Inukai: Yes, yes I can! Let's go Inu!
Chapter 9:
Defiling Acts and Genuine Worry
Naruto had lay down on Sakura's bed listening to the feet step on the floor. Being a ninja he already had a strong sense of hearing along with the help of Kyuubi. The nearest sound he heard was of Sasuke when he would fidget in the chair next to the bed.
Naruto's eyes were covered with a cold cloth so they could sooth after trying to bring his eyesight back too many times. They started to sting and feel soar so they put him to rest.
Sakura left to take care of Mizunekai who had lost two molars and her bruise was now bleeding. Sakura had to now stitch up sorely ripped skin on the bruise. She gave Mizunekai a small dosage of a sleeping drug in her tea so she wouldn't feel the pain. When she was done she sapped up any blood that had flown from the cut and replaced the ice. She got up and walked into Naruto's room.
"Naruto are your eyes feeling any better now?" Sakura asked sweetly as she removed the cloth and dipped it back into cold water then putting it back. Naruto smiled and muttered a "yeah". Sasuke reached for his hand and held it reassuringly. He gave Naruto a long warm kiss on his forehead and said with equally warm words everything was going to be okay. Naruto giggled and nodded he too gripped Sasuke hand lightly.
"Hey Sakura if Naruto's back what about Rei-chan?" Sasuke asked while looking around. Sakura gave it a thought before agreeing.
"Come to think of it you're right, where is she?" Sakura said also looking around. She got up and ran out in the doorway and yelled for her mother but got no response. She ran back in her room and ran onto the balcony and looked at the empty streets. She frantically ran back inside and started to pull on her sneakers and grab a jacket. "She's not here! I'm going to go find her. You stay with Naruto." She ordered and was almost out the door when a woman stopped her.
"Sakura-san I'm sorry but you are not going anywhere. I don't care if I have to use force or what ever you cannot leave this house your mother ordered me to keep you guys safe. Sasuke-kun if you please close the balcony doors?" She said and pushed Sakura back into her room. "I have something to tell you about Rei…"
Rei sat against a wall in the cell breathing quite shallow. She was sweating a lot and her clothes had been removed and replaced with a dirty cloth not even worth being called a dress. She had her hands chained behind her and her legs were free. They had of course harshly wrapped her eyes up with some rag. She hated them…
Rei tried to break free of the man's grip as he held her by the hair and slammed her head against a wall. He quickly removed her hitai-ate but then slammed his fist in her forehead and eyes.
She groaned in a low pained tone not daring to cry out like a little girl. She closed her eyes tightly as a rough dirty rag ripped at her eyelids and was messily knotted in the back. The man punched her in the temple and she saw darkness.
When she had woken up she found her self in a sitting position and that was it. They had used an awkward jutsu to seal all her chakra points and relax her muscles. She was yes paralyzed and daily beaten but she didn't care much. She didn't know if it was the same man who had constantly beaten her in the head and stomach but she didn't care. She knew pain and this was nothing at all.
She didn't move at all (not that she could now) when the familiar sound of the cell door opening was heard.
"So this is the one?" She heard a man say.
"Yep, so that'll be 2500 yen right?" Another said. Her head snapped up when she realized what they were talking about. "Don't worry about anything she's paralyzed she'll just hafta take it like the bitch she is. Oh and here," He had paused. "Put this over her mouth no one needs to here her scream." He said before he stepped out. Rei was infuriated at hearing this. They thought she was some fucking toy! Well she'll teach them.
"Oh ho yeah this one is definitely worth the money." The man said. She felt his disgusting hands on her as his hands groped her body. Some rush went through her and her Kurushimi seemed to of activated. "Him nice tattoo you have on y'er stomach. A seal I see?" He said pulling up the 'dress'.
"You sincerely think so?" She started startling the man. "Well thank you so very much." She grunted the last word as she kicked the man in the groin. She smirked as he cried out and with incredible flexibility used her feet to pull up the blind fold on her eyes. Her eyes were a blazing green that seemed to even burn the air around her. She looked straight at the man and started to laugh with a hollow tone as he screamed. She broke the chains with brute strength and started to run out of the cell.
She suddenly stopped and pulled up the dress. "Hm, it is nice."
"Why my mother what the hell did she do! Why is she the one getting executed and not you?" Sakura yelled at Mizunekai. Naruto was just saying 'no' to himself as Sasuke just stared at her in complete shock.
"Sakura-san I—," Mizunekai tried.
"NO! Don't speak you me this…this…this is blasphemy! Injustice! My mother is an innocent human being unlike you!" Sakura yelled throwing things all over the place. Mizunekai tried to keep her calm demeanor but finally cracked. She grabbed the arm Sakura was using to throw the chair and threw it down. She gave her an angry glare,
SLAP!
Sakura stood there stunned as she touched her cheek.
