I recently updated this chapter, when I re-read it and found it lacking sentences... nothing serious to the plot, just a bunch of my attempts...on humor...
I apologize for the wrong spelling/grammars too, English is not my first language. And I just realized that i haven't been posting Disclaimers so imma keep my tact and here it is~
Disclaimer: Masashi Kishimoto owns Itachi and Yasunori Mitsunaga owns Lilliane. I do not own any of these characters...just this weird fic XD
They arrived at their destination. The kingdom's main prison. It was a vast, rock-cut structure. Bigger than the mountain side of the sculpted faces of Konoha's Hokages. In the middle is a wide hole with connecting bridges, abyssal in depth. Most likely for air ventilation, skylight and circulation.
All four of them were separated in different cells. Each according to classification. The werewolf and vampire were placed far from each other, because of the known hateful, bad-blood between the two race. Hiro and him too. Hiro is placed on the section with minor offenses, in the middle levels.
When it was his turn to be classified, he was deemed 'unidentified'. And for some reasons, placed in the bottom most section. Along with creatures he swears that looks like the most failure and rejects of that sick scientist, Orochimaru's lab.
Being the only one with four limbs in that cell, amongst vicious criminal monsters, a fight naturally broke-out. Some have familiar features of the army he fought the night he died. Slimy, talking blobs, some full of hard scales with tentacles and most have multiple eyes. He wondered how they speak fluently with animal-like mouths.
The security measures impressed him too, since not more than 3 minutes, dozens of guards and wardens have swiftly neutralized the disorder. They have arrived immediately, using clubs that emit high voltages of electricity. He thought that it has the equivalence of a high powered Chidori. Effectively knocking down the berserking, gigantic monsters.
He wondered if those are effective on androids as well.
...
Witnesses from adjacent cells reported that the monsters taunted the human at first, then suddenly started killing each other. Then that long haired guy just stood there in the farthest corner with his arms crossed, unaffected by all the chaos inside the cell.
Being the only one untouched, thus the most comprehensive creature in that cell, Itachi is brought in for interrogation.
Hn… This must be the Nara's definition of troublesome…..
He wasn't able to pinpoint the location of the princess during their journey. And the Interrogation Room is only halfway up. The captain who escorted them let in a secret that the princess is detained in this prison as well. If he can be trusted. He didn't specify which level though.
Alas, being the resourceful shinobi he is, he made use of his Interrogation time well. The wardens strictly demanded explanations from a shadow clone, while the original rummaged through the archives of this prison. He took his time searching through various files and records.
They have unknowingly led a dangerous man in a mountain of information. Problem is though, most were written in a language unknown to him.
So he had one of the encoders translate it for him with a command from his ever convenient sharingan. He finally found a file that is of great significance to his search. The file that contains his and his group's reasons for being detained.
The data on Hiro is written in a similar language.
...
Hiro Hiyorimi
Origin: Human realm
Race: Human
Status: blood warrior to the 2nd princess, Lillianne.
Besides the similar entry of ('colleague to the 2nd princess, Lillianne) that Riza, Reiri and Hiro has, much more are written under his name.
But his' is written in a different language, so he had the encoder translate it for him as well.
...
Itachi Uchiha
All written data hereof are from the analyzer's acquired data and verified by the person's current liege.
Origin: Unknown realm
Status: blood warrior to the 2nd princess, Lillianne
Race: Undecipherable; due to the person's
Features: human-like in outside appearance; contains high-ranking unknown life-force of a north-eastern spirit
...
Life force of a north-eastern spirit? What does that mean? And why write mine in a different language?
If something else has possessed him or is currently residing in him, he would know. As far as he knows, all he feels now is just his own healed self, minus the illness he suffered before with the pain he can never forget.
Besides the heavy feeling in his eyes, signaling that he's overused his optical powers for 5 hours straight now.
He felt gratitude too, while a bit of steam rose from his irises. Proof of an injury being perfectly healed. Now he can overuse his mangekyo sharingan without the fear of getting blind.
