Ok you guys. This is how it works. I write and you review. Is that really so hard? No its not. So DO IT!!!!!!!
Oh and I hope you all had great holidays! Whichever you celebrate!
Three days later, packed and prepared for the mission, the two groups met at the school yard for a final briefing.
After finishing up, Tsunade finished with, "Now scram and don't come back until you finish the job." Then she smiled a little and gave them all a hug.
So off they went, no one speaking. Thankfully, there wasn't much of a fight about which car to take, as Naruto's was the only one that could fit all eight of them without being too squished.
In the back seat, the girls were silent, staring out of the windows. The only time any of the girls spoke was when Sakura had to give the boys directions when they got lost. They were to macho to ask directions.
When they got to the designated area, they all silently got out of the car and put on their backpacks, ready to head into the forest. However none were prepared for what they saw. At a first glance, all looked calm and, well, like a normal forest. At a second look, you could tell that there was something seriously wrong with this place. For one, it didn't sound like a forest, it had a sinister feel. No birds sang in the trees, there was no rustling of the undergrowth.
"Where are the animals? Is there any living things here?" Hinata asked quietly.
"Well, we're here right?" Ino replied nervously knowing exactly what her sister meant.
They proceeded in silence until Sasuke, in the front of the pack pushed aside a branch and sucked in a breath in both surprise and outrage. All of the others grabbed their weapons, tensing for a fight. Sasuke gave a slight shake of the head and stepped through the underbrush. The other kids stayed guarded but followed anyway. When they realized what Sasuke saw, they all had various looks of shock and horror on their faces. What they saw was a giant pile of corpses, animals and humans. Upon closer inspection, they all looked strange, demented.
"They've been experimented on," Naruto said softly.
"What do you mean?" Shikamaru asked.
"Look at this one," Naruto replied pointing at the body he had knelt beside, "Three eyes are not normal. Plus its missing from the hip to the knee, he only has half a leg."
"And this one here, it looks like a gender hybrid," Hinata said softly next to another corpse a few feet away.
"And its not just the humans, the animals have been messed with as well," said Sakura kneeling beside a snake/fox/bird combination. "I guess that's why we didn't hear anything on the way here."
TenTen's eyes looked bleak, "This must be the rejects. The prisoners must be their test subjects."
"I'd hate to see how the successful tests turned out," replied Ino.
"If there were any. When you mess with life like this, it rarely turns out well for the victims," Sasuke said standing up, "And if there was any success, then we'll find out."
"Because we can't leave Kurenai and her teammates here, not in a normal situation and even more so in a position like this," Sakura added also rising.
"Agreed," said Shikamaru.
Sorry this is a short chapter, but it just seemed to be a good place to end it. So, yeah, I'll try to update faster now….
