Chapter 4
--------------
"Get ready guys."
Sukai sighed. Ugh... She wasn't in the mood to travel at all.
Depressive state, ftw. She thought to herself.
Sukai bent down over the stream and splashed her face. Her hair was dry by now, and it dried in it's naturally boticelli curly style. She tied on her green headband and looked into the water.
She was snapped from her thoughts with a noise.
THUMP
"Chidori!"
-------------------------------------------------------
Without any warning a man appeared behind Miko and Sasuke "You three are coming with me."
Miko felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck and everything went black.
THUMP
Sasuke jumped back and made hand-signs. "Chidori!"
Sukai turned around and saw the familiar face... Kabuto...
She appeared at Sasuke's side and made the handsigns.
Ox, Tiger, Water, Light, Earth, Fire...
"Ember Petal no jutsu!" Sasuke charged at Kabuto with the Chidori and Sukai blew a swarm of fiery red smoking petals and leaves swirling around Kabuto. Sukai jumped up in the air and continued blowing her attack. She flipped and kicked off a tree with chakra focused to her hand she hit Kabuto in his back, smashing him into Sasuke's chidori.
Hell yes! her mind screamed.
POOF
A replacement technique? Sasuke thought.
Sukai fell to her feet on the ground
Kabuto re-appeared behind Sukai. Her eyes widened.
"Shit!" she cursed and turned around ready to kick Kabuto away but he was too quick.
"Chakra scalpel!" Kabuto's palm slashed Sukai's neck.
She gasped and fell to the ground. She grabbed her neck.
REMEMBER WHAT MIKO TAUGHT YOU she gathered green chakra in her palm and tried to heal the wound, but it failed.
Miko smiled at Sukai and laughed. "You can't learn to heal like that." Sukai looked up, almost all her chakra was gone.
"Think of it as an eraser - anything it touches heals, and you need to use your own force to make it."
Sukai remembered when Miko first tried to teach her to heal. A life-force...
She attempted once more, and green chakra flowed to her neck. but after only 5 seconds it disappeared.
And then everything went black...
------------------------
Sasuke was attempting to charge at Kabuto again with the chidori. Kabuto easily blocked and moved his hands in a blur.
"Shikon no jutsu!" (Dead soul skill)
Sasuke yelled and fell to the ground.
Kabuto pushed up his glasses.
How weak...
---------------------------------------
Miko's eyes fluttered open.
Nande?! she quickly sat up but feel down again on the hard concrete floor. She groaned in pain.
Where the hell am I? she then snarled Kabuto...
The door slammed open revealing a sliver of light from the totally dark room.
The familiar grey haired man with his hair tied back entered the room. He was in the usual purple uniform.
"I thought I heard something." she coughed up some blood and grunted, attempting to get up.
"Don't bother. I've made sure you can't use your legs."
"What the fuck? Why am I here?" Miko wheezed.
Kabuto looked hurt. "What you don't want to be here? That's too bad."
"Shut up! I asked you a question." Miko growled. She was barely able to sit up and rest her torso against her knees. Her hands were tied behind her back, and the back of her neck ached something awful.
"You are in no position to be making demands, Morohomiki Miko." he smirked and picked something off a table next to the door, and a light filled the room, he had lit an oil lamp.
Miko looked around the room, even though moving her neck hurt, she had to see what was going on.
Sasuke and Sukai were lying on either side of her,seeming as if they had been plopped down carelessly on the floor when they had been captured. Their limbs were tied like hers, arms bound at wrists with twine and feet bound at the ankles, they were still unconcious.
The room was totally grey, concrete floor and walls with a bolt-lockable door where Kabuto had entered.
" I used Shikon no jutsu on Uchiha," Kabuto began,gesturing to Sasuke, "And Chakra scalpel on her neck." he motioned towards Sukai. Kabuto walked over to Miko and pulled out a kunai. She gasped. But to her relief all he did was kneel down and cut her free of the ropes. She rubbed her wrist-indented from rope marks. She looked up and Kabuto with a 'Nani?' expression on her face.
"You may want to start healing them, or they will..." Kabuto began and turned around.
"They'll WHAT?" Miko asked, afraid she already knew the answer.
Kabuto glanced over his shoulder. "They'll die, of course."
Kabuto left and double bloted the door.
Miko wasted no time, she got right to work healing her team.
