Chapter 11: Appearance of the Sound 4~
Sasuke slightly rocked Sakura until she calmed down. Sakura looked up at him, her cheeks stained with tears and her nose slightly reddened. Sasuke's chest was soaked with tears. She trembled and Sasuke just kissed her on her forehead. Sakura said, mentally berating herself for crying in front of him again, "I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble, Sasuke-kun, I really am. I just--" Sasuke gave her a look that said 'Stop it.' She stopped and Sasuke said, "It's alright, Sakura. Just be quiet." Sakura smiled lightly and sat up and kissed him gently on his cheek. Sasuke gave a small smirk and lied down on the bed, with Sakura's head on his chest and his arm draped over her waist. He could smell the strawberry scented shampoo in her hair and lightly combed his fingers through her soft, long pink locks. He could hear quiet breathing, signifying that Sakura was fast asleep. He soon drifted off.
Ino sat on the edge of her bed. Ino sighed and asked, "Can we just sleep in the bed next to Saku and Sasuke-kun?" Suigetsu raised an eyebrow and said, "Sure, but how come?" Ino said, "I don't think I should sleep far away from Sakura, because I haven't been any help since I've been here. I'm her best girl friend for Kami's sake!" Suigetsu clutched Ino's hands and said, "Alright, come on."
They went in the boys room to see Sasuke and Sakura sleeping peacefully, Sasuke's arm protectively over Sakura's waist and Sakura's hand lying across Sasuke's bare chest. Ino fought back an 'aww' and they got in the queen bed next to them. Suigetsu lied down, shirtless, and Ino lied with her back into his warm chest. Suigetsu put her arm over her body and kissed the crook of her neck. They both fell asleep.
Sasuke woke up, feeling cold, the warmth from the night before, mysteriously absent. He blinked a few times and saw that Sakura was no longer lying beside him. He got out of the bed, the worst case scenario running through his mind. He pulled on a t-shirt and some baggy jeans. He went in the living room to see Karin sitting on the couch watching television with a pleased expression. Sasuke grunted, making Karin look over at him. "Good morning, Sasuke-kun. You look very handsome," she said, blushing lightly and giving him a huge hug. Sasuke pried her hands off and said, his face in its same expressionless facade, "Where is she?" Karin feigned innocence and said, "Where is who? I don't know what you're talking about. But it's just me and you, Sasuke-kun." Sasuke pulled out a kunai and held it close to her jugular. "I don't know who you think you're fooling, but you aren't Karin. Who are you?"
'Karin' poofed and it turned out to be Tayuya. She chuckled, "You're good, Sasuke. So why don't you just drop those 3 bitches and come back with us? You can be the leader under Kabuto-sama, since Orochimaru-sama is long gone." Sasuke narrowed his eyes, "Fuck no. The Sound Four is supposed to be dead. Where are my teammates and I'm not going to ask you again, Tayuya." Tayuya smiled malicously, "Oh, Kidomaru is handling them. Don't worry, Sasuke, they're safe. As long as you agree to come with us. Thanks to Kabuto's jutsu, we're alive and better than ever." Sasuke's eyes blazed with the Sharingan and he sliced her neck, but it was just a clone. "Coward," he muttered angrily. Sasuke dashed out of the building and tried to search for everyone's chakra signals. He bumped into someone and the person fell to the ground. "Goddamnit, watch where--" the person looked up, it was Suigetsu. Sasuke was on guard and said, "Where is everyone else?", getting tired of asking. Suigetsu answered, "Some 6 armed guy took Sakura, Ino and Karin. I tried to follow him, but he put me in some type of genjutsu. I got out a few minutes ago and I started looking for them. And Juugo is nowhere to be found."
Sasuke was seething on the inside, but on the outside, he just grunted and ran towards the forest. Suigetsu shrugged and followed close after him. They ran on until they got to a clearing, completely covered with webs. Suigetsu said, frowning deeply, "What the fuck?" Sasuke looked around and saw a flash of pink hair. He peered closer to see Sakura, covered in silky webs and unconcious. Sasuke had an uneasy feeling in the pit of his stomach. What angered him further was the fact that she was naked, her most private parts covered by the webs. Suigetsu saw Sakura and was shocked. He spotted Ino a little bit to her right and was downright furious. Ino was also nude, covered by spider webs. You could see their faces clearly and their bodies almost as clearly.
