Not So Proper Young Ladies

The boys were deep in a forest that was thick with tree roots and with the darkness it made it difficult to move quickly after the kidnapped girls. However this also meant that the suitors/kidnappers had to move slower, Neji had confirmed this for them. It was very silent among them with only an occasional statement exchanged.

With the girls it was much louder as the four kidnappers had to struggle to keep a tight hold on them and navigate through the think foliage; they cursed out loud many times. At first the girls had fought back, as planed, just as any normal person would have done. Then they quit out of pretend exhaustion and were currently having very loud mental conversations as they tried to come up with a logical explanation as to why it was the suitors that has captured them.

'What is going on?' Tenten thought to herself 'Okay so let's think this through. The whole time the kidnappers had been the suitors, which means they had probably planned the whole thing out. So there never really were any real suitors.' She reasoned this out and it made a good amount of since. 'Wait this means I nearly killed myself learning to dance, and cook, serve and all that other stuff for nothing!' it was clear that Tenten was upset about this and when her un-happiness was built up she took it out by causing physical pain to others. She began hoping that they would figure out it wasn't really the princesses they had snatched just so she could fight. They kidnapper who was carrying her tripped over one of many tree roots and dropped her to the ground. 'We can't even get smart kidnappers! I mean really kidnappers are supposed to make a quick escape to their hideout, so why put it in the middle of some of the thickest woods ever see.'

He roughly picked Tenten back up and tossed her over his shoulder. From this new position she could see the outlines of her friends in the darkness, Sakura and Ino both looked as angry as she felt and Hinata just looked shocked that she had been kidnapped by a seemingly respectable suitor.

"We're almost there" One of the men stated "That's it there" He was pointing to a medium sized, concrete building just visible through the dense trees. A few minutes later they were walking through the wooden door of the concrete building and the girls were tossed on to the dirt floor. After sensing that the kidnappers had walked far enough away Sakura started whispering something to them.

"Did any of you see this coming?"

"Well I didn't like them from the beginning" Ino said straitening out her dress "but didn't expect this"

"Neither did I" Tenten said. She looked over at Hinata who was staring in the direction of the men.

"What's up Hinata?" Sakura asked

"When I turn eighteen and my father starts lining up suitors I'm having him run back round checks" She answered in all seriousness but still put a smile on the other girls' faces.

"What do you think they want from us?" Ino asked

"I'm guessing ransom money but if that's not it I'm sure were about to find out" Tenten said. She was watching the men coming back to them.

"So how are you all feeling?" One of them asked in a sarcastic tone. They didn't respond to him.

"Now I thought it was proper for a lady to answer when asked a question by a gentleman" Another one of them said.

'Yes well you are not exactly gentlemen' Tenten thought.

"We'll then I guess well just move on" He said when he noticed they would not respond to him "I am assuming you four are educated enough to realize that yes we did take you captive for ransom" He received nods from them. He was now kneeling down to speak to them face to face. Sakura was seated of the floor closest to him. He stopped speaking and examined her for a minute before reaching out for the chain of her necklace. He looked more closely at it before yanking it roughly from her neck.

"Oww" She shouted.

"Well we know that this one speaks" The man said "You three have necklaces like these, give them to us" After looking at each other all thinking the same thing Hinata, Ino and Tenten removed their necklaces, dropping them into his outstretched hand. They walked away again to examine them.

"You think they'll realize that they're trackers?" Hinata asked quietly.

"I don't know they might, but they don't seem to be the smartest bunch now do they." Sakura whispered back rubbing her neck.

"You make a good point" Ino said.

"Hey guys look." Tenten was not looking at them but staring at the four men. They had turned back to them with glares. "I think they noticed"

"You know it doesn't matter how many guards you have following you, we actually want them to come they can send back word of the ransom."

'Do they still not realize we aren't the princesses?' Tenten thought.

"Do you really think you're going to get any ransom for us" Ino said. The men looked at her skeptically, the girls wanted to hit her.

"Is there any reason we wouldn't?" One of the men asked advancing on them.

"Well hello were just regular kunoichi here" Sakura hit the back of her best friend's head.

"Blonde moment much" She yelled as the guys just stared at them shocked.

"What?"

"They didn't know we aren't the real ones" Tenten said. Ino came to the realization of what she had done about the same time the men made since of what she had said.

"Oops"

In the woods

"Are we almost there, I think we may have lost them?" Naruto asked as he once again tripped over another tree root.

"Naruto do you have any since of coordination?" Shikamaru asked the blonde haired boy as he and Chouji pulled him back up on his feet.

"No he doesn't" Sasuke answered for him. Naruto glared at him and was about to retort when Shino told him to drop it. Reluctantly he did drop it but questioned them again.

