A/N: and we're back! Finally get to see some action! That's exciting! I love writing action!

I'm gonna answer a question:

To: Thousand Drop (

I haven't finished watching all of Naruto Shippuden yet and I haven't seen anything after the fourth shinobi war so I've only seen snippets of how strong Naruto is. Let's just say, that if Naruto and Erin were to have a fight after the war, Naruto would win. Big time. She'll probably be about as strong as one of the upper level Akatsuki. Like Kakuzu or Zetsu. I'll also do my best to make the chapters longer.

I love hearing people's feedback! Keep

up the reviews!

Chapter 7:

I'm woken by a sharp jostle and let out a groan as I raise my head. It's very dark and it takes a moment for my eyes to adjust.

After a few seconds, I recognize that I'm in a caravan and I can hear rumblings of voices outside. I look around the inside then I suddenly notice there's a boy.

"Hey! You're awake!" He whispers, grinning at me with sharp teeth. "I was wondering if you were dead."

"Dead? Where are we?" I ask.

The guy rolls his eyes, "we were both captured by some guys who work for a man named Orochimaru."

"Orochimaru?" I gasp feeling my face pale.

"Yeah, you must know about the guy. So I'm not gonna have to explain." He paused, "anyway, I think what's gonna happen is that we're gonna go to Suna and then back to Oto."

"How do you know?" I asked quietly, he seems to know exactly what's going on here.

"I just so happen to be very good at listening to things. Anyway, I'm Hōzuki Suigetsu and I'm from Kiri. Who are you?" He asked, "I know you're from Konoha."

So he's from Kirigakure. "Lattè Erin." I answer.

"That's a weird name Erin-chan."

"Don't add 'chan' to my name."

Suigetsu looked confused, "uhh… Erin-hime?"

"No, just Erin or Erin-San." I correct. I don't like the feminine honorifics very much because people often use it to tell you that you're cute or need protecting. "So why is Orochimaru after us?" I ask.

"Well… The members of my clan are capable of turning into water." He shrugged. "I don't know why they took you. I guess there must be something special about you that they liked."

"Hmm." I think for a moment. "So how are we getting out?"

Suigetsu looks surprised, then a grin appears on his face which promptly disappears and he looks down at his feet depressedly, " we can't do anything. They have us both in chakra cuffs."

"You're tied up?" I asked.

"Yeah. So are you. I saw them put the cuffs on you."

I remember something that the doctors have been fussing over the entire time I've been in this world.

I hold up my hands, easily slipping out of the cuffs. "Don't you need chakra for them to work?" I asked with a grin.

"What!? You can get out!" He cried, "let me out!" He exclaimed squirming in his spot.

I furiously shushed him as I got up and quietly made my way towards him.

I found that his hands were bound in handcuffs chaining him to the floor and let out an irritated hiss when I see that I need a key.

"What's wrong?" He asked, quieter now.

"I need a key." I stated flatly sitting back in my spot.

"You're staying here? You could escape right now!" He asked.

"I'm not leaving you behind." I said quietly.

"Why? We're from different villages!" He cried, "it would be smarter for you to leave me behind."

"I'm not a ninja." I stated, "and nobody deserves to be kidnapped. Get it?"

Suigetsu looked dumbfounded and eventually nodded his head. "A guy who should have keys is going to come in soon to give us water." He frowned, thinking, "but you aren't a ninja…"

"I'm not a civilian either. I can at least try."

Suigetsu looked confused but didn't ask as we waited.

After about fifteen minutes a man climbed in with a water bladder and I pretended to be asleep.

"The girl's still asleep eh?"

Only silence came from Suigetsu and I allow my eyes to open a crack. The man was crouching in front of him and moving the water bladder forward so he could have a drink.

I made my move.

I kicked the man's legs out from under him and jumped on top. I grabbed the keys from his belt and slammed my fist into his face. I then grabbed the man's hands and forced them into my chakra cuffs. All the while Suigetsu is enthusiastically cheering me on. While the man was trapped and cursing loudly I jump towards Suigetsu. Ready to unlock him.

But that's when five others jumped onto the caravan and a blow to the head knocked me out.

