In the forest between Suna and Konoha
Running through the forest with his best ninja speed, the man tried to make an acceptable distance between him and his pursuers. He could feel 2 chakras signatures behind him which annoyed him to no end. He thought he would have had a little more time ahead from them but it seemed that his escape was as brutal as he thought. The village had probably sent the top shinobis to track him down. He just wanted some money! Why was he always trapped in this kind of situation? He signed and took an explosive tag from his pocket. He put it carelessly on the trunk of the nearest tree and ran off faster than ever. When he sensed the 2 humans approached the tag he laced his fingers together and it exploded. He groaned hoping that he could ask an augmentation for these little inconveniences… He was always in that kind of shit because he was a poor thief always in need of money. If only he hadn't over dropped his conversation everything would have been fine and that man hadn't asked in to steal a map in the Kazekage's office.
FLASHBACK
A day ago…
A slender figure jumped from the tree he was standing in to touch down in front of an old man. He smirked viciously looking at the elder who tried as hard as he can to not flinch. He hadn't sense his presence until he jumped in front of him.
"You won't believe who pinned down the door of Lord Hyuuga's office, sir…"
His smirk grew wider.
"Let me guess… A beautiful woman with a hidden past and who is attached to sharp objects?"
He let out a laugh as the aged man just smiled weakly.
"I couldn't believe that she came back after hiding in all the countries… I wish I could kill her in the same spot as her mother died. It will be a so delectable… torture!"
"Lord Hyuuga declared her as his bride to be."
The tall man narrowed his eyes.
"What?!?" He hissed.
The elder avoided his cold glance. For some reasons and for several minutes, he just stared at his feet finding the bottom of his honorific robs somehow interesting.
"Lord is probably out of mind… He was supposed to marry Lady Amaya according to the plan but he surprised everyone by saying he had already found someone."
"No way… This country was supposed to be in our hands after the assassination of Lord Hyuuga right after the wedding! It destroyed our plans!"
A killer aura surrounded him as fast as the light. The old man backed off a little. Sometimes, he really asked himself why he was obeying this man. Yes… it was because he had the power to kill everybody that stands in his way. He was at the head of the economy of all the nations and he was at the head of the clan which made him a subordinate. It was his fate to obey him.
"Yes… and Lady Amaya is not pleased at all. She wishes to kill My Lady."
He ran his hand in his black beard. She was his target damn it!
"There's no way I will let my niece kill her but at the same time… She can bring her to me…"
He smirked. Yes… Amaya will bring her to him like that she could die and he could see her blood. Chills of excitements traveled through his spine as he chuckled lightly. The old man looked at him worriedly. Was he gone crazy or something?
"Sir, are you sure? I mean we are talking about one of the Deadly Weapons… Even you had some difficulties to get rid of them."
The black haired man grabbed the neck of the elder and pinned him to a tree. His back hit it loudly and painfully causing him to let out a yelp of pain. The old man gasped seeing an evil glint burning insanely in his blue cold eyes.
"Are you calling me weak?"
"N-noo-noot a-att a-al-all!" He shuttered trying to calm him down.
He smirked enjoying seeing the old man suffered. He could see his fear and his pain. He liked it, this feeling of superiority and the way every human begs for life afraid of the unknown death... It was the same pleasant emotion each time one member of his clan was with him or when he was about to kill someone.
"You know why I'm not scared? Because she won't use neither the Hiruski (1) style nor her bloodline limit now that she's there… She's frightened by her own past, her own memories. That's why she is so vulnerable in this Country. I will torture her with all of those facts and she will become weak, easier to get rid of."
He laughed hysterically letting his grip loosed on the poor old man neck. The elder fell shaking on his knees massing his throat.
"Let Amaya fights her but tell her not to kill her. I want to do it by myself. Besides, My Lady needs a proper dead like her dear mother had."
"H-hai!"
"The Gushij clan will take revenge on Konoha… I think I will pay a visit to the Kazekage's office… He has something interesting. Don't do anything to be discovered. Oh and make sure the war with the Earth country stops. I don't want any of those fool ninjas interrupting my perfect plan. In a couple of days, my troops will breakdown in the city and kill every living thing until the King became reasonable..."
A smirk played on his lips.
"Until he gave us the lead of Konoha… Take care of My lady and of my niece! Oh and if you don't want to die you better don't say anything... Sweet dreams, old man!"
