NOTE: Okay... Sorry but this is a REALLY short chapter. I will make the next chapter longer, I promise... you people with AP summer work would understand, right? Heh... Anyway, here's a stupid chapter 6 up. Hope you enjoy.
"How was your day?" Anko asked, smiling a smile that a mother would on a typical day, when their child returned home from school
"What are you, my mother?" Tayuya said.
"Not really, I would never give birth to a daughter like you… Oh no," Anko said, jokingly.
"Why'd you call me here, woman? I need to clean up a certain douche bag's library," Tayuya said.
"Douche bag, my ass. Don't talk about him like that, he's impossible but he's a... respectable shinobi. Anyway, I called you here because… We really didn't finish talking. I'm broke from all the sake you freakin drank," Anko said.
"We talked about "my life" yesterday when I was drunk… Why the hell do I need to repeat myself?"
"Who asked you about repeating yourself? You told me nothing whatsoever. You told me that there was a guy named Sakon in your life and that he was a bag of douche… Then you passed out. That's not telling me anything whatsoever," Anko said.
Tayuya sighed. "I don't want to talk about it…" She said.
"What was Sasuke talking about? Sakon was the freaky-man's name, isn't it?"
You want him alive, don't you? You still feel attached to him don't you? Don't betray Konoha because of that person. This village won't forgive you.
That damned Sasuke's words rang through her head. "Fuck it," Tayuya said.
"Unlike you, I don't fuck anything I can grab. II need to get this out of you. We need to tell the Fifth (Hokage) too if-"
"I'M NOT TELLING ANYONE ANYTHING, FUCKING DAMN IT!" Tayuya yelled.
Anko flinched at the sudden yelling from her.
"God… let me just go home… I had a shitty day," Tayuya's voice had lost her edge in them and had fallen into a pit of sadness.
Anko did not say much. She looked at her sympathetically and sighed. "Come on in, I won't ask you anything else," She said, moving out of the way of the door. "But answer me just this one thing; who is Sakon? It was the one that Sasuke transformed into, wasn't he?"
"Yes… he… well… he's nothing to me. At least, he should be. Does that answer your question?" Tayuya said.
Anko stood there for a moment, studying her. Then she nodded to only say "Yes, yes it does."
Tsunade looked to Kakashi, a little confused. "Back already? Did I misjudge the difficulty of this mission? I did not expect it to be so easy… that's why I sent you of all people."
Kakashi shook his head. "You did not misjudge. In fact, you should probably punish me. The mission was almost a complete failure," Kakashi said.
Tsunade's smile faded and her expression of what-the-fuck replaced it completely. "What did you say?"
"By the time I caught up to them, they were out of the Fire Country. I've been following a bunshin. It seems that they already knew that we will be tracking them down. They had no intention of covering up what their plans were. It was wise that you did not send any of the three that were linked with Orochimaru because the three of them are what they want. They said that if we gave them up, they won't start a war," Kakashi said.
"That probably means that they have enough force to start a war if they wanted to… isn't that right, Tsunade-sama?" Shizune asked.
Tsunade nodded. "Kakashi, you keep your eyes on Tayuya at all times. Start training her again immediately. Tell Kurenai and Asuma to watch Anko and the same for Sakura and Naruto for Sasuke. We can't afford to lose those three. We've already…" Tsunade closed her eyes. "Lost so many."
Kakashi nodded. "I'll do what I must."
Tayuya returned to Kakashi's house to resume her cleaning duties. It sucked balls but it had to be done. She was a little more than half-way done now, which was good. She came to realize that not all of Kakashi's books were porn. Most of them were porn but there were some books that looked meaningful to read. A side of Kakashi that Tayuya never guessed that he had. Like it mattered… All she cared about was getting it done. She was carrying an arm-full of books when a sudden puff of smoke exploded in front of her and someone she'd been particularly waited for appeared out of nowhere.
"Yo," He said, so casually.
