Following the hidden trail

i walk over

and put my hand on her shoulder" crying wont bring him back" i say softly

i put my hand on his stomach and it iluminates yellow "c'mon c'mon....get up get up" i say inpatiently

"He asked me to help and I did all I could."

Suigetsu glares at Raiden. "YOU ARE GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!!!' He swings his giant sword around.

i catch it

"i didn't do anthing" i yell at suigetsu

"i know you helped but....."i feel blood run down my face as i realise suigetsu has just punched me

I sob helplessly."Why..why am I such a weak little kid...Why couldn't I save just one person?!"

"Yes you did! And if I don't kill you Karins gonna try and I don't want her getting hurt!" Suigetsu runs at him

i wipe the blood off my head vand hold nami in close "your not a weak little kid your strong you just dont know it yet" i say feeling the cold tears from her eyes dripping on my leg

but then i see sasuke's finger move

I don't notice but continue sobbing.

"Die both of you!!"

i make a handsign round the back of nami sending suigetsu through the air

"S-Sui?"I freeze.

Suigetsu lands hard. "Fuck you!!!"

I stand up and pick Sasuke up."Suigetsu...."

Suigetsu runs at Raiden. "DIE ALREADY YOU FUCKING EVIL BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!"

I stand in front of Raiden with Sasuke in my arms."Stop..."

"WHY SHOULD I?!'' Suigetsu tries to summon a snake but all that comes is a tiny one that says "Who are you?"

"We need to help Sasuke...please..."I ignore the snake.

"Raiden is going to die first!!" And to the snake "um... suigetsu. who are you?"

Snake: mandas son
"well why don't you get manda?"
snake: he wont listen to you. he only listens to master sasuke
"Oh. great. well... bite him." Suigetsu points at raiden.

I sigh and stand still.

snake: no.

"aww man! i hate snakes!!!!" Suigetsu throws it into the forest.

I gasp and glare at Suigetsu."You're cruel."I set Sasuke down again and summon my own snake."At least I take care of them."

"Well they're impossible! and how do you know how to summon them??"

I roll my eyes."I know very well how to do plenty of things you don't.And btw,this one listens to anyone."I pick Sasuke up again.

"Only orochimaru taught people how to summon snakes. And orochimaru is dead or we would not be here."

I shrug."And I care?"

''he was your sensei... right?"

"Yeah."I sigh and the snake disappears."Some sensei he turned out to be."

"yeah but some people likes him. Like Kabuto. and Jugo..." Suigetsu trails off. "I need to tell you something. Jugo told me to keep it a secret but i cant anymore. jugo is really upset about what happened to orochimaru. he almost didn't join snake because of what happened. but he thought it would be a good way to get revenge for orochimarus death. he's teaming up with kabuto and during the mission they are planning on killing someone.''

I glance down at Sasuke."Why didn't you tell me before?"

"Because i promised jugo i wouldn't. i didn't want to betray him... although i've betrayed everyone else.''

"....That's friendship for you."I murmur to myself."Always popping up when it's not needed."

"Yeah. i hate jugo. i really do. but i wanted to make ihm happy because when he's mad he's really dangous. i didn't want him to kill me. jugo is not someone you want for an enemy, trust me. i've seen what he can do.''

I nod."I guess it's hard not to be afraid of someone like him...If I knew him better I'd probably be quivering in his presence."

"Yeah.''

I smile slightly."You're a really nice guy once someone gets to know you."

"I guess. but now i've betrayed everyone.''

"True.But you're not hardened around the heart like others,you're still sweet and kind."I continue to smile.

''thanks"

"Np...now come on,let's get Sasuke outta here."I pause."We can come back later and you can do whatever you want but right now we gotta help him."

I blink and open my eyes.

I gasp."You're alive!"

"y-yes"

I squeeze him into a hug.

I hug her back. "Oww"

"Sorry."I let him go.

"I-its okay." I cough a little. "Nami... i'm sorry. I should not have tried to kill him." I start crying. "Is everyone okay?"

"We're fine."I smile and it quivers.

i put my finger into the stab wound and feel my bone

"no im not...remember sword through the chest" i stand there blood dripping on the floor from my mouth

"Shit!Sui take Sasuke for a second."I hand him Sasuke before he could reply and I'm immediately by Raiden's side.
