Chapter 8: More Dangers Ahead
The next morning, the two men came in again. The first man opened the gates and he and the other man stepped in. Ino, Sakura, Seiji, Hinata and Satsuki turned to glare at them.
"How are you able to get up girl? You should be well on your way to dying right now!" One of the men yelled. Satsuki just smirked.
"That's for me to know and for you to figure out." she said, smirking at them. The men seem to get angrier. Then they looked over and saw Tenten still unconscious.
"Well, it looks like you mommy didn't get so lucky did she?" the other man said, taunting Satsuki. She just lowered her eyes. All of a sudden, one of the men grabbed Sakura and hoisted her over his shoulder.
"Looks like we're going to have to do this the hard way." they said before exiting the cell with Sakura yelling "Stupid bastards, let me go right now or Sasuke-kun will have your head for hurting me and-" She was cut off when one of the men knocked her unconscious.
"Annoying brat." He muttered before he and his companion went down the hall and into the second door on the right.
Hinata's eyes widened. Will Sakura suffer the same fate as Tenten? She looked over to her friend. She was still out cold. The poison didn't seem to be affecting her as much as it had affected Satsuki although Hinata knew it was a matter of time before it started to spread like wild fire.
"Damn it, Neji you said you knew the way and now look where we're at." Naruto glared at said prodigy before he tried with all his might not to hurt them.
"Is it my fault we have to go through the middle of town just to get to the girls?" Neji replied, his anger growing by the second.
"Wasn't there an alternate route?" Sasuke asked.
"The only one that could get us to this town square garden fastest was this route." Shikamaru said.
"Yes, but if we took any of the others, it still would've been much faster than this." Sasuke groaned when he saw more coming.
"Thank goodness Temari's gone on first." Neji muttered, as he tried not to punch them out of the way.
"Watching us being bombarded with random fangirls wasn't her idea of fun." Naruto said and he fought the urge to push this one girl so that she would go six feet underground.
"Where do they all come from anyways?" Sasuke asked.
"I don't know but they do get bigger in number every single time we go to a new town." Shikamaru said, prying one girl off of his pants.
"We still need to get out and FAST or we'll be fangirl food." Naruto said glaring at some of the fangirls. They squealed and some even fainted but most took out a random camera and started taking pictures.
It was nightfall when the two men came back with Sakura. Or what was left of Sakura. Ino gasped. Her best friend was in a terrible state. It wasn't as bad as Tenten yet but it had the potential to be. Sakura had major cuts everywhere, like someone was whipping her with a lash over and over. She was still conscious as the two men brought her in and dumped her on the hard stone ground. They left quickly and Ino turned to her friend.
"Sakura, can you hear me?" Ino said in a panic.
"Table, blue pills…" she said before she fainted.
"Good, she found them." Satsuki said.
"Found what?" Hinata asked.
"The pills to help heal and cure the poison." Satsuki said.
"Explain." Ino said.
"Well, before I was hurt by those two men, I over heard them talking about the cure to the poison in a blue pill form, so when I saw some blue pills on the table, I quickly ate one before they started torturing me. It was the cure to the poison. It also helps heals wounds faster, so I told Sakura about them while I was conscious last night and I knew she was going to be the one who was tortured next. I heard them talking about it." Satsuki finished.
"Tenten doesn't know does she?" Ino asked. Satsuki shook her head.
"I saw kaa-san when they went to change victims and I tried to tell her about the pill, but it was like she couldn't see me…" Satsuki said, looking over to her mother. Hinata and Ino did the same. Seiji just stayed silent, looking out the window.
At once, there was a quiet rapping sound on the window. Seiji quickly whispered to them to look at the window farthest from them. There they saw a shadow with spiky hair. What appeared to be a light was in her hands.
"Temari!" they all whispered at the same time. Temari peeked through the tiny window before spotting Ino the Hinata. Before she could look around any further, two different pairs of footsteps were heard heading down the hall. Ino signalled Temari to turn the light off. She did it just in time as a young teenage boy and a middle age man came in. The man opened the gate and the boy pointed at Hinata.
"That one." he said before exiting the cell, leaving the man with the girls. The man smiled coyly before he grabbed Hinata roughly by the arm and exited with her slung casually over his shoulders. Hinata didn't make a fit like Sakura did.
