a/n: I felt the need to write this and get it out there. ._. Regarding the rape scene in the last chapter, I made it that bad to show you that what she was going through was going to be..horrible. One of the reviews said I made him feel sick, which i'm kind of happy about cuz it means I was able to make you feel something, that my words were able to convey emotions.
'Err!..This is all my fault!' Katsuo thought as he dashed to the orphanage. He couldn't believe the day he always feared had become reality. All those nights of watching over her had gone to waste now, all because he didn't check on her when he had the chance. He could have saved her! Why didn't he check? Oh right. He knew why. Nothing had ever changed in the orphanage, which caused him to feel nothing was ever going to happen to the girl, but now the universe had proved him wrong by severely punishing him for his ignorance. 'I should of expected the unexpected..I'm a ninja after all' he couldn't help berating himself, he deserved it. He had known the girl had something in her that could turn the tables on their enemies, but he let her be treated as another orphan when she wasn't. He put her life and many other lifes in danger, by letting her live a normal lifestyle. If that wasn't bad enough, he had a chance to secure safety for Konoha and potentially the Shinobi world!
He truly was stupidity and ignorance at its finest.
But even if he was absent-minded something didn't add up.
Out of all the kids to kidnap from the orphanage the kidnapper chose her.
Why?
If this was a simple kidnap then they should have taken the nearest child.
According to the report the kidnapper had went to the employees section.
Why would he go so far?
Something wasn't right..Katsuo could feel it in his gut.
"Katsuo," Katsuo turned around to see Miyuki's concerned face. Miyuki had seen how serious and angry he was when they told of the news. She was a bit surprised when she found out herself,so she did expect him to be upset, what kind of person kidnaps an orphan and kills an employee? It was sickening, anyone in their right mind would say so, but she was taken back the amount of killer intent when Katsuo found out. It made her question if the employer was Katsuo's secret lover or something, she knew it was horrible to think like that when something serious was going on but she couldn't help it. She loved him.
"Are you okay? I understand w-what happened w-was h-horrible, b-but w-we a-are ninja," Miyuki had to stop and think about how she was going to say the next part without sounding insensitive or cruel. She was becoming worried and nervous which caused her to sweat and stutter. 'Ugh! Just say it already! He's the most emotionless one of us all! He'll understand what I'm trying to say!'
Before Miyuki could finish Katsuo spoke,
"I know I'm a ninja and ninjas aren't suppose to let their emotions drive them. But let me ask you something Miyuki," Katsuo closed the distance between them causing Miyuki to blush furiously. "What if one slip up, one minor mistake, lead to the destruction of everything and everyone, how would feel?" Katsuo's eyes were boring into Miyuki's, as if he was peering into her soul. Miyuki felt her face heating up, she was slowly slipping into Katsuo's alluring trance. But something stopped her from completely going in.
His gaze was too strong she had to break away, "I d-don't know..but Katsuo this is a kidnapping! How does that have to do with you? Or the destruction of the world?"
Katsuo broke his gaze, but then glanced at her before walking away, "..Excuse me. I must finish my search" he mumbled, but Miyuki still caught it.
"Katsuo! What's going on?" 'What are you hiding?! What did you do?'
But Katsuo didn't respond he just kept walking and looking over things, trying to find a clue that could lead to the girl's location When Miyuki was out of hearing range Katsuo quietly whispered to himself,
"Kami..have mercy on us"
"Oh Kami! Daisuke-sama!" Avaron yelled as she rushed over to the unconscious girl. She had stayed in the corner like a sitting duck while Daisuke brutally raped her. She wanted to scream at him to stop, but she couldn't find her voice. She didn't have the will or courage to speak out, as usual. She just sat there and watched in horror as the evil took place right in front of her. 'I'm so weak...I'm sorry Chīsana petto' Avaron kneeled down to the girl carefully lifted up her head and put her on her lap. She might not be the best person in the world, but she knew that what had just happened was sick and inhumane, even for Daisuke.
"Why?! Why did you have to be so rough?" Avaron shouted at the man who seemed to very pleased with his work. He sucked his teeth at his partner, he didn't have time for her and her complaints.
"Whatever, just patch her up and get going. We need to hurry up and take her to Danzo-sama before he gets all mad and shit" Daisuke said to the girl as left the room, leaving the two of them alone.
Avaron looked down at the girl and almost threw up at the sight. She looked horrible. Her face bloody, black eyes, her skin black and blue with bruises.'Oh Kami..why?' She knew that they could be a little rough sometimes, but this, this was just disgusting and sickening. It made it worse knowing that she couldn't do anything to help the girl. She only knew the basic medical jutsu, just enough to heal minor wounds. But the girl had many broken bones and very serious wounds, that she couldn't do anything about. 'Danzo-sama is going to have my head for this..'
