"Hey come on! Put me down! This isn't funny!" Mayumi cried out loudly while Suigetsu laughed and Sasuke shook his head.
The blue haired female was currently tossed over Mr. Tiny Pervert's shoulder as they walked. Oh she would have liked to kill him… Or at least steal his water bottle. What was so great about his water bottle anyways? Was it secretly filled with the world's greatest lemonade in the world and Suigetsu just didn't want to share, or was he just a very thirsty man?
"Oh come on Shorty, it's not like you don't like the view from there anyways!"
Mayumi narrowed her eyes and stared straight ahead muttering, "I'm pretty sure it's the other way around…"
"Damn right!" Suigetsu laughed like the pervert that he was.
Well this was just perfect, she was perched up on the pervert's shoulder and the only she knew was that the route that were walking on currently looked extremely familiar… In fact, it was so familiar that she could see Naruto, a bunny, a boy/girl person, and a large scary looking man. Oh wait a minute that was Haku and Zabuza… Her eyes went wide and stared straight ahead as they stopped walking.
"What's up Sasuke?" Suigetsu asked looking over and putting the female down.
His gazed was locked on at the entrance of a rather long bridge. Mayumi turned her eyes up in at the that held him so transfixed and she couldn't help but smile.
"Great Naruto Bridge…" She whispered, her grin widened when she heard Sasuke grunt.
"What's up with you two?" Suigetsu questioned, looking back and forth between them.
"It's nothing, come on."
After a little bit more walking they came to a stop once more. They were at a small clearing, the grass had grown long over the years and had clearly been untouched since the squad from Konoha had left. There were two graves, side by side. One had a sash around in while the other had a large sword protruding from the ground.
"I'm amazed it's somewhere like this," Suigetsu said, walking forward and taking hold of the sward handle, "Zabuza-sempai this is mine now."
Mayumi started to protest against him taking the sword, but forced her mouth shut, hoping that Sasuke would speak up. He too had to remember all the persisting that Sakura had done while they placed the items around the graves. But if he did he didn't speak up and simply watched as the white haired male held the sword up high.
"It's heavy… The great beheading sword of the demon Zabuza, of the village bloody mist!"
"Think you can handle it yourself?" Sasuke questioned him.
Mayumi's eyes widened and she couldn't help but giggle, "That's what she said!"
Suigetsu ignored her comment and looked at the sword, "The swords of the seven swordsmen of the mist are passed down from generation to generation. And I started my training hoping to be one of those, so I might even be able to beat you with this. Anyway, if you're planning to recruit Juugo, I think this might come in handy."
Mayumi frowned, "Who's Juugo?"
Sasuke raised an eyebrow and hummed slightly as if telling him not likely.
"…Well then, let's go for the nearest one Sasuke."
*Hours of more freaking walking and now walking water, which by the way makes your feet wet :D*
"Mind if I ask you something?" Suigetsu asked, looking over at the Uchiha.
"Go for it."
"Why are you rounding people up?"
"I've got a certain plan I need to carry out," Sasuke explained, looking over at him. "One that can be accomplished more efficiently with a full platoon."
"So why me?" Suigetsu asked another freaking question. Really, was that the only thing he had to do?
"I've been planning for this ever since I came to Orochimaru. I picked you all out a long time ago."
Mayumi frowned, he was talking to him more than he talked to her with the whole time that she had been around him, and she was his teammate! Oh she'd get him back for this for sure.
"Heh…" Suigetsu smiled, "So why Karin? She's totally devoted to Orochimaru unlike us. She'd be the last person I'd go after, if I were you. I mean at least Mayumi here has a nice ass."
Mayumi blushed and dropped her mouth, "HEY!"
"Besides, Karin and I were both experimented on a lot, plus she's got a shitty attitude."
Sasuke was glaring at him now. But whether it was from his remark about Mayumi or Karin, Suigetsu was unsure.
