Chapter 9: Traitor

Riku stared constantly at what had just happened. Sasuke noticed this, his crimson red eyes directed of the necklace then adverted to Riku. “You” he said in a soft yet deadly voice. “You! You had this planned didn’t you?” His curse seal ended, the pain had gone away the minute that Orochimaru had escaped from his grasp. He now stood and walked his way up to the client’s tent, grabbing his shirt by the collar and chucking threatening rude remarks about him. “I know your working for Orochimaru”
“How?” Riku asked, a smirk playing on his lips as he tried to piss the Uchiha of even more.
“Everything that you’ve done was a lead up wasn’t it?” he questioned him, eyeing him.  A small chuckle came from the federal lord.
“My My….the Uchiha knew after all” A punch landed on the side of his face, causing blood to appear on the Federal lord’s face. Sasuke dropped him on the ground as he made his way to his own tent.  

Neji came out inspecting what had happened. “Sasuke?” he questioned. Seeing the Uchiha coming in and then after a few minutes coming out with a bag on his shoulder, while his left hand held the necklace that the had found.  The Hyuuga walked over questioning him and his actions. “Where are you going?”
“Haven’t you heard? Sakura’s missing….I’m not sticking with this mission any longer”
“What about the client”
“If you wanna stick with that traitor take him back but I’m going after Sakura” Sasuke told him off, pushing his way towards the forest. Earning a confused look from the Hyuuga.
“Bastard” Neji muttered under his breath….as he watched the Uchiha walk away form the camp grounds.

Riku stood up brushing the blood away from the side of his face, dusting his clothes off as he stared at the Uchiha leaving the campsite.
“He deserves it” he muttered angrily to himself.

“Let me go!” Sakura yelled angrily. Orochimaru still had a grip on her with his tongue as they moved quickly back to his lair.
“You’re part of my plan you can’t go yet” Orochimaru grinned devilishly.

Sasuke had started to his journey on retrieving the kunochi, constantly checking on the necklace that the kunochi had dropped. He took off his own chain, taking the heart shaped cherry and sliding it on his own joining it with his own Uchiha crest pendant. Stashing the broken chain in his bag he continued on.

Neji knew that the Uchiha wasn’t coming back anytime soon, he also knew that the Uchiha left him something to do….escort the client back.
“What are we doing….your a client…might as well get this mission over with” he told Riku in his cold monotone voice. Riku nodded back as he packed up the last of supplies and headed off with Neji.
