Chapter 3: Escape?

Sasuke, Neji and Shikamaru looked up at the ceiling, towards the vent. They all looked at each other, watching each other trying to see what the other was thinking.

"Shikamaru should be on bottom" Neji said Sasuke nodded

"One of you 2 would the best for the bottom "Neji and Sasuke looked at each and nodded. They both held out there fists, and got ready. "Draw" Sasuke and Neji kept there fists out

"Ha paper beats rock Uchiha" Neji said

"Crack head" Sasuke muttered

"What did you say Uchiha?" Neji asked

"Not you the lazy crack head" he said pointing at Shikamaru

"What me? You drunken bum" Shikamaru retorted

"Yeah right, am not the one inhaling acids"

"Am not the one who drinks and losses the control over my own body"

"Would you 2 shut up for 2 seconds" Sasuke and Shikamaru both looked at Neji weirdly "finally look Uchiha's on the bottom am in the middle and Shikamaru is on the top got it"

"Hn" Shikamaru nodded Sasuke stood below the vent and Neji climbed on top of him and Shikamaru on top of him.

10 minutes later...

"Would you hurry up "Sasuke Said

"There are screw's I have to undo" Shikamaru replied

"Well do it faster this isn't easy holding both of you up" Sasuke complained

"Shut up Uchiha" Neji said Sasuke just looked towards the door. Shikamaru got the screws out a few minutes later and the top for the vent crashed to the floor. Shikamaru climbed up into the vent.

"Ok am good come on Neji" Shikamaru said lowering one hand for Neji to grab. It took a couple of times before Neji could grab it. With some help from Sasuke Shikamaru pulled Neji up into the vent. Neji nodded once he was in the vent and Shikamaru crawled farther down the shaft.

"Now how am I supposed to get up there?" Sasuke asked

"Get something to stand on Uchiha" Neji said and after muttering a few curses Sasuke returned with a chair. Neji lowered his hand and Sasuke grabbed it, Neji was in the process of pulling Sasuke up when Shikamaru came back.

"We have a problem" he said

"can it wait" Neji replied and Shikamaru helped him bring Sasuke up to the vent.

"What is it crack head?" Sasuke asked Shikamaru ignored Sasuke's insult.

"There's a fire and I think it's near the girl's room" Shikamaru said

"Ok how are we going to get them?" Neji asked

"like how we got out we'll have to get each one separately" Shikamaru replied

"Ok I'll get Sakura" Sasuke said

"I'll get Ten-ten" Neji said

"I'll get Ino and we'll all meet at Hinata's room"

"Ok"

"Hn" the 3 headed for each room. They all had the same thing on there mind, hoping the girls were fine.


With Sasuke,

Sasuke was crawling along the vent, looking through the openings to make sure that he was going the right way. He finally found Sakura's room, he almost had a fit when he saw that there were flames in her room. He quickly undid the screws the vent cover fell to the ground. Sasuke jumped down thankful that the flames were just near the door. He noticed Sakura slumped on the floor unconscious, he didn't bother trying to wake her. Sasuke just picked her up and put her on his shoulder. Now he had to figure out how to get back to the vent. Sasuke thought for a minute, then he got it. He gathered his chakra to the soles of his feet and walked up the wall and onto the ceiling to the vent. He put Sakura in it then climbed in him self. Sasuke held Sakura and shook her gently.

"Sakura come on wake up, come on we have to keep moving" she moved her head and groaned "come on Sakura this is no time to place games" Sakura slowly opened her eyes, and stared at the side of the vent. "Sakura let's go we have to move" Sasuke urged her, Sakura sat up and looked at him in bewilderment. Sasuke started crawling down the vent towards Hinata's room, Sakura followed without question.

"What happened I we were trapped but,...?"

"Shikamaru Neji and I escaped through the vents and found that there was a fire so we each went and got one of you?" As Sasuke finished Neji appeared with Ten-ten behind him and Shikamaru with Ino behind him. The 6 of them headed for Hinata's room. They undid the screws to Hinata's room. Hinata was against the wall the flames were surrounding her. Neji walked on the ceiling same as Sasuke did before, Neji walked down the wall and reached out his hand which Hinata grabbed. Neji then brought Hinata back to the vent, Hinata had a few minor burns so did Neji, though his hair was a couple inches shorter now. But they knew they had to move so it went Neji, Ten-ten, Hinata, Shikamaru, Ino, Sakura, and Sasuke.

Once they reach the living room, the guys worked to undo the screws. Neji, Shikamaru, and Sasuke got out first and caught the girls as they jumped down. There hopes of leaving died when they saw another metal door, and bars in the windows.

"How do we get out now?" Ino asked, everyone looked at her like she was stupid

"Sasuke you can do fire Justus's right?" Shikamaru asked

"Hn"

"Ok Sasuke start heating that up" he said pointing to the door, Sasuke didn't want to take orders but he was the only one with a plan. "Sakura Ino go get water from the kitchen" the two nodded and ran off to the kitchen. When they came back, Shikamaru told Sasuke to stop and had the girls pour water on where he was just using the jutsu. It made a small hole in the door.

"What was that?" Hinata said because she heard a scratching noise coming from the other side of the door.
