"Hello! Hello?" Ran's voice sounded through the receiver as Sakura kicked the bloody corpse away and picked up the walkie-talkie. She stared at it for a minute with disgust in her face.
She cleared her throat and made her voice go deeper (so that it may sound like a man).
"Hello? Lady Casablanca?" she said. There was a moment of silence and it took a while before Ran answered back.
"What happened to your voice Phoenix?"
'So this man's code name is Phoenix…? Tch. Pathetic. He could've used another more… manly name. Phoenix joined with a man sounds gay (no offense).'
Sakura gave out a fake cough.
"I've got a cough Lady Casablanca and it seems it irritated my throat." Sakura replied in a sick tone. "This cough is serious."
"Well, since when did you get the cough?"
"Just yesterday."
"But I didn't hear you coughing yesterday." Ran said coolly. "Well?"
"I was trying to hold back my cough so that I may speak well to you. But it seems it got worse… anyway, we have already taken care of Haruno, Lady Casablanca. What do you want me to do with her?" She replied in a serious tone.
"What did you do to her?"
"Hmm… a little bit of… let's see… rape and torture?" She replied, trying to put some amusement in her tone while staring at the corpse.
"That's good. Is she able to stand?"
"Nope."
"That's excellent!" Ran replied with delight. "Bring her… body to the yacht and send her to me. The others are already waiting there. Then deliver her to my house so that she may be too weak to fight. Don't give her anything. Food and water… nothing."
"Yes Lady Casablanca. Is the yacht waiting in the harbor already?"
"Yes." Ran replied.
"She'll be there by tomorrow or so Lady Casablanca." Sakura replied then turned the walkie-talkie off. "Yeah right."
And she threw the walkie-talkie over her shoulders (hitting the corpse's head… poor guy) and left the warehouse while trying to fix her clothing. She wondered how many men were at the yacht. But she knew it would be easy. She'll just have to let one of them survive.
While at the Hyuuga Estate…
"Oh my God… what happened to her?" Setsuko asked worriedly while holding her husband's hand for comfort. Neji was now walking back and forth with his hands on his pockets. Sasuke was rubbing his temples while Shikamaru was still deep in thought. Naruto was now hugging a throw pillow.
"Damn." Neji muttered. "I hope she's okay."
RING! RING! RING!
Everyone snapped up as Neji pulled out his cell phone and noticed that it was Sakura's number. A weight immediately lifted from his heart and answered it.
"Sakura?"
When everyone heard the name, they became extremely attentive to the Hyuuga.
"Neji? How are you and the guys?" Sakura replied, and Neji could tell by the voice that she was smiling. "Is Naruto still shaking to death?"
"Sakura, how are you? Where are you? What happened to the culprit? Do you know who the master mind is? Did you find the three?" Neji asked a barrage of questions. Sakura gave out a low whistle.
"Easy there. I'm fine Neji. Perfectly fine. I was able to gather information and Shikamaru's speculation is right. Ran is the master mind."
"Damn her!"
"Calm down. But I didn't find the three but I know where they are."
"So where are they?"
A moment of silence…
"I won't tell you." Sakura replied roughly. Neji felt frustrated.
"Why not?"
"Because, knowing you… if you'd know the location, you'll follow me and maybe Ran would find out. It's not that I'm thinking that you're clumsy or anything but here's a clue, it's an island. She can monitor everything that's happening there and you would be easily spotted."
"Are you saying that you're going there ALONE?" Neji asked, gritting his teeth. "Damn Sakura! Why do you always push people aside when they try to help you?"
Sakura smirked.
"Because I don't want people to get hurt because of me. I love you Neji."
And she hung up.
"Sakura? Sakura?" Neji yelled. He stared at his cell phone in annoyance and pocketed it. Setsuko stood up and approached the fuming Hyuuga.
"How is she Neji?"
----
Sakura frowned as she placed her cell phone in silent mode (in case) and pocketed it. She then carefully tried to find the only yacht in the harbor and after twenty minutes of searching, she was able to find it. The yacht wasn't that big, and there was the Crimson Gang's emblem on the side.
'Could Ran be any stupider or what?'
She smirked when she saw a cluster of people talking to each other confidently. Those fools.
Sakura pulled out ten needles and smiled.
