Chapter 18

As the ninja raced deep into the city following Lori's direction that the GPS app gave her, Lori kept thinking that she saw something again. That same thing in the sky... Shaking her head to clear out those thoughts she got back on task. She knew it was impossible. There was no way. The thought made her cold heart feel like it was cracking, but she couldn't understand why. All she knew was that it kept nagging at her mind like a mosquito in summertime. She couldn't remember anything about this weird thing that her eyes kept seeing.

Looking up at Hahsirama, who was carrying her bridal style as they were jumping roofs and poles, for any indication that she was not going crazy. He didn't look any different than he did when they left. There were no indications of him seeing anything, the only indication there was that he was determined to get Jeri back safely, based on the fire and worry in his eyes. Finally, he noticed the platinum haired girl's eyes on him and smiled softly thinking that she was worried.

"Don't worry Lori, we will get Jeri back I promise." He assured, believing that was the reason Lori was looking at him. Lori blinked. He thought she was worried about Jeri? No.

Locking eyes with the dark skinned Hokage she opens her mouth to speak. "Don't make promises you can't keep." It wasn't an order, it was slightly softer. Like something was nagging at her soul.

All everyone felt was the rushing chill from the cold weather and the wind chill because they were jumping around the city in discrete fashion. Lori's cheeks and nose were a bright red hue from the bitter cold.

Itachi and Shisui share a quick glance with each other, knowing what the other was thinking without having to use the sharingan or speak. Kagami looked towards Tobirama as they jumped another roof. Kagami decided to ask Lori a question.

"Why do you keep looking to that spot in the sky?" Asked a serious, yet curious Kagami as he looked only to see nothing but air and a grey sky because of all the clouds blocking the sun. Lori seemed to look ahead when he asked about this, almost as if she didn't want to talk.

It's just my imagination... But what is this nagging feeling? Curiousity? Or something more...? The platinum haired teen asked herself before being snapped out of her thoughts by Hashirama.

"Lori-chan?" Hashirama's deep voice asked. Her attention snapped to the man holding her firmly, letting her know she was not going to fall. Remembering Tobirama's last threat adding to the fact that this man could drop her to her death she tried to be as polite as possible with her body tensing up not only to brace for impact, but also because she couldn't take heights.

"Yes, Hahsirama...?" Lori breathed deeply not liking the fact that they were not on solid ground.

"Kagami asked you a question." Hahsirama notes and Lori looks to the Uchiha.

"Why did you keep looking in that one spot in the sky?" Kagami asks very patiently noticing that the girl is tense, just like she was expecting something bad to happen or most likely from the height as they were now four stories above the ground and traveling at about 20 mph at least.

Lori hesitates, debating on if she should lie or not, before responding with a calm voice like usual but tinted with her usual pride. "I'm thinking... That's all." Lori somewhat tells the truth. Oh she was thinking so it wasn't a complete lie. Kagami smiled lightly and gave a swift nod as they continued their 'mission'.

"So we are going to save jeri!" Itama cries out scaring the group of ninja as none of them had noticed the young Senju's had tagged along instead of staying at the house.

"Itama! What are you doing here? It's dangerous." Tobirama scolds his younger sibling who frowns.

"Itama go home. We will be back I promise!" Hahsirama orders and Itama nods.

"You better big brother!"


Jeri was currently being held hostage or captive rather, and being hanged in a cage high above the stone cold floor of the warehouse. The cage was currently swinging above a huge cauldron of acid and slowly being lowered.

"What the fucking hell?! Why are you trying to kill me?" Jeri yells angrily at the clowns. The one lowering the cage was standing beside a leaver, watching the cage closely. His lips played into a cold smirk, one fitting for only a murderer of much brutality.

"Why not? It's fun. Seeing their blood, watching the light fade from their eyes. Hearing their screams of agony. It sends shivers down my spine!" Mocked the clown as Jeri's eyes widened in anger and fear. These clowns were psychos.

"Speaking of which... I think it's time I heard your screams."

Jeri closed her eyes tightly. "Their going to kick your ass!"

BOOM!

