Authors Note: Sorry the chapters are rubbish. Oh, oh, oh, did you know, you can never look into both eyes! How cool right, you either look in one, or the other, or in between them. I never knew that... You can tell when I write this over days as I keep adding notes xD. Only four exams left. Bring it on... though they are the hard ones :'(. Ahh, I am so blonde sometimes...

Chairs thrown and tables toppled,
Hands armed with broken bottles,
Standing no chance to win but,
We're not running, we're not running.

Behind Closed Doors, Rise Against.

Sakura looked around. She had no idea where she was, she really must have been deep in thought when she had been walking.

It was around mid afternoon, she estimated when looking at the sun. The day was bright, and the wind was soothing. The leaves were loosing their green colour, and turning unique shades of red and orange. In the wind they were shaking, the occasional leaf flying gently to the floor.

Sakura strained her ears. She could hear the chirps of the birds, but she could also hear something beyond that. She walked to the direction of the sound, trying to make it out.

Deciding to look, as well as listen, Sakura noticed something in the distance. A front door some way down the street was wide open, flapping in the wind, and four people were stood in the space. There was a van parked in front of the house, the back doors wide open. Walking slightly faster, Sakura moved off of the pavement, walking closer to the houses in order to try to remain hidden.

When she was two houses away, she began to study the picture. She recognised the four people instantly, and held back a slight gasp. The red head had a firm grip on the brunette, while the hooded teen had a firm grip on the pale female. Gaara had a firm grip on the new girl, Tenten, while his brother, Kankuro, had a firm grip on the other new girl Hinata.

From where Sakura was stood, she couldn't make out their hushed whispers, but she see the frustration on the brunette's face. She was kicking out, so that Gaara couldn't get her down the stairs. The hooded male was clearly annoyed, while his captive, Hinata, had pure horror on her face.

"HELP!" Tenten screamed, while the male holding her hissed. She was a pain, and he was struggling to keep a grip on her.

Sakura slipped away from the scene, making her way down to the other end of the street.

Pulling her mobile phone out, she dialled the number she knew by heart.

"I think you may want to make your way to the new girl's house," She told the person at the other end.

*.*

"Shut up! Before someone comes to check if you are OK!" Hissed the red head. Tenten knew there was nothing her captor could do about her yelling, for her had to keep a firm on her arms. "Get her in the van, then help me with this one would you!"

Gaara dragged himself and Tenten out of the way, letting Kankuro and Hinata through. Tenten kicked as they passed, but Gaara had pulled her right back out of the way, meaning Kankuro could get past kick free.

Tenten watched as he threw her friend into the van, frowning as she heard the thump as she hit the van floor. The doors of the van slammed, and he turned to her, a grin on his face.

She instantly dug her heels into the ground and scowled.

*.*

"Can you fight or something, to hold them off till we get there?" Asked the voice on the other end of the phone. You could hear them rushing about, along with others. "Just distract them or something?"

"No, I'm sorry. I won't ever fight," Sakura stated. "You should know that by now."

"Then why do you warn us if you don't want to help us?" He asked.

"Because I will tip you off, but never get involved," Sakura said.

"Fine, whatever, we will be there in a minute," He replied. "If your not going to getting involved, I would recommending going elsewhere."

*.*

He walked, slowly, tauntingly up the stairs.

When he was within reach, she spat at his feet.

"Dirty cow!" He sneered, moving his foot swiftly out of the way. He grabbed her by her hair, and pulled her towards him. Her arms strained in the grip they were held in, as he pulled. She found that this position was making her lose her footing, so she made the most of it. She lifted her foot, adding some sort of force to the blow, and kicked out. He momentarily loosened his grip, and she struggled to bring her arms free, but in the position she was in, she didn't manage it.

Cursing, while they smirked, she tried to resist letting them move her. She tried to keep her feet dug firmly down, but she felt them move her anyway. It bugged her a great deal she was being dragged away so easily, when she was holding on so tightly. She tried to kick out, but it made no difference, only making her feel more unsteady, meaning they could shift her more easily. She didn't give up, but she knew that at the moment, she could do nothing. The only thing she could do was wait for the opportune moment to try and run; and she knew that was either when they tried to get her in the van, or when they were driving.

