Here is ch 28 of beyond bed, bath, and beyond. Or bbbb as I like to call it :3 I hope u enjoy and please be sure to review!
I didn't know what had happened. One minute they guys were about to play fight in the tree house. At least I figured they were play fighting, I mean, seriously? Who would be fighting at a time like this? We had just gotten back together after being apart for so long and we were all stuck in a strange amazing ninja world. Fighting is the last thing we needed. None the less, the boys were play fighting in the tree house when suddenly. BOOM! An explosion. Smoke filled the room and the sounds of metal clashing filled the tree house as furniture was tossed to and fro. I quickly looked around for everyone but the only one I could see was christian, and I could barely see him through the smoke. In an instant a glint of metal slash near him. He put a hand out to block it but the metal made contact and blood sprayed from his hand.
"CHRISTIAN!"I screamed in horror.
He let out a yell then I watched as a piece of furniture hit him in the back of the head and he went down into the smoke.
"they were supposed to not be guarded!" a voice I didn't recognize growled.
"WHAT'S HAPPENING?" I heard sherriah yell from somewhere in the room.
"get the target then get out!" another voice I didn't recognize called out over the noise. There was another flash of metal and a grunt.
"WHO'S THERE?" sara yelled from somewhere.
"SHOW YOURSELF DAMN IT!" pippin demanded from across the room.
Flashes of metal clashing made their way around the room. I felt something fly close to my face then something bumped into me from behind, making me fall to the floor with a yelp. I hit the ground on my hands and looked up and around but could only see shifting smoke. Then I looked forward to see cc lying unconscious on the ground. My eyes grew wide and I lifted myself up off of the ground.
I moved to run over to him when I was hit hard in the stomach with something heavy. I let out an "oof!" and dropped to the floor again. I curled around my wounded tummy as a voice yelled from over me.
"TAKE THAT ASS WIPE!"
I groaned and replied.
"s-sara…it's me…."
I looked up to see her trying to wave away the smoke as she looked down. She finally found me then cursed,quickly apologized, and helped me up. I quickly moved us over beside Christian to make sure he was alright. When I was sure he was fine we tried to look through the smoke for sherriah and pippin. Through the clangs of metal on metal we heard a scream.
"PIPPIN!"
We heard a struggle and someone let out a muffled yell. More thrashing. We moved through the thick smoke to where we heard the yell.
"LET HIM GO!" sherriah screamed.
"damned brat!"
A crash. Then everything went silent
We froze then quickly rushed over to where we had heard sherriah.
"sherriah?" Sara called out as we stumbled through the smoke.
"over here…" she called back.
"are you okay?" I asked, the worry obvious in my voice.
"I'm okay…but pippin…"
The smoke was starting the thin ever so slightly and we were finally able to see sherriah's silhouette. We moved over to her and huddled together, looking in all directions for any danger. Suddenly there was a groan and cough coming from the floor. Christian had woken up.
"where's pip?" he weakly asked.
That got my attention. I looked around frantically. Pippin was missing.
"He….took him" sherriah said softly.
We stood there for a moment in shocked silence. Suddenly sherriah started running for the door out of the tree house.
"sherriah! Where are you going?" I yelled after her.
"to get help!" she yelled back as she started quickly climbing down the stairs.
"I'm coming with you!" sara yelled and quickly ran after her.
"wait! Guys! We should stick together! What if whoever that was is-"
They were gone. The door slamming shut behind them. I let out a worried whine as I looked at the door, at the destroyed room, then back at the door, torn between if I should chase after them or stay in the tree house. I heard cc let out another groan.
"ooouuuuccchhh" he groaned. I looked down at him to see he was holding his hand close to him as red started to stain his clothes . I shot down to the floor.
"OMG CHRISTIAN ARE YOU OKAY?"
"well…seeing as how my hand is gushing like a geyser and my head is about to explode. No." he replied back, the pain making him a tiny bit irritable.
"what the heck just happened?" he asked as he looked around the room.
