Hinata looked around, "Well, at least the rest of the goons are down."
That moment, all the goons disappeared, replaced by smoke that made the rest of the team start coughing.
"Well, that worked," Yamen said.
"Do you see Kyre anywhere?" Kiba asked looking around.
Naruto turned his head from side to side, 'Uh…no."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive."
"Hinata?"
Hinata shook her head, "She's not in the room."
"Hey, do you think that's the reason her clones disappeared?" Naruto asked.
"No duh, no-brain," Kiba said.
Naruto glared at Kiba angrily, "Why don't you shut your trap Dog Boy?!"
"Naruto-kun!" Hinata shouted.
"You wanna take this outside, Pea-brain?!"
"Kiba-kun!"
"Oh, you are so screwed!" Naruto exclaimed.
"What's wrong with you guys?!" Hinata burst out, "Aren't we supposed to be a team?"
Naruto was stunned. He had never heard Hinata burst out like that before. He hung his head in shame.
"I-I'm sorry Hinata-chan…"
"Sorry, Hinata-chan," Kiba mumbled, looking at the ground in shame.
"We have to find Kyre, so let's keep moving. No more arguments, do you hear me?" Yamen asked.
"Yes sensei," Naruto and Kiba said in unison.
Kyre woke up with a start. As her eyes adjusted to the light, she heard a voice.
"So…you're awake so soon?"
"W-who said that?" she asked into to darkness.
"No one you need to know about. You can call me the Jail Man."
"Where am I?"
"In the most high tech dungeon you'll ever see in your miserable life."
"What am I doing here…?"
"You, my friend, are here for bounty money."
"Bounty hunters?" Kyre asked. She didn't know she was being hunted!
"By a group called the Akatsuki Organization. You'll be out of here by this afternoon," the jail man said with a chuckle.
This afternoon, how long was I out for? She wondered with worry. The rest of the team must be frantic.
The jail man left the room, slamming the metal door behind him so hard that the echo ran though Kyre's head.
"Ow…" she complained under her breath. She tried to cut the chains with chakra, but for some reason she couldn't use her jutsu. She sighed; she would have to do this manually. She pulled at the chains until they were taut and strained her muscles. She was going to have to break the chains loose. Thank god she had enough strength, if she hadn't been a jinchuuriki; she wouldn't have had enough strength to break these iron chains. On the other hand, if she hadn't been a jinchuuriki, she wouldn't have been in this situation in the first place.
She pulled and pulled until she heard a crack in the chains, she pulled more energetically. Then with a snap, the two chains, holding her wrists, broke. She stood up and hit a wall to see if it was weak enough to break through.
"Ow!" she yelled, rubbing her knuckles. She looked up into the seemingly endless tower and saw a small speck of light. A window was up there! She could escape…if she could find a way up the wall…
Then it hit her. She crouched and sprang onto the wall, feet first and projected herself off the wall, going up steadily. After a minute or two, she got to the window and grabbed on tightly to the iron bars.
Oh great, she thought, more iron to break. She ripped the bars out of their base and crawled through ending up on the outside of fort. That was easy…she thought.
Then she was two figures walking up the dirt pathway. She jumped on top of one of the forts tallest towers and watched the two men come closer into view. When she could see every detail of them, she saw that they had black cloaks with red clouds. Akatsuki!
She heard a door open and the jail man walked out.
"Welcome, welcome," he greeted them.
"Is she there?" asked a masked man.
"She's in our most high tech dungeon we've got."
"Show me."
"Yes, sir, this way please," said the jail man, gesturing to the door.
The two men followed the jail man inside and waited for their reaction when they saw she was missing.
"Where is she?!" shouted a muffled voice from the dungeon cell.
"I don't know sir, she was here an hour ago!" the jail man said with fear.
"Oh, shit. Don't tell me she's fucking gone!" said a voice Kyre could only pair with the guy without a shirt.
"Find her," said the masked man.
"Y-yes sir," the jail man sounded like he was trembling.
At that, goons appeared all over the fort, from this way and that, running and shouting out orders to each other.
Kyre watched amused as the goons looked left and right, up and down. They would never spot her.
"Well, hello there, girl," a voice said behind her.
Kyre took a shocked intake of breath and turned around. The man without a shirt was staying in behind of her, grinning.
"So that's where you ran off to," he said, still smiling, "I didn't know you would ever escape here."
Kyre narrowed her eyes, "What do you want?"
"I think that you should know kid."
Kyre glared at the man, "I see…is that how it is?"
She clenched her fist and threw a punch at the man's face.
He caught it with ease, "Oh, aren't you the feisty one?" he asked with a chuckle.
"Shut up!" Kyre yelled and gathered chakra in her captive hand.
"Agh!" the man yelped, letting go of her hand.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"Hidan," he answered.
Kyre grabbed him and threw him down into the court yard.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Hidan complained standing up, "You know I hate this job! Kukuzo, you owe me one!"
"Kukuzo?"
"I don't think I'll have to introduce myself," Kukuzo's voice said from behind.
Kyre spun around punching him with brute strength.
"Geez, this girl really packs a punch!" Hidan said.
"So?" Kukuzo asked.
"I'm just saying it's a waste of a life."
"Do you want to finish our mission or not?"
"Well, ya but still…"
"Then get working!"
"Fine, fine…"
Kyre was confused. Hadn't she just hit them with enough force to break their spines in two? Yet there they were, arguing!
Kukuzu came up behind Kyre and hit her hard in the back, making her hit the ground hard.
"Ow…" Kyre moaned, turning over slowly and getting steadily to her feet. She needed to escape from the place and fast.
Escape, that's it! She thought. She did three hand signs and disappeared, ending up in a forested area. The escape jutsu was useful at times like these.
The only problem was she had no idea where she was. She was close by the fort. She could still hear the shouting of goons through the place.
She ran through the forest at top speed trying to pinpoint where the rest of the team was.
"Let's go look in the forest," Yamen said, "She's not in here, that for sure."
"Hai!" the team responded, running out of the building.
Kiba sniffed, "Whoa! It reeks of goons out here, yuck," he complained twitching his nose in disgust.
"Come on guys," Yamen said, "There's no time to waste."
