"Where is he?" Now fury filtered Sasuke's voice; a question that rung unanswered. There in the field, stood the group with bobbing throats, biting of lips and meticulous glances; these quivering movements all being thrown about like the fire that roared from behind.
Patience was growing weary.
"What's it to you?"
This time, it wasn't the voice of Neji Hyuga threatening to play the other on. Instead, the husked tone came from the leader, the hound, the bulldog: Kiba Inuzuka.
Opening his mouth, then clamping it down quickly, Sasuke rethought his words. The question caught him completely off guard.
It was no secret Naruto and Sasuke weren't exactly coinciding. If anything one would imagine the ash haired male joining the efforts to keep this little plot under wraps, but then again, he was never a cooperative sort of rebel.
"For starters, I'd rather not have the burden-"
"There would be no burden. You have nothing to do with this."
"Well knowing there is something going on-"
"What's going on Uchiha? You wouldn't be asking questions if you knew."
"I would be a bystander if I don't-"
"Bystander? You don't know anything remember?"
Silence.
It seemed every non-partisan and logical had been shot down by Sasuke's opposition Kiba. Sasuke felt a grunt escape him joined jaws. He had caught him in a corner.
"Just," For the first time in what it seemed to be years, Sasuke Uchiha could not formulate the perfect response, now he had to find a different approach. "Tell me…" Begging? "Before I asked the teacher to do another headcount." Ah a threat.
Much more Uchiha-esk.
There was another gap of wordlessness filled with darting eyes, speaking a secret language with one another. They couldn't tell. They promised they wouldn't tell… but boys don't keep promises.
"He is in there."
Neji's eyelids abridged, shock threatening to rip his tongue right from his mouth. How could he do this?
"Where?"
"Room B 42. The supply closet to the left."
Kiba's words were steady, his eyes trained on the burning structure: whereas Neji was shaking, the male's fingers balling by his sides. He should have done something to ensure loyalty to their 'cause'.
Sasuke's had received a response, but that didn't leave him anymore assured. Looking back at Kiba his teeth gritted. There was no need of gratitude for these kinds of people.
"Why is he in there?" This is the underlying finite paradox they all prayed to keep as far away from them as Pluto is to the sun. The venom coursing Sasuke's words couldn't help but be replaced with a sense of actual uncertainty. It wasn't something he wanted, but it was only natural. He knew these people had something to do with the other's disappearance, yet the means to how still mustered.
This, Kiba found it difficult to an answer to, weather it have been from him not wanting the blame being placed over his head or possibly give into the truth, his lips held together tightly.
"Inuzuka," Neji said, his speech finding the place to slip into the conversation. He had to set a warning. The more that is said, the more danger is brought to them. How could Kiba be so selfish?
"Lay off, will you?" Shikamaru snorted in no direction in particular, yet receiving a wild glance from every corner of the world.
Neji's own breath began silencing him. Rolling his eyes, Shikamaru strode over to Sasuke, apparently finding no sense of life-altering chains tied to the situation, or if he did, he was hiding it very well.
"If anyoneis going to get him out of there, they're gonna need this key," he continued, tossing a small key in the palms of Sasuke's awaiting palms.
Sasuke nodded quickly, looking closely at the important object in hand. He quickly turned, time clearly of the essence as the sound of another window cracking over with smoke, sounded above.
"And Sasuke," Shikamaru added, his tone falling to a more serious note, "It… It was us… Our fault…. It is our fault."
Each pair of eyes fell to the ground like rocks dropping into spider webs. Shikamaru worked the hardest part of his being to keep his vision from faltering with those disgusted dark eyes of Sasuke.
"Just, don't let him die," Kiba yelped with a deeply pained voice, "Will yah, man?" Liquid ran of the boy's face, his lips quaking together as another wince left him.
"I don't want Naruto to die, dude," He was crying… actually crying, "He doesn't freaking desire it, he just doesn't!" Actually crying for the person he hates claims he hates the most. "Fuck…"
For a brief moment, nothing could be heard but the hissing of flames, chatter of other students and teachers, and the frustrated extortions and hard inhales from Kiba.
"Okay," Sasuke said simply, the other brunette noticeably perking up.
"Okay what?"
"I'll do whatever I can to not let Naruto die."
Kiba's face immediately turned back to the ground, his eyes wider and now sniffling slightly, "T-thanks…"
"Not for your sake though," Sasuke said, shooting the other a pointed look, "You deserve the burden, you hypocritical piece of-" yet again, Sasuke stopped himself, letting out another deep breath," But I… I need to protect him, from all of this."
Without wasting anymore-precious time, Sasuke turned on his heels, disappearing completely within the crowed. Somehow the words sounded as if they weren't just directed at burning buildings.
There, the rest of the six stood. A clear line of dived becoming more and more apparent with obvious body language.
"Kiba," Ino whispered, glancing back and forth between Shikamaru and said male, yet her voice clearer then a smoke-less day, "How could you both?"
"How could I what?" The shaken up brunette spat back. His heated hazel eyes mustering off the most despicable look they could manage as he peered up from the ground.
Instantly he felt a piercing pair of nails digging into the sides of his throat. Wheezing, not only because of the shocking violence but also the restraint on his breath, Kiba rocked his head back in means to escape. If anything the chokehold only constricted.
"How could you go and fuck allofus?" Neji's breath was close enough to whip against the brunettes peach fuzzed cheek.
These words just flew through Kiba's ears, the grip around his neck being the subject of his concentration.
"Because, that is what you did!" The words picking up speed, "You selfish bitch!"
"Neji, calm down." Shikamaru was quicker to rush to the aid then most, placing a light hand on the other's vice arm.
Neji's eyes were what would consider hallow. They were beautiful, unique, and utterly empty. These barren eyes did not reveal a simple whim passing between both of Hyuga's ears. So when these two desolate orbs danced over Shikamaru there was no way of knowing if the other was planning on smiling or shanking Shikamaru in his sleep.
"You too."
Kiba started kicking, his body just begging for oxygen. It seemed Neji had yet to let him breath…
"Come on… you're suffocating him," Shikamaru laughed forcefully, not knowing what emotion to display with this male, "We don't want another death now do we?"
Without speaking or removing his transfixed gaze from Shikamaru, Neji straightened his thin fingers, Kiba falling to his knees instantaneously.
Neji seemed to freeze up for a moment, weather or not he was listening to the gasps from the student below him are unknown.
Letting out a grunt he then proceeded to remove himself from circle, becoming lost in the sea of people in the same manner as a past Uchiha had.
He could feel Shikamaru's eyes never leaving his back.
