Double Edge, Double Trouble

Naru: -waves- Hello fans, readers and those are just bloody jumping ahead of yourselves. I am finally back from my weird hiatus that took over me. I alone revised this story along with the story ‘The Bet of Love’. I just thought it was about time to do so since both these stories I have. Sorry I haven’t updated in forever. But the hob-goblins known as College and work took me hostage. Anyway, I am back. Yami! Get your gorilla butt out here and do your part!

Yami: -comes in and growls- Will you stop that? It’s degrading.

Naru: You’re the one to say you’re a sexy gorilla so live with it!

Yami: -growls at her- We don’t own Naruto in any way or form. All we own is the building, our characters/actors and apparently Sunny.

Sunstreaker: I told you before, don’t call me Sunny! And you don’t own me!

Yami: How the hell did you get in here?!

Sunstreaker: By using my powers of Sexyness.

Yami: What sexyness?! You have none! -continues to argue with the Autobot-

Naru: -sighs- Just don’t asks. Just don’t because I don’t understand it myself. Let alone how he got here. Hm…Transformer idea forming. Ichigo, Kon!

Ichigo and Kon: Yes our mistress!

Naru: Go get my latte!

Kon and Ichigo: Yes mistress! –runs off-

Naru: What? Their paying off the damage done during may building during the other stories. Read and review. Bye for now. -goes off to go stalk Jazz-

Chapter 24: Things we must face

Tsunade just sighed as she finishes checking the women over once more. She seems to be perfectly fine physically but mentally she did not know. She would have to probably have Ibiki or Anko to come over to see the women. Seeing how they were the experts on the human mind. Or at least get Inoichi over here and with Tsume permission have him look into her mind. Once again she could only sigh at her predicament.

“Is she alright Tsunade-sama?” asked the Kiba, fearing that there was something else wrong with his mother. Looking over to the boy she replied, “Physically she is fine as for mentally I do not know. I need to get Ibiki or Inoichi to come over here.”

“Oi, I’m right here you know! As for mental health it is fine,” Tsume growled out at the Hokage. Naruto smirked slightly at the women comment knowing how it feels when people do that. But he knows the older woman is lying. No one is mentally ok with fact someone raped them. Looking over at the aging Hokage, the blond notices the intense look and scowl on her that she was currently giving the Inuzuka.

“You may think that Tsume but you are lying. I’m summoning Ibiki and Inoichi over here to check your mental health,” Tsunade said strongly at her patient.

“But-“ Tsume tried to protest but Tsunade giving a swift reply of “No!” to the women so no argument can be made between the two. Naruto sighed before saying to Tsume, “Inuzuka-sama, Tsunade is only looking out for best interest. And you know full in well that would have to go through this if want to go back into the field to do missions again. So please bare with it until this everything is through.”

The head of the Inuzuka clan looked at the boy in surprise. She couldn’t help but to agree with the boy silently. She knew full in well that she would have to wither Ibiki, Anko or Inoichi to get a somewhat clean bill of health for her mind if she wishes to go back the ninja field.

If she does not pass it sooner or later she could not return for fear that her possible unstable mind could harm or disable a team she was with. A problem that happens to many times in the past with other teams, especially during times of war where they needed all the men power needed.

“Alright, I understand Hokage-sama,” Tsume calmly said even though she did not want to. She did want to remember anything. Wish it wasn’t real, say it was a dream. But she knew she had to face it. And that thought distressed her. All she remembers is black cloaks and red clouds anyway but even that brings pain of what they had done to her.

‘Do I even want revenge against those who have done this to me and my family or just press on forward,’ the female Inuzuka thought to herself. She mentally shivered at the thought of facing those who raped her. She was not ready for revenge, maybe someday but not right now.

“Ok, Ibiki and Inoichi will come sometime tomorrow to check you over. Please sleep Tsume. You’ll need all your energy for tomorrow,” Tsunade stated sternly to the women before leaving the room to check on other patients. In the end, she is to a medic in this hospital besides being the Hokage of the village. Silence fell upon the small group lasting for several minutes.

“Mother?” Kiba questioned her, not liking the sudden quietness she was exhibiting. A couple of more minutes passed silence passed in the room before Naruto spoke up, “Revenge will get you nowhere Tsume-san. Yes, those who did won be living on this world of ours but that won’t change the fact what they had done to you.”

