Chapter 8
...+++...
Hiashi stomped through the Native-American settlement as though he owned it. He ignored the hostile glares the inhabitants sent him and solely focused on the task ahead. He was fully aware of the Uchiha Brat, his own traitorous offspring and co. tailing him, but they were powerless to thwart him. He was almighty, all-knowing, all seeing; nobody could hamper him once he set his mind to something. He was an unstoppable force of nature and nothing; no one could stand in his way!
Striding up to the simple, white two story house at the end of the dirt road, Hiashi slammed his fist repeatedly on the painted red door, hollering at the top of his lungs. This result in frenzied barking and growling from the back of the house, instantly reminding Hiashi of the wolf-dogs the Inuzuka's bred. Hiashi reluctantly reined in his temper and proceeded to knock politely on the Inuzuka's door. Finally the barrier that separated him from his property/daughter opened.
However, before he could demand entrance or threaten legal action, he found himself staring down the barrel of a shot gun; "my mother wanted to use a frying-pan but since you're trespassing on our turf, I'm legally allowed to defend it whatever means necessary." Hiashi gawked open mouthed at the young, heavily made-up woman with long straight brown hair that was neatly tied back in a low pony tail. The determined glint in her soulful brown eyes suggested that she was seriously considering shooting him on the spot. A large wolf-like dog stood behind her, emitting a deep menacing growl at the intruder and looking like he'd desire nothing more then to rip out Hiashi's throat. A small trickle of fear travelled down his spine, but he quickly recovered and immediately demanded to see the Inuzuka's leader: Inuzuka, Tsume.
The young women heaved a sigh and stepped back, gesturing with the gun for him to enter the premises. Hiashi was slightly bewildered by the girls change of mind, and upon spotting his uncertainty she quickly explain that it was against tribal custom to refuse an audience with the leader of the clan. It was an age old custom and was followed without exception.
Inuzuka Tsume was to be found rifling through the kitchen cupboards like a woman processed. Hana rolled her eyes at her mother's behaviour and continued to point the gun at Hiashi's back, while tradition dictated: that any person; no matter race, creed, or cultural background, could be denied an audience with the chief of the clan…it said nothing whatsoever about how they should be escorted or watched during the conference. So Hana took this to mean that she was allowed to hold the requester at gun point throughout the meeting without violating tradition. She boisterously cleared her throat in an attempt to catch her mother's attention "eh…mam? Hiashi's appealed for an audience…so…could you stop rooting through the drawers for a second and listen to me!" Tsume head snapped up and she slowly withdrew her arm from the cupboard, a frying-pan gripped firmly in her hand.
"…an audience? What the hell do you want with one of those then? Can't we just skip the crap and get right to the head-bashing?"
"Where is my daughter? Hand her over immediately or suffer my displeasure!"
Tsume and Hana shared a loaded look before both women burst into a fit of laughter. Never in 20 years as head of the clan had Tsume ever heard such a ridiculous assertion; "HA "*displeasure*" you say? I haven't heard such lame-ass phrasing since my husband tried to explain why he was bonking our dog-walker! Honey if you're trying to intimidate me, you'd want to try a bit harder!" Hiashi, unfamiliar with being laughed at could only scowl at the two strong females before him.
He was unused to women in power, for in the Hyuuga clan females were regarded as nothing more then pretty faces; ornaments to be taken out of there cases and shown off at functions and parties, they where what Hanabi often referred to as "shadow dolls". Hanabi, herself had never been subjected to this stereotypical role thanks to her fathers influence and favouritism. She had vowed to change this opinion once she became the first female head of the Hyuuga clan, after all she did not want to be viewed as the weaker-sex by her subordinates.
Hiashi straightened his spine and tried to squash the vague feeling of discomfort he felt while in the presence of these fearless women. "Listen to me!" he demanded furiously, "hand over my daughter at once! You have no right to keep her from me and if you refuse too hand her over I shall involve the authorities, and no one wants that!"
However Tsume was unimpressed with this threat and simply shrugged it off by briefly explaining that Hinata had left, and that she had no clue as to where she had gone.
Hiashi found this hard to believe.
Striding across the room, he snatched the gun from Hana's unsuspecting hand and pointed it directly between her mother's eyes. He was frothing at the mouth mad. "HAND HER OVER OR I SWEAR I'LL SHOOT!"
"Nope"
"TELL ME WHERE THAT DAMNED GIRL IS OR YOUR BRAINS WILL BE SPLATTERED ALL OVER THE FLOOR!"
"Don't think so…"
"YOU UNCOOPERATIVE BITCH, WHY WON'T YOU JUST-"
Before he was able to finish his sentence the frying-pan Tsume had been holding connected with his head, causing him to drop to the floor like a piece of crap from a giraffe's ass. Hana visibly relaxed as she let out the breath she hadn't realised she was holding. She watched as mother pick Hiashi up by the armpits and started dragging him toward the front door, planning on depositing the cataleptic body outside. Tradition dictated that they where to meet with anyone who requested it, but it said nothing about the outcome, so the Inuzuka women took this to mean: that it was quiet alright to knock-out the requester so 'long as they listen to what he had to say first. "Well don't just stand there! Help me lift the lump so I can dump him out the door!"
