WARNING: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR ANY OF THE NARUTO CHARACTERS. JUST RYUME, HIKURO, AND KASAIGARU. Enjoy!
SUMMARY: Risu and Naruto were training one day and sudenly got attacked. Naruto gets captured! Risu with the help with Ryume (of course) both go to find Naruto. Once they retrieve him, they go back to the kidnappers and take their revenge on them. The last chapter is a treat!
Risu: -training with Taiyou. They are running in a field and they are 'fighting' to get practice. Throws a punch at Taiyou-
Taiyou: -dodges and tries to hit Risu with her hind paws-
Risu: -leaps to the side, pulls out a blunted kunai knife and lunges at Taiyou-
Taiyou: -leaps in the air and then goes in for a fake bite at Risu's neck-
Risu: -tries to leap to the side to avoid the jaws but Taiyou grabs Risu around her middle and pulls her back-
Taiyou: -pretends to bite Risu's neck and then sets her down- I win.
Risu: Again.
Taiyou: Hey, no ninja but Kakashi has beaten me. You almost had me with the kunai though. You're getting better.
Risu: Thanks. -grabs a water bottle from the ground and drains it-
Taiyou: Here comes Naruto.
Risu: What? -spins around- Hey Naruto!
Naruto: Hey Risu-Chan. What are you doing?
Risu: Well, I just finished training so, nothing right now.
Naruto: Ya wanna get some ramen with me?
Risu: Sure! I'm starved. Wanna come Taiyou?
Taiyou: Nah. I'll go home.
Risu: Okay. I'll be there in 2 hours kay?
Taiyou: All right. -poofs-
--Naruto and Risu head towards the ramen place--
Naruto: So. Have ya beaten Taiyou yet?
Risu: Nope, but I almost had her this time.
Naruto: Cool. Hey, do you think that sometime I can fight her? I wanna see if I can do it.
Risu: Fine by me. But your not gonna be able to do it. Nobody but Kakashi's done it before.
Naruto: Oh.
Risu: Yeah. But who knows? Maybe you'll get lucky.
Naruto: That'll be the day when I get lucky at something.
Risu: Ah, give yourself a break. You're a great fighter.
Naruto: But you still beat me.
Risu: Only cause you don't want to try against me.
Naruto: What?! I try to kick your butt every time!
Risu: But when you have a chance to pull a kunai and get me in the gut, you don't take it. You let me kick you.
Naruto: I...!
Risu: Sure Naruto.
Naruto: HEY! I do try to beat you! I'm just not fast enough.
Risu: Whatever you say.
Naruto: Grrr...--suddenly a kunai comes flying out of nowhere and plants itself in Naruto's arm- GAH!! -wrenches the kunai out and clutches his arm-
Risu: -searches for the attacker as she heals Naruto's arm quickly-
Naruto: -pulls out three kunai-
Risu: -draws three senbon and a kunai-
--another kunai flies out at Naruto but he blocks it. Suddenly ten kunai are flying at him.--
Naruto: AHH!!
Risu: -pushes Naruto out of the way and ducks herself as the kunai go overhead- -stands up straight and is suddenly face to face with a masked figure- GAH!! -jumps back-
Naruto: Risu!
Risu: -stabs a senbon into the guys neck, only paralyzing him temporarily and spins for Naruto-
Naruto: -is fighting another masked figure, and from the looks of it, losing-
Risu: Naruto!! I'm coming!! -pulls out more senbon and throw them at the figure-
Masked dude: -dodges all senbon and attacks from Naruto and still manages to hit Naruto in the gut with a hard kick-
Naruto: -doubles over as blood comes out of his mouth-
Risu: -rushes forward and attacks the guy with a flurry of kicks and punches-
Masked dude: -dodges all attacks and sweeps his legs in such a way that makes Risu trip and fall but as she falls she gets kicked in the face with his other foot-
Risu: Ah! - Is lying on her back clutching her nose as blood seeps out-
Masked dude: -is suddenly sitting on Risu's chest, making it hard for her to breathe-
Risu: -looks around the man for Naruto and sees another guy coming up from behind Naruto- Naru...!
