When Sparks Fly

Bloody Leaf

Last time:

Alt lost both virginities that night.

XXXXXXXXXX

"You know, Alt hates it when you don't clean up what's left of your volunteers." A sighed as he stepped around the mess of blood and chunks of flesh.

The blonde pouted, "That's boring, I only like playing with them." D said as he poked the skinned carcass attached to a metal table.

A sighed, "Well, don't say I didn't remind you. Come on, we have some things to discuss." The two left the blood soaked chamber and went to A's office.

D was talking with A about the usual trade agreements when a messenger ninja entered the room.

"Raikage-sama, there is a message from the hidden leaf." The ninja said as he handed A the note and left.

D watched A as he read the note, "What does it say?"

A frowned, "The hokage of the village Hidden in the Leaves has invited us to this years Chunin exam ... maybe we should accept."

The crazy blonde frowned, "I agree, we should support our genin but a personal invitation makes us wonder what Minato wants ... Alt?"

The Raikage raised an eyebrow, "What's up, D?"

D blinked, "Alt was upset by what we said and just locked himself in our mind ... my tea is in there! It will get cold! Alt, come on! Let me back in!"

Some part of him wanted to ask, but A decided against it, he might go insane too.

XXXXXXXXXX

Once D returned home he saw Omoi and C waiting for Alt, both were surprised to find him instead, "Alt locked himself in our mind and refuses to come out."

"He what? Why?" A concerned C asked.

"Konoha sent an invitation to their Chunin Exam and A and I said it would be a good idea to go at least to support our teams then Alt locked me out! My tea is getting cold!" D huffed.

Alt's boyfriends sweat dropped at D's comment, "That isn't what's important right now, D, and you can't blame Alt for freaking out" C said.

Omoi nodded, "Yeah. Besides, if the Raikage wants Alt to go then I'm going too so it's not like he'll be alone."

The change in the posture was almost instant, Alt came out, "You will go with us?"

C smiled and pulled the blonde into a hug, "We're both going."

XXXXXXXXXX

The Cloud group approached the impressive wooden gates of Konoha and was stopped by the guards.

The first guard bowed respectfully to the Raikage, "Raikage-sama, would you and your guards follow me. The Hokage wishes to speak to you."

A gave a suspicious glance at the guard, (D did think something was off. Guess Minato does have ulterior motives.) He thought before looking at his men, "Alt, C, Darui, Bee, you are with me, Yugito, Omoi, make sure our genin get settled and behave." A few of the genin twitched.

XXXXXXXXXX

The hokage and his impatient wife, Kushina, waited for the Raikage's arrival.

"What's taking them so long? Do we have to do this? Are you sure this will even work, honey? Isn't there another way?" The anxious redhead asked.

"With any luck this will work, I know you don't like Cloud, but they have what we need." Minato smiled as he saw A and his bodyguards enter the room, "Hello, Raikage-sama. It's been a while ... I'm surprised Bee isn't with you."

A blinked and whirled to find that Bee was, in fact, gone. His face became red with anger as a vein in his neck popped out, "GODDAMMIT, BEE!" He screamed before turning to his bodyguard who was wearing a white face mask with a yellow zigzag down the center, "Where is he, Alt?"

The mask wearing guard was silent for a second and then said, "He is at the unholy den of ill repute, sir."

Kushina was pissed and was about to on a rampage to kill the perverted Cloud ninja when A turned to her and asked, "Where's your nearest ramen stand?" A question that made the two Leaf ninjas faceplant. After Minato picked himself up he told them where the nearest ramen stand was and A sent Darui to watch Bee meaning they could finally get down business. "Now, what is this all about, Minato?" asked A.

Minato smiled, "I wanted to discuss making a peace treaty between our villages." A raised an eyebrow, he wondered if there was more to this, but he listened anyway. No one was aware of an mental battle going on between the two personalities in the masked Cloud ninja's head.

(I'm serious, D. The things know!)

From deep inside their shared mind D said, "Calm down, what makes you think that, Alt?"

(The red thing hasn't stopped staring at us since we came in. They know. They know and they are going to drag us back!) D could feel Alt begin to panic and swapped places with him.

A saw the subtle change in posture and knew D took over, "Glad you could join us, D. What do you think of the hokage's proposal?"

D looked at the two confused Leaf ninja, "What's wrong? Haven't you to heard of split personalities? To answer your question, Raikage-sama, I am positive this treaty is a farce to get Alt's tracking abilities."

Kushina stood up so fast that her chair was knocked over, "Please help us! We just want our child back."

Minato picked up her chair helped his sobbing wife sit down, "Your advisor is right. I'm sorry we didn't tell you everything, but we want to find our son and we tried everything else. When we heard about Alt's talents we just ..."

"Felt like there was no other choice?" D offered and Minato nodded.

A sighed, frankly he didn't care if they were upset since he believed they deserved it for hurting a child, "I will only consider letting Alt help you if we are allowed some information on your son."

They both looked guilty and nervous, but Kushina and Minato agreed. D held out his hand and made a small worm out of lightning, "This is a digital worm. It jumps into the digital plain and collects information." The bug hopped into the light on the ceiling and returned a second later.

C gave A a computer and D placed the worm on it making a file pop up. D paused for a brief second to ask Alt permission to let them view the footage. From deep inside their shared mind Alt allowed it so D clicked play.

Only 10 minutes into the hour long movie A was ready to burn the village down to the ground by himself, "Tell me, why should I have my ninja help you find and drag your son back to the very people who he hurt him?" He growled

Minato tried to argue, "We didn't know-"

"YOU'RE A FUCKING KAGE! How could you not know that your entire village was torturing your son? Did you ever care enough to ask where his injuries came from or did you just not see the blood splattered on every inch of him? My answer is no, I won't have my men drag a child back to this hellhole when he's probably happier and safer wherever he is!" The Raikage roared before storming out of the room with his guards in tow.

When they reached the hotel A turned to D, "Did the worm work?"

"Yes, all their systems are infected." D said before a slight shift in posture signaled that he let Alt take control.

A looked at Alt, "Are you ok?" Alt nodded silently, "Good, these fools won't hurt you again, got it?"

"Thank you, A." Alt said as A left leaving Alt and C alone, "C, is something wrong?"

C, who was shaking in anger at what he saw, pulled Alt into a hug, "I will not let you suffer."

Alt smiled from behind the mask, "I love you, C"

During this cute fluffy moment D was plotting how carve up any possible attackers. He was having trouble deciding between the classic rusty knife and his new blowtorch., As a bonus he was also making a list of things to do to Kushina and Minato just in case they try anything.
