Chapter two, thanks for those who reviewed my story or added it to story alert or favourites or whatever!
I will be using Yatzie's idea, Sasuke will not be the rapist after all (it is kind of OOC), instead there will be just some random drunk b***ard ninja's.
Warning: Implied Rape
Ino's POV
"So have you thought of a name yet?" I asked just after Mr and Mrs Branch left, they had to get home before it was too late otherwise they would not be able to go to sleep since they had a very pacific bedtime, no one was sad to see them go and no one so much as looked up when they were opening the door of calling back to all of us. I waited just for them to leave so we wouldn't have to listen to there stupid, old fashion ideas because they then had an excuse to stay.
"Hmm, not yet" Inoichi shrugged, he was holding the baby in his arms by the window while Hitomi lay down in her bed, giving birth took a lot out of her and she would be needing a lot of rest for a few weeks. Again, this was showing how much trouble a baby was. Meanwhile I was sitting on the corner of the bed with one leg under me and the other hanging beside of the bed.
"How about Michi" Hitomi suggested softly, looking over, now she wasn't sweating or screaming as much she looked like her old pretty self, even when he hair was a slight mess.
"Sounds like a girl" I said, rather quietly but not too quiet so they should have heard me.
"Too female" Inoichi said, not noticing my comment just before he was so wrapped up in staring down at the baby and finding the perfect name "What about Shiro?"
"Doesn't that mean white?" Hitomi blinked
"He's a lil white" I grumbled looking at him. He was still wrapped in the blue blanket and he was still fast asleep. He had no hair on his round head at all and his cheeks were bright pink and sticking out, he had very short lashes and fat lips, he was not what I would call utterly adorable but he wasn't repulses either. He could grow up to be a ladies man if he worked on a few things, but his skin was deathly pale, he looked like paper.
"No he isn't" Hitomi said a little defensively before looking at Inoichi again "Maybe... Makoto?"
"Not bad" Inoichi grinned after a moment of thinking
"It's horrible" I said scowling but neither so much as looked at me "Nevermind then"
"Sorry Ino did you say something?" Hitomi looked up
"No" I said and waited until she was looking away before I rolled my eyes and stood "How long will you be staying here?"
"They want to keep me for at least a week minimum" Hitomi explained while she tried to sit up and lean against the wall, she moved slowly like her whole body would shatter at any minute now "Something to do with how the pregnancy was early so they want to be sure both me and Makoto are safe" I rolled my eyes at the name but my back was to them so neither saw me.
"I will stay with you" Inoichi said quickly, getting beside of her and taking her hand in one hand, Makoto on the other arm.
"No you go home, I'll be fine, just be sure to visit" Hitomi giggled and the two kissed with Makoto in between. I felt a hard pang of jealousy as the three of them cuddled up but I brushed it away as hunger since I hadn't eaten all day.
"I will go home now then" I walked over and grabbed my bag from the floor at the bottom of the bed "Get well soon"
"Mmm" Inoichi and Hitomi said, too busy staring at each other stupidly to even notice. I could have probably got away with swearing at them and leaving too but I wasn't going to risk something as stupid as that.
But I did make sure to slam the door on my way out before quickly walking down the corridor, I hoped I made them jump or at least made Makoto whimper a little. The baby hadn't seemed real until now, even when Hitomi was as big as a air balloon. It all seemed like a game of pretend and soon it would end and things would go back to the way they were before but it never did. A few days ago I went off on a short D class mission with the others and next thing I know, when I am back, the baby is here and the game of pretend just became reality.
Making my way down the corridor I pushed passed the large crowd that was building, most were actually pregnant women but quite a few were ninja's just coming home with injuries or missing limbs. There were hardly any others there with myserious illnesses. The nurses were scurrying around and doctors were calling for help but soon I found myself back at the front desk.
"Hows your mum?" asked the nurse from before, kindly.
"Meh" I half shrugged and left through the large doors, I looked left and right, there was no one else out here.
With a deep breath, I made my way down the streets, my home would be boring and uncomfortable to stay in right now, plus I would no doubt get a call to open the shop if I was home. If I stayed out for as long as I could then I could just go home, eat and go straight to bed, if I was lucky then we would have a mission tomorrow, one to take me away for weeks.
"Ino!" came a call, I looked around in time for Sakura to catch up, she was carrying some bags with food inside, she must have been shopping "Hay! Have you seen the baby?"
"Oh yeah, he is a real cutie" I smile at her but Sakura sees it in my face straight away.
"It's a boy?" I nod "You don't like him?" I shake my head and sigh "Why not?"
