First thing's first, I'm VERY sorry that I took so long to write this (Stupid school started
again)
Anyways!
Okay, so, to you who already know who the mysterious voice is: Read on! If you don't…
Read on! I'm also very sorry if you figured it out right away, but it was kinda obvious,
and that the chapter was
VERY short, I wrote it late at night, and I wasn't feeling too creative, otherwise NO ONE
would have figured out the voice… Or maybe they would… Sorry, I'll continue! XP
Oh, one more thing (Don't groan!) Half of this chapter will be written from the
mysterious voice's point of view, and the other half will be Ino's point of view (Not first
person though… Um… Just read it!).
This might be a little short. SORRY! I'll write one that's longer when I get back.
"YOU!" Shikamaru shrieked, flinging his hands up in the air, as though he were
celebrating. "How did you get in…?"
"How did I get in? Simple, the door was unlocked," Naruto grabbed Ino's hand and tried
pulling her up… She wouldn't budge.
Shikamaru laughed. "Having a hard time? I guess you would," He walked over to Naruto.
"Weakling."
"That won't work," Naruto laughed. "I've gotten over that. No matter what you call me,
I'm here to save Ino."
"You won't get past me!" Shikamaru laughed. "There's no way you could! You have to
carry her, first of all, and second…" Naruto dropped Ino, looking stunned. "You've
fallen victim to my Kage Mane no Jutsu."
Naruto grunted, trying to move even his pinky finger.
I must do this, he thought. I must move and save Ino, and get rid of this… This…
"You know," Shikamaru started, looking unconcerned, and moving his arms in a careless
way, Naruto echoing his movements. "I could make you do anything I
wanted, I could even make you kill her," He said, making Naruto walk over to Ino and
take out a kunai. "I could make you kill yourself," The knife moved close to Naruto's neck. "But I won't do that."
He released Naruto from his shadow technique.
As he sat on the floor beside Ino, he quickly said, "I bet I could get out of here all on my
own, whilst you need a whole army of jocks to back you up because you're too lazy to do
anything yourself."
"I'm too lazy to do anything myself?" Shikamaru repeated, sounding childish, trying to
copy Naruto's voice. "I killed all those people… By myself."
"You're the one?" Naruto asked. "You're the reason why Ino's in so much trouble? Let
me clarify, you killed all of the people in the lobby, and pinned it all on Ino?"
"Yes," Shikamaru nodded, chuckling darkly. "And that's not all…"
"What…?" Naruto asked, looking terrified at Shikamaru, and protecting Ino from
anything he might attempt.
"You're not Naruto," Shikamaru said, laughing again. "I know because Naruto would
have been easy prey to my Kage Mane no Jutsu," He walked over to Naruto, looking
down at him. "He was too…"
"Well, you're right, I guess," Naruto said, shrugging, cutting him off. "I'm not Naruto.
He is," Naruto said, pointing behind Shikamaru.
"Right, I'll turn around, and you'll punch me, right?" Shikamaru asked, looking a little
wary.
"I'd turn around if I were you," Naruto warned.
"Ha!" He laughed. "As if…" Shikamaru fell to the ground as someone hit him hard on
the side of the head.
Naruto, who was in front of Shikamaru, burst into smoke, and the Naruto behind
Shikamaru said, "'Ha, as if,' what?"
He picked up Ino, and ran up the flight of creaky stairs, and ran out to his parked mini
cooper, and put Ino gently in. He quickly performed Kage bunshin no Jutsu, surrounding
the car with many clones of himself, and ran back into the house. He knew he could get
out, now he'd have to go back in and try to bring Shikamaru to jail… Impossible? Not for
Naruto.
Ino woke up, and saw many blond heads surrounding the car she was in. She thought for
a second they were going to attack.
Wait, her mind scolded her. Heads attacking? Don't be such a baka.
I've seen this, Ino thought in her pounding mind. She tried sitting up, but felt something
sharp poke into her brain. I hate headaches, she thought, laying back down. I've seen this
car, where though?
Who was that? Where am I? Wait, she took a second glance at the heads. Naruto? She
thought excitedly. He saved me? Where is he now though?
POOF!
The many heads disappeared, and Ino almost screamed. Her aching head stopped her
from making any noise at all.
Why did they disappear? She wondered, sitting up, and wondering how many bones were
broken. She leaned towards the window, and before she could register the gritty, small,
ugly house before her, she gasped and laid back down. One, two, three, four…
Shikamaru threw me really hard against that wall, didn't he?
Her knee, shin, ankle and wrist were all throbbing with pain, and as Ino looked at them,
they were at a strange angle.
She couldn't stand it… This… Sight of… broken…
She fainted… Once again.
IN THE HOUSE
Naruto snuck into the house, making the door creak as little as possible. He wanted this
done and over with.
Down here, and… Naruto looked down the basement stairs at the empty room… EMPTY
ROOM!
Naruto turned, as though in slow motion, towards the voice now saying, "You need to
sharpen your senses."
Bam! Naruto flew from one end of the room to the other, and smashed against the
opposite wall, turning to smoke.
"What the…?" Shikamaru gasped. "I could have sworn…"
"Sworn what?" Naruto's voice came from somewhere above Shikamaru. "You need to
sharpen your senses."
He threw himself on top of Shikamaru, forcing him to the ground, and punched him, just
once, but with such immense power, that Shikamaru was knocked immediately
unconscious.
"Well, that's done," Naruto said, dusting off his hands, and dragging Shikakmaru by the
collar out the front door.
He shoved Shikamaru roughly into the back of his mini cooper, and slipped some plastic
handcuffs on him.
He got into the front of the car, and noticed Ino's arm and leg.
"Oh, not good!" He started the car. If he called an ambulance, it would most certainly
come too late.
He drove top speed to the police department. He came to a screeching halt, and then
thought… Wait until Shikamaru was put under arrest, and let Ino suffer, or put Ino into
the hospital and let Shikamaru escape?
He grunted. "I have hardly any chakra left, will this work? I hope so," He made hand
signs. "Kage bunshin no Jutsu!"
Only one Naruto appeared. He took Ino into the hospital, while the other Naruto took
Shikamaru into the police department.
Naruto ran, tears building up in his eyes. If he'd only been there, Ino wouldn't be hurt,
and she wouldn't have been kidnapped. It was all his fault…
"Ino, I'm sorry," He whispered as he fell to his knees, right outside of the emergency
doors.
He saw Ino's face, and nurses running out to them as he fell unconscious.