Relaxing her legs slightly, to save her energy, she let them drag her to the van. As she neared the van she prepared herself for the struggle she was just about to put up. She knew she probably wouldn't get away, but maybe if she made enough noise... or even if she wasted time, though she knew it probably wouldn't happen, maybe they would come.

Kankuro dropped her hair to open the van doors, and that was when Tenten fought back.

"Hinata run!" Tenten yelled, as she threw her leg forward. Tenten knew they hadn't restrained her friend when they threw her in the van, so provided she wasn't injured maybe she could get away. Or get help.

Much to Tenten's obvious delight, Hinata darted out of the van. Kankuro swore under his breath and darted after her. Tenten threw her leg to the side this time, after not achieving much the time before. This time she caught the open van door, and she managed to shut it. Now was time to throw her legs forward. Doing so, she pushed her feet onto the metal of the van, and pushed herself up from her feet, sending her to flip backwards. The force from it meant Gaara dropped his arms from hers, so she did the flip successfully, landing behind the red head.

Unsure what to do, she spun, and aimed a punch for the back of his head. He spun quickly, and caught her fist as he turned. He squeezed her knuckle, and pulled her towards him. Thinking fast as she flew towards him, she raised her knee, bringing it into his stomach. He grinned as he knee hit the hard muscle on his front. She lowered her knee, and brought it back up with added speed, but met the same reaction.

Frowning, she lowered her knee, and kicked his elbow, meaning he released her hand. Taking the opportunity, and knowing hand to hand combat wasn't working; it never was her forte, she ran to the house. Closing the door behind her as she ran, she darted up the stairs. Scurrying into her bedroom, she grabbed two of the kunai she kept there, and ran from the room.

He was at the bottom of the stairs, and making his way slowly towards her. Freezing, she threw a kunai at him, but he simply caught it, blood dripping from the hold.

Holding the other on in front of her face, she looked unsure of herself. Thinking the options other, while he climbed the next step; taunting her with each step.

Giving up on using her brain, she went with her gut, and ran at him, jumping at the last second, taking him by surprise. She jumped on his knee, which was on the step above, and then his shoulder, jumping over him.

Landing on the bottom of the steps, she ran out of the front door, holding the kunai firmly. She didn't stop running, but instead run right down the road, turning left at the end, having no idea where she was going. She kept her eyes firmly on the look out for her dark haired friend.

Rounding a corner, she saw the hooded teen that had run after Hinata heading her way. She froze, and before she knew it, he had taken her by the waist in a tackle that sent both of them too the floor. The kunai flew into the bushes, while she squirmed beneath his grip, and tried to free herself, but he grabbed her wrists and held them to the floor.

"Where is your friend?" He huffed, as he lay above her, adding pressure to her wrists.

"You tell me," Tenten turned her face away. He began to move her wrists against the floor, causing friction to occur, cutting her skin. She ignored it, and kicked out, trying to get him off of her.

Out of no where, Hinata darted across the road, and pushed him of off her. Tenten jumped up, and grabbed Hinata's hand, kicking the teen as she darted past. Running the way she had just came, she caught the red head walking towards them. Turning around, she saw the other teen walking towards her.

"Shit," Tenten murmured, while Hinata held her hand noticeably harder.

*

Sakura had no idea what to do. Everything was moving too fast for her to do anything. She knew she wanted not to get involved, and she still had no intentions of doing so; but so far there had been no chances for her to run either. So she had to sit... and wait... and watch.

And she was starting to fret, for the girls were in a pickle, and there had been no signs of them...

*

"COME ON! MOVE IT!" The driver yelled, fuming at the traffic. Usually they would just drive around it, but this time all lanes were grid locked, with no chance of darting between them.

"That's it, we are walking," The male in the front passenger seat stated, getting out of the car.

The others nodded, and left the car; making sure to take the car keys, and lock it.

*

"Get in for God's sake!" fumed the impatient hooded teen. They had got them into the van, and managed to bind their hands, but this time, Tenten had managed to unlock the door while they were driving.

