~Don't Look at Me Like That~ (Itachi & Sasuke) {38}::Missing::

YO. WELL, I KNOW I SHOULD FEEL DISAPPOINTED, BUT I'M NOT. NOBODY SENT ANY MUSIC VIDEOS, SO NOBODY GETS A PLACE, AND ECT. WELL, EVEN IF THE CONTEST DIDN'T WORK OUT, I WAS WONDERING IF THOSE WHO KNOW HOW TO MAKE MUSIC VIDEOS...WOULD YOU STILL BE WILLING TO MAKE ME ONE? I WILL STILL WRITE PEOPLE A ONE-SHOT, IF THEY LIKE. ANYWAYS, I'LL STOP COMPLAINING.
ENJOY!

"What?! Yondaime snaps at the three boys who stood in front of him as they all stood at their 'meeting place' so that they didn't know where Akatsuki HQ was. Each of them cringe a little at the sudden fury in Yondaime's eyes as he glared at all three of them. They were afraid to tell him that they had failed in protecting his daughter, as well as sticking with her. They all knew he would not be happy with them.
"You mean to tell me, you let her go without trying to hold her back." Yondaime growls. Jun, Raiden, and Ryuu all look to the ground and nod their heads. Yondaime sighs and rubs his eyes, as though he hadn't had any sleep in a long time and was suffering for it.
"As soon as she gained such an immense of amount of power, I don't think any of us wanted to get on her bad side. She was already furious at the time, and you know how Sora can get if she gets pushed over the edge." Jun ends with a small sigh, always hating to admit that a girl was stronger than he was...a lot stronger. Yondaime nods his head in agreement, looking down to the ground in thought.
"She has personally gone to Suzaku for power...that's a way to put herself in a dangerous situation. The power of Suzaku that now flows through her body could take over her. He could even control her if he wanted to if she keeps barrowing his chakra. We need to find her before someone gets their hands on her." Yondaime declares as he looks up from the ground, staring at the three boys with a sudden serious face.
They nod their heads in agreement. They would do anything to make sure that Sora was safe...but only to a point. Yes, they were very loving, but also selfish when it came to their own lives.
"What would you like us to do?" Ryuu asks, already having a bad feeling about going to search for his friend. Yondaime gets sudden look in his eyes as he looks at the boys.
"It's going to be difficult to find her. She's an expert at hiding and it will take a long time to track her down. We're going to need more than just you three to find her trail." Yondaime mutters more to himself than the boys as he starts to stare off into space.
"Who do you have in mind?" Raiden asks with a raised eyebrow. Yondaime smirks a little. He was the leader of the Akatsuki...he knew exactly who to use.
"Simple; I'll just call on those who I know won't say 'no' to me." His plan was being thought out in his mind. And he knew exactly who to use to find his daughter.
"Zetsu," Yondaime speaks out loud with his eyes closed, as though concentrating on sending his words out. Within moments, the green figure begins to form out of the ground, his yellow eyes flashing bright as he appeared.
"You called, Rei-dono?" Zetsu asks in his echoing and low voice as he stood before his leader.
"Gather them up...we're going on a hunt." Zetsu smirks at his leader's words, finding a double meaning in his words. Yondaime's eyes narrow at the green fellow.
"We are going to go and search for Sora." he adds as he sees the devilish look in Zetsu's eyes, but seems to falter at his leader's words. "You know the drill." Zetsu nods his head and slowly seeps back into the ground, leaving the three boys and leader to speak privately again.
"You three were taught to track, so this should not be a difficult task for you. Sora may be tricky to find, but you three are very close to her and have her trust. So she will most likely not run from you. If any of you have any trouble, call Zetsu with this." Yondaime speaks as he hands them a strange and small bag. Ryuu grabs it and begins to open it, but Yondaime stops him as he puts a hand on Ryuu's and shakes his head.
"Only open it when you really need help. Zetsu will know when you use this and will be able to find you in seconds, so use it wisely." he warns with a serious look. Ryuu nods his head and puts the bag in one of his large pouches around his belt.
"Now, Sora will most likely head towards Amegakure, the village hidden in the rain in the Land of Rain. There, she will be able to hide in the large forests they have, which will make it even harder for you to find her. But I believe that you three will be able to track her down. We will meet back here in two weeks if you have no luck." At that, Yondaime leaves within a blink of an eye, leaving the three boys a little lost as they glance to one another before slowly turning, heading off towards the land of rain.

