Chapter 2: Where are you Matsuri?
Temari walked through the door, "Matsuri, Matsuri!"
Sakura, Hinata, Ino, TenTen, and Tamari had been searching for Matsuri for to weeks straight. Tsunade came to them before saying that Matsuri never came to report in for the mission. Temari knew Matsuri like the back of her hand. She knew Matsuri loved missions more than her own life. One time Matsuri hadn't been on a mission for six weeks straight she was so depress and angry that she couldn't go on a mission, she went to the Kazekage office to beg Gaara to give her a mission, but there weren't any available at the time. Until, now, she wouldn't have missed it for the world. She had to have been stopped by someone. 'But who?' Temari thought.
Meanwhile…
Matsuri's eyes opened, 'where am I?' she thought. She heard footsteps coming toward her. "Who's there?" she shouted, but she felt a sharp pain in her chest "Ahh" she exclaimed. She looked down at her outfit. To her amazement she was no longer wearing her ninja clothes. They had been replaced by a long flowing blue kimono with red butterfly designs and pink lotus flowers. She tried to stand up, but she felt more pain in her torso. She tried again and her knees gave out and she collapsed. "Damn it", she screamed. Then she heard the footsteps again. She felt her hair and realized someone had removed her ponytail. Her hair was out and when she removed her hand, she found glitter. 'Aw man, I need a mirror', she thought looking around the room. She spotted one right above the dresser. She crawled over to it on her elbows and lifted herself onto the chair in front of her. She gasped 'Oh my god. Who did this? I look… I look … beautiful', she thought staring at herself. Then she heard the doorknob turn. It open slightly and a hand reached to turn off the light. "No …, wait … stop… please…" Matsuri said getting from the seat, but collapsing as the light turned off.
She heard the creaking of the door opening and the footstep got even closer. They seemed to stop right in front of her. She felt a hand lift her up gently and laid her on the bed.
"I can see that you have awaken" the voice said. "Do you like your new image?"
"Uh … who are you?" Matsuri managed to ask.
"You'll find out soon enough", the voice said, Matsuri felt a hand rubbing her thigh.
Meanwhile inside Temari and Matsuri's house …
"Where could she be? TenTen said as she collapsed on Temari's bed in exhaustion.
"I wish I knew" Hinata said as she gently stroked her dog Akamaru's huge head.
"Wait, I have an idea!" Hinata yelled she got up and dragged Akamaru with her. The girl followed out of the room into Matsuri's. She went into Matsuri's closet and pulled out some clothes and gave it to Akamaru to sniff.
"Arf, Arf, Arf", Akamaru barked. Akamaru says he smells Lee scent on these clothes", Hinata translated.
"Lee, what would he want with Matsuri?" Ino asked
"I don't know, but we'd better find him before anything happens to Matsuri" Temari said opening the door, "Let's go!"
"Wait", Sakura said TenTen Hinata Ino and Temari crashed into each other and fell in a heap on the floor, "hasn't Lee, Sasuke, Naruto, Chouji, Shikamaru and Neji been missing for three years?"
"Wait that's true…That means …" Ino said as her eyes widen.
"Oh …", TenTen said
"My …", Hinata said
"God …", Temari said
"I can't fight against people who I care about" Hinata yelled.
"Their S-class missing-nins Hinata we have no choice" Sakura said trying to explain to Hinata.
"But one of them is my cousin, my blood. I can't do that!" Hinata yelled at Sakura pulling out of the hug, Sakura gave her.
"I know if … Lee and Neji were like brothers to me, and I miss them too, but we can't let them just take Matsuri like that, they abandoned us and took all our trust and our hearts with them so, right now it doesn't matter weather we love them or not we have to get back Matsuri" TenTen said sadly
"O.K. enough with the water works and the sympathizing. Hinata pull yourself together, how much you wanna bet they won't hesitate to kill you if they saw you today. Their S-class missing-nin for crying out loud! I want to save Matsuri but if you guys are to immature to deal with this problem then stay behind, I'm going" Temari yelled and stormed off.
All the girls looked at each other "hey, wait for us!!". The girls ran to catch up with Temari
The girls headed straight for the Hokage office only to find Tsunade sleeping on a pile of papers and sake bottles scattered everywhere
"Hokage-sama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sakura yelled
"Who, what, what, who?" Tsunade lifted her head of her desk her eyes were half lidded and she had drool coming down one side of her face and an ink smudged on the other
"Tsunade we request permission to go and find Matsuri, we think we know who took her" Ino said. Tsunade went through her draw lazily and pulled out a scroll and threw it at TenTen
"There you go now get out, I want to sleep" Tsunade said as she folded her arms and went back to sleep and left the girls to go their own way
