NEW WARNING!!!
Yuri is in the following chapters. It's only because I felt like putting it in. This is just me. Sorry if some of you don't like Yuri but if you don't like it, I don't' know what to tell you.
Quick recap of what had happened last chapter…
Naruto knit his eyebrows in confusion. "What are you?"
The shadow smirked showing off his white sharp fang teeth. "Why do you want to know, Naruto-kun?"
Naruto watched as the shadow emerged from the shadows slowly. The first thing he saw was the black trench coat the swirled around his legs as he walked. Of course, if he was even touching the ground, it wouldn't be floating around his feet. Naruto's eyes widened when he noticed the pale skin Masashi had. He looked up noticing the white dress shirt he wore under his black trench coat and the violet hair the man had that reached the end of his ears.
"I'm nothing but the darkness in the corner of a child's room."
Sasuke was currently in Jenispherdra, kneeling before an angry Pein.
"Pein." Sasuke started in a weak voice. "I didn't know what to do."
"You could've just stayed with him!" Pein shouted quickly after, startling Sasuke and Naruto's sensei in the corner. "You had no right to just leave him! How could you even manage something like that?!" Pein stood from his chair and paced back and forth in front of Sasuke to the other side of the wall to the balcony on the other side of the room.
Sasuke's head hung low as he was longing for a purpose to speak without being interrupted.
"Sasuke." Pein mumbled in disappoint. "Do you realize how big this is? You could've just gave away our secret to the humans! They could be tearing Naruto limb from limb right now!"
Sasuke flinched at that. He didn't want to even imagine Naruto being in so much pain he was actually wishing for death.
"Ca-"
"No!" Pein interrupted again. "I don't want to hear it!
"If you let me explain a little, I would be able to tell you!" Sasuke snapped back in a yell, his voice shaking a near by ruby floating on a pedestal.
Pein glared at the younger angel. They went on like this, tension in the air and both glaring heatedly at each other. Pein's Jenispherdra mark was starting o show up and the tint of red Sasuke had in his eyes was a sign that he was getting his Konan mark as well.
Kakashi chuckled nervously trying to bring down the tension in the room. "Well, I say you listen to Sasuke for a minute, Pein-sama." Kakashi sensei said. Feeling the glare hit him instantly, he sighed in defeat. "Or you could not do anything about it. Just leave Naruto-kun to die where ever he is."
Pein's memory snapped back to Naruto's whereabouts. "Kakashi. Get Kyuubi and his new partner to head to Konoha and find Naruto. It's their first mission together."
"Kyuubi got a partner?" Sasuke asked. "My brother's going to be crushed. You can't do that!"
"Sasuke. It's okay. They're just partners. The spell over them had been broken." Pein said, trying to hold most of his anger out of his voice by the previous fight with the raven. "They won't be able to form a spark of any feelings but brotherly and sisterly between one another."
"I'll get right on that." Kakashi sensei said, walking towards the exit. "Don't kill him and if you put a scratch on his head, remember that I'm his sensei and is held to the responsibilities." Kakashi reminded the leader before walking out.
Pein sighed.
There was silence between them for a good minute, Sasuke thinking whether he was to speak or he was to stay quiet until Pein finished his own thoughts.
"What is it, Sasuke? What do you want to tell me?" Pein asked, turning his full attention back to Sasuke.
Sasuke waited for a moment, thinking over his statement. "This has a lot to do with what happened." Sasuke said. "All I know is that Naruto saw me kissing Neji and he ran. When I saw him next, he was falling from the sky. I caught him and brought him to the ground. When I saw him there, lying motionless… I panicked and thought it was all my fault. It is all my fault." Sasuke hung his head and fell forward, placing his hands on his knees to hold him up, tears threatening to leak from his eyes. His heart was beating rapidly and his breathing was short and heavily. He hiccupped once before looking up at Pein with watery eyes. "I shouldn't have just left him there but I didn't know what I was supposed to do. I could not fly with my dislocated shoulder and Naruto would not wake up. I didn't know what to do." Sasuke was speaking quietly and Pein was watching the angel break down in front of him, helplessly.
He had a strong connection with Sasuke and he knew it. The angel was glad that he didn't kill him but now, he was almost having second thoughts about bringing him back because of the mistake he made.
"I'm so sorry, Pein-sama." Sasuke said. "If things don't go well, I want you to take my wings and life."
Pein was almost shocked when he heard the raven say that but he knew that Sasuke had a heart and would give anything to Jenispherdra, including his life.
"Sasuke." Pein said. "It's okay now. I'll fix everything. You just focus on helping Kyuubi and Tella find your partner." Pein walked back to his chair and sat down. He slid up a panel and revealed buttons of red, orange, baby blue and one back button at the bottom. He pushed the baby blue button and a panel on the floor right in front of his chair where his feet rested opened. A large clear ball came out of the floor and placed itself between Pein's legs.
Sasuke watched in curiosity and awe. He had been told about Pein's crystal ball a million of times but he never thought he would be able to watch the leader use it before.
"Sasuke. Come here." Pein said, waving the young angel over.
Sasuke stood and walked slowly and carefully up to Pein and stood on the opposite side of the clear ball.
