Well this took forever and it isn't very long...sorry.


Ronnin led the three ninja Sasuke sent, including Sasuke and the mysterious Midori woman. The other ninja was tall, dark and seemingly in a state of permanent speechlessness.

"Kiba!" Ronnin said, the other ninja was still ramming his shoulder in the force field's way

"What are you doing?" Midori asked as she walked into it easily, the darker ninja followed her and Kiba groaned in frustration slumping to the ground. Sasuke tried stepping in, but was stopped

"Just go get her." Kiba shouted fiercely. Midori looked at Sasuke for approval before taking even a step, he nodded and she rushed, the dark shinobi following her.

Naruto walked in on Neji and Shikamaru's strategy Hinata in one arm, a letter in the other. Neji stood up taking his unconscious cousin carefully, maintaining a glare at Naruto, but Naruto didn't notice face grim.

"Neji take her home, Shikamaru we need to talk." Naruto said, uncharacteristically solemn. Neji left and Shikamaru stood fist tight, Naruto pushed him back into a seat.

"What is it?" Shikamaru questioned.

"Kita has been kidnapped, again." Naruto said, "Sit." He snapped when Shikamaru jumped up. "Nothing we can do, we have to just trust Sasuke." Naruto ordered.

"Are you really telling me that?" Shikamaru demanded. "Trust Sasuke, no one can trust Sasuke." Shikamaru said fist landing into a wall. "Kita is your fried, you're responsibility as a ninja, but you're leaving her fate to Sasuke?" He roared

"Shikamaru, I'm your Hokage, shut up sit down and wait." Naruto said. "Or do you want to be labeled a traitor?" He asked

Shikamaru's knees slowly bent till he was sitting down.

"Good." Naruto said with relief.

Kita groaned, she was drying, slowly, and as Ryota continued to blabber, her pinky finger lit burning her bonds.

"Welcome, female." Said a new voice slamming a foot on her wrists squelching her fire. She grunted in pain looking up, there was Hon.

"If I die will you leave Kohona alone?"

"Never." He said and she squirmed violently and bit him in the leg. He kicked her and she slid against the dew cover ground.

Kita curled into a ball, jaw hurting along with her legs. Nothing was broken, though just stiff. That was good. Very good.

"Do you realize how screwed you are?" Ryota asked and Kita bit her lip to keep from whimpering.

"Go screw yourself, you in-bred." She said slowly and tried to look up at Hon, instead she just got her face shoved in the wet ground. She hated to admit it, she need a rescue, badly.

Shikamaru paced on the border of Kohona, knowing well enough his own father, Choji, and Ino were watching him intently waiting for him to bolt or stay. Everything in his legs told him to bolt, everything in his head told him to stay. Kita was always in trouble and always got out of it, usually with help. He should go.

"Damn it, she should be in a house with a husband, not out on missions." He said furiously, before he just sat. "A couple of kids to keep her busy." He said, "She probably can't cook worth a damn." He added silently.

Someone was approaching him from behind he took out a kunai and jumped to his feet to stare down…Ino. Wow, pulling knives on his own team, what a jackass he felt like.

"Shikamaru, you're freaking us out, go take a nap or something."

"I'm not tired, Ino." He said and her eyes widened in shock. "Haha I'm not tired. That's how messed up this is. Sasuke is going to save her? Bull." Shikamaru raged.

"Kita has you wrapped around her little finger, doesn't she?"

Kita's eyes were squeezed cold as she was repeatedly kicked in the ribs. The shadows were moving silently, but rapidly.

"Shika?" She said before coughing and blood came out of her mouth, then with a flurry of movement Ryota was on the ground under a green haired woman's body and being stabbed in the eyes with needles. Her hair had come to life and was choking the man blue so that he couldn't even scream.

Kita tried to smile in her sadistic pleasure seeing this, but Hon, Hon was punching a dark man in the face.

"You can't have this bitch!" Hon screamed and threw the man into a tree. Kita's wrist with slick with blood and she slid out of her binding and pushed herself on to her knees.

"THIS IS OVER!" She screamed feeling hot flames lick around her arms, she didn't have the strength for her whole body to be covered in flames. Grabbing both Hon and the other man she saw them scream and burn. "You're going to not going to die here, I don't care where you're from who you are!" She told the dark man and threw him on the ground where he furiously rolled in the dewy ground to put himself out.

Hon continued to shriek and she covered his face with a flaming hand. His screams intensified then diminished and she through him on the ground with a few helpless gargles the now unhuman face still and died.

Kita collapsed on the ground and looked at the fast approaching Kiba.

"You're going to carry me out of here, here and now get me to the hospital then get me home." She informed him. "I'm seriously considering retirement." She added and covered up a squeal of pain when he touched her sore ribs.

"The Sound will care for you to the best of our abilities." Sasuke informed her as Kiba passed him well headed towards the nearest hospital.

"Oh it better." Ronnin told him and jumped back behind Kiba when Sasuke gave him a glare.

Midori lined up behind her leader followed by the mysterious man whose neck was burned, but not terribly.

"It thought she would kill me." He said in a hoarse whisper. Sasuke snapped his around to look at the man who silenced quickly.

"She might one day, the girl is distantly related to the Uchiha clan, and therefore more of a threat than you or anyone else has probably given her credit for." Sasuke said stonily. "Midori run along and started the healing process, I don't need the Hokage accusing me of letting his ninja go injured longer than necessary." Sasuke said.

"Shikamaru! Shikamaru!" Hinata said loudly running down the street to find Choji sitting on his comrade. Shikamaru slowly turned his head to look at her. "Kita has been retrieved!" Hinata said breathlessly.

"Choji, get off him." Ino said still hidden to Hinata by being behind Choji.

"Thanks for the kindness Ino, you're heart is pure gold." Shikamaru grunted well pushing himself up. "That was unnecessary, I told you I wasn't going any where." He said sternly then his gaze locked on Hinata.

"Shikamaru just wait a second." Choji said, but Shikamaru got very close to Hinata's face.

"Is she hurt? When is she returning?" He demanded and the girl nervously shook. "Out with it Hinata." Shikamaru snapped and Ino kicked him in the butt making him jerk.

"Don't be an asshole, Kita will be back soon and you can ask her to be your ninja bride then."

"Ino, don't be vulgar, Kita a bride?" Shikamaru said shaking his head. "I'm going to bed, I surprisingly can get no rest with Choji sitting on me." Shikamaru informed her. He stalked off sulking madly.
