Chapter 6

Unexpected Rescue

I saw Iansha's worried expression. All around her was everyone that I knew, from my world and this new one. They were all looking at me worried. I don't know why though. Haru looked very worried and frantic, and Kakashi looked really sad as he looked back and forth, as if trying to find something. Why were they all so worried?

"This is her?" I could hear a dull voice in the background. I started to blink a few times as I slowly opened my eyes.

"Hai. We were able to retrieve her without difficulty." That voice sounded familiar. I opened my eyes to a dark room. I could just faintly see a couple of people in black robes with red clouds. The one closest to me finally notice that I was awake.

"Awake are we?" His voice was dark and sinister. It made a shiver go down my spine. I noticed that I was lying on a table with all my weapons stripped from me. I sat up slowly and peered around. "So you're the one?" He asked me as if I knew what he was talking about. I looked at him confused. "You're the one who can see images of us?" I froze at the words. He knew?

"What?" I asked through my grogginess. I continued my gaze around the room trying to figure out who was in here. My gaze landed on someone in the back with red eyes. I shivered as I looked at them. Wait… My eyes widened as the images started.

Images of that person swept by me. He was watching the young Sasuke that was in search of his parents in a burning town. Wait, he was the one who did all that to the place. His name was… I know now. I watched young Sasuke stare at him with fear, he was Sasuke's older brother? But how…

"What's with you?" A sharp voice brought me back to the dark room. The man was holding my chin and when he saw me blink he violently threw my head away from his view. I fell off the table. I rubbed my neck as I stood back up staring at the man with the red eyes. He followed my gaze, "Do you know his name?" He asked in a harsh voice. I shook my head knowing that telling them anything would do me no good. If I told them anything that I saw, I know it would hurt this world.

"Do you really think she is from another world?" A harsh voice came from another man somewhere in the shadows.

"She has to be." He picked me up by the arm and sat me back down on the table and glared at me. "What do you see?"

"I don't know." I said in a hushed voice. I wasn't lying when I said this because it was true. I had no idea what I saw; the images just came to me.

"We'll be nice to you if you comply. Now, what do you see?" He stared at me with hateful eyes.

"I don't know." I said a little louder. He slapped me hard and I placed my hand on my stinging cheek.

"If you're not going to comply then…" He turned and smirked at the men behind him. "Play around with her till she does." He stepped back as a couple men snickered as they approached me.

One pushed me down violently and another strapped me down. I struggled but froze when I saw one draw a knife. He made a little cut on my cheek and smiled at me. I winced at the slight pain.

"Are you sure you don't know?" I looked back at the other man.

"I told you, I don't know!" I yelled.

His eyes narrowed at me. He walked over and punched my face. He walked out quite angry. "Do whatever you want, just don't kill her." He said roughly before the door closed.

They had their fun with me. They beat me to the point where consciousness was barely graspable. When they were bored they left me to bleed. I was so weak from the lack of food. I don't even know how long I had been here. This was a daily procedure for me now. They would come a couple times a day and ask the same question and my answer was always the same, then they would beat me. I had been here so long that I doubt that anyone was coming for me. My will to live has died.

"So will you comply?" He asked harshly.

"I don't know." I said weakly.

"Insolent!" He punched me and I winced slightly. "Let's go." He said harshly as he made his way to the door. The last to leave was that red eyed man.

"Uchiha Itachi." I said slowly. He stopped and turned around to face me.

"So you do know my name." He said in a bored tone. He walked slowly back towards me with slight interest. "Do you know who we are?" He stared blankly at me with his reds eyes.

I couldn't stop myself now. "Akatsuki." I said in a weak voice.

"Maybe you are of some use to us." He paused and looked at the door before looking back to me. "How do you know this?"

"I don't know." I said closing my eyes ready for another hit.

"Well then." I heard his footsteps and I opened my eyes and saw him leave. He didn't hit me?

"How is it going?" The first man to question me asked to one of the men.

"Not good, her answer is always the same." He paused and was a little hesitant. "We have been at it for week's sir; I don't think she is of any use."

"I see…" He paused, thinking.

"She might be." Itachi's voice broke the silence.

"How do you know?" He asked harshly.

"Just a thought." He said in a bored tone. The man nodded and returned his gaze to me.

He scowled before walking out. Everyone but Itachi was gone. My gaze drifted to him before I shut my eyes. I didn't have the strength to keep them open anymore. "Eat," he said in a hushed tone. I opened my eyes in time to see him pull some food from under his robe.

"Why are you helping me?" I asked weakly.

