CHAPTER 12:Almost
This time there was no dancing Naruto and Lee. Turns out they both had a sugar hangover and had to stay at the nurses office.
"Their heads must be pounding!" Ame pointed out.
"I wonder what a sugar hangover feels like. I had a hangover before from getting drink with Kankuro. "Usagi said.
"You know you're underage to be drinking?"Ammorie asked.
"I know! Everyone keeps telling me that.! But it tasted so good!" she sighed happily as she dropped down into her lunch seat.
"Does anyone know where Sasuke and Yumi are?"Kimiko asked. Everyone shook their heads no.
"There's Yumi!" Ino said as she pointed to the door.
Everyone's jaw dropped. "She's with Neji!" Temari growled.
"He must of brainwashed her. Or hypnotized her!" Sakura said frantically.
(Neji and Yumi)
"Let me go already!' Yumi ordered.
"I don't feel like it! Now sit!" he ordered back as he pushed her into the seat next to him.
"I hate you. I can't believe you beat up Sasuke just to get me." she mumbled. "I'm leaving." She quickly got up and started walking to the door.
"Oh no you're not. Not until I'm through with you." he growled as he pulled her back down.
"Which is now so you can let me go."
"But I haven't had any fun with you yet."he whined.
"You're not going to have any fun with me at all. Now let go." she said, raising her voice.
"No! Now keep your voice down."
(Other table)
"We have to save her!"Ino protested.
"She'll be fine. Yumi can handle herself."Usagi sighed, waving her hand dismissing-ly.
"It doesn't look like that to me."Kiba said.
Everyone looked closely and saw that Yumi was struggling to get away.
(Neji and Yumi)
"You are going to stay here whether you like it or not." Neji growled as he tightened his grip on Yumi 's arm,
"What if I don't do as you say?'
"It doesn't matter. After lunch I'm taking you up to my dorm and I'm going to have a little fun with you." he got closer to her and whispered in her ear,"Destiny wants us to be together."
"Shut up about that destiny C . It's annoying." Yumi growled, her inner self starting to come out.
"Oh, so you got a little mouth do you?"he asked.
"Yeah. And you can take you're little 'fun' idea and shove it up your...!"She was cut off when Neji covered her mouth with his hand.
"Why don't you save that voice of your's for later?" he said seductively.
Yumi moved his hand away and kept yelling,"Didn't I just tell you where to put that little idea of your's? I'm not going with you."
(group table)
"That's it! I'm going over there before something bad happens."Temari concluded as she got up.
"No! Let's wait until she really needs our help." Kiba said,"Don't worry. Her inner self is taking over which means this will end quickly."
"You better be right."Temari mumbled as she reluctantly sat back down.
"This I'm sure of."
(Neji and Yumi)
"Come on. Let's go." Neji said sweetly as he pulled Yumi with him.
"No! Now let me go before I kick you're ass!" Yumi yelled as she continued to struggle in his grasp.
"Big talk for a little girl that's being dragged to pleasure."Neji teased, trying to get her more mad.
" Let me go! I'm not going anywhere with you! How many times do I have to tell you that?!"Yumi continued to yell as Neji pulled her down the hallways.
Sasuke 's P. O. V
I can't believe Neji did that just for Yumi! Wait. What's he going to do to her?! Oh no! I have to find her fast.
"Yumi!!'I yelled for her. No answer. D these long empty hallways. I just need to calm down and think: Where would he take her? I thought for a second. All of a sudden I had one of those light bulb moments.
"His dorm!" I whispered to myself as I started running for the Sound Dorms.
lunchroom-group
"I'm still waiting for her to come back."Temari growled.
"Maybe he's stronger than Yumi can handle?" Kiba said uncertainly under her glare. "Her and Gaara sure do have a lot in common ."
"That's it! I'm going after her!'Temari concluded and ran, leaving no room for any protest.
"I hope she finds her before something bad happens."Kimiko said sadly.
"Well I'm not just going to sit here and wait around."Ino spoke up,"I'm going to go help." And she left as well.
"I guess that means we're going too." Usagi sighed.
"Do I have to?" Ammorie whined.
"Yes! Now get up!"Sakura yelled at her.
"Fine!"Ammorie yelled back and walked out of the cafeteria .
"Move it Ammorie!"everyone yelled at her.
"This is sooo troublesome." she sighed as she started to run.
(Neji and Yumi)
"I don't wanna come!"Yumi whined in a childish voice. She knew it was getting on his nerves.
"I don't care." he whined back as he continued to pull her behind him.
"Hey Neji kun?" she asked in a cute tone.
"What?"
"Can I sing?"
"What?! What kind of question is that?!"
"A question that gets an answer. So can I?" she asked again as she gave him the puppy-dog eyes.
"You hung out with Ten-ten too much."he sighed," Fine."
"Okay! I know the perfect song."She took a deep breath. "I KNOW A SONG THAT GETS ON EVERYBODY'S NERVES . EVERYBODY'S NERVES . EVERYBODY'S NERVES. I KNOW A SONG THAT GETS ON EVERYBODY'S NERVES AND THIS IS HOW IT GOOOES!" She sang at the top of her lungs.