Ino panicked. What if they took Seiji next? What if they found Temari and took her? Then she saw a light. A big sigh of relief exited her lips. Temari had shined the light in again when she was certain that the men had left. Ino hoped and prayed with all her might now that Hinata would be ok.
Temari waited. And waited. And waited until the voices of those people from Kira was gone. Then she waited until their footsteps were far away before she shined the light into the small cell again. She had seen Ino and Hinata awake earlier but she didn't see the rest of the people. She looked in through the cell and immediately saw Ino's begging face to help them out of there. Hinata wasn't there anymore. That only meant…Temari couldn't even think about it. Then she saw Seiji sitting in a corner with Satsuki, who was pretty battered up, and they were beside a beaten up body. Temari gasped as she recognized the body to be Tenten's. She looked around for any sign that Sakura was still in the cell, and she saw a blob of pink hair in one of the shadows of the cell. At first glance, Sakura did look dead, but as Temari looked closer, she saw that Sakura began to stir. A sigh of relief escaped her out before she heard a crack of a branch behind her.
Naruto twitched as he accidently stepped on a branch. He felt a presence in front of him, and as he looked up, he saw Temari armed with her fan out.
"Cool it Temari, it's just us." Shikamaru told her in a calm matter.
"Oh. Alright." Temari responded and let her fan down.
"So how are the girls?" Naruto asked his voice panicky.
"Tennie, and Saku are hurt really badly, Satsuki looked a bit beaten up, I couldn't find Hina, but Ino and Seiji looked fine." Temari responded.
"What! Where's Hinata-chan?" Naruto said, his voice barely above a whisper.
"I don't kn-" before Temari could finish her sentence; a loud creak indicated that the gate to the cell was opening. A body could be heard hitting the floor and male voices could be distinguished. Naruto almost rushed forward to see what happened, but Neji held him back silencing him.
What the voices, and the footsteps could not be heard anymore, the four boys went with Temari closer to the window. Temari shined her light in and they could immediately see Ino. Ino saw them too and her eyes glimmered as she saw that Shikamaru was with Temari.
"Shika-kun!" she whispered, a bright smile appearing on her face.
"Ino, are you ok?" Shikamaru asked, his voice full of concern.
"I'm fine and so is Seiji. We haven't been hurt yet." Ino answered. She heard Shikamaru breath a sigh of relief.
"How are the others?" Neji asked, his voice betraying the fact that he was so desperately trying to find out how Tenten and Satsuki were.
"How about Hinata-chan?" Naruto said, his voice even more panicky then before.
"Satsuki was the first of us to get beaten up, but she found the antidote to the poison and at it before they injected the poison into her. Sakura was punished yesterday, but she also found the pill. Hinata just got back and she's unconscious so we don't know what has happened to her. Sakura is going to be awake soon so you could ask her how she feels. Tenten is probably in the worst shape right now. She didn't get the antidote in time so you guys have to figure out a way to get us out now."
"Is she alright though?" Neji asked, unmasking the concern.
"Kaa-san has been asleep since yesterday." Satsuki replied.
"We have to find a way to get in there and rescue them!" Naruto said. Who knows how badly Hinata could be hurt right now.
"Can any of us get through the window?" Neji asked. The boys all looked at Temari.
"Alright, but I'm gong to have to leave my fan with you, because I can't take it in with me. It's too big." Temari said, taking off her fan. Neji nodded before he proceeded to think of a way to break the iron bars that trapped the girls inside. He noticed that the bars were old and rusted. He told everyone to step back and told Ino to tell everyone to stay away from the window. Then, adding a little chakara to his fist, he punched the iron bars. They broke and fell through into the cell.
"Alright Neji!" Naruto said as he help lower Temari into the cell while Sasuke and Shikamaru kept watch.
Temari slowly lowered herself down into the cell. When she felt her feet touch the stone floor, she told Naruto to let go. She felt herself drop a bit before she landed safely on the ground. She turned around and the first one she approached was Ino.
"Ino, can you stand?" she asked the blonde.
"I'm stuck. These things are blocking my chakara flow." Ino said, eyes the cuffs that held her hands and feet together. Temari looked around and saw a pin just outside of the cell. She picked it up and started to pick at the cuff. It opened with a click and Ino stood up while Temari worked on getting rid of her hand cuffs too. Those came off with ease and she told Ino to go over to the window. Ino walked over and was hoisted out with help from Naruto. Temari looked around and saw Seiji and Satsuki. She went over and heard Seiji mutter to Satsuki, "You go first, I want to help kaa-san." Satsuki nodded.
