Chapter 10: Running out of time
Tenten tried to scream but failed because of the duck tape. Sasuke watch for a second. As the flames surrounded her feet. Then, he jumped into action.
"Tenten! I'm gonna get you out of there!" he said. The flames just grew higher and higher. She felt a tear come down her cheek as she was burned by the blaze. She could not take it anymore. The flames burnt her skin on her lower calf slowly. She closed her eyes to take away the pain. Then, she felt a hand on her face. She opened her eyes as the duck tape was ripped off. Sasuke was standing… in the flame trying to get her untied.
"You idiot! Save yourself!" she cried. He just ignored her and continued untying her legs.
"Neji would kill me if I don't save you." said Sasuke as she felt herself fall to the ground and carried out of the flames. Both teens were limping as they both collapsed on the ground as the pole began to burn. The flame just got bigger and bigger. Then, there was a large rumbled.
"This place is going to collapse!" cried Tenten. Both of the teens stood up slowly. They screamed as the pain from their burnt skin kicked in. They helped each other limp the other way. When Sasuke spotted a door, he swung it open and help Tenten get though then shut it quickly. They were back in the old shed where Sasuke had entered. They both sighed in relief collapsing again onto the floor of the shed.
"How did… that fire start?" Sasuke asked Tenten. She panted.
"When you turned around, he pulled a match out." said Tenten.
"He?" Sasuke asked.
"Yeah. He had silver looking hair. He was the one who kidnapped me." Tenten explained her kidnapping. About the man and how he dragged her into the woods.
"I never saw him behind you. How is that possible?" asked Sasuke.
"I don't know.. he was probably in the shadows." she said.
"Sasuke?" Tenten asked.
"Yeah?"
"Thanks.."
"…No problem."
There was a silence. Then they heard footsteps.
"Someone is coming." Sasuke whispered.
"What do we do?" she asked.
"Hope…"
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
"Please! Let me go!" Sakura shrieked as she was pulled out of the car and tied up.
"What have you done with Hannah!" she yelled. 'Hannah' did not respond. She continued to tie up the girl. Hannah then, pick Sakura up and began to walk into the woods.
"Don't worry, child. You will be in no pain soon. After you die." said 'Hannah' finally responded. They continued onward until there was a clearing spotted. In the middle of the clearing sat a log cabin.
"Wait! Please don't! I just want to go back to my old home!" Sakura cried.
"Shut up. Don't worry. If it's Hannah you want to see, then it is Hannah you will get." said 'Hannah' as 'she? he?' opened the door to the house and step inside. Sakura gasped at what she saw.
The room was covered with human body parts. The skin to people's body's were nailed to the cabin walls and even the floors were covered with skin and blood was everywhere. It smelt disgusting. Sakura wanted to puke as 'Hannah' sat her down in a chair. She saw 'Hannah' then pull off her blond hair. Showing black hair.
"Wha….wha.." Sakura shook. She could not even talk. The person smiled evilly at her. Then began to walked around the room grabbing things.
"W-who..are you?" Sakura asked. The man ignored her. Then, a man came in with silver hair. He stared at Sakura then at the black hair man.
"Sir. She is dead now."
"Good job, Kabuto. Now all we have to do is get the Haruno girl here dead." said the black haired man.
"What do you want! Why are you doing this to us!" cried Sakura. Tears began to form in her eyes.
"Revenge…" said the black hair man.
"What do we have to do with all of this?" said Sakura sadly as she stared at the ground. The black haired man did not respond.
"What are you going to do to me?" Sakura asked. She looked up to see the man staring at her smiling. He walk over to a bucket and picked it up.
"This is just a…. sample." said the man as he showed Sakura what was inside the bucket.
"No…."
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
"We will just go into the shed." Naruto said as they began walking. When they reached the shed, they heard voices.
"Someone is in there." Shikamaru stated. Neji cautiously step closer to the door and pushed it open with the flashlight they had. The door opened loudly and the moonlight shown in to see..
"Tenten? Sasuke?" Neji breathed. Then stepped inside. Fast walking over to Tenten and hugged her.
"Ow… Neji please let go." she cried. He released her as everyone came in.
"What happened?" Naruto asked. They all gasped when they saw Tenten and Sasuke's burns. Tenten explained everything.
"Then we might want to move. The flames could come in here. It's warming up already." Shikamaru stated and help Sasuke up. Neji picked Tenten up bridal style and walked out of the shed. Sitting Tenten and Sasuke down on the grass near the woods.