Avaron sighed. Danzo-sama was definitely going to kill her. Daisuke-sama was more of a master to her than a partner so when something usually goes wrong on a mission she would take the blame for it since Daisuke was too afraid of Danzo to stand up to him. 'But he isn't afraid to beat and rape a innocent girl!' On top of that Danzo seemed to be in a more worse mood than usual and Avaron always seemed to walking on thin ice with him. One mistake and she would surely be dead.
'You've done it now Daisuke! We are so dead!'
Avaron was too lost in her thoughts to feel Harumi move, but she did notice when she started coughing.
"...Oww! cough cough..I-It h-hurts so bad! W-why? M-Mieko-chan..oww" Harumi whimpered. Avaron looked and saw the girl stirring and crying in her lap. Did she think she was this Mieko-chan? For some reason this seemed to break Avaron's heart even more. She usually just let thinks happen and stay in the dark, as usual. She knew she was a horrible person and there was no changing that, but she never witnessed this before, she couldn't handle it! It was too much not to look at the girl and wonder if it was you or someone you loved. Avaron shook her head of her previous thoughts, what would Danzo-sama think if he saw her acting like this? 'Ugh..I'm getting soft'
The dark side of Avaron seemed to return as she didn't answer the girl. She became more concerned for herself and started worrying about herself rather than the health of the girl in her arms. "P-please Mieko-chan..cough cough..it h-hurts s-so bad!" Harumi cried, she grabbed Avaron's wrist and held on for dear life, that seemed to give her comfort from the person she thought was Mieko.
"Shh..Let me heal you" Avaron said calmly. On the outside she tried to handle the situation the best she could, but on the inside she was a bundle of emotions ready to explode. As she said that Harumi seemed to give her what looked like a smile, "You're t-the b-best Mieko-chan..cough cough..a-always t-there f-f-for me..I-I'm s-sorry.."
That seemed to pique Avaron's curiosity as she now wanted to know what the girl was sorry for. This also made Avaron mad, because she was becoming soft and now she was actually starting to care.
"Sorry for what?" Avaron asked, hoping the girl had enough strength to answer.
"..cough cough..for not keeping m-my...ugh..p-promise..I-I failed y-you..ouch..ugh" Harumi answered slowly and painfully. Avaron listened as she gently put Harumi on the floor and began channeling chakra into her hands, which came off as a blue-ish color. She placed her hands on Harumi's wounds and began to heal as best she could.
"What promise?" Avaron asked. 'Why do I care, it's not going to change anything, but still..'
"Y-you t-told..m-me..n-not t-to let a-anyone d-down there r-remember? B-but he d-did...I-I f-feel s-so d-dirty..I'm s-sorry you h-had t-to know a dirty p-p-person l-like me"
Avaron had nothing left to say to Harumi, practically due to the fact that she couldn't think of anything to say and the other reason was she felt so bad for the girl. She had never pitied a victim of Danzo, but for some reason this girl just came and broke her heart. It was like everything that happened to the girl had happened to her. All the pain the girl held was now stabbing her at the heart. 'Is this guilt?..I hate it!' Avaron tried to close her eyes so she couldn't look at the girl to try and make the feeling go away, but she was unsuccessful. 'Ugh! I didn't do anything to her! I'm fucking healing her..so I'm fine, right?'
She knew she wasn't fine. She knew she was going to burn in hell with Danzo.
'I don't care. I'm better off doing this than being a fucking whore.' She closed her eyes and let the guilt flow out as she concentrated on healing the girl and getting her ready to meet her unholy fate. Avaron was able to heal some of the bruises on Harumi and get her eyes to look less..black. Avaron attempted to heal some of her bones, but that only brought more pain to the girl and Avaron decided it was useless. She was also able to bring Harumi back to reality and get her to stop mistaking her for Mieko.
She was now putting makeup on Harumi to try and cover up her bruises and scars. She prayed that Danzo didn't ask any questions about the treatment Harumi received prior to the meeting. It would make her life so much easier if he didn't. Avaron finished with the makeup and began putting Harumi in more presentable clothes. She combed through the tangles of her hair and wiped off any dry blood she missed.
"There. You're all done" Avaron said smiling at her work. Harumi still looked terrible, but much better than before. Her arm was still lifeless and limp and she looked like she had died, but that was expected of Danzo's victims. Harumi just gave Avaron an unreadable look, it was full of hate yet gratefulness. As if she was actually happy with what Avaron did. Avaron just shrugged it off, she could care less of what the girl thought of her, she was just here to do her job. With her usual perkiness she gave Harumi a small smile.
"Good luck my Chīsana petto"
Danzo was never a patient man.
That's why when Daisuke came and told that the girl would be a few more minutes he almost threw his walking stick at him. He had specifically told him that the girl should be ready by the time he got back from the council meeting and that there should be no delay.
He had waited for a good ten minutes now.
Danzo was at the end of his rope, if the girl didn't show up soon then someone was going to die. Now Danzo usually isn't this on edge, but something very important happened at the council meeting that made him look both ways.