With nothing else to find, he went back to the nearby Interrogation Room. He dispelled the genjutsu in the space and dispersed the silent shadow clone before the wardens use brutal force.
With the clone's knowledge transferred to him, he decided to check the upper levels for the princess. He found the perfect opportunity when all cells were opened for the nightly release of the prisoners pent-up frustrations.
An allowed combat is being held in the bottom of the prison grounds.
With still an ample amount of chakra left, he made a shadow clone to watch the fight of Riza and a notorious werewolf killer in this prison, the pureblood vampire Caroline Lugosh. Ready to assist his half-breed housemate just in case some cheating is done. The original went upwards, and found Hiro first.
"Cant sleep Hiro?''
"yeah…its bothering me. Hime, Riza, Reiri, & Itachi-san….where are they right now? ''
"the girls are probably in the women's cells…''
"I wonder why Itachi-san was separated. Even though we're the same, Hime's blood warriors…"
"Itachi? Weird name for a girl…"
"he's not a girl."
"what? The one with long black hair isn't a girl?"
"Yes."
"the tall one?"
Hiro thought of Reiri and Itachi. They do have long hair. And both black in color. And both are tall but Itachi-san is noticeably taller because hes a guy. He gave the mole-man a clearer description. "umm no… the one who wears a ponytail isn't a girl."
"No one was wearing a ponytail."
Oh right… even his hair tie was confiscated.
"Itachi-san isn't a girl!" concluded Hiro.
"oh... Her, er, his height is just my kind of type, so that explains the flat-chest... shame. I was about to ask you about her, er, him. He sure looked like a girl from afar."
Hn…
"Uhm… you were saying about the women's cells?''
"Yeah. Theres another cell block next to this one. Dunno bout this Itachi though. Hiro, what kind of person is the princess? Please tell me, all of us commoners adore her.''
''um, Hime is beautiful, with silky hair…She's determined…& unreasonable. But a little kind.''
You adore her that much too, Hiro…
''How many breasts does she have?''
That escalated quickly…
''uh, two…''
''hmm… is she blond all over?''
Hn… I don't like where this is going…
''uh…. Maybe?''
''okay. I have decided.''
''Eh?''
Oh? How convenient. His mole-man friend is easily digging a hole now…
''You made a friend, Hiro.''
''wha!…Uchiha-san!'' Hiro fell from his bunk bed in surprise, face so flushed that made Itachi smirk. He didn't know a human can turn that red.
''I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just overheard you talking with the mole-man.''
''…''
''You do know your secret is safe with me, right…?''
The boy sighed in relief.
''Im here to check up on our master. Want to come along?''
''R-really? Ok! But…how did you get in here?''
…You do see the cell doors are opened right…? Sigh.
''I took this opportunity while the majority is gathered at the bottom level for the fight. Most of the guards attention are focused there, so it was easy to bypass them. Just like what your mole-man friend is doing right now.''
Hiro looked below the bunk bed & saw that the mole-man is out of sight, replaced by a hole in the ground. After a few seconds of processing, he found his voice again.
''umm…Uchiha-san? How long do you think Hime will reach maturity?''
''I don't know. Do you know how old she is now?''
''no.''
''Hn… looks like our master likes keeping us in the dark. If you've been with her longest and yet you still don't know.''
''yeah… I don't even know her real name. I doubt that 'Hime' is her actual name.
Eh? This kid needs to be more assertive.
Well…its not like its my business to ask…''
Oh.
''Youre right. Its unlike her to willingly tell. And I respect your decision to not pry. But she is your master, you have to know at least that...''
Hiro pondered on this, then noticed that Itachis waiting for him. He did agree to come along. Their trouble of searching for the princess is spared when the mole-man appeared from the hole and brought urgent news. Itachi told Hiro he's entrusting the princess to her, which brought courage to the worried boy.
The hole isn't big enough. It was dug just enough for the mole-man's small stature, and Hiro barely fits. He'll have to go by other ways with the mole-man's said direction. If the mole-man can be believed.
