Still Day Three

Hinata went to check on Sasuke. She quietly entered the room, and saw Sasuke eating a tomato, and reading his book in his bed.

"Hi Sasuke." Hinata said. Sasuke looked up. "Oh...uh..hi?" he said. "Dont tell Sakura that Im not sleeping." Sasuke said. Hinata looked at the floor. Pillows were everywhere.

"Uh...Ill clean that up.." Sasuke said. Hinata shook her head. "Sakura said you have to stay in bed. I will do it." she said. Sasuke nodded. "Okay." he said.

"Well, I got to go. Now keep your room clean! Gaara! I expect you to give me reports!" Sakura said. Gaara sighed. "Its just a room..." he said. Sakura stood up. "Thanks for lunch. See ya!" Sakura said.

Kankuro and Naruto ran back to their room. Gaara sat down outside. "It stopped raining..." he said.

"KANKURO! YOUR DEAD!"

"NARUTO! GIVE HIM BACK!"

Gaara sighed, and shook his head. "I cant leave them alone for 1 min." he said. He walked back to his room, and saw Kankruo and Naruto holding the other person's stuffed animal.

"SHUSHI!"

"KYUUBI! DROP HIM!" Naruto yelled. Kankuro shook his head. "If I drop him, you wont give me back my Sushi!" Kankuro said.

Gaara took some sand out of his pockets. He walked up to the two boys. "Tell him to give-" Kankuro and Naruto said, but suddenly, Gaara threw sand into their eyes. The two boys dropped the puppets, and put their hands to their eyes.

"GAARA! WHAT WAS THAT FOR!" Kankruo yelled.

Naruto ran to the wash room. "I THINK ITS OBVIOUS WHY HE THREW SAND INTO OUR EYES! WATER!" Naruto yelled.

Gaara sat down on his bed, and read his book. The two boys came back from the washroom rubbing their eyes. "Thanks a lot Gaara!" Naruto said.

Gaara glared at them. "You guys are fighting non stop. Next time, sand will be in your food..." he said dangerously. Kankuro and Naruto gulped.

"Now keep quiet...I need to think.." Gaara said closing his eyes. Kankuro nudged Naruto and smirked. "Thinking about Sakura?" he said. Gaara flung open his eyes and glared.

"What?" he said. Kankuro smiled. "Im not scared. I know you like Sakura." Kankuro said. Gaara stood up ready to stranggle Kankuro stopped him. "Shut up Kankuro. Gaara knows shes Sasuke. Right?" Naruto asked.

"I know Sasuke and Sakura are together. Shut up Kankuro." Gaara said in a deadly voice. "Well, I guess not anymore, but when you saw Sakura, I saw your face.." Kankuro said smriking.

That had done it. Gaara set himself free from Naruto's grasp, and ran after Kankuro. "IM GOING TO KILL YOU!" Gaara yelled throwing sand at Kankuro. Naruto sighed. "Sakura is going to be a daily cleaner..." he muttered.

Sakura entered the room, seeing Sasuke sleeping. Hinata was picking up the rest of the pillows. "Hinata?" Sakura asked. Hinata turned around. "Oh..Sakura..hi.." she said.

"What are you doing?" Sakura asked. "Uh...I was...j..just p..picking.." she stuttered. Sakura took a pillow from Hinata, and threw it at Sasuke. "GET UP YOU FAKER!" Sakura yelled. Yes, Sasuke was faking his sleep, so he jumped out of bed. "Sakura! Im fine I tell you! Ask Hinata!" Sasuke said running.

"I can see that! Dont make Hinata do your dirty work!" Sakura said. "Its your fault for giving me so many pillows!" Sasuke said. "So you dont have to throw them on the floor!" Sakura said. "Well, then dont give me pillows!" "You could of said so!" "I did!" "Did not!" Did too!" Did not!" "Ya I did!" "No you didnt!" "Yes!" "No!" "YES!" NO!"

Sasuke and Sakura yelled like little children,. until Hinata ran to the door way. "Stop fighting you two!" she said, throwing a pillow at each of their faces, and ran out.

Sasuke and Sakura were frozen, then Sakura giggled. "We deserved it." she said. Sasuke smirked.

Neji and Tenten went back to their cabin, and found a note from Lee.

Went to jog around this youthful island 200 times.

Lee

"What cha want to do?" Tenten asked Neji. Neji shrugged. "I miss basketball..." he said. Tenten smiled. "When we get back..." she started but looked away. "You can do the play..." she said.

