Just Not Your Day
-{ Chapter 2 }-
"What the hell just happened?" Asked Ino; slightly dazed by the recent turn of events. Her only response was a collective groan from the car's occupants.
"Great, now we've got to set up a fake funeral with a closed casket, oh my kami I screwed us over so bad, so bad." Whispered Sakura vehemently to herself, disbelief clear in her tone. She couldn't believe how bad that had back fired on them. How the hell was she supposed to know Shisui had known her aunt? Not even she'd known she'd had an aunt!
"Okay so there's a funeral home in Konoha close to your old place in district 10-30, that's believable right? Close to your relatives, small place, inexpensive…" Naruto rambled off, reading the Yelp reviews on the home.
"Naruto my dead but not dead aunt isn't having the funeral she doesn't know about at a place you found off Yelp."
"I think she would've loved the place."
"She's not dead!"
As Sakura and Naruto bantered back and forth on the subject, Kiba's features suddenly pinched into a look of determination.
"Oh no…" Ino muttered out, catching Kiba's look out of the corner of her eye.
To both Ino and Sakura's absolute horror, Kiba began to shift gears as he checked his rear-view mirror for the telltale signs of the cop car behind them. The engine changed sounds and the old rust-box took off.
"Kiba, you fucking idiot, you can't outrace a cop car with this piece of shit!" Exclaimed Sakura in outrage. They were definitely not making it out of this alive; not with Kiba's wreck of a car.
Kiba shot Sakura a shit-eating grin. "Don't worry I'm a great driver!" He yelled out over the rev of the engine.
"But Shisui's won a shit ton of drift races before dumbass! It's like his hobby or some shit, you know Uchiha's! You can't even beat me at Forza Motorsport on the Xbox for the love of Kami!" Ino screeched, and rightfully so as Kiba nearly lost handle of the car while drifting on the dirt road.
Abruptly, sirens began to sound from behind them, red and blue lights flashing into the cars side mirrors.
"Pull over amateurs, you don't really think you can outrace me do you?" Came the hissing intercom on top of Uchiha's vehicle; Shisui's cackling apparent on the other side, as if the thought of them even attempting something so stupid were the funniest thing in the world.
The car swerved; almost hitting a stop sign in the process and Sakura groaned with anger.
"Okay." She ground out, very close to strangling Kiba. The pinkette pulled her hair into a high ponytail and Ino let out a squeal of excitement at the sign of Sakura taking over. Scooting to the edge of her seat, she looked Kiba in the eyes as he glanced into the rear-view mirror, "Kiba, listen to my instructions very closely," She began. The brunet blinked twice before pouting in defeat.
"Fine…" He grumbled out.
"You're going to pull a right here, but I want you to turn on your left blinker anyways okay?" she directed carefully in a steady tone.
The tattooed boy shot her a dubious look. "Who puts their blinkers on during a chase?" He questioned.
"Legit no one, that's the point; confuse them." Explained the pinkette with a smile quirking at her lips and eyebrows raised. Confusion and trickery were a key factor to getting out of any bad situation from her point of view.
Kiba let loose a feral grin as he turned his head back to the front, "I like the way you think, Sak."
Doing as instructed, Kiba flicked his left blinker on and hurriedly pulled a right, the cop car now lagging behind slightly. Up ahead lay an off side road.
"Turn right again!" Sakura commanded. Continuing onto the road a maze of turn offs appeared, a look of indecision flashed across the pinkette's face as she attempted to decipher exactly which gravel road to take.
"Pull onto the one to the farthest left, it should take us to the 10, you can go about max 110. After that I want you to try and lose them for a few seconds between cars." Kiba nodded in affirmation. "Then Ino's gonna hold the wheel and you and I are going to switch places because god knows you can't drive this trash can for shit." She finalized as he got onto the route.
Kiba's faced fell at that, ready to argue, yet dropped it and nodded dejectedly when the rest of the car's occupants glared at him.
Kiba jerked the car suddenly and pulled onto the 10. Effectively losing the Uchiha's for now (but they would no doubt find them).
Or what they'd thought was the 10.
"You took the wrong exit!?" Screeched Ino. What a day of fuckery.
The brunet flinched at Ino's outburst, lips pulling into a guilty and embarrassed smile. "Maybe…?" He squeaked out, clearly at loss for words regarding his own stupidity. "Well, I thought it was the 10…"
"Looks like we're on the 70, heading directly for Suna." Came Sakura as she looked around the area, the forest slowly diminishing for flat land and soon enough sand to take its place. Ahead, a sign clearly stated they were headed towards Suna. Naruto sighed next to her, flopping down into the car seat and groaning.
