Invincible - A Naruto Fanfic

Chapter Sixteen

This can't be real.

The hand squeezed tighter around my neck, my hands bound with his other hand. I felt weak, powerless against him.

Before Sasuke could make a move I felt myself lifted into the air, already being carried far away from him. He really had caught me. How could this have happened? His presence had come faster than I'd ever seen possible. Sasuke had begun to follow but was soon lost by us. He needs help, he can't do this alone. I can't do this alone.

Murakami carried me through the trees, dragging me unwillingly in his arms. What is with these two clans always kidnapping me? They seriously need to do something about this behavior!

"Let me go!" I try and worm out of his hold but he just clenches tighter, restraining me more.

It seemed to only take a few minutes until he decided we were far enough away from the town. Landing back on the ground he threw me against a tree, taking out rope to bind my body to the trunk. 

The ropes cut into my skin, already rubbing it red. He was being rough with me and all I could do was glare. Ryujin where are you!? I need you! Please! I closed my eyes and screamed out for him in my mind. I needed him more than ever now.

When I opened my eyes I examined the face of the man who I seemed to fear so much. Long purple hair with piercing pink eyes. He was tall, strong, and emanated a powerful darkness. I wouldn't doubt that he was handsome, but he was not someone I would ever want to be around with the evil presence I felt inside him. And everyone seems to think the Kyuubi's bad. But no, whatever thing he had inside him was far worse.

"Tsukiko Seiji," he said, my name dripping like venom as he spoke, "I've been searching for you for a long time." 

A smirk appeared on his lips, arrogant about his victory. I hated him. It was different than when I met Itachi, I didn't feel evil or darkness come from him. However, this man didn't have a single ounce of good in him. I don't know how he became like this but he is pure evil and he radiated that fact proudly.

"Kira Murakami," He says as I didn't respond only glaring at him, "I'm sure you have a lot of questions."

"Not any I want to ask you," I spit in his face, my eyes trying to show no fear, no weakness.

"Fiery, aren't you?" He laughs as he wipes his face, "But we can change that."

I tried not to be intimidated by his words yet I knew he sensed my fear. But I am Tsukiko of the Seiji Clan! I will not be toyed with, I have never allowed anyone to toy with me and I won't let that happen now. I have not struggled through everything I have until now just to give up and cave into Kira Murakami. He is just one single evil bastard.

"But I'm sure you would like to know about your past, am I wrong?" He crouches down in front of me so we're eye level, "If you want I can tell you about how your poor family was destroyed, your identity stolen from you." 

He was egging me on, but it did pique my interest, I couldn't lie about that. Of course, I want to learn about my past, but this was the first I heard of an identity crisis. What does this man know?

"Interested?" He asks taking a strand of my hair in his hand. Leaning in he whispers in my ear, "I have the answers you want."

"Then talk," my voice came out as barely a whisper.

"Well, whats the fun in that?" He asks and my face turns hard. He wants something in return. "Of course, I want something too." 

I contemplated what he could ask for. The only real guess I had was to do about the contract, or more specifically marriage. I really hope that isn't the case though.
