Chapter Two: Is that the truth?
Dizzy, Temari woke from her slumber. Weakly she looked up to see nothing but darkness that was surrounding her. She had been chained to wall so tight that she could hardly move her arms and ankles.
Though feeling almost completely weakened she was still able to finish glimpsing around. All she could see was darkness.
Step Step Step
She jumped a little at the sound that echoed in the empty space.
Step Step Step
They were getting closer. Getting near. Temari began to shake wondering what was going to happen to her. She closed her eyes.
...
They stopped. Trying to calm herself down she opened her eyes only to be greeted with a pair of red sharingan. A Uchiha.
"Hello Temari." He said in an emotionless voice. Temari held in her yelp as she felt his warm breath brush up against her face.
"Uchiha." She growled.
"Great. We know each other."
"What do you want Uchiha?!" Temari spat with anger in her tone. "Why have you brought me here?! Why- "
"It would be a lot smarter to watch your tone." The Uchiha told her placing his finger over her mouth. "Besides I just want to talk."
"I'm not telling you anything!!"
"I knew you might say something like that. But, I'm always convening."
Soon Temari's vision came back but this wasn't what she wanted to see. She was strapped to a cross surrounded by many males. All with black raven hair tied back into a low ponytail wearing a black uniform decorated with red clouds. In their hands they all held whips.
"Your 72 hours of torture starts now."
Temari gulped.

Kankuro slammed his hands on the desk. "She's been missing for days!! We've searched everywhere for her!!"
Tsunade was startled as she spilled some of her tea on the carpet.
"You've got to help us!!"
Tsunade placed the teacup on her desk. This would explain why the two came with only one phone call, no organized plans and why they made it there in two days instead of three. And why they went straight to her office right in the middle of an important discussion with some Chuunin. She cleared her thoughts. Now wasn't the time for that.
"Please calm down Kankuro-san. I know your upset. I'll try to get our best Chuunin, but we're having a bit of a problem of our own." Kankuro bit his lip. "You two just keep on looking. Just don't go searching too far without escorts alright? Temari's kidnapers could still be out there looking for you as well Gaara-sama."
Gaara kept his head low and replied with a weak yes. He and Kankuro exited.
Pressing a button on her desk she spoke. "Hey, send me Naruto."

Temari hung there limp. She couldn't take much more of this. She could still feel the pain of the whips hitting her in all places.
"I can see your suffering a lot faster than others, Listen to what I have to say and I'll stop." Uchiha told her, smirking.
No answer.
"You will answer me when I'm talking to you!!" he yelled lifting up her chin.
Drip
Blood tickled down Temari's cheeks as she slowly blinked staring into his cold eyes. He could sense she was tired and very weak but that wasn't going to stop him.
"F-fine.." Temari managed to muster out.
"Thats a good girl. Now then, tell me a little about Gaara."
"W-what do you want t-to know a-about him? B-because I-I'm not t-telling you anything."
Slap
Temari's head swung to the side as her blood stained the walls. "You will tell me what I need to know!" the Uchiha demanded.
"No!" her voice seemed to be growing stronger now. " Gaara is important to the village. Our village!! I don't care what you want with him! I won't let you hurt him!!"
"Foolish girl!! Why would you stand up and protect a monster like that?"
"He's not a monster, He's my little brother and I care about him!!"
"Is that the truth?" Itachi asked as he crossed his arms. "After all he did to you in the past do you care for him? Are you just saying that because protecting him is your job?"
"No."
"Don't you want to get back at him for ruining your life?"
"No!"
"Are you scared that you couldn't live up to his expectations and he'll kill you?"
"NO!! Gaara's not like that anymore! He's changed."
"Are you sure? Are you sure he's not going to come after you?"
"Stop it!! Stop it!!" Temari thrashed around on the wall trying to cover her ears. The chains made a deathly chime on the walls. "No!! He'd never do that!" She began to slow down. "He'd never do that..."
She slowly lost consciousness (again) from using the rest of her energy. The Uchiha just stood in front of her with his smirk.
"Perfect."