By now the males were running short on temper, and were resisting the strong urge just to kill the two females. They had been an annoyance, and a job that should have taken little more then an hour, including getting there and back, had now taken a full day; one that was tiresome and repeated. Events kept on being repeated, and the boys had never had patience, so this was more of a test of will power, and pride; pride to complete this job. And their pride was larger then any urge.

*

"We will be taking this," The calm teenager said. He threw open the door of the car, and pulled the driver out, getting in himself. He had just seen the van, and he hoped Tenten could manage a distraction; just till they got there.

*

Tenten fumed at the back of the van. She had stalled many a time, but so far there had been no sign of Sasuke, or the others, and she was beginning to lose any faith in them.

She had fun out of plans, and they were now wise to her tricks, working out ways to prevent them; she was now attached to the back of their seats, away from all the doors.

If only she had thought of chucking a kunai in here earlier, maybe she wouldn't be in this situation.

Suddenly, the car jolted to the side, a dent appearing in the back of the van. Darkness had begun to fall, and the only reason Tenten could make it out was due to the shadows the dent had formed on the side of the white van.

"Shit!" The driver cursed. Tenten guessed it was the hooded male, as the one called Gaara appeared much more calm.

"How did they find us?" He calmly asked, a threat hidden in the depths of his voice. Tenten was sure that that one was Gaara.

"I don't know! What the hell are we going to do?" He exclaimed.

"Put your foot on it," Gaara stated like it was obvious.

"I can do that, but we are in a van, their car will be faster, I mean they are alongside us now!" The car jolted to the side again, and again, banging noises following the hits. Tenten braced herself for another one, but this time, the car toppled, sending Hinata spiralling around the back of the car. Tenten's arms screamed in pain of protest as her body also nearly flipped from the force.

Car doors in the front of the van began to open, before slamming shut again. Hinata and Tenten were alone in the van.

"Hinata!" Tenten yelled, trying to free her hands. Her friend did not respond. Trying to free herself, Tenten began to kick out, but it made no difference, the bonds were tighter then she had expected. Slumming forward, Tenten tried to think, but nothing came. She kept moving her wrists, though she knew it wouldn't help.

"Tenten! Hinata!" Temari's voice called through the cracked glass at the front of the van.

"In the back!" Tenten called, her head snapping up. Glass began to shatter, before a head of dirty blonde hair appeared between the chairs.

"Hold still, I am going to cut these ropes," Temari said. Tenten nodded, and kept still. The minute Tenten felt the bonds break, she crawled to her friend, and pulled her along the van, passing her to Temari. Temari picked the body up, and pulled herself out of the van with Hinata. Tenten slide herself between the chairs and the roof of the van, before getting out of the van herself.

Now, the moon was in the sky, and the only light came from that.

She looked around, Temari had ran to the side with Tenten, while Sasuke and Naruto seemed engaged in a fight with the two thugs. Tenten frowned and called to Temari.

"Where are Kiba and Shikamaru?"

"At the base, in case they are planning an attack while we are out," Temari replied, confident Gaara and the other one couldn't hear her.

Tenten stood where she was, unsure of what to do. Four head lights appeared from around the corner, and parked up quickly, blocking the road.

"They retreated!" The voice called, it sounded like Shikamaru. Two figures got out of one car, while from the other emerged three. Tenten ran towards them, and realised Shikamaru and Kiba were there; with Ino, Tayuya and Kabuto.

Tenten ran to the boys side, and stood firm before the others.

They aimed the first punch.

*

He grabbed her arm, and pulled her away from the fight and down the side road. He didn't stop running till they were a good distance away, and they were sure no one was following. She was panting, and her hair was a mess of knots and blood. She seemed OK, and for that he was relieved. Though she was covered in cuts, and marks that would become bruises, she had no deep cuts; and there was little blood on her that was her own.

"Are you OK?" He asked her. His voice seemed gruffer then usual, and you could tell he was breathing heavily. She nodded once, and smiled weakly. He smiled. They were both in similar states, and as they stood there panting they could feel the relief flood through them. They had both made it out alive; against the odds. They just hoped everyone else had, though at the moment, they were at the back of their minds. They had themselves to worry about first.

