Author's Note: Thank you guys all so much for the brilliant support you've given me on this! For that, I'm aiming to make this chapter 10,000 words long! Yep, you heard me! It'll most probably get a bit confusing but damn it, I shall try for you guys! It can't be that bad though, it only took me 6 hours to 5000 so if I double it, it'll only take me twelve hours (if I have no breaks and naps in between) So, here I go!
Disclaimer: I own everything to do with Naruto for this evening! *waves around ownership papers* YES! *papers get blown away by gust of wind and land back with Misashi* NUU! D: I don't own him then *sigh* Juura and K2 are owned by Juura99 whilst Gary shall forever remain fighting in WWII for Fullmetal Gary. God times, good times!
Warnings: Well =w= heh. Some more SasuNaru (It's progressing :D) More drug experiments by Orochimaru. Monologue-ing villains, swearing, violence and just for this chapter...fuck loads of blood and gore! :D It may be written badly because I'm not that well. Even so, the rating for this chapter is going up to an 'M' for that part. I'll put a little '~*~' before it goes to it just in case you don't like that stuff! Well, HERE WE GO!
Chapter 6
The hospital wasn't that busy at the time when they were brought in, a result being that they were seen to immediately. Apart from a collapsed lung and a broken arm- the worst cases- everyone was fine and escaped without much damage. Kamari sat by his brother's bed, looking at his twin as he slept onwards, arm in a sling on top of the bed sheets. He then glanced to Gary's bed which was next to his brother's. When the two were both awake, the air had shifted from depressed into awkward and guilty. Kamari had obviously tried to press his brother to tell him what had happened, the result being an angry Kaoru yelling at him, and so Kamari had fell silent.
Sasuke had been to visit Iruka along with Kakashi. Sasuke demanded to know where Naruto was, the end result was Iruka breaking down into tears after saying that he hadn't returned after he had been sent out to go get the milk for tomorrows porridge. The raven had paled after that and left the room, not wanting to know what had happened. Kakashi stayed with the brunet with an arm around his shoulder as the man tried to calm himself down. He looked devastated, brown eyes worn and bloodshot. The Orphanage had been bombed and its longest term resident had gone missing all within the space of three hours. Kakashi had been refusing to face it before but now he realised it was true.
There was now an outright war between them and Orochimaru.
The bombing had been the starting point, the hammer that hit the trigger. It was going too far. People could overlook a few disappearances around the area but to go as far as to destroy something that everyone held recognition to; it was a clear warning in Kakashi's eyes. Iruka had calmed himself slightly as he looked Kakashi in the eyes.
"What are we going to do now?" he whispered, hoping that the silver-haired man would have a solution. Coincidentally, he did. He gently rubbed Iruka's shoulders and smiled at the man.
"We have space at our place. Everyone can move into there." He supplied. Iruka's head snapped up and eternal gratitude swam in brown irises that seemed to tear up. He threw his arms around Kakashi's neck and pulled him in for a forceful hug. Kakashi blushed slightly at the contact but gently wrapped his arms around the brunet.
Itachi sat in Sakura's room with Cassie, just observing the ceiling.
"96," Cassie breathed out. Sakura smirked and Itachi tisked.
"53" Sakura corrected. Itachi coughed and looked towards both girls.
"You are both incorrect, there are actually 44 separate bones in the human skull at birth," he corrected. Cassie huffed whilst Sakura grinned.
"I was closest!" she cheered. Itachi smiled at her which in turn made her blush slightly. The door creaked open slightly and in came Sasuke. Itachi stood up instantly when he saw his little brother's exhausted posture. His hair looked mussed and his clothes dishevelled.
"Otouto, what's wrong?" he asked, walking over to Sasuke. Sasuke just shook his head.
"Naruto's missing. He never came back from the shops before the- the bombing," he whispered. Itachi frowned at his little brother as he sat down in a vacated chair.
"So he was never in the orphanage when it happened?" he asked curiously. Sasuke shook his head.
"Apparently not. But he never came back either." He whispered. Itachi sighed before flipping out his mobile.
"I'll get Jiraiya on it," he told his little brother, hoping to put an end to his fried nerves.
It hurt to open his eyes. His head was spinning 360 degrees a second and there was an awful taste on his tongue. It kind of made his nose itch and it eventually dawned on him what it was.
"HOW THE FUCK WAS I SO STUPID!" Naruto yelled into the space he was confined in. A dark chuckle came from his left and Naruto felt himself tense.
"Who the fuck are you?" he asked, still unable to work anything out due to the blinding white lights above his person. The chuckle sounded again and he felt a hand trail down his chest.
'Holy shit, he's touching my fucking chest!' Naruto internally screamed. On the outside however, he just squirmed and tried to get away. The hand was thankfully withdrawn from his torso and he tried not to let his relief show too much in fear that it would just return.
"Well, my weasels did good. As well as you Kabuto," the voice told another member.
"You're guaranteed a promotion," it continued. Naruto felt sick to his stomach. All of this for a promotion? What kind of sick person would agree to that? He also disliked the way that as soon as the other person had left the room, a sharp pain shot through his right arm. He felt a needle forcing it's way through his veins and injecting something into his system.
"Damn it, what did you just do!" he tried to yell, but it came out as a harsh pant. The lights went out, leaving him in darkness.
"Trust me Naruto-kun, it'll be better in the morning!" the voice whispered before the loud thunk of a metal lock being slid into place sounded. Naruto's breath came out in short pants. A cold sensation worked its way up his arm and he could feel it as it slowly froze his veins and arteries. The feeling of claustrophobia was immense as his wrists and ankles were bound to what he could only assume to be a hospital bed. It was too surreal for him. He was captured just after Sasuke had left? It was almost as if someone had told them where he was and what was going on. Briefly he wondered what was going on in the orphanage. Were they looking for him? What had happened? By the time his musings had wondered around to what Iruka would be making for dinner, the drug had made its way around his heart, plunging it into an icy coldness that made him shiver. All feeling from his waist downwards had disappeared as he lay there in the dark abyss, not knowing what to do. In all honesty, he was bored. Worried- don't get him wrong- but bored. He sighed and decided to hum a small tune. As he waited longer, he picked up volume throughout singing his songs. Eventually he got bored of that and decided to recite some of his favourite movies.
"-falling for your wife! You idiot!" he'd just yelled in the best impression ever when the door opened, spilling a beam of light across his captor. He really should have expected it yet here he was, in full shock.