"… I'll admit there are plenty of strong shinobi that I could've recruited easily, but she's got unique abilities. I need her."
"She is unique; I'll give her that…"
Now it was Mayumi's turn to glare.
Once inside of the hideout the prisoners started shouting about Sasuke killing Orochimaru and setting them free. While the males walked ahead Mayumi couldn't help but stare at them, every time she saw a child she couldn't help but feel her heart jump in her chest. She wanted nothing more than to stop and let them all out, but Sasuke would have none that. He had even growled at her when she took her jade jacket off and gave to a child whose clothes were falling apart. Of course Suigetsu, being the perv he was, had told her to give her tank top to the next kid who was poorly dressed which earned him a glare from of his companions.
Both males stopped walking causing the female to look up in shock.
"I knew it…"
A woman stood in front of them with her hand on her hip and she glared at them. One side of her bright red hair -almost a hot pink- was flat while the other was spiked. Mayumi glared at the slutty looking female whose shorts were far too short and her shirt was open at the bottom to show her stomach.
"You're alone Sasuke… So it's true then."
"What am I chopped liver?" Suigetsu spoke staring at his hands on his hips.
"What do you want?"
"Sasuke's got a proposition-"
"More like a prostitute…" Mayumi grumbled under her breath bitterly which thankfully no one heard.
"-for you. Can you take us to a room or something? I haven't walked in forever, I'm too tired to stand around while you talk."
"Hmph…" Karin huffed.
*In room*
"Come with me, Karin, I need you," Sasuke spoke.
"Huh?" Karin gasped her eyes wide behind her glasses. "Why should I go anywhere? I'm in charge of this place!"
"Orochimaru's out of the picture now."
"What are you gonna do with all the captives?"
"Suigetsu, go free all the prisoners," Sasuke told him.
"Heh… Still acting like the boss, eh…"
"Mayumi, go with him."
The blue haired female glared at him darkly, her arms crossed over her chest, "…"
Than without saying a word she walked from the room, any good humor or moods gone with the wind. And it was all thanks to the Karin girl. But the feeling was new to her, it was… Almost as if she jealous…
"Really so what we heard about Uchiha Sasuke taking Orochimaru down was true?" One of the prisoners asked as they approached them.
"Sure was," Suigetsu confirmed.
"What's gonna happen to us?"
"You get set free, duh!"
"Y-You mean it?"
"Yup, look at me, I'm free aren't I?"
Mayumi looked down at Suigetsu and then back at the prisoners. The only bright and clean color spotted was her jade jacket that a little boy was cuddled up in.
"But before I let you out, I need you guys to promise us something."
"Anything! You name it!"
"When you go home, spread the word. Tell everyone, Uchiha Sasuke killed Orochimaru and set us free. And that he's here to bring peace and safety to the whole world. Hehe…" And then he unlocked the gate that held them in.
The people ran past them quickly and cheered the name Uchiha repeatedly. However, when the small boy in green got out of the cage he stopped and smiled up at the girl who had given him warmth.
"My name is Jiro," he told her smiling. "Thank you for your jacket, I promise you'll find happiness someday miss."
Mayumi smiled softly as he ran off, and for some strange reason, she felt reassured as she watched the green disappear down the hall way. Perhaps there was a way for her to get past this strange feeling of hate she had towards this, Karin, after all.
"Uhhh are you gonna let him away?" Suigetsu questioned, standing up straight.
The blue haired girl frowned slightly and looked at him, "What do you mean?"
"Well he-"
The white haired male frowned as he watched her pat herself down, checking to see if she was missing anything. He however couldn't help but stare open mouthed when she lifted her shirt up and muttered under her breath about something not being gone. God, he'd have to do this more often.
"Kunai, check, bra, check, funny-looking-thing-that-I-just-decided-to-call-Phil, check, her-" Her lavender eyes grew wide as she ran down the hallway as fast as she could, "GIVE ME BACK MY HERSEYS BEFORE I MAKE YOU A SHE!"
