I walked dully into Shukaku's camp. He allowed me to see him, and I walked up. He started by saying that no matter what I tried, I would never kill Naruto. I sighed and merely lit a cigarette Kyuubi had given me.
"Hey Hachi," Shukaku said looking astounded, "When did you start smoking."
"Sssssince I got my ssssoul ripped out," I retorted releasing a ring of smoke out of my mouth.
"You're as bad as Kyuubi," Shukaku said leaning back on his throne. I sighed and remembered what has happened earlier...
[Flash Back}
“Kyuu-kun,” I said with one had against my head, “what will I get out of this?”
The fox looked at me with one eye for a long time trying to analytically understand what I was getting at. I sighed and continued.
“I don’t seem to gain anything from you dying,” I smirked.
“If you are going to say that you don’t want me to die, I’m going to take you down now Hachi,” Kyuubi said icily.
“No that’ssss not what I mean….Kyuubi….I don’t ssssee….anything that I can get out of this….If I help you, Shukaku will be angry and take it out on me. I’ll ssssstill never forgive myself for losing and be ssssstuck here for an eternity…. You are the only one that gets what he wants. And that’sss not fair in my sssstandards….I honestly don’t ssssee the point in living anymore, sssso I’m going to get what I want out of thisssss,” I said. Quickly I did a few hand signed and a silver thread made a chain around both our necks. It disappeared in seconds, and Kyuubi’s eyes widened.
“That was….” he started.
“Now if you die….I get what I want out of it…death...” I said flatly.
“Fine with me,” Kyuubi said.
[Back to present]
"What do you expect to accomplish?" Shukaku said, "Look at all my guards!"
"I sighed and breathed in another breath of smoke. Kai started yelling from inside Shukaku.
"Hachi is that you?" he asked, "What is that smell? How can you be smoking? Don't you know how bad it is for you?"
"Sssshut up Kai," I said coldly.
Kai whined, and from out of nowhere Suki came and slapped my face.
"How dare you talk like that to your own brother!" she yelled.
"When did you get so defensive?" I asked my hand moving to the place she had slapped. Man everyone just wants a piece of me today....My hand went to my pocket, and my finger's reached something. It was the black knight that I had lost with. I took it out and smirked.
"Hachi?" Suki said unsure of what was going on.
"Shukakau...." I said, "Do you know how to play chess?"
"What has this got to do with anything?" Shukaku asked.
"Well you see a knight is a really interesting piece. He can move in Ls and distract the oponet. But if the king is taken, then the game is lost. I'm a knight.....you won't 'check Kyuubi' ....And none of your pawns can take me down....
Someone continue!
