Warning: Another Lime/Lemon In Here Somewhere.

Chapter Four: The Dark Oracle Arises

'How could I have let him bed me, and then have him go to the Land of Lightning and let him bed another woman while leaving me here in Konohagakure, pregnant with his baby?'' Thought a very upset Tenten as she tried to get as far away from Neji as possible.

She managed to get to a small wooded area outside of the Village, and sank into her own despair as she slumped against a tree and began to sob, she had been betrayed. She could not trust anyone now. The man she thought she had loved all this time, had betrayed her, had lied through his teeth to her, and in the process had left her pregnant with his child.

'My god I am an idiot, how could I…have let him, I should have known all this time…' Suddenly she heard her name being called, "TENTEN!?!" the voice was that of Neji. As quickly as she could she got back to her feet, and continued into the forest. When she could not hear his voice anymore, she sat back down and let herself have a very good cry.

"I'm so sorry little one, I just can't believe your own father would cheat on me, I still love you…" She said between sobs as she began rubbing her swollen stomach with both her hands, she had to be strong for her child, she would have to raise it alone probably, she would definitely not allow Neji anywhere near her or the baby. He could not be trusted, and she knew this now. She had poured her heart and soul out to him, and he had repaid her in kind by doing this?

Suddenly she felt a gloved hand come around her mouth and another hand grab her around her neck in a headlock. Tenten's eyes widened as she tried to struggle. Apparently she couldn't as the hand around her mouth was coated with what looked to be a powdered sleeping poison. Tenten began to loose consciousness immediately, 'Neji…!' was the only thought she had as she collapsed into the arms of her assailant.

Neji glared icy daggers at the woman who had made him loose his beloved Tenten; he suddenly was boiling in anger, rage and pain, as his body began to shake. Neji then grabbed the stranger and slammed her with bruising force, against the nearest wall of a building, and shouted,

"HOW DARE YOU!?! Do you know what you did?! I lost the only woman that I loved because of your prank…are you HAPPY?!" He wanted to beat this woman to a pulp for making him loose Tenten and upsetting her. But he held back, he then quickly shoved the woman away and immediately went after Tenten, he couldn't let her think that he really had been unfaithful to her. He loved her, and he would make her see that he had been totally faithful to her.

He heard the woman try to talk to him, but he refused to listen to anymore of her deceitful lies or words. He didn't even hear the poofing sound of the Body Flicker behind him as he stomped off.

"TENTEN!" He shouted, looking everywhere in Konohagakure. He then made a handseal as he called out, "Byakugan!" His eyes changed quickly into his Kekkei Genkai as he then took to the roofs and began his search. He fought back tears as he could not find her anywhere after a few minutes of searching.

He suddenly saw one of his ANBU squad members and called down to them, "Hey Yakuio, can you give me a hand here?" He was desperate to find his pregnant fiancée; he felt nausea threaten to take over his stomach and his heart clench as Yakuio quickly answered back,

"Sure, what's going on Neji-Taichou?" The man who was known as simply Tiger's Claw when on duty immediately jumped up on the roof Neji was standing on and waited for his Captain to speak.

"My intended and I had a fight, and I am afraid she has taken off, and might be in danger, can you maybe gather the others in our squad and give me a hand finding her?" He hated to have to use the resources of the ANBU to help find his beloved Tenten, but Neji was desperate, though he was trying his hardest not to show it in front of his team member, plus something didn't smell right at all with this entire situation.

"No problem boss, I'm sure she's fine, I'll round them up and start searching." Said Tiger's Claw and immediately headed off in the direction of the others. Thank goodness Neji had been wearing his ANBU gear when he had decided to go to the meeting with the Hokage. He quickly grabbed his ANBU mask and placed it on and quickly headed for one of the gates of Konoha.

'Please, kami-sama, please don't let anything happen to her, I don't know what will happen if something does…' he pleaded silently to God that Tenten would be alright, and she would listen to reason when he found her.