Tayuya dropped her books. "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN, 'YO'? GOD DAMN, IT'S YOUR FUCKING HOUSE! CAN'T YOU JUST USE THE GOD DAMN DOOR? THAT'S WHAT IT'S FOR! TO BE USED WHEN SOMEONE NEEDS TO COME IN!" She yelled.
"Why am I being yelled at for entering my own house?" He asked her.
She saw no need to answer him.
"Ah, I see. You made some progress in here. Well, you don't have to do it anymore if you don't want to. I think you learned your lesson by now.
WHAT? Hell no! She got this far and she was not gonna quit because this stupid fucker told her so (although this was his library).
"I'm not fucking quitting!" Tayuya yelled, as if she was gonna eat him alive.
"Uh… well you can continue too if you want to too I guess…" Kakashi answered. "Anyway, how did their first mission go?"
"Success… God, it was my first D-rank mission too. They really… suck."
He shrugged. "A mission is a mission. You must do it honorably."
Yeah… right… how exactly do you build a fucking cow fence so honorably?
Then Tayuya remembered that Kakashi was on a mission himself. Sakon… was he alive? Did he get to see him? "Why are you back so early?" Tayuya asked, hoping, that the conversation would lead Kakashi to talk about a certain man named Sakon.
"Oh, I failed that thing. My bad.; should have been more careful. Well, go home whenever you feel like. Don't do anything evil to my house, I'm gonna have a little chat with Sasuke. He owes me a plate of tango after all," He said.
"But… I want to hear about your mission…" Tayuya said.
"I don't want to talk about my failure," Kakashi said.
"Then did you fight any enemies?" Tayuya asked, getting more desperate for an answer. Was Sakon alive? Say it, damn it! JUST SAY IT!
"Well, sort of… I don't want Sasuke to wait for too long-"
"Since when did you fucking care about who the fuck waits for you for however fucking long! He waited for you since forever ago and it won't hurt to do it one more time!" Tayuya yelled.
Kakashi stared at her blankly. "And since when did you care about missions I go to?" He shot back.
Tayuya reached in her pocket and took out the green piece of ribbon. "You said I was free from them. I have nothing to do with them now, right? So why do you need to hide things about them from me? That's fucking bullshit!"
"I'm not trying to hide it from you because of that. A ninja does not reveal the contents of the mission so freely. The level of security of contents goes higher as the rank of the mission gets higher. Plus, you wanted information about the mission to link it to your past that is a broken link to you now. Am I wrong?"
She would have cherished that moment forever if she could answer "yes" but obviously, the answer was a big fat "No." He was exactly right, and she hated him for that. "Would it hurt to tell me just one little thing?" Tayuya asked.
Kakashi looked at her.
"Have you heard of a guy named Sakon? At all?"
Yes? No? Answer the fucking question, damn it! Say something!
"Yes, I've heard of him," He said, and started out the door.
Tayuya grabbed his arm to stop him.
He did not fight her. He didn't even look at her. Before she could even say anything at all, he spoke. "I know what you want to ask me, Tayuya. Again, his existence shouldn't matter to you. Firstly, you are a Konoha Shinobi now. Secondly, he's dead," Kakashi said, as he slowly turned his head towards her. His black gaze looked into her shocked brown ones as he said the next few words that sent Tayuya's thoughts into a turbulent storm. "I killed him while on the mission."
Tayuya's grip lost the force and Kakashi slowly pulled away to leave her alone.
So Sakon was dead... Oh... Okay... So why did Tayuya even care? Why? It was a good thing that a powerful enemy died, right? So why did she feel that a part of her heart was slowly being torn by the cruel hands of fate? Why did she want to murder Kakashi for killing Sakon? Aw hell, why the fuck was she crying?
Yes, she was crying. Ashinobi must keep emotions on the inside no matter what the situation... to possess a heart that never shows tears.
If breaking that rule had a death sentence as the punishment, she would have died only three times in her life. The day she was born, the day everyone died, and this day, where she cried for someone in Kakashi's library.