When Orochimaru had returned back to his hideout, he was not happy one bit. Once again, the girl he was after had slipped through his fingers so easily, and it was driving him mad. The others had made sure to stay away from him since he was so angry with them. Once again, they were beaten, for the most part. And before they could even inflict any pain on her, she had disappeared in a blink of an eye. Tayuya was furious that her flute was now broken and now had to find a new one that was just as good.
"That little bitch...she's going to pay dearly. How dare she?!" Tayuya takes the two halves of her flute and clutches them in her hand painfully, growling in fury. Jirobo was over in a corner, resting his hurt back. He had almost broken one of his ribs from the impact of being thrown against a tree with immense force.
Sakon was in the same fury as Tayuya, gritting his teeth that he couldn't even lay a hand on the girl. She was good, he gave her that much, but to him, it still didn't prove she was better. Kidoumaru was still passed out, resting with many bandages all over his body from being stabbed with a kunai so many times. Sasuke was cleaning up his bloody lip that he had received from the girl he was beginning to go crazy over.
The only one who didn't get injured was Kimimaro. Some would say he was smarter, but the others saw it as weakness. Why hadn't he attacked the girl with his kekkei genkai? He could have possible tried to use his Shikotsumyaku, shooting at her barrier with his bones to see if it would weaken it. But he did nothing but stare and watch them do all the work.
"Damn it..." Sasuke growls to himself while he was sitting away from the rest of the group, cleaning up his lip that refused to quit bleeding. His heart was still pounding, more anger than usual flowing through him. The words Sora had spoken to him hit him hard and was causing him only fury.
*"I can't wait to go back to him...to feel his arms around me."* The words hung in his mind like a recorder that never ended. He snarls and punches the ground, his sharingan eyes glaring at the ground in fury as he lifts his knuckle to his face and watches as blood begins to seep from the cuts he had made.
"Sasuke, Orochimaru wants to talk to you." Sasuke doesn't even look up to Sakon as he spoke to him. He ignores him completely, an angry look on his face as he stands to his feet and ignores the curious looks as he walks out of the room to talk to Orochimaru.
When Sasuke walks into the large room where Orochimaru is sitting in his big chair, the snake fiend doesn't have a pleasant look on his face. He wasn't staring at Sasuke, but at the ground, just like Sasuke was only moments ago.
"You wanted to talk to me?" Sasuke asks emotionless as he stands before Orochimaru, making Orochimaru snap out of his world of anger and into a world of amusement.
"Sasuke, come closer." Sasuke does as he is told and walks up to Orochimaru. "Now, where shall I begin? Hm, I think we shall start off with your working process." Sasuke glances to Orochimaru from the side of his eyes, lifting an eyebrow slightly.
"Working process?"
"Yes, we need to get you stronger. Isn't that what you want?" Orochimaru was enjoying himself, watching Sasuke's eyes gleam with the thought of gaining great power. Sasuke tries to hide back the thought of gaining more power and merely nods his head. Orochimaru smirks again.
"But for what reason? Is it just to kill Itachi, or is it something more?" Sasuke turns to the side, hiding his eyes away from Orochimaru, gritting his teeth. Orochimaru chuckles at his reaction.
"It's something much more, I believe. You want something more...something more than Itachi's death." Orochimaru pauses for a moment to see if Sasuke was still gritting his teeth. He chuckles silently as Sasuke still was.
"You want Sora, don't you?" Orochimaru asks slowly, making sure Sasuke heard it loud and clear. Sasuke gasps a little as his eyes widen a bit. "Don't deny it, dear Sasuke. You have every reason to want her...to have her." Sasuke's eyes were wide, the thought of wanting Sora running through his mind like a freak train.
"Itachi stole her from you, Sasuke. He stole your family away from you, and now Sora. Take back what is rightfully yours. Sora was yours to begin with, and now Itachi has tainted her mind, telling her that you are the enemy. Just think of it, Sasuke; imagine Sora being only yours." Orochimaru knew his words were taking effect on Sasuke as his hands were now clutched into tight fists. Sasuke turns back to Orochimaru with a plain face, but determined eyes.
