YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Capture

Chapter 1
Sweetheart

It had been a simple mission. Kill the guy, find the girl, and give her back to her father. If the location wasn't so far away they would have finished it within 4-5 days. They had the information on the point in which they were to intervene and they had.

The poor guy didn't know what hit him, but then again team 7 had overestimated him. The client had said the enemy Nin was powerful and had insisted on the whole team be sent, but then again, any worried father would think the worse if a man had kidnapped their daughter, be it an S-class Nin or a beggar.

Still the client was a rich noble of Tea Country and the payout from it wasn't half bad. If he wanted to pay for five shinobi to go on a mission that could be completed by one then so be it.

They had found the guy, although powerful, he was barely above jounin level. Upon fighting him however, they had realised that he was simply escorting the girl back to the man behind the whole operation.

Rather than risk losing her again, they decided not to infiltrate the leader's camp. Upon killing the messenger they had made a rather swift escape so in the case that the leader had found out, at least they had a head start.

They had finally come to rest halfway from their intervention point and the boarder of Tea and Fire country. It wasn't exactly far, but if the enemy had no idea or clue on who had attacked their man then they couldn't exactly track them.

Sitting on the edge of the woodland that looked out to an open field, they began pulling small snacks out of their bag.

Sakura, moved from her place to sit beside the small and frightened girl.

The girl barely looked over the age of 12. What kind of monster would want to kidnap a girl at such a young age? It was disgusting, the very thought of what the man would want her to do was enough to bring bile to her throat.

"Do you want something to eat?" She asked in a soft voice, earning a nod from the girl she handed her an apple and a sandwich.

"It's not much, but once we're past the border we can eat something proper." She reassured smiling. "So, what's your name?"

"Aya" the small girl replied in a voice barely above a whisper.

"Ok, I'm Sakura." She introduced before looking towards her team. "The blonde one's Naruto, the pale looking one is Sai, that's Sasuke and that's Kakashi" She began pointing to each of her team mates in turn. "Don't be afraid to ask us anything, we're all willing to help, well… me and Naruto are anyway."

The girl only smiled in return before taking a bite of her apple. The silence ensued once more before the girl asked in a hushed tone.

"Where exactly are we going?"

"To Konoha, You're father is waiting for you there." Aya turned her head towards Sakura with a confused look.

"My father?" she questioned.

"Yeah…" She raised her eyebrow at the girl. The girl looked back down to the ground.

"I didn't know I had a father…" she said.

"Didn't kno-? Wait. He said you live with him." She pressed with a questioning look. Aya turned back to her, with a look on her face as if she was trying to recollect her memories, with a slight shake of her head she whispered.

"I don't remember anything before my capture…" she trailed off.

Sakura raised an eyebrow once again and was going to question her further when Kakashi announced.

"It'll be roughly 3 days before we get back to Konoha, that's if Aya wouldn't mind someone carrying her" Kakashi looked towards her as if asking if it was ok. She looked up towards him and gave him a small nod.

"Right, we should get moving." He started picking himself up along with his bag. "Aya, you'll be with me for the first part ok?" Earning another nod from said girl. "Naruto, you'll be carrying her next"

Once they had everything ready and had finished eating, they set off over the clearing at top speed.

A kunai whisked past his ear as he dodged to the left. Falling onto one hand he then pushed off to flip back onto his feet while pulling out 2 shuriken and throwing them at the enemy Nin's throat. They had hit with deadly precision.

Somehow the word had gotten out that they had killed the messenger. Enemy Nin that were supposedly hired by the leader had been sent to track them. They had caught up with them 15 minutes after they had continued from their rest by the border of the forest. With at least 20 Nin on their tail they had no other choice but try to cut the numbers down.

"Sakura!" Kakashi shouted "Get Aya to the border!" Dodging another flurry of kunai and shuriken headed his way.

Sakura, hearing her Sempai's order, quickly dashed into the undergrowth of the shrubs and plants to fetch the sobbing girl.