-Flashback-
The council meeting had gone off like it usually did, talking about the recent events in the village and alliances with the other Great Shinobi Nations. Near the end of the meeting the Hokage had brought up a topic that made Danzo's blood run cold.
"There have been disappearances in the village"
"What? Whose disappearing?" a civilian council member asked in worry.
"Mostly children. Civilians mainly." Hiruzen told them. Danzo tensed, not visibly though, he remained impassive as ever.
The council members were silent as they listened to the information Hiruzen gave them. Danzo could only boil in rage inside at thought of his recruiters getting sloppy and leaving any evidence behind. 'Fucking idiots..'
"There isn't that many disappearing but it's enough to get my attention" Hiruzen said drawing Danzo out of his thoughts.
"How many?" someone asked.
"Three"
There was momentary silence 'till..
"Three?!" a council member cackled, most people started laughing as they thought it was a joke. It wasn't that they didn't care for their fellow villagers, it's just that this was a ninja village and there were always going to be problems. Just because three people went missing didn't mean it was the next catastrophic tragedy.
Danzo looked around and saw many civilian council members laughing, none of them really knowing how dangerous a number like three could be. He could also see Hiruzen fuming from the lack of respect in the council room. Danzo thought this was a good opportunity to clear any suspicions that might surround him. If the Hokage thought he was on his side, then it would be easier to avoid accusations and persecution. But it was always a two-way street, if he got the council members to shut up and take it seriously then he might be discovered, but if he stayed quiet then Hiruzen would look at everyone with suspicion, namely him. He chose the latter.
"This is not a joke. You all don't know how dangerous this could be! You all don't live a ninja lifestyle so you will never know the constant danger this village is in! To you, oh it's just three people, but to us it's a comrade, a friend. Meaning this discussion and topic should be handled with much more respect!" Danzo's voice boomed with authority and commanded respect with every word spoken. Hiruzen looked a Danzo with a suspicion, but gave the old war hawk a nod of appreciation as he went on with his reports. Danzo seethed in seat, one of his recruiters was going to suffer today.
He would make sure of it.
-End of Flashback-
Danzo gripped his walking stick tighter at the thought of being discovered. He had worked too hard to be discovered. Everything he did was the good of Konoha, and to him the end justifies the means. So if a few lifes needed to be sacrificed for the greater good, then so be it. Danzo tried to clear his thoughts and calm down, but he couldn't. He could only feel his anger rising at thought of one of his recruiters making a mistake and getting them caught. Danzo clenched his teeth as he only seemed to get angrier with each passing moment. Finally after 20 minutes Avaron and Daisuke showed up with the girl.
Danzo eyes widened a bit at the sight of the girl. She was wearing a baggy shirt and loose-fitting trousers, her hair was neatly combed and her skin looked sickly, with faint bruises. Her eyes were downcast and it seemed like all the life was sucked out of her. Her arms laid limp, one more limp than the other, at her side as she stood beside Avaron and Daisuke. To say the girl looked like hell was an understatement.
She looked worse than hell.
That did it.
That push Danzo over the edge.
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO HER?!" Danzo yelled at his two servants. His voice was filled with unbreakable anger which caused Daisuke to flinch and Avaron to cringe. Harumi just looked at Danzo with lifeless eyes, everything hurt too much to show emotion. Daisuke and Avaron quickly got on their knees and bowed, dragging Harumi with them, which caused her to hiss pain. Danzo was seething now. He had specifically asked for the girl to be taken and looked over for anything unusual and then to be brought to him for a meeting. Not once did he tell them to touch her, in fact it was quite the opposite. He told them not to hurt her just in case she wasn't what he thought she was! But now it was too late. The damage was done. If this girl wasn't the key to his plans then all three of them were going to die, and Danzo was going to make it real clear this time.
"D-Danzo-dono, please understand D-Daisuke was just having fun" Avaron stammered. Danzo eyebrows furrowed in frustration and anger. Daisuke shot her a glare for ratting him out. Avaron just smiled smugly. 'If I'm going down I'm taking you with me you asshole'
"What do you mean fun?" Danzo whispered, his voice dangerously low.
"Ask Daisuke-sama" Avaron said innocently. Danzo's eyebrows raised at that. It was usually Avaron that messed up, but now it seemed that roles had switched and Daisuke was the pain in the ass now.
"Daisuke?" Danzo said wanted to hear it from him
"I-I..I was just putting the girl in her place Danzo-sama" Daisuke said with a scared look on his face. He was mentally kicking himself for looking so weak, but he couldn't help it. Danzo scared the shit out of him.
"I should you put you in your place you fool!" Danzo shouted causing Avaron to flinch, but smile when she realized the words weren't direct at her. 'What goes around comes around..karma's a bitch ain't Daisuke?'
"I apologize Danzo-sama"
"I don't want your apologizes fool! What did you do to the girl?"
