A/N: It's nearly 4 a.m and I can't sleep so I thought I might as well get started on this fic. It is my first one so I hope you enjoy it.

This takes place during the two and a half year time skip.

By the way I do not own Naruto or any of the characters except the OCs, those are mine.


Night had fallen over the Village Hidden in the Sand. Midnight had come and gone and the darkened streets were silent as death. A malevolent aura permeated the night air, yet it went unnoticed. One lone figure lurked in the shadows of an alley. "I know they are here, all I have to do is find them." His musing complete, he melted into the shadows of the night. The stage is now set and the wheels of fate have begun to turn.

The last mission had been a long one, and now all Temari wanted was a well-deserved night's sleep in her own bed. She made her way home alone. Kankuro and Gaara had gone ahead while she had stopped by the bathhouse to wash away the layer of sweat and blood (mostly someone else's) that she had accumulated over the last few days. Most people wouldn't dare to walk those streets so late alone. But, then again, Temari wasn't most people. She could more than hold her own in a fight and on top of that she was the daughter of the Fourth and sister of the Fifth Kazekage. Few people in the village were brave enough to even cross her path, so she was not afraid to relax her guard while walking the silent streets. Her sense of safety and her exhaustion had dulled her senses to the point that she did not feel the razor thin wire that wrapped around her wrists.

The next thing she knew, she was pinned against the wall of a dark alley by a pair of large hands. One was over her mouth, holding it shut, the other was around her throat, ready to snap her neck if she tried to escape. The strength of those hands was incredible. She tried to struggle but her arms and legs were bound tightly.

"Just relax" said a voice so cold Temari shivered at the sound of it, "You won't be going anywhere for a while. Now make sure she stays quiet Yodai."

"Right." said the man who was holding her. His voice was so deep it seemed to come from the earth itself.

"When do we get to kill her Kira?" said a third. This voice was frantic but dripping with malice and bloodlust.

"After I'm finished, Sho" the icy voice replied, "Besides, if we kill her now then we won't get to have any fun with her."

"All right" replied the manic voice, "Just don't take so long this time. I can't wait to cut her to pieces!"

"Don't worry; you'll get to have your fun" said the icy voice "Now then, let's get started, shall we?"

And so they began their unspeakable act, unaware that a shadowy figure watched from above.

"I've finally found you." The shade thought as an unseen grin crept across his face.


So what did you think? I would greatly appreciate any reviews. I apologise for how short it is but like I said it's almost 4 in the morniing. The next chapters will be longer, I promise.
