male twin's stomach as a strange scent hit his sensitive nose. He crossed the room to the source of the smell. With cautious fingers he plucked a white cloth from the floor, the airy scent confirmed his worst fears.
"Motherfucker! Chloroform?!" Kakashi growled, his voice cracked with emotion. He dropped the cloth and wasted no time as he pulled a scroll from his pouch. He unfurled it across the floor with a flutter. With a prick of his sharp canine he used his blood to summon one of his most loyal companions.
"Whats up, boss?" Pakkun's gruff voice was music to Kakashi's anxious ears.
"Some fucker has kidnapped Katsumi! We need to find her!" Kakashi's voice was all over the place. His hands reacted to the stress by animatedly signing his words as he said them, a habit that came from a lifetime of stressful arguments with Katsumi.
"Keep calm, boss. We will find the little pup." The pug started to actively sniff the wooden floor. "There are traces of foreign blood, it looks like she put up a fight."
The wolf shinobi growled as he got to his feet, "Lets get her back." Kakashi plucked his ninken from the floor and leapt to the ground below. He let Pakkun jump from his arms before he took off in a sprint after Katsumi's trail.
"Shouldn't we report her missing to Lord Fourth? Backup is always a good idea, boss," Pakkun called out as he ran beside the emotional teen.
Kakashi paused in his stride as his mind raced at a million miles an hour. He had thought about adding the entire pack to his summons, but right now he wished he already had. He tugged at his choppy silver locks in thought. "But the longer we wait, the further away the bastard gets."
"Boss, her trail is faint, it has to be a couple of hours old," the ninken hated to amplify his master's pain, but logic demanded he speak up.
"DON'T SAY THAT!" Kakashi snarl cracked in a mixture of puberty and irrational anger.
"Don't say what?" a familiar voice called out from behind them.
Kakashi spun around to see Obito with his arms laden with chunks of wood. An old lady brought up the rear, a couple of logs clutched to her chest.
As Obito took in the panic in his teammate's eyes, his own anxiety began to bubble to the surface. The Uchiha teen ran through the gate into the front yard beside him and dumped the wood into a pile by the elderly lady's front door.
"I am so sorry, ma'am; but I have to help my friend." He excused himself with a bow and sprinted over to the frozen Kakashi.
"We need to tell the Hokage, boss," Pakkun repeated in his rough voice.
"Kakashi, what is going on?" Obito had to prod the silver shinobi's arm to snap him out of his daze.
"Shit," Kakashi shook himself to attention and spun to Obito with fear plain in his gaze. "I'll explain on the way. Pakkun, you go alert Minato-sensei," his tone was sharp and final.
Obito had no choice but to follow the frantic silver shinobi as he took off without another word. "I've seen that look on your face before." The dark-haired shinobi couldn't help but recall the expression on Kakashi's face when Katsumi had taken off after the enemy when they snatched Rin during the Kannabi bridge mission. "Where is Katsumi?! Kakashi, answer me?!"
Kakashi searched the air for any small hint of his sister's scent. "I don't know, that's the problem." Finally he found her trail and launched himself in that direction.
The raven-haired Uchiha cursed as he kept up with his hysterical friend, "Fuck! But I walked her home?! How?!"
"Her window was wide open. You and I both know she's not strong enough to lift the glass all the way up. There was blood on the floor, so she must have injured the kidnapper. But I think they drugged her with chloroform," Kakashi panted as he followed the trail up onto the roof tops.
"DRUGGED HER? Who the fuck would have the balls to pull a stunt like this?" Obito spat in disgust. He skidded to a stop on the roof slates as his companion froze.
Kakashi spotted a small shiny object discarded on the edge of the roof. Kakashi picked up the needle, avoiding the sharp end. "Looks like Katsumi wouldn't stay down," he muttered as he turned to meet Obito's furious eyes.
Kakashi sniffed the air intently, his sensitive nose searched their surroundings for anything important. He huffed through his nostrils as he locked onto her trail once again. Both young men took off together at incredible speeds.
"I have no idea who did this, but I'm going to kill them," The silver-haired twin snarled as they leapt but down to the dirt below.
Something red caught the raven-haired Uchiha's eye. The street lights glinted off its metallic surface as the teen boy sunk down to pick up the object.