"Well you did a lot better than I thought you would." Said Suigetsu reassuringly while I leaned backwards, trying to sooth my headache.

"You're not helping." I furiously try to think of something to get us out of here. This heat isn't helping. I'm assuming that right now we're in the desert.

After our last escape attempt Orochimaru's henchmen tied my hands up with rope while I was knocked out so now we have a lot less leverage. And they are a lot more suspicious.

"Hey I'm just trying to keep up the mood and I you've got more ideas than me on how to escape." he then collapses backwards dramatically and sticks out his tongue. "Oh Kami, it's SO hot!"

I feel bad for him. Isn't he supposed to basically be made out of water? I wish there was something I could do…

Wait, maybe there is! "HEY LOSERS MY FRIEND'S DYING OF THIRST!" I yell dramatically.

Suigetsu immediately sits up. "What the hell are you doing!?" He whispers furiously.

"If we can't escape, why don't we get loud and hope someone hears? Also, if I can't get away, I'm planning on making this process as long and annoying as possible." I answered.

Somebody rushed in with a water bladder and gave Suigetsu a drink. They then turned to me. "You haven't eaten or drank anything throughout this entire trip. Do you need water?"

I nod my head and the person moves forward to give me a drink. But as soon as they get close enough I lurch forward and bite their hand, drawing blood. The person yells in surprise and pain and I kick their legs out from under them from where I'm sitting.

I smirk in triumph, but as soon as the person is up they hit me hard in the head and the world goes black.

"Have you got a death wish!?" Snapped Suigetsu the second I wake up.

"I'd rather die than become a test subject to Orochimaru." I answer honestly.

I saw Suigetsu biting his lip before answering, "I can't believe you! You're not even a ninja and you're putting your life on the line."

I shrug and look around, this time when I woke up my legs were tied tightly so that I couldn't hit people whenever they walked in.

"Do you know when we'll get to Suna?" I asked, when we get there it might be our last chance at escape.

"Hn. We should be there by midnight tonight." He gave me a questioning look, "do you have a plan?"

"Shout really loudly." Suigetsu gave me a deadpan look, and I let out a sigh, "do you know how long we'll be there?"

"Well, we were in Konoha for about four days so I'm guessing that time to a week."

"Hn." I answer quietly, still thinking. There is no way they could keep us in this cart out in the open for a week so that must mean they're going to move us into a building or a house. That might be our chance. But how would they get us into the village in the first place? Wouldn't the guards want to search the caravan before they got in?

Unless they have allies within the village. I let out a sigh and lean back. "So you can turn into water Suigetsu?" I asked.

"Yeah, but I can't do it with these chakra cuffs on." He said with an annoyed huff. "So unless we can think of a way to get them off it isn't going to work."

I look around, thinking hard. "Can you show me you chakra cuffs?" I ask.

Suigetsu looks confused but awkwardly turns around so that I can see. They're rusty. I smirk, my plan might work.

"I have an idea but we'll have to wait until we're in the village."

I'm exhausted. I think that my lack of food and water is starting to take its toll in my body. Suigetsu eyes me with concern as I struggle to stay awake.

"Are you sure that you can go through with the plan? You look terrible." He asks quietly.

"Yes I'm sure." I answered stubbornly. "It's like I said before. I'd rather die than become a test subject." I stated flatly.

Suigetsu simply frowns at me and sighs, "whatever. It's your body, not mine."

We sat in silence while we waited to arrive at the village. I entertained myself by counting the number of chakra signatures that I could sense. It seemed like there was elev-no, ten people and one horse. I can recognize the man who always comes to give us food and water. I can also distinguish the driver.

I move onto trying to guess how strong somebody is or if they're male or female. So far, I've got seven men and three women. Four people have good chakra control and I think that two people have curse seals. That's all I've got for now.

I sharply draw in a breath as somebody suddenly starts shouting orders. And I turn and make eye-contact with Suigetsu.

We're here and we need to start our plan.

A/N: So Erin meets Suigetsu and they make a plan to escape! What do you think that plan is? You'll find out in the next chapter!

Like I said before, I love getting reviews and hearing your feedback and questions! So keep it up!