" I have no fricken clue…" I replied back honestly "hold on, let me find something to wrap your hand in…"
I quickly looked around for something to use to bandage him up. Luckily I found a torn shred of cloth that was probably from the curtain. Using the only knowledge I knew from watching too many movies and tv shows, I wrapped the bandage tightly around his wound. He winced of course but thankfully I finished quickly.
"can u stand?" I asked as he looked at the bandage.
"I think so…" he said then tried to get up. He wobbled but I caught him.
"yeeeaaahhh, that blow to the head probably isn't helping the walking thing." I said as I helped him stand up straight. He pulled off and started walking towards the door.
"it's ok, I'm good. Lets find sherriah and sara and figure this thing out" he said as he lifted the floor door. I moved to follow him then stopped.
" you go ahead, I need to get something" I said as he paused on the steps.
" ok, be quick, don't want those people coming back"
He started down the stairs and I moved to where the couch laid upside down on the wall. I looked underneath and cursed. My backpack wasn't there.
I quickly started searching around the room for it but it was nowhere to be found.
"capri? Could you please hurry? Because my concussion is making me actually see cartoon birds and stars circling my head" Christian yelled from outside the tree house.
I yelled back that I'd be down in a second. I cursed again and started quickly searching the room a second time. I NEEDED to find my backpack. Finally when I had almost given up hope I saw a black strap peeking out from underneath some debris. I quickly moved over to it and pulled it out. It was my backpack. I let out a "thank goodness" and opened it up. The camera was safe and sound where I had left it. I pulled it out and powered it on, playing the last video I had saved. It was still there. Looking back at the debris I felt my stomach churn. This was my fault. If I hadn't taken that dang video none of this would have happened.
While everyone else was out training, or doing their own things, I was out searching around the village. Yes, I admit, some of it wassome part gaara stalking, but most of it was searching the village for a clue on how we got here and how we get home. Most of the time I was just chasing ghosts until I had seen something I wasn't supposed to on the outside of the village. I recorded it. They must have seen me do it or this probably wouldn't have happened and pippin wouldn't have gotten kidnapped…
I shook myself out of the growing guilt and made my way out of the tree house. I'd show sherriah and sara as soon as we found them. I dropped off of the last step of the ladder and found christian resting his head on his arm on a tree.
"are you sure your ok?"
He just waved his hand in an "I'm fine" manner and pushed off of the tree into a standing position. i paused, making sure he wasn't going to sway and fall to the ground like a ton of bricks but he held his stance.
"I'm…going to text sherriah to see where she went"
He just nodded and rubbed his temples with his good hand. It took a little while before I got a message back.
'meet us at the konoha memorial'
I told christian and we were on our way. The memorial wasn't that far away so it didn't take long to get there. When we arrived we were the only ones there. Before I could suggest messaging her again, sherriah and sara came out of the bushes. They quickly jogged over to us and I could tell they had been running because by the time they got over and stopped they were completely out of breath.
"where did you guys run of to?" I said semi-angrily and being ditched so quickly after an attack. Sherriah replied between pants.
"sorry….we had gone….to find sasuke…since he wasn't near the tree house….neither was….kiba…."
Sara continued.
" we had started….running to his house….and after all that running….sherriah remembered….she had the walkietalkie….and could just call him…"
Sherriah looked at sara who semi-glared back at her.
"sorry about that…." Sherriah turned around to look at the bushes around the clearing. " he should be here…any second"
We waited for a second then sherriah let out a loud sigh between pants and plopped down on the ground so she could catch her breath. Sara crouched down next to her to do the same.
"well, on our end, christian has a concussion and a deeply cut hand." I said nonchalantly.
They looked over at christian who semi-saluted them with his wounded hand.
"aaaaand I have something I really have to show you guys…." I pulled my backpack off of my shoulder as everyone looked at me curiously. "I'm sorry I didn't show it to you guys sooner…"
I took the camera out of my backpack and walked over to sherriah and sara, motioning for christian to follow me over too. I put the camera out in front of us and we all watched the small led screen as I pressed the play button…