He unbound my hands. I struggled to get to a sitting position. A wave of dizziness hit me and it took everything to keep myself from falling back. I accepted the food. It didn't matter at this point whether it as poison or not. I ate slowly, every bite hurting. At some point, my jaw had been dislocated.

"Hurry up," his voice seemingly annoyed. I looked up with surprise. What was going on?

"What…" I started but was cut off.

"Don't speak." He looked at the door briefly before snatching the remaining bread away. He grabbed my arm and threw me over his shoulder. Before I knew it, I had to shade my eyes from the sun. "Run," he ordered. He set me down and I staggered into a tree. I looked back to where he was but he had already disappeared.

He had said run, but I hadn't the strength to move. I closed my eyes as sleep tried to take control. I shook my head a little and started walking. I didn't even know where I was but I figured any direction would work. I don't know how far I got before everything became black.

I could faintly hear something in the background. It must be the men coming in to beat me again.

"Wake up," I heard someone say. But I can't even open my eyes. Can't I just lay here and die? "Rekisuu please wake up." Wait did they just say my name? I forced my eyes to open. My eyes could barely focus. I blinked several times. "That's right, stay with me." That voice, was it…?

"Haru," I asked weakly. My eyes came into focus on his face. It looked like he was about to cry. He pulled me into a tight hug. "Ow," I coughed out. Blood sprayed onto his back.

"I'm sorry." He released me. He examined the blood trickling from my mouth before wiping it away. "Let's go home." I smiled in agreement. I saw the concern in his eyes as he picked me up. He held me close as he jumped to a tree. The sudden jolt made me cough up more blood. "We'll do this quickly, but it may hurt. Do you think you can bear with me?" I nodded my head. What was a little more pain at this point? I felt a sharp pain that made me wince. I looked up but the wind was stinging my eyes.

"Haru what is…" I coughed again before I could finish.

"It's a way to make me run faster. Just hold on for a little while." I nodded as I closed my eyes.

I slowly opened my eyes when the pain subsided. It was dark out with the stars shining. I had no idea where we were. I know it was probably about a couple days to get back to Konoha.

"Haru, where are we?" I asked a little sleepy.

"We're home." He said in a slightly tired voice.

"You there." A commanding voice came from the trees.

"Easy guys it's me, Haru."

"Haru?" The anbu team jumped to the ground to get a better look. "So the mission was a success?" He looked at me in his arms.

"Hai." He gave a faint smile as he lowered me to the ground.

"How is she?" He examined me slightly.

"She requires medical treatment, along with lots of rest." He said as he slumped down next to me. He smiled at me and I did my best to smile back.

Damn this hospital, and its disgusting food. I sat silently as the meal in front of me was taken away. I wasn't about to eat that crud. It had been a couple of long days and today was the day that they were going to allow visitors. I was starting to feel slightly better. Apparently my wounds were that serious. They said the blood was just a fluke, my lungs were just fine. None of my broken ribs had hit a lung. In a couple of days I could go. They just kept me so I could rest up. The door opened quickly and I heard it shut. It was most likely Haru checking up on me again.

"I told you that I'm fine." I said as I started to look up.

"Rekisuu…" I looked up at Kakashi who had a worried expression. He was quickly in front of me holding me tight.

"Kakashi?" I asked in a quiet voice. His tight hug was hurting me. "You're hurting me." I said in a pained voice.

"I'm sorry." He didn't let go but he did loosen his grip. "You shouldn't have had to go through that." He said in a regretful voice.

"Kakashi, it wasn't your fault." I said as I pulled away to look at him. He stayed quiet looking down at me. "Besides…you were right." I sighed looking away from his dull coal colored eye.

"Rekisuu?" Haru opened the door and stared at Kakashi for a second before turning his gaze on me. "Did I come at a bad time?" I looked up and smiled at him.

"No, it's ok. We were just talking." Kakashi looked at the two of us.

"I see." He looked back at me with his eye curling up.

"What?" I asked a little confused.

"This is why…" Thump. Kakashi sent me a glare as he rubbed his head.

"Kakashi this is Haru." I walked over to him and gave him a pat on the back. As I passed I whispered into his ear, "Don't believe anything he says." I continued out the door and down the hallway. I'll let the guys be guys.

Home sweet home! I flopped down on my familiar bed and snuggled into it. I knew that I would be visited by tons of people if I stayed in the hospital. There would be no sleeping there. I closed my eyes and snuggled down further into my bed.

"You alright?" Aimi seemed guilty.

"Where were you when I needed you?" I asked harshly as I buried my head into my pillow.

"I'm sorry. I was preoccupied with other matters."

"Whatever just leave me alone for now."

"Don't be rude about it." She said in a harsh manner.

"I wasn't trying to." I sighed.