He had long since let go of her arm, and his eyes slowly moved down to her hand. He reached out and held it in his, keeping his eyes focused on their linked hands.

She felt his eyes locked on her hand, and lowered hers also. She smiled at sight. Though she had pictured her hand in his many times, and when they were younger they had held hands like this many a time, this time it felt different; nicer.

She looked at his downcast onyx eyes, and he looked into her chocolate ones. They could hear footsteps at the foot of the alleyway and they knew they could not chance it. Tearing their eyes apart, but tightening their grip on each others hands, they ran as quickly, but quietly, as they could.

Eyes darting about, Sasuke searched the dark alley way. He could remember, from the numerous occasions he had sprinted down this little alley, that there was a small doorway. It was easy to miss, as it was set deep into the wall of the alley, hidden in the shadows that lurk here even on the brightest of days.

Finally he saw it. It looked like a small dip in the alley wall, but as he slowed down and walked towards it, he was glad to see it was in fact the door. He released Tenten's hand, who was puzzled as to why they had stopped. He hoped they had a good lead, as he ran his hand along the cool metal of the door. He pushed slightly on the door, which refused to even move a fraction. He had no idea where the door went, but he carried on pushing, adding more force.

He walked back from the door, and braced himself. Running at the door, he pushed his shoulder out. As he collided with the door, he felt the pain in his shoulder, and was pushed back slightly. The door had not moved, but thankfully no noise had been made either.

"Can we both fit in that gap?" Asked Tenten. Sasuke looked at her, then at the doorway. She could make out his nod in the dim light. "Care to try again?... together?"

He nodded again, and they both walked back against the wall.

"Three...two... one." Tenten whispered. They both ran the small distance to the door, their shoulders making impact at the small time. A large noise could be heard, and the door flew open. Sasuke went to walk in, but Tenten held him back. Grabbing his hand, she ran away.

"I like your thinking," He whispered as they ran. He sprinted faster for a moment or two, so he was now in the lead. He lead them through the maze of alleyways, and Tenten instantly felt lost. He took one last sharp turn, and they were out on a main road once again. But he didn't let them slow down; they were too exposed here. If they had lost them, chances are they would have used this road to get home.

Taking them two roads away, Sasuke finally stopped running. Tenten kept her breathing level as they began to walk, ignoring that burning feeling in her overworked thighs.

"Are we still in town?" Tenten asked, as they walked.

"Depends on what town you mean," Sasuke replied.

"I take it we aren't in the same town as my house," Tenten commented.

"This is the larger town, slightly to the east," He told her. She nodded, and they walked along the road together.

"How are we going to get home?" She questioned Tenten.

"We will find the others, then we will worry about that," Sasuke said. They walked closer to each other, as the air became noticeably colder. Their arms were brushing, and when they walked under that rare street light, you could see the faint blush on the young adults faces.

"Have you checked down here?" A voice yelled. It sounded like it was coming from round the corner, causing them to freeze. Once again, Sasuke searched the area, locating a hiding place. Though it wasn't the best place, he could find no other.

Squeezing Tenten's hand, he ran across the road, and pushed her into the bush. She squealed as she fell, but she quickly stopped herself. Sasuke jumped in after.

There was less room then Sasuke had first thought, so he was practically straddling her, but she seemed not to mind, much to his secret delight. Gaining confidence from nowhere, Sasuke cupped her cheek in his hand, startling the girl. He leaned in, and pushed his lips to hers. As suddenly as it had happened, it ended.

He stood up, and offered her a hand.

She took it, and they stood up, climbing out of the bush.

They were stood their, brushing their clothes off awkwardly, when an old couple walked towards them.

"Can you remember when that used to be us?" Laughed the old lady. Tenten raised an eyebrow in confusion. "I miss being young."

"Get in there my son!" The old man cheered, as he walked past with his wife. "Keep it safe."

Tenten's eyes widened in shock, while Sasuke just laughed.

"Do they think we just..." Tenten squealed.

"I believe they do," Sasuke laughed.