"Come on! We need to get you out of here now" She insisted, grabbing the shaking girl's hand. The girl was only a little smaller than Sakura herself and her chakra had begun to deplete, carrying her wouldn't be an option. With this in mind, she quickly took Aya's hand and made her way through a hidden route between the trees, out of sight from the enemy Nin. Glancing at her team mates she realised that they had taken it upon themselves to occupy all remaining enemy Nin in hope that they would aid her in her getaway.

Clasping Aya's hand tightly she made her way over the densely vegetated area, ducking under branches here and there. After at least 5 minutes had passed they had come to a small river, rather than waste time trying to find a safe spot for Aya to cross, she had sent chakra to her feet as she told Aya to get on her back. They had made it halfway across the river when she had caught a flicker of a shadow in the corner of her eye.

Turning her head briskly, she discovered that she had been followed. Great, this was all she needed. Quickly picking up her pace to cross the river she was then stopped dead in her tracks as an enemy Nin cut her direction off.

The man looked in his mid twenties. He was tall with long black hair lifted into a somewhat half ponytail that brushed the top of his shoulders. His attire consisted of a standard jounin uniform but without a forehead protector she couldn't establish what village he was from. His eyes were his signature. They were a ruby red like Kurenai's that glowed dangerously in the right light. If they were in a different situation, Sakura might have considered the man as handsome.

With her hands preoccupied by holding Aya up, she could only stare at him and await his move so she could make her brisk escape. The man, sensing her predicament drew his mouth up into a menacing smirk.

"Ah ah ah sweetheart." He chuckled slightly, "You're not going anywhere." His eye narrowed dangerously as his smirk grew wider. "Normally, I'd just kill you and take the girl, but there's something about you that I think Kazuhiro Sama will…" he paused, "…enjoy" he whispered as his form disappeared.

Now was her chance, sending a surge of chakra to her feet, she propelled herself off of the running water and onto land nearby. With the hope of outrunning the Nin, Sakura quickly performed a few hand seals whilst in the undergrowth before sending another surge of chakra to her feet and bolting through the trees in hope to lose him. Slipping through gaps, she bound forward only to see his form reappear 15 feet in front of her, making her come to a halt once again.

"Ooh! I hadn't known you were going to be that quick! Still it didn't do you much good did it?" The Nin chuckled darkly taking a step forward as Sakura copied a step back.

"Aya," Sakura began in a hushed tone so that the Nin wouldn't hear "Once I put you down, I need you to run as fast as you can in that direction" she ordered, nodding her head slightly towards North East.

"Ok" Aya replied, readying her feet. Sakura looked back to the Nin for a moment before releasing her and dashing forward whilst pulling out a kunai from her pouch.

The Nin widened his eyes in surprise but quickly averted his eyes to the running girl; dodging the kunai sent from Sakura he shot a smirk at her before taking off after the girl. Within seconds he had caught her. His grin had now returned as he looked towards Sakura. Holding his ninjato to Aya's throat to keep Sakura from doing anything stupid he began.

"Very foolish girl. Still you nearly had me, I'll give you that. But did you think I wouldn't go after her when you left her so vulnerable?" His grin intensified. Sakura looked up from behind her bangs and just smiled.

"Actually," She began, as the enemy Nin's grin faltered slightly, "I was counting on it." As soon as she finished the sentence, she produced the hand seals. The hidden bomb seals that were attached to Aya were suddenly lit and before the Nin realised, Aya burst into a shadow clone of Sakura before blowing up completely as the bombs exploded.

Aya, who had waited in the undergrowth by the river until he had been distracted quickly took off in the direction that Sakura had ordered her clone to just seconds before.

Dashing past them, she glanced over to Sakura who smiled in determination for her. Returning the smile, she quickly picked up the pace and continued running.

Sakura diverted her attention to the ball of mass that had been the Nin, before smiling.

"Very foolish boy" she twisted his words around to him before smiling once again.

Suddenly a ninjato similar to the one the Nin had been using shot out from the bushes beside her. Dodging too slow it had caught her stomach, slicing through the fabric and skin as she tried to jump back.