"Orochimaru-bastard!" he yelled, trying to move his limbs to struggle, only to find out he couldn't. Orochimaru smirked at the boy's efforts but just chuckled.
"It seems my drug is improving," he told the blond. Naruto stopped struggling for a moment to glance up at his yellow eyed captor.
"Your what now?" he asked, confused as to why the supposedly evil leader of the world was researching a drug. If it was one that anesthetised the patient, surely that wasn't bad, was it? The chuckle sounded dry, like dead leaves scraping across the roadside in autumn. It was similar to a hiss, but not quite. Naruto briefly entertained himself with the idea that Orochimaru was kind of like Lord Voldemort from the Harry Potter movies. A smile almost graced his face at the thought, but he kept it down in fear of what would happen. Sure he couldn't feel a thing, but it didn't mean he couldn't die from a beating. It would just make it less painful. He felt as though he should just ignore the snake-bastard but as soon as he was about to shut his eyes and sleep, the man said something that caught his interest.
"I really did regret blowing that place up y'know," he told the blond. Blue eyes widened.
"What the hell are you talking about?" he asked him. Orochimaru chuckled.
"Why the orphanage of course. Shortly after you were captured, we sent the okay ahead for your home to be destroyed!" he smiled. A hollow feeling that had nothing to do with the drug settled in his stomach.
"You're lying!" he stated simply, nearing a shout. Orochimaru chuckled before showing Naruto some photographs of the destroyed orphanage. Tears filled the blue eyes of the teen who was strapped to the bed.
"N-no!" the broken protest slipped past his dry lips as he witnessed the photos before his eyes. Orochimaru smirked before taking something from a shelf nearby. It was the nine-tailed fox plush doll, ears singed a little but otherwise in good condition.
"Proof right here," he whispered, placing the plushie next to the blonde's head. Just as he was about to say something else, another needle was inserted into his arm. There was no pain but the sensation still felt weird. Orochimaru smirked.
"I can't believe I managed to capture you Naruto-kun. I imagine your parents would be turning in their graves right now with what I'm doing but it's their fault. They stepped in the way," he whispered before sitting down on the chair next to the bed with a clipboard, ready to take notes. It was then that Naruto realised that the first injection was an anaesthetic. It made no difference because no longer than five seconds after the second injection, pain laced its way through every part of his body. It felt as though someone had lit an unstoppable fire and made it trace its way through his veins. Sweat beaded his forehead as it pulsed throughout his small tan body. Orochimaru looked on with interest at the results. Naruto arched his back off the bed in pain as it travelled down his spine and hit his stomach, making him want to curl in on himself after just having to arch his back. The change of the places of pain made his body convulse into different positions as the drug travelled around his body. The sound of a pen scratching paper was heard over the groans of pain from the boy on the bed. Tan hands clenched into fists, drawing blood where the nails ran deep into his palms. Sweat mingled with the blood and dripped to the floor. The drug seemed to have thinned out his blood as it fell fast onto the floor just form the palm of his hands. Orochimaru made a sound akin to interest and the pen moved faster over the paper on the clipboard.
'So this is what Sakura felt like!' Naruto thought. He grit his teeth together when a particularly sharp bout of pain accumulated in his left arm, causing it to spasm. The door opened and in peered a blonde girl, carrying a tray. She was wearing a French maid dress, complete with bonnet and stockings, carrying a tray supporting a teapot, a cup and several sharp looking tools. The blonde paled as she saw what was going on in the room but kept her mouth shut as she had been told. Just as she was about to place the tray down, Naruto's arm spasmed once again, knocking her slightly off balance, but still holding onto the tray. Orochimaru grinned lecherously in her direction and she shuddered before bowing and exiting the room. The snake-man waltzed over to the instruments as Naruto tried to calm down, his breath once more coming in pants. The small crack of light from the window across the room caught on the sharp end of what looked like a wine opener. Blue pain-hazed eyes widened as he saw what the man was holding.
"N-no, please!" he begged, trying to get away from the man who was attaching something else to the device as he walked closer to the blonde.
"Just stay still Naruto-kun, this won't hurt at all, I promise!" he whispered. Somehow, Naruto didn't believe him.
~*~ Start of Gore
Orochimaru closed in on the blond and pressed the tip of the device to the blonde's now bare chest. Naruto swallowed, trying to rid himself of any mental activity, trying to turn his mind into a mental recess. A sharp pain above his left nipple drew his attention to what was going on and he cried out as he saw Orochimaru twisting the handle so the device rotated, digging into his flesh. Thin crimson blood spilt for the small hole as Orochimaru worked his way down. It ran faster as he got further near to the ribs. By this time Naruto was screaming in pain. It became almost supersonic when he felt his rib cartilage snap under the pressure, making the blood gush from the open wound. The resounding 'snap' echoed around the dark damp room, making it seem twenty times worse. Tears had long since dried up and Naruto was just taking his time in breathing. He needed to survive no matter what. His palms were still bleeding profusely at the abuse given to them by his nails but he seemed to care naught for them as he kept still, not wanting to make the intrusion worse. With a horrible 'schluck' sound, Orochimaru yanked the device out and threw it onto the tray before withdrawing a scalpel from the inside of his apron pocket. Naruto gulped and closed his eyes, not wanting to see what happened.
The sound of slicing flesh and the sting of a blade dragging down his torso alerted Naruto to the fact that he was being dissected- whilst still alive and without any anaesthetic. A whimper escaped his lips when he felt his skin being pulled away by hands and the latex appendages assaulting the inside of his body. Chancing his luck, he looked to see what was going on. He instantly wished he hadn't. Orochimaru was down to his elbow inside his body and seemed to be rummaging around for something that obviously wasn't his. A hand grasped his lungs and Naruto felt himself choke as the thin fingers squeezed them tight, releasing all the air from them. He threw his head back, panting at the intrusion of his body, wishing that it would all just end. He didn't get why his body didn't just pass out due to pain fluctuation. His intestines were then starting to spill from his stomach area and that's when Naruto realised just how long the cut must've been. Blood spilled onto the table as Orochimaru withdrew his arm, holding what he was searching for. Naruto was so glad that he'd never had his removed when he was younger otherwise all of that would've been for nothing. In Orochimaru's hand, rested his appendix.