Pein reached forward and place a hand on the top of it. A faint blue light began to show in the middle of it. Sasuke stared at the light expecting something he knew was going to happen.
Pein looked up at Sasuke away from the ball and took Sasuke's hand with his free hand placing it on the crystal ball. The light in the middle turned into a dark glow of black causing Sasuke's eyes to go wide.
"What is that Chakra?" Sasuke asked quietly.
"It's yours reacting with mine." Pein answered. "There is a Chakra flow coming out of our bodies at all times. That's why whenever we're around other angels, we're able to tell which one in Konoha is an angel. When you walk by Naruto in the hallway of school, can you pick him out of everyone else with your eyes closed?"
Sasuke hesitated in thought but nodded a second later.
"This is yours and my Chakra mixing. The Chakra coming out of the palm of your hand is slowly forming in the middle of the crystal ball after it had absorbed it." Pein explained. "Once the ball is full, it will show us what we wish to see."
Sasuke's mind flowed with thoughts. He wanted to see many things but the number one thing was he wanted to see if Naruto was alright.
The crystal ball filled and filled until the sides were all filled in. Pein pulled his hand away, Sasuke keeping his there.
"Sasuke." Pein said. "Think of what you want to see."
Sasuke stared into the crystal ball thinking the same thing over again; "I want to see Naruto." There was a silent echo in the crystal ball repeating the demand as if someone was controlling the ball and needed to be told what to do.
Sasuke heard this but Pein did not. It wasn't his question to ask and hear.
Suddenly, an area inside the crystal ball started to clear showing a picture Sasuke couldn't make out quite yet. He got a little closer, squinting his eyes trying to see the small picture. The picture grew quickly and used the whole ball to show the full picture.
Sasuke's eyes widened as he watched Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki sitting up in a bed, a man on the side smirking at him, their mouths moving separately but no sound coming out to show for the movement.
Pein looked at the picture inspecting the whole area of the room Naruto was in. He didn't see any lad equipment and other people in the room other than Naruto and the man. Then, something caught his eye he wished wasn't there. Staring deeply into red eyes, he stood and backed away from the crystal ball. The eyes of the man changed to where the spying point the crystal ball was using and the man smirked.
Sasuke's eyes widened as the mans hands began to burn. Sasuke looked at Pein who was still stunned. "What do I do?!" Sasuke was freaking out in his head. Should he remove his hand from the crystal ball and go to Pein or should he stay there? He had no clue what to do.
"SASUKE! LET GO!" Pein yelled.
Sasuke complied right away and jumped to Pein's side. The vision of the crystal ball was engulfed in flames and the vision when clear after a moment more.
Pein was breathing normally but his eyes were wide and still surprised.
Sasuke's breath was heavy and his eyes were wide as well with question and shock. "W-What just happened?"
"Vampire." Pein said, grinding his teeth together.
"Vampire?"
"A FUCKING VAMPIRE FOUND NARUTO!" Pein yelled walking forward. He paced back and forth again through the same spots as before. When he paced back and forth twice and was at the wall, he extended his arm quickly and punched a hole right through the wall.
Sasuke watched in helplessness as he was confused on what to do for the thousandth time that day. "P-Pein? Can you tell me what a Vampire is?"
"You know the stories about Vampires." Pein said. "Well, all are true but the ones about them only killing humans and sleeping in dame coffins. The out in the daylight thing is partly true. They just can't be out in shinning daylight. Doesn't mean they can't be in cloud cover or shade." Pein pulled his arm away from the hole and backed away before turning and pacing again. "They bray on mostly humans but they some times go after animals. Those Vampires that pray on human are not our friends. They have been getting stronger since the day they were born with us as we are but they have also been getting braver. Four Vampire bites on four different angels have been reported and they all have died from the poison. The only one reported to be alive is our newest angel."
"Newest angel?" Sasuke asked himself in thought. He let Pein continue and decided to just ask that question later when they weren't in such a problematic situation.
"They claim to be running out of food in their area we have decided on and been moving further into Konoha and Jenispherdra territory. If this continues, and we've already told them this, we'll have to use force against them." Pein said. "Maybe even start a war between the two beings."
Sasuke watched Pein carefully. "H-He... He couldn't s-start a war when another is already so important to win... R-Right?" Sasuke thought.
"I don't want that for my angels but its looking like that's going to happen at this rate."
Sasuke lowered his head. He didn't want that either. No more death was one of his wishes that would happen already. He's lost enough important people as it is.
Pein took in a deep breath and sighed it out. "Vampire's are to dangerous to be handling on your own, Sasuke." Pein said. Sasuke looked up in question. Did that mean...? "And your the only one who has the ability and a clue of where Naruto might be." It does mean... "You saw the tree in the window, right?"
It does. Sasuke nodded urgently.
"Then I trust you to be team leader of the temporary team I'm assigning you." Pein said, smiling slightly. "They will be here in a min-"
"Pein-sama!" A woman yelled, opening the door and running into the room. "The three are here."
Pein nodded. "They're here now." Pein said to Sasuke.
