Blood is Blood Ch 16
It had been almost a year since Deidara had been turned. Pein had finally put his foot down and ordered the seme's to quiet their ukes or pay heavily for it. So far things seemed to be working. How the seme's managed it was beyond him. Still he was happy.
The family had stayed at its current number as it seemed anyone who was a werewolf or a vampire was staying hidden and well. Zabuza still scoured the earth for any and all potential threats or family recruits. However he wasn't able to detect the threat that lingered in the shadows outside of the mansion.
A figure crouched low to the ground, he watched with hawk like vision for anything that would give away the abnormalities of the household. His keen hearing told him he was alone. The mansion remained dark as if no one were home. He moved closer.
He stepped against the mansion placing his ear to the stucco walls. No sound came from within. He moved to a nearby window and pressed his ear to the glass. The sound he heard was distant but it sounded clear. The sound of soft music played on and on.
A flicker on the curtain from the inside suggested that there were candles lit. He could almost see the flames as they flicked against the darkness. Inside Pein and Konan danced against each other swaying to the music unaware they were being stalked.
The figure moved on down to the next set of windows. He again pressed his ear to the glass. He could hear a soft moan as something, most likely a headboard tapped softly against the wall. He smirked as he noted that the moans were of two males.
He moved along to the next set of windows and as luck would have it the window wasn't covered as well by the curtains. Inside he could see what looked like a parlor. The room was occupied by an older male and a girl or so he thought at first.
The older male pulled the smaller of the two against him and undid their shirt. Once the shirt was open the figure outside could clearly see that it was a male. He had long pretty brunette hair and delicate features making him a very attractive boy.
The figure moved on. He stepped around to the back of the mansion and was looking for the best way to get to the third floor. He had only now realized he was at the second floor windows. The first floor of the mansion was built into a mountain.
Therefore he had thought he was at the first floor. Now it made more sense to him that the headboard was in a bedroom on the second floor. He moved forward as he surveyed his options. He jumped lightly and scaled the wall to the third set of windows.
At the top of the roof was a set of four windows. He checked the latches and pulled one open. He figured this had to be an attic window and only hoped that no one was in it. He slipped inside and dropped to the floor in a low crouch.
He surveyed the room and found that it indeed was an attic. Boxes sat scattered with old furniture all around the room in no order of organization. He weaved his way quietly through the room to the door. Turning the knob softly he made his way down the stairs.
He came to a hallway that adorned doorways all the way down it on both sides. He listened carefully as he moved down it. Voices and soft noises could be heard every now and then. He stopped at a door and listened carefully.
"Tobi for the last time the answer is no. I don't want you to get hurt. I would be lost without you, you know that."
"Yes I do Zetsu, but why is it okay for Zabuza to go out and do it? Why is he expendable?"
"Zabuza has experience. He knows how to take care of himself."
"And I don't? Zetsu you once told me that I was one of the strongest smartest people you knew, so why then are you so afraid to let me help?"
"Because love, I am selfish. You are my reason to keep going, otherwise my life is meaningless."
The figure listened as the voices stopped. The sound of feet shuffling across the floor accompanied by the sound of a heavy passionate kiss wafted to his ears. He stepped back and moved further down the hall.
He once again stopped at a door to listen. "Tell me again how you managed this?"
"Ow, Itachi be careful. I told you I misjudged my distance. Ow, will you stop doing that?"
"I am still trying to figure out how someone as stealthy as you could misjudge distance, Kisame."
"Hey we all make mistakes. OW!! Damn Itachi, can you be anymore brutal? Don't answer that."
"Hn, I advise you stay away from trees. You're lucky the tree branch went through your arm and not your heart."
"Ha ha, very funny. It was a stupid mistake and I have no intentions of repeating it."
"Good I am not your nursemaid."
"No you're my lover it is the same thing. OW!!! Okay I am sorry."
The figure moved on. He had gotten enough information for his boss now he needed to get out of the mansion and back to report it. He made his way back to the attic and back out the window. He hurried off through the forest hell bent on beating the sunrise.
