Chapter 10

Tenten let out a whimper when she felt the pull on her hair. Tayuya let out a maniacal laugh.

"Welcome to our home princess" Tayuya hissed the last word out like venom. Tenten opened her eyes to see five people in front of her. Three she could figure out who they were. There was Kidoumaru with his eight swords. The only girl had to be Tayuya, she looked smaller than her personality let on. Then the biggest man must be Jirobou. Now there were only two men left. They looked identical.

"Welcome on board Princess" Kidoumaru said as he bowed. Tenten struggled with the tie around her wrists. She let out some grumbles as she fought with the ties. All the people in front of her smirked with amusement.

"Let's see what our princess has to say about this particular situation she's in." Kidoumaru said as he untied the rag around her mouth.

"Let me go! I'll kill you all. Let me go!" Tenten started to scream and swear at them till Tayuya took a step forward and slapped Tenten across the face. Tenten just looked up at her after recovering from the blow.

"You will keep your mouth shut!" Tayuya screamed at Tenten. Tenten stopped talking and just stared. Suddenly the boat gave a violent shake.

"He must be here." Jirobou thought out loud. Everyone in the room started to leave the room.

"Who?" Tenten asked knowing she would hate herself for asking.

Kidoumaru turned around before he shut the door and gave a smile that made Tenten shiver as the spiders went up her spine again.

"Orochimaru" He said as he shut the door behind him. Leaving Tenten alone in the room. Tenten started to shake as she remembered what he said to her before on the Hyuuga.

Tenten had to act quickly to get away. She quickly moved her hands from behind her back under her butt. She was happy that she was put into dance classes to help her flexibility and also sword playing. Her teacher always said that to learn how to sword play, you must be able to dance. Tenten then stretched forward and hooked her hands around her feet. Her hands were now in front of her. Tenten swiftly moved her hands to her face and used her teeth to untie the rag that was around them. After some quick untying she started to hear voices and footsteps coming down the hall. Tenten checked to see if they had taken any of her weapons. Lots of her little weapons were taken but surprisingly her swords were still in place. The voices were now outside the door. Tenten quickly put her hands behind her back to make it look like she was still tied up.

"She's in here." she heard Kidoumaru say. The door opened and in walked Orochimaru. Tenten stiffened up as she saw his snake like face. When he saw her he stuck his long slimy tongue out and licked his lips. Tenten shivered again. Behind him walked in the creepy guy with the glasses. Following him was the other five crew members. Tenten felt scared, before her stood seven of the fiercest pirates known to the West Kingdom. Any of them would kill her at any second and she wouldn't be able to do anything.

"It's only a matter of time before your captain comes to get you." Orochimaru hissed.

"He won't come here you have nothing that he wants." Tenten argued back secretly hoping that she was lying to herself. She wanted him to come. She was scared, she needed him to comfort her. She wouldn't ever show how scared she was, she must be strong.

"I wouldn't know about that." The man with glasses said as he held up the medallion. Tenten's eyes widened. Those sea scum's, how dare they touch the medallion with their dirty hands. Tenten's eyes went ablaze. She was ready to pounce but held back. It was not the right time, she would be tied back down.

"We should get ready for battle, Sakon, Ukon get the cannons ready. Tayuya, Jirobou, we will go up and prepare the deck, let's go." Kidoumaru said as he gestured with his head towards the door. Tenten almost wanted to get on her knees and beg for them not to leave her alone with Orochimaru. She tried to look at them and beg with her eyes for them to stay. None of them looked at her but Orochimaru saw the look and made his smile grow. He knew that he struck fear into Tenten's heart and was going to use that against her. Once the door was closed Orochimaru looked at his counterpart and without saying a word the man with glasses handed over the medallion and walked out of the room. Tenten thought she was freaking out before now she was hysterical. All thoughts left her head other then the thoughts of how she could get out alive. Orochimaru slithered towards her. Tenten moved away only to be stopped by the wall. She than realized she was on the bed with a small dress on. Orochimaru then started to crawl towards her. Tenten looked around frantically hoping to find something that would help her. He was closer now. Tenten then remembered her hands were untied.

Orochimaru was so close that Tenten had to turn her face to the side to avoid touching him. Orochimaru then licked the side of her face. Tenten snapped. She quickly pushed him on to the ground and jumped off the bed grabbing her swords out of her corset. Orochimaru jumped off the floor also grabbing his sword. The medallion now was on the ground in between the two of them. Tenten started to fight him. After a hard struggle she got Orochimaru sword less. She quickly cut his side.

"That was payback for last time." Tenten said as Orochimaru slithered on the ground in pain. Tenten smirked the adrenaline was still running through her veins. She felt on fire. She then smiled more when she heard the sounds of cannons. She quickly grabbed the medallion and ran towards top deck. Neji was close she could tell. She opened the doors that lead out on the deck. She suddenly stood still in shock.
