The Heirs

Chapter 17

*Luna's POV*

Lord Danzo had taken a seat opposite from her. "So what brings you here, of all the places in the world ?" She twiddled her thumbs nervously. Danzo stared at her intently "Kallista dropped out." The words rang in her head. "Really? That's weird I saw her this morning during the exams..." The room felt even emptier than before. "In the end she wasn't up for it. Such a waste." Silence stretched between them. "Ooh that's... quite unfortunate." Danzo nodded once before standing. "From now on you'll be a full fledged Anbu black-ops. I expect you to be in the barracks tomorrow morning before dawn. This place will be used for new recruits." She tensed before bowing down "Yes sir." When she looked up again Danzo had disappeard.

"Is there anything that you'll bring with you to the barracks? Or will you leave everything behind?" "I'll bring a couple of my books with me and some clothes. I didn't have anything here anyway." Deli just looked at her with a knowing look in her eyes. She had probably sensed the loneliness within her. She sauntered over to her bed and grabbed some of her books, the ones that had tales of heroic knights and some about various jutsu and chakra control. Stuffing them inside her bag she threw clothes on top. Straightening she swung her bag over her shoulder and left the cottage. She didnt look back.

In the barracks everything was silent, the occasional anbu came and went but for most of the time nothing moved. Trudging to her new room she glowered at the piss poor lock. Everyone who had a little skill at picking the locks could enter! Unbelievable. She shook her head Am I really supposed to reinforce the lock? An anbu mask lay on her desk together with the required anbu clothes. Well at least they made sure that I could start at a moments notice. Deli stared at her "Everything's clear. I havent smelled anyone entering the room except for the one who has his stench all over your new clothes." If Deli had been human she would have crinkled her nose in disgust. Luna grinned at her.

*Alecs POV*

Gripping the upper branches he pulled himself upward. Leaving his cave hadnt been easy, not only because there were still scouts out searching for them, for him. But also because he hadn't wanted to alert one of the anbu. He stared at his little sister who was casually burning a man alive. A shudder ran through him, she had changed. For her survival it was necessary but if this continued, her own personality would shatter, leaving a killing machine behind. I have to do something before this goes out of hand. He tightened his grip on the branch. After a stand-down between his sister and the proctor she disappeared. He didnt try to follow her, knowing that he couldn't. Please make friends, ones that you can count on and will keep you safe and sound. His own dragon Strevia stared at him "She'll be fine. You worry too much." Running a hand through his hair, he attempted to calm himself. Somewhere in the back of his mind he knew she was right even though that didn't erase his anxiety. You're right. Lets go before we'll be spotted by either the anbu or the scouts. Jumping down he vanished.

*Uncle Bartels POV*

Sitting on his self-made throne always filled him with happiness. The throne had always belonged to him, not to his little brother and his wife. A knock on the door startled him out of his fantasies. Who's there? Its the scouting scout sir. May I enter? Sitting up straighter he smiled "Of course. Please enter." The door opened to let a small woman through, her hair hung in greasy strings and her clothing was nothing more than a sack. Well I hope you bring good news rat, for you're smudging the floor. The woman shuffled her feet uncomfortably. I'm sorry for that, please forgive me sir. He stared at her with disdain. "Spit it out. What kind of information do you have?" She flinched visibly I come here to inform you that the prince--- "Dont you dare call him a prince ! He is nothing more than common filth who roam the streets. He is no longer your prince or anything else than a traitor!" The woman cowered, I am truly sorry. I- I didnt know. He flexed his hand before standing. "I am the head of this clan, or have you forgotten?!" Before she had a chance to speak, he hit her. She gasped "I-I havent sir, please spare me!" He sat down, waiting. "I-I saw him walking. I tried to follow him but maybe he scented me, for he just vanished." A muscle started twitching in his jaw. "You mean to tell me that you have spotted him, but instead of killing him he just vanished?!" with every word he said his volume increased. Before she could blink he was standing in front of her. "Please I--" He ripped her heart out. "Take her away, and FIND those two!"
