Chapter: 6/ 14




Chapter Six

They were making great time heading back to the Uchiha mansion, turning what was usually a five day trip down to about three. When they started off early that, third, morning and Sasuke knew they would be at his mansion before mid day. We could have been there by now if those two hadn’t insisted on sleeping.

Sasuke turned slightly to look towards Neji and Gaara. The tanuki guardian had apparently gotten bored because now he was in human form sitting behind Neji who was doing his best to ignore the tanuki’s wandering hands.

“Gaara.” He called over to the two as he slowed his horse just slightly. “There’s something I’ve been wondering about that I wanted to ask you. You said that when a guardian is killed their power passes on to the guardian that killed them. But what happens if it was a human that kills the guardian.”

“Depends. The power can only be passed through guardian blood otherwise it disperses back into earth. Yet there are a number of humans out there with dormant guardian blood, usually from large clans or villages where family lines can be traced back to just a small handful of people.”

Sasuke’s eyes widened and caught with Neji’s. “Like Neji and me.”

“Yes. Though whether either of you are descended from guardians I can not tell. If a descended human was to kill a guardian the powers would indeed pass to them but one of two things could happen. Their body either accepts the powers and they become a guardian, or their body goes into shock and kills them.”

“And you didn’t want either of us to take that risk. That’s why you came.” Sasuke said as he turned his attention back to the road, the village near his home just coming into view on the horizon.

“No.” Gaara said a moment later. “I came so Neji wouldn’t have to take that risk. I don’t give a damn about you.”

They rode the rest of the way in silence, and sure enough by mid day they were at the mansion. They tethered the horses up as they quickly made their way into the house to gather more supplies and weapons.

“Gaara, do you have any advice on how we should deal with a guardian if it comes down to that.” Neji asked as they entered the weapons room.

“Most guardians can be as easy to kill as any human. If there is a guardian keeping the fox hostage then they’ve probably killed other guardians before, meaning they’ll be stronger than your average guardian. “

“How so?” Neji asked as he finished arranging a few more weapons on his person.

“Power full guardians are able to use their magic while fighting, sometimes even bending the environment to their will. Also the stronger a guardian is the better they are at surviving wounds. Assuming they know how to control that power, they could heal what could be a fatal wound fast enough that it wouldn’t even slow them down. If it’s the group that I’m thinking of, then it would be best that we get in and get out as fast as we can.”

“What do you mean?” Sasuke asked. “What group are you talking about?”

“They call themselves Akatsuki. They’re a group of guardians who kill descendants for their power, though no one really knows what their bigger plans are. They are very powerful. Simply put, they’re all strong enough that if you chopped off a limb they could simply reattach it and keep coming.” A smirk spread across Gaara’s lips. “Not that it worries me. I’ve had to reattach my own hand once before.”

“Akatsuki.” Sasuke murmured as they headed back out to the horses. “That name sounds so familiar.”

“They have a large number of humans working under them that caused a lot of problems during the war. Since you were a pretty big influence in the war it makes sense that you would have heard of them at some point.”

They tied off their supplies to the saddles before mounting up again and heading into the forest.

“So how do you plan on trying to track Naruto?” Sasuke asked Gaara after they had been in the forest for a few minutes.

“Concentrating on the magical energies that naturally flow within the forest I can try and figure out where he’s at.” Gaara answered. “Don’t get your hope up though, the forest is quite large so any magical traces of him may have thinned out already.”

“I might be better help than that.” They spun their horses around to see a young man leaning against a tree behind them. He was an ashy pale white with short black hair that framed his face. There was a cocky smirk across his lips and his closed eyes were arched slightly in amusement.

“Who the hell are you?” Sasuke sapped as his hand inched towards his sword warily.

“I’m someone who has information you need.” The young man said as coal colored eyes slid open to lock onto Sasuke’s.

“You’re a guardian.” Gaara stated.

“Correct, and I have been sent here to tell you where to go to find Naruto.”

“You know where Naruto is!” Sasuke exclaimed, unconsciously urging his horse to take a step towards the pale man. “Where is he!?”