She was about to go again but Neji cut her off,"Shut up!!"
"But you said I could sing." Yumi said sadly, fake tears starting to form.
"No don't cry."
"You're a big meany. If you don't apologize and let me go then I'll scream as loud as I can and then you'll be in big trouble."
"You're acting like such a child."
" I'll scream."She took another deep breath. " SOMEBODY HELP ME! I'M GOING TO GET RAPED! HELP ME! AHHHHHHHH!!"
Sasuke 's P. O. V
That was Yumi! Which means she's around here somewhere!
" Don't worry. I'll find you."
group
"I heard a scream." Temari said to Kiba.
"So did I."
"Did you hear what she said?!"Sakura asked, starting to panic.
"Yeah. I did."Kiba answered," Which means we need to hurry."
(Neji and Yumi)
"What the F ?!"Neji cursed. He had let go of Yumi to cover his ears. He stared in shock as a couple windows started to crack.
"I'M FREE!!"Yumi sang happily as she ran down the hall.
" F you! You B !"Neji yelled at her.
Yumi stopped all of a sudden and slowly turned around,"What. Did. You. Just. Call. Me?" she growled.
Neji laughed inwardly at his discovery,"So she hates being called that, hmm? This could come to my advantage." He started walking towards her as she just stood there, looking mad as ever and giving him a major death glare.
" Answer my question now."
"I called you a B . You got a problem with that?"
flashback
"I called you a B You got a problem with that?"Hidan asked.
end of flashback
"What's the matter Yumi? Cat got you're tongue?"
"No. Not again . I don't wanna get hurt. 'Yumi said, talking to herself.
"What are you talking about? I'm not going to hurt you." Neji said as he grabbed Yumi's arm and continued to pull her.
" I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I didn't want to. I didn't do it. Don't hurt me, it's not my fault."Yumi continued to talk.
' What is she talking about? What didn't she do? Who's hurting her?"
(Sasuke)
Where is she?! I heard the scream from somewhere around here. Wait. Who's that?
group
"Look! There's Sasuke!"Kimiko said happily.
"He must be looking for Yumi too."Ammorie said, pointing out the obvious.
They quickly came up to him,"Have you guys found Yumi yet?" he asked them.
"Well is she with us?"Ammorie asked.
"I'll call the others."Kimiko said as she pulled out her pink Razor cell.
others
"Kiba! Answer your phone already!"Temari snapped.
"Moshi-moshi." Kiba answered.(Trans: Hello. Used for answering phones.)
"Kiba. Have you guys found Yumi yet?" Kimiko's voice asked.
"No we haven't. But I think we're close. We'll call if we find her."
"Same here. Bye."
-Kim-
"Not yet."
"Call the others and ask them."Sasuke ordered.
-two minutes later-
"Same. "
"This is not good. He could've done something to her already."Sasuke said, starting to slightly panic.
SLAP!
Ammorie had slapped Sasuke across the face,"Get a hold of yourself! "
Sasuke reached up a hand and gently touched his cheek that was starting to turn red.
"Ammorie!'Kimiko gasped," There was no need for that."
"No. She's right...I need to calm down." Sasuke said quietly.
"Good. Now let's hurry to the Sound Dorms."
(Neji and Yumi)
Neji had finally gotten Yumi to his room. The whole time Yumi had been talking to herself.
Neji didn't share a room with anyone 'cuz his last roommate had moved. There was two rooms: one empty with only a bed and the other his. He led her to the second room and locked the door.
"Don't hurt me. I didn't want this. It's not my fault. Help me. It's not my fault."Yumi continued to say.
"What the H are you talking about?"Neji asked as he moved closer to her. He grabbed her arms and moved her over to his bed. "What are you talking about?" he asked again, becoming frustrated that she wasn't answering.
"I didn't do it mommy. I swear. Don't hurt me. It wasn't my fault daddy. Kimara! Help me!"she started screaming as tears started forming in her eyes.
"What is wrong with her? I call her a B . Ask her if she's got a problem with it and then this happens! What is wrong?!"Neji thought. He put his hand on the side of her face, but then realized it was a mistake.
"No! I didn't do it! Kimara! Help me!...Help me." All of a sudden her eyes closed and she fell unconscious.
(Sasuke)
"She's in here!"Sasuke yelled to the others as he ran down the hallway.
"Kimara! Help me!...Help me."He heard from the other side of the door. He quickly opened the door and headed for the second bedroom . "It's locked!"he said as Temari came in. (They all caught up to each other)
"Move!"she growled. Sasuke quickly moved out of her way as she slammed into the door with her shoulder. The door easily opened and they both rushed in.
Neji was knelling on the floor ,by the bed, with Yumi unconscious in his arms.
"What did you do to her?!"Sasuke yelled.
"I didn't do anything! Something's wrong with her in the head!"Neji yelled back.
"Give her to me now."Sasuke growled.
"Fine. Take her. Just tell me what's wrong." he said as he handed her over to him.
"I don't know. But don't do anything to her again or you will pay."Sasuke threatened as he left.
