Chapter Four - My Dad's Gonna Kick Your Ass
Ice cold water splashed off Kaisuke's face forcing him back into consciousness. He groaned at the throbbing pain in the back of his head. Whoever these people were, they knew how to hit.
"What do you want with me?"
Kaisuke's words echoed back at him, confusing him for a moment. It wasn't until his vision cleared and he finally saw the room, that he realised he was alone. He also noticed that he was chained to the wall by his wrists and ankles.
"Bloody cowards." he mumbled to himself. "Can't even face an eight year old."
"Ah, so you're finally awake." came a mocking voice from the now opening doorway.
"You would know." snapped Kaisuke. "Throwing cold water on me will do that."
SLAP!
Kaisuke's head snapped to the left with the force of the blow. He cursed himself for still being low on chakra. An internal smirk grew within Kaisuke as he imagined the shocked looks when he got back to full strength.
He sort felt sorry for these idiots, whoever they were, they had a tiger by the tail and didn't even realise it. Then again, when Uncle Gaara found out, when his father found out, these fools would have monsters coming after them.
Kaisuke knew he should probably just stay quiet and safe but the insult of being taken against his will gnawed at him. Eventually, after great mental argument, Kaisuke decided to play with their heads. After all, his chakra was already beginning to return and he had no doubt that people were already looking for him.
"So? How's your recovery coming along?" asked Kaisuke politely.
The man looked at him strangely. "What recovery? What are you talking about?"
Kaisuke gave the man a confused look of his own. "You mean you weren't injured?"
The man scratched the back of his head. This was one weird kid. He had been expecting him to be crying and screaming for his mother by now. But no, not one sign of fear had shown itself so far. Nope, this boy was too busy asking about some nonexistent injury.
Kaisuke suddenly burst out laughing. "You mean you were at full strength and could only grab a child?! What a wimp!"
An icy chill snaked its way around the room as the door opened and closed again. A tall blue skinned man had entered the room. Kaisuke recognised him instantly. It was the man who had snatched him from the carnival. He was chuckling slightly. "You've got guts, kid, but it's just not your lucky day."
"You should have seen me yesterday." smirked Kaisuke.
Both men laughed slightly at that. The blue skinned man patted Kaisuke on the shoulder, making Kaisuke have to fight very hard to suppress the shudder that threatened to run through his body.
"You are definitely your fathers son." stated the blue skinned man.
"Thanks!" smiled Kaisuke.
SMACK!
Kaisuke's head snapped round to the right as the blue skinned man slapped him.
"I hate your father!" the man stated.
Kaisuke spat out some blood on to the floor. He lifted his head and glared at the man. "You ain't doing a great job to make him like you either!"
SMACK!
Kaisuke doubled over as pain seared through his abdomen. He forced his head back up and glared at both men.
"When my Dad gets here, you're going to pay for that!"
Both men laughed at him, sending chills down Kaisuke's spine. He kept his fear hidden and locked his glare on to the blue skinned man who would die as soon as his Dad found out.
The blue skinned man stepped closer again. "Allow me to introduce myself. It is, after all, only fair for you to know the name of the man who will send you to your next life."
Kaisuke couldn't hold in the gasp in time. The blue skinned man laughed at him. "I am Kisame, Akatsuki and legendary swordsman." He patted Kaisuke's shoulder again. "And I truly hope that your father does come. It's why you're here after all."
"You're a dead man!" spat Kaisuke.
"As is your father!" grinned Kisame evilly. "As are you, Kendo Uzumaki!"
The two men were startled when their captive started laughing. What the hell was wrong with this kid? Perhaps the fear had caused his mind to snap. The men exchanged a confused glance as the boys laughter grew in strength and volume.
SLAP!
Kaisuke spat out some more blood, raised his head and grinned at both his captors.
"You're both morons!" he laughed. "You're big plan to capture the nine-tailed fox has failed before it began."
"What makes you so sure?!" demanded Kisame.
"I'm not Kendo Uzumaki!" stated Kaisuke proudly.
Both men seemed shocked for a moment. They stared at him and saw that he was telling the truth. Kisame raised his fist and was about to strike the shorter man when Kaisuke's voice cut him off.
"My name is Kaisuke…"
"That's Youshi's kid. His mother's Haruno Sakura." stated Kisame's accomplice quickly, grateful not to be struck.
"We can still use him then." stated Kisame.
"You didn't let me finish." snapped Kaisuke.
Both men stared at the boy they had mistaken for Kendo. He was grinning at them in a way that gave them chills. It looked far too familiar.
"My name is Kaisuke…"
"You've already said that." snapped the smaller man.
"Uchiha!"
Both his captors froze, their eyes wide and the smaller mans jaw dropped open slightly.
Kaisuke could almost smell the panic forming within them. He had recognised them as Akatsuki the minute Kisame showed up and, from long talks with his father, he knew exactly what effect his surname would have on these idiots. Kaisuke was not disappointed.
"I am the son of Sasuke Uchiha!" Kaisuke stated proudly as more panic showed in the eyes of his captors.
"My Dad's gonna kick your ass!"
Kisame punched the smaller man in the jaw sending him flying across the room. Then he rushed over and grabbed the smaller man's collar.
"You IDIOT!" he shouted in the man's face.
Whatever he was going to say next was cut off by a large explosion rippling through the building.
Kisame threw the man against the wall and growled in his face. "Kill the boy! I'm going to get myself some Uchiha insurance." he turned toward Kaisuke and grinned. "Tell me boy, is your Mommy home?"
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" screamed Kaisuke as Kisame raced out of the room.
The remaining man laughed. "Time to die, runt." he mocked as he began to slowly stalk towards Kaisuke. The man cracked his knuckles, as if trying to add effect.
"Wanna bet!"
The man paused at the coldness of Kaisuke's words. Kaisuke raised his head and sent pure terror into the man's very soul as blood red, Sharingan eyes locked with the mans.
