Naruto felt the presence at Temari walked away. While Shikamaru was a little dazed. Naruto spun round to Hinata, or spun round to where Hinata was. Naruto's eyes frantically scanned the area, left and right, no one was there. He raised an eyebrow, he knew Hinata was not the sort of person who would disappear.
A mistake on Naruto. He grabbed Shikamaru's shoulder to turn him round to where Hinata was. He asked if Shikamaru had seen her, but obviously the reply was no. Naruto raised an invisible eyebrow this time, still wondering where she went. Shikamaru sighed and joked if he had done anything bad to her. Naruto gave silence, whatever that meant.
Shikamaru turned back to Temari, or where Temari was. Shikamaru wondered if Temari would move that quickly, even so, he would have known wouldn't he? Naruto and Shikamaru stood there, confused and dazed. People don't go missing all of a sudden, right? Shikamaru squatted down and formed a diamond shape with his hands.
"You don't need to do that Shikamaru-kun."
Shikamaru looked up to see Ino and Sakura in their black bandit outfits. They carried no emotions, as Shikamaru calmly got up. They both smiled at them pleadingly with a hint of seduction. Naruto and Shikamaru were no longer affected by these, come to think of it, they were never affected.
The girls whispered something as Naruto widened his stance slightly, and bent down, preparing for a fight. Shikamaru on the other hand, was calmly observing things, reckless actions like what Naruto would do would result in a worse conclusion. He placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder to calm him down, but Naruto just whacked it away.
"Me and Sakura have decided Shikamaru-kun."
"..."
"Well, we will ensure Temari's safety, and of course Hinata's, if both of you follow a special condition."
"..."
"Is it, a deal..?"
"What condition?" Shikamaru spoke with a hint of anger, after listening to everything they said.
"Why can't you think of the worst thing we could do to you Shikamaru-kun?"
"You bastards..."
Naruto's voice was soft, but clearly heard by the three. He raised his head in anger, eyes much different than the calm blue ones people were used to seeing. From the side view, Shikamaru barely saw a different, but he could tell the aura he was giving out was intense.
Sakura was shocked and afraid of the aura, and not only that, the glare was more than a glare, the eyes meant death. Even though Ino avoided contact with his eyes, her insides were trembling with fear. The fear the Kyuubi gave to them was indescribable, but then again, that was the description of the fear. Indescribable.
Naruto raised a fist at them, and demanded the location of Hinata and Temari. SakIno stood there, momentarily paralysed by the fear that was in their hearts. Naruto demanded once more, with a more deep voice he never knew he had. Shikamaru, at this point of time was also a little terrified by the growls Naruto made.
Sakura stood up right slowly, but unsteadily. She gulped down her fear, but that was not enough, her body was still trembling. She opened her mouth to speak, but Naruto was still in rage as he demanded one more time, scaring Sakura even more. She breathed in and out, until she dared to look straight into the eyes of the Kyuubi.
"Hi-Hi-Hinata i-i-is safe w-with u-us, s-s-so is Tem-Tem-Tema-ri."
"WHERE ARE THEY?" The sudden rage from Naruto made everyone flinch.
"W-We wi-will te-tell you i-i-if you fo-follow ou-our con-condi-conditions."
Naruto growled loudly and gave Sakura a death glare much stronger than Gaara's.(sorry Gaara fans xD)Sakura repeated her answer, maybe still unaware of the situation, or she was stupidly confident of her position. Naruto glared at her, but did not move, still unsure to attack her or not.
Sakura felt more relieved when receiving no answer and repeated her answer, but this time, without a single stutter. Naruto clenched his fist tighter and tighter, until he could clench them no more. With a single sigh, the tension in his muscles let go, and he closed his eyes for a moment, subduing the Kyuubi's power.
When Naruto raised his eyelids again, his eyes turned back to normal, giving Sakura and Ino a sigh of relief, but Naruto was still angry. Shikamaru felt Naruto's aura subsiding away, knowing that meant Naruto did had some sense not to put Hinata or Temari in any life-threatening situations. Naruto looked down, thinking of his next step, but it was Shikamaru who took the initiative.
"Whats the conditions?"
"I knew you would listen Shikamaru-kun!"
"Urusai! Don't call me Shikamaru-kun again Ino! Whats the conditions?"
Ino was taken aback by Shikamaru's non-bored reply, instead, this had a firm anger in it. Ino gasped silently, she too thought of the next step. Sakura turned her head towards Ino, and raised and eyebrow. Ino nodded, as she turned back towards Shikamaru and Naruto.
"We will ensure their safety, if..." There was a slight pause where the wind blew past them.
"You marry us and never meet them again."