~*~End of Gore
The feel of a needle through his body was the most welcoming feeling he could have at that moment. Orochimaru had run off, leaving his grey haired assistant to clean up the mess. Naruto had instantly recognised him as he walked through his 'dungeon' door. He kept quiet though, hoping not to be noticed. The thin thread ran up from his navel, around and to the top of his left nipple. There was going to be a massive scar there once it healed.
"You know, Naruto-kun, I didn't know he'd go this far," Kabuto explained as he stitched the boy up. Hazy eyes looked at the grey haired man.
"Huh?" he asked, confused and tired. Kabuto sighed and rubbed Naruto's forehead soothingly.
"He was never like this with anyone else I went to go fetch. The most he'd ever do was inject them," he whispered more to himself than to Naruto. The teen in question swallowed.
"Why am I so different?" he wheezed at the assistant. Blue met grey but nothing was shown in the latter's. He just voiced it.
"It's because you're an Uzumaki-Namikaze," he replied, sighing. After he had stitched the boy up and given him some refreshing iced water, he left the room for Naruto to muse on his thoughts.
Everyone minus Jiraiya was back at the cottage. The girls had disappeared to their room to talk about something that they wouldn't let the boys in on. Shikamaru was lazing outside under a willow tree, feet on Sai's lap as he sketched his surroundings; Chouji wasn't far away, picking some of the fruit from the orchard with Kiba and Neji by his side also helping. The dark blue haired man known as Kisame was sitting down near the Koi pond that resided towards the back of the huge, lush garden. Gary and Kaoru were sat on a pair of swings, talking about something in low voices. Kamari just sat on the grass, pulling out the substance as he sighed for what felt like the thirteenth time that day. He'd never felt so detached from his brother than in these past few days when Sasuke had shown up at the hospital. He was also spending a lot of time with Gary. When he had decided to ask his twin about it, he'd been treated coldly. He was starting to lose his brother and it was killing him. Deciding he'd had enough, he went inside to see what Sasuke, Itachi, Kakashi and Iruka were discussing. He plonked himself down at the table where the four were discussing an issue to do with Naruto.
"Have you gotten any leads yet?" the younger redhead asked them with desperation. The sad sighs were the only answer he got but he frowned as he realised something.
"Have you guys asked the Sabaku siblings yet? They own the shop Naruto goes to when he buys the milk," he told them. Four sets of eyes rested on his pair of turquoise.
"What? Was it something I said?" he asked as he sat up. Kakashi looked ready to just about kiss the teen when he had suggested that and Sasuke had never felt so grateful that there was someone who knew Naruto well enough to know what shops he frequented. It was as if there was a hive of activity going on inside the cottage at that instant. All five of the people had jumped up at the same time to do different things. Kamari had whipped out his mobile phone to call Naruto's favourite sibling, Gaara; Sasuke was pulling on a pair of leather gloves and readying his pistol before tucking it into the back of his jeans; Itachi was doing similar to Sasuke apart from with more deadly weapons; Kakashi grabbed the car keys for the jeep that was out front whilst Iruka ran around making necessary preparations: blankets, first aid kit, instant ramen and, to much of everyone's surprise, he grabbed the .99mm pistol from the side and slid it into his belt. Kakashi spontaneously had a vision of Iruka putting on a pair of dark shades and assuming the 'Fuck Yeah!' pose. Much to his dismay, he just snatched the car keys from his hands and sprinted to the jeep, jumping in the front. The others left the house, not before Itachi told Kisame that they were going out. Kisame was still staring at the fish with a dreamy face before nodding. Kaoru looked up to see Kamari about to get into the Jeep too.
"Hey, Kam, where are you going bro?" he asked, jogging up to him. Kamari glare at him slightly, annoyed by his brother's bi-polar behaviour.
"None of your business Kaoru," he told his older brother before jumping into the back seat and slamming the door closed in the elders stunned face. No longer than five seconds later, they had sped out of the drive and were zooming down the snowy road. Within record time, they reached 'Sabaku's Supplies' and had entered the shop to see a man with scraggly brown hair and a cat hat on his head.
"Yo Kankuro!" Kamari supplied, noticing that the adults and Sasuke had no idea who he was. The man looked up and smiled at the redhead.
"Hey little K! What's up? I heard about the Orphanage. Everyone okay?" he asked, frowning. Kamari mirrored his look.
"Actually, they're not all okay. Naruto's missing." He told the brunet. Kankuro's eyes widened.
"Shit, have you told Gaara yet?" he asked, peering over his shoulder to see if the youngest sibling was sneaking up on him.
"Told me what?" came a voice from in front of the brunet. Kankuro jumped about a mile at the sight of his little brother suddenly appearing.
"Naruto's missing, Gaara. Who was on staff at about 8pm last night?" Kamari asked, ignoring the anxious vibes coming from the adults and Sasuke behind him. Gaara sighed and shook his head.
"That idiot's gone and gotten himself into trouble again. In answer to your question, Temari was on duty at your requested time last night. I'll go fetch her." Gaara told them before walking off to the door marked 'Staff Only'. Kamari sighed and turned to see how the elders were doing. Iruka was bursting to ask questions, Kakashi was looking around in interest at the shelves, Itachi was waiting patiently but what was most interesting, in Kamari's eyes, was Sasuke. The youngest Uchiha was trying his best to look stoic and uncaring, but he was nibbling slightly at his bottom lip and he kept on clenching then unclenching his fists. Not to mention the flash of concern that passed through his eyes every now and then. Gaara came back with Temari in tow before two minutes was up. Kamari nodded at the girl who nodded back, still fanning herself.
"Temari, what happened to Naruto last night?" Kamari asked. The blonde stuttered in her fanning and it fell to the floor. Sasuke's eyes widened at the reaction. She must've known something.
"D-did he not get back with you guys?" she asked. Kamari shook his head and Temari cursed.
"It must've been Kabuto. I told the idiot to watch his back but he just had to go and get kidnapped!" she stressed, pacing the space in front of the till. A small hand descended upon her shoulder and looked around to see Gaara with a sympathetic look on his face.
"It's okay Temari, we'll get the bastards anyway," he comforted his sister. Temari nodded and picked up her fan to start fiddling with it. Kamari nodded and voiced his thanks as they exited the shop, the redhead leading the way. They approached an alley and Kamari turned down it, knowing that Naruto usually took this shortcut sometimes. As the y got to the end, they found a discarded carton of milk.
