Kendall: Where'd everyone go?

Willoffire123: You're the one who's unconscious dude. You're dreaming. Now do the disclaimer and the announcement.

Kendall: Willoffire123 doesn't own Big Time Rush or Naruto. Willoffire123 recently received an interesting review, and needs your help. Do you think that we should meet anyone else from the Naruto universe? Or should it stick to mainly just Sakura until the end?

Willoffire123: Let me know what you think is going to happen in a review. Other than that, Kendall gets to go back to lala land while I say on with the chapter!

Kendall: zzzzzzzzzzz


Kendall

Kendall woke to the sound of hushed voices. White-hot knives were still twisting their blades around his skull, but the pain in his chest had somewhat subsided into a bearable throb. He could feel a gentle light against his eyelids, but he decided to let his ears wander before either alerting the hushed voices to his presence, or figuring out how badly opening his eyes would jar his aching head.

"Operation was a great success," said one of the voices, probably Sakura.

"And we didn't even have to take him to the hospital," said another voice. This one was definitely Logan.

"Mama Knight's gonna freak out when she gets home," said the voice of Carlos.

"She's already come by. She left to hunt Bitters down for allowing Buddha Bob to use a crane in a highly populated area," said the voice of Katie.

"And you didn't go with her?" asked another voice. Kendall was pretty sure it was James.

"You kidding? I wanna be here when he wakes up just as much as you do," said Katie.

"He's already awake," declared Sakura. "Aren't you, Kendall?"

Kendall groaned in response. He still wasn't ready to open his eyes yet.

"It's okay buddy," said Logan. "You don't have to open your eyes yet if you don't want to."

"Where does it hurt?" asked Sakura.

"Head," Kendall whispered, the hushed voices still echoing around his aching head. Kendall placed a bandaged hand across his throbbing chest, trying to calm the dull pain. The chest he could deal with without anyone noticing, but the head was too much. He felt something push its way into the crook of his arm.

"Missed you, big brother," said Katie, snuggling down next to Kendall.

"But I never went anywhere," Kendall whispered, wrapping his arm around Katie's tiny shoulders.

"You know what I mean," she said softly. "I'm just glad you're okay."

"Seconded," said James.

"Thirded," said Carlos.

"That isn't even a real thing," said Logan.

"It is too!" said Carlos hotly, driving a white spike into Kendall's forehead, making him wince, unable to keep a little whimper from escaping his lips.

That shut Carlos up. Kendall felt something cool against his burning forehead.

"Get some rest, Kendall," Sakura said in a soothing voice. "We'll be right here when you wake again."

"I'd love to," Kendall said through gritted teeth, holding back a scream of pain. "But I really can't."

Sakura thought for a moment before saying "I think I've got just the thing."

Kendall could vaguely hear someone rummaging around somewhere for a moment before a set of strong hands gently pushed him into a sitting position.

Sakura waited for the nod from Kendall that said his world had stopped spinning, and she gently massaged his clenched fist open, placing something into his sweaty palm.

"It's one of my special, homemade pills," Sakura said softly. "This will let you have a painless sleep for at least the next hour."

"Take it bud," Logan said, rubbing Kendall's back. "I saw her operate on you; she knows what she's doing."

"Well," said Kendall hoarsely. "If you've saved my life once today, Sakura, I trust you entirely."

With that, Kendall swallowed the pill, greedily gulping down the cup of water Carlos held to his lips.

As Kendall had hoped, a wave of fatigue rolled over him, making him dizzy. Another set of hands helped him back down onto his bed, tucking in his sheets.

"Night, big brother," said Katie, snuggling down once more next to Kendall.

"Stay with me?" Kendall asked her sleepily.

"Forever and always," she answered. "Now go to sleep."

And go to sleep, he did.


Sakura

"Now that Kendall's safe, what are we gonna do about Gustavo? We took the day off from school, but he expects us to be at a photo-shoot in an hour," said James, shutting the door behind Kendall and Katie.

"I can disguise myself as Kendall," offered Sakura.

"Like that'll ever work," Carlos chuckled nervously. "What about telling Gustavo the truth about what happened?"

"That'll never work either," said James, looking at him like he was crazy.

"But we've got a big-" he stopped, realizing that Sakura was only slightly taller than him, the shortest of the group. "But we've got a scary bodyguard/doctor now!" Carlos protested.

"We're gonna keep trying, but that's a good backup," said Logan.

"I have something that can keep Kendall on his feet long enough to do the photo shoot," said Sakura. "But this is only an emergency plan, as his body really can't handle too much medication at once, and he's already drugged up as it is."

"I don't like the sound of that," said James. "Anything that could possibly hurt Kendall is out."
"Well then don't make him go to the photo shoot!" said Sakura, finally at breaking point. Sakura took three, deep breaths, willing herself to not smash anything in the room.