Then Temari walked up to him,"You stay away from her or you'll be answering to me. And trust me, it won't be done with mercy."
Neji gulped,"I'll-I'll remember that."
"Good."Temari said cheerfully as she turned and walked out the door.
-Yumi's room-the whole group is there-except Kiba and Hinata-
"What could be wrong with her?" Ino asked from her spot near the door.
"I wish I knew."Sasuke whispered from his spot next to Yumi. It had be three hours and she had yet to awaken . Every now and then she would stir or say something not understandable. Tsunade-sama had dismissed them all from their classes so they could watch over her. Sasuke had stayed by her side the whole time, never letting go of her hand.
"I know what's wrong."Ammorie spoke up from her place at the picture wall.
"Then tell us!'Sakura ordered.
"It's up to Kiba and Hinata." she said simply. At that moment, Kiba and Hinata came in .
'What's up to us?" Kiba asked.
"Do you want me or you guys to explain what's wrong?"
"You and I can."Hinata said.
"Tell us already. Then we can help her!"Sakura ordered.
"No one can help her completely."Ammorie said,"I should know. It's not exactly the same with me. But it's close enough that I can understand it."
"Go ahead, Ammorie"Hinata insisted as she sat next to Shino and started playing with the butterfly he had.
"Neji somehow triggered a memory that made her like this."Ammorie started. "She has a memory that can cause her to mentally break down when it's remembered . When he triggered that memory, she cracked." she paused a second. "Would you like to tell them the memories Hinata?"
"I guess." She gave the butterfly to Shino and looked at all of them. "It was when she was little and it involved her parents."

"I hate this stupid village!"Yumi growled to herself. "It's always my fault that things happen, even when I didn't do it! " She yelled as she threw a rock into the river. My sisters are the only ones that don't hate me."
-at the house-
"Yumi!! Get your A down here right now!" her mom yelled.
"Coming!" she answered as she quickly wiped away her tears."Yes?" she asked as she came to the living room. Everyone was there: Kimara, Hikari, Kiyoko, mom, and dad. "What's going on?"
"Someone died. In the woods." her father began.
"Who was it? Where in the woods?"she asked as she sat in between Kimara and Hikari.
"We should be asking you that."he mom spoke up.
"How should I know who it was or where ?"
"You're the top suspect of the murder." her father answered again.
"Why me?! I didn't do anything! How should I know anything about it?"
"Kimara, Hikari, Kiyoko! "
"Yes mother?"they answered at the same time.
"Please leave. Your father and I need to talk with her."
"Why do they have to leave?"Yumi asked, scared of what was going to happen.
"They don't need to be here."her mother snapped, her words laced with anger and malice.
-break in flashback-
"What does that have to do with what's wrong with Yumi?"Naruto asked.
"It's her past that made her the way she is right now. She told me that even though her parents hated her, she still loved them. Maybe not as much as some, but it was still love." Kiba spoke up. His face was emotionless but his eyes showed sadness.
"Has this happened anytime before?"Sasuke asked.
Kiba and Hinata looked at each other,"Only once." Kiba answered.
"What happened?"Naruto asked.
"A couple girls had made fun of her. They started beating her up, but she wasn't defending herself like she normally would." Hinata said, hugging herself. Shino put an arm around her and she moved closer to him.
"Why wasn't she?"Ino questioned.
"She was remembering what had happened before. The girls stopped and started becoming confused."
"Then they heard Yumi saying something about it's not her fault and she didn't do it. Then she broke even farther and snapped completely." Kiba continued.
"She took out a kunai and..."Hinata said, her voice quivering," It was a bloodbath. If Sasuke and this other kid hadn't stopped her, the girls would've been killed." she finished, looking over at Sasuke.
"Sasuke?"Sakura said weakly. He was shocked at the memory that had haunted him for some time now. "Sasuke?" Sakura tried again.
"What?"he asked.
"Do you remember that? Do you know who that other kid was?"Sakura asked.
"Unfortunately, I do remember that day. And I think I remember who that kid was."
"Who was it?"Temari asked.
"He's here."someone mumbled.
"Who said that?!"Naruto squeaked.
"I did."Yumi mumbled again as she started to sit up.
Sasuke gently pushed her down, earning himself a growl so he let her sit up. "Who is it?"Temari asked again.
"His name is Azreal Sakamoto. He was friends with us when we were little, but I didn't see him again until my second year here."she explained.
"Now I remember."Sasuke spoke up,"We hung out a lot at..."
"Where?"Kankuro asked curiously.
"At the waterfall."Yumi finished.
"I thought that was familiar." Sasuke realized.
" That's 'cuz we went there almost everyday ."
"How do you guys know about each other's childhood?"Gaara asked.
"We were friends. But we didn't see each other after that night."Sasuke quickly answered.
"What night?"Gaara continued.

Cliffy! Please review! i'll be checking.
" My own parents hate me. Everyone hates me. Just 'cuz of what I can do. "she cried. "
"You're messing with the wrong girl on the wrong day."she growled as she lowered herself into an attack stance.
