Hey guys! Long time no see! I am sorry for my late update and how sloppy I have been with the others! Please accept my dearest apologies. On the bright side, I did update. I don't know how good this story is (seeing as I didn't get my chapter read over by someone else), but I am getting back into the groove of things since it is summer break. I hope you all continue to enjoy. It is kind of short.
(Sasuke's POV)
I was currently running through the forest at high speed, looking for any clues to help me find Tenten's whereabouts. Shikamaru had instructed me to find her since I was the only one who would be able to at this point. The others would just get in the way: Ino is useless, Naruto would do more harm than good, and Sakura… well, she would probably just annoy me.
At any rate, Shikamaru wanted to lead the others on ahead to the capitol. I had no objections. It is better to just keep the team moving, and not waste time. The less days we spend goofing off, the more we have to actually make a difference in this war.
(Tenten's POV)
It was nearing nightfall and I had been lying in the same spot since I was first brought here. Lee and Gai had gone to sleep hours ago, both exhausted from their training. Other than that, nothing had changed. I was hungry, cold, lonely, and kind of bored. That's when I noticed someone in the bushes just beyond the back yard of this (I guess) dojo.
(Normal POV)
"Psst! Tenten, over here!" Tenten looked from her position on the floor and over to the bushes. There she saw a lone figure cloaked in darkness.
"Are you the grim reaper?" Tenten asked in a solemn manner. "Are you here to claim my soul and take me to the other realm beyond?"
The figure gave out a low chuckle before walking over, causing some amount of panic to rise inside of Tenten. "I never knew you were so… emo, Tenten." The figure said before walking into the light of the dojo and revealing that it was indeed Sasuke who had come to rescue the damsel Tenten.
"Sasuke!" Never in her whole life had Tenten been so happy to see Sasuke Uchiha.
"Shut the fuck up!" And now she wasn't. Sasuke moved over to Tenten and began untying her ropes. "We need to be as quiet as possible." He freed her.
Tenten stood and rubbed her wrists. Slowly she cracked her knuckles and moved towards her captors' room. Sasuke held her back. "What are you doing?"
"They took my bow and arrows, the only weapons I have. We need to get them back!" Tenten spoke in a hushed voice.
"Look, we can get you new weapons some other time. Right now we need to focus and get you out of here!" Sasuke stated.
Tenten snapped. "No! I need my weapons! You can't just replace them! Weapons have feelings too!" Tenten shouted/whispered.
There was a pause in the air. An awkward one. "Right…" Sasuke said as he scratched the back of his neck. "Fine. I will get your weapons. You stay here and-!"
"No. I will get my weapons. You stay here and be on alert." Tenten said as she put a calm hand on Sasuke's armored chest. Then she gave it a small knock. "Your armor is heavy, which causes you to move slow, and with every movement you make, the more noise your armor does. I should go. My armor is relatively clothing. Nothing will be heard from me."
Sasuke wanted to argue back, but he knew Tenten was right. It was a miracle no one heard him yet. "Okay fine, but be careful. I will wait 5 minutes for you to get in and get out."
(Tenten's POV)
I appreciated Sasuke's concern and dedication to my retrieval. It was nice to know that someone in this world, besides Neji and my family, cared about my safety. At least, I hope Sasuke cared. But anyway, I found my weapons located in the farthest corner of Lee and Gai's (I think that is their names). It didn't take long for me to gather them and make my way across the room.
When I finally made it back outside to Sasuke, I noticed that the stars were shining rather brightly in the sky and the moon hanging high up. It was night, and according to a conversation between Lee and Gai, this area was twice as dangerous during nightfall.
I tried to tell Sasuke that. I tried to warn him about the danger we could potentially be in, but he didn't listen. And that is how I got into my second kidnapping. Way to go, Sasuke Uchiha.
(With the others)
Ino gazed up into the bright light. "What's that?" She shielded her sky blue eyes against the harmful rays. Inside of the rays a silhouette descended to the earth. Wings were on either side of the being, both spread for an easy landing.
"JESUS CAME BACK TO EARTH!" Naruto exclaimed before Sakura gave him a quick punch to the head.
"Naruto, you idiot!" Sakura scolded. "We don't need a national controversy!"
"But," Ino began. "It looks like an angel."
I don't know if any of you will be happy to know this particular SPOILER: I think we know who that is... DUN DUN DUN DUUUUUUH!
Sorry to end it like that guys, but this is a work in progress. I hope you all will stick around and keep reading. If you have anything to add please review. I hope you liked this story up to here.