"Your mother is a Matsumoto! She would not take this bullshit! You think she would honestly give herself up for execution!" Mizunekai said in a low harsh tone. Her anger showed extremely visible when her eyes turned an ice blue and the sink in the connecting bathroom started to shake. "I am sick and tired of hearing you flap your mouth like you know EVERYTHING! You are no fucking God so I suggest you shut your mouth until you know everything from the meaning of life to the meaning of dirt!" She yelled and the sink in the bathroom exploded. Mizunekai's eyes started to return to their original murky sea green color and she took a deep breath.
Sasuke looked at the flooding bathroom while holding a shaking Naruto and gulped. "M-Mizunekai-san," He said a little frightened when she looked his way.
"Yes, Sasuke-kun," She said still a little ticked.
"M-Maybe we should go to the H-Hokage and see—?" He started but cut himself off when Mizunekai stomped her foot.
"Sasuke what is wrong with you! Are you not listening or something? Are you that damn thick headed! Do—!"
"SHUT UP!" Naruto yelled startling everyone. "JUST SHUT UP! Sasuke was actually being nice to you! He was just innocently asking a damn question! If you can't answer it properly then I will!" Naruto took a calming breath. The tension in the air was killing them and they needed some type of relief. "Sasuke what she's trying to say is that any Matsumoto clan member that is found will be killed. So we can't go to Hokage for Rei's benefit and we are hiding one that hasn't even done what she ordered and is currently on the lam at the same moment. It's just not safe anymore."
He took another breath before turning his head upwards with his now bandaged eyes. "We should barricade the windows and get ready for any attacks. Make sure all places are locked and all traps and defenses are up. Mizunekai if you can make this house some how fire resistant I'll be extremely grateful. Please everyone I would help but I must go see the Hokage anyways and go to the hospital. I'll miss you guy's good luck!" Naruto said happily.
"Naruto you want me to take you?" Sasuke said softly but Naruto shook his head.
"No but thanks sweety I've got it covered. Kakashi taught me his teleportation jutsu a long time ago I can get there." Naruto said softly and teleported away. Sasuke was a little upset with no goodbye kisses or anything but let it pass and started to help.
Rei was now free of the compound and was in a part in the forest. The sun was now setting and the rain from the passing days left the dirt muddy. Not being accessed to ink or dye she doused her hair in the mud making it as brown and dirty as she could make it. Got to do what you got to do. She closed her eyes but was interrupted by a voice.
"Rei-chan, hi I haven't seen you in so long!" The little voice piped up. Rei's eyes flashed in irritation and she slowly snapped her head towards the voice. When she saw who it was her eyes softened.
"Oh hello Inara-kun I haven't seen you either! It's nice to see you again but I have to go. Can you tell me where we based this time?" She said gently and he nodded.
"Where just southeast of here around the village of sand, I wish you lots of good luck on your journey." He said before giving her a large bear hug. She patted his head and jumped off.
"Inara who are you talking too?" Neji's voice rang out to him. He jumped and looked towards his direction.
"No one sincerely myself cause I started to get bored." He said sweetly. He watched with curiosity when Neji turned him around and started to pour something into his hair.
"This is dark brunette die. While I work on your hair I need you to put this on." He said handing Inara a case of white contacts.
"But Neji-kun I don't know how to put these on." He said looking at them in confusion. Neji finished up with his hair and washed his hands in a near by pond. He came back to Inara and put one contact on his finger.
"Open your eyes really wide but stay calm and don't move." He said softly but strictly and put one on and left Inara blink then he placed the other. "Wow you're so similar to Hanabi. Okay from now on your name will be Hina and you are a bunke okay?"
"Wait Hina is a girl name and why of bunke? Why not of something that could be higher like a souke or something?" Inara retorted.
"One you are a girl because we have an unnatural imbalance of testosterone in that damn house and two you're in bunke because my godforsaken uncle doesn't keep any track of the bunke anymore." Neji scolded as Inara pulled on his purple jacket. "Thank goodness you have long hair…" Neji mumbled.
"Neji-kun I think your hair hates you."
"Why do you think so all of a sudden?"
"You keep it all up in a freakin hair tie and that's not fair. As you can see since we came back I have taken out my elastic to set my hair free." Inara said flipping his now brown hair. Neji chuckled and took out his hair tie and to play along flipped his hair too.
"Well then let us go my lady." He said like the true gentlemen he was. 'Hina' gladly accepted and jumped on Neji's back.

I fear the worse…not a lot of you guys from recent chapters are back…I think you guys are losing interest and honestly I'm scared of that. I don't want to be all "Oh no I'm going to wait for ten reviews a chapter! Or like until I get to 65 reviews!" because I know you guys like the story if I'm even close to 65 but I want to see you read it, liked it, and your comment on it. Please.
