Hi guys,it's me! :D
School is pretty stressful, but today I've finally got some time to write again. Have fun with this chapter!
"So everyone's got their food?" Kabuto assumed as Ryu came back to the laboratory.
"Yes..." Ryu replied. He wanted to ask Kabuto to tell him something about Keiko, but he was nervous.
"Is there bothering, Ryu?"
"You noticed that? To be honest, yes. While giving out the food, I noticed two girls I've never seen. I think their names are Keiko and Sarana and I was wondering if maybe you could tell me something about them."
"You're taking an interest in prsioners? That's unusual."
I know, but they won't leave my head, so I'd be glad if you could tell me everything you know."
"If that makes you happy... Keiko is 18 year. She comes from a very rich family. Unfortunately, they were robbed and killed in the process, except for her obviously. Orochimaru-sama found her and took her in."
"So she came here willingly?"
"More or less, she didn't know what she was doing back then. As for Sarana, she's 16. In contrast to Keiko's parents, hers were very poor, so they decided to sell her shortly after her birth. They needed the money, they really did. Anyway, her adoptive father died and her 'mother' treated her like scum and wanted to kill her, luckily, Orochimaru-sama saw that and saved her."
"How awful."
"Yes, but they weren't grateful enough and trid to run away together with the third one of the trio, Kuraiko, but we managed to catch them."
"What has happened to Kuraiko?"
"I don't know. Orochimaru-sama wanted to take care of her personally. Maybe she's dead, maybe she's not, who knows?" Kabuto giggled.
"Yeah... funny..." Ryu mumbled.
"What's the matter? You look so... regretful."
"It's nothing. I just pity them for their past."
"Don't let that pity become a burden to you. You have to follow your orders, no matter what. You know that, don't you?"
"Yes, Kabuto-sama. If you'd excuse me now, I'd like to get some rest."
"Of course, you deserve it."
Ryu thanked him and left the laboratory.
Instead of going straight to his room, Ryu went to the prison area again and stood in front of the cell Keiko and Sarana were in.
"What do you want?" Keiko hissed. Sarana was sitting in a corner, fast asleep.
"I'll get you out of here. Please wake your friend up."
"That's a trap, isn't it? To see if we're brave enough or if we've lost our will to resist."
"No, please trust me, I'm too honest to do such a thing. They would send someone else instead of me if that was the case!"
"But they sent you."
"No, no one sent me! I'm here because I really want to help you get out of here."
"Why?"
"Because I somehow... like you."
"You do?"
"Yes, I think so. Think about it, I'll come back tonight once Kabuto and Orochimaru are asleep, alright?"
"Alright... I'll talk to Sarana about it."
"Good, see ya!"
"Yeah..."
-nighttime-
"So have you decided?" Ryu asked coming back.
"Yes, we'll trust you. Do you know how to get us out?" Keiko replied.
"I still have the keys because I was supposed to bring food to all of you again, tomorrow."
"Nice!" Sarana cried out.
Ryu took out the keys and opened the door to let the girls out. "Now come, we have to hurry before they find us!"
"But I thought you said you'll come once the others are asleep."
"Yes and they are, I guess, but can you ever be sure of it? Remember who they are, they know everything, that's crazy!"
"Whatever, what about Kuraiko?" Keiko wanted to know.
"Once we've found a shinobi village, we a going to tell them everything and ask them to save her, she's with him, if she's still alive, we'd have no chance."
"What if they hurt or even kill her once they find out we're gone?"
"They were pretty dumb if the would kill their only pressurizing medium against you." the boy stated matter-of-factly.
"I hope you're right..."
"Let's go!"
As always, here's a little reminder that I'd be glad if you could tell me if there are any mistakes in this chapter so I can correct it.
Thank you and see ya!