"Anyone one remember how to get back…?" Ino asked hopefully.
Silence reigned over the car. Of course not, they'd taken quite a few more turns…
Damn.
"When's the next exit?" Questioned the blond exasperatedly.
"Well if I had to take a guess, about two hours away." Replied the pinkette.
It took about three seconds of silence until the car essentially exploded.
"Kiba you fucking shit head!"
"Oh MY FUCKING GOD."
Naruto attempted to lunge forward to strangle the absolute dumbass behind the wheel.
"NARUTO NO-" Came Sakura's exclamation.
"Ten and two, ten and two!" Ino screamed out repeatedly as Sakura struggled to restrain Naruto back down into his seat.
"Look up ahead, it looks like we're passing through a town, maybe I can get some bars there and we can find our way back on google maps." Supplied Sakura in attempt to satiate everyone's anger.
No one spoke until Kiba parked in some general store's parking lot. The team stepped outside of the rust bucket to stretch while Sakura began to make her way towards the motel across the street. Surely they had wifi, every place had wifi nowadays…
Stepping into the threshold, Sakura glanced around. No one stood behind the front desk, nor was anyone milling about the rundown place. The entire motel had an eerie feeling that made the medic-student shiver at its creepiness.
"Hello…?" Her voice rang throughout the hollow place.
No answer.
Checking her phone she realized the building didn't supply her phone with even a semblance of internet.
Hurriedly she stepped out of the motel before some axe murderer came out of nowhere… talk about an X-files looking place. As she looked around the small town, the pinkette came to realize almost no one was outside; an absolute contrast to that of Konoha. Few shudders were drawn open despite the rather stifling heat in Suna, and the scarce businesses that did seem to be open had the shadiest people in the world behind the counters, shifty eyes and the like.
Okay, where the flippity fuck were they?
Sandals flopping against the pavement were the only sound besides the insistent breeze in the Haruno's ears. Looking back at the car; where Ino sat on the hood of the car, kicking her legs back and forth and where the boys were have a Mexican standoff with finger guns, Sakura hollered at them,
"I'm going to get something to eat the gas station and maybe we can get some directions, you guys coming or nah?"
Quickly, the three began to make their way towards Sakura and they entered the dingy looking gas station. The small place didn't offer much, but the beach blonde spotted a rack with a selection of chips at the back, courtesy of Choji's constant 'chip finding' lessons.
While the boys and Ino scouted the place for more than just chips (a.k.a maybe a suspicious looking burrito), Sakura stalked over to the front of the store where she could have sworn she'd seen a man upon their entry. A squeaking sound came from her right, pushing behind the counter she found a door swinging back and forth, obviously just entered by someone. Hesitantly, she padded over to the door which lead to a not-so-safe looking staircase.
"Okay, this is definitely some X-files looking shit…" She muttered.
"AY YO SAK, THEY GOT WASABI AND GINGER CHIPS, HOE." Ino bounced up behind her, waving a bag of chips in front of her face. Looking down, the Yamanaka tilted her head to the side. "Is that were the cash register dude went?" Sakura nodded her head in affirmation.
"Some X-files lookin' shit." She said, ripping open the bag of chips and popping one in her mouth.
"Right?"
"If only Gillian Anderson was down there." Sighed Ino dejectedly, "Totally my woman crush Wednesday…" She trailed off before grinning. "Care to investigate, Mulder?" Were her last words before darting down the stairs. Sakura groaned in exasperation for umpteenth time that day. She was so done with Ino's shit.
She was totally Scully.
"Boys we're heading down some dark and ominous stairs!-"
"What's an 'ominous'?"
"Oh my go- just get your asses down here before Ino ends up disrupting some fucking satanic cult ritual!"
The boys now behind her, Sakura began to make her way down the unsound wood steps.
"Ino!" She whispered out harshly.
"What are you doing down here?" A deep voice came from behind her. Twisting around faster than you can say Shark Week, the Haruno straight up decked the huge blue haired man who had spoken.
"Ah! Jesus fucking Christ, woman! What're you like 60 pounds? How ya throw a punch like that? Fucking hell." Said the giant (she came up to his elbow, for the love of god…) man, tattoos of two large sharks inked all across both his arms; both of his cheekbones bore tattoos with a resemblance to gills.
Overall, the guy was pretty scary.
Bent over, clutching his nose which gushed with blood and a pout; kinda resembling a really big puppy instead of the supposed shark type theme he seemed to be going for.
Well…
This didn't seem to be going as planned.
