Chap 4: the rescue mission
Ichigo woke up on a cave she had a couple of wounds and her body ached a little "where am I?"
"you are in the Akatsuki territory and a special guest" she turned around to find a male wolf he was black as coal just like her and had red eyes like Sasuke he also had a ponytail on his tail "who are you?" he sat in front of her "I'm Itachi an Akatsuki member you came yesterday on your own free will" Ichigo remembered the events of the day before.
"we are going to treat your wounds and my job is to keep watch of you" she nodded and lay back down licking her wounds she sighed "I hope I did the right thing… oh well at least he isn't in any danger" she looked back at the Akatsuki member she just noticed that he had on a black collar with red clouds.
"What am I supposed to do now?"
Back with the pack
They were all thinking of ways to rescue Ichigo Naruto summoned Shikamaru and Kakashi, since Kakashi fought them he knew some of the moves they did and asked Shikamaru to come up with a strategy based on what Kakashi said.
Shikamaru finally came up with a plan "leader I got it first we need to find where they hide for that the ones that should go are Kiba, Hinata, Neji and Sasuke" Naruto nodded "when they come back it will have to be a search party the ones that should go are you Lee, Sakura, Kakashi and me"
Kakashi nodded "and the ones that are going to be back up are Neji, Sasuke, Hinata and Ino" all three stood and went to let the others know of their plans.
"mina we already have a plan I need Kiba, Hinata, Neji and Sasuke I want you to look for their base second the search party will be me Lee, Sakura, Kakashi and Shikamaru" they all nodded "and finally the back up for the search party will be Neji, Sasuke, Hinata and Ino lets go the rest of the pack will stay and protect the territory" with that the three groups left.
Back at the Akatsuki base
Ichigo still lay on the rocky ground Itachi had gotten her some food but she refused to eat he stood up and went to meet up with the other members he had to tell them that she refuses to eat.
The other members were waiting for him in a circle he took his place next to a blue wolf the meeting started "ok we have our hostage now we have to think of the next step-"
"sorry to interrupt but we have a problem with the hostage" they all listened quietly "she is refusing to eat and her wounds are still open she doesn't have any value if she gets worse she has to eat and get healthy" the leader though for a moment "I disagree with you Itachi you see if she gets better she can try to escape its better this way and besides knowing the wolves of her pack it will be better if she was beaten and thin"
The rest of the members agreed with their leader they agreed that if she didn't eat she would get beaten up as simply as that.
Ichigo had moved the food they had gotten for her and put it on the exit she sat back down at the corner of her small prison to lick her wounds "kuso if I don't eat ill get weak but I can't let them feel like I'm a dog being so obedient"
With the trackers
They were successfully tracking down their hideout but within the members of the tracking team was a bit of tension Sasuke kept growling "I'm going to kill those bastards for taking my mom I swear if she is injured-"
"you shouldn't worry knowing my sister she is probably making them miserable" Sasuke didn't stop worrying "Ichigo-neesan is alright she is really strong" Kiba agreed "yea the other day I saw her fighting with Kakashi he couldn't land any of his attacks on her she moves really fast"
Hinata caught sight of some of their enemies "mina I think I found their hideout" they stopped and indeed it was guarded with Akatsuki guards Sasuke smirked "lets go"
Once back with the rest of the team Neji came forward "we found their hideout Hinata will guide you there and we will relocate closer to make sure if you need our help just howl" Naruto nodded "Lee, Sakura, Kakashi, shikamaru lets go" they charged to the hideout.
Once there Hinata left and the rest of the group they had to find a way in without the guards catching them.
With Ichigo
She just got the beat of a lifetime she fought back but the odds weren't on her side three of them attacked her she now lay beaten up with cuts all over her body bleeding "mina hurry up" Itachi sat at the entrance looking at the beaten up wolf while they fought her he just sat there nor helping either of them.
She had to stay awake if the others came she needed to guide them to her but the problem was… she moved her head over to were Itachi was "kuso he is going to be a problem" she sighed she had to think of something "mou senses expand" she listened carefully for her friends arrival.
She only heard discussions many many discussions she sighed but still concentrated.
The others
They managed to get in now they just had to look for her, they almost got caught 5 times but somehow they pulled it off. They stopped when they reached a place it had Ichigo's scent all over it as well as blood.
With Ichigo
She had heard them they were here just outside she was going to kill herself after this "h-hey I-Itachi w-would you mind g-getting me some water" he nodded and left "phew! Mina I'm here hurry!"
Naruto's POV
Someone was coming we had to hide "hey over there" we reached a couple of boulders that were big enough to hide us out of the cave came a black wolf we waited until he walked away "come on" Ichigo was near and injured I looked to my right and saw that Kakashi was really anxious about getting her back.
With Ichigo
she could hear them they were coming she dropped her senses to normal and started panting she was way to tired but she had to stay awake that's when she heard him calling her "Ichigo! Where are you?" she let out a small smile "mina I'm… over here" she managed to yell a bit.
She saw someone coming they rushed over to her "Ichigo are you alright?" she nodded and tried to get up but Sakura pushed her down "Ichigo you shouldn't move I'm surprised you are still awake you have so many injuries" Ichigo didn't have the energy to argue "Kakashi come on we have to get out of here and fast" Kakashi graved Ichigo and place her on his back "Kakashi are you alright? How are your injuries?" he chuckled without humor "you are the one beaten up and you ask how am I? You have some problems" she just smiled "mou I'm tired…" she passed out.
"Ïchigo you are so injured and its all my fault I promise to protect you no matter what" they got out of the cave they have to reach the exit and fast before the guard discovered that she was gone. Sakura couldn't treat her here because they could get caught.
"Kuso we have to hurry if we don't then she might…." He shook his head at the though they finally reached the exit Sakura went out first the whole was big enough for one wolf Naruto went next Lee got Ichigo of off Kakashi's back and passed her to Naruto outside, Lee went out next followed by Shikamaru and lastly Kakashi.
They got Ichigo on Kakashi's back and kept on "um this was way to easy" as if to answer his though a snarl came from behind them they turned around and four Akatsuki members were there two of them were the ones that Kakashi and Ichigo fought the other two were a blue wolf with the black one they saw earlier.
"Get her out of here!" Naruto ordered Kakashi left he heard Sakura following him and Naruto howled back up was on its way.
Kakashi and Sakura were almost back in their territory while the others fought against the Akatsuki both knew that Naruto would leave soon after all the team was there maybe took the chance to kill one or two.
"Lets go to my den she stayed there so she'll be comfortable" Sakura nodded they reached his den he placed Ichigo on the ground and Sakura started working she asked him to stay outside.
Kakashi looked up at the sky "I hope you're alright"
you know wat to do!
and is Ichigo going to survive? and will Kakashi discover his feelings for the pink eyed wolf?
