Waking up extra early Sasuke made his way towards the prison, anxiety danced around in his gut as he blamed the girl for giving him. These foreign feelings he had never gotten before came too right when she came into his life right when their eyes met, that friction. He couldn't tell if it was friction or not he told himself that it was because he had shut off that probe of his mind using it instead as storage for different information. A box in his hands he turned to look at the guard who eyed him suspiciously, his eyes darkened as he set the box down taking off his shoes allowing the ANBU ninja to check him all over. He had to admit he had lost all trust for them those ANBU, why simple enough and anyone was to know if they did know his history. Sighing he made his way down the cells.
The current smile of mildew, sweat and rotting people came to him in a sudden wisp the smile he had never become accustomed to yet learned to withstand. Gagging to get it over with before meeting Kagome he turned the corner only to hear a loud crash his eyes widened in surprise to the random noise hearing a loud yell he remembered to be Kagome's yell, "I'm not eating I told you! I don't need it!"
Another voice came through sounding rather annoyed and slightly sluggish, "You'll do what you're told you're the prison! Ibiki specifically asked you to be fed when you meet him!"
"I don't give a damn who this Ibiki is and I don't want to eat that shit! You eat it if you want to so much!"
Sasuke stood watch from afar seeing the guard tangle around with the eyes a muscle showing annoyance on his cheek causing him to snicker to himself while he mumbled, "Why you little! I'm going to show you…."
Sasuke called out wanting to be heard instead knowing full well that Kagome was most likely purposely doing this, "Hello, I am here to visit the inmate…"
He turned suddenly gripping the cell about an inch of it open to the world, Kagome's eyes daunted over it unnervingly though it was hardly shown. She swallowed turning herself on the bed and crossing her legs Indian style, "Sasuke, you're here really early."
The guard opened the cell allowing him in then shut it after causing him to jump at the sound of the noise echoing down the damper walls of stone. He responded shakily, "Call me to open it when you're done kid."
A glare was exchanged between himself and the guard while Kagome merely smiled as she did the whole entire time of argument. Sasuke set the box on the thin mattress hearing the creek from the springs below. Kagome leaned over it hearing the appease in Sasuke's muscles from the lost weight. She grabbed a book fingering through it turning and smiling, "Thank you very much."
He nodded turning away his hands in his pockets once again. Resolving to stand near the brick wall he looked out the tiny cell to the further darkness lit by a flickering fluorescent light. He asked to start conversation while Kagome stuck her nose deeper into the book with every underlying word, "How has it been for the night?"
She looked up to him and smiled a little much to his dismay since she was in prison after all and supposed to be suffering somewhat. She turned to him carefully the book laid softly in the box while she shrugged, "Annoying as you know I don't sleep…"
Furrowing his eyebrows he leaned forward pushing himself from the wall pointing out, "But a human being has to sleep or they eventually die, are you trying to tell me you aren't human?"
She laughed a little covering her mouth to which is subconsciously found to be quite cute until he saw her press a hand to her face a smile still planted on her face in that strange way, "What am I looking pale already?"
He turned away narrowing his eyes, "You know what I mean."
She waved to him leaning her back against the wall moving the box to the ground offering him a seat besides her to which he did not take out of distrust, "Don't be so serious we're still teenagers why waste half our lives doing what we'll be doing for the other half? ("We can't all be naïve," murmured Sasuke) I mean really what a boring time that would be. A waste of a life time if you ask me, but do what you wants my dear."
He growled at the 'my dear' while she smiled then looked up clarifying exasperated with his mood, "Torture Sasuke, I was given many chemicals do not forget…now come on though you are supposed to be a visitor do try and pep me up a little bit, its quite murky in here you know."
Hearing the zips and daps of a fly he twitched until he saw Kagome throw her hand up catching it in her hand. She flicked it out in disgust then turned back asking concerned which almost made him angry and yet also amused, "So how are your ribs and everything?"
He nodded standing shrugging, "It's sore but fine, I've been through worse."
She smiled quirking her eyebrow, "Truly? You have been through worse?"
He eyed her seeing her leaning her head into her palm leaning forward her elbow on her knee as she looked at him. He wondered to himself if she was mocking him out of amusement but then he noticed her looking at his feet instead and not his eyes. He walked towards her bending down to the box reaching down into the grouping taking out a thick book roughly 400 pages. He turned, "This book I found in my library, and it is a list of all of Konoha's history."
She asked suddenly, "Konoha, what is that?"
He seemed dumbfounded by the usually foolish question looking at her seeing pure question in her eyes. He took a moment, "Its in these books I don't think I could really explain it. Anything else you want to know just ask me or Lord Hokage since I heard he came to see you."
She smiled to him nodding and turning away reaching out for the book her hands soft against the leathering cover. She asked, "Are you relieved?"
Confused he leaned forward, "What?"
"Are you relieved that your debt has been repaid, that you have nothing that you owe me anymore. Are you relieved?"
