Shasta Wild; Mouse
All the good monsters open their eyes
To see the wasteland where the home fires rise
And the people shouting, "Why, why, why"
Do you know what you are?
Do you know what you are?
All the giants wake from their sleep
And roll outside of safety's keep
And the pain makes them feel so alive
Do you know what you are?
Do you know what you are?
We are bored of all the things we know
Do you know what you are?
Do you know what you are?
Not all monsters are bad
But the ones who are good
Never do what they could, never do what they could
Shasta was slowly healing from her spinal injury. She had permanent nerve damage. Good thing she didn't plan on running a marathon; she wouldn't be able to. She still had to use a cane, which she loathed. She felt as if her freedom had been taken away. And now she was all alone. Nobody was there for her except for her faithful dog. She leaned against the railing of the corral and watched the horses.
Mouse sat next to Shasta, wagging his tail.
All the good monsters rattle their chains
And dance around the open flames
They make a lot of empty noise
While all of the bright eyes turn away
As if there wasn't anything to say
About the justice and the mystery
Do you know what you are?
Do you know what you are?
We are bored of all the things that we know
And we are forms of everything we love, we love..
If good won't show its ugly face,
Evil won't you take your place?
Nothing ever changes, nothing ever changes
By itself
We are bored of all the things that we know
Do you know what you are?
Because we are so in love with ourselves
We are forms of all the things we love
- 'Good Monsters' - Jars of Clay
Sasuke Uchiha
Sasuke had his hands shoved deep into his pockets as he walked through the place.He watched the horses and people with his only eye and then they landed on shasta.She was familar but who was she? Or rather who did she usually hang out with? On his right shoulder perched a golden eagle who watched them as well.His brother had told him to stay put or atleast have kakashi or zabuza with him at all times but he didn't follow rules very well and didn't care to.
Shasta Wild; Mouse
Shasta didn't notice Sasuke at first. She was lost in her thoughts. What was to become of her? Would she be alone forever? What was her purpose here? Tears were brought to her eyes when she thought of her ailing mother. She let her forehead rest on the railing as the tears fell down into the snow.
Mouse tilted his head, looking up at his master with soft eyes.
Sasuke Uchiha
Sasuke stopped not too far from her and leaned against the same railing she was on.He placed his elbows on it and let his hands dangled.His eagle hoped onto the railing and moved to the girl and looked at her. This eagle was a kind eagle no matter who her owner was.She stared at her her eyes soft and kind.Sasuke glanced over and then looked to the sky. His life what was he ment to do? He was unsure and getting pretty fed up with fighting. He still wanted his revenge on ethan but that might never come....
Shasta Wild; Mouse
Shasta raised her head and looked at the eagle. Her brown eyes held no expression. Apparently, this bird had been socialized to people, as she didn't seem to mind being so close to a human. The eagle's owner must be around here somewhere. Shasta turned her head to see Sasuke. At first, she was ready to whip out her gun and fire, but he didn't seem to be a threat today. She simply stood there, stiff. "Hello?" Came her voice. She trembled not only from the cold, but from fear.
Mouse stood ready.
Sasuke Uchiha
He wasn't in the mood for fights.He had his sword but that was just in case.Neji had not returned from the police station and sasuke had a vague feeling he would loose an eye or somethin.When shasta spoke he reckonized her voice but he didn't jump to defense like he usually did.He looked slightly over.Hihe spoke no emotion leaking out.
Goldy stayed near the girl looking at her.She made to nudge her.
Shasta Wild
Shasta was tired of fighting. She couldn't do this anymore. She was tired of all these battles with her dead brother's gang. She didn't say anything for a while, nor did she make eye contact. Only after she was startled by Goldy's touch did she speak up. "What...what are you doing here?" She was worried that Sasuke was here to kill her. She knew that Jesse would be back soon as well. She just hoped that he wouldn't find her here.
Sasuke Uchiha
He watched her then looked back to the sky and let out a long sigh.Then he heard her.getting away from my overly protective brother who treats me like a baby and acts like i can't defend myselfDidn't hurt to tell the truth. His brother treated him like a kid never acknowleding his strength which agitated Sasuke a great deal. Maybe thats what pushs him on to stay with his brother and fight so maybe one day he'll be a strong person well someone his brother consisders strong and maybe then if he could beat that person just maybe then his brother would Acknowledge him.
Goldy let out an eagle cry and then hopped back towards sasuke.
Shasta Wild; Rachel Parker
Shasta sighed. "Oh." That was all she said before she noticed somebody else.
Rachel stood a good distance away from Shasta. "Jesse sent me to retrieve you. You know, Sam died, and we're going to need to replace him." She taunted.
Sasuke Uchiha
Sasukes eyes move to rachel now.Even if his brother was allied with them he still didn't like them especialy this girl and that guy.If i'm correct Shasta is it? You don't want to go to jesse?He spoke looking to rachel with a smirk. She would probably know that he didn't care for the treaty so this shouldn't hurt his brothers treaty and if it did then well sasuke be black and blue.Sasuke stood up now.Hmm Your alone bitch you want say that shit you said to me back at the cafe?He spoke his eyes narrowed.
