Well, since I'm a rubbish updater, and cause of exams and blah blah blah, I've not had much time to write, so I'm gonna try and make the chapters shorter but update faster, so instead of the usual 2000odd words I usually do for a chapter, I'm gonna get it down to around 1000, which'll be much easier for me to write…..
El3ments: I'm updating now, I think Saya and Sasuke sound good together is cause they both start with S lol…that was my reasoning anyway…..
Fu5ionist: Thank you very much
Mike Pan: thanky I'm glad you've stuck with me on this story
JapanAnimeGirl: hee hee, I'm the queen of cliffhangers…just kidding (omg I'm turning into xianhuagh from soul calibur…..)
Littleanikaze: I updated again, sorry for the lateness
Candy44: I will try and put more NejiTenTen in because they are great.
Sakura: thank you very much, I do try my best to entertain, I live in Romford in Essex, where about's do you live?
Angel: thank you hun, although I think you've read most of this chapter already
Darkshaman817: Thanky dankey
Chibi-tsurara-59: I'm being horrible to Hinata, but you won't find out exactly what happened for a while yet
Chapter 13
"That'll be them now."
It didn't have the effect that Saya desired, the guard didn't panic but remained calm. He took out a kunai and cut the ropes that bound Saya's legs to the chair. He grabbed her by the back of the neck and pulled her upright. Her feet just touched the floor, she swallowed hard.
"Don't get smart with me little girl, I could crush you with one hand. I don't think you understand who I am." He whispered maliciously into her ear.
It hit her then, he was the bounty hunter from the small abandoned house. The one she thought Li had killed, "Eisuke." The word escaped her lips in a whisper.
"Finally you figured it out." He chuckled humourlessly. He dropped Saya onto her feet, and she sucked in large quantities of air into her lungs. Eisuke shoved her in the back and she stumbled forwards, "Move, now. I bet your group will be here any second."
Saya walked out of the room slowly and turned down the corridor. She stopped dead in her tracks and Eisuke walked into the back of her. Standing at the end of the corridor was Sasuke, he was looking the other way.
"Sas-" was as far as she got before Eisuke grabbed her, put a firm hand over her mouth and dragged her back into the room.
He performed a long, quick string of handseals with his free hand. He then pulled Saya with him so that they were both against the wall by the door. Saya saw Sasuke walk into the room. Saya locked eyes with him. But even though she was standing in front of him, he didn't seem to see her.
He must have cast a Genjutsu. Thought Saya. She and Sasuke were only a meter apart. Thinking quickly, Saya kicked out with her left foot and caught Sasuke in the shins. Saya saw Sasuke's eyes widen, then turn red.
"Shit." Muttered Eisuke as he threw Saya to the floor. He threw two kunai at Sasuke who dodged them easily, then Eisuke came in for a swift kick to Sasuke's left side sending he flying across the room. Sasuke hit the wall then slumped to the ground, half conscious. He tried to get up but fell back down again. Eisuke smirked, "Don't bother kid. If you die, who's gonna be there at your girlfriends funeral?"
Sasuke's face twitched, he gritted his teeth and stood. "You bastard."
Eisuke shrugged. "Kanashibari no jutsu" Sasuke's entire body went rigid, and he crashed to the floor again. He tried to move, but the ninjutsu wouldn't let him.
"I'll be back to kill you later." Eisuke told him, as he pulled Saya upright.
"You can do it now if you want to." Li stood in the door way. "I'll take Saya."
"As if, You'll take her and get all the money."
Li produced a bulging envelope out of his pocket and threw it to Eisuke. "That's half, do what you want with it."
Eisuke caught the envelope and pushed Saya towards Li, "Fine take her." He said without looking up, too lost in looking at the money in his hand. "I can't believe you have to guts to kill her yourself."
"I owe her a lot." Said Li, staring past Saya at Sasuke. Li gave a quick nod, and pulled Saya out of the room with him.
When they had travelled down a flight of stairs they were on a balcony. Li took a kunai from his pouch and twisted it around in his hand.
Saya stared at the kunai as it span in Li's hand, "If you're going to kill me hurry up and get it done with."
Li stopped spinning it and took Saya by the shoulder facing her away from him. She closed her eyes, waiting for it. Instead of feeling pain, she felt her hands being cut free. She looked at Li.
"Why? I thought…"
Li put a finger up to her lips, signalling her to be quiet, "Because I love you."
Says was speechless, she kept opening her mouth to say something, but her mind couldn't put the words there.
There was a clapping behind them, they both turned quickly.
Mei was smiling. "How very touching." She said then her face went cold as she looked at Saya, "You took everything from me, and now you've turned the only person in the world I have against me. I hate you so much."
"Mei, I didn't kill your brother. At least you still have someone, my entire families dead!" Saya shouted.
"Don't give me that teary crap. It was you that killed them in the first place."
Saya's lip trembled slightly and she had to force the words out of her mouth, "Fuck you bitch! How the hell could you say that?"
Mei was slightly taken aback at the ferocity of Saya's words. "i…I…" Then she clenched her teeth, "Because it's true." She performed hand seals so quickly they were a blur. Her kunai floated out from her pouch, each covered in Chakra. She motioned her hand towards Saya and they flew forwards.
There's no way I'm going to be able to dodge that many…I'm going to die…. Thought Saya
Naruto and Kiba ran along the corridor silently. Akamaru was riding on Kiba's
shoulder. They stopped at a corner. Akamaru jumped down from Kiba's shoulder and crept around the corner. He barked once and returned to Kiba.
"Akamaru says that Hinata's just down the corridor." Kiba whispered In Naruto's ear. Naruto nodded. They crept forwards crouching low to the ground, then stopped at the first door they came to. "It's this one. You first."
Naruto tested the door handle, and the door didn't move. "It's locked."
Both Kiba and Naruto kicked at the door once. It shook on it's hinges. They tried again, and the door fell forwards.
The sight that greeted Naruto was not the one he was expecting. Hinata was on the floor trying to fight off a guard.
The marks on Naruto's cheek became more pronounced, red chakra swirled around him. Kiba took a step back from him, and Akamaru's cowered in Kiba's hood, with his tail between his legs. "Get off her now." Naruto growled, showing his pointed front teeth
"Or what?" Asked the guard, as he kissed Hinata in front of Naruto.
Naruto lept on him, pushing him off Hinata and into the wall. Naruto stuck his claws in the Guards chest, who screamed pitifully as Naruto twisted them slowly round in a circle. Hinata put her hand to her mouth, and stared wide eyed at what was happening. Naruto withdrew his claws and slashed across the guards face repeatedly.
"Naruto-kun! Stop!" Shouted Hinata "Please…"
He froze, then looked at Hinata as if awakening. His lust to kill faded and the claws retracted back to normal nails. Hinata stood, and ran to Naruto, flinging her arms around him. Naruto held her tight as if he would never let her go.
Well that's it for this shorter chapter, hope it wasn't too bad, but I promise I will try and update sooner…..
