Ch.1
Taken
*Sakura*
The others were out stone cold. Hinata had a gash on her head that was bleeding to much to make it seem safe. TenTen had lost color in her face flat on the ground with a shiriken still in her legs, arms and in her back. Ino was in better shape than the others, someone having hit her on the head with a bat, but even that was scary. I could feel my own wounds, healing them as I lay on the ground on my side. Something had brushed past my side leaving a deep wound.
"You awake I see." Someone laughed. No, I knew that voice. Kabuto. His footsteps walked over to me casually and he bent down, placing a hand on my wound and the other one hovering over the rest of my body, healing them.
"What are you doing?" I spat at him. But I was tied up and unable to move.
"I'm simply healing your wounds so that you can heal theirs." I caught a glimpse of his glasses in the pale light from the fire behind him. "And I can assure you wont run away right?" He chuckled then walked over to Hinata and TenTen who lay near each other on the ground. He kicked TenTen to her back and she groaned when the sharp objects pushed into her body more. He then glanced at Hinata and grabbed her, shaking her roughly awake.
"Huh?" The poor girl said tiredly, gazed at the boy with confusion, and glazed eyes, not entirely there.
He held a kunai to her throat and pressed. At that, Hinata's eyes went wide feeling the metal against her skin and began to struggle weakly.
"Heal them, I assure you won't run away?" He laughed and pressed the kunai into her skin harder. "Right Sakura?"
"Y-yes." I stuttered fearfully. He glanced over to TenTen.
"Might want to take care of her first." He smirked.
TenTen was wiggling now, trying to get ride of the pain and her eyes opened wide, her mouth open in a soundless scream.
Kabuto undid my bounds and I crawled over to TenTen. Her brown eyes glanced at me in pain and confusion.
"Sshh…"I soothed her brushing back her hair before turning her on her stomach. TenTen gave a thankful sigh when the pressure was released from the pain in her back.
"Sakura?" She whispered. "What's going on?" She winced while I carefully pulled out the weapons and healed her wounds.
"Don't know." I pointed to Ino and Hinata. Kabuto held her tightly, kunai still pressed to her neck. "But we can't do anything, and Ino's still out cold.
TenTen moaned in annoyance and pain. "Psycho people get on my dang nerves." She mumbled. I patted her back reassuringly before reaching for some bandages placed near by. Lifting up her shirt, I wrapped her up quickly while guarding her from sight of Kabuto.
"Ino's turn?" She asked.
"Yup."
She relaxed into the ground, hands tied behind her back and watched me. From time to time throwing Hinata a 'hang-in-there' look.
I walked over to Ino and nudged her awake.
"What?" She mumbled and winced in pain. "Dear lord my head hurts!" She moaned.
"It's okay Ino." I assured her and checked out the back of her head were the worst of it was. There was a small blotch of blood on her blond hair and I set to healing it fast as I could. "Were in a bit of a bind. Can you tell me what you remember?"
"Ummm…" Ino thought it over, more aware of her surroundings as she took in the sight behind me. "Training, I remember training then someone attacking us. Naruto yelled something like, "Traitor!" I think and then, things get fuzzy." I nod my head and wrap up her head.
"That's just fine." I smiled.
"Sakura." She questioned before I could leave.
"Hm?"
"Were, were probably going to die hu?" She questioned. I didn't answer. I didn't know how. Instead, I walked over to Kabuto.
"Will you let me heal her?" He shrugged and tossed Hinata to me, she yelped in surprise. The jerk.
"Hey Hinata." I said, bending her down and healing the wound on her head.
"H-hi Sa-kura." She stuttered quietly giving me a small tired smile.
"You'll be fine now." I wrapped her head and wiped away the blood. "Just sleep." I turned around to Ino. "You sleep to. Okay?"
"But…" She tried to argue.
"Sleep." We'll need out strength for whatever this brings us. I looked at TenTen, "You to. K?"