I sat down on a branch as practice ended. Right now I could care less about anything, I just wanted to rest.

"I'll see you then." Ebisu gave a wave before he disappeared. Finally the guy leaves! I smiled to myself at the thought.

"You seem tired today." Kakashi landed into the clearing. I sighed as I jumped over to him.

"So what, it's not like you were doing anything hard." I said harshly.

"I have to train three Genins that don't get along." He stated.

"Oh, so hard." I said in exaggeration.

"It's not as easy as you think." He glared.

"At least this life is somewhat easier than back home." I said quietly.

"Really?" He looked at me with suspicion. "Is where you lived fighting wars all the time?"

"Sometimes."

"I somehow doubt that." He narrowed his eye slightly.

"Don't talk like you know everything." I hated when he did that.

"Well maybe I do." He said is a low voice.

"Listen you." I pointed my finger at him with a glare. "You wouldn't be able to survive one day in my shoes." I brought my hands to my side and clenched them. No one could live with the guilt that I feel. "You don't know anything about me."

"You think that you can survive here on your own?" He said in a slightly harsh manner.

"How would you know!" I said harshly turning and quickly running away.

Haru's Pov

I landed not far off from the clearing that Rekisuu and Kakashi were standing in. I didn't want to intrude at first so I waited a little before I jumped to the ground. I started to slowly walk over to the two when Rekisuu turned and started running.

"Rekisuu?" I asked as she ran by. I caught a glimpse of something sparkling from her face as she past. She was… but why? She was quickly gone, disappearing into the trees.

"Haru?" Kakashi looked at me with confusion.

"What's your problem!" I said harshly glaring at him.

"What are you talking about?" He said dully as if nothing was wrong. "You don't know what we were talking about." I narrowed my eyes as I concentrated chakra into my feet. I took off and ran into him placing my arm against his chest and ramming him into a tree with enough force to make it splinter.

"How could you make a women cry?" I pressed harder onto his chest as his slight look of surprise quickly vanished as if he had expected me to do that.

"She was…" He paused for a second looking away. "Crying?" He turned his gaze back to me.

"Baka! How could you not realize it?" I said roughly. I pushed him harder into the tree till he winced. I then stepped back letting him come down.

"I better go find her."

"Don't you think you have done enough to her?" I asked in a calmer tone. He looked at me with question. "I see her cry the most because…" I stopped. This wasn't going to be easy for him to hear.

"Because?"

"Because of you." I said slowly. He seemed to freeze at my words.

His dull eye told me nothing of what he was feeling. He looked down sighing slightly. I was aware that he wasn't expecting this. He then disappeared, most likely looking for Rekisuu.

Rekisuu's Pov

I ran quickly through the village, being careful to not run into anyone I knew. I had no places to hide here anymore. The only way to be alone was if I left the village. The Hokage said that I shouldn't leave for a little while because of the risk of the Akatsuki still being near-by, but I didn't care right now. I was just to upset with that man. He knew nothing. I blinked back a few tears that were trying to escape.

I was coming into range of the exit of the village and I started to pick up speed. I had to make it by without hesitation because I can't afford to have someone stop me. I was almost there now. I could see the confused look of the guard as I passed. Just a few more steps and I would be free.

As I was about to stepped out of the village, a sudden puff of smoke appeared in front of me. At my speed, and lack of ability, I wasn't able to stop myself and I rammed right into Kakashi. He grasped my shoulders on impact and took a slight step back as we skidded to a stop. I struggled in his grasp and looked over his shoulder longingly at the freedom that was before me.

"Rekisuu!" Kakashi gripped my shoulders tighter to prevent me from escaping.

"Let go." I struggled harder. A puff of smoke and then I found myself on the mountain.

"Rekisuu, I…" His voice was a bit sad.

"Let go!" I said again struggling more. I could feel tears building in my eyes. "Just let me go." I stopped my struggle and fell loose in his grasp. He lowered me to the ground and kneeled in front of me.

"I'm sorry." Right now, I couldn't deal with him, not with anything. I just wanted to be gone, out of his life, out of this world.

"Why'd you stop me?" I asked turning to look at the town. I wiped the tears with the back of my hand.

"Because…" I turned and looked at him with his pause. He didn't meet my gaze. "I didn't want to lose you too."

"Too?" I looked at him with confusion. Who else could he have lost? He closed his eye and solemnly nodded his head. "Who?"

He sighed and took a breath, "Aimi." I looked at him with surprised. Aimi?

"Aimi? You know Kakashi?'" I just hope that she head me.

"Hai." She said in a solemn tone.

So here are my next three chapters. I have to do some major editing on the next bunch of chapters, but hpefully I'll get them out soon. Reviews are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
