Gaara: Since Shea is still keeping me hostage in a cardboard box, she obviously does not own Naruto, otherwise she would at least have enough money to feed me... damned kid...


Chapter Eight: Double Kidnap ?

Kiba woke up with a sweat, remembering his dream from last night.

(The dream is in Kiba's Point of View)

The snow had began slackening for quite some time now. I rushed into the small one-room house, out of breathe. "Sakura !" I roared, waiting to hear a reply, or a cry, or anything.

Sasuke walked through the door behind me. He only came to look for his brother, we all knew that. Ino and Shikamaru had followed Sasuke into the house. Naruto and Hinata were inspecting the outside of the house, making sure it wasn't a trap.

The room was not a colorful one, that was for sure. The wallk were painting gray, and the floor was just cement. One small window was located in the back of the room, but the glass was tainted a dark gray color. There were pieces of ripped rope layed limply on the ground.

"Are you sure it's here ?" I asked Sasuke, getting agitated.

"Yeah. Maybe they already left." He said cooly.

"Already left ! Then where the hell is Sakura !?!" I roared, while Akamaru bared his teeth.

Sasuke shrugged. "I dunno... they probably left a trail somewhere."

I punched the wall.

'Dammit ! I had her, and I lost her !' I thought to myself.

The group of us ran outside, searching for clues. The trees and ground were covered in snow, there wasn't a trace of plants or life anywhere. The snow had now completely stopped falling.

"Sakura !" I yelled, running to nowhere. If I could just find her, and hold her once more.

"Sakura !" I yelled again. Then I saw her.

I saw a glimpse of pink-hair from the corner of my eye. I immediately ran towards it, praying to find my beloved Sakura. But what I saw was a dead Sakura, laying limply on the ground.

There was no life in her eyes. I kneeled down on the ground, and touched her face. It was ice cold. I had... lost her.

"Sakura... no..." I whispered, hugging the girl. She was gone. I had lost her... forever.

"NO !" I screamed again.

Kiba sat up, whiping the sweat off his face. His dream had scared the living hell out of him, and he was sure he wouldn't forget it soon.

Sasuke was already up and waiting for his other, in his opinion, pathetic companions. Naruto was too much of a pest, Kiba was emotionally screwed up ever since Sakura went missing, and Ino was a pain.

Ino was exhausted, still laying near Shikamaru. 'If we have to walk for that long like yesterday, I will surely die.' She thought to herself. She was surprised Shikamaru would come along, she though he'd be too lazy to bother, but she had thought wrong apparently.

Hinata was tired and hungry, but she wasn't going to complain to anyone, especially with Naruto there, making her even more nervous. As long as she stayed strong and didn't do anything too embarrassing, she figured she would be okay.

"I'm... so...hungry... must... have... ramen..." Naruto said, rubbing his stomach.

"I'll make breakfast..." Hinata said, shyly, looking down at her feet.

"That'd be great !" Naruto said, hugging the girl.

Hinata had cleverly pocketed some food when they were inside the dome, took it out, and began cooking it.

Kiba's stomach growled. He was starving, although he wouldn't dare admit it in front of that pretty-boy Sasuke. The only reason why he was follwing the kid was because he needed to find Sakura.He no longer just wanted to, he now needed to. He would never be able to live with himself if he couldn't find her.

Gaara and the Sand Siblings stood a few feet away from the mouth of the cave.

"Gaara, shouldn't we go ahead and find the girl first ?" Temari asked, still tired from staying up nearly all night. Spying on a bunch of teenagers was hard work.

"Fine. Do you know where the girl is then." Gaara asked, expecting the answer to be a no.

"Well, we can search. So far they have been travelling in a straight direction, and I thought when I went ahead a little bit I saw a little house or hut. Why don't we go look there while they're eating ?" Temari suggested.

Gaara sighed. "Fine." He said, jumping from one tree to the next. Temari and Kankura silently followed him.

"Do you think he's seriously going after that girl, Sakura, for revenge ?" Kankuro queried.

"Doubt it. I think he has some feelings for her. Did you see when he saved her ass back at the dome ?" Temari said, smirking.

"Yeah. Gaara is growing up so fast." Kankuro said, brushing a fake tear out of his eye.

"What are you talking about ?" Gaara said, over-hearing their conversation.

"Nothing." Temari said, smiling.

"I heard you, you know. And I don't like her. I'm using her for revenge." Gaara said, getting closer towards the house.

"Okay Gaara, sure." Kankuro said, smiling. Gaara would have killed him if he wasn't in such a great mood at the moment. Let's just say Kankuro was very lucky.

The Sand Siblings had finally reached their destination, the small house. Gaara quickly opened the door, and the unexpecting Itachi turned around in confusion.

'Damn... I should have scenced their chakra.' He thought to himself.

Gaara immediately knocked-out the young man with his sand, and threw him to the side. Sakura thought he was saving her, a smile was planted on her face. But was that really the case ?

Gaara began feeling confused. He kept telling himself he didn't like her... but did he ? Could he really kidnap her ?

'JUST DO IT.' Gaara thought to himself. He sighed, looked back at Temari and Kankuro who were whispering behind his back and smiling.

'Those bastards. They still think I like her.' He thought to himself again.

"Well... what are you waiting for ?" Temari asked sweetly.

"We're waiting for them." Gaara replied with a bored expression. Temari just turned back to Kankuro and starting whispering again.

... (with Kiba)

"We made it ! Let's go in !" Ino shouted enthusiastically. After a good breakfast, the group had walked a much quicker pase and reached the house, where Itachi was supposively hiding out in.

Kiba ran up and opened the door with caution. He saw Sakura sitting on the ground, with a knocked-out Itachi by the wall. He immediately ran over to the tired girl, and ferociously bit through the ropes holding Sakura down. Sasuke stood by the door, looking around the room.

"Something's not right..." He said to himself. Sasuke heard a blood-thristy laugh come from behind him.

"Why aren't you right." Gaara said, bits of sand whirling around him. The two were about to battle when the ground crumbled beneath their feet.

Everyone was now laying on the ground of an underground maze-type thing. There were walls, traps, holes and ladders everywhere. Sakura and Kiba were seperated during the fall, there was now a solid, unbreakable wall in between them.

'Dammit !' Kiba thought to himself, pounding a fist on the wall.

Gaara was standing behind him, annoyed that the sudden fall had ruined his plan.

"Someone probably planned this." Gaara said, more to himself than to Kiba.

'My plan is working...' Itachi thought to himself, hearing the voices behind a wall. A smile appeared on his face. "Come and play in the maze children." He said, before running off trying to track them down.


Well, that was chapter eight. And the plot thickens ! Dun dun dannn... I actually did not plan that to happen, the idea just popped into my head so I went with it. I really hope you enjoyed this chapter, and I am once again so sorry for not updating in a while ! My internet went down for two days, and yesterday I had tons and tons of homework. I will try to update some more.

Gaara: R&R. Or else.