They looked over further and saw a little glimpse of bright red hair. Karin was almost completely in a cacoon, her body completely covered and her head just barely showing. The men heard the sound of a man chuckling, snapping them out of their reveries. Sasuke growled deeply in his throat and muttered, "Kidomaru..." Kidomaru grinned, "Ah, so you have come across MY dinner. Well, sorry, you can't have any." Suigetsu's eyes blazed with anger and Sasuke glared darkly.
Ino woke up and fluttered her eyes open. She noticed 3 things. 1. She was attached to a tree, with silk and she couldn't move. 2. She could see Sasuke and Suigetsu, looking downright murderous. And 3. She was naked. She struggled and stopped when she heard whimpering to her right. Her eyes almost popped out of her head when she saw Sakura, unconcious and in pain. Ino was in pain, but it was only mild pain. Ino swallowed, knowing that Sakura was in severe pain. Sakura adruptly started coughing, blood sheeting from her throat. Ino shouted, her voice hoarse, "Su-Suigetsu! Help Sakura!" Ino wanted to rub her burning throat, but her hands were bound to her side. She felt miserable. [Ino's thoughts: And I can only imagine what my hair looks like.] She shuddered.
Suigetsu heard someone calling his name and knew it was Ino. She sounded like she was in trouble. He glanced over at Sasuke and Sasuke nodded. Suigetsu vanished, but Kidomaru didn't even bat an eyelid. [Kidomaru's thoughts: I'll deal with him later.] Kidomaru said, "Uchiha-sama, we just want you to join us. If you do, we won't hurt your girlfriend and her friends." Sasuke snarled, "You won't hurt them either way." Kidomaru sighed impatiently, "We can give you power, Uchiha-sama. Forget about these weaklings." Sasuke crossed his arms, "I'm trying to figure out what the hell you want from me." Kidomaru said, his arms at his side, "It's not about what we want. It's about what you want, Uchiha-sama. That pink-haired girl put up quite a struggle, killing one of our newest members. But in the end, we overpowered her." Sasuke couldn't help but smirk. [Sasuke's thoughts: Sakura is just full of surprises.] Sasuke replied arrogantly, "Why would I want to join a bunch of losers who couldn't defeat a little kunoichi? How pathetic." Kidomaru fought the urge to kill him on the spot. He then said, "Do you want me to show you what we're capable of?"
Suigetsu got to Ino's side and stood on a nearby branch. "I'm gonna help you, Ino-chan, so just hold tight," he said, irritatedly. Ino said hotly, "That bastard, undressing me like that. I'm gonna kick his ass when I get down." Suigetsu was about to cut Ino down and Ino stopped him. "Suigetsu, don't help me, help Sakura, she's really hurt," Ino protested. Suigetsu frowned, "You're hurt too, Ino." Ino furrowed her brows, "Forget about me right now. I'll live. If you don't help her, she won't live." Suigetsu looked at the worried, whining, doe-eyed naked woman. (Suigetsu thought that.) He sighed, "Okay, I'll help Sakura." He kissed her on her cheek and went over to Sakura. He cut the silk with his blade and picked up a naked Sakura. Suigetsu could feel an erection coming, but he just fought it and held her bridal style. Sakura had bruises on her stomach, a gash on her arm and her leg was broken. Suigetsu mused, "Ino was right. She needs medical care." [Suigetsu's thoughts: The medic needs a medic. Ha ha.]
Suigetsu was shocked to see her wounds healing on their own. [ST: She must be unconsciously healing herself.]
Sasuke started using hand signs when Juugo stepped in front of him. Sasuke stopped and looked at him in shock. Juugo said, without turning towards him, "Go help Haruno-chan. I'll handle this sadistic bastard." Sasuke hned and went where Suigetsu was. Kidomaru scoffed, "Okay fine. I have had enough with the interruptions. I'll kill you, then I'll go talk to Uchiha-sama." Juugo got in a defensive stance.