Neji cocked an eyebrow. "Play? Oh right...that play.." he said sighing. "I thought you liked it?" Tenten asked. "What? When did I ever say that?" Neji said. Tenten sighed. "Well, I thought you might wanna kiss..." Tenten said. Neji put his hands to his head and shook his head. He sat down on the couch.

"Tenten! I thought you knew that I dont like her. There is nothing between u. We even want to move the table thing shes on so no one would see us NOT kissing." Neji said with hurt in his eyes.

Tenten sat down next to him. "Im sorry Neji..I just...I forgot that your not that kind of guy...theres just so many guys that like Sakura...and.." she said looking away.

"You jelous or something? You shouldnt be. Your mine." Neji said. Tenten blushed. "Ya what ever." she said playfully. "What ever? Your so mean." Neji said with puppy dog eyes. "Your doing it Neji! Aww! Its so cute!" Tenten said. Neji blushed, and kissed her. Tenten closed her eyes enjoying the kiss, and wrapped her arms around Neji's neck.

Neji took out the elastics in her hair. Tenten's hair gently fell down onto her shoulders. Neji loved her hair down.

Neji slipped his hands around Tenten's waist. He pulled her closer. The two of them enjoyed themselves, while Hinata and Naruto had decided to take a talk on the beach.

"That rainbow is so pretty isnt Hinata?" Naruto asked his girlfriend. Hinata nodded. She watched Naruto smile at the sight. His short hair blew in the wind, his bright blye eys shining with delight, his face happy and excited, yet calm and she felt secure in those arms. She loved everything about him.

Naruto looked at Hinata. Her hands closed together, looking up at the rainbow. Her white eyes, as beautiful as pearls. They way she smiled, melted his heart. The way she cried, broke his heart. How she cared for him, made his day the best. He loved everything about her.

Naruto put his hand around Hinata's waist, and kissed her. He smiled, and walked on. Hinata blushed, and ran to catch up to the guy she loved. Hinata giggled. Naruto cocked an eyebrow. Hinata blushed. "Naruto..your kissed tasted like ramen.." she said. Naruto blushed, and scratched his head sheepishly. "Well...uh.." he said still blushing.

Hinata giggled. Naruto smirked. "I love how you giggle Hinata..."he whispered in her ear. He held her hand, and kissed it. He looked into her eyes, and Hinata nodded. He held her waist, and kissed her. She rested her head on Naruto's shoulder, while he kissed her neck.

"I love you Hinata." Naruto whispered in her ear, and went back to kissing her neck. He didnt want to take it too far. He knew that Hinata wont be too comfertable if he went too far. He understood, and he felt the same way.

Shikamaru got up, but fell down. Temari blushed. "I didnt know I kicked you that hard...sorry Shika!" she said. Shikamaru got up. "Its okay. Just dont do it again..." he said. Ino looked outside. "Hey Shika, wanna go outside?" Ino asked. Shikamaru shrugged, and followed her out.

"Lets go explore!" Ino said.

Shika, and Ino climbed up some rocks, and saw a forest. "Lets go Shika!" Ino said dragging him. "This is so troublesome.." he muttered. They walked through the forest, and saw grassy hills, birds, and some squirrles everywhere. The rainbow could be seen clearly, with clouds floating in the sky. Water quietly trickled down the creek.

Ino smiled. "This place is so beautfiul! Look at the clouds Shika!" Ino said. Shika looked up and nodded. "The clouds are nice today..." he said.

He layed on the grassy hill, and looked up at the clouds. Ino lay beside him. "Yesterday, you borught me to my bed, right?" Ino asked. Shikamaru nodded.

Ino smiled, and kissed Shikamaru on the cheek. "Thanks." she said. Shika blushed. Ino snuggeld closer to him. He put a hand around her waist, and brought her close. Ino's head landed on his chest. "Dont fall asleep Ino." Shikamaru said. "I wont." Ino said.

She closed her eyes, bit wasnt sleeping. She listened to Shikamaru's steady heart beat, and felt his arm around her. She smiled. Shikamaru put his other hand underneath his head, and watched the clouds go by. He enjoyed this moment. Ino was with him, and was peaceful.

"I love you Shika." Ino said. Shikamaru looked down. She was staring at him. He blushed. "Why you blushing?" Ino asked. He closed his eyes, and rested his head down again. "Because you were staring at me." he said. "I wasnt staring at you!" she said blushing.

"Yes you were. Why you blushing?" he asked openening his eyes. "Im not blushing!" she said. "Yes you are. Why?" he asked. "Because you said I was staring at you." she said. "Well, you were. Why?" Shika said. "I dunno. Because your hott. Now shut up." Ino said.