Daisuke looked at the girl and then to Danzo. He was literally shaking with fear at the thought of angering Danzo anymore. Danzo was growing impatient, he needed to answer now. "I..I-I..I raped her and broke her arm Danzo-sama please forgive me"
He broke her arm. He broke her arm. Those words kept playing into his mind. He broke her arm. Danzo wanted to be killed on the spot. How could that incompetent baboon do something so stupid, idiotic and rash?! Say she wasn't who she thought they were then what would they do with her? He couldn't send her out like this then people would know something was up, but worse say she was who they thought she was then how could she perform jutsus? It could take months maybe years for her arm to start working properly again and Danzo was not going to wait that long. 'I kill you Daisuke'
"You idiot. I should have your head for this" Danzo snarled at the frightened man
"I apologiz-" before he could finish Danzo yelled at him to shut up. He didn't want to hear his useless apologizes. Danzo needed to think quick. This girl was now rendered useless to him thanks to Daisuke and now she couldn't send he back without raising suspicion and there was no point in testing her if she wasn't going to be of any use for awhile, he had no use for handicaps. Great now what was he going to do? 'Dammit! Where I'm going to get another weapon from?!..wait a minute..maybe I need a demon more than a weapon..'
The wheels in Danzo's sick mind started turning as he came up with a new and approved plan. He smiled wickedly as he pictured it in his mind. This one was perfect. With this one there was no throwing caution to the wind and praying for the best. With this plan he was certain everything would work out. All he needed to do was get this girl out of his hair and capture a certain demon. Which wouldn't be as heard as you would think.
"Take her from my sight and send her to the Red Light District under Gorou. After this be ready to receive punishment for your incompetence. Dismissed" Danzo said waving his hands at his servants sending them away. They picked themselves off the floor and bowed their heads and left Danzo to his scheming.
Danzo gave the plan one more thought and nodded It was perfect. He could send the girl to Red Light District and break her mind and body like he intended to then keep her there as a fall back as he went after the main prize.
The nine-tailed fox.
Two days later
Naruto laid on his couch head staring up at the ceiling as he thought about the answer he was suppose to give the man tonight. The past two days he had been thinking about the offer non-stop. He would usually list the pros and cons and the pros always out weighed the cons, but today he didn't feel like looking at the results. He hated seeing that he had more to gain in leaving the village then staying in it. This was his home, he wanted to be proud of it and able to learn from it, not run. It made him wonder why he even called Konoha his home if he had more to gain from leaving it.
'Maybe Konoha isn't my home..maybe I belong somewhere else and I'm just staying here..'
Naruto shook the crazy thought from his head, if one of the 5 Great Shinobi Nations didn't want him then why would the others? It made his heart hurt thinking about how unwanted and unloved he was. Sometimes he wished he could just die to make the pain stop and then other times he wished for someone to come and proclaim their love for him. But Naruto knew that was wishful thinking, no one loved him. Not even the old man. He made it very clear by not visiting after the incident, which made Naruto hate himself even more for driving someone who could come to care for him away.
"Ugh. Maybe I should go." Naruto thought out loud. What was keeping him here anyways? Just because it was home, didn't mean he had to stay here forever. He could venture out and learn what they would never teach him and if the man wasn't what he said to be then so be it. He would die and finally rid the world of a burden, a curse, a monster,
Of him.
He closed his eyes and let a few tears trickle down his cheeks. He wiped his eyes and forced himself to stop crying and look on the bright side, he would be learning a bunch of new jutsus and be that much closer to becoming Hokage. At the thought of being Hokage, Naruto gave a small smile.
"I guess I've got my answer"
"You fucking bitch!"
"Don't call me that! You rat me out all the time! It's time I evened the score!"
"It's not my fault you're a weak little whore whose family didn't give a shit about her"
"Take that back you asshole!"
"Make me you damn bitch!"
Harumi walked behind them a bit as she listened to them argue. After Danzo dismissed them Avaron put her arm in a blue sling and told they were going on a trip. Harumi didn't argue as they dragged her out to the middle of nowhere and told her to walk. They had walked for two days straight and had only stopped for essentials. She knew they were going to the Red Light District, whatever that was and wouldn't stop 'till they got there. Harumi hadn't put up a fight the whole way there and didn't try to escape once, she knew there wasn't a point. She had no idea where she was and couldn't run away if she wanted to. And if she did there would be no one to help her, no one would notice she was gone. No one to look for her, so what was the point if she was just going to run back into a life full of pain.
A life she has always known.
Harumi looked down as she let a few tears knowing her life was just going to be full of pain, a pain she could never escape. 'Won't someone..anyone come and save me?' She was too weak to help herself and no one cared for the lowly orphan. So there was no one who would ever save her, there was no hope. There, however was one person who would ever care for her. But she was ripped away from her right in front of her eyes, leaving her scarred for life. Leaving a hole in her heart the would never close. Her heart would always be broken.