"I dunno, just cause a baby is too much trouble, and it is a boy so dad is gonna be all goofy" I explained as we began to walk "And you should have seen them, I was invisable to them all through out the whole of the baby naming"
"Are you sure you aren't just a little jealous?" Sakura grinned
"NO!" I snapped angrily "Why would I be? It is not like I got all that much attention from the two of them anyway"
Sakura stared at me for a while with a 'I don't believe you' look, before she took my hand and pulled me along "Come on, I'll buy you some ramen, maybe eating and relaxing will clear your head"
I yelped but then relaxed and let her drag me down the street, we didn't see anyone we knew while we went, which was a very good thing in my mind and I was able to relax properly. While eating the ramen I found myself just nibbeling at the end of everything, not really all that hungry after all. When we were done we stayed where we were, sitting while I slowly stirred the left over of my food.
"You know what sucks the most?" I finally said after an age of silence
"What?" Sakura asked
"That everyone always prefers boys" I explained "I mean the baby is OK yeah, but everyone always wants a boy and they always say only boys make good ninja... Chances are Makoto is going to be trained to be a ninja and everyone'll think he will be better than me even if I have been training long before him"
Sakura smiled "Well... Maybe you could get close to him?"
"Fat chance" I smirked and spun around on my seat "Thanks for the ramen, I will see ya around"
I grabbed my right strap of my bag and walked down with my other hand hanging down beside of my body, swinging lightly while I walked. I knew Sakura was probably either very confused or very frustraited with me, I normally had that effect on people but most of the time I was smart enough to be careful with what I say. OK so maybe I could be a bitch of a stuck of cow every now and then but that is fine as long as I don't really hurt anyone, isn't it? So no harm done really.
The sun was just beginning to go down, it was leaving a steady stream of orange light running across the grass ahead behind many of the trees and the buildings. I stopped for a long moment and stared at the sun set for a while, it was always beautiful. I remember, before Hitomi came along, on my third birthday, Inoichi and I sat and watched the sun set together, it was the first time I actually question what happened to my mother... all other times I did not care because Inoichi always made me feel so happy with him.
"Daddy, why did mummy leave us?" I asked, brushing some of my short blond hair from my face before going back to playing with the small beads of grass in between my fingers.
"She had bigger dreams ahead" Inoichi said he looked down and smiled "She still loves you but we must always persue our dreams,"
"Then why wont she visit? Why wont she write?" I pressed, looking up at the sun set
"It's... complicated" Inoichi sighed before laying back down "But we don't need her, as long as we have each other, right?"
"Yeah" I grinned and stood walking over before I lay down and cuddled up against his side while his large strong arm slowly curled it's way around my body. It was nice to cuddle like this with him, I was his little girl and I always would be. No one would get in the way...
At least that was what I believed back then.
I have my mothers address hidden away in a picture frame, the picture was one of me and mum when I was a few months old, she is holding me high with a big smile on her face, like she was really proud of me but mum was just a good actress. I haven't written to her, I didn't plan to, she would have to contact me first if she wanted to talk, but it was nice to have with me in case I ever changed my mind. It was like a life line, just in case.
Turning around I began to head towards the forest, it was nice to get away to the animals every now and then, plus I could find streams, rivers and ponds. I could jump into trees and lay down to relax. I could do anything I wanted in there without being judged. A perfect place to go and be on my own to think. Mind you I had never been there in the dark before but there was a first time for everything!
It wasn't long before I was pushing through the branchs and slowly balancing as I walked across a thick log over a river like it was a tight rope. At one point I set my back down and began to do hand stands and flips on the log. It was no problem for a ninja but the log was slightly wet so I still slipped slightly but I never fell from the log completely
I spent so much time doing different tricks and poses over the log that I barely noticed when the sun had disapeared completely. The stars were shinning through the branches of the trees and I could just about see the half moon passed many of the leaves. Some of the light was bouncing off the thin surface of the water bellow and shinning on me. The log itself was glistening from the mixture of early rain and light.
My eyes were beginning to grow heavy and I was beginning to yawn slightly but I still didn't want to go home right away. So I pushed on further into the trees, I hadn't been moving for too long when I realized something was not right. Someone was following me. I could feel it. It was a skill of a ninja to know when you are being watched.
I continued walking quickly, I didn't want them to know that I knew. Being a ninja meant keeping a cool face when up against danger. As long as they did not know that I knew, I should be safe to get somewhere I may be able to defend myself. I casually reached down and checked but I had to take all my weapons off me when I went into the hospital, it was a rule to keep anyone from being attacked from the inside and I forgot to pick them up again. Looks like I would just have to rely on my jutsu's and my agility. If I discover that they are too strong for me then I will make a run for it but until I know for sure I will have a go at facing them myself.
