He'd found them.

It had taken almost eight hours of running around and picking the humans off but-

He'd found Genma and Asuma, both were bloody, and in pain from the nitro bullets, but they were alive. Unfortunately the rest of their group wasn't. They had all been killed. Or at least that's what Kakashi thought since he hadn't been able to find them. Kakashi dropped down into the thick bushes and landed in a crouching position next to his cousins, both of whom looked startled to see him as they looked up from trying to dig out some of the bullets stuck in their flesh.

"Kashi!"

"Nice of you to join the party, coz-" Asuma drawled in a lazy manner as he thrust a small flashlight into Kakashi's hands and growled. "Hold that and shine it right...here." He jerked Kakashi's upper body down as far as he dared and Genma made a humming sound as Kakashi held the small light where Asuma could see into one of the wounds on his leg, it was a nasty wound from the looks of it.

The nitro bullet had pieced deep, bounced around inside of his upper thigh, shattering the bone and tears the muscle before making an exit wound three times as big while it passed back out of him. It looked like Asuma's leg was only attacked by a bloody thread now. Kakashi pulled out a small thin pocket knife that he carried around just in case something like this happened and debated on using it to cut the rest of Asuma's leg off so that he could regenerate, but thought against it.

The worst had already happened to the poor guy, why maim him any further when he could see the wound slowly healing. "Where are the others?" Genma asked as he used his fingers to dig out a bullet from his right upper arm. Kakashi's eyes flickered to his face in the darkness and he debated on what to tell them.

He had seen Tsunade in one of the armored cars earlier, being held at gun point in a cage, trying to tend to her mate, Jiraiya. "Dead mostly. I saw Tsunade and Raiya being loaded into some of the armored cars in a cage. Raiya didn't look so good."

"Fuck."

"Shit."

"Yeah, that's what I thought." Kakashi said darkly when Genma spoke up.

"I think we're in real trouble Kashi-" Kakashi looked at his cousin curiously. Sure they might be out numbered, but things weren't that bad. "I over heard some soldiers talking earlier about the tower..." Kakashi stared at Genma with an unreadable expression on his face.

"What did thay say Genma?" Asuma asked softly.

"I think they're planning to go there next and capture some of our kin." Genma said worriedly. Kakashi let out a low feral growl.

"Then we need to split up again. I need the two of you to finish digging those bullets out and go back to the tower and evacuate our people to one of the safe houses in Arizona or Texas. I'll see if I can Free Tsunade and Raiya and try to rejoin you as soon as I can."

Both Genma and Asuma looked worried and reached out and grabbed his wrists. They would do as their leader told them, but that didn't mean that they particularly liked abandoning him to do this huge task alone. But they understood that they couldn't lose the two elders or their species would die out.

Uzu looked up at the person standing next to her desk and paled when she saw her old phychotic ex-boyfriend standing there smirking down at her. Son of a bitch! "You!" She snapped as she started to stand up. Sauske's smile widened and he quickly pushed her back down in her seat and sat down on the corner of her desk.

"My, my, but the veiw from here is nice."

"Well you can just stop pictureing me on my knees, teme, cause I'm not in the mood to play with you."

"Mmm, too bad. I rather like the mental image of you on your knees in front of me. Submitting to my every whim."

"It will never happen. Now get the fuck out of my office." She snarled as she reached for the phone so that she could call security. But he grabbed her wrist and twisted it causing her to cry out in pain and grit her theeth as she blunk back tears.

Ow. Ow. Ow. OW! It felt like the bastard was trying to break her arm!

"Now, now, I didn't come here to fight with you today. Not really. I came to ask you out on a date." Sauske said as he reached out and hooked the index finger of his free hand in her shirt collar and pulled it out so that he could look down her shirt. She waited until he had leaned in just enough and slapped the hell out of him. The sickening sound of her hand connecting with his face filling the room.

He yelped let go of her arm and fell off of the desk and she stood up and grabbed the phone and quickly called security and barked out an order for them to get to her office ASAP then turned to look at Sauske as he started to get up. Anger etched into every line and angle on his face. "You bitch." He snarled as he started to stand up.

Uzu stopped him in mid motion when she planted her foot in his face, hard. Digging in the four inch heel of her shoe and tearing open the skin of his right cheek. He screamed in pain and rage and went back down crying as the office door opened and several men in blue uniforms came running in.

"Miss Namikaze!"

"Are you okay, boss?"

Uzu turned her head to look at the two and gave them a small smile as she rubbed her hurting wrist. "I'm fine. Please escort this strange man out of my building and post his picture and his name at the front desk. I don't want him in my building."

"Yes ma'am." The two men said as they picked Sauske up off of the floor and started to drag him across the room when he yelled.

"I'll be back you bitch! And I'll fuck you up when I come back!"
