This is the story of the last three members of the Uchiha clan and their friends from other clans; eg. the Uzumaki clan.
Chapter 13 - The Nara Clan and The Kiss
Mammon had somehow managed to get his arms free and was now trying to get his legs untied so he could go and help out Mei. She was close to unconsciousness, but was just hanging on. She may seem weak to some people but boy, she was so not weak.
"Hang on Mei... Please" Mammon whispered, trying to get his legs free. He looked up, thinking that Hanzo would appear at any moment and tie his hands back up again, when he suddenly noticed that there wasn't just him and Mei there, there was also another girl - tied up, just like them. She wasn't as badly hurt as Mei, but she was hurt worse than him. Concerned, Mammon rushed to get free, wanting to help out both girls.
*************
Everyone else had gathered back at Naruto's house, wanting answers from Nagato. Itachi, however, was not entirely sure Nagato had ratted them out to Hanzo and gotten Mei and Mammon captured. There was something inside him that was telling him that the real traitor was still at large. Whoever they were, they were going to find out and make them - and Hanzo - pay for what they had done. Not just to Lilly, but to Mammon, Mei and anyone else they had taken.
Sasuke was playing with Lilly, keeping her occupied, while everyone else talked. However, it wasn't that easy because she knew it would be her birthday in 2 days and she was way too excited.
"Big bwrother, what going on?"
"Nothing you need to worry about, sis."
She sighed a little, quietly. "Okaies."
Sasuke smiled and hugged her gently. She hugged him back and looked up at him. She hadn't asked anything about her parents since she was able to speak, but today for some reason, she did.
"Where mommy and daddy?"
He gulped a little and looked at Itachi, hoping for help.
"They're away doing work."
"But they been gone for 2 years." She may have only been turning 4 in two days, but she was quite bright.
"They will be back sis." Itachi lied, looking away. Sasuke looked at his brother, not happy about him lying to her, but knowing that just now, it was the best thing to do.
***************
After hours of trying to get free, Mammon was eventually free and was now making sure that the two girls - Mei and someone else that he hadn't noticed before - were alright. He went to the girl who wasn't as badly hurt as Mei and started to heal her.
"I-I'm Mammon... W-What's your name?" He questioned, slightly shy and quiet - mostly, not wanting to talk normal in case Hanzo heard him.
"Momo." She said weakly.
"Nice to meet you. What clan you from?"
"Nara. P-Please help me find save my older brother, Jack, from Hanzo's control."
Mammon nodded. "Of course."
After he had healed, and set Momo free, he headed over to Mei and started to help her. Momo kept a watch out for any signs of Hanzo coming.
"M-Mei... You still with us?"
She managed to nod.
"Good.. You'll be fine soon." He continued to heal her, while trying to get her talking, so that he knew she was actually alright.
"Ma-Mammon...." She managed to weakly say.
"I'm here Mei and I'm not going anywhere."
"D-Don't leave..."
"I won't." He said, blushing lightly and leaned close to her, gently kissing her lips.
Mei blushed.
He kept healing her and looked away, blushing more. "S-Sorry...."
"I-It's okay." She smiled softly.
*************
Lilly's birthday was almost upon them, although, everyone else was too preoccupied with trying to locate and save Mammon and Mei. Lilly realized this and headed up to the room she had been staying in for the past two years.
As she entered her room, she sat on her bed, looking out of the window, as tears fell down her face. One question was running through her mind and it was causing her to cry; Where were her parents and were they alright?
Cecilia had noticed she had gone and headed upstairs. She gently knocked on the door and looked in. When she seen Lilly looking out of the window, she walked in and gently hugged her.
"What's wrong, sweetie?" Cecilia would always try act like a mother to Lilly.
"N-Nothing." She sniffled.
"Please tell me."
"I-I miss my mommy and daddy."
"They miss you too Lilly. Remember that."
Lilly nodded and continued to look out the window, she kinda felt like someone, somewhere, was watching her.
