Chapter eleven

Surprise!

Eden and Apollo walked into Konoha at around three the next afternoon. Apollo was tired after waking up several time last night to care for Eden and she was just being bitchy the entire morning.

"God! Will you please stop complaining! I can take it anymore!"

Eden smirked. "Doesn't take much to get under your skin now does it?"

Apollo walked ahead of her into a motel.

Eden followed him.

"We're traveling from the Mist and we need a room." Eden told the manager. He went into a back room

Apollo turned to her. "Gonna specify what kind of room, princess?" he asked her sarcastically.

"That's a cute nickname! I'm so going to keep that one!" Apollo just rolled his eyes.

The manager came back. "We have a room but it only has one bed. Is that okay?"

Eden spoke as Apollo opened his mouth.

"That'll be fine thanks." She placed some money on the counter and grabbed the key.

"How is one bed okay?" he asked. As they walked down the hall to their room. She opened the door and threw her stuff down.

"Simple. I get the bed." Apollo raised an eyebrow. "No."

She walked deliberately over to the bed and sat down. Apollo just crossed is arms. "I stayed up all night taking care of you. I want the bed for at least one night." Eden put her nose in the air.

"I don't think so."

"Then we're sharing."

"Oh HELL no." she grabbed some clean clothes and went into the bathroom. He heard the water turn on and he went and laid out on the bed.

He awoke awhile later when she threw cold water on him.

"Sakura told me you did that, but she also told me you gave them a warning." Eden shrugged. "I thought I said something but I must've just thought it." She looked at him innocently. She grabbed his hand. "Lets go! I want to find Sakura."

She dragged him through the town trying to find her. She spotted her coming out of the grocery store.

"SAKURA!!" she shouted jumping up and down drawing, attention to herself. Apollo closed his eyes and covered his face with his hands.

Sakura over and wrapped Eden in a hug.

"Why are you here Eden?! I thought you couldn't run away!"

Eden rubbed the back of her head. "Actually, Dad sent me and Apollo on a mission. Nothing big, just a survey I think."

Sakura grabbed her hand. You guys should come and stay at my house! I have room." Eden smiled. "That would be great."

Eden motioned Apollo over. "You really want to sleep in the bed tonite?" he nodded.

"Sign us out of that motel, we are staying at Sakura's!" she gave him the address then she and Sakura walked to the house.

Once there, Eden began asking questions.

"So how are things? Who have you met? Are there hot guys here?"

Sakura smiled. "Good, I've met several people and yes there are some hot guys here."

Eden wiggled her eyebrows. "So have you met anyone yet?"

Sakura pondered that a moment. "Possibly but he scares me sometimes. He gets so dark and angry easily. He is one of the few still left from the Uchiha massacre."

Eden's jaw dropped. "Did you say Uchiha? Is his name Itachi?!"

Sakura shook her head. "Sasuke, his younger brother. The only one he let live." Eden smacked her forehead. "If you were dating Itachi, that would be so weird. He's hot but he made me miserable! Besides he is older than you by like five years."

Sakura raised her eyebrow. "Is Itachi the one that made you afraid of the dark?" Eden nodded.

Sakura began cutting up vegetables and putting them into a pan to stir-fry.

"Could you grab those noodles and drain them please? I want this to be done by the time Apollo gets here."

Eden scoffed. Sakura frowned at her. "I thought you liked him."

Eden looked away. "I do! Its just, we have to go back to Orochimaru and he would never allow it and if he did, he would use it to hurt me later."

Sakura placed her hand on her arm. "Would you rather watch him pass you by?" she asked her quietly. Eden bit her lip. She didn't know how to answer that.

They finished up preparing dinner and sat down. Eden and Sakura looked up when they heard the door open. They heard two people talking.

They got up and went to see who it was.

Eden wiped her face with her hands. "There are two of them?!" she looked at who she thought was Apollo but she wasn't sure.

"I'm Adonis. Apollo's twin brother." The one she thought was Apollo said.

She closed her eyes. "How am I supposed to tell which ones which?!" she cried.

"Well, I'm not as, uh, forward as Adonis, you'll be able to tell who is who after spending time with us both."

Adonis smirked. "that I can handle, who wouldn't want to spend time with two beautiful girls?" Sakura rolled her eyes and Eden sat down at her seat.

The guys sat too.

"So Adonis, how did your last mission go?" Sakura asked. He shrugged. "Could've been better, but we finished them, Sai got injured but he's fine, Tsunade healed him."

Eden picked at her food while the others talked. She stood up quietly and left the room.

She walked to the town. She smiled as she saw a young boy run up to his mother. She wanted a family and she wanted to be able to do so with who she chose.

She bumped into a surly young man about the same age as Kabuto. He glared at her and she hurried off. Eden walked into the corner bookstore. "Excuse me, but underage kids aren't allowed in here." The store manager told her. She looked at him boredly. "how would you know if I was underage? I'm nineteen, I think that's adult age." The store clerk shook his head but left her alone.

She grabbed Make-out Violence and Make-out Paradise, one and two.

"That will be $45 please." She handed the clerk her money and walked out. She continued her exploration but it was cut short when the man from earlier walked into her path.

Shit! What the fuck does he want?! She asked herself as she tried to walk past him but he blocked her path.

Please tell me I can on more than a two-day streak without being beaten or worse!

"Can I help you?" she asked sarcastically. He just stood there, in her way. She started backing up when she bumped into another person. Equally scary guy. "I see you guys are having a party, well I hate to be in the way so I'll be on my way." She tried to get away but the first guy grabbed her shirtfront.