"Bingo," Kamari muttered as he noticed the tracks that belonged to a Ford Transit leading off in only one possible direction. The newly built 'Research' centre. Sasuke smirked.
"Nice one little red," he commented. Kamari snorted before lightly shoving the younger Uchiha.
"Oh shut it duck-butt. I'm only helping you find your boyfriend," he smirked at the Uchiha. The adults shook their heads and headed towards the Jeep. They were going to collect Naruto.
Juura stared at the front page with wide eyes. There, in colour, blown up, was a picture of the orphanage in ruins. She shook her head before pulling out her mobile and calling her speed-dial.
"Yo Juu-Juu! 'Sup?" a voice asked. Juura sighed.
"Hey Kakashi, did the orphanage really get Hiroshima'ed?" she asked seriously. Kakashi sighed.
"They're all okay. They're staying out my place." He told her. Juura sighed in relief. The main issue she was thinking of was what had happened to the children. Thank goodness they were okay. She heard a brief car horn in the background on the other side of the phone.
"Kakashi, what's going on?" she asked, looking out of the window in time to see a Jeep speed past. Her left eye twitched. That was Kakashi's Jeep.
"Juura, I want you to go to my place and pick up Sakura, Shikamaru, Cassie, Gary and Kaoru. Leave the others in charge of the younger ones. We need to rescue Naruto!" he ordered over the phone.
"My car isn't that big Kakashi!" Juura complained.
"Then get Sasori to help then!" he persisted. Juura sighed and looked towards the room where Sasori was currently moping.
"He's being all emo though!" Juura pouted.
"JUURA KAMIZUKI! GET THOSE PEOPLE HERE IMMEDIATELY!" roared the voice on the other end. Juura rubbed her ear and frowned. She sighed once more.
"Fine! Where do we meet?" she asked.
"Konoha Research Facility." was the final statement before the grey haired man hung up. Juura stuck her tongue out at the now silent phone and approached the room where Sasori was moping. With a small- albeit nervous- chuckle, Juura pushed open the door.
"Alright Sasori, time to get your ass outta he-" she froze mid sentence with what she saw. Her right eye twitched and her nose started to itch. A warm, wet sensation escaped her nostril as she drunk in the sight of the two men on top of one another.
"Oh dear yaoi gods!" she whispered, trying to stem her nosebleed, even though the two weren't doing anything compromising but just staring her. Sasori looked bothered.
"What did you want Juura?" Sasori asked, pressing closer to the now awake Deidara.
"K-Kakashi-sensei requires our assistance in rescuing one of the group members. We need to pick some people up first and the Impala's too small." She strained. Sasori sighed and sat up, rubbing his head.
"Damn it," he muttered.
"Juura, give me a bad image please!" he moaned. This further set off the nosebleed but she shook it off by using the same image.
"Gai-sensei in a bikini, dancing The Nutcracker." She deadpanned. Everyone in the room shivered at that before Sasori finally stood up and grabbed his keys.
"We better hurry then. Don't blow anything up Dei," Sasori explained as he walked out the front door.
"What about blowing you?" Juura quipped. Sasori glared at her and she chuckled as she entered her car and the two sped off to Kakashi's place to pick up the teens. They arrived within two minutes to pick the rest of the team up, minus the ones who were to look after the younger ones. Cassie and Sakura jumped into Juura's car whilst Gary and Kaoru entered Sasori's. Before they departed, both adults quickly briefed the teens on what was going on. Once everyone understood, they were going at breakneck speed towards the research facility centre. When they got within fifty feet of the place, they slowed to a crawl to avoid suspicion and met up around near a back door. Sasuke's eyes widened when he saw Sasori.
"You!" he hissed, pointing to the redhead. Sasori then recognised him.
"You bastard! You made Deidara grab that vial! His prints were all over that! He could've died!" Sasori whisper yelled. Sasuke scoffed.
"It's not my fault he didn't think of wearing gloves when taking it!" he replied. A cough brought them both out of their bickering. Kakashi was there, looking annoyed as he surveyed the two.
"If you two could get over your pampering issues, we have a member to save here!" he hissed at the two of them. Kaoru looked towards his twin who was prepping a weapon opposite him. His eyes then travelled around to everyone. Iruka and Kakashi were prepping a weapon for each of them then passing them around. The cool weight of the metal pressed in his hands and weighed on his conscience. He glanced to Gary who seemed at home with the pistol in his hands as he expertly toyed with the parts, loosening them up. Cassie had a determined grin on her face and was talking Sakura through everything, trying to give her more confidence in the firearm she was holding. Sasuke was trying to remain calm, trying not to show how impatient he was to go in there, get Naruto out and kill Orochimaru. Itachi met his eyes and nodded, making a sinking feeling appear in the bottom of Kaoru's stomach. They had been chosen by Kakashi as the ones with the most field experience and the ones who had determination. Kaoru swallowed nervously but then steeled his eyes as he cocked his pistol. Kamari looked up to his twin to see that his expression in his eyes had changed. They were shining in that way that had him wanting to just close his eyes and never look into those eyes again. He braved it though. This was an important mission.
Kakashi looked up.
"Everyone ready?" he asked. Everyone nodded, Cassie with a grin in place. Kakashi half expected her to pull another Iruka with the shades and 'Fuck Yeah!' pose.
"I was born ready," Gary remarked before clicking his safety to fire. Kakashi nodded and they entered the building like the stealthy ninjas they were.
The first line of security was no problem. It was just a few small flicks of the wrist for Juura before they fell to the ground, Senbon needles in a critical place. Itachi had to admit, he was impressed. They made their way to the second line which proved a bit more difficult.
Three tall men stood there, blocking the door to the next room where they would have to go down to the basement. A simultaneous cocking was heard from the team as they all pointed their firearms at the security. Cassie started to gush.
"Oh my gosh, did you hear that? That was so cool and in sync!" she squealed, successfully distracting them so that the rest of the group shot at them. One of them, a man with silver hair and glasses dodged the bullet in time for it to go slamming into the door frame above his head. He smirked and pushed his glasses closer to his face.
"You're going the wrong way idiots. He's being kept somewhere different now," he smirked before disappearing through the door. The team groaned and formed a small circle.
"What do we do?" Kamari asked, gnawing at his bottom lip.
