**A/N: Here's chapter two! Hahahaha! I'm just on a roll tonight! Please don't forget to review and rate!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. Just my OC and the plot
ENJOY!
Naruto and the crew arrived in the town around four in the morning. He could hardly keep still and it was annoying the hell out of Sasuke. All he could hear the whole ride was Naruto in the backseat fidgeting, shifting around and sighing. Kid was annoying as hell. How they became friends in the first place remains a mystery.
When Kiba finally pulled the Suburban to a stop, Sasuke had to hold back a sigh of relief. Now Naruto would finally stop fidgeting and shifting around like there were a bunch of red ants biting his ass.
Naruto hopped out first, like the impatient idiot he was, and stretched briefly before striding to the back and pulling out a nine millimeter pistol. After he stuffed it into the inside of his trench coat—the trench coat that everyone else also wore because he's an idiot and wanted them all to match—he filled his pockets with some ammunition. They were probably going a little overboard with this "search and rescue mission", but the way Sasuke saw it, he would rather be safe than be a sorry-dead-motherfucker.
Mina didn't much like the idea of going out the window. Not only was it noisy, and she was bound to get caught, but she failed to see any other way of escaping and she had already made up her mind that she wasn't going back to where ever she was being held. A year of abuse and torture was enough for her. This ended today, even if it killed her.
She considered herself fortunate to tell the truth. Not once has Kye tried to rape her. He has fondled her and touched her down there, but has never forced her to have sex with him. Most girls in her situation would've been raped probably on the first night…or at least by the first week. But not her. Thank goodness. She was sure that it probably crossed his mind. Because really, what guy doesn't think about sex most of the time? Definitely not most of the guys she's dated. Hell about eighty percent of her dates had wanted to have sex on the first date. And what did they get? A door in the face and a big fat delete from her cell phone. That shit wasn't happening. She wasn't just some booty call. She wanted passion, lust...desire. Love.
Shaking her head, she got back on task. No time for those kinds of thoughts. She glanced out her window to make sure Kye wasn't coming back. Upon seeing that the coast was still clear, she leaned to the side, bringing her right leg up to her chest, and sent her leg flying toward the window after taking a deep breath. She hit it with as much force as she could muster, feeling relief when the glass shock and cracked with the force.
The glass shattered loudly after another kick and the shards flew everywhere. Some landed outside while others landed on her leg. A few were actually embedded into her ankle and shin. Oh joy...
A dog started barking from inside the house, probably hearing the commotion she made, so Mina quickly undid the seat belt around her. She climbed out of the window as quick as she could and was just righting herself when the door flew open and Kye ran out on the porch. Their gazes collided and time seemed to stop completely. After a second, her gaze landed on the large black duffel bag clutched in Kye's left hand. Unfortunately she didn't have time to register the things she was seeing hanging out of it were because by now Kye was racing down the sidewalk towards her.
Turning on her heel, she took off in a random direction, hoping like hell that she was going the right way.
"Any sign of her?" Naruto asked as everyone meet up by the Suburban after searching the abandoned buildings north of the town. All their faces were grave. Except for Sasuke. He sported the same emotionless expression as always. He almost seemed bored, but Naruto knew that deep down Sasuke was worried about Mina. He wouldn't be here if he wasn't.
"Not yet." Sakura said, sighing. Hinata nodded from her spot over by Kiba as well. They'd found no trace of Mina either.
Ugh!
None of this was working. They weren't any closer to finding her then they were before!
On a burst of anger, he swung around and punched the tree behind him, crimson blood dripping from his knuckles. No one moved or made a sound as he turned around, hit his back and head against the tree, and slid down to the ground. His eyes stared to water from frustration, but everyone just stared at him in shock. No one moved an inch. They were probably waiting to see what he was going to do next. I'm such an idiot. Why did I let her go by herself?
His shoulders started trembling as the day of Mina's abduction replayed in his head for the infinite time since it happened.