Shikamaru blushed, and shut up. Ino layed her head down on his chest. Shika spotted a flower near him, and picked it. "Hey Ino." Shikamaru said. Ino opened her eyes, and saw a flower beside her. "A flower?" Ino asked. Shika nodded. "You like flowers right?" he asked. Ino nodded.

"Thanks." she said. She kissed him on the cheek. Shika blushed. "Why do you have to kiss me?" he asked. Ino looked down. "Because I love you.What kind of questoin is that?" she asked. Shika shrugged. Ino looked away. "You dont love me or something?" she asked. Shika held her chin, and brought to him. He kissed her deeply.

He brought her down on the grass. Ino wrapped her arms around him. Shikamaru kissed her neck, and her collarbone. "Answer your question?" Shika asked not really needing a reply.

Sakura admitted that Sasuke wasnt sick, so they cleaned up the pillows, and sat on Sakura's bed.

"What you wanna do?" Sakura asked. Sasuke smirked. Sakura sighed. "I know what your thinking." she said. Sasuke did his puppy dog eyes. "Come on Sakura." he said holding her hands.

Sakura leaned towards him and pressed her luscious lips against his. He let go of her hands and cupped her face with his right hand while his left hand pulled her closer. Her arms wrapped around him, pulling him even closer. She kissed him with a hunger, a passion that seemed almost unnatural.

Sasuke slid his shirt off, and Sakura admired how strong he was. Sasuke felt soft skin against his chest. Sakura put her hands agaisnt his chest. She kissed him passionatly. Sasuke unbottoned her shirt, and felt her smooth skin. He kissed her shoulders, and Sakrua moaned with delight. Sasuke kissed her collarbone. Sakura licked his lips, and kissed him again.

He wrapped his arms, around her, and kissed her deeply. They lay on the bed, and Sasuke kissed her again, and entered her mouth. Suddenly, they heard a knock.

Shikamaru, Neji, Naruto? Nah...they have girlfriends...god we got to get our clothes... Sasuke thought.

Its cant be the girls...god! I need my shirt! Sakura thought. KNOCK KNOCK

"Just a minute!" Sakura said. She pushed Sasuke to find her shirt. Sasuke fell. "Sakura!" Sasuke said. "Sorry Sasuke!" she said passing his shirt to him. She quickly buttoned her shirt, and waited for Sauske. He slid on his shirt, and they ran to the door.

"Sasuke, Sakura! Its Hinata! Shes gone!" it was Naruto. "Gone?" Sasuke asked fixing his hair. "Ya. We were taking a walk, and I had to go to the washroom. When I came back, she wasnt there, and I found this!" Naruto said giving Sasuke a note.

If your looking for the white eyed girl, shes with us. The boy with blond hair, if you love and want her back, climb up the high rocks, walk the the forest, and get her. Bring no one but you, or she dies. She will probably die anyways. I hope you dont come, because she looks like a cute one. Be there at 1:00am.

Sakura looked at Sasuke scared. Sasuke ripped the note. He looked at Naruto. Naruto's fists were clenched. "Im going." Naruto said. "Naruto! Be careful!" Sakura said. Sasuke put his hand on Naruto's shoulder. "Bring weapons, a walkie talkie or something. If you really need back up, me and Neji will me at the forest." Sasuke said. Naruto shook his head.

"If they see you, Hinata will die.." Naruto said. Sakura went to tell everyone. Shikamaru and Ino had come back a while ago. It was 10:30pm. "The forest! Me and Shika were there earlier. But we didnt see anyone.." Ino said. "They probably went when we came back." Shikamaru said.

The guys made sure Naruto had weapons, and the girls wished him luck, and to be careful.

They all waited at Naruto's cabin, until it was 12:40pm. It took about 20 min. to get there. "Im not letting you go alone. Me and Neji will climb up the rocks, and stay there. If your really hurt or if we hear one of you two scream, we will come." Sasuke said. Naruto nodded. "Just dont be seen.." he said.

Naruto reached the place. He saw 4 figures, and he knew one of them was Hinata. "You the blond kid?" on of them asked. Naruto stepped into the moonlight. "Im Naruto Uzumaki. Here to kick your ass, and to save my girl." he said.

The figures laughed. The pushed Hinata into the moonlight. There was a cloth tied around her mouth. Her hands and legs were tied. She fell onto the dirt. Naruto took a step forward, but Hinata shook her head. One man stood near Hinata with a sword.

"Dont care about your pathetic name, but ours. Im Mokai, that is Donai, and the guy gaurding pretty girl is Foku." Mokai said.

Naruto glared at him. Hinata is mine... "You wanna do this the easy way, or the hard way?" Donai asked.

