Chapter 16: The Snake's Plan

Nazu was sleeping on the couch in Naruto's apartment. Glacies sat in the chair in the corner. She watched the door to protect her little brother. "Looks like we came just in time, I thought it would be harder than this." Glacies was startled by a voice behind her. A white haired man with glasses stood behind her. "H-how did you…get in here?" Glacies stared at him in amazement. The man laughed, "A good magician never tells his secrets." Glacies shuttered and turned toward Nazu. A man with black hair and snake-like eyes stood next to him. "Get away from him!" Glacies stood up and ran at him.

"We don't want you interfering with our plans." The man with glasses was now holding her by the head. I didn't even have a chance. How does he do it? Glacies thought. The black haired man stuck out his long tongue. "Don't touch him!" Glacies created an ice wall in front of his tongue. She felt a sharp pain in her leg. "It will only get worse from here, just sit back and relax." The man with glasses said.

"Don't let her get away, Kabuto. We want her too." The black haired man said. "Yes, lord Orochimaru." Kabuto said. Glacies formed a kunai out of ice and tried to throw it at Orochimaru, but Kabuto caught her arm. "I warned you. You'll regret trying to do that." Kabuto squeezed her arm tightly. Glacies screamed in pain, "NARUTO!"

Nazu opened his eyes only to see his sister being held in place. "Glacies…" Nazu didn't finish his sentence. "Shh, don't move, this won't hurt at all." A man with black hair said to him. Nazu smacked the man away, "LET GO OF HER!" Nazu shouted as he charged at the man in glasses. Nazu was stopped and lifted into the air by something wet and warm. "Now settle down, we're not here to hurt you. But we will if needed." The man had lifted him with his tongue.

Naruto kicked the door in. "Put them down!" He ran at Orochimaru but he squeezed Nazu. "Gah!" Nazu cried out in pain. His head then hung down and loosely swung back and forth. "What's the matter, Naruto? Do you care that much for these two?" Orochimaru teased. Kabuto squeezed Glacies arm tighter. "Naruto…get help…please!" Glacies managed to say holding back tears.

"Kabuto, you're still as cocky as ever." Kakashi stood with one hand on Kabuto's shoulder. "Kakashi, you handle Kabuto, I'll get Orochimaru." Might Guy was stood behind Naruto. "How do all these people get in here?" Glacies looked from Guy to Orochimaru. "Jonin's are amazing with stealth." Naruto explained. Orochimaru threw Nazu into the wall. "Kabuto, let's get out of here." He said. "You got off easy this time. Be glad you're still alive." Kabuto told Glacies as he left. Nazu ran to and hugged his sister, who was in a horror trance.

*Time Shift*

Glacies wouldn't stop shaking from fear. Nazu sat next to her on the couch to comfort her. Naruto, Kakashi, and Guy talked about how the two got in. "Glacies, are you okay?" Nazu shook her but she wouldn't respond. After a minute of shaking her, she wrapped her arms around Nazu. "I'm just glad you're safe!"Glacies stopped hugging Nazu, stood up and started to walk out the door. "Glacies, where are you going?" Nazu asked. "I couldn't protect you. I-I've failed you. I need to train and become stronger. I'll be back, don't worry. Naruto and the others will protect you until then." Glacies finished her statement and left.

*Scene Change*

What are they planning? Glacies thought as she watched Kabuto and Orochimaru in their base. She was enraged by what they did and she was outlined with light blue chakra. Why would they need us? We think it's either the Ultimate Dragon or to stop the Akatsuki. The dragons of ice interrupted her thoughts. Well I'll just have to stop them. "Well, I didn't think you would have tracked us down." Glacies was startled by Kabuto's voice. He had a long blade at her neck.

He's still very stealthy. Glacies stood on the branch above him. Good thing I was able to create that ice clone. "Next time you should choose a tree with leaves on it to hide in." Kabuto said to the clone. "That was part of the plan." The clone grabbed him and turned itself into ice.

"Your plan didn't work." Kabuto stood behind Glacies and had his knife at her throat. "What do you want with me?" Glacies snapped at him. Kabuto pulled the blade closer to her throat. "We'll ask the questions from here on out." Glacies gulped, did the best nod she could without killing herself, and walked back into him. "You're smarter than I expected." Kabuto laughed as he wrapped his free arm around her.

*Scene Change*

Glacies was being held by Kabuto in front of Orochimaru. "She did us a favor and came to us." Kabuto explained. "I think you did me a favor by bringing me here!" Glacies stood behind Kabuto with about 20 clones. "How did you?!" Kabuto was frozen to the floor by an ice clone. She stuck out her tongue and said, "See you, fools!"

Glacies ran out of the hideout and took to the trees. Lucky me, I could've died there. Yeah, run away from the fight! Shut up! Glacies barely made it to Naruto's apartment before Kabuto caught up to her. "Guys, Kabuto's coming!" She shouted and ran into Naruto's arms. "Glacies are you okay?" Nazu asked. "Nazu, you need to hide, NOW!" She told him as the door opened.

That's it for this chapter! Who is coming in the door? What will happen to Glacies and Nazu? Find out next time in Chapter 17: Girl Power! Also, I will be taking a break for a while so stay tuned! 'Til then, peace!
