"Sasuke!"
I turned behind to look at the source of the voice.
"What are you doing here, Sakura?"
She panted while trying to catch her breath. "I finally found you. I figured you would come here." The pink haired thief smiled sweetly at me while she wiped away the sweat rolling down her forehead.
"Do you know where your damned boss is?" I pointed my dagger at her throat.
She better not try to deceive me.
"Sasuke.. You don't have to do this now. I doubt he'll be stupid enough to return to his hideout." She grabbed the tip of my blade gently and pushed it away from her neck.
"It's worth checking out. Bring me there." I commanded sternly.
"Alright,alright.." She took the lead as I put away my dagger while following her.
We took off and left the town. And journeyed to Itachi's hometown. It took us three long days to reach this cursed place. It's also my hometown. Unlike me, Itachi stayed in the town we grew up at despite moving out. And I hated every second I had to be in here.
I walked through a painfully familiar market.
My memories flashed in front of my eyes, my mother and I, holding hands.. Picking out ingredients for our family's next meal.
And in the market, I passed by the toy shop that my parents would always come here to buy me presents.
I remembered it vividly.
It made my head hurt. I squeezed my temples.
My head was spinning.
Why did my parents die? How did they die? Where did they die?
The secrets Itachi kept from me.
I halted and clenched my fists in anger.
"Sasuke.. Are you alright?" She tapped my shoulder, confused by why I stopped suddenly.
"Let's just get this over with."
I continued making my way through this hellhole. Like I said, I hated every second I had to be in here. I hastened as my memories of my dead parents replayed in my head again and again. Like a cycle of torture.
Did Itachi have something to do with the death of our parents?
We arrived at the place of our destination. The only way here was through the sewer. I kicked open the door but expectedly, there was no one in sight. I rummaged the entire place and all I found was a torn up note on the floor.
I unfolded the crumpled up note on the floor. The note stated a place and a name.
Kakashi Hatake.
Wait a sec- I know where this place is.
It's my favorite toy shop my parents used to buy my toys from.
"Sasuke, did you find anything?" Her voice echoed the messed up place.
I nodded, "Let's go."
I hastily returned the market and dashed into the store. Sakura quickly chased after me.
*Ring*
As I opened the door, the door hit against the bell.
The recollections of the times I heard it while coming here with my parents stung my mind.
"Welcome! How may I help you?" A masked man approached me happily.
"I'm looking for a man named Kakashi Hatake." I replied coldly and directly.
The man returned to the front counter, "You're speaking to him right now."
I harshly pulled his collar towards me across the counter. With his body leaning towards me, I stared at him in the eyes and questioned. "Do you know who is Itachi Uchiha?"
"Of course. He's my regular customer."
He chuckled.
"Don't fuck with me. What exactly do you sell?! I know your toy store is just a front." One of my hand pulled on his shirt even more roughly nearer to me. And the other pulled out my blade and placing it against his neck.
"Sasuke!" Sakura called out nervously behind, warning me not to do anything rash. I signaled her to get out of the shop and she quietly obeyed, she knew best to listen especially when I lose my cool.
*ring*
"I know who you are. Itachi's baby brother." His smile turned into a smirk.
I have a bad feeling about this man..
He isn't as simple as he looked.
"I guess he never told you. But I am a supplier of weapons and drugs."
Weapons and drugs?
"Do you need some?" His palms held a middle finger sized glass tube with colored liquid inside.
I've seen them somewhere before.
I can't recall when..
