Chapter XXV
Finally the girls are saved! Out of the kidnappers claws.

It was cold… and dark where Nariko was. All her body hurt, and she was losing her hope. They wouldn't find her unless she gave them a hint.
Her wolves could understand animals so she had to send some kind of message. A quick message.
But her chains were heavy, and her body energy was drained. She had to rest. Letting herself fall to the ground she closed her eyes, trying to rest.

Yuki pulled the sheets closer to her body. It was a terrible thing she was doing, but he deserved it. The only problem was Tsubasa. He was annoying, always loud, complaining about the same stuff… boring!
She sighed when he threw his arm around her. It was boring and affectionate… just like every other guy.
She missed Itachi… the hard sex and the arguments… the rollercoaster of emotions.
Leaving Tsubasa's side she prayed Itachi came fast. She missed her lover, but of course she would never admit it.

Itachi sensed she was near, but he couldn't find the damn hideout… he'd need a clue!

Kakashi felt the same way. Leading the team of Shikamaru and Sakura, they searched for hours… and not even a clue.
Then, as if it heard Kakashi thoughts a wild vine grew, at an amazing speed. Kakashi now knew where to go, there was a cave entrance close.

Takuya pulled Nariko into the main room while she fought useless against his will.
"Stop it. Those chains keep your chakra low… you won't be able to fight back. " Takuya explained before calling his brother.
"So… we kill her?" Tsubasa asked, poking Nariko's ribs.
"WHAT?" She said, starting to be scared.
"You didn't came to my bed, you are useless." Takuya explained, and Tsubasa took his swords.
She was going to die.
"I told you, your lover won't come…" Takuya said, and she flinched.
She never expected to die alone, without Kakashi near her.
"I wouldn't be so sure of that 'lover won't be here' bullshit." Kakashi said, coming into sight.
Nariko's eyes glowed with happiness. She was saved!
Kakashi started to fight, while Shikamaru and Sakura released Nariko from her chains.
"Thank you! Sakura give me the soldier pills please." Nariko asked, looking at the pink haired girl.
"You are too weak… and you don't have enough chakra either!" Sakura countered.
"Sakura…" Nariko saw Kakashi fighting both of the rock brothers "Do as I say and give me the pills."
Shikamaru nodded and Sakura gave her the pills.
"If something goes wrong… both of you leave." Nariko instructed, taking the pills and getting up.
She walked to Tsubasa, kicking him, gaining his attention and trying to get his swords.
"They'll make you kill yourself from a chakra overload. But if you want them… have them!" Tsubasa threw his swords at Nariko and his brother yelled, unpleased.
"You just gave her chakra you stupid piece of shit!" Takuya growled, worried.
Nariko caught the swords, and let go of them when her chakra was full.
She smirked… it was her payback. Yelling at Shikamaru to immobilize Takuya she threw a light bomb, and when he was trapped she summoned her swords.
"Takuya… you'll never understand… but they'd never leave me behind."
"Just because you are powerful… And a bitch. They are weak and a bunch of stupid fuckers!" Takuya answered coldly.
Nariko smirked darkly before going for the kill. Yes she was killing him… for all the pain, the emotional worries and the fear she felt.
Besides… he was a criminal. She ran to his direction, swords crossed, dangerous. He tried to move away but she swiftly moved her swords, and he died. Her swords were twisted enough to explain his open chest. No survivor possible. That was what Nariko wanted for him.
Kakashi finished Chidori on Tsubasa, and he was laying unconscious on the floor.
It was the end, and Nariko knew it when she collapsed to the floor, tired.
Kakashi grabbed her and carried her outside, to meet Itachi, focused on getting to the entrance. They ignored each other: they were worried with different things.

Itachi found Yuki on the floor. Apparently she passed out from being drugged. Worried he held her body close to his, he had to take her to Kakuzu… he was the best doctor available. And he had to make sure she saw him first. She had one of the brothers scent… and he wanted it out.

Nariko woke up in the hospital once more. Sakura was healing her and Kakashi was by her side, his head on his hands.
"Hey guys."
Sakura jumped back scared, while Kakashi looked up, relieved.
"Don't do that again Nariko!" He scolded her.
She sighed, looking at Sakura, but instead of helping, the girl contributed to her pain.
"Kakashi-sensei is right… you could have died." The girl said worried.
"I'm alive so you shouldn't worry!" Nariko got up slowly, testing her strength.
"You should rest." Kakashi advised.
"And you should stop bringing porn into hospitals." She pointed to his book "I'll rest at home… promise."
She walked away and he followed. She would never believe the pain she put him through.
