Chapter 4
Sarah had had enough of sitting and waiting. She forced her seatbelt to release and she got out of the Coyote as quick as her feet would carry her. Knowing that the others were following she made it into the clinic and saw Henderson sitting on a bench talking to Flint. At first she was startled beyond words. But as Snake Eyes walked in she regained her confidence. She watched as Snake Eyes walked towards them.
"Now, I need to go yell at Boy Scout in there…" Henderson started to stand up when Snake Eyes grabbed his shoulder. "What the—"
Snake Eyes held onto his former student and glared at him. He wanted to intimidate the man so that he wouldn't hurt Sarah as she came forward. I worry too much about her now. She's always on my mind and I just can't stop.
Knowing it was her turn to do something against her sister's ex-boyfriend/betrayer/attempted murderer Sarah marched forward and slapped the man across the cheek. "That's for my sister!" She all but screamed at him before pulling her hand back to hit him again.
"Wait just one minute." Henderson said while cringing under his former teacher's grip. "One I'm defenseless, two I haven't done anything wrong!"
Sarah shook with fury that could rival anyone else in the room. It was the first time she had expressed strong emotions towards anyone like that. Only Snake Eyes had seen her like this, and it was something he was going to let happen.
Might frighten the man into talking. He thought while forcing himself to not smile. At least she knows when to use her anger against people. However, knowing her luck she just broke something in her hand…hopefully just a nail. I can deal with that.
Lady Jaye, having heard the shrieking of Jane's sister, walked out and grabbed Sarah away from Henderson. "He was the one who brought her here."
Snake Eyes tilted his head and closely examined his former student. Having noticed the defeated and broken look behind the fearful eyes of Henderson, he let him go. 'You got Jane out of there?'
"Yeah, now can I ask one thing?" Everyone in the hallway remained silent waiting for his question. "Did you hurt yourself while slapping me again?" He looked directly at Sarah.
Sarah nodded her head, and rubbed her hand a little. She had been so furious that she ignored her pain.
Henderson saw a little girl sticking head out from behind a Japanese man and Jana. "Hey there Sakura." He said while kneeling down. But as soon as he did so everyone around him stood in the way of the girl.
Sakura didn't understand what was going on. She managed to make her way through the group of adults and towards the man kneeling in front of her. "How do you know me?"
"I was there when you were born…as was all of my team." He offered noticing Snake Eyes putting a hand on her shoulder to pull her away. "I'm also your godfather."
Sarah looked down to avoid the looks she was getting from the team. She knew that it was all mixed and impossible for her to tell what was going to happen next.
"That crazed psychopath is her godfather?" They all heard Storm Shadow exclaim.
"Yeah, and you traitorous little white clad ninja, you're technically the girl's uncle so our family is a little weird."
"Why you—
"Calm yourself Tomisaburo Arashikage." Jana spoke before touching his shoulder.
"I will do no such thing."
Sarah didn't know if she should laugh or scold them for fighting. It was just like Jana to start an argument with her boyfriend while they were staring at a criminal/the person who hurt Jane.
"He described you to a T, Tomisaburo…I suggest, as your teacher, you stop before you do something regrettable."
"Wait, your name's Tomisaburo?" One of the others said while looking at him.
"You really had to didn't you?" Storm Shadow said towards Jana.
"Anyways!" Henderson stated while forcing everyone to look at him. "Sakura, I want you to do something brave for me."
At those words Snake Eyes started to pull Sakura a little closer to himself.
"Yes sir?"
"Go tell your aunt you love her."
Sakura nodded her head fiercely and looked up at Snake Eyes. "Can I go see Jane now?"
Henderson chuckled before moving back to his bench. "When you all get done with Boy Scout, send him out here…I gotta few questions for the old chap."
Sarah was the first to walk in and she saw her sister staring at a man with a long beard and long hair. It was black with a lot of grey to it. "Jane?"
"Oh, hello Sarah." Jane started to sit upright and then put a hand on her head. "I've got to stop doing that."
"Yes, little sister, otherwise I might just have to have the nurse sedate you!" the man exclaimed.
Sarah's eyes widened at the man's voice. "Rodger?" Her voice was filled with disbelief and pure shock.
Rodger turned around and looked through his long hair at her. His grey-blue eyes squinted then brightened with joy. "Hey there Sarah, my other little sister, nice to see you too!"
Sarah's eyes widened at the man's voice. "Rodger?" Her voice was filled with disbelief and pure shock.
Rodger turned around and looked through his long hair at her. His grey-blue eyes squinted then brightened with joy. "Hey there Sarah, my other little sister, nice to see you too!"
"You do realize, Rodger that Sarah's going to want a better-more logical-explanation that I did."
Sarah stood there spluttering. His other little sister? What is this crazy man talking about? And how is he still alive?
"Maybe some other time…I'm going back to my bed and lying down. I'm still worn out from dragging your sorry buttocks here." Rodger laughed before getting to his feet and looking at the little girl who ran in beside Sarah. She looked up at Rodger and smiled slightly. "Hi there little Sakura."
"Are you my other uncle too?"
More spluttering for poor Sarah. She didn't know that Rodger knew Sakura let alone could recognize her after several years. Jana's one thing, she at least checked in and got pictures of her.
"Yeah, I guess I am." Rodger laughed a little more, rubbed the girls head and then went back to the room that he had come from.
After the man had left, Sakura leaped onto the bed beside her aunt and snuggled under the blanket with her. "Ja-Ja, I didn't like the fake you."
"I didn't either…I wasn't the one who sent her."
"Who did Ja-Ja?"
"The bad guys." Jane said while waving a finger in front of her ninja niece. "Who was it that finally broke the girl?"
"Jana."
Jane's eyes scanned out the open door to see all of the Joe's standing there. Duke, Ripcord, Tunnel Rat, Scarlett, Roadblock and Snake Eyes, all had content but slightly worried looks on their faces. She even saw Flint, Lady Jaye and Doctor Satou looking over their shoulders.
"Where is she now? I want to thank her for showing everyone the truth."
The group looked around at each other and then shrugged.
"Maybe she went out for air, it is crowded in here." Tunnel Rat offered.
Jane nodded her head.
"Excuse me; I want to take a look at the medical reports…the General asked me to." Satou said as she pushed her way through the crowded doorframe and over to the foot of the bed. "Jane, I'm sorry, I should have known it was you." She whispered in Japanese.
"It's fine Aaliyah. I'm alive aren't I?" Jane laughed but found that that too hurt.
Lifting the clipboard up to look at it Aaliyah whistled a little bit. "You have three broken ribs, four fractured fingers, and a concussion. Well, you also have dehydration and starvation working against you too."
"I guess I'm lucky to be alive aren't I?"
Lucky! Sarah's mind screeched. I think it's a little more than luck!
A/N: Anyone else think Sakura is just soooo adorable! I know i do! r&r please...
