(note: this is set about a week after last chapter)
Disclaimer: I Don't Own Naruto But Melody is my creation Melody and Sakura sat on a bench out side the academy waiting for the others to meet them so they could train for a while before dark.
"Could the be any slower" Sakura said stretching "If you ask me I say ditch them they deserve it" she said pulling Melody up with her. They began to walk away when the heard a high pitch whistle and sakura fell to the ground. Melody began to scream when some one grabbed her from behind she tried to fight them off but they were to strong. Tears fell from her eyes the last thing she saw was her bet friends motionless body and she was helpless to help her. She felt her captors chakra flow thru and freeze her body she was completely defenseless all she could do was pray she was going to be alright. She heard Naruto and Sasuke arguing in the distance and knew at least Sakura had a chance. With the last bit of control she had she looked into her captors eyes.
Sasuke & Narutos POV
"What the hell" Sasuke said running in the direction of Sakura. He put his ear to her chest and relaxed slightly when he heard a heartbeat he then cradled her head in his lap. She coughed and opened her eyes which were glossed with fear. She jumped to her feet frantically looking around then falling to her knees in defeat.
"Shes gone Mel...is gone" She cried out punching the ground in pure rage. "It's all my fault I was to weak and slow to protect her" She said tears flowing from her eyes. Naruto approached her slowly.
"We'll find her they can't have gotten to far" He said in reassurance but she didn't believe him and he could tell she didn't.
"It was him" She said looking at sasuke. Sasuke's eyes flared and turned red as the Sharingan appeared searching the shadows.
"That bastard will pay" he yelled running into the alley.
Melody's POV
She sat up slowly pain nagging at her to lay back down but she didn't she pulled herself to her feet and began to walk each step sent a shock wave of pain thru her body.
"You shouldn't have the strength to stand let alone walk we are going to have to change that" A cold voice chided from the darkness. A shadow shot at her and she tried to dodge it but it hit her head on knocking her to the ground. She pushed herself onto her elbows coughing up blood. She turned her head and looked up at the tall man before her. He took her by the throat and lifted her off the floor. His eyes sparkled maliciously boring into her mind. He grinned at her attempts to free herself from his iron grasp.
"You wont get away with this" She hissed hatefully at him clawing at his arm.
"Oh wont I" He smirked "Who's going to stop me for all you know your friends could be dead" He spat angrily and to emphasize his point he threw her at the wall. Her impact knocked some of the dry wall of the ceiling. She slid to the floor barley alive when a swift kick connected with her ribs her head flew back painfully colliding with the wall behind her. He pulled her up by her hair tossing her across the room. Her body fell in a crumpled heap at the foot of a flight of rickety stairs which the man stormed up. She forced herself into a position in which she could crawl. She waited until she heard the door slam and all other sounds stop. She graped the first of the worn out stairs and carefully pulled herself up. Once at the top she stopped her breathing slow and labored. She pulled herself to her her feet with her good arm and pushed the door open. Fear spread thru her body giving her an odd strength. she navigated around the scarcely furnished house and opened the door expecting him to be there to hurt her even more but he wasn't. She pushed thru it stumbling into the empty street she took a few steps and collapsed a pool of blood forming around her.
Normal POV
She could fell some one stroking her hair and talking to her. She tried to find the source of it but her body refused to move. Her fathers face popped into her head just before she opened her eyes. Kakashi sat near her bed stroking her head and listening calmly to Sasuke and Naruto arguing quietly.
"Sakura's right they are like that" She said laughing weakly. Kakashi looked her clearly relieved to she her awake.
"She hardly ever lies" He said smiling "How do you feel?" he asked quietly.
"Fine I guess" She said with a sigh "It could have been worse way worse" she the noticed Sasuke and Naruto by her bed smiling.
"well if it ain't the newly weds" she said laughing.
"Yup she's just fine" Sasuke said glaring "You had us VERY worried you've been asleep for a week" he finished taking her good hand into his own reassuringly.
"How is Sakura" She asked truly concerned that she hadn't heard about her condition.
"She's just fine she'll be by later in the mean time do you think you can walk?" Kakashi asked. Melody nodded and hoisted herself up with a little help from Sasuke. She Stood and took a few steps before becoming wobbly Kakashi caught her before she fell and placed her in a sitting position on her bed from which she lay down and fell asleep. Sasuke and Naruto left to tell Sakura that Mel was awake and Kakashi stayed with her for a while longer. He gathered the few things he had with him and placed them by the door and walked over to Melody's sleeping form.
"Goodnight my child" He said gently kissing her forehead and left the room. Melody shifted and sighed a smile on her face as she dreamed oblivious to her fathers touch.