“I now that boy!” she yelled him; “You think I am, stupid boy! I lived longer than you! I know revenge won’t solve anything, but it will feel so nice that I know they will dead and can never harm me or anyone else.”

“No, I don’t think you’re stupid but merely stating the fact of what I know your most likely thinking of doing in the future. But it is your choice after all to choose your family or your act of revenge. Let revenge take you over and never heal or let yourself heal with your family? Now that’s a tough choice isn’t it? But to me, it’s an easy choice to make,” the young blond stated as he walked over to the door.

Turning around to his lover, “Kiba, I’m going to see if Hana needs any help and tell her the news. See you later. As for you Tsume, the choice is clear. Don’t let revenge take you over.

Grabbing the door knob the blond walked out of the room leaving both mother and son alone. Kiba looked at his mother with sad eyes. Was his mother in that much pain? Her head was bowed down as she looked at her hands thinking over what the blond just said. Kiba could only sigh as he walked over to his mother side and hugged her.

He hugged her tightly. He wanted to show her that she was not alone in this world. That she got him, his sister, the pack and now Naruto in their ever changing lives. To say Tsume was shocked would be any understatement at the moment. She didn’t thing that anyone would want to touch her after being defiled like that.

“Mother, I love you and I will always be here. So will Naruto, Hana and pack. Please remember that. Get some rest will you, I want you to get out of here as soon as possible ok?” Kiba asked his mother who could only silently nod. She was still slightly shocked someone was touching but she finally registers what her son had said to her. She gave a small smiled for her son finally getting some common sense knocked into his head.

“I know Kiba, I know,” Tsume replied back as she hugged him back slowly drifting to sleep in her sons embrace. Outside the room a fanged smile slowly formed on the red lips of a male before leaving into the darkness of the hallway. After all, he said he was going tell Hana the news about their mother.

------Next Day--------

Tsume sighed for the hundredth time in that two hour time period. Ibiki had basically interrogated her only in a mild form of it while Inoichi tried to pull as much information out of her when Ibiki cold not. Having your mind walked was a weird sensation. But in the end it had to be done. Even though the memories were extremely painful since she had to relive them.

Her eyes were red from the tear she had cried in those two hours. She was both emotionally and physically tired from all of this. All she wanted to do was sleep for hundreds of years and forget all of these memories that were brought to the surface.

From the information that were gathered from her mind. It seems it was two unknown Akatsuki members that were never seen. And apparently they were sent to here to capture Naruto by any means necessary and have been watching the blond for days. It seems their plan was to capture Kiba in order to lure the blond alone in order to get him. Obviously their plan did not work since neither Naruto nor Kiba came that night. Which Tsume was silently grateful for.

“Tsume, thank you for all the information you have given us. I know it’s hard for you to live through those memories again but that is the first step of recovery from this,” Inoichi said to her. In which the brunette snorted in return. Inoichi just waved it off knowing she did not mean it.

“Don’t give me that shit Inoichi. I already know that so don’t give me that lecture about recovery. I already know it will take a long time to heal,” Tsume retorted to the pale blond male before her. Inoichi could only give a scowl to the women. There was nothing he could really do but to help get past this since each person acts differently to trauma. He exhaled some breath as he stood up and spoke, “I’m going to give Hokage-sama the report Ibiki. Your choice to stay or not.”

Ibiki nodded in acknowledgement as he saw the man leave in smoke. Ibiki looked at the once proud women before him. He could not say anything to comfort the women for he had never experience anything like she had experience. Even though he was renowned for his ability to get into people minds there were things even he could not do or understand. There things he could not understand because he refused to use them as interrogation tactics for they were too barbaric even for him. The use of rape was one those tactics.

“Tsume, I won’t pretend to understand or even remotely lecture you. But I’m letting you know as a friend that I am here for you. You got people all around, so don’t be afraid to talk to us,” the bald interrogator stated before going to the door and leaving the women alone. Tsume smile slightly at what Ibiki said. It was so like Ibiki to act like that. And for that she was glad. To not be treated any different but she knew everything changed around her.

Looking out the hospital window she saw the sun shining as birds flew past the window. She did not know how long it would it take but she was ready to recover. Recover with her family. Lying down on the hospital bed she fell asleep to the sounds and smells of a regular hospital.