...+++...
Sasuke watched-from the bushes- as the Inuzuka clan leader dumped Hiashi-sama's unconscious body out the front door. He couldn't help but smirk callously as she aimed a swift kick to the groin for good fortune, before slamming the door shut against his head. Two of his most trusted subordinates: Juugo and Suigetsu, who acted as his personal bodyguards wince in sympathy "he'd feel that when he wakes". They were used to their masters' twisted sense of humour. There was another member to his team who acted as his personal assistant: Karin, a feisty red-head who made no secret of her desire for him. She'd be over the moon once she heard that his fiancée had run off with another man- the scandal it would create, and Karin would make sure that everyone knew about it, just to ruin any chance Sasuke had of marrying Hinata. After all, Karin was a ruthless bitch, she wasn't about to let Sasuke go without a fight; she fought dirty too.
"So what should we do now? It doesn't really look like that woman's in the mood to negotiate with anyone right now…and I don't know 'bout you, but I don't wanna get walloped by that fry-pan! –You saw what happened to that Hyuuga bastard- dropped like a rock and he's still down!" Suigetsu ranted on, unwilling to enter the house and confront the Inuzuka Bitch, "…and those dog-wolves -things look like they could do some damage! - You did see that girl with the gun right? I dunno Sasuke…seems pretty risky going in after what we just witnessed…"
Sasuke sighed and rolled his eyes at his crony's aversion. There was no way in hell was he going to lose to a Dog-boy…he was going to go into that house, confront that formidable woman, and demand to know were his bride-to-be was! Though one glance at his minions told him it would take awhile to convince them to accompany him, "…cowards" he muttered under his breath. Turning his back on them he looked back at the house, calculating how he should approach the obviously sensitive subject. After several minutes of staring intensely at the red door as if it would reveal how best to continue he sighed in defeat. He frowned and swallowed his pride "so…any idea of how we should proceed?"
His men traded a look and nodded in silent agreement; if Sasuke couldn't think of how to avoid the situation becoming violent then the outcome seemed pretty bleak. However there was one other person they could turn too, though they were reluctant because it required much ass-licking and involved all their egos taking a bruising –including Sasuke's- "…well sir…there's always that option!", seeing the look of horror cross Sasuke's normally composed face they proceeded in a more empathic tone, "look we know its not the nicest choice but it does wheeled the best results in situations such as these…what else are we gonna do? We can't sit in a bush all day –my ass is already numb from sit 'in this position too long."
"…No!"
"Well what else we suppose to do, huh? I don't see you coming up with any master plan here! It never said nothin in my job description to help come up with the idea- I'm just here to do the grunt work!"
"It's not an option!"
"Sir…you've just got to suck it up and be a man! You have to do it…call in Karin Sir!"
...+++...
Hiashi woke with a pounding headache, he dimly recalled that infuriating Inuzuka women and her heinous daughter attacking him with a frying-pan. His entire body throbbed with pain, so much so that it felt like it was vibrating. It took him a few moments to realise that it was not his body, but merely his phone that was vibrating to signal an incoming call. He struggled to his feet, using the wall to support his weight as he whipped out his mobile; "What is it!" he snarled into the receiver, gingerly pressing his finger tips to his swollen temple, wincing at contact. There was hesitation at the other end of the line. "Well spit it out damn you! I don't have time to mollycoddle the newbie-What is it?"
"…well sir, that microchip you had implanted in you daughter at the age of three…well its still operational-so we could easily find her exact coordinates for y-"
"ENOUGH! Just tell me were my daughter is you babbling moron!" Hiashi had installed a microchip into his daughter after the first kidnapping attempt. He had never actually used it before so had been uncertain if it would work. He scowled impatiently and massaged the back of his neck, which was still sore from the door slam.
"Well Sir, from the looks of the coordinates; Hinata-san is at the third meander of the river, about a 15minute walk north from where you presently are. It's just a simple matter of walking straight through the field and heading toward the river. We will notify you if her locality should change. If you need further assistance please inform us, and we shall provide a full Search and Recover team…."Hiashi smirked and hung up without replying. If that daughter of his thought she could escape him so easily she had another thing coming!
...+++...
Sasuke mirrored Hiashi's smirk: smugness for smugness. He and his subordinates had managed to slink closer to Hiashi through the bushes, and they had heard almost everything. "Looks like we won' have to resort to calling It." He said with a triumphant glint in his dark eyes. He cast a glance back at the house, before quickly raising to his feet and began to follow Hiashi's retreating frame; towards the river, to Hinata.
