Melek in Olum


Mission V: Meetings

~*~*~*~


The club was pumping, the music teeth jarring, the mass of sweaty bodies withering together in a
sort of sick orgy. One figure moved easily through mass, a surprising feat for someone who
stood head and shoulders above every one else in the club. The large figure clad completely in
black was making his way towards the exit. As he passed by the tables at the back some of the
patrons called out to him, male and female alike. All stoned, wasted... this was place of pleasure
alone. Nobody cared as people stripped and went at it on the tables, nobody cared when yet
another junky stuck a dirty needle into already ruined veins. It was a place for the forsaken...and
Naruto wanted out.

He'd spent the last week trying to trace the very vague lead he had. In the end he'd ended up
deeper in the underground network then he'd wish to be. Per usual it had all come down to the
bases of life it's seemed, sex, drugs, and money.

A teenager no more the fourteen stumbled into Naruto, the larger man steaded the younger as the
boy, bombed out of his mind stuttered a thanks before staggering off again. Frowning sadly
Naruto continued on his way nearly home free. This place had been a waste of time, in the last
week the only true information he'd received had been in the form of the first killings. It seemed
the death of three Leaf Village ninja's was more important then the total annialation of one
hundred rouge mercenaries. The three young ninja's had shared one thing in common, when
their bodies had been found, their eyes had been missing...

That was it. A weeks worth of living in this underground hell hole had lead Naruto nowhere, all
the while he'd been worried to death about Sasuke. The exit loomed ahead and a thankful Naruto
placed a hand on the door before he was stopped. "Hey you..." freezing in place the large ninja
slowly turned to face the owner of the voice. "Yeah?" speaking quietly Naruto took the measure
of the man, small and pudgy he wore a mass of gold necklaces. His Hawaii shirt was missing
some buttons stretching vainly to cover his ample belly. The cheap looking blue polyester suit
clashed with his shirt. "Hey buddy how'd you likes to be higher then yous ever been before?"
playing the part Naruto feigned interest it c nev never hurt to find out a little more, "Oh yeah?"
the guy nodded reaching into his hideous suit jacket, "It's new stuff... called Nagnirahs, Nagn for
short there all the rage these days..." the man pulled out a small glass vial with a crimson liquid.
"This sells bout an even eight-hundred on the markets rounds these parts...you interested?"

The man was a sleaze ball, but this might be the sort of lead he was looking for. "Sure..."
Hokage was not going to be happy with him spending so much. The transaction was made, and
Naruto was outside in the fresh air in no time. He'd been gone much to long. "Time to go
home..." the large figure dissolved into the night.

~*~*~*~*~

"Where the hell have you been?!" Naruto had barley been home five minute when his phone was
ringing, and a rather irate Sakura was bellowing at him. Holding the receiver away from his ear
Naruto calmly told her he had gone away on business for the Hokage. "I sure don't care Naruto!
We've got problems." A blonde brow arched, "Oh?" there was a long pause on the other end,
"Yeah...it's Sasuke, he got back three days ago and hasn't come out of the house since...Naruto?
Naruto are you there?" the large ninja was already out the window and halfway to Sasuke before
his friend had finished. "Oh God Sasuke...be ok..."

In no time at all Naruto was banging on the blue apartment door, "Sasuke? Sasuke are you there
it's Naruto..." no answer was forth comming, the door was locked, all windows shut, lights off
and curtains drawn. "Dammit Sasuke! I'll be back in a few minutes and your damn well
comming out of there!" with determined strides the blonde headed straight for the Hokage. The
old man better be able to explain.

"Ah, Naruto you back?" the blonde set the vial down, "This was all I got, some new drug and the
fact that all three bodies had there eyes taken". The older ninja frowned, "That's odd...trophies
maybe..." Naruto shrugged, "What about Sasuke?" the old man continued to mutter puffing
away on his pipe, "Hokage, what happened to Sasuke?" startled the man in question looked up,
"Oh nothing he did his mission beautifully, not a problem...now if you'll excuse me..."

Naruto left the old man in peace heading back towards Sasuke deep in thought. What had
happened to his secret love? Sighing the ninja looked up startled when a loud crack of thunder
rent the sky, the rain came in torrents. Uncaring as he was soaked through the blue eyed ninja
stood once more before that silent blue door, "Sasuke I'm comming in..." that was the only
warning giving before the door exploded inward.

Lightning iinatinated the huge figure in the doorway, casting eerie shadows across the room.
"Sasuke?" no answer. The house was sparely furnished, the essentials. Everything was drab,
white and black. "Sasuke?" slowly Naruto walked into the room, no one was in the living room
or the kitchen. Dripping wet, he made his way past the bathroom and into the single bedroom.
There wrapped in a blanket, staring out the window was Sasuke, face that emotionless mask it
had been so long ago.