“He was taken to the black mountain further in the forest, just three days ride from here.”

Sasuke’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he turned to look in the direction he knew the mountain was in. “Mount Uchiwa?”

Gaara and Neji both turned to look at him, and Neji asked the question going through their minds. “You know where this mountain is?”

“Yea. My entire clan use to live along it’s base a long time ago.” He answered then turned back towards the pale guardian. “Why... Where did he go?”

The pale guardian had managed to take their moment of distraction to silently slip away into the forest. “He told us what he came to say. He saw his chance to leave without further questioning and took it.” Gaara said calmly before turning his attention back to Sasuke “So I take it you know how to get to this mountain.”

“Kind of.” He answered as he turned to once again face the direction he was sure the mountain was in. “My father use to talk about taking me there but never did so I only got my parents stories to go by.”

“Well then.” Neji said urging his horse forward. “Let’s get going while it’s still light out.”




Naruto dashed through the dark forest, the taste of blood at the back of his mouth an unpleasant reminder of what just occurred. Sasuke’s pleading cries to come back had faded off and could no longer be heard, but he knew his love was still running through the forest desperate to find him.

He slowed to a stop by a stream and dipped his head down to wash the taste from his mouth. Taking the time to cool down he realized something.

I’m such a fool. He stared down into the stream. Sasuke doesn’t care, so why did I run. He doesn’t care if I can’t turn human again, he just wants to be with me. Oh god I gotta go back.

He turned sharply to run back to Sasuke but was stopped by black cloaked legs standing directly behind him.

“And where would you be off to so fast, little fox.” A deep familiar voice chuckled above him.

Trembling Naruto turned his head up slowly to see who was standing before him. His eyes widened in fear and shock as they met with deep red.

“If it is back to my little brother. Then I’m afraid he’ll have to wait.”

“Impossible! I just killed you.” Naruto cried out in fright as he started to back away from the man he was certain had died.

“Kill? Hardly.” In a fast move Naruto found himself dangling off the ground by the scruff of his neck by an arm he knew he’d removed barely an hour ago.

“Ok so you caught the baby fox, Itachi. Now what do you plan to do with him, un.” Naruto peered over the mans shoulder in time to see a large white eagle turn into a blonde haired human with blue eyes.

“Bait, to lure Sasuke to me.” Itachi said softly, his head tilted sightly as he studied Naruto.

“Dammit Itachi. What the hell is wrong with you, un!” The blonde guardian demanded irritably as he stormed up to Itachi. “Just go kill the kid already. He’s just running around the forest unarmed. You don’t need to come up with another off the wall scheme to kill him. Just do it, un!”

Glinting red eyes stared down at the blonde. “Deidara, take the fox to the mountain, and watch him.” He said with a smirk as he trust Naruto into the blondes arms.

With a sneer down at Naruto the blonde guardian gathered magic about till it expanded out with a bright explosion of light. Once the light cleared Naruto looked about to see crumbling stone walls around them and knew instantly he was no longer in his forest.

He was dropped onto the floor and before he could think to dash off he felt a cold metal collar snapping around his neck.

“Though I couldn’t care less if you escaped. I can’t exactly make it easy for you, un.” The blonde said as he turned away from Naruto and climbed trough a hole in the wall. “Would sure make things more interesting around here, un.”

XxXxXxX

Why would he go out of his way to capture me when he could have finished Sasuke off that very night. Naruto dashed through the ruined building, quickly catching sight of a hole in the wall that opened up to the outside. His actions make no sense. He dashed out the hole to find himself on a mountain side. I have to get to Sasuke, warn him that that man is still alive. The rocks beneath his feet were black and warm as he charged down the mountain towards Kyuubi forest that stood tall far beyond the mountains base. I’ve never been so far out in the forest to see this mountain before though.




Nanaka19: Sorry this took so long. I lost interest in writing for a while. That doesn't mean i stoped thinking about the story though. In fact I now know how long it will be and what is suppose to happen in each chapter. I just got to keep my spirits up so that i keep writing, and not get distracted too much (I'm very easily distracted).