Sasuke took a moment blinking then turned itching his head anomalously, "Of course, don't ask such stupid questions."
She looked at him and smile again turning away while he walked towards the end of the bed sitting down glancing to her randomly leaning foreword running his hands over his knees. Swallowing lightly he glanced around then turned away. Clearing his throat he saw she was still stuck in that book. Leaning back he asked, "Can you teach me?"
She raised an eyebrow, "What?"
He glared at her, "I want you to teach me how you did those things you did that exam I spoke of is tomorrow I won't be able to come see you for a bit…"
"I know that already Kakashi made a rather rude visit to me and told me all of it. It seems I have been asked to assist with it under chain and lock."
Confused by his sensei he stared at her seeing her lean up and shake her head, "No, I won't teach you have to do these things."
"Why!"
"Because to learn them you'll have to be tortured"
His eyes became vacant while she turned away slowly running her bandages feet into the thin worn slippers provided as shoes for her. Wrapping her arms around her waist she smiled, "I wish you luck."
He murmured in dispositional response, "Thank you."
Suddenly at the cell door came that guard from before his face still disgruntled while Kagome smiled to him asking suddenly in a taunting voice, "Now Loki are you back for more?"
"Shut up you! Let's go Ibiki's waiting! And kid you need to go I wouldn't expect you to come back later on she'll be busy."
Kagome stood as he unhooked the chains from the walls grabbing the end to have her follow him. She stopped in front of the cell Sasuke standing facing the other way yet first turned to her beginning the syllables of a word yet stopped suddenly a small smile on his face while he shrugged, "I'll see you later."
She nodded, "Good bye Sasuke."
The guard pulled her towards the end of the hallway opening a large door allowing her in. They passed a series of doorways and cells passing many grotesque questionable things stopping at the end of another corridor entering a room resembling her own cell only a tad bit more spacious and with one hanging lap a table and a metal chair. She was chained to the chair sitting down the tap quivering with every mood as she noticed.
Her eyes glanced to the light wavering like waves of the ocean. The guard left while she turned her head away calmly pulling the chair in. She took a deep breath looking around when the door opened showing a scarred man in dark clothing and seeming rather masculine staring at her. He threw the door to a close walking inside setting down his kunai holster then sitting across of her.
She looked at him and smiled, "Hello Ibiki I presume, I am Kagome."
He scowled at her while she pointed out, "I am under siege because I won't tell you about my world and because you suspect me for a murder your leader specifically told me I wasn't as suspected in because I have a pretty solid alibi I mean this guy has what you call the sharingan in his eye can't fool that right?"
He seemed surprised by her nerve and knowledge yet he leaned back crossing his arms over his chest. He asked carefully, "How have you enjoyed your stay here?"
"In this prison, well I can't complain considering my last residence was a bit…uncomfortable."
He asked bemused, "Uncomfortable? How so?"
"You know very well what I mean, you are quite an expert at it aren't you? Only you're in for the less painful. You know what I mean you could tell right when you walked in…"
A bit aggravated by her high and mighty attitude he pointed out, "I don't know what you're speaking of and I suggest you refrain from using such a plaintive term."
She leaned forward just as he had, "You play god with the minds of other people, I would not be speaking…"
He leaned closer glaring at the little girl whom would be if anybody else at home chatting on the phone with friends yet she was sitting here speaking of the political implications of his profession. Swallowing he leaned back, "Your scars then…as I thought."
She smiled, "your scars too…we have both suffered a great deal I think it'd be best if we refrain from speaking of it. I do not speak of things that could harm my family I do not trust you to be honest and I well not because I don't know you. I won't give strangers information about people I care about. Please do not make me."
Staring at her she smiled to him then spoke softly, "Understood then tell me, why is it that Uchiha is here?"
"Uchiha? Is that Sasuke's last name?"
He nodded carefully while she smiled turning away though there was really nothing else to look at, "He came to repay a debt…Ibiki, or do you wish me to call you something else you are quite more elder than me I am only 14."
Flinching at the age he nodded, "Sir."
She smiled nodding, "Sir."
"Which debt?"
"Nosy, all of these people I meet are so nosy."
"Answer the question."
She smiled bending her head, "I saved him when we were attacked during their training in the forest when they found me. I saved him from a falling tree."
"He is a genin that should be easy enough to evade."
She looked him in the eye suddenly speaking calmly, "He was instilled in fear."
Her eyes stirred quickly while she smirked softly turning her head away seeing he was shaking. She stood, "I think I should go."
Gripping his chest he looked up to her seeing her flinch and bent down towards him reaching into his coat pocket much to his dismay taking out a cloth she assumed she must of seen before. Pressing it to his lips he slipped blood from his thin lips causing her to lift his hand and have him hold it himself. She bowed, "Have a good day."
She walked to the door way carefully as the guards ran in surrounding her suddenly remembering the chains that she had once worn yet were now on the floor escorting her back to her cell. Turning she saw him march out of the room quickly after her yet she only smiled to him in return turning the corner.