Shasta Wild
Shasta stared straight at Rachel. "Good. His time to go was 24 years ago." She replied spitefully. She then looked at Sasuke. "No. He wants to kill me." She stated, shivering.
Rachel looked at Sasuke. "We're supposed to be allies, cyclops. And Wild needs to die." She shot back.
Sasuke Uchiha
He nodded to shasta.Then turned to rachel.He snorted.Thats my brother silly. I never liked it from the start especially since you keep calling me cyclops. I don't take well to insultHe hissed now withdrawing his sword.His lip twitched.
Shasta Wild
Shasta looked at Sasuke, then at Rachel. "Shove off, bitch." She snapped.
Rachel sneered at Shasta before looked back at Sasuke. "Too bad. If you're a freak, you're going to be insulted." She shot back arrogantly.
Sasuke Uchiha
His lip twitched.Time to learn your place! ITs not my damn fault i'm missing an eye you cunt!He snarled and now ran at rachel sword ready to be swung. He wouldn't take these insults.apparently no one taught you manners.I may be 17, I may only have one eye that is red with black dots but you know what i've been gifted with manners unlike youHe snarled and as he drew closer he lashed at her.Goldy screeched and took flight and cirlced above.
Shasta Wild
Shasta pulled her gun, aiming it at Rachel. "Run away, little freak!" She shouted.
Rachel was outnumbered and she knew it. She wasn't stupid. She turned around and darted away.
"Coward..." Shasta said under her breath as the woman fled.
Sasuke Uchiha
He watched her flea and then put his sword away.His eye watching her.Another reason my brother wants me with someone at all times i'm quickly angeredHe snorted.Great and now that jesse's gang knows what i just did they'll probably tell my brother and then he'll be doubly pissed...He snorted and leaned against the railing again.He stared at the sky again.Shasta may be friends or even a part of the ATHA but unlike them he didn't hold others accountable for ethans doings. Shasta at the moment posed no threat to him so he had no reason to attack her.
Shasta Wild
Shasta shook her head. "If anyone asks, Parker attacked first. You were just defending yourself." It surprised her that she was being friendly toward a major enemy of the ATHA. She was sure that they would kill her if they found out.
Sasuke Uchiha
He listened to her still staring at the sky.Yah, If only my brother would believe me.... He believes anyone over me well accept ATHA of coursehe spoke.Goldy landed by sasuke again.
Shasta Wild
Shasta leaned against the railing again. "I see. Jesse has a way of getting his way..." She stated. "They'll kill us all!"
Sasuke Uchiha
He shrugged and listened and then gasped as he felt a hand to his throat and his eyes opened to stare into his brothers eyes.
Itachi:What did I tell you little brother?He growled.He didn't take much heed to shasta.What he had just heard from Jesse's member vincent pissed him off but it also pissed him off when he said that sasuke was alone and no other akatsuki member was with him...
Shasta Wild
Shasta tried to hide her discomfort when Itachi appeared. "Come on, what's going on?" She said, acting as if she didn't know what was up.
Sasuke Uchiha
He glared at his brother and then without warning sent his knee to his brothers guy.Get over it Itachi, You know me, She was calling me cyclopes again and I ain't gonna take it!He growled though fear showed in his eyes now.He just attacked his brother who was stronger by far.
Itachi gaged and stumbled back.If i were you girl i'd stay out of thisHe issed at the moment not noticing who she was.His eyes narrow.You want to fucking disobey me boy!? When my rules are in place to protect you? Maybe i should hand you over to the ATHA and let them do what ever they want to to you!? Ha what you thinkg about that boy!?He snarled.
Shasta Wild
Shasta's conscience told her to stay out of this. But would she listen to that nagging feeling? Not a chance. "Maybe you should hand him over to the ATHA. At least they won't treat him like a stupid little baby." She shot back boldly. She was notorious for getting herself in too deep.
Itachi
He looked at her and glared.His lip.Now he notice who she was and his body got rather tense.really now? sorry But i won't really do that plus my brother is loyal to me no matter how he acts.He just gets angryhe hissed.His eyes then go back to sasuke who glared at him.
He then ran at his brother no weapons.He threw punchs and kicks which were blocked easily.
Shasta Wild
Shasta stepped closer. "See, I can't imagine how he'd be loyal to you, since you don't show him one iota of respect." She replied indignantly.
Itachi
He kept blocking him.I show him enough respect. I'm his brother don't tell me how to treat my brotherHe snarled all the meanwhile blocking his brothers moves.He knew his brother so he easily blocked them.He didn't doge because he knew his brother was just taking his anger out and it would subside soon enough.
Shasta Wild
Shasta pulled out her pistol, but let her arms hang at her side. "If you really respected him, you wouldn't treat him like he's three years old." She stated. She only acted this way because she was used to being bullied, never allowed to be a kid, even at a young age. It was obvious that she had a tough life.
Itachi
How i treat my brother is none of your concern! My brother has an attitude problem its hard to treat him any other way as you can see your lucky i came cuz he probably turn on yiou whether or not you guys were talking nicely with each other believe me i know my brotherHe snarled still blocking the blows but taking the hits.