"How about this," said Logan, putting a calming hand on Sakura's shoulder. "We take Kendall to the photo shoot. Gustavo sees that Kendall looks sickly and injured. He doesn't want a sickly, injured Kendall on the cover of Pop Tiger. He sends Kendall home and bing bang boom, we're good to go!"

"I like it," admitted Sakura. "I'll go with you of course, and I'll be there to take Kendall home if he makes you three stay to record or something."

"Then you should get going," said Katie from the doorway. Moments later, Kendall appeared next to her, his glazed eyes thankfully open.

"Kendall!" said James in surprise, causing Kendall to wince in pain.

"Sorry man," James whispered, putting a hand on Kendall's shoulder. "How are you feeling?"

"Been better," Kendall mumbled. "When do we leave?"

"Now," said Sakura, pushing everyone through the door. "Logan drives."


AT ROQUE RECORDS

Logan

"WHY ARE THE DOGS LATE?" came the bellowing voice of Gustavo from the depths of Roque Records the moment Logan opened the door.

'THEY'RE AT THE DOOR!" Sakura bellowed back while Logan covered Kendall's ears. "SO YOU CAN SHUT UP NOW!"

"Nicely done," said James, raising his fist for a fist bump. Sakura gave James a quizzical look, shrugged, and punched his fist.

"OW!" James cried, nursing his bruised knuckles.

"Oh, sorry 'bout that," said Sakura, scratching her head, embarrassed. "I can give you some cream for that once we get inside."

"Can we hurry up then?" asked Carlos, adjusting Kendall, who was leaning heavily on Carlos, so that he wouldn't slide onto the pavement. "Kendall's heavier than he looks."

"It's because he's so much taller than you," said Sakura. "Let James help Kendall instead."

"Come here, buddy," said James, slinging Kendall's arm over his shoulder, and marching inside.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!" Gustavo roared once the gang reached the dance studio, the location of the photo shoot. A camera crew bustled around, setting up lights and other equipment. A green backdrop blocked out the red wall of the studio, the scene of the shoot.

Kendall whimpered and put his hands over his ears. "Gustavo, please stop it," he pleaded, eyes once again shut tight.

"Okay, you!" said Gustavo, pointing at Sakura. "Pinky, you're in charge of the dogs now. What's wrong with the K-dog?"

"Yeah," said Kelly, only much more concerned than Gustavo. "Are you okay Kendall? You don't look so good."

Sakura rubbed her hand in comforting circles on Kendall's back. "Accident at the Palm Woods involving a crane. Your 'K-dog's got three mending ribs and a severe concussion."

Gustavo's mouth dropped into a perfect 'O'.

"So…" said Logan anxiously. "Can Kendall go home and rest?"

"Yeah," said Carlos. "Cuz, uh, you don't want him to look all sick, and stuff in Pop Tiger."

Gustavo started to tremble, his face growing redder and redder.

Kelly put a hand out nervously, reaching for his shoulder. "Gustavo?"

Logan nudged Sakura. "If you don't have a pair of 100% sound proof ear plugs, I suggest getting Kendall out of here now."

Sakura didn't need telling twice. The moment she and Katie had ushered a dazed Kendall out of the room, Gustavo exploded.

"WHO'S THE IDIOT WHO LET KENDALL GET HIT BY A CRANE?" he demanded.

"Nobody, Kendall wasn't looking where he was going," said Logan, wincing at the loud noise.

At that moment, Katie came barreling back into the room.

"What's wrong, Katie?" asked Logan after seeing the distressed look on her face.

"Kendall's been kidnapped!" she burst. "Sakura's chasing down the van right now, but you have to help her!"
"WHAT?" blurted everyone in the room.

"Logan! Plan! NOW!" demanded James.

"Okay, uh," said Logan, glancing around nervously. He'd never faired well under pressure. "Um, the photo shoot crew had to get here using some form of transportation right?"

"Van's parked out front," said a passing cameraman.

"EVERYONE INTO THE VAN!" said Gustavo, charging out the door.

"And follow Sakura!" added Logan.

The camera crew, Gustavo, Kelly and Katie piled into the van, filling it up to the brim with people.

"We'll follow behind you on foot," Logan promised Kelly. "Now go! Call me if you find Kendall or Sakura!"

"Are you sure…" Kelly started to ask, then felt the killing intent rolling off Logan, Carlos and James.

"Nobody messes with one of us and gets away with it," Carlos growled, making Kelly gape in surprise.

"GO!" Logan demanded once more, shutting the van door for Kelly.

The remaining BTR boys watched the van speed off down the street.

James spun around to face Logan. "Now what?"

"Scan the area for clues," said Logan, mind racing.

Carlos nudged the other two. "Guys?"

"What?" asked James. "We're kind of busy trying to find Kendall and Sakura, Carlitos."

Carlos pointed across the park. Approximately two-dozen men dressed in black jumpsuits and ski masks spilled out of an alley.

"Look who they're chasing," Carlos said excitedly. Sure enough, the death squad wannabes were chasing a girl with bright pink hair.

