Bab 63: Chapter 63
Last Time:
"Looks like its time I finish what I started." She mused as she opened her hotel window and jumped out.
Now:
~ Outside of the Kage Tower – With the Thief ~
She looked at the Kage tower, then to her watch. 'Where is he? His shift should have ended half an hour ago!' She thought. Before she could keep ranting, a figure walked out of the tower. It was Yugo; he was wearing a trench coat and a hat in hopes of staying incognito. 'Interesting..' She mused as she silently followed him on the rooftops. She followed him as he went to pick up some milk and then turned into an alley. 'Trying to take a short cut home? Big mistake!' She thought as she quickly slipped into the alley after him. Yugito and Samui were still in the convenience store across the alley and saw the figure in black follow Yugo.
"Should we go after him?" Yugito asked Samui. "No. We have a moderate view into the alley from here. If things go bad, we can always follow after him. If not, then we just have to wait for him to go back to the Tower to retrieve the document." Samui reasoned, making Yugito nod. They continued pretending to read items, keeping a vigilant eye on Yugo.
~ With Yugo ~
Yugo quickly hurried across the dark alley, his eyes darting everywhere. 'Where is she, she should have caught up by now. Maybe she isn't following me..' Yugo thought and sighed in relief. He was quickly grabbed by the back of trench coat and slammed into a wall. "GAAH!" He yelled in pin, only for a finger to be put over his lips. "Now now, that wasn't even a fraction of what I can do to you.." A sultry voice said. He opened his eyes to see a beautiful woman in front of him. She was wearing a tight leather outfit that seemed to be painted on, her jade green eyes were behind a small mask, her medium length red hair cascaded down her back.
"Who are you?" He asked dumbly. "Don't tell me you forgot about me already. I'm the woman who borrowed those files from you last night." The thief said, making his eyes widen. "More like stole!" Yugo accused. "I prefer borrowed. It sounds a lot better than 'stole'. So maybe you can tell me why the files I borrowed from you weren't complete!" She demanded as she backhanded him into the wall. Yugo looked defiantly at her, but stood down. "I'm sorry! I think I must have dropped one of the sheets of paper in my office as I was leaving. You're more than welcome to go look for it in the Kage tower. I work in the bottom floor, the morgue. The back entrance is always unlocked." The man said, only to get a knee to the stomach.
"Do I look like an idiot to you? Why would I go into the Kage tower when I'm trying to steal something from it!" The thief demanded. She reached into his back pocket and pulled out his wallet. She opened it and saw his ID with his home address and information. She smirked, then took the keys from his front pocket. "You are to go to the Kage tower and get the last sheet of the document for me. If not, I'll visit you at home, and I won't be quite as merciful!" The thief demanded. Yugo nodded and walked out of the alley, heading directly for the Kage tower. The thief quickly went back to the rooftops to wait for the man to return.
~ With Samui and Yugito ~
Samui sighed as she saw Yugo run from the alley. "Damn it." She muttered and took out a small walkie talkie. "Naruto-kun, she didn't go for it. Yugo's headed your way now, and he looked terrified." Samui spoke softly. "Alright, I've got it from here. You two go and get some rest. I'll meet back up at your place in an hour." Naruto said into the walkie. Before the girls could retaliate, he continued. "Listen, whoever this is it's a pro. They'll probably notice two girls hanging out at a convenience store longer than they should. Just go back to Samui's place. I'll handle it from here." Naruto reasoned.
"Alright Naruto-kun, just be careful." Samui relented. "And make sure you come back in one piece!" Yugito yelled to the walkie after her, making Naruto chuckle. "Will do." Naruto said and cut his walkie off. "Let's go." Samui said as she grabbed a can of lemonade and went to pay for it.
~ With Naruto – In the Morgue ~
Naruto grinned as he quickly closed the folder. He turned to see Yugo walk inside, out of breath and huffing. "Naruto-san, she didn't go for it! She said she wants me to deliver the document or she'll take care of me!" Yugo managed to say through huffs of breath. "It's fine, my team already briefed me on the situation. You stay here and sleep with the stiffs, I'll handle it." Naruto said as he took Yugo's trench coat and hat and put them on. "You can't be serious! You're going to hand it over to her?!" Yugo demanded. "Not quite." Naruto replied, then tightened the trench coat and left.
~ Half an Hour Later – Alley ~
The thief smirked as she saw the same figure walk into the alley. He was wearing the same hat and trench coat as before, along with a blue folder in his hands. 'Good, I'll try to make this quick..' she mused as she saw him stand near a sealed trash can. She pulled out a senbon and aimed it at his neck. "Too easy.." She mused as she threw it. Before it could land, Naruto quickly took the lid off the nearby trash can and used it to block the senbon. 'What the hell?!' She internally demanded as the figure placed the lid back on the trashcan. She smirked and quickly jumped from the roof down on him.
She placed her foot out and prepared to impact it against his head, but was shocked as he caught her foot with his hands. He then pivoted on his rear leg and used the momentum to slam her into the wall, making her yell out in pain. She fell to the floor and looked up to see the figure remove his hat and trench coat. In the place of the skinny man now stood Naruto. He was still wearing his standard uniform. The thief blushed as she saw his tight black t shirt, making Naruto smirk. "Sorry, but this is the end of the line for you." He mused as he picked her up. "Oh really?" The thief asked as she pushed him into the wall and pressed her large assets into his chest, making him blush.