"Where's Sakura?" Sasuke asked. Naruto's eyes became covered with quilt. Hinata squeezed his hand.
"She was….captured." Mr. Haruno stated. Everyone told their story of what happened.
"So Sakura is out there somewhere?" Tenten asked. She sigh and buried her face in her hands.
"I can't do this.." she mumbled.
"You guys shouldn't move. It will only make your burns worse." Hinata stated. She got on her knees and sat next to Tenten.
"They need to get to a hospital." Shikamaru said. "If they don't get in there in a proximate 2 hours….." Shikamaru stopped his sentence. There was a silence.
"It hurts." Tenten cried softly as she crawled closer to Hinata.
"I know, Tenten. We just got to keep you guys here." Hinata said calmly stroking Tenten's head.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
"no…"
"Oh yes."
"Please! Don't!"
"It's the perfect torture weapon."
"Why are you doing this?"
"….."
"ANSWER ME!"
A slapping sound was heard.
"SHUT UP CHILD! YOU ARE LUCKY I HAVE NOT KILLED YOU YET!"
There was a muffle cry.
"Now, Kabuto. Bring Miss Haruno down to where she needs to be."
"Yes…..Orochimaru Sir."
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
"We need to spit up again."
Everyone stared at Naruto in disbelief.
"Are you kidding? Last time we spit up, Tenten went missing!" Shikamaru said.
"Well, we need to. I will go find Sakura and the rest of you help Sasuke and Tenten…"
"Oh no your not, Naruto. Your not going alone. If you are going, I am going with you." Ino said.
"But you might get captured like Sakura!"
"Ino's right, Naruto. We need someone to know where you are. And just in case one of you get caught the other on cane find help. I have an idea. How about Shikamaru and Mr. Haruno stay with Sasuke and Tenten, you and Ino go find Sakura, and Hinata and I go find help down the road." Neji said. Neji's plan was perfect. Hinata and Neji were both very fast runners and could probably get help faster than any of them could.
"That's a good idea." Hinata said. "What do you guys think?"
Everyone nodded slowly.
"Well, what are we waiting for? We have to go before it's too late for both Sasuke and Tenten. AND Sakura!" Naruto said. He stood up from where he knelt on the grass and grabbed the grass clippers he found in the basement. Then, he helped Ino up.
"Ok. Let's go." Neji said as he got up as well grabbing the shovel they found in the basement. They decided to keep the knife and baseball bat with Shikamaru, Mr. Haruno, Tenten, and Sasuke just in case.
As the two blondes and two Hyuugas began to walk on the road, Tenten waved.
"Come back quick!" she cried.
"Don't worry! We will come back…" Neji said over his shoulder.
"With help." Hinata added. Then, they were out of sight.
As the four walked along the road, Naruto explained the plan.
"Ok. If we find anything of where Sakura is, then don't stop with us. Continue on the road to find help." The two Hyuugas nodded.
Soon enough, a light green car came into view.
"That's the car!" Ino said. Naruto and Ino ran over as Hinata and Neji kept walking on the road. They picked up their pace to a run.
"See you guys!" Hinata called as the two ran off into the midnight fog. There was a silence before Ino and Naruto began to search the car for anything or anyone. Inside the car was all fake panther skin and a black dashboard. Ino found a wallet and a wig of blond hair in the driver's seat.
"Hey Naruto look. A wallet." Ino said as she opened the wallet. Naruto looked over her shoulder as she took out a driver's license.
"Hannah Kumori." Ino said. "Same age as us."
Both blonds looked a the picture. The girl in the picture had blonde hair and grey eyes. She had a few freckles and a huge grin.
"Wow. She's pretty." Ino commented. Then she handed Naruto the wallet and began to look in the glove box. Naruto found 300 dollars and a credit card in one pocket of the wallet, then, he found a piece of paper.
"6, 3, 9, 6" Naruto read off the paper. He put his in his pocket just in case.
"Hey! Look! I found a cell phone!" Ino said. She held up a black cell phone. She turned it on and looked at the screen. I read: 2 new text messages. Ino pressed: View Now on the cell phone. One of the messages was from Sakura. Saying something about a shoe store discount. The other message was from a private number……the message said:
'Line in use'
"Whats 'Line in use' mean?" Ino asked. She studied the message, then handed it to Naruto.
"No clue." he said. Then exited out of the message.
It just popped up again.
"What?" Naruto asked himself. He tried again. Then again.
Every time he tried, it would show up. He could not call anyone.
"Hey Ino, can a cell phone get a virus from a text message?" Naruto asked. Ino shrugged.
