Trapped!
A Naruto-Neko original
Don't own Naruto. I so wish I did though.
The sun was rising. Ume was walking through the village rather bored, she walked past a dark alley way a hand came across her mouth and dragged her in. She tried to scream, but the hand was too tight on her mouth to be able to open it. Something hard whacked her head from behind, and everything went dark.

Gaara looked out of the huge window behind his desk. Sun was starting to rise after an all-nighter. However, something was off. He didn't think he could stand being in his office any longer. Gaara stood up and walked out.
Gaara was wearing a robe, the same one he wore when he had met Ume. He didn't want to be tackled by children and fangirls as he walked down the street. He found himself outside the apartment in which Ume had been living in for the past 2 weeks. He knocked on the door. Ume was normally awake by now. There was no answer. Worried, Gaara looked in the window. Ume wasn't there, but there was a note on the table.
Gaara opened the door, which for whatever reason was unlocked. He walked over to the table and read the note, since it was addressed to him.
Gaara,
I'm going out for a walk. I couldn't sleep. I'll be back before 8:30.
Ume
Gaara glanced at the clock, which read 8:15. He decided to wait there for her. It's not like there was anything else he had to do. But, past 9:00, there was still no sign of Ume. Gaara went outside to look for her. He searched all over, but no one had seen her.
Gaara had to return to the mansion eventually, but Ume was on his mind all day. He found it really hard to focus. For dinner, he walked out before Temari could come in with a frozen dinner. He was going to check if Ume had made it back yet.
Gaara knocked on Ume's door once more. No answer. Gaara walked in, and it was exactly the same, except there was a new note on the table. Gaara nearly dropped it when he read it.
Gaara,
If you wanna see Ume again, come to the hill where she normally goes tomorrow at 3 am. Be there alone, or she's dead.
It wasn't signed with anything. Obviously, it was a stalker of some sort, otherwise, he/she wouldn't know what hill she sits on, or that she even has a favorite hill. Gaara took the note, and walked as calmly as possible back to the mansion.
Gaara didn't tell anyone about Ume being missing. It would probably just put her in danger. Still, he couldn't rest until it was time to leave for the hill.

Ume opened her eyes. She was in a horrible, smelly, dank, dark hole of a cell. It was absolutely filthy, and she was lying on an equally disgusting cot that appeared to have been thrown up on. Ume jumped up and dusted herself off. Blood stained the place her head had been resting.
THROB
Her head suddenly exploded with pain, and Ume collapsed back onto the cot.
"Ughh… where the hell am I?"
A dark figure rose up out of the shadows in the hallway.
"Don't you worry about that, sweet Ume. Your boyfriend is coming to get you soon." It was a man. A creepy man, at that.
"Who?"
"Gaara, dear." The voice was chilling and snake-like, hissing the words.
"Gaara isn't my boyfriend." Ume stated calmly. No point in panicking, she thought.
"Whatever," the man blew her off. He disappeared as quickly as he'd come, leaving Ume alone in the smelly darkness that was the cell. There was a cracked clock in the wall, reading 12. Ume had no way of knowing if it was am or pm. She closed her eyes in the darkness, trying to block out the horrible smells bombarding her from all sides of the cell. Her only hope was that Gaara was going to notice the note on her table.
AN: Thanks for reading. I can't help myself but create some romance. It's just the way I am, I guess.
Naruto: What? I'm not even in this one?
Ana-chan: You don't know that yet!
Gaara: She means even she doesn't know that yet…
Ana-chan: Shut up! -pout-