She nods and in almost seconds is asleep. Ino follows soot but Hinata speaks to me again.
"A-are you s-scared?" Her lip trembled. I nod my head and lay down beside her, Kabuto comes back over and ties me up again before walking away.
"Yes." I said quietly after he had gone. "Very."
Hinata nodded and soon fell fast asleep. I followed soon after, unable to stay up any longer.
*Hinata*
I woke up with a headache, the morning light blinding me briefly. Blinking sleep out of my eyes I glanced around and spotted Sakura next to me still asleep, her breath coming out evenly in sleep. Ino was behind her stirring and Kabuto was sitting by the fire eating something. But where was TenTen?
I sat up quickly to look for her. A hard feet with my hands tied behind my back and the dizzy spell that washed over me.
"TenTen!" I called out franticly waking Sakura and Ino in the process. I turned my head while colors and sounds blazed into me making my headache worse.
"Hinata?" I no questioned.
"Oh, good," Kabuto walked over and untied our feet forcing us roughly to stand. Both Ino and me leaned against Sakura when our aching heads throbbed.
"Where's TenTen?" Ino glared at Kabuto.
He shrugged. "She had a fever last night, and Lord Orochimaru had no time for people who are already sick. They won't last, I left her in the woods." He made us walk forward in a straight line, a heavy silence weighed on us.
TenTen could be hurt and dying but he left her all alone! I prayed that she would be found and saved, then I equally prayed that we would be found to. I didn't want to go to wherever this guy was taking us.
I was jolted out of my thoughts when I tripped onto the ground. Kabuto sighed tiredly and lifted me up painfully before setting me into a cart. Cart? When did that get here? He lifted Sakura and Ino in next and we huddled together.
"Sakura?" Ino questioned. "Hinata? Any of you got a clue as to what's going on."
We shook our heads. Nope, not a clue.
Kabuto called from the front and we turned to face him. "Lay down." He said strictly and we did as we were told glaring at him and he gazed at us with amusement. He then covered us with a tarp, opening the end so we could breath and he said, "It's fast this way."
The sound of a whip cracked and the horse at the front reared away fast as he could. My stomach jump at the movement and Ino moaned.
"Deep breaths." Sakura rolled onto her stomach and looked at the two of us. "Deep breaths you two."
With a dizzy head I did as she told me, taking slow deep breaths and Ino did the same. Soon the dizzy nauseous feeling lifted somewhat and I was lulled to sleep by the cart creaks and horse thumps.
*Ino*
Hinata fell asleep lulled by the movements of the cart. I had a sick feeling in my gut. I was truly scared, frightened out of my wits.
"Hey Ino." Sakura turned to me with wide green eyes, tears building up. I leaned into her to comfort us both.
"Yeah?"
"Say we'll be okay." She begged in a small whimper. She had held strong till now, but she also had first hand experience with Orochimaru during the chunin exams. She remembered his cruelty. Fear was reasonable and logical at this point.
"Don't know billboard brow, what do you think?" I tried to joke but my voice fell heavy.
"No, don't think we will Ino-pig." She grumbled and smiled softly.
Hinata groaned in her sleep and opened her pale eyes to look at us. "Sshh." She whispered before her eyes closed again.
Sakura laughed nervously. "Hey Hinata, you're head still hurt."
Hinata made a small face like an upset kitten and nodded.
"Concussion probably." The pinkett mumbled to herself. She looked at me with worried green eyes. "Get some sleep to."
"Why should I?" I tried to argue back as yelped when we ran over a bump in the road.
"Strength, we'll need it." She said solemnly. There was now way we could joke ourselves out of this.
"Yo-u t-think TenTen will b-e okay?" Hinata whispered to us, giving up on sleep.
"TenTen's a tough girl." I reassured her, reassured myself. The thought of TenTen being left out in the wild, tied up and sick with fever. Could we be so sure her toughness would prevail?