"Whats the easy way?" Naruto asked. Mokai chuckled. "Well..the easy way, is you give us the money, and we give you the girl." Mokai said.

"Money?" Naruto asked. "Ya. We explained it in the note." Mokai said. Naruto shook his head. Mokai glared at Foku. "Idiot! Anyways..give us 8 hundred thousand dollars. Thats the easy way. The hard way.." Mokai said chuckling. "Spill!" Naruto said getting inpatient.

"You dont give the money, and you dont get the girl. We finish you off, and your friends..well I saw this girl with pink hair...she was hott.." Mokai said. Naruto glared at him. "Your not getting Hinata, and dont think about Sakura!" Naruto said getting his kunai out. He ran to wards Foku, to free Hinata, but Donai covered them.

Naruto swung his arm around to hit Donai, but Donai blocked the hit. He sent a foot at Naruto's head, but he caught it, spun Donai around, and let him crash into a tree. Naruto ran, but Mokai covered.

Naruto took out three kunais. One in his mouth, and one in each hand. Mokai took out a shuriken. He threw it at the running Naruto, who dodged it easily. Naruto threw one of the kunais at Mokai, who caught it, and threw it back, with a kick to Naruto's face. Naruto blocked it, and scratched Mokai across the face with his kunai. Mokai fell back and held his bloody face.

Donai ran to Naruto from behind, but Naruto threw the last kunai at him. Donai dodgfed it, and took out a shuriken. He threw it at Naruto who barely dodged, then attacked Naruto with punches and kicks.

Naruto blocked a few, but Donai was a lot bigger than him. "Mhh mh!" Hinata scremed threw the cloth.

Naruto got punched in the gut, and went flying backwords. He coughed up some blood. He looked up and saw that Donai had a black eye. "Did..I do that to you?" Naruto said.

"No. Youre girl friend did." he said. Naruto smirked. "Well, let me give you the other one a black eye to match." Naruto said and ran to Donai. Naruto punched and kicked him, and Donai smirked. "This the best you can do?" he said.

Naruto spun around and kicked him in the eye. Donai fell back. Naruto got a kunai out and threw it at his stomach. Donai painfully took out the kunai from his body. Naruto panted. He picked up a shuriken that he dodged. He threw it at Donai who got hit.

Foku picked Hinata up. "MHMM MH!" Hinata yelled. Naruto looked at her girlfriend. Foku took out a kunai and held it to her throat. "Put your weapons down.." Foku said to Naruto.

Naruto looked at Hinata. Tears were strolling down her face. Naruto took out his weapons and threw them on the ground.

Foku took out a shuriken and threw it at Naruto. Naruto let it hit him Foku threw 3 kunais at Naruto. Naruto let them hit him. Blood splashed out onto the ground. Hinata shook her head. Naruto fell on his knees.

Hinata squirmed. She felt the kunai at her throat. "Dont move.." Foku said. Hinata closed her eyes, and kicked. She kicked like a wold animal. She didnt care if she got hurt. Naruto was unconcious, but she loft he was dead. She had nothing anymore. The boy she loved was dead. She kicked and felt Foku fall down.

She kicked his 'sensitive' part. Hinata grabbed a kunai with her hands, and cut threw the rope. She cut around her legs. Then ripped the cloth off her mouth. She took the kunai and threw it into Foku's stomach. She saw Mokai run at her. Hinata took the rope, and looped it around Mokai.

She dragged him to Foku. Mokai cut the rope, but Hinata threw a kunai at his leg so he fell down. She hit him in a vital sopt which knocked him uncouncious.

Hinata did the same to Foku. She tied all three together. Hinata panted, and looked at Naruto. Tears fell down her cheeks onto Naruto's cheeks.

"Naruto..." she muttered. She threw herself onto his body, and sobbed. Naruto opened his eyes. and saw Hinata crying over his body. He smiled, and held her face. "Hinata..its okay..dont cry.." Naruto said. Hinata looked at his face. She gasepd. "Naruto!" she said, still crying. She hugged him deeply and cried on his shoulder.

Naruto stroked her hair. "Its okay Hinata...Im fine.." he said and sat up. He clutched his stomach. "Naruto! Your stomach..." Hinata said. "No. Its okay..im fine..." Naruto said getting up again. He moaned and fell back down unconcious.

Sasuke and Neji heard everything, and ran. Thry saw blood on the ground. The three guys tied up and Naruto and Hinata.

Neji and Sasuke ran to them. Neji helped Hinata up. Sasuke picked Naruto up. They went back to the cabin.
