Neji and Sasuke lined their eyes with colored khol, Sasuke's with blue, and Neji's with grey. Naruto had bought them both their new parasols, after taking them first to a place no normal geisha would step foot in. It was a part of another secret world, so unlike their own. Where their secret world was filled with beauty, and elegance. This was filled with death, and despair. It was the world Naruto and Gaara belonged to, smiling sadly Sasuke looked up at their parasols, Naruto had picked them both out. Sasuke's parasol was a plain white, see through actually, except for the dark blue flowers lining it in a spiral. On the bottom of the hilt of the dagger, that was sheathed in the parasol, was an etching of a of a fox. Neji's was much the same, see through with red spiraled flowers, on the bottom was a raccoon. 'The kimonos also matched the parasol', Sasuke thought dully. Did anything in a geisha's life not match? Looking over at Neji, Sasuke smiled softly. Well at least Haku, and Deidara weren't making their clothing choices anymore. "So your going to do the fan dance." Neji said breaking the silence, Sasuke could see the tension in the boy's shoulders. "No, I think you should. Your the one everyone says has a perfect fan, your so perfect." Sasuke replied recalling the words other customers would say, Neji cringed in response. "Fine." Neji said, ending the conversation completely. Smirking, Sasuke slipped the fans in Neji's obi, plain black and white fans. As they approached the mansion, both boys grew silent before Neji knocked timidly on the door. Sasuke had weaseled more information out of his brother before they both left, he had told Sasuke that there was a small party being held at the mansion on this particular date. The door was quickly slid open to the Saiyaku mansion, a samurai with long coal black hair answered. Taking in the appearance of the two geisha the man rolled his eyes, "We didn't order any whores!" he said before trying to slam the door rudely on them. Sasuke and Neji glanced at each other with confused looks on their faces, because before the door shut completely, a pale hand stopped it. At the door was a pale man with equally long, but silver hair his eyes rimmed with red khol. Blinking slowly, the man took in the image of the two geisha. "May I ask what two geisha are doing at my estate?" he drawled smoothly, putting on perfected fake smiles, Neji and Sasuke bowed politely. "Ah we were asked to come here by our honorable mother, she never informed us of why we were coming, or of who sent for us." Sasuke lied expertly, it was one of those wonderful skills geisha acquired that was there but was never openly known. "I see, well who am I to turn down the entertainment of a geisha.", the man said softly opening the door for the two to enter. Smiling politely, Neji and Sasuke entered before they were led into a small room filled with samurai sitting at small table drinking sake. All eyes were turned on them, as they had complete confidence. Sasuke and Neji had already closed their parasols upon entering, also removing their sandals. Sitting, they gracefully began shy conversation with the samurai that were there. Lighting cigarettes, pouring tea or sake. Every now and then being told to drink some themselves when being asked to. Kimimaru sat in the back all the while watching in mild amusement. "So are you going to please us with a dance?" Kimimaru asked suddenly, making Neji smile slyly.'Perfect.' both geisha thought in unison."Of course." Neji replied standing smoothly, pulling the fans from his obi as he moved to the front of the room. 'Hurry up Sasuke!' Neji thought desperately flipping open the fans he heard someone playing a flute softly in the background. 'Even better he won't have to stay and play. Absolutely perfect.' Neji thought as he began his slow sensual dance. Looking back and forth between the two samurai he was sitting next to, Sasuke smiled politely. "Excuse me, but I need to go get some air." Sasuke excused himself standing with his parasol in hand. As a samurai pointed to a door that led into a corridor, that opened into a small enclosed garden. In the garden on each of the four of the walls was a door. Sighing softly, Sasuke pulled up one of the long sleeves of his kimono, the neatly printed calligraphy telling him where Gaara was being held. Following the instructions on his arm Sasuke quickly moved through the short corridors. His parasol clutched tightly to his body, the short haired boy finally stopped at two huge double doors. Opening the doors Sasuke stepped inside, taking in all the various criminals tied up and wrapped in thick carpet like rolls. Others were chained to the walls or floors. Biting his lip Sasuke didn't see even a bit of red anywhere. "Gaara-sama." Sasuke