Cap 209: Samui the Cloud Head (1)

After Itachi and Kisame got rid of the 'little spy' in the vicinity, they proceeded to extract the Bijuu inside Fuu without any problem.

"It is good to see that the Nanabi did not make contact with the Kyubi," Kisame nodded as he watched the girl show progressively fewer signs of life, "I guess it was much easier this time"

"She wasn't as strong as Roshi or Han" - answered Itachi with neutrality - " Let's go"

"Aren't we going to take her with us?" - Kisame asked in surprise.

"She doesn't have a great reward for us to care," Itachi replied neutrally. "Let's just let her rest in this place for all eternity"

"If you say so..." - denied Kisame as the two of them stepped out of the cave and withdrew, after all, they had done their job.

After their presence was gone, Kurama had arrived at the site and looked at Fuu with regret that he had let the girl end up in such a state.

"Ku... rama..." - said Choumei from inside the seal.

"I am sorry, brother," Kurama muttered as he sighed with regret. "I promise I will explain everything to you when you wake up and make it up to Fuu..."

". . ." - Choumei did not reply, only kept silent before losing consciousness.

Kurama took Fuu in his arms and disappeared from the scene with a complicated expression on his face because not only had he let them remove Choumei's chakra to protect Itachi, but also Fuu herself because if Kurama saved her, it was quite obvious that Akatsuki would go after her again and perhaps the girl would not have the same fate.

"If you want to talk, just do it..." - said Samui as she looked at her friends. She and the other girls, except Karui, had been discharged and were now sitting in the joint hotel room talking.

"We want to know the reason why you decided to come with us" - said Mabui seriously because she felt that there was not a very good reason behind the blonde woman's decision.

". . ." - Samui was silent for a few seconds before sighing with regret - "Well... I'll tell you what happened... just... don't say anything until it's over..."

Mabui and Yugito nodded firmly as they listened to Samui begin her story - "It all started a year ago..."

* * * [Flashback] * * *

It was a normal day for Kumo and Samui finally had a day off to rest but it seemed that things would not be so simple.

"Come on Samui, just this once!" - said Atsui with a smile - "I promise I won't bother you anymore, I just want to introduce you to my teammates"

"Ok... just this once I'm going to listen to you but promise me you won't force me to meet any more of your friends" - said Samui with a scowl - "By the way, will you take your girlfriend Karen, Aniki?"

"I'd like to, but she's on duty tomorrow morning," sighed Atsui as he shook his head.

"Okay..." - Samui nodded as she went back to her room to prepare.

* * *

The afternoon had passed and Samui and Atsui were walking to the place where they would meet the young man's companions.

"Oh? But isn't it Samui-san?" - said a familiar voice.

"Kurama-san?" - Samui asked in surprise when she saw the boy she hadn't seen for a long time - "What are you doing here?"

"I came to talk to the Jinchuriki of the Hachibi" - answered Kurama calmly as he shrugged - "And from what I heard from your leader, I guess I'll fight him too"

Samui's lips trembled slightly because somehow she could see it coming.

"Anyway, it was a pleasure to see you again, Samui-san" - smiled Kurama - "Give my regards to Mabui-san... to Yugito not because it is quite certain that Matatabi has detected me and forced her to come to see me"

"Okay, I'll give her your regards." - said Samui calmly as she watched him leave.

"Was he that Kyubi boy you said last time?" - Atsui asked with a scowl.

"Yes," Samui nodded calmly as she ignored her brother's expression because he was extremely overprotective of her.

"Ok" - Atsui nodded as the two brothers arrived at the venue only to see two young men waiting for them with a smile.

"So she's your sister, Atsui," said the first one with a smile as he watched her carefully. "I have to admit that she's just like you said, one of the most beautiful girls in Kumo"

Samui only frowned when she heard this because she could detect a slight tone in his words.

"Don't say such things, you idiot," said the second one as he hit his partner on the back of the head. "I apologize for the words of my partner, Samui-san"

"Don't worry," replied Samui neutrally as the four of them sat down.

* * *

The evening continued normally until the two young men decided one to go to the bathroom and the other to order something to drink from the bar.

"So Samui?" - Atsui asked with a smile - "What are my mates like?"