"Falcon!" Shouted someone in the distance, as Neji continued his search outside of the Village, he had found footprints, which he knew were Tenten's, she had somehow managed to get outside of the village. Neji quickly took off in the direction of the voice. Suddenly Neji had to dodge a flying kunai knife that whizzed and missed his head just a few centimetres short.

Neji glared and before he could reactivate his Kekkei genkai to find out who had shot the Kunai blade at him, he saw something attached to the blade's handle. Neji looked at it for a moment before calling out to his team of ANBU, "EVERYONE assemble back here! I found something!" Almost immediately, Neji was surrounded with the rest of his ANBU squad.

Neji pulled the kunai blade out of the tree it had lodged into and then carefully untied the piece of parchment that had been stuck to it. It wasn't actually parchment but paper that had something written on it. Neji began to read it to himself,

The letter read like this:

'To The ANBU Captain that Killed Ryoku:

We have your precious person, and we will kill her and the unborn child that grows inside of her womb if you do not comply with our demands. Our demands are simplistic, you will give your life up to us, and you will have your Hokage keep his nose out of our business in the Land of Lightning, an eye for an eye is all we want for the loss of Ryoku, and you are the one responsible for his death.

We wish to avoid blood shed and have no wish to kill a pregnant kunoichi, if you so do comply with our demands, you may come to the Land of Waves Great Naruto Bridge to make the trade off, you will come alone also, again we have no wish to kill the kunoichi. You have a month to comply with this letter, or we will be forced to take actions.

Signed

Lord Kiran of the Dark Oracle Society.'

Neji crushed the letter in the palm of his hand; his entire body was shaking now with rage. This had been a ploy, that woman, had been a diversion so that they could take Tenten from him, just because he had killed one of their members with the Divine punishment. 'They will pay for this, all of them! Tenten…I love you…I will come for you, I vow this…' He thought angrily to the sky as he fought back his emotions and the thoughts that were rushing through his head at this very moment.

His team had read the letter when Neji had and the one called Viper spoke up, "Falcon-Taichou, we should report her kidnapping to Hokage-Sama, he will send a search party and bring her back." Neji shook his head and said as he tried to fight back a sob, bitterly at this,

"No, only I can get her back, anyone else that goes, her life would become forfeit, they want me; I was the one that killed their companion who had been the start of this whole ordeal with the Raikage." "It is I that must go and save her, alone. No one follows me, I will leave as soon as I can, and you can inform the Hokage all you want! I will go alone."

Without another word, Neji used the Body flicker Technique to disappear. He reappeared in his apartment and quickly Neji almost collapsed into sadness and dark depression, he knew something like this would happen. Why did they want to threaten those precious to him? He knew his weakness, was Tenten. They had figured out his weakness, and exploited it.

"I must remain calm, and collected, I can not let my emotions get in the way of bringing her back alive and safe." Said Neji to himself as he quickly got to his feet and began packing a small travel bag, he knew he would not return to Konohagakure without his precious Tenten alive and well. As soon as he packed what he needed, he quickly disappeared just as a knock came to his door; the persons, who had knocked, had been Naruto and Hinata.

Tenten awoke to find herself being carried on a strange flying creature's back, and she noticed that it was a giant bird that probably had been summoned by a ninja. Tenten noticed she had a cloth tied around her mouth so she could not speak. She winced as her head was still foggy and under the affects of the sleeping poison that her assailant, another thing she noticed also was that she was laying on her side, and her legs were tied up, but not her hands, how strange.

'I have to get free and warn the Village, I can't let whoever has captured me to kill me or the baby…I won't let anyone hurt the baby!'' thought Tenten fiercely as she tried to get to a sitting position, suddenly she cried out as she was struck by what appeared to be an energy barrier of some kind, like a prison type of jutsu. Tenten fell back onto her side, slight burns beginning to form on her bare arms, seeing she had been wearing a sleeveless maternity shirt and pants at the time of being kidnapped.