"We split into four different groups. Itachi, take Sasuke. I'll take Kaoru and Sakura. Iruka, you take Cassie and Kamari and Juura, you're with Gary and Sasori." Kakashi told the members. Everyone nodded and went to their respective teams. If you find Naruto: take him and get out as fast as you can because there's no guarantee that Orochimaru won't be around now that he's got him." Kakashi warned. They all nodded before taking off in different directions...
Team Iruka
Iruka took the left path, walking down a long corridor. Cassie and Kamari followed dutifully behind him, weapons poised and at the ready for any sign of attack. They checked in many rooms but came up empty handed. After a while, their guard had started to slip, making them less prepared for an attack.
"Hey, Kam, do you know what's gone on between Kaoru and Gary lately?" Cassie whispered as they walked down yet another corridor. Kamari sighed and shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know, he's become so distant recently that I just don't know what to do!" he complained. Cassie sighed and her shoulders sagged.
"Right. It's just, they do seem really distant, I agree. But have you noticed how they seem almost guilty about something?" she contemplated. Kamari hummed in response after they had yet again, come across another empty room. The clicking of a hammer being set was loud in the empty corridor and Cassie spun round to see a shadowed figure pointing a weapon in their general direction.
"DUCK!" she yelled, pulling them both down as the man pulled the trigger. The bullet slammed into the wall behind where Kamari's head had just been. They rolled to the side and overturned a large table for shelter.
"Fudge!" Kamari cursed, still aware that Iruka could scold him for bad language. Iruka peered cautiously over the top to see the man reloading his magazine. The brunet took the opportunity and shot the man in his hand, making him drop the pistol, rendering him useless. He looked up and scowled in the general direction. Iruka's breath caught in his throat as he realised who the assailant was. It was his old High-school friend, Kotsobana Mizuki. He froze as he was about to pull the trigger to fire a shot to the man's chest. The silver haired man smirked and was just about to fire when a bang from the brunet's left caught his attention and Mizuki fell down, cradling his family jewels. Kamari and Cassie stood up, dragging Iruka with them.
"If you're gunna shoot then shoot; don't stare!" Kamari explained as they walked further down the corridor. Iruka was still in a daze as he was dragged down the corridor. Everything was going fine until three men blocked the end of the corridor. They went to back up, only to see that they had been cornered.
"Shit," Iruka breathed before the three of them were pumped with 3000 volts of electricity, knocking them out.
Team Juura
Juura's team took the path going to the right with Sasori and Gary following her movements. As soon as they went through the door, they were bombarded with enemy fire. Instantly, they dived to the floor and rolled behind an overturned desk.
"Shit! Sasori, chuck me The Bird!" Juura yelled. Sasori nodded before throwing her a clay bird which she only just caught from the position she was in. Gary watched with curiousity as Juura ripped off a small paper tag on the bird and threw it over the table.
"COVER YOUR EARS GARY!" she yelled. With just a few milliseconds to go, Gary had thrust his fingers into his ears to stop the explosion from deafening him. Sasori peeked over the edge of the table to see the remnants of the guards splattered on the purple wallpaper.
"I never did like purple," Sasori muttered, finger inching toward the trigger on his pistol; just in case. Gary was stunned. The two elders had just killed a group of people without batting an eyelash! He shook his head and continued to walk down the corridor, slightly behind the two adults. His finger was kept near the trigger.
Ten minutes of walking prove futile. It seemed that all of the defence was at the beginning of the corridors. Juura sighed, placing her hands in her pockets and half turned towards Sasori before a grin overtook her features.
"So Sasori, who tops?" she asked. Sasori glared at the blonde before a clicking alerted his attention. He sniffed at the air and turned to Gary who was looking at them strangely. Just as Gary took a step forward, a beep sounded from within the wall. Brown eyes widened.
"FUCK! GET DOWN!" Sasori yelled as he dived on top of the two younger people to shield them from the explosion. After the dust had settled, Gary and Juura looked up to see Sasori coughing a little blood.
"Sasori! Are you okay?" Juura asked, cupping the redhead's cheek and forcing him to look at her. He smiled weakly.
"I'm fine," he said, wiping a bit of blood from the corner of his mouth. Gary just stared in awe at the man who had just taken the heat of the explosion for him and a niggling in his gut known as guilt settled in. Without warning, the two boys were pulled into a massive hug by the blonde.
"You assholes!" she yelled, crushing them into her chest.
"Well, this is a shocking discovery!" a voice said.
"Kieran, how can you even think that's a good joke?" the other asked before the three turned around to see a blond man and a black haired man with glasses standing there with portable tazers.
"Would you say it's shockingly bad?" the raven- obviously Kieran- joked. The other just shook his head.
"Moron, let's just get this over with," he replied before pressing the triggers on the tazer guns.
Team Kakashi
"And then you know what she said? She said that if I didn't get out the store, she'd call the police and charge sexual harassment!" whined the voice of Kaoru. Kakashi had taken the route straight ahead, following where the grey haired man had gone. So far they had yet to run into anyone at all. It was as if that whole area had been abandoned. After ten minutes, Kaoru had gotten bored and so had started to tell them about the time when he accidentally tripped on some ice in the supermarket and grabbed onto the nearest thing to save him. Unfortunately, that 'thing' had been a woman's skirt. Sakura just sighed and kept a lookout for any possible enemy sightings, as well as Kakashi.
"Ooh, did I tell you about the time that Kamari and I put one of Cassie's used pads on Naruto's underwear? Tsunade thought Naruto had started his man-period!" Kaoru burst out laughing at the memory of the prank. Kakashi sighed and Sakura turned to scold the teen when she saw something over his shoulder. Her eyes widened as she took aim and fired. A chip of plaster exploded from the corner of the wall. The two boys turned on the spot to see what had happened. Kaoru looked like he had wet his pants.
"IF YOU WANTED ME TO SHUT UP YOU COULD'VE JUST SAID! YOU DON'T HAVE TO BLOODY SHOOT ME!" Kaoru yelled, shaking his fist at Sakura. Sakura fisted Kaoru's shirt.
"Shut up you ass! I thought I saw someo-"
'It's raining men! Hallelujah it's raining men!'Three pairs of eyes swivelled to where a teen with white hair and sharp teeth stood looking sheepish. In one hand he held a portable tazer and in the other, a giant slushy.