(Flashback)
"Naruto!" Mina exclaimed happily as she browsed through clothes at this small store called Chic. It was right in town not very far from their apartment. He actually didn't mind shopping with Mina. She didn't bombard him with thousands of bags to hold or carry. Actually, she's never made him hold or carry a bag. He has always just done it for her, like the gentlemen he was. Or the one he tries to be anyways.
"Look at this! It's so pretty!" She held a pink and neon yellow jacket in her hands. She chuckled to herself before sending him a devilish smirk.
"It's soooo your color, Naruto. You should try it on." Naruto rolled his eyes, smirking back at her. She loved to mess with him. That's one of the reasons they got a long so well. They had similar personalities. Mina knew that he was with Hinata, but they made sure to never let their friendly teasing cross the line. A little fun was no problem, but when things went too far it tended to get really awkward between them and Naruto hated that.
"The day I wear that is the day you and Sasuke start dating." She chucked the article at him, nailing him right in the face.
"Shut up! He doesn't like me like that, anyways. We're just friends." She had a pretty pink blush on her cheeks as she scowled. He noticed that she didn't deny it. A smirk appeared on his face
He just couldn't pass up the opportunity to mess with her some more as they walked towards the shoes on the back wall.
"You too, huh?"
"Me too what?" She asked, confused.
"I thought you had better taste than that," He feigned disappointment. "You gonna become one of his fan girls too?"
She chucked a shoe at his face this time. He ducked just before impact and it sailed over his head, rebounding off the wall behind him.
"Hey!" He exclaimed, chuckling. Damn, she had good aim. If he hadn't of ducked he'd have a shoe imprint on his cheek.
"I never said I liked Sasuke!" She was all flustered now. Score one for Naruto. "I mean, I like him, just not more than a friend."
"You never said you didn't like him either," He mumbled. She didn't respond and they walked out of the store and onto the dark sidewalk. They took maybe ten steps toward the apartment building when she cursed loudly.
"I think I left my purse in the fitting room when I tried on those jeans."
He stopped walking and turned as if to go back to Chic. "Let's go back and get it then.
"No," She shook her head and stopped him when he went to start walking. "You wait here. It'll only take me a second to run back in and grab it. I'll be right back."
Before he could stop her or insist on accompanying her, she was already jogging for the door and disappearing inside. He sighed as he shook his head at her and leaned up against the nearest building to wait.
About five minutes later a young guy with dark eyes and a hoody strode passed him just as Mina came out of the store with her bag. The guy was sending Naruto all kinds of bad vibes, but he got distracted when Mina smiled, holding up her bag as a signal that she found it. Just as she went to take a step in his direction the guy with the hoody grabbed her from behind, covering her mouth with his gloved hand. Naruto could hear her muffled screams as he pushed off of the building behind him. When hoody-dude started to muscle Mina in the other direction, she reached her hand out to Naruto, her big brown eyes pleading for his aid.
"Hey!" He exclaimed, but the guy didn't even flinch. If anything, he started dragging her faster. He could see tears rolling down her cheeks as he stumbled over an empty trash can, her hand still outstretched for him.
Naruto pushed his legs to go faster as the two neared a corner, but suddenly a big burly dude in another hoody stepped out from the dark alley to his right and decked him right in the face. He and the burly guy exchanged a few punches before the guy punched him in the stomach and ran off.
By the time Naruto stood up, Mina was gone. The only thing left of her was her bag that she dropped at the corner as the men took her away.
(End Flashback)
Naruto knew that he should've gone with her. He knew it, but yet he didn't.
I'm such a fucking idiot!
An emotion filled yell tore from his throat as he punched the ground repeatedly. God, how could have been so fucking STUPID?!
Hands pulling at his face had him looking up to see that Hinata was pulling him to her, her lavender orbs full of sadness...it was almost his undoing.
She pulled him close, cradling his head in her arms as he leaned against her chest and she rubbed calming circles on his back. She hushed him comfortingly and scratched his scalp with her nails just like he liked. He didn't know how long he sat there in Hinata's embrace before someone spoke up.