"Hey we are here!" Daisuke voice called out to Harumi. Harumi looked up to see a large building and secluded area from the village they were. The building was fairly big and there seemed to be a lot people there. Harumi saw a couple of women in very revealing clothing walk around. There was also a bunch of a men hanging around staring hungrily at the women that would walk around with bad makeup applied to their face and their next nothing attire. The aroma of cheap perfume and alcohol attacked her senses as she inched closer with Daisuke and Avaron in front of her. Even though she hated both them she clung to Avaron in fear as the walked to the building. As they got closer they could smell smoke and hear hollering and shouting as music blasted in the background.
Everything seemed to become darker as they walked into the building. As soon as they did Harumi wanted to turn and run back to her other tortured life. Women were walking around naked or in their underwear and the music was way too loud. Men were staring at the women as if they were a piece of meat and they seemed to be doing the same to Harumi. They tried to grab her but Daisuke would send them a warning glare, telling them that she was off limits and they would reluctantly listen.
Harumi clung onto Avaron tighter who didn't seem to mind. Then everything went red. And she could hear a woman speak in a seductive, lust-filled voice. "Welcome to the Red Light District. The night sky is out. It's time to get down and dirty. Be rough and have fun" Harumi didn't like the sound of that, but the people in the building did as there seemed to be more men and women than before. It got crowded and Harumi forced her self to keep holding on to Avaron. She closed her eyes as she followed Avaron's trail. She could feel many passing men caress her skin or grope her in inappropriate places. Harumi wanted to cry, she wanted to cry so bad. But she couldn't, she wouldn't.
After awhile they seemed to have stopped walking and were now in a place that had no loud music or naked woman walking around. 'Where are we..are we finally out?' Harumi prayed they had let the place, she never wanted to go there again. It was just too much, too overwhelming. Harumi opened her eyes and saw they were in an office. There were a few men standing around the perimeter of the room in a guard stance. Harumi peeked behind Avaron to see a scrawny man with a crooked smiling on his face. He had very dark skin and his face was adorned with many scars. His green eyes were staring directly at her, which made her hide behind Avaron once more. His black hair was gelled back and had a cigar in his mouth and was dressed in a fine black suit.
'Wow. He's rich!' Harumi shamelessly thought as she hid.
"Ava-chan!" the man said in a scratchy voice, Harumi already knew she wouldn't like this man. "Long time no see. Ya finally coming back? This place been kind of dull without ya babe."
Avaron gave him a playful smirk, "Ha. You wish. No, that's not the case. I got some fresh meat for ya"
The man's eyebrows shot up in interest. "Oh really? Well let me see her"
Avaron grabbed Harumi from behind her and threw in front of the man. Harumi stumbled a bit and almost fell flat on her face, much to the amusement of the man.
"Shes cute, I'll give ya that" the man chuckled. Harumi felt her cheeks burn as everyone seemed to look at her now. The man seemed to sense her discomfort and saved as he began to speak, "But ya know I don't do cute. Sorry no thanks now scurry off"
Daisuke rolled his eyes at the man, then spoke, "Gorou-san this a personal request from Danzo-sama"
"That old geezer?! I don't give a fuck! Now go!" Gorou shouted at him. He was about to call his guards to kick them out, but then Avaron stepped in.
"He thought this might happened so he's offered a deal"
Gorou seemed interested in what Avaron was talking about and wanted to know more. Hopefully it would involve his favorite thing besides sex. "What kinda deal?"
"He will give a two thousand ryo a month if you take this girl" Avaron knew the man only cared for two things, sex and money. He was horny greedy bastard, the kind women couldn't seem to get enough of.
"Hmm..seems a little cheap to me." Gorou said with mock frown.
"I'll ask if he can add more, but don't count on it" Avaron said with a grin at his disappointment.
"Hmm okay what are the terms?"
"You keep her for about four years"
"Four fucking years?!" Gorou shouted in mild shock. What the hell was he going to do with a kid for four years?
"Yes. But there is an upside to it. The amount of money you will get from this deal will increase with each year" Avaron knew she struck home at the sound of more money.
Gorou seemed to calm down a bit as he asked, "How much a year?"
"About two thousand ryo." Daisuke answered.
"Hmm..that's tempting. I can do what I want with her right?" Gorou asked, his voice had a little anticipation in it.
Avaron shrugged her shoulders and answered "Yes. Danzo-sama doesn't care. She just wants her alive. Do whatever your heart desires" At the last part Avaron shot the man a wicked smile, who returned it ten-fold scaring the living daylights out of Harumi. 'Evil..' Harumi thought as she looked away.
The man shot up from his seat and walked up to Avaron with a twisted grin on his face. "Alright! I like the way you talk Ava-chan! You know I only accepted this offer cause you were the one to deliver it, sweetheart" He began to caress cheek as the smell of smoke and alcohol hit Avaron, who seemed to enjoy it.
"Well aren't you a smooth talker?" Avaron teased.
"Haha, that I am, that I am. Now let's get this girl so we can start seeing the cash flow in!" Gorou said chuckling.