"I haven't been in this much action since I was a little kid." Sakura murmured to herself while inching closer to the yacht. "And I think I'm going to enjoy this one."
She neared the yacht and estimated the visible people.
Ten.
'There must be more inside. Need more needles.'
She smiled inwardly then threw the first five to the farthest people.
"Five down. Five to go."
As expected, the remaining people started panicking as Sakura zoomed towards the yacht because she could save more needles if she would use the short range combat technique.
"What happened!" One of them yelled.
"He's dead…!"
"Who threw them? Check the area!"
"No need for that." Sakura said coolly.
"What! Who said that!" The man with green hair and the others looked around. "Who's there!"
"Look up idiots."
They looked up and much to their horror, Sakura was like a spider, crouching (in an upside-down manner) while her hair was hanging down. She was holding on to a needle that was pierced unto the roof. It was strong enough to hold her.
"Boo."
And five minutes later, they were all dead. (Wohoo! Go Sakura! Go Sakura! Hell yeah!)
She pulled out a hand kerchief from her pocket and used it as a barrette to hold her hair. She couldn't fight them with her hair swaying around. Who knows? Maybe they would even have the chance to accidentally cut it!
"Now where are the others?" She mumbled while placing one hand on her waist. She looked up and smiled.
"I'm working from down below to the top."
And she entered the yacht. All she saw was luxurious sofas and a wine bar inside and there was no one. She heard some scrambling and some voices from a room and approached it, needles in hand. She slowly opened the door, careful not to be obvious.
She saw a group of men with their own respective sluts partying inside.
'Could these people get even more pathetic?... Hey, should I kill the women too? I better check out who's the captain here first.'
She went up and saw only two persons. She smiled then went back down, desperate to get this over with. She was frustrated because she wanted to see her friends alive and well again. She swore to herself that she would make Ran pay. She has done enough.
She placed some needles in her mouth and with the door slightly ajar, she threw (or spitted) one by one, hitting the men in their heads. The sluts started to scream.
There, she opened the door.
"Hey."
"Who—Who are you?" One girl with long brown hair yelled. "What did you do to them?"
"You know what? You girls wasted your entire life having sex with random people just to earn money. Do you know the word… persevere? Or work?" Sakura said amusingly while placing a hang on her waist. "Or were you just sluts from the day you were born?"
"Pardon?" And yes, they seemed offended.
"I would give you girls a chance. I'm going to remember each and one of you and if I'd see you still roaming around the streets, convincing men to fuck you, then I would kill you. Work hard and if you'd tell anyone… ANYONE about this, I would also kill you, or your families. Got that?"
"What? Who the hell are you to tell us that?"
"No need to tell you. You're going to find out anyway… Hmmm… I have an idea. We need some employees for one company. Here are the business cards and if you are interested, then contact the number placed there." Sakura gave them a card each. "And they'll be glad to tell you of who I am. Please, for the sake of your pride, do as I say or it'll be your life… I'm just being kind here… okay?"
And the sluts started at her numbly. Sakura gave them a sweet smile.
"You may go!" She said cheerfully. But they didn't move. Instead, the one nearest to her, the brown haired girl became teary eyed.
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Sakura asked.
"Thank you." The girl replied, on a verge of tears as she hugged Sakura. "Thank you! Thank you for this! You don't know how this means to us!"
"What---"
"We were just forced to become like this. We are all orphans and one of the crimson gang's members bought us so that we could become their source for entertainment. If we won't oblige to their requests, they would kill us…"
Sakura was flabbergasted.
"You mean you guys were just acting?"
They all nodded. Sakura smiled.
"I'm happy to help. Now go before you guys get into trouble. I still have some business to do." Sakura said. "Don't ask."
"But how did you kill all of them?" One of them asked.
"Simple. Using my mouth. Now go!"
They smiled and left.
Sakura sighed.
'Well! After all of this killing, I am GLAD to make one good deed! Now! For the captain and his friend…'
She smiled to herself as she hummed while climbing up the stairs. She even washed her bloody hands on the sink and snatched an apple!
'I wonder what kind of apple this is… It's really good.'
She climbed up a small stairs while eating the apple, not caring if they would hear her or not. As expected, their talking voices stopped and Sakura speculated that they were now straining their ears to listen.
"Hey! What's up?" Sakura asked while leaning on the door frame.