"When do I begin?" Orochimaru shows a true smile at Sasuke's words.
"Right now."
*******************************************************************************************************
As soon as I had left Ryuu, Jun, and Raiden behind, I had put my old favorite black cloak back on so that no one could see my face. For some reason, I was unable to turn back into my other form, my blonde haired form. I didn't understand it. Was it because I had barrowed chakra from Suzaku? I didn't get it. This would surely make things harder for me if I ran into any guys that saw me.
No matter what, each time I ran into a guy in this form, he would try his best to seduce me. Heh, as if that would ever happen. This was why I didn't trust men; their eyes were always clouded by lust when they saw me.
*Oh well, I guess it's a good time to hide away so that it's impossible for someone to find me. No doubt those losers went to my father to tell him I was running to hide away from the world. I wonder if they'll try to search me out. Probably not.* I always talked in my mind when I was alone. It was better than speaking out loud and answering back to yourself so that people saw you as crazy.
"I wonder..." I begin as thoughts of Itachi come flying into my head. I shake the thought quickly out of my mind, slapping myself for thinking about boys at a time like this. I wasn't going to see him for a while, so it would be better to just forget about him.
I close my eyes, ignoring all thoughts but getting to the land of rain safely, so that I could hide and train there until I felt it was safe.
"This is going to be a lonely trip." I mutter to myself. It suddenly felt strange to be alone. For the past couple of weeks, there was no such thing as being alone. I was always with someone almost every minute of the day, so now I had to get back into the feeling of being isolated from everyone.
I stare ahead of me through my cloak, determined to make it to Amegakure before someone could find me.
*************************~Four Days Later~****************************

I let out a tired sigh as I splash cold water from a river I had found on my face. I was restless; I couldn't find any sleep these past couple of days. I was always afraid someone was watching, ready to strike at me. I assumed this was what I got for feeling so secure when around the Akatsuki. Luckily for me, the land of rain wasn't far away from the land of the water fall, where the Akatsuki hideout was.
I let out another sigh as I take a seat next to the flowing river, taking my sandals off to put my feet in the cool water. I close my eyes, feeling as if it was the first time ever. It only took a few minutes before someone had found me. I open my eyes, recognizing the chakra of the owner.
"It's you..." the dark and cold voice speaks. I nod my head, not turning to stare at the person.
"Hello, Gaara." I acknowledge him as I keep my eyes closed. I could feel him walk up behind me, standing a few feet away.
"I'm surprised you noticed it was me." I speak in a plain voice, not sounding surprised at all. He doesn't speak for moments as I rest my eyes, enjoying the silence, only the sound of the river flowing.
I finally open my eyes, wondering why Gaara was just standing there. I turn my head to stare at him, with his tall and defiant posture, as usual. His arms were crossed over his chest as his blue eyes held nothing as they stared down at me. I blink a few times, letting him take in my different features.
I turn back around after a moment of a staring contest, giving up because I knew he would win.
"Why have you come?" I ask with a bare tone. Gaara doesn't respond and continues to stare at the back of my head.
"No offense, but I don't like being stared at all the time when in this form. So I suggest you come and take a seat next to me so we can talk." I mutter loud enough for him to hear me.
He hesitates for a moment, probably wondering if he should take me seriously. He slowly walks over to me and sits a couple feet away from me, staring into the river as I kept my eyes closed. I decide to try and spark up a conversation, finding it strange to have someone sit beside me with silence.
"Why are you so far away from Sunagakure?" This question caught Gaara's attention as he glances to me from the side of his eyes. My eyes open as I was surprised he was going to answer me. I guess he felt 'comfortable' around me...or at least more than others. Perhaps it was because we were so alike.
"Why have you changed?" I slump a little as those weren't quite the words I was hoping for him to use. I open my eyes and stare at the flowing water.
"I think I did a foolish thing. I went to the demon god inside of me and asked for power. It's starting to take effect on me, even though I try to change back into my other form. When in this form, men seem to be attracted to me...and usually end up dead...because of me." Gaara's emotionless eyes stare over me, wondering where I was going with this.
"Demon god?" he asks plainly. I nod my head a little while it was hanging slightly.