"Sasuke?" slowly Naruto moved forward, Sasuke was pale as a ghost. Dark circles under his
eyes spoke of little sleep, stopping several feet away Umazaki Naruto, felt his heart break. It
hurt so much when those deep crimson eyes looked at him, totally emotionless. Hard flat orbs
that peered at the world uncaring, eyes that Naruto hadn't seen since they where in school
together.

Neither male said a word. The room was silent save for the pounding rain and thunder outside,
inside the tension was thick. The air hung heavy, weighing down on both the occupants of the
bedroom. If the sudden ring of the phone surprised either of them, neither Naruto nor Sasuke
showed any surprise. The phone continued to ring till the answering machine picked up.
Sakura's voice cut the stillness, "Sasuke? Sasuke are you there pick up! The Hokage want's to
see us now we, have a new mission". There was a click and the dial tone sounded.

A single blue eye narrowed as Sasuke stood slowly. "Sit..." Naruto said softly, "Your in no
condition to do anything at the moment save sleep". Red eyes turned on the intruder, "I'm fine, I
have a mission..."

Without further ado Sasuke brushed by his long time friend disappearing out the door. Soft
footsteps retreated down the hall, and out the front door. Sighing the large blonde left as well
following the black haired ninja... "Sasuke..."

~*~*~*~

"Sasuke, Sakura thanks for comming so quickly..." Naruto stood unobserved in the doorway as
the Hokage laid down the parameters of what seemed to be a basic level mission for the pair, a
kidnapping apparently. "As usual I expect you to get this done with as le ine incident as possible.
You're the highest ranked ninja in the village Sasuke, I expect only the best from you". A incline
of his head and they both exited, the dark haired shinobi as solemn as when he went in.

Waiting for them to leave Naruto made his way silently over to the old man hunched over his
desk deep in thought. "What are you up to old man?" unmoving the Hokage steepled his fingers,
"They asked for Sasuke specifically... it seems fishy to me. Naruto I want you to follow them,
something tells me there is more here then meets the eye". Shaking his shaggy head the large
blonde left as well.

Long legs carried him out into the rain once more, he caught sight of the pair headed down the
main street deep in discussion. Fingers waved briefly in the air before the nearly seven foot man
disappeared. Neither Sasuke nor Sakura knew they where being listened to. "I say we leave now,
the only lead we have is this supposed 'camp' in the forest not to far away from the village,"
Sasuke nodded in agreement, "Alright then 15 minutes and I'll meet you at the gates ok
Sasuke?" another nod and the two parted.

The invisible figure materialized in the drizzled once more, moving rapidly towards his
apartment. With the ease of someone who'd been through the process millions of times Naruto
was changed and strapping his sword Hashishin to his back. The six foot blade resting easy
along the broad back. With that the nameless assassin left. His apartment, empty and dark.

~*~*~*~*~

"Sasuke, can you see anything?" Sakura's voice came form somewhere to Sasuke's right. He
shook his head, realizing that she couldn't see him, he spoke softly "No". The sprawling forest
was blanketed in a deep fog. The heavy air covered the ground, as early evening was upon the
pair. The sun already obscured would soon set, bathing the world in darkness.

Deep crimson eyes attempted to penetrate the fog, trying to see if it was somehow a ninjutsu.
Not so, the blanket of white covering the forest seemed to be a natural phenomenon. "Sasuke this
isn't good..." Sakura was scared, the little quaver in her voice was not lost to him.
Understandably so, supposedly this camp they where looking for was located in this area of the
forest. Unfortunately the fog made it impossible to track let alone locate anything at the present
moment.

A sudden rustle ahead had both ninjas crouching for battle, ready to take on whoever or
whatever appeared. The fog started to thin around them, unnoticed they focussed on a vaguely
humanoid shape that was appearing before them. Eyes narrowed Sasuke watched at the figure
became clearer, the fog receded, "Oh..." Sakura gasped silently as the now defiantly human
figure appeared in more detail. He was dressed in black, baggy black pants with appeared to be
an exobrant amount of pockets. Tight black shirt pulled across wide shoulders, unable to hide
the power lurking beneath the flimsy material. The blue metal head protector with the Leaf
Village insignia was tied loosely around the figures neck, momentarily throwing Sasuke off...this
monster was one of them? Looking closer still the dark haired shinobi tried to look at the figures
face, or lack there of. Two wide strips of black cloth with zippers running down the middle
obscured the figures eyes and moth leaving only a small swath exposed.

The man stood motionless, as if frozen in place. Sasuke mind was racing, who was this guy?
Why was he here? With deliberate slowness the unknown man reached an arm up grasping the
hilt protruding over his left shoulder. The fog was all but gone now, stray wisps clinging low to
the ground. The sun was trying vainly to fight the impending night, drying the fog away with it.
The six foot blade in the man's hand briefly reflected the deep red of sunset. The figure settled
the sword with grotesque familiarity in his hands. Hefting the massive blade with unnatural
easiness. A small gasp from Sakura drew Sasuke's attention. "Melek in Olum..." she whispered
reverently, moments before he levelled the monster at them and charged.