"We want you to be with us during our little get together." He told her. She tapped her chin. "I have a problem with commitment, is there a possibility I can get out of this one?" the second guy stepped up closer to her, uncomfortably close to her. "Don't think so, we have a feeling you wont be able to keep quiet when we get to you."

Eden rolled her eyes. "Look, as, uh, fascinating as this sounds. I have places to be." She yanked her shirt away. The first guy smiled discreetly. "Oh that's ok, we'll be seeing you later then." He nodded for his friend to follow. Eden looked around surprised. Wow, maybe I can go for a longer streak! She did a small victory dance in her head.

She walked back to Sakura's house, not noticing the chakra signals of those following her.

Apollo met her at the door.

"You know, if your going to leave, you could at least tell someone."

Eden yawned. "I could care less besides you saw me leave the table, or maybe it was your brother. I really don't know." She stepped inside and went to her room. Apollo looked outside. He could've sworn he felt an unfamiliar chakra in the shadows.

About two days later Eden ended up sleeping in, and Apollo decided to just go by himself. Sakura walked into Eden's room.

"Hey, I'm going to work now, I'll be at the Hokage tower if you need me and Apollo and Adonis went to training ground four."

Eden waved her hand to show she heard. Sakura walked out of the door and to town.

Few hours later Eden finally got up. she felt sick and could barely get up. she didn't even put normal clothes on.

She walked to the kitchen and pulled out some orange juice. As she was pouring a glass, a familiar chakra washed over her. Oh god, they're back!

She took off for her room, but her first attacker walk out from inside her room. She ran the other way but as she passed Sakura's room the second attacker grabbed her and dragged her in.

He held her arms behind her as the first guy walked in. he smirked. "Told you we'd see you again."

"You can call me Haru and my associate, Nari."

Eden growled. "What the fuck do you want? All I did was accidentally run into you the other day." She told him. Haru smiled darkly and signaled to his partner.

"My friends are going to be back soon, you should leave while you can." She told him. He made her watch as his friend disappeared. "Actually your friends are busy. And he's going top keep an eye out for me." He said quietly. She backed towards the door and he disappeared too, she was still backing up when she backed into him. "Fuck!" she cried as she ducked away from him. He kept disappearing in front of her and reappearing behind her. She fell down and was crawling away and he was over her quickly.

Eden punched him. He grabbed his jaw and growled. She jumped onto the bed and stood there. He was standing and quickly lunged at her.

He tackled her. She screamed as the air was forced from her. She was shocked and couldn't breathe and he took advantage of her weakened state. He pulled her shirt over head. He was able to get bigger and bigger breathes but he had already thought about that he pinned her arms down at her sides. He leaned down and bit at her neck. Eden freaked. "No! I am not going through this again!" she kicked at him but he just hissed and continued his little twisted game.

She screamed loud.

Apollo had left early from the training field and was just outside the house when he heard Eden scream.

The chakra he had felt earlier that week was back.

He burst into the house and looked around. He didn't see her so he began looking around. He heard her shriek and he busted into Sakura's room and pulled the guy off of her.

Eden was bleeding from her neck. She put pressure on it and stood up. Apollo threw the guy out of the house.

"What the fuck! Just kill him! He'll come back!" she shrieked at him. Apollo pushed her into the house and sat her down.

"I'm not going to kill him and you're not leaving my sight for the rest of time we are here." He dabbed at her neck with a rag.

She hissed in pain. "You know, I think you just wait til my shirt is off before you decide to save me."

Apollo rolled his eyes. "Want me to wait until your pants are off too?" Eden smiled. "I just got away from one sex crazed guy, please watch yourself. I don't want to hurt you."

Apollo put his face really close to hers. "I just saved you. Let's not get ahead of ourselves."

She laughed. "I can tell that you are Apollo. Your eyes are green and Adonis's are more gray."

Apollo wanted to kiss her but he knew that would be a bad idea. Still the thought was appealing…

Come on, you know you want to.

What the fuck! No I don't!

Yes you do, don't lie to yourself… me in particular. I've seen your thoughts.

Hey! those were clean. Most of them…

Leaving.

See you in your next thoughts.

Apollo forced himself to stand up. he tossed her a shirt. "You should get some real clothes on." He told her.

Eden pulled the shirt over her head. She walked back to her room. She pulled on a black skirt with a red dragon swirling around on it and a red tank top.

She walked out and Apollo was reading one of her books. He spoke to her with out looking up. "you know when you wear skirts, that provides easy access." Eden put her hand on her hip. "Stop talking. Really. You guys get so smug when you rescue someone."

Apollo handed her book to her. "You know that's all porn. Not joking. It even has pictures."

Eden smirked. "Yes, I know. Your point?" Apollo shook his head. "Nothing really, just thought I'd point that out to you."

She walked back into the kitchen and made a sandwich. She came out and sat down with her sandwich and book. Adonis and Sakura came home about then.

"You guys just missed all the excitement." Apollo said as the sat down with them. "It would seem Eden made friends while she was out the other night."

Sakura rolled her eyes. "What did you wear to town?" she asked Eden. She shrugged. "I think I wore my hooker apparel but I'm not sure." She said sarcastically. Adonis laughed. "I think I saw you there."

Eden punched him. He winced and rubbed his shoulder.

"I was wearing my green and black outfit." Apollo covered his face, Sakura shook her head, and Adonis was just confused. "Green outfit?"

Sakura suppressed a smile. "It's like the outfit she's wearing now." Adonis looked her over.

"Yes, I can see it now." Apollo threw a pillow at him. "Cool off Adonis." He just winked at Eden.

Sakura and Eden went into the kitchen to prepare for lunch.