"I don't know. But I do know is that this phone is useless now." Ino said. She put the wallet and the cell phone back on the seat.
"Let's check the trunk." she said. She got out of the car and opened the trunk in the back…
She screamed.
Naruto ran over after her and let out a small gasp.
In the trunk, we a body. The body was stabbed in the heart and blood was everywhere. The person was wearing a green shirt and blue jeans that were both now covered in blood. Their eyes were open, and their hair was cut off.
It was….
Hannah Kumori.
"Then…..the wig…is." Ino said… She felt like she was going to puke.
And that's what she did.
She ran over to the woods and puked her guts out. Naruto ran after her and held her hair up. While doing this, he looked around.
That's when he saw a foot print.
"Ino." he said when Ino stood up straight. "There's a foot print. I think we can figure out where they went. Ino nodded.
Naruto walked over to the foot print and bent down to examine it. Ino followed him and looked over his shoulder. The shoe was like a boot. There was some blood on the sides of it. The foot prints lead into a bush.
"Let's go." Naruto said. Ino nodded and stood up straight.
"Hold on. Let me just get the stuff from the car. I might be useful." she said. Going back to the car. She grabbed the wallet and the cell phone looked disgusted at the wig. Then, something clicked in her mind.
"Hey Naruto. Do you see any keys around?" she asked the other blond looking up at him from where he stood near the front of the car. He shrugged.
"Nope. I didn't see any." Ino went back into the car and looked in the back seat. That when, she saw a rip in the carpet. She lifted the carpet up and found what she was looking for.
"Hey! I found some!" she looked under the back seats and found another set of keys.
"Let's go." Naruto said as he clipped the clippers one time to show he was ready.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
She was tied in rope for her hands and legs and thrown into a closet until it came 'time'. When the closet door slammed shut, she began to cry. Tears streamed down her face and onto the duck tape that was taped to her mouth. She stayed like that for a while. Sobbing quietly. When, she heard a voice. When she looked up, there was someone across from her sitting on the closet floor. She had red hair. A strand in her face. And she was….
Not tied up.
Sakura looked her up and down. She was wearing some type of uniform like the one the black hair man had on. She smiled at Sakura making her have shivers go up and down her spine.
"You want me to untie you, huh?" the girl asked. She reached over and ripped the duck tape off of Sakura's mouth. It took a few seconds before Sakura said anything.
"Why are you not tied up?"
The girl smirked. "Well, well, you get straight to the point don't you. My name is Tayuya. And I am not tied up because I don't need to be."
"My name is Sakura and I am going to die." this made Tayuya laugh softly. Sakura glared. "Why don't you escape? Are you apart of them?"
"Why do you need to know?"
"Because…..I'm a curious person."
"Hm… your not like the others."
"Others?"
"Don't ask." Tayuya sighed and crossed her legs.
"My family was captured by Orochimaru. I begged him not to kill them. And I gave up my life for theirs. Now, if I leave, my family is hunted down and killed. He also got a large sum of money from my family." Tayuya explained.
"Why would he want you? I mean, no offence or anything, but why not just kill off your family and get all of their money?"
Tayuya sighed. "I really do not know the answer to that question, Sakura."
"Do your parents care now?"
"I have lived with Orochimaru 6 years of my life. My family has never found us. Police have searched everywhere for me. I was never found and they posted me as dead until further notice." she said. She sighed yet again. "Why am I telling you this?" she mumbled to herself.
"Well, you're going to die. What is he going to kill you with? He usually finds your weakness."
"……….." Sakura said nothing as she continued to cry. Sobbing soon later.
Tayuya reached over and wiped some of Sakura's tears away.
"You may have a bad ending, but remember all of the good times." she said softly. Sakura looked up at her. She thought about the times she loved.
"My mom….would swing me one my old swing set." Sakura said as she sniffed. "And…my dad would take me out every Saturday…"
"That's fun. Anything else?" Tayuya asked.
"My best friend…Hannah, would come over my house and we would eat her homemade frosty shakes.. And watch our favorite movies…"
"Well, see? At least you are not crying anymore." Tayuya said. Sakura smiled.
"TAYUYA! STOP PLAYING WITH THE VITIM!" came a voice from the outside the closet.
"SHUT UP, FATTY!" she yelled right back at the voice.
There was no other voice from outside the closet. That's when Tayuya stood up.
"Sorry, we got to go kill one of your friends." Tayuya said.
"Which one?" Sakura asked shaken a bit.
"I don't know. But I'm gonna find out." she winked and opened the door.