Sasuke got to where Suigetsu was, and Suigetsu was oogling Sakura's body. Sasuke glared and Suigetsu shrugged, "Well, sorry, she's hot." Sasuke took Sakura from Suigetsu and saw that she had no scratches on her. Sasuke gave him a questioning look and Suigetsu explained, "They healed rapidly on their own, I didn't do anything." Sasuke almost smiled. Sakura was perfect in her own way. Sakura flinched as she came to. Suigetsu gave a big grin, "Hey Saku, glad ta see you're okay." Sakura smiled, wincing slightly. "Thanks, Suigetsu-kun," grabbing his hand. Suigetsu scratched the back of his head sheepishly and, "Welcome. Gotta go help Ino-chan, so I'll leave ya here with Sasuke." He went back to where Ino was. Sakura looked at Sasuke, "I'm an idiot. I couldn't even defeat those psycho people." Sasuke gave her a gentle kiss, "I've gotta get you to a safe place so I can help Karin." Sakura shivered when she felt a breeze. She nearly shrieked when she found that she was naked.
"Where are my clothes, Sasuke?" she asked in a panic. Sasuke blushed lightly and frowned, "I have no clue. You were already undressed when we found you," getting madder by the minute. Sakura sensed his rage and said quickly, "I'm a medic, Sasuke and I would be able to tell if I was raped." Sasuke visibly calmed, but was still a little pissed that someone saw his cherry blossom naked. Sakura played with his hair and said calmly, "My leg is sprained. My arm hurts. And I have a headache." Sasuke gave a smirk and said, "Yeah, yeah. I have to help Karin, so Suigetsu is gonna watch you." Sakura frowned and pouted. "I'm not a kid." Sasuke smirked and said, slightly teasing, "No, you're not a kid. You're a vulnerable, naked woman. So stay put." Sakura looked towards the ground, a frown forming on her delicate face. Sasuke furrowed his brows, "What's wrong?" Sakura said, her cheeks puffed out, "I don't want you to leave me." Sasuke's eyes softened and he said gruffly, "I'll be back for you." Sakura sighed softly, "Yeah. Be careful, Sasuke-kun." Sasuke grunted and brought her over to Suigetsu, who had Ino on his back. Ino had on his shirt, but no bottoms.
Sasuke took off his t-shirt and let Sakura put it on. Sakura smiled gratefully, but her eyes held slight sadness. Sasuke made a mental note to cheer her up later. Suigetsu sighed heavily, "Damn. I imagined when I saw Ino naked, we would be in a hot tub, her sitting in my lap while I--" Ino playfully swatted him, "We don't have time for dirty thoughts. Sasuke, go help Karin. I'm not that hurt, they just knocked me out, the cowards. Me and Suigetsu can protect little Saku-chan." Sakura said, her voice full of sarcasm, "Gee thanks, Pig." Ino giggled and sat on the branch. Sasuke set Sakura down and Sakura sat beside Ino. Sasuke instructed, "Make sure she doesn't get kidnapped or hurt." Suigetsu said, "Of course." Sasuke went to where Karin was. Sakura began healing her leg.
Karin was fully inside a cacoon, and the cacoon was starting to eat her alive. Sasuke got her out and saw that Karin had on a bra and panties, which were almost completely torn. He looked away from her body and carried her bridal style. Karin came to and started screaming, flailing her arms. Sasuke growled, "Karin, it's me." Karin stopped moving at the familiar voice.
She saw a handsome face and nearly fainted. "Sa-Sasuke-kun? Is that you?" Karin asked meekly. Sasuke hned and Karin wrapped her arms around his neck, "Sasuke-kun, I was so scared. Those men tried to rape Blondie and me. Pinky was fighting and I think she killed someone. They knocked Blondie out and they...they touched me. Undressed us. But they knocked out Pinky and me. I feel safe in your arms, Sasuke-kun." Sasuke let her words sink in. Then he said, "Karin, I'm going to let Juugo and Suigetsu take you to a different room and watch you. I'll handle Kidomaru." Tayuya appeared out of nowhere.
Tayuya smirked and said, "And who's gonna handle me?"
Sakura poofed behind Tayuya, "I'll handle you." Sasuke's eyes widened a fraction and he said angrily, "Sakura, I told you to stay with Suigetsu." Sakura frowned, "I'm not gonna let you fight them alone. I refuse." Sasuke was about to argue more and Tayuya chuckled, "You aren't gonna stop us, you circus freak." Sakura ignored her, "Sasuke, Juugo already killed the spider boy. This other man wants to fight you. So give Karin to Juugo and we're going to kill them." Sasuke didn't want Sakura to be in danger, but knew she was right. Juugo took Karin and vanished. Sakura got in an offensive stance and said cockily, "Bring it on."