Sasuke smiled and nodded. "I promise to keep a good eye on everyone."
Pein nodded. "You better. I trust you."
Sasuke didn't waste a minute before standing and racing out of the double doors into the hallway.
"Ittai nan da?!" Naruto yelled in shock. (What the hell)!
The wall was in flames but it wasn't burning. It was merely holding the flames keeping them alive.
Masashi chuckled darkly. "Someone was sneaking a peek at us." He said as if punishing a small child.
Naruto's eyes widened. "Pein-sama." He thought.
"I guess it would have to be Pein, huh? I mean, that only makes sense. Looking after his angels as always." Masashi said. "I guess I'll have to let you go. I don't have any use for you. I was just being sure to get that creature out of you before you died of poisoning. The little buggered doesn't know when to just stop it."
Masashi was rather frightening if you befriended someone like him. He seemed to think that many of things were amusing to him even though they scare or maybe even petrify others.
Masashi sighed out a long breath and looked at Naruto. "It's a bright day. I can't go outside so I'm just going to let you go out on your own, if that's alright with you."
Naruto stared at the man. It was hard to see a guy like Masashi letting him go so freely. Someone must be after him or he must know that Pein's angel's are after him... Or so, that's Naruto's guesses. He could want something.
"I want you to come and see me some time though." Masashi said. "Every two weeks for a year, I want you to come and see me down in the forest to the east of Konoha at ten. Deal?"
Naruto thought for a minute. "I have things to do on Wednesday nights. Is it alright if we change it to Tuesday?"
Masashi laughed lightly and nodded. "Sure. Anything to fit your schedule."
"And. I have a condition." Naruto said. He was smarter than everyone put him out to be. "I won't get hurt or even battled while we're out there, alright? When I'm in Konoha on ground, I don't plan to fight anyone. When I'm in the air, that's a different thing completely."
Masashi nodded, a grin on his face. "Agreed. I won't take anyone there with us that will plan to hurt you in anyway, Naruto-kun."
Naruto stared warily at the violet haired boy before sliding his legs onto the floor. He realized that he didn't have any shoes on and he also noticed that he was way shorter than Masashi.
"Your shoes are by the door." Masashi said. "And yes, I know I'm very tall."
Naruto chuckled slightly, letting Masashi hear that bell he was looking for. "I'll see you next Tuesday then."
Masashi nodded as the blonde left the room and out of the house. Masashi's eyes widened for a second before he melted back into the corner. He'll let the blonde find out on his own.
Naruto looked around the forest and sighed. He was on the eastern side of Konoha.
He had no clue how to get back to Konoha through the forest without having a good look around the area he was working with. Deciding to just go to Jenispherdra, he stripped from his shirt. He noticed that the wraps around his stomach and some parts of his ribs were covering over his wings and therefore, he couldn't fly without taking them off. He began unraveling them and re-wrapped around his stomach and ribs under his wings this time. With the straps and shirt in hand, he flew into the air. He felt the small but sharp pain in his wings but he ignored them as anyone would.
It wasn't that big of a deal. A little pain is nothing knew.
Sasuke flew down from Jenispherdra, his three other temporary teammates behind him.
He looked behind him to make sure that none of them were falling behind and none of them were.
He stopped automatically once he saw something fly above could level.
The red head pointed to the side of them about twenty meters away to a small brick and wood house. "There." He said simply.
Sasuke nodded, totally forgetting the thing that caught his attention earlier. He was sure that it was just a bird or something like that.
Sasuke landed in front of the house, the three standing beside him and he walked up pressing an ear to the door. He heard nothing at all. He pulled his head away and looked around.
"Maybe we have the wrong house." The other raven said.
"No." Sasuke said. "I'm positive this is the right house." Sasuke walked around the corner and saw the tree he saw in the window when looking through the crystal ball. He smirked to himself for not being wrong but whipped it off his face, afraid that one of his teammates might see it and become offended. "I saw this tree when I was with Pein looking through the crystal ball. I noticed it through this exact window."
It was silent for a minute, all listening for any trace of sound coming from inside the house. "What are the orders, Sasuke-san?"
Sasuke hesitated in thought of instructions for his team. "Haku." Sasuke said. The dark longhaired brunette gave his full attention to the raven speaking. "Go to the front door and break it down when I give you the signal. Sai." The black haired boy with onyx eyes looked at Sasuke showing him his own attention. "You are Haku's back up. The little we know about Vampires limits us to taking risks. All we know is that they are unpredictable and have unbelievable speed. Gaara." The red head with green eyes listened with an emotionless face as he was given orders. "You are my back up."
They all nodded their yes's.
"Go." Haku and Sai went to their position in front of the house while Gaara took a position on the other side of the window as Sasuke.
Sasuke turns on his wacky talkies and turns it to the right station. "Haku?"
"Roger."
Sasuke then nodded to Gaara who gave a look of readiness to Sasuke.
"Go."
Let's see what happens with Sasuke, Gaara, Haku and Sai in the next chapter and let's see what happens to Naruto when he gets to Jenispherdra... And what did Masashi remember that he would just let Naruto find out on his own?
I wonder...
Love,
Vixie795!!
