Chapter 12 surveillance sucks and cemetery visit.

I crept onto the roof of a random shop with nothing to illuminate where I was going and where I was searching. We've massively lost time since it was late

afternoon when I fought my uncle and its now near midnight. I growled in annoyance.

"Suzume, keep your cool." Shikamaru grumbled into the headset. I growled at him.

"Sparrow." Sasori said in a warning tone. Puppet was surveying the north to southeast part of the city which is most forestry. Shikamaru took from southeast to southwest which was mostly the school and the training grounds. I took the rest which was residencies and shops. This job was too big for three people though and it was tir4ing me and the boys out big time. We were all a little antsy.

"Puppet." I whined. I was beyond annoyed. I wanted these dead or at least permanently dead. "You two have anything?"

"Nope."

"Nothing"

I growled again. My eyes were dry and irritating me from the surveillance in the dark. My body was sore. The fight with my uncle wore me out big time. My body was for sure facing fatigue. Part of me wanted the boys to find the zombies but I wanted them dead more. I stood up and gazed around me.

"You got anything, Sparrow?" Puppet asked.

"No." I groaned. "It's getting really late guys. We should head in. We look for them in the morning." I really hated backing away from things but all three of us were dead tired.

"Yeah, we'll regroup with some more people and start up again early morning." Shikamaru said. "Meet you two back at my house. Shika out." His radio connection went dead.

"You doing okay, Sparrow?" Sasori asked. "You need me to find you and carry you home?" He made it sound like a joke but I knew he was serious.

"Nah, I'm okay." I said.

"You sure?" He asked, now being serious.

"I love you. I'll see you back at the house." I said, turning off my headset. I knew that probably pissed him off but I wanted to do something by myself. Visit my father.

I ran all the way to the cemetery. I fell over on top of his grave onto my knees. "Hi, dad." I said. Naturally, there was no response but I keep talking to him. I use to come all the time before high school but then I came once a week. Neji barely came before. "It's been awhile huh? Well, a lot has happened. Neji and I moved to Rain for his job. That's why I haven't been around for a long time." The wind howled while I paused.

I continued. "My new school was full of gangsters and weirdoes that I was kinda felt really out of place there. At first I didn't know anyone and one of my male teachers was overly friendly my first day. But then I met some kids that were really friendly. So, really weirded out by them, I ran to find a music room. While I was playing this red head came and scared me to run out of the room. No one still knows about my music really. As I found out later that day, I left my music there." I continued telling him about the day Sasori and started being together and everything that happened. It was like an hour later, that I stopped talking. "Well, I gotta go, dad. Sasori will be getting worried about me soon so I should get back to him. You'd like him too. Well, good night, I'll come back soon."

I stood up went smack dab into something that wasn't a tree. I fell back onto my dad's grave. I looked up at who I ran into, hopeful it was Sasori but no, it wasn't. I looked up at the zombies of the Akatsuki, Kakuzu and Hidan.

"Hello, Suzume." Kakuzu said. An evil look was on his face, like he had something evil planned.

"Long time, no see." Hidan snarled at me. He looked like he hated me.

My eyes grew wide in fear. First time I felt fear for myself. I tried to run away but Hidan grabbed my arms and yanked me back. "Not so fast. We have a plan for you with Akatsuki but, first, we're going to have some fun." He said and I knew exactly what he meant. I started to scream.

A/u dun-dun-dun! ENJOY!
