They stepped inside the old home, unsure of what was happening. The house had already had a creepy aura, but Chikako just made it worse. She seemed eager to tell us what had happened but she was silent. Kazuki stared into space waiting for Chikako to gather herself, and tell them what was wrong.
"He's here" she burst out all of a sudden.
"What?" Kazuki was puzzled "Who's here?"
"Rumara. Rumara is inside Konoha and has already started to tear it apart. He has even killed several people in Konoha."
"Why haven't you told ANBU (Ninja special ops or police) about this?" he said with badly suppressed anger.
"I'm sorry. They have killed the people and disguised themselves as their victims. They are wearing their victims clothing to cover the scent. I would have reported this but they could have already gotten to the authorities. I tried it anyway but i was stopped. If I tried to fight back I would be considered a rouge."
"No its fine, I'm sorry, its just that I have something to settle with Rumara. So who tried to stop you?"
"Kazuki" she said softly,"it was Akemi and Kino."
"No," Kazuki said in disbelief "Wait. When did this happen?"
"Right before your mission Kazuki"
"No," he said again. "He would have had to kill them, and they wouldn't go down that easily, or quietly either."
"There is a possibility be they are under threat. Rumara has killed five people so far. He could have threatened to kill their family and loved ones. They couldn't fight back because they would also be considered rogues."
"Right," he said with mixed feelings. His squad was most likely alive, but are definitely involved. "How can you tell how many people are dead?"
"The bodies were in a old warehouse, burnt beyond recognition. They aren't there any more though." She replied
"Why are you telling me? Couldn't I be one of Rumara's subordinates?" He said.
"Kaji is always by your side, and there were no dogs in the pile of corpses. You couldn't be one of them."
"If Rumara is in the city, I should be dead by now. We were attacked by Rumara's men, and would have easily been finished off. Kakashi appeared later with a pursuit team to follow them, but they would have had plenty of time to finish me off." He reasoned. Just then he heard a creek come from the roof. He started to take note.
"Kakashi is back already? Shouldn't he be back in about a week?" There was a pause. Chikako didn't like the look on Kazuki's face. His black hair was spread down on his face. His grey jacket was torn and his clans symbol was ripped off. Kazuki was petting Kaji who was laying down next to him. Kaji's red eyes stared at the floor, he was worried as well. Suddenly Kazuki cursed quietly. Chikako looked at him disapprovingly, she hated swearing. "Whats wrong?" she asked.
"Kakashi isn't back yet." He said bluntly
"What?" She nearly screamed. "How do you know that?"
"Kakashi shouldn't be back. And he had a five man pursuit squad. He wasn't overpowered, but they are using the opportunity of his absence to get control of the higher ups."
"What will happen if Kakashi comes back the village will be able to figure it out then, right?" she said hopefully.
"By then dozens of people will have been replaced, and they could take out
even Kakashi with their huge element of surprise"
Her remaining color quickly left her already pale . "Our ancestors help us" Chikako whispered. "We need a miracle to get out of this alive. I'll heal those wounds but after that you should leave. But stay in the village, no matter what. If your caught alone he will kill you."
*creek* There it was again. "We need something to let each other know we haven't been killed yet. I can hold fire in my hand, no sound ninja can do that"
" That's a good idea. I can show you one of my healing techniques, they are nearly impossible to copy."
"Then its settled. Thanks for healing me, and your right i do need to go. Bye"
"Bye"
Kazuki left Chikako's house started straight home. Kazuki and Kaji were in full alert. Nothing was going to get near them. As they passed the hospital a doctor ran out to meet him.
"Kazuki do you have a minute?"
"Sure, what do you need."
"I need you to stay at the hospital tonight. You see, some of the patients don't feel safe there without the guards and they are out tonight. They would be very grateful if you would stay at the hospital with them."
"Thats sounds good, I'll help out, but what do I do if someone does come. I can't fight in there."
"No one will come. Its just to help the patients relax."
"Then I'll do it, let me just get my stuff and I'll be right over."
"Thank you, i appreciate this a lot Kazuki"
Chikako got ready for bed. Relived that she had some one on her side. There was a loud creek that came from the roof. Chikako looked around and decided it was nothing. Right before she got into bed, there was a loud thud. She spun around just to see it was only the book that she placed on the edge of her desk.
"I thought you wouldn't tell Chikako." Said a sinister, hissing voice that came from behind Chikako. "you've been a bad girl"
She spun around to meet the eyes of Rumara. He was pale and had yellow eyes that could freeze you in place. He never blinked and his eyes where always wide open. There was silence as blood slowly painted the floor red.