"Um, hi?" he asked, slightly nervous at the fact his phone had gone off. He pulled out his phone and answered it. He turned away with it and started to argue with the person on the other end... who coincidentally also happened to be the one that Sakura had shot at it
"Okay, I get it! It's your fault for blowing your cover though! No, I'm not coming over there! Just come out now, they know we're here! Alright, bye! See you soon!" with a frustrated sigh, he put away his phone in his back pocket. He grinned sheepishly and rubbed the back of his neck.
"I'm sorry about this. We won't delay you that much longer, we promise!" the teen promised, taking a sip of his slushy. Eventually, another teen ran up behind them, panting with two tazers, one in each hand. He had a black cape on and an orange swirl mask.
"I'm sorry Sui!" he gasped.
"I don't like dust so I had to go the long way!" he panted. Kakashi just stood there, confused to what was going on.
"Give me a sip of your slushy Sui! I've been a good boy!" the teen protested. Kaoru's jaw hung low after that statement and Sakura was beyond mind-fucked. The saner one- Sui, to use his nick-name- just sighed and gave the boy a slurp of his slushy. The must've been smiling after the mask because where the eye-hole was, it turned into an upside-down 'U'.
"Let's do this!" the masked teen yelled, aiming a tazer at Kakashi and Kaoru whilst 'Sui' aimed his at Sakura.
"Sweet dreams, guys!" 'Sui' told them before pulling the trigger.
Itachi and Sasuke
After everyone had chosen their respective routes, Itachi and Sasuke were left to travel up the spiral staircase. There had been a lot of steps and Sasuke was starting to feel a little dizzy by the time the top was in sight. He sighed in relief when he finally found a straight corridor.
"Thank kami!" he breathed and Itachi couldn't help but agree with that. As they walked along the corridor, they noticed something. All of the doors had windows so that you could see in them without having to enter with the risk of being shot.
As they progressed down the hall, it became apparent that Naruto wouldn't be resting in one of those rooms. Just as they were about to give up a small squeak came from behind them. The two brothers whipped around simultaneously to see the blonde maid standing there, holding the silver tray in front of her face for protection. Scalpels, tweezers, drills and other various torturous looking items (including the corkscrew one) fell to her feet from when she had placed the tray in front of herself. Sasuke paled as he saw that some of the instruments were caked with blood. Onyx looked into dusty lilac and saw the fear there. That's when he realised that she didn't belong here. She'd been forced too.
"Where's Naruto?" he asked. It was a simple question really, but not an emotional one. The other blonde had started to cry at the mention of Naruto's name. Sasuke felt the mass of dread settle in his stomach as he advanced closer to the girl.
"Take us to Naruto!" Sasuke demanded. The girl took a deep breath and nodded, grabbing Itachi's wrist once he had come close enough with one hand and Sasuke's with the other. She led them down a series of corridors until they came to a set of labelled double doors.
'WARNING: Keep Locked At All Times! Experiment: Kyuubi in Progress!'
Sasuke wanted to throw up at that. The female pushed her way through the door and instantly, the Uchihas' senses were overcome with the metallic smell of blood. As if in a trance, she led them to the double doors at the end. Just as she was about to enter, she felt the Uchiha in her right hand still. She turned to see that it was the younger one. She tried to smile gently at him but her teary eyes betrayed her. Sasuke swallowed as ready as he would ever be. He pushed through the double doors.
He still wasn't ready.
He threw up in the nearest bin, only to see it had crusty blood-stained gloves. Sasuke was shaking, his knuckles white where he was clutching the bin rim so tightly.
"Oh my god!" he gasped, trying not to heave anymore of his breakfast up.
"We were too late, weren't we?" Sasuke whispered, collapsing to his knees and sobbing into his jacket sleeve. Itachi approached the table where the blond was being held down by leather restraints. Most of his body was caked in dry blood, and the parts that weren't, there was visible violent bruising. Cuts adorned the body that had been stitched up with medical perfection. Itachi's guess was the grey haired man they had met downstairs. It looked like for every cut Orochimaru had made, it had been patched up by someone who knew how to stitch so that it wouldn't scar. Bravely, Itachi felt Naruto's neck for a pulse.
Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud.
Itachi broke out into a smile before undoing the restraints on the blond.
"Sasuke, Naruto's okay, he has a pulse." Itachi explained to his brother. Sasuke looked up from where he had been in the arms of the motherly maid. He saw the genuine smile on his brother's face and felt the corners of his own mouth turning up too as he walked forward and the blonde was placed into his arms. Something wet hit Naruto's cheek as he was in Sasuke's arms and Itachi looked up to see that his brother was crying. Honest to god crying of happiness.
"C'mon, we need to meet up with the others outside and radio in that we've found Naruto," Itachi told his little brother who was just gazing at the blond in his arms with a small smile playing at his lips.
"I'm sorry guys, but you're not going anywhere!" three heads whipped around to see four people standing by the door. Three were holding tazers whilst the other one was the grey haired man. Itachi raised an eyebrow at him, secretly indicating the expert stitching on the blond. A deliberate and sly wink was made back in return. In a flash, Kabuto had pulled out a scalpel and slid it across the three men's throats in sync. Their bodies fell to the floor and Kabuto stepped towards Naruto, with a packet of baby wipes.
"It's best we get all this blood off of him before I wake him up," he muttered, about to wipe off the blood when a pale hand caught his wrist. He looked up to see Sasuke staring at him in disbelief as he still had the blond in his arms. Kabuto shrugged before handing the baby wipes to Sasuke who delicately but quickly managed to wiped the majority of blood away. Kabuto walked to the side of the room where Naruto's clothes had been kept, nice and clean. He handed them to Itachi before going to a filing cabinet and withdrew a small vial which he then pressed into Sasuke's hands.
"It'll revive him." He told the raven. Sasuke still held some doubt but seeing as he had just slit three people's throat (they were still creating puddles on the floor) for them, the part that said he was a good guy overrode the 'bad guy' vibes. Carefully, he opened the vial before tilting the blonde's head back and opening his mouth slightly. The electric blue liquid found its way down the blonde's throat in no time. Now they just had to wait for it to work. Barely five seconds later Naruto was upright and coughing. Sasuke held him steady as his body was wracked with coughs. He gently rubbed the blonde's back as they persisted.
"Finished dobe?" he asked after a couple of minutes. Naruto spun his head around so fast that he cricked his neck.