"They are... peculiar..." - Samui answered with neutrality. She had been able to notice the slight glances of those two boys on her prominent front.

"Easy, they're not bad guys" - said Atsui calmly but his expression changed when he noticed a familiar shinobi running in his direction - "Masaru?"

"Atsui-san! Sorry to interrupt you but A-sama needs you in his office!" - exclaimed the shinobi named Masaru.

"Okay, I'll be right there," Atsui nodded seriously and then took a look at Samui. "Sorry, sis... I guess I'll be a little late, but enjoy the meeting for now while I go back"

"Okay," Samui nodded calmly.

"Where is Atsui?" - asked the man who had gone to the toilet.

"A-sama called him," Samui answered neutrally.

"A pity..." - replied the man as he shook his head only to have the second man arrive and ask the same question.

* * *

"I'm sorry, I need to go to the bathroom..." - said Samui as she left.

"Are you sure about this?" - asked the first guy.

"It's the best chance we have" - said the second guy.

"You're right" - nodded the first as he tried to put a strange liquid in Samui's drink, only to be stopped by a hand - "Huh?"

"Bad choice my friend," said Kurama as he threw a punch at the man.

"Bastard!" - roared the second one just to be hit in the face - "Ugh..."

"Kurama-san?! What are you doing?!" - Samui exclaimed in surprise.

"They were about to put something strange in your drink so I stopped them," answered Kurama calmly.

"It's a fake!" - exclaimed the first boy - "He just attacked us!"

"It's true! We didn't do anything!" - exclaimed the second.

". . ." - Samui looked at them and then at Kurama - "Kurama-san. . . you don't have to cause trouble for Kumo"

Those two guys may not have made the best first impression, but they were still part of Kumo.

". . ." - Kurama stared at her for a few seconds before shaking his head - "I see... well, I'm sorry I interrupted you"

"And you want to leave just like that!" - exclaimed one of the boys just to be silent at the cold stare of the ginger.

"Kurama-san..." - said Samui neutrally.

". . ." - Kurama said nothing else, he just quietly withdrew while Samui shook her head - "I'm sorry about that"

"D-Don't worry..." - replied the first guy as he smiled at her, only to groan in pain as he felt the punch he had taken.

"Anyway, we'd better keep drinking," said the second man as he handed her a glass. "I'm sure you won't tell us a no..."

". . ." - Samui was silent for a few seconds before nodding neutrally as she took the glass and drank its contents, not noticing the two boys' cold smiles - "Huh?"

Samui slowly began to feel everything around her begin to distort as she noticed the two boys' arched lips and realized that Kurama's words had been true - ". . ."

* * *

When she could finally open her eyes, Samui the first thing she did was look around in terror, only to see how the two bastards who had sedated her were on the ground with their faces completely red.

"I see you finally woke up..." - said a voice she knew quite well.

"Kurama-san?!" - exclaimed Samui in surprise as she noticed the redhead in front of her - "W-What?!"

"Take it as an emergency in case these bastards go ahead with their plan" - answered Kurama with neutrality as he looked at the girl silently - "What they gave you was an aphrodisiac, a pretty powerful one that needed 'special activities' to cure you but doesn't worry, I solved everything differently"

"!" - Samui began to tremble at the thought of being defiled while her conscience was out of order - "A-Are you?"

"No..." - Kurama calmly denied as he sealed the two unconscious men and walked to the entrance - "You can go to the hospital to check."

"W-Wait!" - exclaimed Samui in terror. She had just been through a traumatic situation and did not want to be alone.

"Why should I stay with you?" - asked Kurama as he glanced at the girl - "You don't trust me after all"

". . ." - Samui was silent as she remembered what had happened in the bar - "I'm sorry... please don't leave me alone..."

"Ok..." - sighed Kurama as he shook his head.

***********************************************

I'm sorry I haven't uploaded chapters for a whole week. My doctor told me not to do any kind of activity with my right hand and the person who was supposed to help me said I had to study for some tests.

Tomorrow the doctor will tell me how much longer I will have to be at rest, although seeing that my hand no longer hurts so much and that I can move it with a little more normality, I would say that it will be between 5 to 1 week before I can return to relative normality.