called out softly, getting a few groans in reply. "Gaara-sama." Sasuke tried again looking around the large room, his eyes catching a bit of blood red-hair. "Gaara!" Sasuke said excitedly rushing over to the slumped over body his torso completely bound. Touching the red-head's shoulders, shaking him slightly. "Gaara please get up." Getting a small groan in reply, Sasuke pulled his dagger from the sheath of his parasol slicing awkwardly down the bindings. "Please get up Gaara-sama." Sasuke pleaded softly, getting another groan in reply. Pulling a small bag of smelling salts from his obi, Sasuke waved it under Gaara's nose waking the red-head. Looking up at the short-haired boy Gaara blinked slowly, as Sasuke took in the image of his busted and swollen lip. "Hurry, get out of here Gaara-sama. Neji can only keep them occupied for so long." Sasuke said handing the boy his dagger before he began to turn and leave getting a confused look on his face as he reached the front door. Just then a man stepped into the room."Exscuse me! What are you doing in here?!" the samurai demanded, glaring coldly and placing his hand on the hilt of his sword. Sasuke looked startled as he broke from his confused daze, smiling politely Sasuke bowed, "I'm sorry sir, I got lost looking for my way back to the room I was entertaining in." Sasuke replied shyly."Will you help me back?" Sasuke asked, holding his parasol tightly to add to the effect of being in distress. 'Please hurry and leave.' Sasuke thought briefly as he was led out of back to the room as Neji's fan dance had just come to a close. Sasuke quickly sat down, as if he had never left. Neji joined him soon after, all the men clapped at the finale of Neji's fan dance. Sasuke briefly wondered how long it would take for them to realize that Gaara was gone. 'Thank the gods, they didn't find out.' Neji and Sasuke thought as they stood to leave, briefly hearing the sounds of people running toward the room."Kimimaru-sama! The demon escaped!" A man yelled, after flinging open the door to the room. Both boys kept walking toward the door as if it meant nothing to them. Until Sasuke felt a hand on his arm, preventing him to leave. Turning, Sasuke saw it was the man with the black hair who had answered the door and he was glaring at him."Yes?" Sasuke asked calmly, before he felt his parasol ripped from his hands. The samurai inspected the now hollow bottom, "What are you doing?" Sasuke growled softly, glaring back at the man."Tesai! What is the meaning of all this?!" Kimimaru stood preparing to stop the man, Tesai's grip tightened on Sasuke's arm as Neji looked at them a bit alarmed."Your hurting me, let go." Sasuke said trying to pull his arm free, only to release a small whimper as the grip tightened. Without responding though Tesai dropped Sasuke's parasol and snatched Neji's parasol from his hands, before unsheathing the dagger hidden within."So your the ones who released the demon.", the man growled tossing Sasuke to the floor. Kimimaru stood frozen, as he watched the scene before him."Explain Tesai!" Kimimaru demanded watching as Sasuke tried to pick himself off the floor, only to be kicked back down by Tesai."They were never invited here, they just came to set the demon free. He left when we were most distracted by his--" he motioned toward Neji who was looking at the now blocked door, "--dance.""This is insane! We would never--" Sasuke interjected."Shut up!" Tesai yelled about to kick the short-haired boy again, before Neji threw himself on top of Sasuke, glaring fiercely."Stop it! We didn't come here to set anyone free we came to act as hosts. Nothing more." Neji replied, determination to convince them showing clearly."He is right Tesai, we can not prove anything." Kimimaru agreed making the samurai scowl."Um, well actually sir. I did catch the short haired one in the holding area.", a man spoke up shakily, Sasuke looked up and recognized him as the one who had escorted him."There's your proof Kimimaru-sama." Tesai said triumphantly, Sasuke and Neji's eyes widened in fear."You have to be kidding me! You can't go off of that, it's hardly proof!" Neji yelled, before being kicked himself. "Stop it Tesai, both of them will be taken into custody. If it is true, then get as much information about the demons that you can from them. Then they will be put to death." Kimimaru ordered watching as both boys gave him tearful looks. "I am sorry, but if you are working with the Demon Nine, then we are getting rid of valuable resources of theirs. If not--" the silver haired samurai paused for a moment. "--then I am truly sorry. We can not take any chances though.", the silver haired man finished looking at them mournfully as they were picked up by samurai and drug out of the room.
