The Chosen Chapter 2: RED Alert, a naruto fanfic

DISCLAMER: Once again nothing belongs to me except the story, and this crazy idea!!!

BOOM

She could hear banging and voices outside of where ever she was. Her mind was foggy but from what she could tell, there was a girl arguing with a boy. Or maybe it was the other way around.

"….to go, we can't save everyone." The girl, from what she could make out sounded frantic and scared.

"We can't just leave her in there. She needs help and I don't care if I have to do it alone, I won't just leave her here." The boy, he sounded scared but at the same time determined to do whatever it was he wanted to accomplish.

"You don't even know her." She was screaming now, as if her point would come across better that way.

He turned to her with a strange look in his eyes, "I didn't know you either."

BOOM

"Oi, wake up in there! We have to get outta here!" She could hear more banging and it was more frantic than before.

BOOM

"Oi…" more banging "wake up we have to-"

BAM

"What the hell are you doing?!" he was yelling and sounded even more scared than before.

"You want to save her don't you?" A boy, but it wasn't the same one from before. He sounded calm and unaffected by everything going on around him.

"Yea but breaking the tank with a chair isn't what I was thinking. She could get hurt by the glass or something!"

"We don't have time for this." The other boy sounded slightly annoyed and impatient.

"Wait, don-"

BAM

SHATTER

WHOOSH

Water came flooding out as the glass holding the spherical tank together broke. Along with it came the body of a girl who couldn't have been older than nineteen. As she slid across the glass littered floor, the occupants of the room stepped back and were able to look at her more clearly.

She was coughing up water and trying unsuccessfully to hoist herself up by her arms at the same time. Still dripping wet, her beautiful long brown hair covered her naked body like a curtain, her head was bowed down as she was still coughing from being in the water for so long.

When she finally lifted her head, the occupants of the room could see the all too familiar look behind her glittering gold eyes, confusion.

"Wh…." her voice was ragged and horse from disuse, "whe-"

Before she could finish, a loud blaring alarm went off. The voice of the automated women sounded loudly through various panels all over the ceiling.

RED ALERT. RED ALERT. RED ALERT. RED ALERT.

A boy with wild blonde hair and blue eyes, looked about eighteen, and dressed in nothing but a pair of gray cotton pants stepped forward towards the girl. She in kind tried to scoot away but couldn't due to her weak arms and the array of broken glass around her. In her frantic search for some kind of exit, she ended up cutting herself on the glass and fell unto her already bruised hands.

The blonde haired boy continued cautiously toward her, skipping and side-stepping over broken glass before he crouched down in front of her, wary of both her and the glass.

When he spoke to her, his voice was warm and soothing; he didn't want to frighten her any further.

"We need to go," when she did nothing but stare, he continued, "now."

Without looking away from her, he spoke, "Sakura, can you get the fire blanket next to the door? We have to get outta here."

A young girl of seventeen with shoulder length pink hair and just as striking green eyes went to get what was needed. A boy who looked about eighteen with short midnight spiky hair and jet black eyes stood off to the side as he watched the others work.

As the two finished their work, they joined the boy by the closed door. The blond haired boy had her, now covered, in his arms while the bubblegum haired girl had her arms crossed around her stomach.

"Sakura..." the boy with black hair didn't even have to finish, the girl seemed to know what was needed.

"Hai." Her voice was soft but tight with concentration as she closed her eyes and let everything around her go. She heard the steady breathing of the two next to her, and the frantic heartbeat of the girl in the blonde boy's arms. She heard everything.

"Sasuke….." her eyes remained closed as she continued to talk to the boy, "there are about twenty soldiers coming our way."

"Hn." His voice wasn't soothing or warm like the other boy, but cold and quiet.

Sakura opened her eyes and the blonde boy on the other side of Sasuke tightened his hold on her. Unlike before his voice wasn't soothing and warm, it was filled with anxiety and nervousness.

"Oi, how much time do we have?"

"Maybe three to five minutes," Sakura couldn't be sure but she knew they didn't have a lot of time to get out of there.

"Alright, so what do we do?"

They both turned to Sasuke as he did nothing but walk over to the wall opposite of them and lean against it with his eyes closed.

"We wait."

Sakura sighed and went to sit at his feet as she waited for what she knew would be an exhausting confrontation. The blonde haired boy, still holding the girl in his arms, stayed where he was and looked down at the girl in his care. She had been quiet through their whole conversation, just looking up at him with blank eyes.

He was startled for a moment, very aware of the fact that her eyes were no longer gold, and decided to store that bit of information away for a later date. He grinned widely at her and decided to ask an easy question.

"My name's Naruto, what's yours?" She didn't answer him; instead, she continued to stare blankly at him as if she didn't understand his question.

The silence stretched on for what seem like eternity, he'd almost given up on a reply but was pleasantly surprise when she answered.

"My…..name?" her voice was still hoarse, a sign of not being used in a long time but she sounded confused as well.

"Yea, your name, you hafta have a name." His tone was teasing but she didn't seem to take notice as she was too busy concentrating on something else.

Once again her dark eyes took on a blank empty appearance as she seemed to leave reality. Face slack and reveling nothing she seemed to be in another place completely, somewhere far away beyond the reach of anyone besides herself.

The black and gold plaque on the glass before her read 1010.

"Yes, that is a lovely name is it not?" There was laughter and then nothing.

"TenTen…..my name…..is TenTen."