Masked man: -clamps his hand over Risu's mouth-
Masked man 2: -hits Naruto on the head with the butt of a kunai, knocking him out instantly, and then picks him up and carries him off-
Risu: -begins to struggle to get the man off of her-
Masked man: -clamps his other hand over Risu's throat and squeezes-
Risu: -can't breathe and she struggles harder to get free. After a few moments she stops struggling and concentrates on staying conscious. The man before her turns fuzzy at the edges in her eyes and then starts to dissolve into darkness. Risu let's her eyes flutter closed as darkness envelopes her-
--MEANWHILE--
-Ryume and Kasaigaru were walking on a trail in the woods-
Ryume: -thinking very deeply and hasn't spoken-
Kasaigaru: -is also silent and notices that Ryume is troubled.- You've been quiet. What's on your mind?
Ryume: Hmm? Oh, nothing
Kasaigaru: Give me a different answer.
Ryume: I just have stuff on my mind.
Kasaigaru: -sighs- I'm not going to go through this again. Just tell me wh-cuts off as he halts in his tracks and his eyes are alert but still bear his boring, calm eyes.-
Ryume: Kasaigaru? Something wrong?
Kasaigaru: Blood.
Ryume: Anyone familiar?
Kasaigaru: -closes eyes- Naruto's
Ryume: What?! Is it small or an attack?
Kasaigaru: It was an attack, an unexpected one. -eyes still closed and his ear twitches- Risu's with him too. -His eyes open-
Ryume: Lets go check it out.
Kasaigaru: -nods and follows Ryume out of the woods-
Ryume: -is soon following Kasaigaru and he leads her to a figure laying on the floor.- Risu?! -she kneels down and inspects her.-
Kasaigaru: -eyes grow slightly grow tense- She's not breathing
Ryume: Crap. -puts a hand over Risu's chest- You're right, she isn't.
Kasaigaru: We should take her to some help. Dare I say it, the hospital?
Ryume: -grumbles- great. Well it's the only place we've got. Let's go. -picks Risu up and takes her to the hospital-
Risu: -wakes up but doesn't open her eyes. She hears a monitor beeping. Thinks- the hospital... -opens her eyes a blinks a few times to clear her vision-
Taiyou: -is sitting by her bed and then she sees Risu woke up and sits up and puts her face close to Risu- What. Happened?
Risu: Ninja... attacked...
Taiyou: What did they do?
Risu: They took...Naruto...
Taiyou: What did they do to you?
Risu: Nothing... except...strangle me...
Taiyou: Hmph.
Risu: Shouldn't you...be...like...concerned...?
Taiyou: The doctors said you were gonna be fine.
Risu: Yeah...bu...!
Taiyou: -explodes- YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO GO GET RAMEN!! BUT NO!! GET YOURSELF INTO TROUBLE AGAIN!!GET YOURSELF KILLED!!
Risu: Taiyou I...
Taiyou: DO YOU REALIZE THAT WHEN YOU CAME INTO THIS HOSPITAL YOU WERENT BREATHING?? DO YOU KNOW HOW SCARED I WAS?? THEY HAD TO SHOCK YOU!! TWICE!! -tears were running down into her fur now-
Risu: Taiyou...I...I...
Taiyou: Didn't think??
Risu: I'm sorry. -reaches out and strokes Taiyou's head fur- I'm sorry I scared you. I'm really, really sorry.
Taiyou: What am I gonna do with you, Risu?
Ryume: -knocks softly on door and says- May I come in?
Risu: -looks up- Yes.
Ryume: -opens door and enters with Kasaigaru behind her- How are you feeling? And what happened??
Risu: Me and Naruto were on our way to get some ramen when we were attacked by masked ninja. -eyes suddenly widen- And...they took...Naruto. Ryume!! We have to find Naruto!! The ninjas! They took him!
Kasaigaru: -in his boring voice- Calm down, will ya?
Ryume: Yeah, don't worry about it. The doctor said when you wake up you'll be able to get up. But you won't be able to run too much or train to hard and stuff like that. So are you going to be able to come?
Risu: OF COURSE!!
Ryume: -smiles- Alright then. Let's go!