"Gyah! Teme that was your fault!" Naruto yelled, massaging his neck. Sasuke chuckled slightly before Itachi came up to him and gave him his clothes. That's when Naruto realised he was in nothing but his boxers. He flushed a bright red at that but decided against saying anything at that moment as he tugged on his orange shorts, black short-sleeved t-shirt and the jacket-more zip-up hoodie- that Sasuke had given him. Kabuto brought him his shoes and once he was all dressed, the five people made their way downstairs. Itachi persuaded Kabuto and Ino to go on without them as they were going to wait for the others.
That was until they greeted with the smell of chloroform.
When the three of them came around, they were all tied with their hands above their heads with the knots of the rope nailed to a steak. Sasuke glanced over to Naruto and smirked.
"Wow dobe, I never thought you'd look so sexy in rope," he winked. Naruto flushed red at that statement.
"T-teme! I could say the same for you!" he yelled back, unaware of their audience. Sasuke quirked an eyebrow.
"Really dobe? I think I look better when I'm the person tying you up with rope whilst you're on my bed beneath me and moaning my name asking for it ha-"
"OKAY WE GET IT!" Kamari yelled, smacking his head against the wooden post whilst Juura, Cassie and Sakura were all having nosebleeds at the image with nothing to stem the blood apart from-
"Honestly! I'd rather see Orochimaru get naked with Jiraiya than-" and that had done it.
"ENOUGH!" a voice yelled. Everyone looked up to see Orochimaru sitting on what looked like a throne.
"I wonder what the insurance is on that thing is!" muttered Iruka. Kakashi smirked.
"Go Compare!" he started to sing before a candlestick holder was launched at his person, embedding into the wooden steak. What surprised the group though, was not the insurance on the golden throne (complete with emerald snakes and built in cup/muffin holder) but the fact that two people stood beside it.
Gary and Kaoru.
Kamari looked up to his brother, betrayal and hurt clear in his features.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?" Naruto yelled, looking to the two that stood so close to Orochimaru. Gary looked down as he felt the eyes drilling into his head but came up with an answer nonetheless.
"Someone has to survive to tell the tale," he shrugged.
Kaoru looked up and met Kamari's eyes.
"Kamari, I'll explain later." He told his twin. This time the tears fell down the younger's cheeks.
"YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE KAORU! I HATE YOU!" he screamed, sobbing into his own chest.
"You still expect me to listen to you after all of this? What the fuck? I hate you so fucking much! Were you the one to tell them everything? Have you been their spy this whole entire time?" he screamed, looking his brother in the eye that time. Kaoru swallowed slightly.
"What can I say? I enjoy living in this funky town!" he told his brother who then fell silent. Sakura was staring at Gary the whole time.
"B-but he helped save me!" she yelled. Disbelief was tearing at her heart now. Her parents had died, she had no family know and now she's being told that her saviour was her killer? She couldn't comprehend what was going on. Iruka's devastation was as clear as day. He had raised those children and now here they were, working on either side of the most evil man in the world. Kakashi and Itachi just looked normal for some reason. Naruto glanced to the two stoic males to see if they were hiding anything. He glanced to Sasuke. He was just as stoic as the other two. Juura was beyond furious.
"YOU LITTLE ASS RAT! YOU FUCKING FLIRT WITH ME WITH NO SHAME AND THEN DO THIS? WHAT THE HELL? I SWEAR TO GOD THAT IF I SEE YOU AGAIN AFTER THIS, I'LL CASTRATE YOU WILL A BLOODY RUSTY, PLASTIC, BLUNT SPORK YOU LITTLE ASS!" She breathed heavily after her rant to make sure nobody caught the small snicker that came out with the insult. For his part, Kaoru actually flinched at the threat.
"Juura, you can't get rusty plastic." Cassie told her. It was the first time she'd spoken since she'd woken up.
Orochimaru was watching the people turn on each other with interest until it got boring. He sighed at the endless bickering before he waved his hand.
"Guards, shoot the prisoners." He commanded. Everything went silent but this time, Gary broke it. Well, he more smashed it.
"YOU SAID THEY WOULDN'T GET HURT!" he yelled at the ruler of the world. Orochimaru smirked.
"Oh, did I? Well, this shall be fun then. Let's start with the little redhead shall we?" Before anything could happen, Kaoru was in Orochimaru's path, protecting his little brother.
"You lay one finger on him and you're dead you no-good stinking son of a Michael Jackson cosplayer!" he spat. Orochimaru smirked before pulling a Lugar and pressing it to Kaoru's temple.
"Kakashi! NOW!" Itachi and Iruka yelled in unison. Curious as to what was happening, Orochimaru turned to see Kakashi breaking the rope on the sharp candlestick holder he'd thrown earlier. Then there was the fist coming his way. During Orochimaru's distraction, Gary and Kaoru had run around the man to untie the rest of the group. Sakura was the only one still confused but Juura escorted her out of the premises and to the car where Ino and Kabuto were waiting.
"Look after her you idiots!" she scolded before running back in. Kabuto stood awkwardly between the two girls whom he'd had to seduce in order to get them to go with him in the first place.
"So, ladies. How about a double date when this is over?" he asked politely. The two of them squealed. It wasn't their fault they couldn't resist his British heritage!
Back in the building, Kakashi was still fighting Orochimaru, now with Itachi, Juura and Sasori's help. Despite the unfair advantage of more people, Orochimaru was highly skilled with a gun so kept all four of them on their feet at once. Naruto was still tied up, Sasuke kneeling between his legs as he tried to free his dobe.
"So dobe, after this is over, do you want to go on a date?" Sasuke asked, still trying to get the nail out of the post. Naruto scoffed.
"Is this really the time and placed to be discussing this, teme?" he asked, wiggling his hands a bit. Sasuke smirked.
"Well I could do other things. We are in a very compromising position right now but unfortunately all I can do is this!" and on that final word, he leant in and captured Naruto's lips on his own for their first proper kiss to which Naruto responded quite eagerly. Sasuke was just about to go further and ask for entrance but the whole floor shook, forcing the two of them apart.
"What the hell was that?" Naruto asked, panicked.
"A kiss," Sasuke replied cheekily. Naruto glared.