"I wouldn't try that again…Tenten of the hated Leaf Village…" said a female voice, "That barrier Jutsu is pretty handy for killing prisoners that are foolish enough to try to strike at it, that's why you probably noticed your hands, it's useless to escape my Chakra Prison Jutsu."

Tenten had to fight off the burning pain in her arms and the cramping pain in her stomach as she felt the baby shifting around. She winced and began whimpering a little. She tried to see who her assailant was, and figure out how she knew who she was. "Who…who are you?" She managed to croak out, as the pain alleviated a little in her womb, finally freeing her mouth from the cloth like muzzle.

"You may call me Meidia the Blade Dancer; I am Lord Kiran's concubine as well as one of his greatest kunoichis." Said the woman. "And where I am taking you, you will regret having been the lover of the man that killed our companion Ryoku." Tenten shuddered at the thought of this bitch being a concubine of the man that had obviously sent to Konohagakure not just to spy, but to exact revenge on her beloved Neji.

"Then your…you're the one that pretended to be…you tried to break me and him Up!?!" Tenten shouted angrily, this woman had posed as someone and pretended to be someone that Neji had, had sex with just to make Tenten angry enough to want to leave Neji. Tears began to spring to her eyes, 'Neji…I…I'm so, so…sorry for making you upset, I was foolish to believe this bitch's words over yours, I maybe too late though…' thought Tenten as she cried silently for awhile.

"If I ever get out of here, I'll make you wish you hadn't messed with Konoha's Greatest Weapon's Mistress, they don't call my deadly skill '100 Accurate' for nothing! I never miss my target!" Shouted Tenten. She whimpered softly as she felt the baby kicking her again, as if agreeing with his mother's words. Tenten was deadly with any type of weapon that she was given. Give her a sword, and she could have an opponent on the ground either dead, or close to it within 5 minutes of fighting.

"I'm not scared of a stupid weakling kunoichi like you, so shut up and await your doom, you worthless nobody…" Shouted Meidia right back, fighting the urge to undo the prison barrier and beating Tenten to within an inch of her life. The girl was pissing her off, it was obvious.

Tenten smirked, "Just bring it; I ain't going to back down!" She shouted back. She was trying to be brave and buy some time, maybe Neji was trying to find her, she could only hope so. She had to remind herself that he probably still loved her, even though she had been a bitch to him, and thought he had indeed cheated on her. If she did indeed get out of here, she would make this woman regret ruining her happiness with Neji, she would turn Meidia into a living pin cushion.

She heard Meidia growl and just totally ignore her. Tenten had to be brave now; she would soon be in the enemies' territory. 'Neji…please hurry, I…I still love you, I hope your coming for both of us…I can't stop loving you, even if I was upset at you.' She cried silently to the ground below her in her thoughts.

Neji leapt over tree branch after tree branch as he headed for the Land of Waves, he knew he had been foolish to run after Tenten, he had thought with his heart and not his brain. That could get him and Tenten both killed if he wasn't careful.

'Perhaps I should have asked for backup.' Thought Neji as he continued heading at a very fast pace towards his destination. Neji just tried to focus his attention on getting to the Land of Waves, and coming up with a plan to rescue Tenten before they could get a chance at killing her and his unborn son. 'Just hold on Tenten, for kami-sama's sake, just hold on…' thought Neji as he continued to leap over tree branches every so often.

Suddenly he could hear his name being called, "NEJI!" Neji frowned as he turned slightly to look behind him; he stopped and landed on a tree branch, as he saw three figures coming his way. He almost immediately recognized them.

Dressed in their ANBU gear, Sasuke and Sakura, and his old team mate, Rock Lee in his usual garish Green jumpsuit, and Jounin vest, had decided to be sent by the Rokudaime to give Neji backup. Neji frowned as he stood there in a crouch as the three of them landed on a tree branch just below the tree he was on, Neji spoke,

"What are you doing here, Uchiha, Haruno, and Lee? I thought I told them to tell the Rokudaime I have to go alone for this."