Picking himself up, he ran towards the Hyuuga castle. The man smirked standing alone in the middle of the forest. 'This will be easy…' Suddenly, he heard a soft noise in a brush. He sent a kunai towards it and a young man caught it midline surprising him. He smirked.
"How much did you have listened, kid?"
He played nervously with his hands not looking directly at the man.
"Nothing… I was just passing by… Now I will go! 'Night sire!"
It was a lie. He had heard all of it but he didn't want to get in trouble. This man was kind of creepy and powerful, a dangerous combination. He ran off but a firm hand caught his ankle. He stared widened eyes at the smirking man. How come someone had caught his speed? He was so fast that the merchants never knew that something had been stolen before they checked the receipts of the day and their stuck.
"It's not pretty nice to over drop others' conversation, kid, but since your speed amazed me I will spar your life and give you some money if you steal something for me…"
The teenager held his chin in a business way looking at the older man.
"You are talking about the thing in the Kazekage's office?"
"Yeah, kid, it's a map of Konoha. I will meet you at the gates of the city. You cut the travel of 3 days to 1 with your speed and you ran one day to return here. Do you think you can? Because the more I wait the less money you get. So? It is a deal or not?"
The teenager smirked and held up his hand to shake the man's one.
"Deal!"
He gave him a last smirk before running off towards Suna.
END OF FLASHBACK
Meanwhile with Temari and Kankuro
The 2 siblings were flying from branches to branches without reaching the thief even with their best speed. He was so fast. Temari frowned as she sensed the mysterious man running faster.
"All that for papers works…"
"Shut it, baka!"
He rolled his eyes only to notice an explosive tag on the trunk of a tree in the process. He opened his mouth to warn his sister but it blew up, destroying the environs.
About 50 kilometers away
He turned his head in the direction of the sudden increase. 'This must have stopped them' He turned around seeing already the borders of the Fire Country. His lips curved into a dreamy smile. He was going to become rich! That was certain! He had killed 2 men from the Sand, stole the map, wounded the Kazekage and finally made the trip from Konoha to Suna in one day and he was going to do the same for the return. He speeded away still with the same daydreaming expression not doubting a second that the man had fooled him… that he wasn't going to let alive a brat who saw a traitor from the Hyuuga's council and heard of his plans to take control of the city. No no… A Gushij never missed an occasion to torture anybody...
Area which exploded
A dense unbearable smoke was still surrounding the area where the explosive tag had exploded. After the violent loud sound the silence had planned on the area. The animals seemed to have disappeared replaced by an awkward silence. The wind blew away some smoke little by little, not enough powerful to blow it all at once.
Suddenly, a wooded puppet began to move obeying the instructions of its master. Kankuro kicked the surface of his puppet which was keeping him and his sister safe from the explosion. His giant marionette was practically unbreakable. In a form of a crocodile, its first and only function was defensive. He cursed the thief and the stupid explosive tag. Why was God against him? Temari had been knocked unconscious from the shock. How the hell was he supposed to run after a thief as fast as he could if his sister was in his arms? Kankuro picked his sister up bridal style and continued to run. He hadn't time to waste and despite the number of times he was smacked on the head per day she was still his sister and there was no way in Earth that he would abandon her. Moreover, the thief will be able to attack Konoha if he wasn't able to capture him now. He gritted his teeth getting tired of running with a considerable weight in his arms. Temari wasn't fat but God she wasn't as light as a feather.
In the morning in Konoha
A hand over her belly, Tenten was still sleeping. Her sleep was without any dream since she had taken a pill to sleep. If she hadn't taken it, she would have probably woken up in the middle of the night crying, screaming or simply panting heavily. Now, that she was back she couldn't have borne the pain at all. Even, when she was living in the Lighting country a bit after the massacre of her clan she had painful flashbacks making her sick for days. In order to stay sane she had started to take sleep pills. The window was wide open but no breeze entered the room. It was so damn hot outside, so she was sleeping only in underwear.
Neji wasn't the patient kind of man at all. In fact, he couldn't even wait for 5 minutes without breaking something or killing the damn person who was late. Without taking the time to knock like a gentleman would have done, he opened the door violently and closed it as loud as he could. Tenten didn't even wake up. She just moved closer the sheet from her sides burying her face in the pillows. Neji's brows went twitching. How the hell was he supposed to wake her up without hitting her? He would have been so easy to punch her in the face but Neji was only a gentleman on this point. He would never hit a woman even if she was annoying like hell.
"Tenten, wake up!"