"As much as I loved that, I meant the massive shaking of the floor!" Naruto squeaked. Sasuke frowned, looking around to see that most people had stopped what they were doing. Cassie had been helping Gary walk to the fire exit after he had tripped and sprained his ankle when running to help untie the group. Kamari and Kaoru were already half way out the door to the car. Juura was trying to help Cassie who just insisted she was fine. Juura ran out as the ceiling began to cave. Iruka and Itachi were helping hold off Orochimaru whilst they got towards the door. They got out the first door and so Sasuke took that as their cue to leave. He was about to when he realised something. Naruto was still stuck to the stake. Sasuke tried to dislodge the nail with all his might when Cassie yelled something.
"Sasuke! It's wielded on! He wanted to keep Naruto here! Cut the rope!" she yelled, sliding him a sharp knife. A shot resounded around the room and a sharp yell as Sasuke began to cut into the rope.
"Sasuke!" Naruto sounded out of breath.
"Hang on Naruto, I've almost got it!" he reassured.
"No, Sasuke!" he was crying now. Sasuke was shocked and gently kissed his tears.
"Naruto, everything's going to be alright." He told the blonde, who just nodded. The rope gave way and Sasuke yanked Naruto up from around the waist before pulling him out of the front door as the rest of the building collapsed. Sasuke panted as he collapsed onto the grass, Naruto still pulled flush against his chest.
"Naruto, are you okay?" Sasuke whispered. There was a small nod from against his chest and he felt the teen grab the front of his shirt. Sasuke pulled away to see blood on Naruto's t-shirt.
"Naruto! You're-"
"No, it's not my blood!" he choked, pushing away from the raven.
"Iruka-sensei! Iruka-sensei!" Gary's panicked yells cut across the darkening sky. The two boys looked towards what was happening. Two people were sitting up, supported by the Impala only. A brunette and a redhead. Naruto swallowed. Cassie and Kamari were both leaning heavily on the Impala. Blood was pouring from a wound on both of their stomachs in the exact same places. Cassie was panting, the bullet having gone straight through her but only a few millimetres into Kamari.
"Heh, heh," Kamari was panting but looking at Cassie.
"You're an idiot, Sanu!" he told the girl. Cassie scoffed.
"Not as much as you, Kamizuki." She replied softly, ruffling red hair. Shakily, Naruto got to his feet and ran over to the two who were side by side.
"You'll survive, don't worry," she whispered, smiling at the teen. Kaoru was there, tears in his eyes and holding his twin's hand. He was shaking, badly. Gary was there too, sniffing at the whole ordeal of it.
"I-I don't think this can be treated. But hey, at least I'm h-holey, r-right?" she stuttered as her arm started to lose strength and not ruffle the dark red locks as much as she wanted to. A small hiccup forced blood to dribble down her chin from the corners of her mouth.
"I-Itachi, c-come h-here," she whispered. Itachi kneeled closer and Cassie pulled him in closer to whisper something to him. He pulled away and she was smiling, a bit of fear underlying her eyes, but smiling nonetheless. She looked back to Kamari and Kaoru.
"W-heh-we n-never g-g-got to p-p-p-prank Sasuke!" she joked. Kamari was having a thick bandage applied to his stomach as she was talking. More blood fell from her mouth and around her fingers.
"Sasuke?" she asked, with a bit more strength. The raven was surprised that she was even speaking to him. He gave her a quizzical look.
"Y-you better treasure that ass he's g-givin' ya!" she chuckled before it became too painful and she squinted her eyes closed.
"Ow," she breathed. Before leaning back against the Impala's wheel and claiming her hand back from Kamari's hair. A small smile formed as she cracked an eye open.
"If I'm dragging it out just say 'cause I- I don't wanna do it like in an anime," she whispered to Naruto. Naruto choked a bit and Cassie turned to Gary to see him crying. She smirked.
"Would ya look at that, it's raining," she exclaimed faintly before finally closing her eyes and becoming still. Kamari was sat in shock with Kaoru still by his side. Naruto was crying silently whilst Sasuke just looked on, with something akin to sadness in his heart. Sakura was almost as bad as Naruto was but managed to keep her tears at bay. Iruka was trying not to show anything but he had raised her since she was a baby. Kakashi had his arms around Iruka again, showing him silent support. Juura and Sasori watched with sadness. It was never pleasant to see a comrade die. But Itachi just stood there, watching.
Silently watching as the clouds rolled overhead, he stood, his brain turning over the words she'd told him in her final moments of life. They were life-changing of course. But then there was still the issue at hand that had to be dealt with. Itachi looked towards his baby brother, not knowing what he should tell him. He was busy comforting Naruto after all.
"How are we going to tell the others? What about the funeral?" Iruka asked the silver-haired man. Kakashi sighed and rubbed the shoulders of the grieving brunet.
"We'll think about the funeral later but I think the only way to get through to the others is to bring the body back with us." Kakashi told Iruka, who looked quite scared at the idea.
"B-but Konohamaru, Moegi and Udon; they're so young!" he protested. Kakashi sighed and fingered the eye-patch over his right eye.
"People deserve to know how their loved one passes," he told the brunet who was shaking. He nodded before going into the back of the Jeep and pulling out a few of the spare blankets. Cassie was wrapped up in them and placed in the back of the Jeep. They drove back slowly, not wanting to jostle Kamari's injury and make him worse. Naruto was leaning against Sasuke, cuddled up to his chest with their fingers linked. Sakura was fast asleep, head on Itachi's lap. Kabuto was talking quietly to Ino about how decomposition helped flowers and also asking what the best type of flower to put on someone's grave when you didn't know them that well.
Gary was sat next to Juura in the passenger seat of the Impala, gazing out of the window as the raindrops started to hit it. Juura looked to Gary.
"I take it that earlier you guys all had code words for danger." She observed. Gary nodded.
"Mine was 'Someone has to survive to tell the tale'. Kaoru's was 'Funky Town'." He replied with a slight smirk. Juura smirked too before a puzzling look was sent Gary's way.
"What was Cassie's?" she asked. Gary fully smirked at that.
" Codeword. She was way too confident that she wouldn't get into danger." He explained. Juura smirked, looking at the Jeep in front of them that was kicking up spray.
"So, what do you think happened to Orochimaru after that?" Juura asked, pushing in a cassette tape. Gary shrugged.
"No idea but I still have a bad feeling," he muttered as the opening chords of Coldplay struck out from the speakers. Juura nodded as she followed the Jeep back to Kakashi's place, unaware of the incient happening back at the site they had just abandoned. They had lost this round, but next time, they'd fight twice as hard and next time, they'd win!