Sasuke kept this up for quiet some time till he finally stopped panting...He glared and just stood there his knuckles raw.
Shasta Wild
Shasta shook her head. "Then I'll take my chances." She said hatefully. "At least he's better than you."
Itachi
He snorted.You'd be a fool to take your chances. He killed our father because of these anger spurts and our father was strong and used guns and had shot my brother in almost every place that couldn't kill but would severly injure yet my brother kept going....He looked to his brohter.Return home in an hour brother or i will send kakashi to retrieve youHe spoke and then headed away.
Sasuke watched his brother and then just leaned against the railing.
Shasta Wild
Sasuke Uchiha
He listened and only gave a chuckle.when you live with him you learn to put up with him. and another good yet bad thing about being brothers is we know each others moves enough to dodge or block all of them weather it be with just hands and feet or with weapons
Shasta Wild
Shasta managed to smile. "My only brother hated my guts. He...hurt me." Her smile quickly faded and she clenched her fists. "My dad just let it happen."
Sasuke Uchiha
He listened.I do have another brother actually now that i think of it. He is ten years older then Itachi and is probably out to kill both of us....he sighed and closed his eyes.
Shasta Wild
Shasta slid down onto the ground, staring off into the distance. "Yeah, I know what it feels like to be on the most-wanted list." She said dully.
Sasuke Uchiha
He sighed and looked to the sky.My brother is right you know. I don't know why but once i'm ticked off i need to beat on someone i believe that is the real reason he showed up
Shasta Wild
Shasta nodded. "You sound like a tamer version of my brother." She said, eventually smiling.
Sasuke Uchiha
He listened.He shrugged and looked to the sky.He let out a sigh.Fighting is really pointless if you don't have a reason
Sasuke,Madara,Orochimaru
Sasuke listened to her and shrugged.He was then yet again pined but this time he was lifted off the ground.His eyes soon met his older brothers and his eyes widen in fear.His hands gripping his arm.
Madara was quick and without warning had succesfully got his little brother pined and off the ground.Finally found you you piece of trash? Wheres your our brother ha?
orochimaru silently followed Madara.He tilted his head and looked at the girl but didn't make any move.
Shasta Wild
Shasta stood up when Madara and the others arrived. "Who are you? What are you doing?" She asked nervously.
Sasuke Uchiha
I don't know he left here five minutes ago and i don't know where he wentHe gasped clawing at his brothers hands.
Madara ignored his brothers clawing.Well you got a cell phone don't you?He hissed.His eyes momentarily go to the girl but he does not speak.Thats orochimaru's job.
Orochimaru took his masters silence as the cue and moved alittle.We are part of the new gang here called Nezzara, I am Orochimaru and he is Madara Uchiha. We are here for him and his brother and the rest is none of your concern
Shasta Wild
Shasta looked at Orochimaru. "Yeah, I think it is my concern." She shot back.
Sasuke
If you think i'm gonna give up Itachi I'm not going to brother! You can give up. He snarled his hands still digging into Madara's arm.
Madara glared.Your still his little lap dog then?He hissed his eyes narrowed.
Orochimaru glared.How does it concern you girl?He questioned.
Shasta Wild
Shasta clenched her fists in anger. "It concerns me because I am just as much a part of this Valley as you are. In case you haven't heard, I am an important member of the Atroe Trapping and Hunting Alliance." True, she was a member of the ATHA, but she exaggerated a bit about being important.
Sasuke
He glared.I have never been his lap dog let me go!He gasped and struggled.
Madara:He snorted and laughed.Oh yes you are his lap dog you clean up after he is done
Orochimaru listened and smiled.I see, We did some researching on them, And from what I found out you are enemies with sasuke and the rest of the Akatsuki so why do you care?
Shasta Wild
Shasta stepped forward. "This is my battle. I'll fight it my way. I don't need a bunch of clowns interfering." She hissed.
Sasuke
His vision started to fade and soon his hands slipped from his brothers and he was uncouncious.
Madara flung Sasuke at Orochimaru.Get him in the car and stay thereHe hissed before turning his attention to the girl.We are not interfering with your battle, My gang has had an issue with the Akatsuki way before they moved here and i have personal ones with that kid and his brotherhe spoke.So i suggest you stay out of it.
Shasta Wild
Shasta narrowed her eyes. "Don't tell me what to do, you freak." She snapped. This was all she had to say.
Orochimaru
He carried sasuke back to the car and placed him in the back seat.He stood outside the car watching.
Madara glared at her.Fine i won't but believe me you really don't want to get caught up in it. I am kinder then the Akatsuki and i don't want to harm anyone i don't have to.
Shasta Wild
Shasta shook her head, sighing indignantly. "I'm already caught up in it, you moron. And I'm better off now that I have something to fight than I was six months ago." She shot back.
Madara
He listened.Well i really must be going, I must find my younger brotherHe spoke and turned his back on her and started heading for the car.
Shasta Wild
Shasta, finding nothing better to do, followed the others. Mouse trailed along.
