Thread: Bound by Blood (captain levi & Razz)

td xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx tdtd Sasuke was unaware of the fact that he had fallen asleep until he woke with a start when he felt something in his side. A jab of sorts, that hurt enough to have the boy jerking upright with a hiss as he clapped his hand over where the sensation came from while looking around in confusion. He was alone, and upon further inspection, his side was perfectly fine. And yet, something was definitely off . Panting softly from the startled awakening, Sasuke tried to relax a little as he took in his surroundings. He was still in the room, and despite the total darkness, he could see just fine. He supposed that was thanks to his awakening new abilities as a vampire. But what was this odd feeling that he couldn't seem to shake..? Confused, Sasuke blinked as he realized then that there was a sword in his arms. Was this what Itachi had wanted to give him? Sliding from the bed, Sasuke tenderly lifted the wakizashi and unsheathed it, his eyes lighting up and heart skipping a beat as his eyes grazed over where his name was imprinted on the sword. He wanted to admire it some more, but that weird pressure in his side only grew. It didn't hurt him, but it refused to go away, as if it were fighting for his attention. So, sheathing the sword, Sasuke moved to the window and shoved it open. He really had no idea what he was looking for he was driven on pure instinct.. until he inhaled deeply and smelt it. The scent was strong, and he knew it well despite it being a new scent to him. It was Itachi's blood. Instantly, Sasuke's sharp eyes narrowed and he all but lunged out the window and landed gracefully in the tree just outside. The cool night air kissed at his face and bare arms, blowing Itachi's scent ore in his direction, allowing the boy to easily assess where the scent was coming from thanks to his newfound abilities. He snarled, then, red eyes practically glowing in the darkness as the mere THOUGHT of Itachi being injured crossed his mind. He had only just barely been reunited with his brother, and he refused to let anything come between them. With haste, Sasuke jumped from the tree and made a dash in Itachis direction. It was a bit difficult to control his speed, but Sasuke had spent his life training and knew how to handle his own body and movements, so at least there was no chance of him running into a tree or getting caught on a bush. There was also the great help of his improved vision, allowing him to see the scene from a great distance opposed to needing to be right up in the action to know what was happening. It was Sakura, Naruto, and Sai and by the looks of things, Sai had stabbed Itachi in the side, and the three of them were attacking him at once. Rage was quick to boil over in Sasuke, bearing his dull fangs as, in a flash, he lunged between Sai and Itachi, sword drawn and easily blocking Sai's attack. S-.. Sasuke!! Sakura gasped, the three hunters faltering their advances and jumping back a little as shock overcame them. Sasuke had always been fast, but just then, his movements had been to quick for even Sai to pick up on. Not only that, but.. Sasuke, your eyes .. Sakura breathed, her voice quivering as she took in the blood red that swirled angrily in Sasuke's orbs. What the hell did he do to you, Sasuke?! Naruto stepped forward, growling as he glared over Sasuke's shoulder towards Itachi. Sasuke, however, hardly paid attention to Naruto's words as he turned to glance at Itachi with a worried look on his face. You alright..? Sasuke tried to keep his cool. He WANTED to rush over and see for himself if Itachi was okay or not, but Itachi wasn't about to die from one of Sai's pathetic attacks. It was surprising enough that Sai had landed a blow, but Sasuke chalked that up to all of his former 'comrades' attacking at once. Sasuke.. w.. what's going on here? Why are you worried about him ? He's the enemy-! Sakura began to speak again, but was cut short when, in the blink of an eye, Sasuke had gone from standing in front of Itachi to standing between the trio, blade pressed coldly against Sakura's throat as he glared into her eyes fiercely. The enemy is Danzo, and anyone who stands in my way. His words were dark and emotionless far different than the tone he used with Itachi. This had Sakura quivering with fear, hurt and confusion written all over her face. But.. why? Naruto and Sai glared at Sasuke now, but stood back, not wanting to trigger Sasuke into slitting Sakura's throat. Yeah, Sasuke. What the hell's come over you? Why is it that Danzo is suddenly the enemy?! We're your friends, damn it!! Naruto grit his teeth, glaring helplessly at Sasuke. A flash of anger twitched across Sasuke's features as Naruto so loosely used the term 'friends'. A 'friend' is someone who understands you. Someone you share a mutual bond with but you don't understand me, and we have no bond. Sasuke's words were calloused and flat. You never did, and you never will.. and if you value your lives, you'll go home, and never cross paths with me again. Letting his words sink in, he withdrew his sword from Sakura's throat and turned, stepping back towards Itachi. Sasuke, I don't really care who you consider your friend and who you don't. We have been given an order, and we intent to fulfill it. Sai's words were clear, and, as Sasuke turned to approach Itachi, Sai lunged in to attack. Sasuke was aware of his every movement, though. He could hear the folding of Sai's cloths, the air around his sword as he swung it.. he could hear the way Sai's heart was beating fast and hard in his chest, and the way his breathing seemed to grow shallow and quick as he made his attack. And Sasuke responded accordingly to these sounds, spinning around and ducking beneath Sai's sword while slicing forward with his own. He made a point to stab the waizashi exactly where Sai had stabbed Itachi, only deeper. He made sure to avoid hitting vital organs though, instead stabbing in through Sai's side between his ribs and watching as the tip speared clear through Sai's back. Sai screamed in pain as he flew back a few feet from the impact, landing on his side and curled in pain as blood began to pool around him. Sasuke just glared at him, watching the way Sakura and Naruto rushed to his side. He'll bleed out if you don't take him back quickly. So.. what will it be? Sasuke offered them an empty stare as he spoke, flicking his blade to rid it of Sai's blood. Sasuke.. you've become a monster. Naruto, whom was knelt beside Sai, said in an unusually quiet voice. He looked to Sasuke, and when he did, Sasuke recognized a look of pure horror on his face. Sakura as well, though she was busy with trying to stop Sai's bleeding. If you truly knew me, Naruto, you'd know I've always been one now leave. And if I ever see you again, I wont hold back. I will kill you. Perhaps this was for the best. A quiet part of him didn't truly wish to kill them, not at all. However, Sasuke was not one to let people get in his way. They might have considered him to be a friend, but he had never let them into his heart. It was easier to make them hate him then it was to try and get them to see his way. They would never understand and he had no interest in explaining himself to anyone. All that mattered now was Itachi. td