Wincing in pain she brought her hand up to her stomach as she looked for the culprit. Smoke had erupted in front of her as the mass that she thought was the dead Nin burst into a log. She snarled in agitation as a kunai came from behind her and was pressed to her throat enough to make her grimace at the slight pain. Grabbing both of her hands and locking them behind her back, his infamous chuckle erupted from his throat once more.

"Man you've got guts. Scratch what I said earlier, I want you all to myself" She could practically hear the grin on his face as he leant forward and inhaled the scent of her hair. She recoiled in disgust, struggling to get out of his hold when the kunai was pressed harder against her throat, she halted her movements.

"None of that now sweetheart, firstly we'll have to find that little scrat. As much as Kazuhiro-Sama would appreciate that I brought you, He'll still want her as well," he nudged her forward with his arms "Get moving."

Stumbling forward, she curved her hand so she could reach into her back pouch, taking out a small pill like object she quickly crushed it and left the remnants on the floor. Turning her head slightly, she looked to see the smoky pink haze being produced and rising into the atmosphere. That would let her team know she was in a spot of trouble and come looking for her.

"Where is she?!" Naruto demanded,

"Quiet down Naruto-kun, she took another route seeing as we were fighting at the time. It may have just taken her a little longer" Sai assured.

"I still don't see why you gave her the job…" Sasuke began, Naruto quickly shot up in defence.

"What the fuck does that mean Sasuke…?"

"She wasn't fit to get the girl out of here, you know very well she's not the fastest, plus the girl was around the same weight so carrying her would be difficult" He replied in a monotone voice.

"What the-? That's Bullshit! You know Sakura-Chan's stronger than that Sasuke so don't even try to insult her!" Naruto retorted, his voice becoming louder.

"Shut it. The both of you." Kakashi chimed in. "Sai's right. The route she had to take would have been a lot longer seeing as she didn't want any of the enemy Nin noticing her." The two rivals became silent as they awaited their last team mate.

Kakashi sighed, Naruto was right about Sakura. Over the past few years she was definitely stronger. Now at the age of 18 she had become an elite kunoichi, it could be easily said that she was the best of her generation. Hell from what he heard, she even passed the Godaime herself when it came to her medicinal skills. The Hokage, with nothing left to teach the girl that she couldn't find out for herself, had ended her tutelage. Now, with regular sparring sessions from her friends to quickly improve her taijutsu skills, she was now perfectly capable on defending herself.

Truth be told, they all were. In the past few years his team had grown leaps and bounds. Naruto, now able to control the kyuubi inside of him, was focusing on improving his signature techniques and was well on his way to fulfilling his dream as the next Hokage.

Sasuke, who had returned once his revenge was complete, was also focusing on his ninpo and ways to improve himself now that he wasn't hell bent on rage for his brother.

And even though he had rarely worked with Sai before, he could see he had changed along with them. From his first perception of the boy he seemed a recluse, someone who didn't want friends and frankly, didn't need them. But since his introduction into team 7 he had broken down walls that ANBU root spent years to make in a matter of months.

Not only had they all excelled in their shinobi skills to propel them into the ranks of Jounin and if they wanted, ANBU, they had also matured, physically and emotionally.

Sakura was now a fully fledged woman, as much as Kakashi hated to admit. She had grown in more ways than one and from what he had heard from gossip of the recent years, she certainly had people lining up for her, whether she noticed or not. Not that he already knew that anyway, as weird as it was for him to say it, she had grown up into a beautiful kunoichi.

The boys, mainly Naruto, were now on par with Sakura's maturity. Give or take a few instances in which Naruto would return from a journey with Jiraiya or meet up with Konohamaru and have a sexy no jutsu stand off to see who would pool a nosebleed first, but in those cases it was simply boys being boys. Perfectly understandable.

Kakashi, who was currently laughing quietly on the recollections of the past experiences, was currently directed by a large blast that had erupted south west of their location. They wouldn't have intervened if they had not spotted the pink smoke rising into the air a couple of minutes later. Now alert, they swiftly made their way into the direction.