'I can't believe it.. I kinda miss this place..well it's in the past now time to head out into the future' Avaron as she looked at Gorou and the office. It brought back memories of her time to the Red Light District. But now wasn't the time for memories, her and Daisuke had to return to Danzo as quick as possible.
Avaron gave a slight bow to Gorou and turned around as she began to exit, Daisuke following her lead. "Thank you Gorou-san, we will be on our way now."
"Remember four years!" Gorou called out to her as he went over to Harumi.
"Of course goodbye" With that Avaron and Daisuke left the poor girl in the hands of the slimy, dirty, greedy Gorou. Gorou turned around and looked Harumi hungrily. "I'm not really into kids..I like my woman more developed. But maybe you'll be different."
"N-no..Avaron-san please come back! Don't go!" screamed as she ran to the door
"Hey you little slut don't go running from me..you don't know whats out there" Gorou said following her. This girl was going to be a handful if she didn't get disciplined soon.
"I'd rather be there than here!" Harumi fired back
"Really now?" Gorou was taken back by her boldness, 'So she thinks she's tough?..Ha lets see how miss tough lasts out there.'
"Yes! I just wanna leave!" Harumi shouted.
"Fine go..but you'll be back. Don't worry I'll be more gentle" Gorou said opening the door for her.
Harumi didn't need to be told twice as she ran out of the office without thinking. As soon as she did that she was it with the smell of sex, smoke and alcohol. The club was a bold red color as women and men seemed to touching and groping each other publicly. The music was still blaring and everything seemed to be moving way too fast. Harumi couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. This was too much, too much for her to handle. Without thinking once more she turned left and ran, hoping to find an exit. She held her broken arm so it wouldn't get hit by anything. She ran as fast as she could and dodged many women and men who seemed to be after her. One man was almost successful in snatching her, but she proved to be too quick for him as she increased her speed at the last second.
'Maybe..maybe I can be my own hero' Harumi thought as the amount of people seemed to diminish as she ran farther. She kept running the thought of escaping this place fueling her. Adrenaline coursing through her veins and new found hope kept her running, until she bumped into something soft but a bit hard.
"Hey! What was that?" a woman said with a very weird accent. Her words came out very thick and rolled off her tongue smoothly, the way she spoke was strange but alluring and beautiful in a way. Harumi had been running fast and took most of the impact, causing her to fall on her unbroken arm much to her relief.
"A kid? Whats a kid doin' here?" the woman asked as she kneeled down to Harumi's level. Harumi didn't have time hide so she knew she was going to be discovered and harmed in a way, she braced herself for the worst.
'Oh no..I thought I could do it..I thought I could escape..ugh I'm so weak' Harumi thought in shame as she waited for the woman to hurt her.
"Hey kid? You okay? Kid!" the woman said while giving her a quick shake. Harumi was confused, wasn't the woman going to hit her or something? Why was she asking if she was okay? Was this a trick? Maybe she was like Daisuke and Avaron, strike when she was least expecting it. Harumi shivered at thought of Daisuke. Ever since Daisuke kidnapped and raped she had a horrible view of almost every adult, save Mieko.
"I-I'm fine." Harumi answered quietly. The woman looked at her once more before helping her get up. Harumi was shocked by her kindness. Why was she helping her?
"That's good to hear. Now what are you doin' here?" the woman said with a small smile. Harumi didn't want to meet her eyes, so she kept her head down, but she did speak to the woman.
"I-I..where am I?" Harumi mumbled loud enough for the woman to hear.
'Why is she like this?' the woman thought as she looked Harumi. She was so scared but guarded. Did she think she was going hurt her or something? Maybe she was shy. "Good question, but answer mine first."
Harumi was silent for a moment, as she thought of what to say. She didn't trust this woman and didn't want to make her suspicious or anything so she had to be careful when speaking. "I wanted to leave."
The woman only nodded her head as she spoke, "Understandable for a kid your age. You're too young to be here. And as for your question, you're in the employee's only section hon'"
Harumi looked up in shocked. That's why it was so vacant here! Only employees were allowed here, that meant she was never close to the exit. She ran for nothing. She should have known not to give herself false hope, she would always be too weak to help herself. She couldn't stop some tears from sliding down her, but luckily the woman didn't catch them. As she cried something dawned on her. If this was the employee's section then that meant.. "Employee's section? You work here?"
The woman threw her head back and laughed, "Isn't obvious?"
Harumi never really got a good look at the woman she was talking to and now that she had mentioned it, it was obvious she worked here. The woman was dressed in high blue pumps and high black waisted shorts, with no shirt on only her black laced bra covering her well endowed chest. Harumi looked away with a small blush on her cheeks. She was a bit embarrassed to see the woman so poorly dressed, but that didn't seem to bother the woman.
"Y-yes..but I was looking for an exit..where is the exit?" Harumi said changing the subject.
The woman was about to point her in the right direction, but something told her to find more about the girl before making any decisions "Hmm, who are you with?"
"What?" Harumi didn't expect her to care about that, she didn't expect her to even ask that.
"I mean you brought you here?" the woman clarified.