"You have a tailed beast locked inside of you...I have a demon god. Suzaku is the phoenix god who rules over the south...well, used to, at least. Before I was born, my mother and father didn't know how to get rid of the god. Suzaku was slowly turning into a creature that destroyed everything, just like the tailed beasts. Before this, Suzaku was a smart a dependable god, but something tainted his mind...and that's when he became a monster and began to tear everything apart." I pause as I try to hide all of the emotions in my voice.
"My parents were both strong shinobi and were asked to help take care of Suzaku. My father refused to let my mother help, for she had just had me only a day or so before. So my father went to go help out on getting rid of Suzaku, who at this time, had began to destroy Konoha. Countless days pasted, many people dieing because of this thing. My father decided he was the last hope for Konoha and decided to do the one thing he knew would end the destruction of Konoha...to seal Suzaku away...the very technique that killed the Third Hokage, and the seal that sealed the Kyuubi." I sigh as I close my eyes, having trouble speaking about this to someone. I never spoke about what was inside of me to someone, and it was harder than I thought it would have been.
"So your father died..." Gaara was assuming too much. I slowly shake my head, still looking away from him, afraid that he would look at me as if I was a freak.
"No, and that's what took everyone by surprise. The Death God, or Reaper, which ever you prefer, didn't take my father's soul. Instead of sealing it inside of himself, he sealed Suzaku inside of me. Now, all I have is this seal mark...to remind me of what is inside of me." I lift up my shirt to reveal my stomach, showing the curse mark on around my bellybutton.

Gaara stares at the seal plainly as I look over the seal as well.
"That's a seal?" he asks with narrowed eyes. I slowly nod my head, not understanding the seal myself. It all didn't make sense. No one knew how my father defied death...twice. And the seal that I had was nothing like Naruto's...or any other, for that matter. I glance to Gaara as he gasps and clutches his hand to his head, gritting in teeth as though in pain. He starts to breathe fast, looking as though he was having a heart attack.
"No...Not again." he whispers in a panicked and straining voice. I knew what was happening. I growl low, cursing myself silently. In the back of my mind, I could hear Suzaku laughing evilly. So it was him who was doing this to Gaara. I grab Gaara by the shoulders tightly so that I was staring at his pained face.
"Gaara! Don't listen to him! He wants Shukaku to get angry! Don't listen to him!" I yell loud, knowing that the voice in Gaara's head was just as loud as he grabs his head in pain. My teeth grit as I hear Suzaku's laughter grow louder in my head.
*You cannot help him, Sora. The beast inside of him wants out...and I shall help him gain his wish.* I growl louder as Suzaku's voice echoes in my head.
"Stop it, Suzaku!" I bellow out, letting go of Gaara's shoulders as he continues to grasp his head.
*I've got to get away from him. Maybe if I keep my distance, Suzaku won't be able to urge on Shukaku.* At that thought, I slowly begin to back away from Gaara as I stand to my feet, quickly putting on my sandals.
"I'm so sorry, Gaara. I never meant for any of this to happen." I apologize quickly before running as fast as I can away from the hurting boy, hurt stabbing my heart as I began to run.
*Running away again, Sora? Is this what you plan to do for the rest of your life? Hide away from all? I can help you...I can help you feel excepted.*
"Shut up!" I yell again as I continue to run as fast as I can through the woods, trying with all my might to ignore Suzaku's words as they rung in my head. My eyes were shut tight as I ran, wanting to get rid of the taunting voice in my head.
REST IN RESULTS
Click....>
I kept running faster and faster, as though someone was behind me.
*I will hide away so that no one can get hurt.* I hope in my mind that the plan would work, just like it had in the past.
*Don't you think people will miss you?* I cringe at Suzaku's words. He was trying to get me to go to people, just so that he could put wicked things in my head. Why now? Why was he doing this to me after all these years?
"I'm a missing-nin...that's my purpose...to be missing so no one can find me." I whisper to myself sadly as I jump up into the trees, trying to hide away the emotions that begged to come to my face.
I gasp loudly as I feel a sudden pain in my head, making me dizzy and begin see stars. My eyes are unable to keep open as the pain is massive and I fall to the ground from 15 feet in the trees, landing on my back when I hit the ground, falling into darkness, not knowing what had hit me.


I know, crappy ending to a chapter, but it's the best I could come up with. Woo! I'm on a roll this week! Well, I'll try my best to get the next one out soon!
Later!