"And leave you with all the fun, ha, what kind of friends would we be Neji?" said Sasuke with a smirk on his face. He obviously loved killing enemies, especially those who hurt his friends and comrades. Sakura piped up,

"Rokudaime-sama sent me because of my medical knowledge, plus you need the help in case you get injured or Tenten-Chan does, she's my friend too Neji, I want to help her. What she said back in Naruto's office struck me deeply too."

Neji could understand those two coming, but why had Lee volunteered also? Neji turned to him and spoke, "That still does not explain you being present Lee." He tried to be his usual stoic self.

"I came here, because I made a vow to Tenten, she is like my own sister, I vowed to make sure she and my future god child is safe and always protected. I can not allow her kidnappers to do away with her, my god child or my best friend either, Neji…we are also a team." Said Lee sternly. He had a fierce look in his eyes and on his goofy looking face as well. He wasn't just concerned for Tenten or his god child but for Neji as well.

Neji felt the stress starting to slowly drain, he should have known he could rely on them, his friends cared for his and Tenten's safety, and in a way it touched him. Neji sighed and said, "Fine, let's get going, I figured if I was to ask for back up, I'd asked you three anyway to come with me." "I assume the Rokudaime will send in other ANBU when he can spare more?" He said this as he quickly headed off in the direction of the Land of Waves.

"You kind of pissed Naruto off by running off like that, Neji, not that it wasn't a little hilarious to watch him stomping around his office, yelling for the three of us to go after you and give you back up." Said Sasuke with a smirk again plastered to his face. Immediately Neji heard a grunt as he was elbowed by Sakura. Neji chuckled a little, feeling the stress melt slightly away from his chest.

"I am sure he is cussing to every god there possibly is, right now." Said Neji, knowing Naruto, one of his other best friends, and certainly one of the most influential as well, he was indeed probably swearing more then a Hokage should be at this moment.

"'Fucking hell, you guys better fucking go get him back, or go be his back up or blah, blah, blah, ttebyo…'" said Sasuke comically repeating what Naruto had said to them. Sakura and even Neji could not help themselves as they all bursted out laughing at Sasuke's joke about their Hokage. Lee was laughing the hardest, it was so true how Naruto always acted, even if he had managed to grow up and be mature, he still had that rebel type of streak in him.

Neji tried to hide a small smile, Sasuke was probably trying to help Neji relax a little, by doing comical impressions of Naruto behind Naruto's back of course. 'Thank you Sasuke...' he thought towards Sasuke as he continued to leap onto tree branches every so often, as they continued their journey to bring back his Tenten, 'My stress is already starting to go away, I can probably concentrate a little better now…'

"Can't we just kill her now and be done with it?" Shouted Meidia to Kiran as the woman had managed to reach the Land of Waves and one of the many hideouts of the Dark Oracle Society in almost record timing, it had only taken a day by flight on her giant Lightning bird summon to get there.

Tenten had been immediately placed under the Temple of Nirvana Jutsu, which was a sleeping jutsu that placed the victim into a deep sleep, until someone could wake them up by either the proper way of releasing Genjutsu or by causing them enough pain to bring them out of it, when Meidia had arrived in their hideout.

"No, you can not kill her! She is important; we do not want to cause more bloodshed!" Shouted Kiran as he backhanded Meidia across the face, sending the woman across the room. Kiran turned when he heard a moan of pain escape from his prisoner's lips, which was now locked up in a cell, deep underground near the closest village and only village in the Land of Waves.

Kiran walked over to Tenten's side and touched her slight sweat drenched forehead for a moment. The Genjutsu was supposed to keep her asleep, perhaps the girl had just moaned in pain because of the child stirring inside of her womb. Kiran shook his head and then walked out of Tenten's cell and closed the door, locking it with a special seal. He then stormed over to Meidia and grabbed her by the scruff of her shirt and lifted her with ease to stare into her face angrily.