Taiyou: Hey kid, your not getting out of my sight.
Risu: -rolls out of bed- Well, duh. Come on! -pulls on shoes and runs out the door-
Taiyou: -leaps out of the door and tackles Risu-
Risu: HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING??
Taiyou: I distinctly remember Ryume saying 'no running'
Risu: Grrr...I HAVE TO RUN!!
Taiyou: You'll ride my back.
Risu: Fine. -climbs on Taiyou's back- Come on guys!
--They're all outside in the woods--
Ryume: Hey Kasaigaru, can you track Naruto?
Kasaigaru: Yeah. -turns slightly to the right and everyone follows.
Ryume: anyone have any idea why they want Naruto?
Kasaigaru: It can be for various things. It can be simply a kidnap, or maybe even because of the Nine-tailed Fox.
Ryume: Let's hope it's not that one...
Risu: Well the main thing we need to concentrate on is getting him back!
Kasaigaru: -mutters to himself- And maybe get some information out of them...
Ryume: -hears Kasaigaru's comment but acts as if she didn't hear-
--WHILE ALL OF THIS IS GOING ON--
Naruto: Unh... -opens his eyes and looks around. He's in a huge room and he sees people standing on pillar things-
Voice: Good. He's awake.
Voice 2: All right. Can we begin?
Naruto: Begin? -gets into a sitting position- Begin what?
Voice: I suppose.
--Suddenly a reddish gas bubble thing comes out of nowhere and envelops Naruto--
Naruto: Hey! Wha...AH! GAAAAHHH!! -Naruto feels like his insides are being ripped out slowly and the rusty red color of the nine-tailed fox begins to leak out of his mouth, eyes, and ears- -screams- AAAAAHHHHH!!
--BACK WITH RISU AND RYUME AND EVERYBODY--
Taiyou: Hey, Kasaigaru? Are we near Naruto?
Kasaigaru: Not really.
Risu: If whoever's taken Naruto hurts him I am going to rip them to shreds. Slowly though, first their fingernails, then...
Ryume: Please, Risu. Stop.
Risu: Sorry. -mutters under her breath- And then their eyes. Those I'll dig out with my fingernails. Then I'll cut their ears off with a slightly dull kunai...-continues to mutter tortures she is going to inflict upon the kidnappers-
Taiyou: Kasaigaru, how much longer till we reach Naruto?-before Kasaigaru could respond, Risu yells in shock-
Risu: -is now up in a net in a tree- Uh, guys? A little help here?
Taiyou: You okay?
Risu: -says while pulling out a kunai- I'm fine. I'm gonna try to cut these ropes okay? -begins to saw at the ropes with the kunai-
Ryume: How's it coming?
Risu: Uh, this isn't rope.
Taiyou: What do you mean?
Risu: Exactly what I said. This is like a metal or something. My kunai isn't cutting it.
-suddenly the net starts to shrink-
Risu: Whoa!! What the heck? Hey!
Ryume: What happening?!
Risu: The net! It's shrinking! Agh! It's gonna crush me! I can't move!
Taiyou: Hold on Risu! I'll get you down! -jumps up in the tree and gnaws at the net-
Risu: -gasps as the net gets tighter and tighter around her body- Hurry! I can't...breathe...
Taiyou: I can't break it!! -tears at the net desperately-
Ryume: -jumps in the tree and begins to saw at the net with a kunai, trying to break it-
Risu: Ah! -there is a snap and a flash of pain and then a glow of warmth as one of Risu's ribs breaks then heals- Hurry... -gasps in short shallow breaths- I...can't...brea...breathe...
Ryume: Kasaigaru!
Kasaigaru: Right. -he jumps up to the tree branch and calls out- Watch out!
Ryume: -nudges everyone out of the way just as a flame of black and red comes out of Kasaigaru's mouth-
Kasaigaru: -closes his jaws as the flame burns through the metal and the passed out Risu falls-
Taiyou: -jumps off of the tree and catches Risu- Risu!! Risu!! Are you okay!?
Ryume: -smiles- Nice job Kasaigaru. But there wasn't enough of the red flame.
Kasaigaru: -nods- Yes, I know. I'll work on that.