The smoke cleared to reveal the ninja and Lori still being carried by Hahsirama. Lori's eyes scanned Jeri's face. Her nose was bloody, probably broken. Her body and face was filled with scratches and blood was dripping down her shoulders and temple. Black and blue bruises decorated her face, specifically her left eye and cheek, most likely where one of the clowns had slapped the fire out of her.

Anger filled the ninja's eyes as they assessed the damage done to Jeri from a distance. The clowns had weird symbols that the ninja didn't understand, but Lori sure as hell understood what it was.

"Make one move and she falls into acid!" Calls out one of the clowns attempting to be threatening. Itachi tenses up.

Shisui curses under his breath as he glares defiantly.

Slowly, Hashirama put Lori down onto her feet as she nods and looks up to the contraption keeping the cage suspended a few feet above the acid. A very thick metal chain that seemed a little rusty near the suspending gears...

Next she judges the distance from where they are standing to where Jeri is in the cage. It was about 20 feet. Lori knew for a fact she wasn't fast enough to make it in time, but maybe one of the ninja were. Looking at all of them, they seemed tense. Ready to spring into action at the slightest moment of opportunity. The one she noticed was Itachi.

Tapping him on the shoulder lightly his eyes look to her in question. With Lori's eyes staring at the rusty gears suspending the cage on the chain, Itacui's attention followed and noticed this. Next Lori's eyes went to the ground between the point A and point B. 20 feet, Itachi realized. Itachi lightly elbowed Shisui and a few others and they quickly picked up on the plan.

Hashirama was aware that Lori was silently asking who was the fastest ninja, by her eyeing him and the distance... Locking eyes with the blonde his eyes went to Tobirama on the far side of the group. Lori blinks at Hahsirama.

Lori started to make her way to Tobirama only for a gun to be pointed at her head. A few good ninja, like Hahsirama, Itachi and Shisui tense up considerably as jeri runs at the cage bars and slams herself against it in a fit of rage. "If you fucking shoot her...!" Jeri threatens with her Sharingan eyes alit with anger, while Lori doesn't seem phased in the slightest bit. Lori instead of begging for her life or seeming afraid, smirks a smirk only an Uchiha could pull off.

"If she gets hurt its your head!" Shouts a blue haired woman as she glares coldly at the man in charge of a small Lori.

Lori winced as she felt sharp pain in her temples and held the side of her head in agony. Hahsirama looked down to the blonde who grunted in pain but glared at the clowns before turning her gaze on the caged Jeri. Lori had no idea where that shit came from.

Slowly raising her hands in the air as if asked by a police officer, something she would normally never do. Showing that she was not a threat, and in fact she wasn't. The ninja were. Okay she was a small threat. "I'm not walking forward, I just want to stand by the verschneiten-haarigen esel over there." (Snowy-haired jackass) Lori announces taking a glance at Tobirama who glowers at her slightly because he doesn't know whether she had just insulted him or not. One of the clowns laughed before making their way towards the blonde.

"Hold on there girly, you speak German. You know the salute. Are you a Nazi?" Asks one of the three clowns who has a smirk of enjoyment on his painted lips. Lori blinks. No she was not, and anyone that was smart knew what that salute was for Nazi's, there was a world war for crying out loud! Anyone, could know this!

"Uh..."

"You are, no need to be shy, we love Nazi women. And the perfect example of the Aryain race too..." Lori glares at being called shy and knowing that the guy was wanting nothing but some 'fun', thinking that he was going to get lucky. Lori inwardly laughed at the man's stupidity.

Ariyan? Hah! If only they knew, too bad they will never know my little joke.

"Yeah, your not getting any." Lori quickly states.

"Damnit! it was worth a shot..." mutters the clown as one of the other clowns walks up.

The one who seemed to be the ring learner of the cult grinned at Lori. "You're free to walk around as you please. Your very fiesta too, nicely done by calling the white-haired one a-" Quickly, but calmly asked the man to not translate in German and he nodded in understanding.

"I get it, you just like to keep your language between those who can speak it." Smirks the clowns.

Lori receives strange looks from the ninja as she calmly walks over to Tobirama and tries to get him to bend down to her level. Eventually Lori manages to grab his shirt collar and pulls him to her level, their faces just inches apart. She moves her face closer and Tobirama begins to think that Lori was going to kiss him.

As Lori's face moves closer and closer Tobirama reacts...