He had accidentally busted her lip open; blood was seen trailing down the corner of her mouth, as the girl cringed in front of her powerful Master. Kiran sighed, and leaned his face closer and kissed her gently, "You can't disobey my orders, my lovely Meidia, you did excellent in dividing these two, and bringing me the girl, he will come after her, or at least for the child. Hyuuga maybe monsters when it comes to showing their emotions, but they do have a heart at times." He tried to say soothingly as he let go of her shirt and instead hugged her tightly to him.

Meidia spoke, "Forgive me Lord Kiran, for my outburst, it did not belong there, you are right, this is the only way we can get revenge and continue your great plan to bring this Shinobi world to it's knees."

Kiran had to smile at how smart his little Concubine was; she knew exactly how to please and displease him it seemed. Kiran stroked her cheek and nodded, "Yes, now…go to my room, I will be there shortly, we will be having a guest soon, and that guest will never leave here ever again."

Meidia nodded, "Hai, Kiran-sama!" snapped the girl as she quickly headed up the stairs and out of the prison area. She was beginning to get worried that Kiran wanted Tenten more then he lead to say he did. Why else would he have captured her, if not to make her his? Had Meidia displeased her master that much, that he wanted someone to replace her?

Meidia frowned, and shook her head, of course not. He had raised her and had taken him under his wing to do his bidding. Yes she did fail once or twice, but that wouldn't make him hate her would it? She would have to wait and see what his intentions for Tenten were other then to use her as bait.

Kiran looked towards his prisoner's cell door for a few minutes, and pondered now that he had her, perhaps after killing her boyfriend, he would replace his useless current Concubine. He would see after everything was dealt with. Suddenly he felt someone behind him, and a smirk played on his lips.

"Yes…what is it Yashiro, come to tell me I should leave this place soon so that I do not get killed?" The man spoke up, "Yes, Kiran-Sama, those Konohagakure Shinobi are dangerous, especially the Hyuuga that you have obviously angered, allow me to be your body double, while you make your escape, the Dark Oracle Society can not survive without your leadership."

Kiran sighed, Yashiro…he was being a loyal servant to him; Kiran had to give him credit for that. Yashiro had been like a brother to him, always concerned for whenever something went wrong. Kiran then said,

"Yashiro, if I die, you will lead the Dark Oracle Society to our victory, I have trained you and groomed you for the position, I will be fine, I can take on a simple Hyuuga, I already studied their feared '360 Degree Vision' when I killed that Hyuuga kunoichi 3 years back. There is nothing to fear from them…you will simply take over if I do become overwhelmed and do by accident die, it is very simple indeed, my dear comrade."

The one called Yashiro sighed and bowed his head, "Yes Kiran-Sama, I will obey you then, long live the Dark Oracle Society and your will…milord." Said Yashiro half proudly and half defeated sounding. Kiran smirked and watched as the man left him alone. Kiran began walking up to his room, where is little Meidia was probably awaiting him.

Once he was there, he saw that she was indeed waiting for him, on his bed. Kiran removed his robe and the top half of his outfit and crawled into his bed and grabbed Meidia and pulled her close. He spoke to her against her ear as he began kissing her,

"Meidia, I want you to leave the Land of Waves and go to Kusagakure and hide there, become friends with the daimyo, use your feminine willies on him, I want you to gain his trust, this will make it easier for us to gain control of the Land of Grass that way, we can then over throw their daimyo easily."

"Yes Kiran-sama…" gasped Meidia as she began to squirm under his kissing of her ear. Kiran smirked and began his work on removing what clothing she was wearing carefully. Perhaps just for today he would prolong their 'session' a little, he probably would not see his precious Meidia for a long time after all, he would have to find someone else to vent his sexual frustrations on, when the need arose.

Kiran then began to kiss Meidia's neck and then her collarbone. He felt her wiggle underneath his body, and began to press himself closer to her thrashing body as he went even further down with his kissing. Taking one of her breasts into his mouth, his hands began wander down her thin body.

