Stories of us humans, vampires and other freaks

Part Seven –kakashi-

Bang!

That must have been Sasuke; he has no respect for doors. They are made out of trees and trees have feelings, I think. Sasuke didn't sound too happy, he was cursing up a storm. In fact he was using word I don't recall teaching him. Oh well, I suppose it is my 'responsibility' to find out what was wrong with him. I just hope he doesn't throw a chair at me like he did last time.

"Something troubling you Sasuke?" I found him pacing around the foyer. That Sakura girl must've said something to Sasuke, something really horrible and unfriendly like. He stopped his antsy footwork and looked straight up at me. I had a bad feeling about this.

"He killed her parents, Kakashi. He's killed more people. But why? I don't understand! Was he not satisfied with mom and dad? Why did he kill them? They were innocent people taking care of their daughter!"

"Sasuke, you need to calm down. I'll have one of the maids fix you up some tea."

"Not everyone's problems can be fixed up with some damn tea you know!" He started pacing again, much faster than earlier. I began to ponder if he was talking about him.

"I understand Sasuke, but need to get a grip of yourself! Anger will only cause you to make a stupid decision you will later regret! Now let's go to the kitchen, get you some tea, and explain what it is you're talking about." He nodded. He followed me to the kitchen. Somehow, I believe he knew that I knew what this whole thing was about. As we entered the kitchen one of the maids had tea ready for us. Something tells me she was dropping in on our conversation. She gave an innocent smile and trotted away as if nothing happened, how cute. Sasuke made his way to closest chair. I on the other hand decided to stand, I hated these kitchen chairs. It was quiet for a few minutes before Sasuke spoke.

"I went to Sakura's house like I said I would."

"Yes, I know."

"I saw Tsunade there. You remember her, she was on the council."

"Oh yes, I remember her." I said in a tone that Sasuke frowned upon. He knew I was playing.

"You pervert." I guess he knew I was talking about her…figure. But again he knew I was just playing around.

"So I guess she was your vampire that you were searching for." Sasuke nodded. This wasn't what he wanted to talk about. "What did she say?"

"Well after abandoning the council she went to the artic zone. That same day she found Sakura and adopted her." We were getting close to the problem.

"Really, then I'm not surprised Sakura is still human. If was born there, that would mean she was protected from the mutation. The Artic Zone is very cold and forms of life are zero to none."

"Yeah, I know, but before Tsunade said this Sakura told me about her parents. She told me that they were murdered."

"Hmm, well I'm sure it was no native, but that's why we are here. I'm pretty sure you have an idea of who the killer is." I felt like I was holding my breath. The look on Sasuke's face made it clear that my instincts were correct.

"Yes I do. She said the man who killed her parents had red eyes. There is only one person who could have red eyes other than myself."

"Agreed. If this murderer had red eyes, then there is no mistaking it." Sasuke was trembling. I don't know how long he can hold his composer.

"It's him Kakashi! It's Itachi! I know it's him! That bastard!" He rose up from his seat, banging his fists on the table. I saw how the marble table collapsed under pressure. It is things like this that remind me just how powerful Sasuke is.

"Sasuke relax. I know it was him. We have to keep calm. We still don't know where he could be."

"But Kakashi he-"

"Yes I know. According to your friend Itachi was at the artic zone correct?"

"Yes."

"Tsunade left the council three days after your parents were murdered. That same day Sakura was found. Assuming the time differences is minimal, that means your brother made his way to the artic zone in three days."

"So? What's your point?" Sasuke finally managed to cool down. That was a good sign.

"Well a normal vampire takes about a week to get there. This proves of his speed, meaning he could be anywhere by now. That is why I need you to calm down." Sasuke hesitated before he spoke again.

"Sakura said she can't remember everything that happened that day. She says that something is blocking her memory."

"Knowing Tsunade, she must've blocked off the traumatic experience."

"If we remove the block will she remember everything?"

"It's plausible. Tsunade's abilities are still unknown. I'm afraid I don't know what kind of block was placed in Sakura's mind." I thought for a moment. Sasuke looked very disappointed. "Just because I don't that doesn't mean that someone else doesn't." I accidentally said. Sasuke's face lit up again, that can't be good.

"Really? Who would know about it?" damn it all.

"Well I know one person who could. The thing is we can't see him now. We don't have time for it."

"yeah we do. I have winter break coming up."

"Excellent, we will use your break to track this man down." I said pretending to agree with him. I can't have him find this man.

"Track him down? Is he missing?"

"Oh no, nothing like that. He's nomadic; he doesn't stay in the same spot twice. Finding him won't be easy." I said trying to disappoint him.

"Okay. I still want to find him in hopes that he will lead me to the answer I've been searching for." Sasuke looked more determined than ever. With the help of this girl, Sakura, she will lead Sasuke down a road I've been trying to steer him from. I hope we will not find this man. In doing so he will lead Sasuke back to Sakura and she will lead him down to Itachi. When he finds him Sasuke plans on taking revenge for his family. I don't need him to go down like that. I have to stop him at all cost, even to my last dying breath. That is what I was sworn to do and I will keep to my word.

"Well now, It's getting late and you need to sleep a little for school tomorrow."

"I know, I'll go get some rest."

"Sasuke, I hope you know what you're doing."

"I know exactly what I'm doing." The problem is he doesn't. He doesn't now what he's getting himself into. I have to end this before it begins.