"T-they left. They l-left me with a m-man"
"Do you know the man's name?"
Harumi sighed she was so close to getting out of here, but of course she had to ask that.
"Yes, Gorou. B-but what does that have to do with an exit? Please, just tell me where the exit is." Harumi said quickly, hoping she would tell her and forgot who was in charge of her.
The woman looked horrified for a moment before she answered the hopeful girl in front of her. "I-I can't do that. Sorry. I will lead you back to Go-"
"No!" Harumi had surprised herself at shouting at the woman, but she wouldn't, couldn't go back there. "I don't want to go there! I left for a reason! Now please, where is the exit?"
The woman sighed and kneeled down to Harumi once more till they were eye to eye. "Listen kid Gorou is the boss here and I'm not trying to get fired. I'm sorry."
"O-of course!" Harumi whispered in anger. She was so sick of no one wanting to help her. As she traveled here many people saw and knew something wasn't right, but they didn't help. Why? Because they were too scared of what could have happened to them. Cowards! Was everyone here a coward?!
"But I'll let you stay with me 'till Gorou comes lookin' for you" the woman's voice brought Harumi out of her inner rant as she looked at the woman with pure shock, happiness and suspicion. The woman looked saddened by Harumi's reaction, but she hid it very well as she waited for her to answer.
"You w-will? W-will I be safe?" Harumi said, her mouth was agape and her eyes widen. She still couldn't believe the woman wanted to help her. She looked afraid to do anything for minute, but now she wanted to help even if wasn't much. Harumi was happy and grateful, but she couldn't help feel worried and suspicious. She wanted to see if the woman wanted to do something bad to her, she had to know if she would be safe.
"Yes you will with me watching you. C'mon kid..what's your name?" the woman said, grabbing Harumi's hand. Harumi was shocked by the gesture, but felt a weird warmth when she did it. She decided to let it be. Harumi tried her hardest to think of an answer but the only name she could think of was Mieko and she knew that didn't belong to her. Avaron and Daisuke just called her girl and Gorou did the same, so she had no way of knowing her name.
"...I-I can't remember..all I remember is a woman named Mieko and an orphanage." Harumi said looking down, she felt a bit stupid for not knowing her own name, but she couldn't help it. Every time she tried to think of it, it only came up blank in her memories.
"Hmm. Well that's not good. I'll give you a nickname 'kay?"
Harumi wasn't 100% abroad on the idea, but she couldn't think of anything else, so she let the woman have her way. "Okay."
The woman stopped walking and thought for a moment, she then smiled and looked down at Harumi with a happy expression
"How about Kasumi?"
Harumi thought for moment then nodded, she liked the name Kasumi. It meant mist, even though she never seen mist before she thought it had a nice ring to it."O-okay..what's your name?"
"Katsumi! But just call me Kat!" the woman said with a big grin.
Harumi couldn't keep herself for giving a small smile back, Katsumi's smile was contagious. "Alright Kat-san"
Harumi held to the woman's hand as she lead them to a closed off section in the building. Harumi couldn't help but give the woman another small smile, which she returned happily.
Maybe, just maybe things were going to get better.
Meanwhile In Konoha...
It was nighttime now in Konoha and everyone had gone home to rest for the next day. Everyone but one loud, annoying blond. Uzumaki Naruto. Naruto was once again sitting on the Hokage Monument watching over all Konoha with the past Hokages. He couldn't help but feel a sense of belonging on the monument. It felt like he was supposed to be here, with all the Hokages watching Konoha, keeping her safe.
'I'm going to be Hokage for sure! Dattebayo!' Naruto thought happily. Naruto couldn't stop himself from picturing himself in the Hokage office wearing the Hokage robes, having people bowing to him and cheering him on for the first time. People proclaiming him the strongest ninja ever and calling him the greatest Hokage ever. 'What a dream! I'm going to make it a reality!' Naruto was too engrossed in his thoughts to hear a rustling behind him, only when he heard a voice call out to him was he able to break away from his thoughts.
"Naruto. It's good to see you again"
Naruto turned around to see the man from two days ago. He was wearing the same cloak, and his face was once again covered from Naruto's eyes. He didn't have the cigarette though.
"Hey! Er..I don't know your name.."
"Well depending on what answer you give me you'll be calling me sensei!" the man said with a cheerful tone.
"Yup! But I'm still kinda worried about that" Naruto confessed. The man looked at him quizzically, even if Naruto thought he didn't care about him, he still wanted to know what was stopping him from coming.
"Why?"
"Well..Konoha is my home..isn't it suppose to teach me?" Naruto said in a depressed tone.
'Fucking bastards..look at what you did to the kid' the man thought angrily "Yes it is Naruto, I'm not going to lie." Naruto looked crestfallen at hearing that, but quickly masked with an accepting face. "But, it doesn't mean its right. They are suppose to teach you. But if those fucking idiots don't want to then I'm going to take that position!" the man proudly proclaimed. He wanted this kid to learn hard and train hard and if this village wasn't going to support him then to hell with them! He'll be there to do it!
