Sasuke and Sakura had just landed an island. They went in from the docks, and they split up to try and find anything they could about the pirate "Buggy the Clown". They searched up and down the coast and then went in through town, asking people for information.
They met back at the boat, "Same as usual," said Sasuke, in an angry undertone, "nothing we haven't heard before. This guy's a serious pain. You'd think I'd have found him by now! I mean, He's a clown!" He was beginning to yell. Sakura was worried about him.
"Hey, Sasuke?" she said, almost inquiring.
"Yeah?" he replied angrily. He noticed that she doesn't flinch like she used to when he yelled, and calmed down instantly, "I mean, yes, Sakura?"
She smiled at his sudden change, "Sasuke, This guy we're after, I think I heard a clue as to where he is!" Sasuke was startled to hear this.
"Well, where is he?" he said with sudden excitement.
She was a little worried, but went on, "He is on the continent of Shadsomage,"
"You mean on the other side of Pirameses, all the way across the sea!?" He looked very surprised and upset, then he looked at her and smiled, a small smile, "well, now we know why we couldn't find him,"
Sakura smiled. She had never once in her life hear him joke like that. She actually started to laugh at how happy it made her feel. Then his smile dissapeared as he looked past her. "Is something wrong?" She asked as she turned around.
Sasuke grabbed her and pushed her towards the door to the cabin, "Listen, there's something evil coming this way, and I want you to go below deck. Listen to what is said if you want, just DO NOT come back on deck no matter what, understand?"
"What evil?" She asked as a picture of a snake-like face that she saw as evil flashed in her mind.
"It doesn't matter, OK? Just get down there now!" He pushed her again and she decided to go.
She closed the door behind her as another boat came into view. She wondered who it was...
She was remembering Orochimaru, the snake like man that wanted Sasuke to join him, the man that doesn't die of age because he constantly takes on new bodies...
She remembered when he had finally been convinced on going on a date, she had tricked him into thinking it was a mission. She had felt bad at first, but it was worth it in the end. Mostly because she could convince him into staying once Orochimaru had sent his men after him to convince him to go.
The four best of Orochimaru, they attacked Sasuke, and Sasuke almost left, but Sakura had run across him first, on his way out to find them and let them lead the way to the sound village. She had cried and begged him to stay, and she knows now that if they had not already been going out, he would've left her there...
The other boat was close now, and it was going to hail them, she could tell. Sakura was looking through a small hole, begging whoever this was not to be Orochimaru. She didn't know that things were even worse than that, though.
On the other ship...
"Who is that?" asked a demon with two heads, the other answered by biting at him. Another demon said, "probably lunch, it is about that time!" he laughed at his own joke, a few others joining in as well.
"Don't worry about them," Said another demon, this one looking like a white baboon. Everyone hushed up to let him talk. "If they are just nobody, then I will let you eat them. If they are the ones we're looking for, though, then I must talk first," He said calmly. They all cheered, they knew their boss would let them eat weary travelers that aren't wroth anything.
They came close enough to hail the other ship...
Sasuke looked on with anticipation as they neared. The ship was much too close simply to hail, but then:
"Hail, good sir! I wish to speak to your captain,"
Sasuke was appalled. Was that a monkey that spoke? he thought. Still, you never know with demons, and he saw that's what they were. "You speak to him," he replied.
"Such a child, leading a ship? Surely you jest?" The monkey said. Though in his mind, he realized that this was one of the ones he looked for.
"I'm no child, and I never joke," he replied with a calm he did not feel. His mind flashed for just a second at the joke he had said to Sakura, but only a second.
"Ah, then," their boats were close enough now that Sasuke could reach out and touch the monkey, "then I believe you are one that we wish to see," there was a sudden feeling of pure evil in the air, almost palpable, "If so, then I wish to talk,"
"Keep talking, then. I won't stop you," Sasuke was scared, and excited. He had never directly faced a demon, but he has always wanted to. 'This could end up being interesting' He thought.
"Ah, just the attitude I need. You seem suddenly confused, let me explain. You see, I need someone to go after a sword. Not just any sword, mind you, but a sword with unimaginable power. I seem to have perked your interest, no? Then I suggest you listento what I have to say,"
"I said I won't stop you," He was wondering what this monkey demon thing could be talking about, seeing as how no sword could be invincible, could it?
"Good, then let me make you a deal. I know how to find this sword, and if you find it, you can keep it, on the deal that you kill a certain someone for me. Now, before you decline, think of what you could do with a sword of infinite power, a weapon so strong, no man could stand in your way. This sword is all that and more," He ended with an evil smile on his face. But the smile was not a monkey's smile. No, Sasuke realized then that some one was wearing a mask, disguised as a monkey, but still demon. though the smile appeared to be human-like, he had heard that the demons of Shadsomage appeared as human on occasion.
"OK, then. Who?" Sasuke asked.
"Three people, actually. I just wanted to see if you comply?" He asked.
Sasuke thought a moment, during which Sakura wondered if he would except, just to kill Itachi. Seeing as that was still his goal. Then Sasuke answered, "Yes," Sakura gasped silently. He had that look in his eyes. The look of when he thought of Itachi.
"Good," Naraku smiled again, "Then you will kill a half-demon named Inu-Yasha, a man named Hikaru Asenbo, and a man you know, a man named," he gave a moment for effect, "Itachi,"
Sasuke looked the demon surprised. Sakura gasped and began to wonder what he wanted Itachi dead for. Naraku began to laugh at the effect this had on Sasuke.
Sasuke said simply, "Why would you want them dead?"
"Old habits, and strong grudges," He replied simply. He gave Sasuke a paper, and said,"I know that you will do as you have been told, and so, I give you these directions," The boat began to move the second Sasuke grabbed the paper.
Sasuke said nothing. He indeed would kill these people with the sword. If this was all true.
