Chapter 14: Conspiracy in Akatsuki’s ranks part 3
Kisame woke up to find that Konohamaru hadn’t ran and was still in the same corner he was in last night. “Hn. Whatever.”
! - ! - !
! - !- !
It wasn’t long before they reached the Ice Village, and they could finally relax knowing that they were safely out of range from Akatsuki’s reach, at lest for now.
“Man….I’m freezing.” Konohamaru said, shaking some snow out of his head and holding his arms.
“What’d you expect?” Kisame asked annoyedly.
“It’s not like I had time to prepare, I was kidnapped!” The boy shot back, tightening his scarf and extremely happy that he had at lest one warm thing on him.
“Quit winning.” Kisame said firmly, glancing back at Konohamaru who was staring at the ground angrily. With an annoyed sigh he pulled off his robe and wrapped it around a surprised Konohamaru.
“Huh?”
“I got sick of hearing you.” Kisame said, getting a questioning look from Itachi. Kisame only shook his head and Itachi smirked.
After a few minutes of silence, a question at the back of Konohamaru’s mind resurfaced. “When you said you wanted my Chakra…is it really that strong?”
Itachi nodded, “It is abnormally high, has it always been like that?”
“No…it started when I got this.” Konohamaru pointed to the wound on the back of his head.
“How did you get it.”
“I fell on to this really big chunk of wood.”
Kisame snorted, “Why doesn’t that surprise me?”
Konohamaru didn’t take offense to his comment, he was fully aware of his sometimes crumbly nature and did most of his training on balance. “How did you two get so strong?”
Itachi glanced back at him again, usually when someone asked him this question he ignored it. Mainly because they thought it was some easy path to becoming strong and they wanted it, but Konohamaru had learned that there wasn’t any shortcuts and asked seriously. For that Itachi bothered to answer it.
“Years of study and training.” Itachi told him.
“I bet you guys know a lot of really cool Taijutsus and stuff like that. Can you train me?” Konohamaru asked.
Kisame laughed, and interesting thought brewing in his head. “You know, I think I will.” He said with a small smirk.
Itachi looked over at him, “Kisame.”
He waved his hands discardingly, “Don’t worry, I won’t kill him.” Itachi knew how Kisame loved to mess with Konohamaru, but something like this could get out of hand easily. Itachi shook his head and sighed, he just had to make sure he watched it closely if Kisame actually did decide to go through with his ’training.’
Konohamaru grinned excitedly, he couldn’t wait! He was so wrapped up in thinking about it that he didn’t notice Itachi had stopped and ran in to him, they were apparently there already. Peaking from behind his leg, the boy could see a large building, about 3 stories tall and wide enough to hold a 100 rooms.
Itachi looked around carefully, “I’ll look around out here, go see if he’s inside.”
Kisame nodded and grabbed Konohamaru’s hand. “Why do I have to go with you?” He asked, know that he was warm he would have elected to stay with Itachi.
“Because your wearing my clothes, now come on.” Kisame gave him a small nudge to speed him up and Konohamaru silently followed him into the building, clinching a Kunai he’d taken from the fight. “What are you planning to do with that?”
Konohamaru looked up, a little surprised that he had noticed the subtle movement. “This is just making me nervous, it’s not like I was trying to use it on you.” He said.
“No, your not that stupid.” Kisame shrugged, opening the glass doors to the building and waiting until Konohamaru was through before letting it close.
“Hey! I’m not afraid of you.” Konohamaru said, stopping to look around the lobby, It was large, the doorway had a red carpet leading to a counter that ran from wall to wall. On both sides of the room were staircases that lead to the next floor then spiraled to the third. As well as one more staircase behind the counter that wasn’t clear on where it led.
Kisame sat down in a chair facing the door, looking around for anyone that could be Lewis. “Do you know what the guy looks like?” Konohamaru asked.
One thing that Kisame realized he forgotten on account of the lighting strike. “I….don’t remember….?”
“Then how are you going to find him?”
“I figure it out…see, that could be him right there.” Kisame looked towards a man walking in the door, he had hair similar to Kisame’s and was wearing a ninja uniform with a mist headband. He looking at them and obviously walking in there direction.
“Excuse me, have I seen you somewhere before.” They could tell by his voice that this wasn’t the person they were looking for.
“I don’t know, have you?” Kisame asked, a dangerous undertone to his words.
The man shook his head, “Nah, wrong person, sorry.” He walked away, Konohamaru turning to watched him leave, noticing that he stopped to talk to someone on his way up one of the stairwells. “I have what I need, tell everyone to move in.”
Konohamaru raised an eyebrow, ‘Huh? What did that mean?’ The boy turned back around and looked toward Kisame, who was watching another man that was looking at them specifically. He was wearing a black suit with a trench coat over it and matching hat, he smirked a little when he saw them.
“Kisame--” Konohamaru didn’t get a chance to tell him what the man said because Kisame was completely sure this was Lewis and was standing to meet him.
“Are you Lewis.” Kisame asked, muttering “Damn I hope so.” to himself right after.
The man nodded, lifting his left hand to his right wrist.
