Vacation From Hell?

Chapter Ten: In Time?

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto :( (Does it need to be said!?)

I ran into the room, looking at the figure before me, amazed at how he manages it every time...

"Hello girls..." Said the figure as he spun around in the chair.

Back at the house:

The ringing of the phone rang through the house, echoing through the hallway, never ceasing, like a important alarm... or maybe just an annoying sound, the device making it just waiting to be smashed against the wall.

"If only..." A wistful voice said out loud, the noise joining the ringing, but unlike the ringing, it ended.

With the boys:

"Damn, in all the confusion we lost them!" Sasuke muttered, followed by a string of colourful cursing.

"Thanks for stating the obvious genius!" Neji growled, sharply turning the car round the corner, narrowly dodging an oncoming car.

"Ahhhh!" Naruto whimpered.

"This is so troublesome!" Shikamaru yelled from the back of the car, any sign of the normal, calm Shikamaru vanished.

"It was just a decoy as well, how could we be so stupid?" Neji muttered, driving faster then before.

Back To Tenten:

"Orochimaru," Sakura growled beside me.

"Now, now, no need to be hostile," Orochimaru replied, standing slowly from his chair.

"Oh, so now we are nice, now you have what you need?" I yelled, as he started to close the distance one step at a time.

"What I need? Oh... That? That's not all I need you know, I need to bring down them annoying pest Tsunade, your Sensai, and Jiraiya, the boys sensai. And do you know it? I have come up with a perfect plan!" He replied, slowly... choosing his word choice carefully, like scared by saying one thing wrong would set off the wrong reaction... what is he planning? Suddenly he clicked his fingers, and as he did, I felt two arms garb mine, and put me in a tight arm lock thing. "You see I was thinking, what is the best way to get to my two dear old friends, you see a fight one on one would cost me too many resources, as we are well matched, and who knows, the unthinkable may happen! So no, that is not the way, but what else is there? That's when it hit me, there only soft spot I can use against them, other then sake and girls, is their students, as they have no children, or husbands, or dearly beloved... so you are my only chance, I hope you don't mind."

"Oh, now what gave you the impression we would mind, huh?" Hinata growled, fighting to break free from her own captor, and judging by the look on her face it only made his grip on her arms tighter.

"Well, you never know, you may be just like your good old teacher... and be able to hold the king of all grudges, and if that is the case, then I had better be watching my back," Orochimaru replied. "And also I had better make sure this plan works." He added as an after thought.

We all stood there in a stoney silence for a moment or two before Orochimaru began to leave the room. I felt the person behind me turn me and him to face the door. He slowly managed to push me out of the door, the last ones through.

A van emerged from the trees, pulling up outside the house. It was blacked out and had a large back, much like a police van. I looked around nervously, weighing up my options... a way to escape, anything. Orochimaru had left sometime ago, and now it was just us two and the girls with their nice new friends, along with the driver of the van. I was in a tight grip, and held in a way I couldn't quiet manage to kick him in the balls, I take it they learnt from last time then. Whoever said old dogs can't learn knew tricks?

As I was weighing up my options I heard a distant noise, so faint that unless listening for it you would miss it, the very faint, almost not there, noise of a cars engine. And judging from the fact I could hear it, it was going fast. There was only one way down here, so it also meant that it was headed here. Our escape route!

The Boys:

"Dammit, I hope we aren't to late!" Naruto muttered.