Aya crouched beneath the bushes as she peered through to see Sakura. He had got her. What was she going to do now? She couldn't exactly make a run for it, he'd catch her in a matter of seconds and if she did run, Sakura would suffer the consequences. If she stayed, the outcome would be the same. The path in which they were headed was directly in her direction. If she stayed where she was, he would no doubt find her.

She had seen Sakura drop the object and thankfully, the Nin had not turned round at any point in which to discover the pink smoke currently rising in the air. She figured it was a signal, for times like this where she could do nothing and needed the help of her comrades. The pink aspect to the smoke, Aya thought, was very clever. It would no doubt let her team mates know that it was her that needed help. These shinobi were very skilful indeed.

A snap of a twig pulled her out of her revere and directed her attention to the oncoming Nin. Still undecided, she had no choice but to stay put. Shifting her weight so she could crouch lower to the ground in hope that they would walk past her, she realised all too quickly that she had dishevelled the leaves and twigs, causing them to snap. Wincing at the sound that the Nin would have obviously heard she slowly turned her head back to the Nin.

He had stopped dead. That stupid grin plastered on his face. Yep, he had heard it. She might as well had just stood up and shouted 'YEAH IM HERE! YOOHOO!'

He glanced towards Sakura before turning to the direction in which Aya was in. He wasn't exactly looking at her. He knew the sound had come from over here but wasn't able to pin point her exact location. Still the smirk remained on his face.

"Well..? Come on out then. It's pointless trying to hide when I know you're here girl." His eyes shifting from one bush to the next, earning no reaction from the girl, he averted his attention to the kunai at Sakura's throat, pushing it towards her neck enough to make her hiss. He looked out towards the woodland again.

"Well? Come on! You don't want Pinkie here getting hurt do you" Repeating the action again earning him another hiss.

"Stay where you are Aya!" Sakura ordered slightly breathing hard "Don't you dare give away you're position!" she announced, struggling to keep the kunai from biting into her neck any further. If she could just keep him distracted for a few more moments then Kakashi would be here. No doubt they would have seen the smoke and realised she was in need of there aid. If Aya could see the smoke from her position then hopefully she could put two and two together and realise that it was a signal and to keep quiet for as long as she could.

"Shut it..." He whispered as he turned towards her and slightly nuzzled the shell of her ear with his nose. She had immediately pulled away from the contact; the look of disgust on her face was adorable. He quickly turned his attention to the shrubs yet again.

"Don't listen to her Aya" Putting emphasis on her name. "It'll only be a matter of time before I find you… So why don't you save her the pain and just come to me." A silence ensued once again, he sighed in frustration.

"Have it your way" he scraped the kunai down her skin, enough to leave a reddened trail but not bloody, down to her right shoulder, looking out once more he smirked.

"three…. two…. one...." He sighed as he plunged the kunai into the middle of her shoulder. She screamed in pain, leaning forward as he dislodged it from her shoulder and pulled it back up to her throat. Breathing heavily she glanced up to make sure Aya hadn't given away her position just yet.

He had glanced around too. There was no sign; she wasn't giving up that easily. Why did they have to be so difficult? As much as he wanted to prove a point, he didn't exactly want to bloody up the kunoichi currently in his hold. For now he wanted to savour the image of her creamy skin unmarred and untainted.

Sighing yet again he began counting as he scraped the kunai down to her other shoulder.

"three…. two…. on-"

"Stop!" He heard her cry, looking up he could see she had crawled out from under the shrubs, his grin remerging on his face once more. "Please! Don't hurt her!"

Sakura had readied herself for another wound, the sound of Aya's crying had shot through her like a bullet, and her stomach slowly sank. This was it. They were done for. She could feel the slight hum of her team's chakra coming nearer. But it was no where near enough for them to prevent this kidnapping.

A clone of the Nin that must have been hiding until Aya had made herself known quickly burst forth out of the cover of the trees. Quickly grabbing hold of her, he adjusted her into the same position as Sakura. With her hands behind her back and a kunai to her throat Aya looked over to the original.

