Well, yet another day for drama and love. I wonder what will happen?
I sat on my lumpy bed (surprised I actually had one) and stared at the door. My fists were bleeding and my feet hurt from trying to bust it open. It was two days later and I still hadn't seen a sign from anyone trying to visit. No doorknob wiggle, no talking, not even shadows under the door. I was in complete silence.
Until, the next day, the door opened while I was asleep. One of Tsunade's knights entered the room and put shackles on me gently, so as not to wake me, then pulled me from the bed. I landed on my side and my eyes flew open. I rolled out of instinct and stood, staring at the man who had entered. It was a very pissed-looking Kiba.
"Nice eye." I commented, talking about his bruised eye. He glared at me.
"Your sister is a bitch." I smirked and told myself to hug her later. That is, if I ever saw her again. "Tsunade's ready to deal with you." He grabbed me by the shackles and lead me to the ornate thrown room. The large doors were already open and my heart began fluttering. Oh God, oh God. Kiba shut the doors behind us and pushed me forward. Since my hands were cuffed behind my back I couldn't use them to break my fall. I landed face first and felt my nose break. Blood began pouring down my face and I winced, looking up. Tsunade was sitting in her throne, tapping her chin with a red nail.
"Ukime, it has been a while. How was Gaara treating you?"
"Better than you." I said. You know what? I was going to talk back. I was already screwed anyway. Her lip twitched and she stood, clicking towards me.
"I heard of your romance. Charming, really." She said. She knelt in front of me. "I just didn't hear with who. Care to share that?" I glared at her and kept my mouth shut. She sighed and stood up, snapping her elegant fingers and clicking back to her throne. "Fine, we'll find out the hard way." Kiba grabbed me and hauled me to my feet, steadying me before letting go.
Two knights I had never seen and Sasuke lead three men in with no shirts and bags over their heads. Their wrists were tied and I had a feeling I knew what was going to happen. The three knights hung the three men from hooks on the wall by their ropes, face to me.
"These are the three traitors who helped you escape." Tsunade said with slight amusement. "I think you will recognize them. Mr. Lee, Mr. Uzumaki, and Mr. Hyuga." Each of their bags was removed in turn and all of their eyes were closed.
"What have you done to them?" I asked.
"Just drugged them. Don't worry. I won't be killing them. Not yet. I still need them. Now," She said, standing up and walking towards them slowly. I noticed she was holding a menacing looking whip with barbs on the end. Oh no... "One of these men has a little crush on you, that is why he helped you escape. Was it Rock Lee?" She asked, standing beside him. I stayed silent. "Hm... Naruto?" She approached him and tapped his shoulder. Again, silence. "So it must be Neji." She stood beside him and I kept my mouth shut. "Cute. Well," She looked at the three of them. "We'll just have to find out." She unrolled the whip and approached Lee, whipping him on the chest. I heard a little whine and my eyes began to water.
"They're still awake!" I said, rushing forward. Kiba grabbed my shackles and yanked me backwards. I landed on my butt and stared in horror as she whipped Lee repeatedly. "Stop! Lee doesn't deserve this!" Tsunade looked at me and smiled.
"I knew it was him." Tsunade looked at one of the unfamiliar knights and Sasuke and nodded. They nodded back and approached Lee and Naruto, taking them off the wall and removing them from the room. "It was either Lee or Hyuga. Uzumaki has an infatuation with the little Hyuga girl, so it wasn't him." Tsunade approached Neji and tilted his head back, so his head stayed up, and opened his eyes. He stared at me blankly, but I knew he was awake. "Looks like you weren't as hard to crack as I previously thought." She smiled at me before whipping him the first time. I teared up more and stood, running. When Kiba went for my shackles I turned and kicked him hard in the groin. He grunted and fell down, giving me time to run. I ran and stood in front of Neji, in time to receive a painful lashing. Tsunade sighed and put her hand on her hip.
"Don't worry, you'll have your turn. Now move." She grabbed me by my shoulder and shoved me backwards. I landed on my back and Kiba stepped on my chest, small tears in his eyes. Good. Bastard.
Kiba had what was coming to him. Review to give Tsunade what is coming to her!