The world fell to meaningless talk of scared girls trying to maintain a sense of normalcy. A sense that our world hadn't been upturned as it had. So we talked of boys. A stupid thing to talk about in this time, but with nothing else to do, nothing else to keep our spirits up. We talked.
"Come on Hinata." Sakura whined playfully with a sad smile. "We know you like Naruto."
At the mere mention of the boys name her face turned beat red and she tried to hide behind her long hair. "A-and?" She questioned.
"Ask him out." I laughed, pretending that this was some trip and we would soon go home. "He's too dense to realize this on his own."
Sakura nodded. "And I think you got a thing for Choji." She said to me. Now that I was a target, Hinata looked over to me and smiled egger to join in.
"I t-think he l-ikes you Ino." She smiled with pink cheeks. I stuck my tongue out at them. Truthfully not to sure about that. I wasn't sure about much. After Naruto had brought Sasuke back when he tried to leave the village, I found that my crush on him had faded. I turned to Sakura.
"What about Sasuke?" Sakura blushed and looked down.
"He still hates his brother a lot." She mumbled. "I think me and Naruto are doing a good job on trying to change that, focus him on his friends." She looked at me. "I'll wait."
"You've never been good at waiting." I mumbled and laughed.
"D-don't fight." Hinata begged us silently.
Sakura giggled and turned her head to the pale eyed girl. "We wont." She winked and Hinata sighed in relief.
"Hey billboard brow, don't drag me into a promise." I sneered.
"Oh, really Ino-pig? Hinata she promises to go out with Choji." Sakura laughed gleefully.
Hinata sighed and hid again behind her hair waiting for us to get it over with and fight. But fighting was to weary right now and a silence fell over the cart.
"S-ay we'll m-make it h-ome." Hinata whimpered, her shoulders shaking.
Both me and Sakura looked at each other, "We'll make it home." No conviction in our words and our own tears began to fall.
*Temari* (A/N: Surprised? Oh, you'll see.)
Really, lost in the woods! Great! Sometimes I really didn't like Kankuro and his pranks. Even worse, he was trying to rebuild a brother bond with Gaara. I was for that and all, but not at the cost of my sanity as he told Gaara that's what little brothers do, annoy their sisters to death. I just prayed that Gaara didn't take that in a literal term.
With an annoyed sigh I sat on the ground at looked to the tops of the trees. I'll climb up in a minuet to see where I'm at, then kick their rear ends to the next century. Invincible sand or not, I'll cut through it.
Something coughed behind me and I jumped. Who else was out here?
"Kankuro if this is another stupid prank you'll get it, I swear if it's the last thing I do." I rushed behind trees following the cough sound a stream of curse words flying out of my mouth a mile a minuet.
I stopped short. In front of me was a girl with brown hair in two buns, she lay on her stomach and the back of her light purple cloths were stained red in blood. She tilted her head to me and I met familiar brown eyes of the Konoha nin. TenTen.
"Hey." I called worriedly rushing to her side and untied the knots in the rope. "You okay? What happened?"
When she didn't move even after I undid her bounds I felt her forehead, she was burning with fever! Another cough racked her body and her limbs twitched in quick spasms.
"Temari?" She looked at me with glazed eyes and then grabbed my sleeve in panic.
"Hey, hey." I soothed her and checker her wounds, surprised to find them bandaged neatly. "It's okay."
"No! No!" She moaned and held my arm in a tight grip. "He…He went away with the others." TenTen let go and stood on shaky legs quickly scanning her surroundings before heading off in one direction. "I have to tell the others." She mumbled and tripped.
Before she could fall, I swiftly caught her in my arms and moved her to my back in a piggy back style. "Tell me what's going on." I said sternly.
With a tired sigh, she leaned on my back. "He took us but left me because I was sick." To prove that she coughed. "Go that way." She pointed to the right. "That's Konoha." She mumbled.