Temari proceeded to pick the locks for both Seiji and Satsuki. When she was free, Satsuki went over to the window and Naruto lifted her out. Seiji stayed behind to watch his mother as Sakura started to wake up.
"Sakura! Are you ok?" Temari asked.
"I'm fine, I think."
"Alright, I'll get you out next so hold still." Temari said as she started pick at the lock for Sakura's cuffs. Within minutes, Sakura was free and she too was hoisted out of the small cell. Temari turned to look at Hinata. The heiress was already up and looking at her.
"Hina-chan! Did they hurt you?" Temari asked, while pick the lock for Hinata's hand cuffs.
"I can't move my right arm." She said quietly.
"Well, let's get you out first." Temari said kindly as she released Hinata from her leg cuffs too. At once, male voices were heard down the hall. The voices were yelling something about a blonde and they were getting closer. The boys must've heard too because Sasuke quickly snapped to Temari, telling her to hurry.
Temari helped Hinata up and she walked the rest of the way where, at the window, she was helped out by Naruto and Sasuke. Temari looked around to find Seiji staring at her in horror. She ran over to Tenten's side and immediately began to pick at the cuffs. The voices got closer and closer, the footsteps got louder and louder and then they stopped. Temari released the last of Tenten's cuffs as she realized something. Those assassins from Kira had heard her and they were doing a lousy job of trying to creep up on her. Seiji must've realised this too as the footsteps got closer. Temari looked down to Tenten's body and checked for major external injuries. Then, without thinking, she hoisted Tenten's body over her shoulder and ran towards the window. Seiji followed and he picked out a kunai knife from his pocket. Temari managed to get to the window before four huge men burst into eh room and stared at her wide eyed. Two headed back out and the other two started to unlock the cell. Temari realised that the two men that left were going to go outside and try to stop the boys from leaving.
"Go first." she yelled to Seiji.
"But kaa-san-"
"Just GO!" she said as the men burst into the cell and headed straight for them.
Seiji chucked his kunai at the men and it grazed one of them on the arm. He hopped out quickly and Temari started to give Tenten's body to Naruto. He reached out and caught her but Temari whipped right back around to face the two men. They were looming over her at this point, but the quickly took the pin she had and aimed it at the eye of the bigger man. It hit and the man withered in pain. His companion seemed really angry as he charged with full speed towards her. She picked a kunai and a poison covered needle out of her pocket to chuck at the man. She turned around and got out of the cell before more men appeared at the door. She nodded and the boys quickly used a teleportation jutsu to transport them into the boundaries of Konoha.
Ino heaved a sigh of relief. She turned to look at Tenten, Hinata and Sakura.
"Hina-chan, Saku are you alright?" she asked the two unsteady girls.
"Hina-chan's broken her arm but I don't have enough chakara to heal it." Sakura said.
"Me neither. Now's Tenten?" Ino asked.
"Still unconscious and I think she's hurt really badly, so I want to get her back to Konoha ASAP because Tsunade-sensei would know what to do." Sakura replied.
"Can we use that transportation jutsu again Shika?" Ino asked the man beside her.
"No. I'm afraid not. We can't gather enough chakara to do that again. I'm sorry Ino." Shikamaru said.
"But Tenten needs to get back to Konoha FAST. We can't risk another day!" Sakura yelled. It was really hard for her, being a skilled medic nin and not being able to help her friend in need.
"Calm down first Sakura." Sasuke said soothingly. He hugged her and let her whimper softly into his chest. Naruto held Hinata close while she was seated on a rock. Ino felt Shikamaru use one arm to pull her closer. He then bent down and went into his thinking stance. Satsuki whined softly at the pain in her gashed and Neji quickly bent down to her to try and soothe her. Seiji stayed by his mother's side.
At once, there was a rustle in the bushes. All nine pair of eyes snapped up to see…
TBC…
I will end story in about two chapters time, but until then, be patient with me. Sorry this took so long. I have exams coming up and my mom's been yelling at me about that dreaded thing again T.T (piano). I will upload Chapter 10 as soon as I can. Don't worry, I haven't given up on Operation SHAB yet but I did com up with a new idea and I am definitely going to do it. It will be a series of stories all related to each other. That's all I'm going to spoil.
Bye Byez