Ryume: -looks over at Taiyou and Risu- How is she?
Taiyou: She'll be fine. Just passes out. If she rests a bit she'll wake up.
Ryume: Alright. Kasaigaru how about-
Kasaigaru: -interrupts- I go on ahead. Sure.
Ryume: -smiles and cocks her eyebrow at him-
Kasaigaru: -smirks and disappears into the shadows-
Ryume: -sighs and leans against a tree with her eyes closed and hands behind her head.- Might as well just wait.
--About 20 minutes after Risu got out of the tree--
Risu: -opens her eyes halfway-
Taiyou: -is right in Risu's face- You okay?
Risu: -blinks and pushes Taiyou away- I'm fine. -sits up- How'd you guys get me out?
Ryume: It was Kasaigaru.
Risu: -looks around for him- Where is he?
Taiyou: He went ahead.
Risu: -gets up- Well then lets go! -ninja jumps away-
Taiyou: -thinks; She's an idiot...
--Later--
Risu: -is ninja jumping about 10 feet ahead of everybody, thinking; Naruto, I'm sorry...
Taiyou: -catches up with Risu- What's up?
Risu: We have to find Naruto.
Taiyou: I'm sure he's fine.
Risu: He's not.
Taiyou: -glances at Risu- How're you sure?
Risu: I just know.
Taiyou: How?
Risu: It's just like how I know when you're in trouble or not.
Taiyou: Yeah, but we have a link. We've had it since you found me in that alleyway.
Risu: It's the same thing.
Taiyou: It's impossible. It CAN'T be the same thing.
Risu: -yells at Taiyou- WELL IT IS!! HE'S HURTING AND IN PAIN AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS!! I HAVE TO FIND HIM!! -now has tears running down her face-
Taiyou: I know. We have to find him though. If it's the Akatsuki...!
Risu: -interrupts- If it's the Akatsuki, I'm going to rip them all apart with my hands. While they're still conscious.
Taiyou: Risu...
Risu: -tears are still coming- Just leave me alone for a while.
Taiyou: -nods and falls back with Ryume-
Ryume: -Been watching from behind and looks solely at Risu. -Thinks; Man, this is bad... Risu doesn't look so good. She's probably blaming herself of what happened...-sigh-
Kasaigaru: -suddenly jumps out from the shadows and leaps next to Ryume- Found them.
Ryume: Them? As in enemies? Or both enemy and Naruto?
Kasaigaru: Them, I mean as in two enemies and a knocked out Naruto.
Ryume: So there are only two enemies.
Risu: They're underestimating us -says through gritted teeth, still trying to hold back tears-
Kasaigaru: Yes, but we shouldn't underestimate them.
Ryume: Good point.
Kasaigaru: There's one thing that's bugging me, though.
Ryume: What is it?
-Everyone looks at him intentionally-
Kasaigaru: Kabuto is among them.
Ryume: What?! I thought he was an ally!
Kasaigaru: He's an ally among OUR team, who said he was for anybody else? He may be friends with our teammate Rynn, but who said anything about anyone else?
Ryume: That little...
Risu: Where are they?
Kasaigaru: About 5 miles ahead.
Risu: -thinks- They're all dead. -done thinking- Let's go! -goes WAY faster-
Taiyou: RISU!! WAIT!! -speeds up to try and catch up with Risu-
--About 30 min later--
Risu: -approaches a big boulder that is in front of a cave- -narrows eyes and puts her ear against the boulder, listening-
Taiyou: -lands next to Risu- Risu what are you...?
Risu: Shut up! -continues listening- -suddenly her eyes blaze- Naruto!! -begins punching the boulder, trying to break it apart-
Taiyou: Risu! Stop it!! -grabs Risu's shirt and pulls her back from the boulder- What are you doing!?
Risu: -struggles against Taiyou- It's Naruto!! He's screaming!!
Taiyou: Calm down!! I'll get in!!