...
The fight has started. They have to hurry.
A warden with human-like proportions with the face of a boar approached the princess inside her exclusive cell.
''I apologize for the noise, princess. One of the leaders of the werewolf and vampire are fighting, so its quite a big event.''
''And? You came all the way here to tell me that? I don't think so. Flandre!'' The little android blocked the warden's advance.
''fufu… Everyone's eyes are on the fight. A perfect time for mischief. Right now, Im surrounded by powerful enemies… powerful enough to turn you on their side. That's what I think why you're here now.''
Flandre charged forward. But to Hime's shock, her android is rendered immobilized with one strike by the special clubs the wardens use.
Of course, she wont let fear grace her face. Itachi and Hiro. Theyre near, I can feel it. I feel it in my blood.
She deadpanned the warden once again when it asked what kind of screams a princess makes.
All fear fled when she saw a familiar long black hair in the peripheral of her vision. And it did surprise her when the pig sunk halfway down in the ground before it takes another step closer. Then a mole-man emerged and started biting the warden.
Not any of her blood warriors she was expecting….
But the brave mole is clearly no match & was immediately shaken off. But it was enough time for Hiro to emerge from one of the holes & strike the pervert straight in the head.
The full force of the electric club & Hiro's anger instantly ended the warden.
...
Flandre stood. Her back-up system enabling her to move again. Hiro approached his friend, who sustained minor injuries.
''hey Hiro… when I get out of here…Can I go visit you?''
He happily replied with a refreshing feeling of a new bond of true friendship. ''Ill be waiting!''
''hmph. Ill send a formal invitation.'' The princess granted. Gracing them with a smile.
Itachi made an Uchiha-happy-smirk™ from behind the scenes. At least the mole-man's pervy intent led them to something good. The said person was able to overhear the warden's evil intent & was able to direct them to the princess' location.
...
The sounds of cheer echoed from the bottom of the prison.
''Looks like the fight has finished.'' Hime flicked a lock of her hair.
''Riza won.'' Itachi stated, observing her fully furnished cell. Complete with a queen-size bed and sofa set, as befitting royalty.
''hmph. Enjoyed the spectacle, did you? The pig would have reached me.''
''I knew the mole-man would be just in time.''
''hmpf. Yet you just stood there and watched.''
''I did not enjoy it. Plus, I believed in Hiro's capabilities, and he arrived in time. Itachi said affably.
See how he looked at you afterwards?''
Hiro blushed in the background.
''hmpf.''
Too many hmphs from one conversation. The princess is clearly unhappy with him. Her lips almost pouting. Itachi is outside her cell block since he can't pass through the
Itachi is outside her cell block since he can't pass through the mole-man's dug hole. ''I cant exactly get through these electrified bars… Not even Flandre can.''
''hmpf. You could've thrown something to kill it.'' She smartly replied, still not meeting his gaze. Now she's pouting.
Even though all their belongings are confiscated. And he cant exactly hide any weapon in a sleeveless, black & white striped prisoner's uniform.
''Or you could have said something to have the pig's attention turn to you, giving me a chance to attack from behind… hmpf.'' She added.
...
Alright. He accepted the chastise and left it at that.
Anyway, she ordered them to cover the holes and immediately return to their cell blocks. She'll handle this matter. The crime will be overlooked if she's seen with the murdered warden alone. She could reason she did it out of self-defense. But if the three of them are seen, with the mole-man, well, they get their sentences prolonged.
Her clever thinking earned her more respect from Itachi. He initially thought she's a princess who just does whatever she wants and gets away with it. He jumped straight down the prison's wide hole to attend to a severely injured Riza in the bottom level. Missing the chance to see the princess gape.
From this floor to the bottom level, its 78-storey deep! Has he killed himself?!
A/N: I read the manga, turns out the mole hole was big… but I aint making Itachi crawl in no hole~~~~
Heuhuehue
Besides, its Hiro's time to shine~
