Ch. 3- The Chosen One
Everyone was now walking into the house. They were all standing by the door just looking around, when all of the sudden the door slammed opened.
"Ahh!" screamed Ino.
"Relax Ino, it was just the door," said Chouji.
"Ok I see the stairs leading to the second floor, but look, there's a door over there that looks hidden," said Temari.
Just then the door that she was pointing to opened.
"I'm scared," whispered Ino.
"I'm guessing that's our cue to go in," said Temari.
"You aren't scared?" asked Kiba.
"Why would I-" said Temari but got interrupted.
"AHH! Look!" shouted Ino.
From the hidden door a ghostly snake was coming out. It looked to be about four feet. It was purple with yellow eyes and it was staring at Temari.
"Why is it staring at you Tem?" asked Kankuro.
"I don't know," said Temari.
The snake suddenly flung itself to Temari. It went with such speed that the next thing she knew, she was on the floor with the snake trying to bite her.
"Ahh, help her!" shouted Ino.
Shikamaru, Kankuro and Gaara were already trying to help her, but couldn't touch the snake without their hands going thru it.
"We can't even touch it!" shouted Kankuro.
"It really is a ghost," said Gaara.
"Temari!" shouted Shikamaru once the snake had twisted itself around her and started to squeeze her that she had difficulty breathing.
"Nothing is working!" shouted Naruto.
"Shikamaru, Temari isn't breathing anymore!" shouted Chouji.
"Let go of her you damn snake!" shouted Shikamaru.
The snake then loosened its grip on Temari and she started coughing to regain her breathing. "Master has chosen you," hissed the snake.
"Shit it talks!" yelled Kiba.
"What do you mean chosen her? For what?" asked Gaara.
"Master chooses the strongest and bravest teenager," said the snake, "and this girl is exactly what Master is looking for."
"Who is your master?" asked Ino.
"Orochimaru," said the snake as it bit Temari on the arm.
"Ahh!" screamed Temari so loudly in pain that she lost consciousness.
"She has been marked. It would be best if you all left her here and go home."
"We're not leaving without her!" yelled Shikamaru.
"Well she can't leave," hissed the snake, "she's stuck in this house until midnight, that is if she can survive until then. I suggest you all leave and not get involved. Besides, she won't survive," hissed the snake as it disappeared.
"Tem, wake up. Wake up Tem," said Kankuro.
"Look, the snake bite, it was real," said Gaara, as he stared at the bite turning into three dark circles, "it left a mark."
"We need to get out," said Shikamaru.
Everyone nodded their heads and headed for the door while Shikamaru carried Temari. He was almost at the door with her when it suddenly closed.
"I can't get it open," said Kiba, "help me Naruto."
Naruto went to help him, "It won't budge, we're stuck!"
"Stuck! We can't be stuck! What if the snake was right and Orochimaru does come? We'll die!" yelled Ino.
"If the snake is right, that means Temari is in danger," said Gaara.
"So far it has been right," said Chouji, "Temari can't leave the house."
"Yeah you're right," said Kankuro, "it closed when Shikamaru was gonna go out with her."
"There has to be another way out," said Naruto.
"Hang on," said Ino, "Temari can't leave but we can, why don't we just go get help?"
"Ino, we can't leave her alone," said Chouji.
"Yes we can! I don't want to die!" yelled Ino.
