Kasumi woke up from a bed where only one candle was lighting the room. The room was all covered with blue crystals.
"Where am I?" she rubbed her eyes as she felt a blue crystal bracelet on her wrist. She tried to break or destroy it but it was no use even her own crystals couldn't destroy it.
"Don't try so hard, It's useless." Recognizing Hakaji's voice from one corner of the room
"Hakaji. Wh—why did you bring me here? What do you fucking want with me!" She shouted as she was about to attack but then the crystal necklace started to glow again causing her to feel pain.
Hakaji made an even more serious look at Kasumi. He walked towards her, the candle revealed his face, Kasumi noticed Why does he look like my father she thought
The door opened as Gotu entered. "I heard what you did Hakaji-sama, where is she I oh!" Gotu looked at Kasumi surprisingly but looked more happy
"Her destiny is not far from being fulfilled. Stay here and watch her. The bracelet won't allow her to be going anywhere" Hakaji groaned as he exited the room
"Alright, answer me! What do you want with me" Kasumi shouted desperately wanting to know what they want
"Please don't be angry, Kasumi-sama, this is really something you must abide with" Gotu said trying to calm her down as he started to explain.
"Me and Hakaji-sama are also from Onisato. Our home which was unforgivingly destroyed by insolent humans. Our people tried everything they could to defend our beloved village but there were too many of them. My family died during that war" he seriously talked
"I'm so sorry" Kasumi said giving him a little bit of sympathy
"One of the bravest men I saw was the great demon lord Kaji along with his wife, lady Hana" Gotu continued
Kasumi calmed down and listened.
"Still those humans were too much. That's why, the demon lord had no choice, he and Lady Hana had to seal the demon village in order to protect their own children" he stopped
"Ch—children? What do you mean by that! I thought I was an only child! Answer me!" Kasumi shouted
"Before you, a boy was born. His father taught him everything he knew. That boy became a great future for Onisato, and even though his little sister was chosen to be the next ruler, he stood beside her, took care of her, and loved her" the old man sighed
"But when the said incident happened. That little girl was taken away from the village to safety. The boy had to fight beside his parents, I was able to save boy before the sealing took place. After that, there was never a day I would see him not training by himself. His goal, to once more be with his sister and restore Onisato to it's rightfull place"
Gotu looked at her and held her hands as he continued..
"You were that little girl, Kasumi, and that brave boy was Hakaji" he spoke
"You mean" Kasumi spoke nervously
"Yes, your elder brother, is Hakaji, Hakaji Houseki" Gotu answered
Kasumi gasped shocked of just knowing that she wasn't alone in the world after all, and that he had an elder brother.
"No, y---you're lying. I went through akkimanako. My demon form never told me that I had a brother. And even if Hakaji is my brother, why did he try to kill us!?" Kasumi shouted
"Please!"Gotu sighed "It was suppose to be for you to find that out. And more importantly, Hakaji-sama was never trying to kill you. It was never his intention to hurt you at all. He was just trying to separate you from them. Haven't you noticed? When you were in so much pain, he wanted to retreat because he doesn't want you to get hurt" Gotu explained
"Then, what's the reason for that pain?" she questioned
"The necklace you are wearing is actually an emblem from Onisato. Purposely sold and given to you. That emblem sensed your brother's presence, but knowing that you were fighting against him, it reacts resulting you to feel pain, telling you to stop" Gotu explained
"Now that I'm here, what does he plan on doing with me?" Kasumi asked
Gotu just looked away and left the room "You'll find out soon enough but for know you must rest and so must know, your brother cares about you, so much" He said closing the door.
He was my brother all along no wonder I kept feeling like he's a part of me but I still think I shouldn't be with them, where are you Deidara? Kasumi whispered
Meanwhile.......
Several of Zetsu's plants and Deidara's little clay creatures were patrolling all around to find any clues that might lead to where Kasumi could be.
All of them were waiting patiently outside the akatsuki base.
"I can't believe. I let him capture Kasumi so easily" Konan groaned
"It's not you fault, Konan-chan, Hakaji was really strong, I don't think any one of us could've stop him alone" Tobi said trying to stop Konan from beating herself up with words
Deidara just stood there seriously, waiting...
After a few more minutes, one of his clay birds returned with a small strap of cloth.
Deidara looked at it closely.
"Let me see." Itachi spoke.
Deidara gave it to him "This is a piece of fabric from what Gotu was wearing, I remember it from the fight" he confirmed
"Really, un" Deidara added
"Excellent" Zetsu said as he fed it to one of his plants, then the plant started to extend leading to the forest. "We've got a match" Zetsu grinned
"Alright, let's go, un" Deidara spoke as all of them began to head to the forest following the plant trail
Just wait Kasumi, we'll come and save you, I promise, just wait a little longer Deidara whispered to himself hoping that Kasumi could hear him.