Risu: -stops moving-
Taiyou: Thank you. -let's go of Risu and moves towards the boulder- Hmmm.. -suddenly jumps high into the air, grows into the biggest form she has, and then focuses all of her weight to her feet and lands on the boulder hard, cracking the boulder-
Risu: -grins evilly and thinks- Naruto, whoever's hurting you, they are so FUCKING dead...-
Ryume: -has been in deep thought.-
Kasaigaru: -is seated on the ground and moves his head to the left to dodge a piece of rock. Then he notices Ryume. He clears his throat loud enough for her to hear but not Risu or Taiyou to hear-
Ryume: -hears it and blinks a couple times, coming back to reality. She mumbles- Oh, sorry.
Kasaigaru: What's troubling you?
Ryume: It's Kabuto. Is he associated with a group that's after Naruto? I thought it was just with Mr. O.
Kasaigaru: -chuckles- Even when you're at a serious moment, you still will never say his name, will you?
Ryume: -starts to walk towards Risu and Taiyou who are entering the cave. And she says as if it's nothing, or 'are you serious' tone- Of Course Not!
Kasaigaru: -smiles at himself and at his master. Before entering the cave, his eyes glow neon green...-
Taiyou: -jumps one final time and the boulder crumbles to bits-
Risu: Thanks. -walks through the rubble and into the dark cave-
Taiyou: Wait. -turns back into her normal size and catches up with Risu-
Risu: I can't see.
Taiyou: Human eyes are pathetic.
Risu: Hang on... -focuses a little bit of her chakra to her hand and her hand is enveloped in a green haze, like a lantern-
Taiyou: Clever. But a waste of chakra.
Risu: It's only a little chakra.
Taiyou: But chakra all the same.
Risu: -sighs and turns around- Come on Ryume! Hurry! I can still hear Naruto.
Ryume: -speeds up and answers Risu- Coming. Let's go Kasaigaru
Kasaigaru: -eyes goes back to regular green color. Doesn't answer Ryume but instead just follows her inside-
Ryume: -watches as Risu fast walks into the cave. Unfortunately, she takes her time and stays behind with Kasaigaru. Thinks- I hope Naruto's okay, and Risu's taking this a bit hard. This is so confusing. I wish things could clear up with the kidnapping of Naruto and Kabuto being involved. Aren't Mr.O and Kabuto after Sasuke? Not Naruto...
Kasaigaru: Can you see?
Ryume: -back to reality. She looks ahead and sees barely a glimpse of Risu's chakra. She'd gone ahead and Ryume had spazzed out.- Yeah, I'm fine.
Risu: -cringes as she listens hard for Naruto and hears his screams getting louder as they got closer-
Taiyou: Ow. I hear him too. It's hurting my ears.
Risu: Let's go... -begins to run through the tunnel. Calls behind her- Come ON!! -glares in front of her, trying to see through the dense blackness and then she sees a red glow coming from ahead- There...-speeds up her run and the rd glow get brighter until she is in a cavern-
Taiyou: Risu! -stops by Risu's side, cringing hard-
Risu: -hears that Naruto's screams are extremely loud and searches for him. Screams- Naruto!! WHERE ARE YOU!!
Taiyou: Risu! Look up!!
Risu: -looks straight up and she freezes in shock and rage- NARUTO!! -above them is Naruto, floating in a red haze, writhing and screaming in pain as the fox is pulled out of him-
Taiyou: -looks at Risu and sees that her eyes are hard and determined- Don't even think about it Risu.
Risu: Too late. -before Taiyou can do anything, Risu runs at the wall, leaps and bounces off the wall into the air. Straight towards where Naruto is-
Taiyou: Risu!!
Risu: -flies towards Naruto but right when she should've gone through the haze, she actually slammed into the haze, like it was a brick wall. The impact knocked the air out of Risu and broke a rib that set itself about healing right away- Oww... -falls from the air-
Taiyou: -positions herself under Risu, catching her- You really are an idiot.
Voice: -laughter rang through the air suddenly-
Risu: -jumps off of Taiyou's back and pulls out 3 kunai and 3 senbon- Who's there!!
Voice: Why, Risu, you don't recognize me? Pity, I thought you were smart...
Risu: -suddenly stand stock still. Whispers- Wait...no...your dead...
Voice: Well, in theory.
Taiyou: Wha...??
Risu: Yupiteru...?
Voice: Yes...cousin?