He took his time with her after a few extra minutes of prolonged foreplay before he grabbed her hips and buried himself deep into her and continued to pound into her until both were satiated and content with each other. Kiran laid himself gently against her sweat slickened nude body, panting and covered in his own sweat.

Meidia spoke up after a few minutes, "You never stop amazing me Kiran-sama…" She then wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a shy kiss on the mouth. Kiran smirked and returned the kiss and then decided to have another go at her. He whispered into her ear as he thrusted hard into her once again,

"I am not done just yet, my dear…" He purred softly as he listened to her cry out again. This round only lasted about 5 minutes before Kiran was spent and laying beside his now sleeping Concubine. Kiran slowly got up and cleaned himself up by taking a hot bath, allowing himself to soak in the warm water for awhile.

It always helped him think; he would perhaps instead keep Meidia here instead and send one of his other female kunoichis that served him to do the daimyo job or better yet, tempt the Kazekage of Sunagakure instead of the Leader of the Grass Village. Meidia probably had already revealed her face to the enemy, so if a Leaf Ninja were to visit their allies and see her there, then it would be disaster for the Dark Oracle Society.

'Yes it is for the best, I will send Kaede instead of my stupid Concubine, who can't keep her mouth shut. I hope the Hyuuga kills her, I've grown tired of her.' And indeed he had grown sick and tired of the woman. She had become too needy, too much of a failure. He needed someone else to be at his side and someone who would do as he asked without any screw ups.

He immediately had Kaede come and present herself to him, even though he was in the bath, naked, the water and steam managed to hide his most private of places, as the dark magenta haired girl appeared in front of him. She wore her slashed Hitai-ate headband around the back of her head.

The kunoichi bowed her head, "What is it you wish for my God and Lord?" Kaede always treated him like a god of some sort it seemed. Kiran had to remind her constantly not to call him a god, oh not yet anyway. Kiran sighed and said in almost an annoyed tone,

"I wish you would stop calling me that Kaede-Chan, I have a mission for you, and it involves becoming close to one of our enemies…"

"Wherever my lord wishes me to go, I will go, and kill whoever it is for him." Said Kaede in a cold unemotional voice. Kiran liked her attitude, she was a lot better then his whiny Meidia that was for sure.

Kiran moved so he was closer to her and grabbed her chin, and stared deeply into her eyes,

"I want you to become close to the Kazekage of Sunagakure, his name is Gaara, you will pose as a Lady, which I know now the Village of Sunagakure is attempting to find the perfect mate for their Kazekage now that he is a full adult." "You will be that chosen girl, so you will have to be sure to be there when they make the choosing, now go and hurry up and get there. It will be easier to gain that Village's trust, and we can kill him when the time is right."

"Yes Kiran-sama, as you wish." Said Kaede who bowed her head again and quickly disappeared without another trace or sound, Kiran was indeed going to make his plans work by sending Kaede to deal with Gaara. No one could resist Kaede's charm, or the fact she was a beautiful singer, which was one of her personal assets, she could lull an enemy to sleep just by using her voice.

It had been said her Clan were once said to be of Siren blood, basically water like creatures that lulled their victims with their voices, to be killed and devoured. But in the case of Kaede's clan, it made their enemies easier to kill. Kiran always made sure most of his minions had valuable skills that he could use when he needed them.

"Do not fail me Kaede…" He whispered to the air, "You know the punishment for failure…" He then sunk back into the warm water to finish his bath. He knew Kaede would not fail him, she had been a particular favourite of his, and he had ways of making sure of her obedience. Kiran smirked to himself as he began to think of his dreams and plans for the future.

His entire organization, obeyed him without question, and Kiran was glad of this. Because if he did end up dying in this encounter, which was very unlikely, the next in line would make sure to continue on the Dark Oracle Society's ambitions and his will, even without him. With this in his mind, Kiran got up out of the bath and headed back to his room to sleep.