"Blondie..." Tobirama mutters with a stern face as usual. Lori smirks knowing that Tobirama is thinking and instead of kissing him like Tobirama thought, she moved her lips to his ear.

"If your the fastest shinobi, when I give the signal you will be able to get the cage away from the cauldron. The gears suspending the chain connected to the cage are rusted and should break with your momentum, got it? And don't call me 'blondie'!"

Whispers Lori as she then leans away from the Second Hokage, letting go of his shirt. Tobirama glares as he doesn't take orders well, except from his elder brother... Sometimes. Hahsirama whines as he wanted Tobirama and Lori to kiss earning a double heated glare from the two stern people.

"Maybe the fellow Nazi woman would like something to drink?" Suggests one of the clowns closer to her height and, judging by his build he was about the same age came into the room with a bottle of what looked to be either German wine or some other kind of liquor.

"Then I'll get this done so we can party!" The clown by the lever for the cage responds joyously.

"Wait." Lori says just as the clown was going to pull down the lever to have Jeri fall into a pit of acid. "Let me do it." The evil bastard smirks as he motions for Lori.

"Lori!" Shouts Hashirama in disbelief, not believeing what he had just heard Lori say. Shisui has an angry and betrayed look on his face as gets ready to lunge a snake pin Lori down to keep her from pulling the lever. Itachi stays calm as he remembers Lori's words from earlier.

"I am not going to be blamed for her death!" Says Lori.

As the teen walks up to the lever her eyes lock with Tobirama's. Time to open up a can of whoop ass.

Tobirama springs into action as he throws a kunai with a symbol for the Flying Thunder God Technique at the cage Jeri is in and teleports to it using his momentum from gravity and the laws of inertia to knock the cage outside he cauldron without harming Jeri. All Lori hears is a snap from the chain signifying that the chain was now broken off the gears and smirks at the clown beside her.

The clown begins to run but Itachi is right behind him and swiftly knocks him out with his Sharingan genjutsu, hypnotizing the man into unconsciousness. Apparently Tajima and Butsuma just didn't give a shit because Tajima had fatally stabbed one of the clowns and Butsuma had done the same to another. Shisui sighs at the needless killing with his father and Itachi.

After that was taken care of Hahsirama uses his wood release to break the cage and Jeri slowly steps out, the effects of adrenaline slowly wearing off. "Holy shit."

Lori smirks. "So you do cuss."

Hahsirama steps between the two girls in case a fight is about to break out. "Let's get Jeri home. I'll heal your wounds there."


Jeri was holding a pack of frozen peas on her face to ease the swelling of the bruise and it was working. Hahsirama had patched up the rest of her wounds easily, thankful that they were not as bad as they could have been. Jeri bEgan to wonder if this was how Lori felt when she was bedridden after the attack. How the hell was she supposed to explain this to her parents? Oh hey, I saw a news report about clowns and went to find Lori because I pissed her off and got kidnapped and beaten. Not to mention almost thrown in a tub of acid! I'm fine now the ninja rescued me. Yeah no.

Looking she saw the door opening to reveal Shisui and Itachi.

"Yo!" Shisui salutes with a wave as him and Itachi glance over Jeri.

"Hey." Mummers Jeri.

"Do you need anything? Food? Drink?" Shisui offers with a sad smile on his face. He didn't like the condition that Jeri was in.

"Something frozen perhaps?" Itachi suggests.

"Could you Itachi?" Jeri asks hopefully as he stays still for a brief moment before gently taking the bag of not so frozen peas from the girl's hand and moving out of the room to go to the kitchen.

"You know, if you need to talk or anything..." Shisui drifts off, he knew that if Jeri needed to talk she would talk. He would listen. That's what friends are for.

"Shisui. Do you need to talk about something?" Asks Jeri. Shisui raised his head to look at the woman.

"Well..."

Itachi walks into the room with a bag of frozen corn and gently placed it on Jeri's face. Jeri hisses at the icy cold touch but it soon begins to feel nice rather than icy. Shisui smiles as he walks out and downstairs. He would talk to her some other time. Itachi stays up with the Uchiha woman for a while.

"So who's telling her parents?" Tobirama asks while everyone goes ridged. All eyes were on Lori.

"Alright."