"DON'T JUST STAND THERE!" Sakura wailed, running for her life. "HELP ME!"

Before anyone had a chance to blink, the goon squad had her surrounded in the center of the park: a wide clearing.

"Uh…" said all three boys from behind the safety of the park bench.

"We're singers," said James, putting his arms in front of his face for cover. "Not fighters."

Logan peeked out from behind the bench. Sakura looked scared and tired.

Sakura locked eyes with him. "Logan, help!"

Logan didn't know what to do. Of course, he would be no help in a fight. But they couldn't just leave a girl to the mercy of 24 very burly, very scary, likely armed men.

Oh, what to do?

Sakura's look of fear melted, as if she'd been straining to keep it there, into a look of annoyance. She looked pissed as hell.

"I hate this dimension," she grumbled, slapping on a pair of black gloves. "Must I really do everything myself?"

"Hey," grunted goon number one. "What are we standing around for? Get her!"

The goons charged as Sakura balled her right hand into a fist.

"Dude," Logan hissed to James. "WHAT is she doing?"

"Does it look like I know," James snapped, his eyes glued on the scene unfolding in front of them.

"JAAAHHHHH!" Sakura cried, and without warning, drove her fist into the ground.

'CCCRRRACK!'

That was the sound of the ground splitting beneath Sakura's fist. Some goons went flying into nearby trees and bushes, others were trapped in mini sinkholes in the starburst shaped crater Sakura created in the park.


James

"Oh would you stop gaping and come with me," Sakura snapped at James, Carlos and Logan, their mouths agape, eyes the size of doorknobs.

"O-okay," stuttered James, crawling out from behind the bench, the other following suit. James hadn't the faintest idea why Sakura suddenly had freaky gorilla strength, but he knew that at that moment, Sakura looked very beautiful, and very scary.

James was glad she was their bodyguard, not their enemy.

"Think boys," said Sakura. "How are we going to find Kendall?"

Everyone thought hard for a moment before James' light bulb went off.

"Maybe one of these cronies knows where Kendall is," he said, pulling the nearest one out of a bush by his feet, and slapping him awake.

Sakura smirked in proud satisfaction. "Right answer."

"Where is Kendall Knight being taken?" James demanded, holding a fist to the goon's face.

"I ain't talkin'" the goon said, and he spat in James' face.

"Oh that is it," James growled. "Carlos, you're up."

Carlos nodded grimly, and grabbed the crony by the pant leg.

"We'll make this quick," he promised, dragging him behind a tree.

3 MINUTES LATER

"They're in Hollywood Lot Eight," said Carlos finally, coming out from behind the tree.

"How do you know that?" asked Sakura, obviously impressed.

"I have my ways," Carlos said mischievously. "Now let's hurry!"


Kendall

Kendall woke yet again to a dim light. He didn't really mind the poor lighting though; his head ached so much.

Then he remembered what happened. The black van, the goons ripping him away from Sakura and Katie, hitting the pavement before being knocked unconscious.

"There's only so much head trauma one guy can take," he grumbled.

He paused to consider something. If he was being kidnapped, why did it feel like he wasn't sitting on the cold hard floor? He was lying down; that much he was certain. Also, he was lying on something soft, a blanket maybe? It was warm too, which soothed his nerves. Maybe these people didn't really want to hurt him.

Then why did they kidnap you in the first place? Kendall's voice of reason told him.

Kendall attempted to sit up, but froze half way up, blinding pain catching him from his head down to his left shoulder. He must've landed on his shoulder; why else would it hurt so much? Maybe he dislocated it. Yeah, that sounded appropriate.

A pair of strong hands pushed him back against the soft surface he'd been lying on. Was it a bed?

"Relax, Kendall," the voice said in a soothing whisper. "I literally just set your dislocated shoulder. You need to rest."
"Who are you?" Kendall croaked. "Where are we going?"

"That, Kendall Knight," said Sakura Haruno with an impish grin. "Is for me to know, and the other boys to find out."


Sakura: Kendall, what did you do with Willoffire123?

Kendall: Nothing! She's still at camp, remember?

Willoffire123: No I'm not.

Sakura + Kendall: WHAT?

Kendall: But-But-But-But

Sakura: What happened to your six-week camp hiatus? It's only been three weeks!

Willoffire123: I fell off a horse-

Kendall: So? Get back on it!

Willoffire123:-and dislocated my elbow.

Sakura: ouch

Willoffire123: as a result, I was forced to return home four weeks early. The good news is you guys get a chapter out of it. The bad news is I've been robbed of my summer and the only place where I have real friends who won't drop me like a pin at a moment's notice.

Kendall: Aw, we still love you Will-

Willoffire123: Get away! Your love doesn't count. Just leave me with my wounded pride.

Sakura: On a happier note, until next time folks! Lets all hope our ill-fortuned author is in a better mood by the time chapter 4 comes out!