The two boys widened their eyes in shock. They just got married today and they were threatened to marry someone else? They exchanged looks but got nothing out of each other. They looked towards SakIno, who seemed to be proud that they had stumped both of them.
"Let us see them." Shikamaru said, breaking the silence.
"Anything for you Shikamaru-k-"
Ino shut herself up before angering Shikamaru again. The girls winked at each other as they turned around and beckoned them to follow. With no other choices left, The boys followed SakIno helplessly.
It was about 2 hours later did they see their destination. A small hut hidden in trees. They stepping in and asked where was Temari and Hinata, worry filled their voices. Sakura gave them a reassuring smile they were alright, but they wouldn't take it. Sakura turned to Ino as she unlocked a hidden trap door, and they descended into the darkness.
Torches lit one by one as the four journeyed through the tunnels. The tunnel was winding with sudden turns, the walk was long, but they probably only walked a few metres forward due to the winding paths. They kept walking until they saw a latched door, and stared at it in anticipation.
Ino drew out a key from her pocket and unlatched it. The door creaked open, with rays of light bursting out, causing Naruto and Shikamaru to cover their eyes, but both girls ignored their pain and went in first. After their eyes got used to it, they removed their arms and went in.
The first thing they saw was Hinata and Temari hanging over spikes, filled with acid. They were unconscious for the moment. Naruto tried to make a move to save Hinata, but was blocked by Sakura. He was about to punch Sakura away when Shikamaru held him back, pointing to where Ino was standing.
Ino's hand rested on a lever, which connected to the rope Hinata and Temari was tied on. Naruto released his anger in his arm and let it fall to his side. Ino then did something with the lever and ran towards Sakura. Shikamaru took a good look at the leaver, now covered with a seal, probably when activated, will release the rope. He cursed to himself as he concentrated back on the current scenario.
"So they are perfectly fine, now. That means you will have to marry us and LOVE us, forget about them.."
Naruto and Shikamaru flinched when they emphasized on 'love'. Naruto restrained himself from replying and looked at Shikamaru, expecting him to come up with a solution. Shikamaru obviously felt uneasy with someone staring at him, whats more, a simple seal could kill Temari and Hinata. Inside him, his heart and mind were throbbing at a rapid pace.
If he tried to concentrate, by instincts he would form the diamond-like shape with his hand, causing Ino, to immediately know what he was trying to do. On the other hand, if he kept silent for too long, they would just threaten both of the boys that they would kill Hinata and Temari. Ino was disturbed by the long silence as that meant Shikamaru was thinking, and was about to speak. But Shikamaru stole her part.
"If we say no?"
"Then your wives, will die."
Once again, Naruto restrained himself from getting into rage or speaking back. There was no way he would put Hinata on the line. He breathed in heavily, calming himself down.
"But if we say no, our wives die, you still don't get us."
"But you wouldn't let your wives die would you now?"
"But by doing so, me and Naruto...will confirm your death."
Ino opened her mouth for a comeback, but closed it again. Sakura was speechless at Shikamaru's answer. They girls knew how powerful the boys were. Sakura also knew, for the past few years she watched Naruto, he was a much better ninja than anyone else she knew. With Ino loss of words, Sakura took the stand.
"Your wives will die, don't you mind?"
"Your lives will disappear, don't you mind?"
"What if I kill them now?"
"What if we kill you now?"
"Would you risk your wife's lives?"
"Would you risk your own?"
"I may."
"Same here."
Sakura could no longer keep it up. Shikamaru's witty words stumped her every single time, Sakura, even though was one of the smartest girls, could not beat the smartest boy, with an IQ of over 200. She bit her lip and exchanged looks with Ino. Their plan was not going correctly. Ino sighed, and gave her a glare, somehow, Sakura understood.
"Well...We wanted to do this to Sasuke, but failed."
The two boys went into battle stance.
"If we can't have you, NOBODY CAN."
Naruto and Shikamaru widened their eyes as darts from both sides shot, even with Naruto taking out his kunai to defend most of them, none of them had time to perform seals, which made them useless. After a few seconds, the darts had hit both of them in quite a lot of places. The wave stopped shortly after the dart's poison injected into them. Visions became blurry, body became weak, within 10 seconds, the 2 male ninjas fell...
A/N : I made this quite long, hope you like it. Well I really love your reviews saying its one of the best stories you've read so far etc. I feel so touched. Weekends rock, they allow me to write so much! Sequel coming soon! Unless of course, you got suggestions. No crazy suggestions like 'Make Sakura love Ino!'. -.- Also if you want a specific story, you can put it in your review, and I would gladly consider it, e.g 'Make a Gaara fanfic!'. Of course I can do that, but no one had reviewed that yet, so yea. Review please! I just want to know how good/bad I am!
