Chapter 1: The kidnap

"Bye guys see you tomorrow" Matsuri said as she walked off into the distance

Amigas cheetahs friends for life,

The rhythm in each other, that's what keeps us tight,

Amigas cheetahs livin' the dream,

Nothing's ever gonna come between amigas

Matsuri sang as she walked home. She took a short-cut through the park. Her and Temari had come to Konoha to spend two years because of a peace treaty between Konoha and Suna, they had a small house together but since she had a mission tomorrow she had to leave Sakura's party early to get a good night sleep.

What could be any better than,

Knowin' someone who'll be there when,

You gotta pour your heart out, tell your secrets t-

Crunch…

Matsuri quickly turned around and pulled a kunai out and got into a stance, she turned around again.She closed her eyes and tried to feel any chakra signatures. For the moments she waited calmly, patiently, she couldn't fell a thing, nothing, only the light breeze beating against her bare back.

'Her youthfulness is fast but mine is faster' the stranger thought, 'Her youthfulness will be mine will be mine one way or another', a sinister smirk grace the stranger's face.

"One way or another" the stranger whispered and walked into the dense forest that accompanied the moon-lit park, "One way or another" the breeze whispered as it hit Matsuri's ear

Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring…"Hey this is Temari, sorry I can't pick up right now but if you leave a brief message with your name and number, I'll get back to you ASAP", "Leave a message after the tone" the computer rang

"Damn you Temari, where are you when I need you" Matsuri swore as she sprinted all the way home

When Matsuri got home she slumped down on the couch, 'that was the weirdest evening I've had since I came to Konoha', she propped her legs up on the couch, 'that guy was fast but why in the world was he stalking me. It was probably just a prank that him and some friends were playing, I shouldn't let it get to me' Matsuri pondered on it some more only to find that she couldn't see the shadow that was looming over her.

"Hey Geko, how ya doin'?" Matsuri sat up straight and began to pet the small puppy, the puppy barked happily at her and then began to growl.

"You know for a kunoichi from the Sand you're quite slow" Matsuri's eyes widen as she felt a cold piece of metal press against her neck.

'That voice, it's the same guy from the park', "I thought that they were always alert but I guess if your Kazekage can't even fight off one rough ninja then you must be just as weak. He couldn't lay hand on me, not even a scratch, but his youthfulness was persistent, but it wasn't good enough to keep him from getting kidnapped"

"What did you do to Gaara-sensei?!" Matsuri hissed

"Nothing, nothing at all we just extracted Shukaku from him, and left him and his brother to rot in one of our jail cells" the strangers voice said lightly as if he didn't have a care in the world.

Matsuri gasped, "You intrigue me, your youthfulness is enough to make any man want you"

He hit the pressure point at the back of her neck. Matsuri felt her body go numb as she slumped to the ground. She felt herself being lifted off the floor, she got a glimpse of the face.

'Bushy eyebrows' she thought, she was disturbed by a hot breath against her ear.

"I want you!" the intruder said, she felt another jolt of pain through her neck and quickly jumped into the darkness