"We'll find her, Naruto," Kiba vowed. "I promise."
"Don't make a promise you can't even keep!" Naruto growled, his voice harsh, but laced with emotion. Kiba recoiled. He was only trying to help. Naruto knew that. The poor guy was only trying to cheer him up. Not to mention Kiba considered Mina a sister to him, but Naruto was too angry at himself to think rationally.
After a few tense minutes passed, Naruto inhaled deeply. And after holding his breath for a few seconds more he let it out slowly. Now that he was thinking clearly, he looked to Kiba.
"I'm sorry Kiba," He apologized as a tear rolled down his cheek. He didn't even bother wiping it away. "It's just...I feel so useless and I have this nagging fear that we're running out of time," He paused. When he spoke again his voice trembled slightly, "...that she's running out of time."
Silence followed. Seems like no one knew what to say. Is it because they feared the same? That question had Naruto gripping on to Hinata a little tighter. He didn't even want to consider it.
A hand on his cheek had Naruto looking up to meet Hinata's beautiful lavender eyes.
"You aren't useless Naruto," She said. She overcame her stutter a while ago, with Mina's help. He remembered how happy they both were when he walked through the door that day and Hinata said a full sentence without a single stutter. "You're doing all you can, as are we. We will find her." The "dead or alive" part was unspoken, but it hung in the silence between them.
He sat there, looking into Hinata's lovely eyes for a few minutes more until he smiled, nodding. She was right. He laced his fingers with hers and stood up, pulling her along. "Then what are we waiting for?"
She gave him one of her sweet smiles as she nodded. A chorus of agreements followed and Naruto couldn't even begin to suppress the smile on his face. It was time to bring Mina home. He would never stop or give up on her. Not as long as he was still breathing.
Running. That's all Mina has done for the past three hours…or at least that's how long it felt. Her lungs were burning and her legs killed, but she refused to slow or stop. No way in hell was she going back to captivity with that sick bastard! Not after what he emerged from that house with. She shuddered as she thought about it.
At first the contents in the bag didn't register in her head-shock maybe?-, but she found that as she ran she could recognize the things in it.
Ugh, sick!
In that black bag was an array of sex toys. She recalled seeing rope, handcuffs, and the tip of a dildo. Shutter. No way in hell was she going to let some sick asshole do something like that to her. Never in a million years would she consent to that. She was just glad that she escaped when she did. There were probably a hell of a lot more things in that bag and knowing Kye, he'd use every last thing just to try to break her. Or maybe it was for his own sick, twisted pleasure. She didn't even want to know.
Shaking her head abruptly to clear the remaining thoughts, she ascended a steep hill. What was beyond the hill made her heart beat quicken and her breathing to stop briefly. Civilization! Finally!
With a burst of speed, she took off down the hill toward the town below. Now all she had to do was stay hidden until she found someone who was awake and would allow her to borrow their cell phone.
Kiba checked another abandoned warehouse, only to come up with the same result. Nothing. Not-a-fucking-thing. Each passing moment of failure made him even more frustrated and a little discouraged.
At this rate we'll never find her, he thought depressingly, running his hand through his brown locks.
He still couldn't believe that they had been fortunate enough to pinpoint her location in the first place. That Kakashi must have tremendous connections. Even though they still have yet to find her, Kiba had a gut feeling that they were on the right track. She was here. Somewhere.
**A/N: So that was chapter two. I'm considering switching to first person, but I haven't decided yet. What do you all think? Oh yeah! I'm in the process of uploading the next chapter, so it should be up within the hour! :] Happy reading everyone!
Please don't forget to rate and review! As I've said before, I really want to know what you guys think about the story so far! (I know, I know we're only two chapters in, but I want to make sure that it all fits together well. I guess you could say that I'm a little paranoid. Haha.)
As always, thanks for taking the time to read my story!
Until next chapter (which will be in a few ;P)!
Au revoir!