“It’s a trap!” Konohamaru yelled, diving on to Kisame and attempting to push him out of the way. Kisame immediately looked up, moving to the side before he even had him in his vision. A Kunai drawn from the man’s wrist flew past his head while Kisame reached down into Konohamaru’s pocket and pulled out the knife that resided there.
Kisame tossed at the man, striking him in the hand as he attempted to pull another Kunai from the holder under his coat. Kisame put an end to that quickly, pulling his Samehada of his back and slicing across the man’s chest.
Konohamaru flinched at the sight, looking past the dead man and seeing Hunter-Nin’s coming from outside the front door. With out another thought, Konohamaru reached into the man’s jacket and pulled the black Kunai holder out.
A shrunken with an explosive tag attached flew down from the ceiling and narrowly missed Konohamaru’s foot. Both of the looked up to see more Hunter-nin’s coming from the windows. “Oh shit! Come on!” Kisame pulled Konohamaru’s arm abruptly, hearing the tag explode behind them.
Kisame pushed Konohamaru’s head down to avoid another kunai, but within seconds a furry of them were flying towards them. With a quick glance back Kisame counted about 20 of them, no way in hell he was standing against them. “Go for the counter!” Kisame yelled.
Kisame dived over the counter in the back of the room, watching Konohamaru do the same and barely landing on his feet this time. He held the boy down low as possible as they headed for the steps a few feet away. Those feet seemed like miles, Kunais and Shrunkens blasted through the wood serving as their cover. Killing everyone else on the floor who hadn’t taken cover, a few of them striking Kisame in the side.
With out hesitation he pulled Konohamaru back, keeping him to his side and using himself as a shield for anything that may hit. The screams and cries were defining, drowned out by another explosive tag detonating behind them, so close that it burned Konohamaru on his back. But he still managed to make it to the stairway, running up in a full sprint to the top at the third floor.
As soon as the got to the end, Kisame pulled Konohamaru against the wall. With heavy breaths he surveyed the area, noticing that he hallway was shaped like a ‘T’. The stairway they stood above was right next to two other stairways, which Kisame could see shadow’s approaching in both.
“Oh Damn!” Kisame sighed tiredly, strapping his sword to his back again and pulling the 4 Shrunkens that had landed in his left side. “I got four of these left, you have a whole case. Make your self use full and take that other staircase, Just point an throw. On three.” Kisame said, getting a hasty nod from Konohamaru.
They heard a soft sound, as if something had just been dropped. 5 explosive tags wrapped together slid from the stairway behind them. “To hell with it, run for you life!” Kisame shouted, darting down the hallway ahead of them.
Two doors lay on both sides of the narrow corridor, Konohamaru checked the left while Kisame checked the right. “It’s locked!”
They didn’t have time to try and break them down because the tags exploded, a wall of flames cascading down the hall towards them. Kisame once again grabbed Konohamaru’s hand and ran away from the flames toward a window.
“Are you crazy?! ” Konohamaru shouted.
Kisame took the holder out of his hand, lifting the boy on to his back and diving out of the window. A wall of flames bursting out of the building and burning at there backs.
Kisame rolled, shielding Konohamaru from the flames while doing the hand seals to an unknown Jutsu.
Konohamaru looked down and immediately stared holding his breath, seeing a pillar of water rising from the snowy ground below them to stop there decent. But thing’s got worse, that wasn’t ground under them, it was ice, then ice over a lake. Konohamaru got the air pushed out of his lungs when he felt Kisame’s weight knocked into him against the ice right before it cracked and sent them into the lake below.
Konohamaru struggled furiously, with no air in his lungs and the burning cold from the freezing water. And the fact that he was on the verge of passing out from the blow to the head. Just as his body involuntarily gasped for air, he felt himself being pulled up and his lungs being fill with air instead of water.
“Kisame!” Konohamaru managed to force out, fighting to stay consciences. Kisame laid him over his shoulder and jumped off the ice on to more stable ground. Then laid Konohamaru on the ground, giving him a light….hard slap to the face.
“Stay with me kid, I didn’t drag you out of that water for you to go half dead on me.” Kisame growled, shaking Konohamaru by his shirt collar when he saw the boy’s eyes rolling to the back of his head.
He was so disoriented that he didn’t know which way was up, “Kisame…” Konohamaru said weakly, grabbing on to Kisame’s arm and holding it tightly.
Kisame looked down at him confusedly, they didn’t have time to wait here. With a sigh he lifted Konohamaru up, letting the boy rest his head on his shoulder before heading around to the front of the building.
Itachi was waiting for him, obviously having to deal with a few problems himself by the dead hunters nearby. “What happened to him?”
“Tell you later, first we have to get the hell out of here!” Kisame was just about to jump when a man ran in front of them.
“Come on, follow me!” He was wearing a white suit with a black trench coat over it along with an Akatsuki ring on a chain around his neck.
“Lewis?” Kisame asked, finally recognizing his voice.
“Yes, now that we’ve established that I’d prefer not to stay and fight a team of hunters. Let’s go, now!” The man was so blunt that he’d have to be from Akatsuki to say that to Itachi and Kisame.