"Maybe I can make it up to you in some other way.." She whispered into his ear. Before Naruto could answer that, her head jerked forward into the wall hard, knocking her out. Naruto quickly caught her as she fell into his arms and looked to see Samui and Yugito standing behind here, eyes fuming with feminine rage. ' Oh shit.' He thought as he smiled nervously. "OH, is this why you wanted us to leave?" Samui asked in a dangerous tone. "So you could cuddle up with the thief?" Yugito added. "Girls, relax, I can explain. I promise." Naruto said in a nervous tone, making both girls smirk.
"Naruto-kun, relax, we're just teasing." Samui said as she helped him pick up the thief. "We can hold this little party at my house." Samui finished. "You sure Samui-chan? We can always find an empty warehouse around here." Yugito said to her fellow blonde. "I'm sure. I'm rarely there anyway. I'll probably move in with Naruto-kun anyway." Samui said. "Good idea. I'll join the two of you." Yugito said as she helped Samui carry the knocked out thief. "Don't I get a say in this?" Naruto asked as he walked behind them. "NO!" They both replied in unison, making him sweat drop. "Besides, Natalya thinks it's a good idea." Samui called back. Naruto sighed and followed them back to Samui's place.
~ Samui's Place – Twenty Minutes Later ~
The thief groaned as she slowly got up, a pounding in her head preventing her from concentrating on her surroundings. 'What.. What happened?' She wondered as she tried to move. Keyword tried, since she soon found her hand and feet zip tied together and a large piece of duct tape on her mouth. 'What the hell?!' She demanded as she muffled through her mouth. "Oh good, you're up." A voice said. She turned to see the same blonde man from the alley standing before her. "Now, I'm going to ask you a few questions. And if you answer them properly, you can walk away. Now, I'm going to remove the duct tape from your mouth." Naruto said as he grabbed the edge of the strip covering her mouth.
"Don't scream, or they will take care of you." Naruto said as he motioned to the girls behind her. The thief turned back to see Samui and Yugito standing behind her with a rag and rope. 'Probably soaked in chloroform..' The thief reasoned, then reluctantly nodded. Naruto slowly removed the piece of tape. "Alright, now what's your name?" Naruto asked, trying to start things small. "Just call me.. Black Cat." The thief said, making Naruto raise an eyebrow. 'Interesting.. She certainly reminds me of the original, but she's a red head. Nothing wrong with that though..' Naruto mused as he nodded.
"Alright, now let's get down to business. Why did you take those documents from my friend?" Naruto demanded. She smiled and turned to him, arching her back to make her breast appear bigger. "I just like important things.." She tried to lie, only to get a chuckle from him. "Oh, I don't think so. Those were specific records. You had prior knowledge on them." Naruto said as he pulled out a small can lighter fluid. He quickly traced a circle around her chair, making her eyes widen. "What are you doing?!" She demanded as she tried to break the ropes.
Naruto smirked as he saw the look of pure fear in her eyes. 'God, I hate having to play the psycho..' Naruto thought as he continued playing the part. "Now, whether you're on the inside of that circle or outside of it is up to you." Naruto stated as he placed the can of lighter fluid under her chair. The thief sighed. 'I hate it when these low lives think they can make me fear for my life.' She mused, but decided to play along.. "Wait!" She yelled. "Alright, I'll.. I'll talk." The thief said as he saw him about drop a match on the beginning of the trail of lighter fluid.
"I was hired by a mob boss. Those papers are a testimony that would put his brother into jail for a long time." The thief admitted through gritted teeth. "Why are you working for a mob boss?" Naruto asked, but she held her tongue. She turned to see Yugito holding a pair of scissors, super heating them with her fire based chakra. "I really don't want her to have to scar that beautiful face." Naruto said as he caressed her face, making her blush. "Hey, don't get comfy with the prisoner." Samui said, making Naruto blush lightly. "Fine. I need to raise money for a certain cause. It's personal, so I won't say much. Just know that it's a good cause and if I had any other options for missions, I wouldn't take this scumbag's job." Cat finished.
" Where are the rest of the files?" Naruto asked. "He has them. He demanded the whole thing if I was to be paid, and after all I have invested in this, I couldn't let the pay get away." Cat replied. "Alright, well what if we all got what we wanted out of this?" Naruto asked as he sat on a desk and began writing out some rough details. "And how do you propose we do that?" Cat asked, intrigued. "Simple. You know his name his name, I assume?" Naruto asked Cat. "Daiki. Daiki Hiroshi." Cat answered, wondering where exactly he was going with this. "And where does Mr. Hiroishi hang out?" Naruto asked. "A strip club. Near the west end of Kumo." Cat informed him.
"Alright then, I believe we can all help each other to achieve our ends." Naruto said, making everyone raise an eyebrow. "How so?" Samui asked. "Well.." Naruto began, but was cut off as Cat spoke up. "Wait, what makes you think that I would ever help you?" Cat asked as she tried to loosen the zip ties around her hands. "Simple. You get paid, the files go back to where they are needed, the mob boss is taken off the streets, and we let you walk away clean." Naruto offered, making her raise an eyebrow. "Why would you do all of that for me?" Cat asked cautiously. "Simple. You need the money and I need the files. Everyone wins." Naruto reasoned.
"… Alright, I'm in. But I reserve the right to walk away at any time." Cat relented. "Agreed. Now Yugito, how about you release her from her restraints?" Naruto asked. Yugito nodded and headed to Cat with a blade in her hand. Cat sighed and looked downwards, her hair covering her face, not allowing anyone to see the smirk on her face.