"See? Was it really that hard? I had to go through all that trouble and now look what it's got me, a kunoichi with a bleeding shoulder wound that I didn't really want to inflict in the first place. You really are selfish Aya…" He said, shaking his head at her. Aya cast her eyes to the floor.

"Don't listen to him Aya…" Sakura said softly "I promise you… He won't be teasing once I shove a kunai through his throat…" She promised, venom seeping through her tone. It only served the Nin to chuckle darkly once more.

"I look forward to it sweetheart." Moving his hand up towards her injured shoulder and putting pressure on the wound, earning a small whimper from the kunoichi.

"Right! Guess we should be going then" he announced cheerfully "I'm bored of this cat and mouse shit" pulling out two scrolls from his flak jacket. Tossing one to his clone they began opening it. Sakura began to struggle once more earning her another dig in the throat. Sighing in frustration she stopped.

She could do nothing now. They had tried to stall but in the end it proved futile. The only other thing she could do now was to shout. But that would only serve to hasten the Nin into performing the transportation jutsu, besides she didn't know how far they were now anyway. The hum of their chakra had increased since she last checked if they could wait another minute they would indeed be here, but the Nin was already rolling the scroll out, it only took a hand sign to complete the jutsu and that could be done in seconds.

Suddenly through the clearing of the trees she saw a flash of silver followed by yellow and black. Her heart stopped. Here already? Trust Kakashi to keep up the speed in the time of her need. He knew it was important. They were roughly 20 meters away. Close enough for her to call.

Breathing in, she hollered at the top of her voice.

"KAKASHI!!! HURRY! OVER HERE!" The Nin shot up as her voice hit his ears;, scanning the area he caught sight of the approaching team mates. Scowling he picked up the pace and hissed 'hurry' to his clone.

Sakura managed to get a hand free, trying to pull his hand away from her neck she succeeded only for a matter of seconds before his hand was upon her once again. Whispering in her ear.

"Time to go sweetheart"

Her eyes widened as his hand pulled up into the hand sign. Shit! She had to think of something.. In the event of her being transported she would need some sort of tracking… Wait. Tracking! Kakashi's ninken! All they needed was a garment and they would be able to catch her captor's scent from anywhere. Quickly scanning his attire from over her shoulder she found nothing loose.

Hurry…

Hurry!

Finding nothing she simple lifted her free hand up and yanked at the frayed shoulder pad of his flak jacket pulling it clean off. Kakashi was but 4 meters from her, launching her arm out grasping clothing, he had made the same gesture.

She let go of the material in time for the enemy Nin to pull her flush against his body. She was gone. She knew it. Looking to her Sempai she uttered a word barely audible to anyone within a meter radius.

Her pleading eyes met his before the huge cloud of smoke erupted from where she once was. Kakashi, arms outstretched launched himself only to be met by the cold hard floor as his team mate had vanished.

Looking up from where he sat, he noted that Aya had gone too. Growling in frustration he cursed loud enough for the heavens to hear. Standing up he bit the pad of his thumb with wild urgency to summon his dog pack leader.

"Yo." The small pug greeted as the smoke dissipated.

"Sakura's been taken along with a girl we rescued. I need you to the enemy Nin's scent" Handing him the scrap of clothing. "And quick"

The pug, looking down at the cloth sniffed at it for a while before looking back up at Kakashi.

"They used a transportation jutsu didn't they…" earning a nod from the copy Nin, the pug sighed.

"This will take a lot longer than it usually does. You know that Kakas-"

"Just find her Pakkun..." The dog sighed once again.

"I'll try my best…"

The copy Nin stood back up, as the dog transported back with the shoulder pad to gain help from his dog pack. Sighing in frustration he looked towards the clearing of the woods.

"You think he'll find her?" Naruto questioned in a worried tone.

"He'll find her…" Kakashi began, before whispering "Let's just hope he makes it in time though…" Her voice plaguing his mind as he heard her last sentence before she had disappeared.

"Hurry Kakashi…"

You still with me? xD Ok tell me how it went please. So i can adjust things Yuh. Chapter 2 is ready but i want to know if its worth carrying on ok? =D
