Chapter 2

She was at her wits end.

After the warden left her all alone in this 'pleasant' room, no one else has opened the door for thirty five minutes. She was on her seventh cup of tea.

'Maybe they forgot I was here? It's not like it never happened before……Am I that hard to remember?'

Heaving a sigh, she decided to go ask for directions herself. She only had until five to be here and besides, she felt guilty for giving Ino and Sakura her share or the afternoon chores. She walked up to the door and grabbed the handle, or at least tried to if someone from the outside didn't open it first.

"Good afternoon sister……ah……Why are you on the floor sister?"

"Y…Ho…I wa…Wh…" A tall man with silver hair and a mask covering everything except for his left eye stood over her.

"Hmmmmm…I'm afraid I can't understand what you're saying. Ms. Tsunade never mentioned to me the nun was speech disabled…"

"NO!! I…I mean, you pu…pushed me down and I wa…was just flu…flustered."

"Ah she speaks, wonderful. Well then let me introduce myself, I am the captain of all the guards in this lovely building, Hatake Kakashi. I wish we could sit down and have coffee together but, I'm afraid we're running below our schedule. Come along then, I'll take you to the prisoners."

She was about to mention that it was his fault they were late in the first place and his fault that she's on this messy floor but, being a timid person she was, said nothing of it and quietly followed the odd man out the door.

Thuuuuuddddd. Thuuuuuuuudddddd.

Being in the warden's room made her forget just how big and foreboding this place actually was. It made her feel small and weak. All of the hallways looked exactly the same. There were no landmarks or signs to help one navigate in this place. She felt quite helpless as she could only follow the captain zigzag through the hallways…in dead silence. It was slowly getting to her.

The light bulbs did only so much to help with the lighting, placing shadows in every corner of the hall. She swore she saw, out of the corners of her eyes, the shadows moving. As ridiculous as it sounds, she couldn't shake off the feeling that there were more than two people in the hall.

To make matters worse, it seemed the building itself didn't have a boiler because her body was shivering uncontrollably. She could see her breath in the air and her dress was doing nothing to keep the chill off her legs.

Kakashi wasn't helping the circumstances either, in fact he made it worse. As soon as they left the room, not one word escaped his mouth. In addition, with it being so dark inside, she had to follow him by listening to his echoing footsteps. She couldn't take it anymore.

"Ummm…Mr. Kakashi, how…how much further do we have to go?"

"…"

"Mr. Kakashi?"

"…"

'Have I offended him in some way? Why is he ignoring me like this? Is it because I shouted at him back in the warden's room? That must be it. Oh no, why did I burst like that. Of course he would be offended. Maybe I should apologize…but, what if he doesn't want it? Oh……"

"We've arrived sister Hinata."

"!"

"Hmmm…? Why are you looking at me like a deer caught in headlights?"

"Ar..are you still angry at me?"
"Angry? Why would I be angry?"

"Bu..but you weren't speaking to me in the hallways and I ju…just thought that you were offended by my…outburst from earlier."

"Nononononono, it's not that. Why would anyone get mad at you sister, so innocent and pretty as you are?"

"(blush) Th..then why di…did you ignore my q…questions?"

"Why, to see your reaction of course! It was highly amusing seeing you hyperventilate, I couldn't help myself. (Chuckle) As you can see, there's not much amusement in a prison."

"……"

"Picking on a woman of God will give you a one way ticket to hell captain."

"Flirting with a nun Kakashi? That's a new low even for you."

Whipping around, her heart almost stopped in her chest. Someone was right behind her breathing down her neck. Someone that's all covered in black with blond hair…"

"You! You're the two guards that were guarding the entrance but, why?"

"Ah! You remember us sister? That's great! I'm sorry about that, you know the 'Back-off-don't-touch-me' vibe. Part of the job description, there was nothing I could do. Anyway, introductions, even if it is a little late. I'm Naruto and the grump next to me is Sasuke."

"H..hello, I'm Sister Hinata." She was right, the blond was much brighter than the other one. He was such a breath of fresh air in this gloomy building that she had to wonder why a person like him was working as a prison guard.

"You three met before? Then that makes things much easier. Sister Hinata, from now on these two will be your guards. They will be the ones to follow you on your rounds everyday guarding outside the door while you go inside to do whatever you need to do. It's for your own safety I'm afraid, we can't let an angel such as yourself stay inside with the beasts alone now can we?"

"Ahhh… thank you for your concern but, are fifth degree criminals that dangerous. I wa…was informed that they were only charged with felony or theft."

"What are you talking about sister? You're not going to be praying for those low life weenies, right Sasuke?"

"? Then exactly who am I dealing with?"

"Criminals of first degree murder, criminals charged with terrorism, criminals of mass murder, etc. You are going to pray for the would-be-executed."

She felt her heart sink down to her stomach.