"Okay." I walked off. "What about the others?" What was happening, who took who?
"Sakura, Ino, Hinata." She gasped into my back and shuddered. "He took them to Orochimaru."
I paused in my step. That bastard. The man who killed the hokage, who killed the man I called father. Who used us for his deeds. That man would one day meet the front end of my boot.
"T-Temari?" TenTen begged. "Please can we go faster? I don't know what he'll do to them."
I glanced at her. "Yup, hold on." I said stonily, rushing off in one quick movement as the trees blurred together.
"The others, I think I can tell them which direction they headed in." She mumbled then fell into an exhausted sleep.
"Don't worry TenTen, we'll find them." I soothed the sleeping girl, running as fast as I could and beyond that. Now wasn't the time to take things slow. I had to hurry because my friends life's were on the line.
*Sakura*
The cart pulled to a sudden stop.
"Here!" Kabuto laughed out to loudly. I shuddered and nudged Ino and Hinata awake. The two of them took my advice to get some sleep a while back.
Bright light rushed in and for a minuet blinded me while Kabuto stood me on my feet. Hinata and TenTen thumped beside me and he pushed us forward.
"Where in the world are we?" Ino gaped and as my sight came back I stared at the dark entrance to a cave in the mountain.
"Cave sweet cave." Came Kabuto's sarcastic reply.
I excepted the cave to be dark, but instead when we stepped in small lights shone illuminating the path way in an eerie glow. Hinata shuddered and bit her lip nervously. I couldn't blame her, my own knees were shaking. With each step, we came closer and closer to that snake.
Twists and turns and walls surrounded us everywhere making me confused and disorientated. My feet were sore after five minuets, no, maybe it was longer. I wasn't sure. The three of us stumbled into each other, tired and scared.
"Kabuto." Orochimaru's cold voice sounded out in front of us. "They seem so tired." He laughed, appearing before like a snake out of the dark. When he stepped us a bright light shone from the ceiling illuminating a large lab like area. I shuddered. He was going to use us as experiments.
"Come here girls." He cooed like we were his toys. I guess we were. Kabuto pushed us forward. "Sakura, how nice to see you again, how's Sasuke and the fox?" He laughed again at his unknown joke.
"Wish I could say the same freak." I grumbled.
A sharp pain emitted from my check. He slapped me and I stood their dumbly.
"Now now, don't be rude. Respect your elders." He scolded.
"You shouldn't slap her you jerk!" Ino yelled at him and when I looked at her, her blue eyes were wide with rage. Kabuto hit her in the back and she fell to the ground with a gasp of pain.
"Hey!" I glared at him.
Hinata was closest to him and in a moment of bravery she spat on his shoe, no being able to do much.
"You little…"
"Oh, Kabuto, not now." Orochimaru was behind her instantly. He grabbed Hinata by her hair, his fist intertwined in her raven locks.
"Let her go snake!" Ino fumed. Hinata whimpered when he pulled her hair and I shot Ino a 'shut-up-now!- look.
"It's time don't you think?" He suggested playfully. A smile widened on his pale face and his snake eyes watched us like we were pray. I felt like he was tearing me up with just his eyes.
He vanished from my sight for a second but repapered with Hinata at the edge of the room. Opening a large door that showed only darkness behind it he started to shove her in.
"No!" I yelled and tired to run only to have Kabuto trip me.
Hinata was screaming and kicking out at him. With one shove he cut her ropes but closed her inside that room. I could still hear her muffled cries and pounding on the door before it became deadly silent. I couldn't hear Hinata anymore.
"What did you do!" Ino shouted at him, banging her head on the ground.
Kabuto picked her up, Ino cussing him out the entire time while he led her to a similar door. Orochimar dragged me away by my legs to another door. The last thing I saw was Ino's frightened look as the shoved us into the doors.
Orochimaru's cold voice followed me into the dark. "Let the fun begin."