"Thank you. But don't talk about them like that." Naruto chastised sightly. He was happy the man wanted to be there for him, but he didn't want him bad-mouthing the village either.
"I'm not sorry, but I'll try and stop saying the truth about this place" the man said slightly annoyed.
"Hey!" Naruto shouted at the man.
The man smirked at Naruto before speaking again, "Alright alright calm down. Now let's get to the point," he stopped and eerie silence flowed between the two. In a serious and grave tone, the man asked, "Naruto what is your answer?"
Naruto looked back at Konoha and gave it a sad smile. He wanted to be there for the village, he wanted to protect it, but how could he if didn't get stronger? Even if he didn't like the idea of leaving the only home he's ever known, he had to do this. It was the only way.
"I accept" Naruto said with a rare solemn in his voice.
"Fuck yeah!" the man yelled the minute Naruto finished answering. " Get ready to train like crazy Naruto! This going to be the craziest shit you've ever done, I mean fuck its going to be crazy. Its going to be the shit!" the man then started jumping around and whooping like madman who was drunk and high.
"Uhh..yeah.." 'Weirdo' Naruto thought as sweat dropped.
"Alright lets head out" the man said after he finished cheering. Naruto perked up at hearing that they were going now. He thought he would have a little time to pack his things and get ready. "I don't have any clothes"
"Fuck that. You'll get some on the way" the man said waving off the idea of needing clothes. He also put up a hand to stop Naruto from complaining that he needed this and that, when all he really needed was himself.
"Naruto grab my hand, I'm bout to get us inside the forest outside of Konoha kay?" the man looked at Naruto for understanding. Naruto looked back at him in curiosity, wondering what jutsu he was going to use to pull that off, but he nodded his head anyways. He grab the man's had and waited for them to be transported.
"Alright! Wind Style: Genzai no toransu o maku!" the minute the man said that, Naruto felt a gust of air drag him in to the forest. Even though everything happened in under a second he still felt the wind pushing him to the forest. But he decided to enjoy the weird feeling that came with it, so he shut his eyes and let it happened. The next time he opened his eyes he was in the forest with the man standing next to him.
"Whoa! That was awesome! What jutsu was that?!" Naruto said jumping up and down from excitement.
"Calm the fuck down, damn. It was wind style: wind current transport" the man explained.
"Are you going to teach me it?!" Naruto was getting excited all over again. "Yeah when you're ready for it!" the man replied with a smirk
"What! I'm ready to lea-" Naruto was caught off when the man started walking, completely ignoring him. "Hey where you going?!" Naruto shouted at him. He couldn't help but feel a little hurt, even if the man was still in his sight it felt like he was abandoning him.
"Come on Naruto! We're wasting time! Stop your blabbering and walk!" the man yelled back. Naruto turned around and looked back at Konoha, his home. He closed his eyes and tried to think of some good memories he had there. The only one was when Teuchi gave him first bowl of ramen, which was of course free of charge. Naruto smiled and thanked Konoha for that one memory. He began walking, but then stopped again and gave Konoha one last look.
"Even if you caused me pain, you're still my home. And I'll protect my home with everything I've got. So I'm going to get stronger so I can protect you with everything Konoha! You hear me? I'll get stronger and protect and all the villagers dattebayo!" Naruto stopped, and give another one of his rare solemn looks as he spoke, "Don't worry I'll be back and I'll be stronger dattebayo"
And with that Naruto ran off into the night with the man ahead of him, a new adventure awaiting him and new challenges ahead.
But whatever came in his way he would face it and become stronger from it for he was
Uzumaki Naruto
And he was strong.
a/n: And off into a new world and new adventures! What awaits are young blonde hero? Only time will tell. And what about Harumi/Kasumi!? I know what you're thinking about the Red Light District, but don't worry all will be explained.
I already talked about the rape scene in my other a/n, but I'll address it again. I wanted it to be bad, that's why I wrote it like that and if you don't like it well then I'm sorry this story isn't for you. I'm not saying there are going to be more rape scene, but there will be violent ones and if you don't want that kinda of stuff then okay fine. This is a M rated story for a reason. [hope I don't sound bitchy] Read a different story if you like fluff and stuff, cause there won't always be that in my story.
Okay rant over.
I know some people aren't big on the OC's neither am I, since most of them are Mary Sues. But this one isn't going to be like that. [that's what they all say :p] But I'll try my hardest to make her different. I was kinda disappointed with this chapter cuz she acted like Hinata a bit, but then again I thought she would act like that in that kind of situation. So yeah. Just remember, the story is about my OC, Gaara & Sasuke, but at times it will Naruto or Hinata or Naruhina centric! So watch out for that. :]
Hmm, anything else?
Nope!
Alright REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW! They keep the story alive. Oh I'm on spring break so expect two or three more updates this week, depending on much free time I have! Alright bye!
:]
