The Princess of the Cloud Village
Ashiko lazily swept her hand across her forehead, brushin away the strands of black hair that dangled in her face. As she moved, her shackles clanked slightly, scraping against the hard concrete floor. Her eye's barely remained open, but they were open enough to see the face of the silver haired ninja that stared at her through her prison cell door, next to two guards. He had glasses, and a tight ponytail.
"Princess?" He said, calling out to her with a sarcastic tone.
Ashiko raised her head up enough to give her a dignified appearence. Starved, lonely, and filthy, she had been in this prison for nearly two weeks. Although she could'nt cry anymore, she could fight... at least, as much as they let her. She slowly got to her feet, holding on to the the wall as she did so to keep steady. She kicked her left foot's shackle chain in front of her ever so slightly, making a loop.
"Dear me, you actaully have the strength to stand. I am impressed, Princess." Kabuto said, as he slowly worked the keys in the lock of the cell door.
"Im not as feeble as you wish me to be, bastard." She spat back at him.
"Ah, I would'nt think to highly of yourself, dear Ashiko. My guards did a number on you when they found you unconcious in the woods. Be lucky I got there when I did...." He finally pushed the door open slowly, the hinges creaking loudly, flakes of rust dusting off. His guards stayed behind as he made his way into the cell. "We have yet to make contact with your village, as far as I know. Lord Orochimaru greatly appreciates your stay with us..." He smirked and strode over to Ashiko, cupping his hand on her cheek"... and so do I."
Ashiko knew Kabuto was stupid for being such an advanced ninja, and she took advantage of this moment with much pleasure. As soon as Kabuto had numbly touched her cheek, her plan went into order. Ashiko kicked her leg back, Kabuto's foot trapped in the loop her chain had made on the floor. He fell back with a blunt look of suprise on his face, and as he was falling, Ashiko rammed her elbow underneath his nose, breaking it and sending him head first into the concrete. Before his guards could react, her last efort gave her the most pleasure. Ashiko stood on the chain wrapped around his ankle, and yanked his ankle up with as much force as she could muster.
Kabuto's scream could be heard for many, many cells down. His guards finally took action against Ashiko, to late to help. Guard one threw her against the wall and choked the last concious breath out of her, until she went limp in his hands. Guard two helped to soothe the screaming Kabuto, lifting him up to take him to the infirmary. "THAT LITTLE BITCH!" He writhed in the guards arms and cursed to the now fullfilled Ashiko. How she has longed for this day.
_________________________________________________
Tobi had followed the tracks for many days before finding the final destination of Ashiko's captures. A five story high concrete structure stood before him, in the Land Hidden in Sound. The guards marched in orderly fashions throughout the grounds of the prison. He had camped here for more than a week, trying to find any sign that his love was being kept here. Tobi had looked for weak points in the fortress's structure, using every piece of wisdom he had, even his bloodline limit...which took him enough effort as it was. Tonight was the same as all others, he hopped along the fortress walls, looking in the windows for any sign of Ashiko. He had completely searched the East, South, and half of the North wall with no results.
"Did you hear about what that one girl did to Kabuto?" Tobi stopped abruplty and leaned below this window to listen to more of the conversation.
"She broke his ankle, and nose while she was partially unconcious. No wonder Orochimaru is making such a big deal out of her." A deeper voiced guard said.
"Not even that! No one's fed her for two weeks, no water, nothing! She's practically dead as is it, but Lord Orochimaru is strict on his order." Said the younger, more energetic guard. Tobi was about to hop to the next window when his heart sank as he heard the words...
"Isn't she a princess?"
He heard a door slamming open, and the two guards argueing with a more senior official. Their footsteps echoed off the walls as they made their exit. Tobi looked onto the horizon an saw the new morning sun approaching. He had the information he needed to continue his search soon, but as he lowered himself onto a small outcropping coming off the wall, he noticed a small path leading out into the surrounding woods. He balanced along the outcropping, dropped onto a guard watch tower, and landed on the outside of the fortress without making a sound. As he made his way to the path he saw that it was well worn by soldier boots, some traces of blood remaining. Tobi dashed along this path for quiet sometime before he heard a small murmuring in the distance. It grew louder, and louder, until he knew this was no small dodged behind a bush and crouched low. The murmuring turned to screams, and the screams turned to gutteral growls. A medium sized building resided in a small clearing that the path ended in. The screams echo'ed off the trees, and the guards standing at the doors of the building squirmed, and cringed as a new scream came every so often. A crash came from behind the door and the guards gave each other looks of worry, all backing away from the small building, spears ready."Where is my body...?!" Said a voice beyond the door.
"WHERE IS SHE!?" The wooden door slintered into hundreds of pieces as the door was kicked down with brutal force. A very pale, very slender man stood in the doorway that Tobi knew all to well. His arms dangled limply by his sides, long black hair wipping around his face which held a menecingly deadly scream.