Nothing. He tried to calm down inhaling and exhaling deeply but he couldn't. She was so peaceful. Damn was she mocking him?! He approached the bed and almost glued his mouth to her ear.
"TENTEN WAKE UP DAMNIT I DON'T HAVE ALL DAY!"
He was pinned to the wall by 5 kunais. He stared at them in shock. 'That was fast… Wait a second! Does she really sleep with kunais in her bed?!'
"Neji, nobody wake up before noon these days. Let me sleep…"
Now he was clearly annoyed. She hadn't the time to sleep. She had to be presence during his training since she would spar with him after and she was supposed to go in town with Lady Yamanaka. He took out roughly the kunais from the wall riving slightly his robs. In one big stride he was in front of her petite silhouette. He began to shake her shoulders her eyes snapped opened as the sheet which was covering her body fell from her torso. Her face became red crimson. Tenten grabbed the sheet back to her chest as fats as she could. 'Why is the night so hot in this moment of the year?' She was lucky that she was wearing at least a bra but damn he wasn't supposed to see that! Neji was smirking ear-to-ear even if he was trying to hide it. What? He was a man after all. Realizing how much he had visibly enjoyed the view she gritted her teeth becoming red of anger.
"Pervert!"
She slapped him and kicked him out of the room in a very unladylike way after having beaten the crap out of him. He rubbed his burning cheek trying not to think about the impossibility to have children anymore.
'ARGH! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT HE SAW MY BREATS!'
'Technically, dear, he saw your bra.'
'SAME FREAKING THING!'
'Touchy… But the good point here is that you can ask to see something from him in payback!'
'PERV!'
She strangled her inner self throwing her at the very back of her mind.
She grabbed her long black leather coat with her dark pants and her red shirt. Finally, she put her boots on still fuming. He had the nerve to enter her room without knocking, to scream in her ears, to shake her shoulders, to see a very good part of her breasts and finally to smirk about it. This man was so dead. She opened the door and blushed. Neji was stoic as ever but still, he was a man who saw her half naked. It was embarrassing and he was still so dead!
"I will train then spar with you and finally you will spend the rest of the day with Ino in town."
His voice was so monotone, so cold. The Weapons Mistress rolled her eyes wondering if he was a robot or something and crossed her arms over her chest. 'Spar with him? How interesting! He won't be able to move for weeks.' She smirked.
The King walked down the hallway towards the North gardens with Tenten behind him. Lee was doing his five hundred push-ups on his thumbs, Hinata was blushing madly with a grinning Naruto and Ino was yelling something the ears of the lazy ninja from the Nara clan. Neji sweat dropped mentally. He was a Hyuuga after all, he never or barely showed any emotion. But man, he would have liked to show Tenten how his men were good not to show her how much stupid they were. It was certainly another thing from the Hyuuga blood; pride. As he approached with a killer aura surrounding him, the noise of chatting quieted down.
"Hey, Neji! What's with the bad mood?" Naruto yelled at the top of his lungs.
"Stance combat, Naruto!"
Neji was not in a good mood and Naruto was a loudmouth. Sending him to the hospital will be a good way to make him shut up. Though, Naruto had been the only one to beat him. Lord Hiaishi had wanted him to fight Neji to see if he was good enough to marry his daughter. That day, the loudmouth had demonstrated how stubborn and determinate he was and that the true strength was to fight for someone.
Lord Uzumaki nodded happily. Hinata gave him a peck on the cheek. Neji glared at Naruto warily. Even if he had won his sister's hand Neji was still a protective brother. His brother-in-law laughed sheepishly.
Tenten sat down on the grass in an Indian position closing her eyes. Hinata watched worriedly the match against her husband and her brother. Ino was cheering loudly each time one of the 2 Lords was doing a good attack next to a sleepy Shikamaru. As for Lee, he was doing laps around Konoha like every morning.
Inhaling and exhaling deeply Tenten was trying desperately to relax. She needed to think about this situation. She was back to Konoha, she had been blackmailed, Neji was a jerk, a lot of people were after her and her past was slowly taking over her. She signed. All that was bad… very bad.
A shadow leaned on top of her. She blinked as she looked up. Tenten widened eyes and her mouth slightly opened.
"My Lady!?!"
(1): The Hiruski style is a style of combat that I invent for Tenten's clan. It's their kind of taijutsu in fact... You will find out later on what it is. I can't tell you anything yet because it will ruin everything but I didn't want to confuse you so just you know it's a style of combat...
See you and leave me a nice little review!
Thanks!