The two men instantly snatched their guns and pointed them at her.
"Who—are you?" The captain said. Sakura smiled sweetly as she neared the man next to the captain and twirled her finger on his chest.
"I'm… you know… one of them… and I got kinda bored so I went up here."
"Oh… so you're one of them eh?" The man said, his arm writhing around her waist like a snake. Sakura tried not to crease her face in disgust as she went closer to the man's face. The captain looked queasy.
"What were you girls screaming around earlier?" The captain asked, putting his gun down. Sakura smiled, thinking that these stupid guys fell into her trap. Everything was going WAY too easy and… well, she knew it would be hard when she would reach the island.
"We were just having fun." Sakura replied seductively. "Is it bad when we scream while having fun?"
"Nope." The man whispered in her ear. "Not at all."
Sakura just smiled. The captain looked at his watch.
"What's taking them so long?"
"Hey, do you know what the Haruno girl look like?" The man beside Sakura said. "She said she's pretty…"
"Pretty or not, I want to get this over with." The captain replied dryly. "I wanna go back to my house and take a nice bath."
'Hmph. If you'll still be alive after this.'
Sakura pulled out a needle from her hand and stabbed the man five times in the stomach. The man screamed in agony as he dropped unto the floor with a loud thud as the captain stared at her with horror and instantly pulled out his gun.
"Wha---WHY DID YOU DO THAT!" He screeched, pointing his gun shakily at her.
Sakura smiled.
"Nothing." Sakura said while walking towards him. "Just for fun."
And with a split second, she appeared beside the man and kicked the gun away from his hand. She turned around and caught the gun with her outstretched right hand while her left hand was holding a needle pointing at the man's neck.
"How---How did you do that?" The man whispered horrifyingly.
"Skill." Sakura replied cheerfully. She pocketed the needle and held the gun instead. She pointed it at him, right on his head.
"If you don't want to die, you'll follow my orders. Got that?"
The captain shakily nodded.
"Damn, you crimson guys are SO stupid. Oh, and if you don't know, I'm the one you've been looking for." Sakura said as she followed the man as he walked towards the controls, still pointing the gun at him.
"You mean you're…"
"Yes. I am Haruno Sakura."
"What did you do to the others?" He asked, this time, he tried to calm himself down. "Did you kill them as well?"
"Yup." Sakura replied. "Now lead me to Ran's island."
----
"Damn, where the hell is she?" Neji mumbled to himself while dropping unto the couch. Shikamaru smirked as he pulled out his cell phone and typed something on it. Then, everyone heard some beeping.
"She's on the way to the floating Shiramatsu airport." Shikamaru said, eyeing the cell phone.
"What—how did you know?" Naruto asked, eyeing the cell phone as well. There, they could see a map on the screen and a red dot beeping. The dot was also moving and they could tell that it was Sakura. Sasuke raised an eyebrow.
"Shikamaru, how did you track her?"
"What! Let me see!" Neji pushed Naruto aside and took a glance at the cell phone himself.
"With this." Shikamaru pulled out a small circular thingy with a red beeping particle in the middle. It was small enough to go unnoticed.
"What's that?"
"This is a tracking device developed by a company. I knew this was going to happen so a few minutes before Sakura would leave, I placed it on her. Remember when I 'accidentally' tripped on her earlier when I was walking around?"
"Shikamaru! You're a genius!" Inoshi said.
"But why didn't you tell me before?" Neji yelled. "Here I am almost in the verge of ripping my hair off because of worry and you knew where she is all along?"
"I wanted to know if you're able to control yourself or not." Shikamaru replied grimly. "Feh. It's too troublesome to explain."
"Well then, let's go!" Naruto said, jumping up. Shikamaru shook his head.
"No. When she reaches the island that she's telling us. That's where we go. If we're going to go right now, do you know where the island is huh Naruto? We must know the location first."
"Shikamaru's right Naruto." Sasuke agreed.
"Get the guards and the others ready." Hiashi said on the servants as they bowed and nodded. "I'm going to contact Zaibatsu about this."
"I'm going to contact Zaibatsu myself." Hizashi shook his head. "She's my responsibility and I know he could do something about Ran's father."
And he left.
"Let's get this party started."

A.N.: Wah, took me long enough to finish this one.
