The Diary of Tsara Shikamuno: 10

Sorry, it's just I'm celebrating my 10th part of TDOTS and I'm so happy. Also, when you cut your long hair be prepared for startled looks from friends. Bye-bye! Huggles

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

When I awoke my body was so sore I could hardly move.

"That was some fight," Mirabel said. "I didn't even fight that hard. I'm amazed."

"Yeah, me too," I giggled.

"Food," The man who had brought me to the prison said. I looked at the trays seeing a brown mush in a bowl.

"Ugh, what is that?"

"Ramen," Mirabel told me.

"Let's just hope it doesn't attack." Mirabel laughed, so I started laughing as well.

We ate in silence for a while, until Mirabel said, "Once you're done you can change back into your clothes. He won't fight you for a while."

"Thanks," I said while shoving what looked somewhat like a roll into my mouth. I got up to go get changed back into my clothes, but I heard a sound like a bell ring. Then, I noticed pressure on my neck; it was a silver bell on a red ribbon.

"He put it on you while you were unconscious to make sure you wouldn't be able to surprise attack him," Mirabel stated calmly. I tried to take it off, but Mirabel told me that Krad had put a curse on it so that only he could take it off.

"You know, I hate Krad a little more each day," I said as I sat down again.

"That's how it was for me when I first got here." I shifted around hearing the bell ring again.

"He better trust me soon, and take off this bell, or else." I said while clenching my firsts.

"Why don't you get changed, it might calm you down a little."

"I'll pass." I shifted again, uncomfortable in the outfit that was given to me. Mirabel looked at me as though she knew I wanted to change.

"Look, it's all over your face, just go get into your own clothes."

"Fine," I grumbled as I walked to the room. "Hey Miiiiiirabel?"

"Yeees?"

"Might you know where my clothes are?"

"Of course, they're in one of the drawers over there," pointing at a small cabinet with two drawers. "The top is yours."

"Thanks." I ran over and got my clothes. After getting changed, I came back and talked with Mirabel about random things.

The orb opened and Krad walked through, "I hope your accommodations meet your standards." I glared at him until he asked me to come and attack him.

"Gladly," I shouted while trying to get up. The only problem was that I couldn't.

"Having trouble?"

"Not at all."

"Well then come and hit me." I struggled to get up, but I still couldn't. It was like someone was holding me down. "You see there is magic flowing through this orb; magic that I can control without much effort, and I have made it so you cannot get up and attack me."

"I hate you so much right now."

"Funny, I just thought that you might want to see your friends, but since you're being so mean…"

I growled under my breath saying, "I'm sorry, just take me to my friends."

"That's a good girl. Now come along." He snapped his fingers and I jumped up and ran past him. I looked behind to see him stop and snap his fingers again. The walls at the ends of the hallway I was in, slammed down. "Sorry, but I have to drain a little of that magic out of you first." On both of the new walls, an odd fork-like thing came out, and the walls started moving together. As they got closer an almost white charge stretched from one to the other barely missing me. "Just relax and walk into the current. It will all be done after that. You can go see your friends after do."

"Are you crazy?! I'm not walking into that." My voice echoed in the small area. The two fork-like things started to move on the walls. I didn't notice until they had hit me. I collapsed as the walls went back up.

Krad walked up to me and rested a hand on my shoulder, "C'mon, let's go see your friends."

I walked in silence as he led me through the labyrinth below the castle, making sure to keep close to him to avoid any more traps, feeling my magic power coming back with my silent rage. He opened a door in the ceiling and climbed through; he offered me a hand like Sasuke had done once. I rejected his help and climbed though on my own, feeling horrible for doing the same to Sasuke. I winced because of the brightness of day.

"The only way in is through the doors, but you can get out using the tunnels and the door." We walked through the hallway that was showering my friends and me with arrows only a short time ago. Krad opened the doors using his magic, and then pushed me through closing the doors as soon as I was in. Everyone ran over to check the door because it had been locked ever since we went in.

I heard Sakura yell, "Tsara!" This caused the other three to run faster. (Notice one's been added, it should be just Sakura, Naruto, and Kakashi, who else is here? I wonder)

All at once they shouted my name again. One of them jumped over me and hugged me from behind, causing the bell to ring. I had thought it was Naruto with a huge burst of energy, but no. "Tsara, I'm so sorry I left you down there."

I looked back… "Sasuke!" When the others came through they saw Sasuke and me hugging each other. I noticed what I had been doing and quickly let go.

"Tsara, where have you been?" Kakashi asked.

"I've been in the lower levels of the castle with Mirabel."

Naruto chimed in, "No way! The only way out is through those doors and they've been locked."

"Didn't Sasuke tell you how to get down?"

"No. He was just thrown in here, and when we asked how he got out, he couldn't remember," Sakura said.

"How can you not remember?"

"I don't know; all I remember was we were walking in the lower levels and then we were taken away."

"You mean you don't remember the tree we used to get down? The hole I cut should still be there right?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Fine, I'll show you." I ran to where the tree was, but the hole was gone and when I hit the tree it didn't sound hollow like before. "This can't be right, the tree was right here."

"Are you sure this is the one?"

"Yes! I remember exactly. All the branches are in the same spots and the tree itself is in the same spot."

"They must have filled it when we were sleeping and put a cover on the hole."

"Sasuke said there might be more trees like this, so maybe if we check a few more we can find another."

"Good idea, Tsara." We split up into solo groups and looked around. I found myself drifting towards the doors while checking trees; I tried to go in a different direction, but it was like I was being pulled towards them.

When I got close enough they burst open and Krad swooped in and grabbed me. "Time's up," He said in a partially angry voice. He dragged me down the hall, and in the middle of the hall he used the feather to put me to sleep again.