However, just as I turned around a tree, meaning to suprise them by jumping out, they surprised me. He was waiting on the other side of the tree, I nearly walked right into him! He was obviously skilled because he hid his presence so I could only just tell he was there, and even then I thought he was ages behind of me.
I jumped back in shock and rose my hands defensively but someone appeared from behind of me and grabbed my wrists pinning them down to my side and holding me in place, I struggled but they were a lot stronger than I was.
"Who are you?" I gasped, "Let me go!"
"Be quite" the one holding me said in a very dark and emotionless way, the one in front of me stepped forward with one hand against the tree until finally he was stepping up towards me.
"Who the hell are you?" I tried to sound brave but the one holding me had an unusually strong grip on my wrists and my voice came out in a very quiet speak.
"Don't worry bout that beautiful" the first slurred, leaning down and breathing right in my face so that I could smell the alcohol "You wanna have some fun?"
"No! Get away from me!" I shouted and began to struggle but I might as well have been trying to move the Earth, the one holding me tightened his grip slightly and the first suddenly ripped off my head band, tying it over my mouth so all of my words were muffled, I tried to scream but the second twisted my wrist sharply and I yelped.
"Let's have some fun" he whispered pulling me back, it was so dark the only thing I could make out was that the second had bright purple like blue eyes and the first had bright shinning blond hair.
My eyes widened as the first's hand reached up and very gently caressed my cheek, his face leaned down and he kissed me softly on the my forehead, it was a very light and swift peck but it was still a disgusting kiss! I could feel my face turning red as he placed a hand on my hip and pulled me up against his body, he leaned down and began to knaw on my neck, hard, forcing his tongue to run up and down my shoulder while his other hand wrapped around me. I struggled but the one behind me just chuckled and watched as his friend molested me.
I tried to shout into the head band but it was no use and I couldn't even fight against the other one, this was wrong! This was so wrong! These guys were drunk perverts trying to molest me! I was not going to let them do this! I didn't want to do this! There had to be something!
But these men had other plans, I don't know what they grabbed but next thing I know I was slammed into a tree, I gasped and coughed at the sudden force into the band. He leaned down and began to kiss my arms and neck again, I couldn't breath for a moment. I pushed against him but he was much bigger and stronger than I was so it was no use, plus the second one was holding me against the tree. I went to kick him but suddenly I felt one of them stand in my toes lightly to hold them in place, but not to really harm me. I felt sick.
Finally the first himself pulled away to breath and I gasped into the band desperatly, I wanted to shout but before I could even try he back handed me hard across the face.
I wanted to scream but the band was still stopping me from actually getting any help, then a the second one disapeared while the first held me in place. He reappeared with a long green vine and wrapped it around the tree and my wrist, holding them in place. He used another two more vines, just as long as the last, one wrapped around my waist and the other my ankles, holding me in place. This left both of these creeps hands free. The first blond smirked down at me and I stared up at him, I was helpless, my jutsu's wouldn't work against them while my hands were tied like this, and I wasn't strong enough to break free. No one was around and I was in such a state of panic that I couldn't even think straight.
"Hold still, or else" he hissed and I made out a pair of red like eyes, but that may have just been my imagination "And if you try anything, I will make you wish you'd bitten off your own tongue before you did"
Terrified, I nodded and shut my eyes tightly as tears began to leak out. Slowly I felt the clothes around my body slip off, I blushed when I realized I was left naked, my body exposed in such a position! The wood hurt against my bare body and I knew I would be covered in scratches and splinters by the end and that was if I was lucky! I could almost hear the two as they smirked.
The next hour of my life was also the worst hour of my life, I spent it wishing it could be over and trying my best not to scream. At some point they swapped over and the second one had his way while the first just kissed along my body.
Then, just as I felt myself beginning to pass out, I felt him finish up and leave, he didn't say anything to me, he didn't redress me, he didn't even look back at me as far as I could see. As they disapeared into the darkness of the woods I heard them chuckeling to one another, the vines had somehow become lose, probably because I was struggeling so much and I was left to drop down into the dirt. I waited for a while, staring into the space they had both disapeared in. I was hoping someone would come along, someone would find me and help me... But no one came.
It was then that I closed my tears filled eyes, some continued to run down my cheeks and onto my old body, took a deep breath through my noes and screamed into the band that was still wrapped around my mouth, I screamed until I couldn't breath anymore and then I ripped of the band and forced myself to sit up, sobbing up against the tree until the cold was finally getting to my bare skin... It hurt to dress but when I was done I let myself rest by laying down and curling up, covering my face and sobbing until I drifted to sleep in the dirt and the leaves of the woods.
To Be Continued
I didn't go into detail, I said I wouldn't but I might have small flash backs further on about maybe what happened while they were raping her.
