The three of us walked silently through the halls until I piped up.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"Neji's going to bring you to the Sand Palace." I knitted my eyebrows.
"Sand Palace?" Lee nodded.
"It's where Hinata is. We're tying to get all of the servant girls there before-"
"Lee." Lee shut his mouth and I looked at Neji.
"Before what?"
"I'll explain it once we're out of the castle." I stared him down, then accepted it. As long as someone told me eventually I didn't care.
"So if Neji is taking me, why are you here?" Lee shrugged.
"I don't really have anything to do." I smiled. I liked Lee. Neji stood in front of a large tapestry and looked at me.
"Ready?" I nodded and he pulled back the tapestry, revealing a locked door. He pulled out a key and unlocked it. Once open a freezing cold draft met my arms. I shivered. "It's quite chilly, that's why I brought these." Neji reached into a pack on his back and pulled out a long sleeved shirt and small shoes. I took them.
"Thank you." He shrugged as I pulled them on.
"Have a safe trip. See you in a few days." Lee said and waved, turning and walking down the hallway. I looked at Neji and he nodded towards the door. I hopped up and walked in and began walking down the black hallway.
"I can't see anything." I heard him shut the door.
"Just feel your way. It's not a long walk." I nodded silently and put my hands in front of me, feeling my way until I saw a small shaft of light. This was so familiar. I felt something hard meet my hands and I felt around for a knob or a handle. I found it and turned, opening the door to bright sunlight. I hopped down from the stone perch, landing in the cold snow up to my knees. Neji hopped down behind me and we began walking.
"Okay, so explain it to me." Neji walked slightly in front of me as he spoke.
"The king of the sand palace, Gaara, has been feuding with Tsunade for years. You see, she sends her cronies to different lands to kidnap young, pretty girls such as yourself and your sister." I nodded, waiting for him to continue. "She has sent people to the Sand too many times. As you may well know, when she doesn't get her way she tends to be a little violent."
"A bit." He chuckled and continued.
"Needless to say Gaara is sick of it. So instead of dealing with her, because she's planning on doing it again, he has planned a large attack. It is going to be violent so we are trying to get all of the servant girls out. Gaara's men and women have been issued to fight whoever they see. Along with myself, there is a group of knights that are going to sneak out before the attack."
"Was that so hard to explain?"
"I suppose not, but-" Suddenly there was a flash of white and Neji flew backwards, landing in the snow and holding his stomach.
"It's been a while." A soothing voice said. I looked at the person clad all in white.
"Who are you?" Three more people landed around the figure and took their masks off. I didn't recognize any of them.
"Oh come now," They began, grabbing at their mask and pulling it off. My jaw dropped. "It's been, what, three years? You can't have forgotten your big sister." I ran to her.
"Megami!" She laughed as I tackled her to the ground with a hug.
"I guess you didn't forget me."
Sorry it's so short, I sort of ran out of inspiration. The next one will be better! Soooo read and review!
