Tenten's Hero
Chapter 22- Expected visitors
Senryu: I wasn't going to do this but since it was requested here is a chapter dedicated to Tenten.
Shiirya: We don't own Naruto. Please review.
Tenten tended to her arm in the darkness of her new prison. Her escape plan would have worked.
She gritted her teeth.
In reality he caught her before the girl even got out of her cell. As a reward for her rebellious attitude; Tenten received a broken arm, no meals for a week, and a new cell that was even smaller than her last one. In addition to the cramp space of her cell, there was no window or lighting in her cell which meant it was dark, really dark. The only source of lighting was a barred window on the entrance to her prison which gave her a lovely view a dim foul smelling hallway. After a while Tenten even lost tract of whether it was day or night.
She sighed. That was her fifth attempt to escape.
'It's a miracle my neck is still attached to my body…'
Tenten knew that Sasuke couldn't kill her. If he could she would have been dead a long time ago. He needed her for something.
'But' she reasoned.
'He could do a lot worse to me than starvation and a broken arm. Why would he hold back?'
She froze. There were footsteps coming toward her cell. They stopped in front of her door. Tenten tensed, ready to pounce out at whoever was on the other side of the door. After two minutes past she relaxed a little. The person seemed to have gone.
"You shouldn't relax yet Ten, I'm still here".
Tenten turned around, panicking. He was in her cell, somewhere. The girl could see absolutely nothing in the darkness, but she could hear him moving.
'Behind me!'
She spun around.
"Too late." He smirked. Sasuke grabbed the wrist of her broken arm, and pushed the girl into the stone wall, hard. Sasuke stood an inch away from her face. He whispered into her ear.
"We're expecting visitors from Konoha."
Tenten felt her heart beat quicken, yet she remained silent.
Sasuke smiled.
"Don't get excited yet, we already sent someone to take care of them."
She frowned in the darkness.
"Why are you telling me this?"
He laughed.
"I'm afraid that we are going to have to use you as bait."
Tenten gasped and tried to brake free of his grasp but to no avail. Without a sound the Uchiha took out a drugging needle and plunged it into Tenten's neck. Within a few seconds, Tenten fell to the stone floor, unconscious.
Sasuke smiled.
"Our guest should be arriving in a couple of days, we'll give them a nice warm welcome eh Tenten?"
------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke sighed in annoyance as a man approached him, bowing.
"Well, what do you want…?!"
The man smiled.
"Just a report on the Konoha team."
Sasuke smirked.
"Well…?"
"It's been conformed that they've reached the town of Nami. All the members have been documented. Uzumaki Naruto, Tonton, Yamanaka Ino, Hyuuga Neji, Mikomi, Nara Shikamaru, Hyuuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba, a sparrow, and…"
Sasuke frowned, impatiently.
"And…?"
"…Haruno Sakura…"
Sasuke laughed to himself. This was working out to his advantage.
"Did you send him after them?"
The man smiled with malice.
"He should be arriving in Nami any minute now."
Sasuke frowned.
"Make sure he gets on a ship with them. I want this to go perfectly understand?!"
The man nodded and bowed before exiting the room.
"Of coarse."
