Blinking blearily, Neji took in his surroundings, 'What? Where am I? Neji thought trying to sit up, only to have his body protest, his injuries becoming apparent to him as he groaned in response."I see you have awoken." Itachi said cooly from his place in front of the fireplace, it was dark so it must've been night time."Where am I? Where's Sasuke?!" Neji questioned becoming more alarmed by the minute."Calm down, Sasuke is laying beside you, and I have brought you to this lovely place called a cave. Or something like one, because once you both are well enough we are leaving Kyoto, leaving behind your lives as geisha." Itachi explained calmly, Neji's eyes widening."We can't just leave behind our lives." Neji said feeling panic rise in his chest."You can and you will, or you will die." Itachi said firmly, leaving no room for opposition. Rolling towards Sasuke, Neji wrapped his arms around the other former geisha letting small tears escape his eyes."Could we at least say goodbye to Naruto and Gaara." Neji asked after a moment, not turning to look at the man."Those boys from the Demon Nine?" Itachi asked in a bored tone, poking at the flames with a stick."Yes." Neji answered meekly."I am sorry, but no. If you are caught you will put both them and yourselves in danger." Itachi replied listening as the room grew silent once again."Could you at least visit them and tell them that we're leaving. That we're ok. Please Itachi-sama. Please." Neji pleaded rolling stiffly to stare at Itachi. Staring at the flames Itachi mulled over his options, wondering if it would really be all that safe. Nodding slightly Neji made up his mind."Where do they reside?" Itachi asked calmly, noting the little bit of happiness return to the long-haired boy."Past the red light district next to the fried eel stand." Neji explained closing his eyes. Nodding again Itachi stood before taking off in a dead sprint.
Naruto & GaaraStanding up, decked out in what was supposedly Ninja gear, Naruto opened the door to leave, Gaara behind them. They were going to save Sasuke and Neji. That was until they were caught by surprise by a samurai standing at their door. Both boys drew their weapons, but the samurai did nothing. "I came to inform you that both Sasuke and Neji are safe. Unfortunately, we are leaving Kyoto, they are never to return, never to become geisha again. Also for their benefit and your own, I can not tell you their new location. You will not be able to see them again." The man explained before turning, leaving as quickly as he had came.Naruto and Gaara on the other hand just stood there stupidly, the words sinking in. Neither boy would ever be able to see their precious geisha again. Staring numbly at the place the man had been standing Naruto fell to his knees, dropping the weapon in his hand to the floor. Silent tears falling down his face, Gaara expressed himself much differently as his weapon went flying across the room and was now sticking out of thewall.A feral growl came from the red-head's throat as his two pale hands went up to his hair pulling at it. "It wasn't supposed to happen this way Naruto!" he yelled in frustration."They weren't supposed to make us worse, they were supposed to heal our hearts. Not make them fucking worse!" Gaara screamed slamming the door and kicking something."I know Tanuki-kun." Naruto replied dully, dragging himself from off the floor. "We will just have to find them again won't we?" Naruto continued putting on a soft smile that didn't reach his eyes.
Neji & SasukeSasuke blinked blearily the aches in his body had quelled slightly, "You're awake?" came a raspy whisper. Turning his head ever so slowly, so as to not hurt himself, Sasuke looked to see Neji lying next to him."I feel horrible." Sasuke replied, getting a weak smile in return."Yeah I don't feel much better." Neji said moving his hand over and linking his little finger with Sasuke's. At the movement, Sasuke's face instantly went to something grim."What's wrong?" Sasuke asked stiffly."To keep from being found, Itachi's making us move from the okiya.""So we won't be geisha anymore?""No, but he's not just making us move from the okiya. He said we have to leave Kyoto all together, leave behind Naruto and Gaara. We can't tell them where we're going, we would put them in danger." Neji explained, seeing Sasuke's thin shoulders begin to shake."What about Haku and Deidara?" Sasuke asked ignoring all of what Neji had just explained."I'm sure they will be fine with or without us." Neji replied closing his eyes not wanting to see the tears falling from Sasuke's eyes. Neither boy recognized it as Itachi kneeled to make a new fire. He chose at the moment to leave both boys alone.