"What is it, Obito?" Kakashi's voice was laced with apprehension.
Obito held the delicate Uchiha pendant up to the light so that the male twin could get a good look at it. The leather cord was snapped, the usually pristine crest was covered in mud. The potent smell of Katsumi's fear clung to the necklace, igniting a deep smouldering fury within the Uchiha. Crimson started to seep into his vision as rage began to take over. "You better hope you get there first, Kakashi, because when I find this motherfucker," his voice dropped into a deep guttural growl. "There won't be anything left."
With a mutually murderous look, the pair took off once again, a cloud of dust hung in their wake. Eventually the trail led the shinobi outside of the village and deep into the surrounding forests. The glow of the street lights faded behind the two as darkness surrounded them. Kakashi kept his nose to the wind even as Katsumi's scent became fainter when the damp of the night set in.
"Her trail is so faint... We gotta go faster." Kakashi pumped chakra into his legs to pick up the pace. Obito followed closely beside him.
They traced her weak scent deep into the forest. Abruptly, the trail came to an end. A foreboding stone entrance sat buried in the earth. Kakashi slowed to a stop in the small clearing, his dark eyes flicked over to his comrade. Obito's obsidian orbs held a look of unwavering resolve.
'Keep an eye out for anything suspect,' the silver-haired shinobi signed to the teen beside him.
Obito nodded in silent understanding, his lone red sharingan glowed hauntingly in the moonless night. In unison, the boys approached the hideout and crept down into the entrance. It was pitch black inside, but the Uchiha boy's sharingan could see the flow of a figure's chakra in the middle of the entryway.
Kakashi slipped a hand into his pouch and pulled out a small clear tube. He snapped the object and shook the contents, a small glow began to emanate from the stick.
Obito took the cylinder from his comrade's hand and shook his head firmly before the wolf shinobi could protest.
'Stay,' Obito gave a firm hand sign before he cast Kakashi a look that pinned the silver shinobi to his spot.
For once in his life, Kakashi raised his hands in surrender. Something about this situation seemed off to him. His eyes followed Obito into the strange cave. The teen was hit with a nauseating feeling of unease.
The Uchiha grit his teeth as he ventured into the unknown, he held the light source out in front of him to improve his field of vision. His footsteps echoed off the stone floor as he crossed the cavernous room.
A high-pitched groan came from the figure ahead of him, which encouraged the young man to pick up the pace. Finally the person came into view. A small form sat tied to a chair in the middle of the room, a pale sack slung over their head. Obito didn't even look at the figure's clothes before he jumped to conclusions.
"Katsumi?" he gasped. Without a second thought he dropped to his knees and pulled the fabric from the individual's face. His heart sunk as purple hair greeted him instead of the silver locks he was hoping for. He released a drawn-out breath before he tugged on the strange girl's bonds, in spite of his disappointment. The girl remained limp and unresponsive as he untied the knots that held her captive.
Kakashi watched from the entrance of the cave, his shoulders sagged as Obito revealed someone other than his twin under the sack. Reflexively the wolf ninja took a step forward. He heard the distinct sound of paper as it scrapped against the side of his sandal. In the darkness he made out the faint inky outline of a paper bomb.
"Obito, it's a TRAP!" Kakashi screamed as he threw himself backwards. The detonation resulted in brutal force that flung the silver-haired shinobi out into the clearing.
Obito turned his head to see a series of blasts ignite along the wall.
An ear-splitting explosion erupted from the underground hideout. Flames licked at the air from the entrance of the cave, a fierce blaze burning in the aftermath.
Kakashi's ears rang as he slowly pushed himself up with trembling arms, he propped himself up on his elbows as he stared back at the roaring inferno. "Obito…" his voice was distraught as he watched on in horror.
A loud splutter from beside him caught his attention. Kakashi turned to see Obito and the purple-haired stranger fall to the ground from within a swirling black portal. Relief flooded his body as he watched his friend roll onto his back in the grass and cough his lungs out.
"That's a new trick…" his voice came out raspy with pain. "Thank Kami you're alive…" Kakashi croaked to the teen beside him. He earned a grimace from his dark-haired teammate.
"Yeah…" the Uchiha chuckled before he coughed violently once again. "But... we still have to find Katsumi…"