"Whatever, did we lose them or not?" They turned to Neji who was supposed to be keeping track of them but he was looking back in the direction they had just come from.

"What is it?" Lee asked.

"Come out now!" Neji said loudly.

"Is someone back there?" Kiba asked. From behind the trees and to the boys' surprise four princesses stumbled out, still dressed in their normal girls clothing with Suzu trailing behind them.

"What are you four doing here; do you realize how dangerous this is?"

Yukiko, Akiko, and Natsumi all backed away a bit leaving Harumi to answer the question. "We…well we just fe…felt bad the others had to be kidd…kidnapped because of us" She stuttered out staring at the ground. "We wanted to make sure they would be okay."

The boys still looked to be in a state of shock when finally Sasuke spoke. "What are we supposed to do with them, we don't have time to bring them all the way back."

"We could just take them along the building they stopped at is not that much farther ahead, we'll just have to keep them out of danger" Neji said.

"Are you mad at us?" Yukiko asked also starring directly at the forest floor as if it were the most interesting thing in the world.

The boys sighed. No they weren't mad but this did make the situation more complicated then it already was. Suddenly a noise could be heard coming from Sasuke's pocket. He pulled out the communication device that was matched to the one Sakura had been given. They all crowded around to listen to her speak.

"Where are you guys, we could use a little bit of back up?" Sakura was shouting.

"We've run into a slight problem?" Sasuke said.

"What?"

"Hey Sakura" The four princesses chimed into the communicator.

There was silence. Then…

"WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING THERE?!"

"Please don't be mad" Harumi said.

"Ahhh, okay well figure out what you guys are going to do and hurry, Tenten and Hinata are fighting off two of the guys and Ino took over another so she could fight the last one and leave me free to call but I think reinforcements may be on their way" Sakura sounded panic.

"Alright just hold them off" Naruto said.

"Oka-Hinata move" Sakura suddenly shouted and then shouted something that sounded a lot like 'Tenten' before the communicator went dead.

"That's not good"

"Lets go it's this way" Neji said and they started off in the right direction as quickly as possible.

Back at the hideout

The reinforcements had arrived out of no where while Sakura had been talking. One of them had turned to use a surprise attack on Hinata but Tenten had gotten in the way. Whatever it was that the reinforcement had used had enough force to throw her back against the concrete wall and nock her unconscious. It didn't help that Ino's lifeless body was endanger of being trampled on while she was controlling one of the men. The boys arrived quickly and snuck in from an upper window with the princesses in tow. They observed the scene quietly from a platform inside the window.

"Okay you four stay here." Shikamaru told them before the eight boys jumped from the platform to go aid their teammates. The princesses watched from up on the platform. Neji and Lee first went to check on Tenten before joining in to the fight and Shikamaru had moved Ino's body from the middle of the floor to a safe corner. They watched with a mixture of excitement and terror, not sure if all the trouble they got into was like this.

(I am not good with fight scenes; I prefer to write romance and humor so please use your own imagination while mine takes a break)

After what felt like no time at all they had taken out all of the enemies, with little injury on their side. This had become easier when they found out the presence of the real princesses and came together all going after them. They were a very easy target. The princesses came down from the platform, careful to avoid the enemies lying on the ground.

"Are you all okay?" Akiko shouted.

"Fine for the most part"

"That was terrifying" Harumi exclaimed. She watched the group carefully, some were examining the bodies of the enemies, some their own checking for injury, Sakura was kneeling next to Tenten making sure there was nothing wrong with her, Ino and Hinata were gathering stray weapons. She smiled. They were also holding their high heels which Hinata had taken off to easy her fight but Ino had thrown at her closest enemies once she had returned to her own body. It had worked quite well really.

"She's going to be out for a few more hours" Sakura said referring to Tenten. "Unless we feel like hanging around here someone will have to carry her"

"I shall carry her" Lee said jumping up ready to help out his teammate. Everyone sighed. Lee had at the very least sprained his ankle and could barely support his own weight.

"Lee sit down, I'll do it" Neji said pulling Lee back down to the floor so Hinata could finish wrapping his injured ankle.

"Alright let's get going now; we'll be back by early morning."

They began to stumble back through the forest, now there seemed to be even more obstacles covering it especially for Neji who had to be careful not to drop Tenten and Lee who now had Harumi's help to walk. Sakura, Ino and Hinata were all being very careful not to mess up their dresses and were walking back barefooted. After what must have been two hours they saw the mansion's gates in view; the Lords were all waiting there. Once in view they ran (very improperly) to check on their daughters. It was nice to know that as mean as they acted to them they did really care. Even if it did take them running off into the woods, in to danger, after they went through so much trouble to keep them safe, to show it.
