R.O.K: REBELS OF KONOHA
CHAPTER 2
"What do you mean kidnapping?" asked Ino.
"Exactly as it sounds." muttered Naruto.
Ino hit Naruto across the head. "Shut up!"
Sasuke bend down and untied her. Ino tilted her head, "So what do we do?" she asked.
Naruto sighed, "Oh my god." he muttered, "That's the Princess of Konoha!"
All three eyes went to her sleeping form. Onyx eyes glared at Naruto.
"What makes you so sure?" asked Sasuke. "Why would a Princess be kidnapped? Doesn't she have guards or something?"
Ino knelt down, "Naruto's right…for once." muttered Ino. "The crown is a dead give away, and the dress, I mean honestly, who would wear such a heavy garment in this summer? And it's made from very good fabric, meaning it's just as a hassle to wear it as it was to make it. I mean, you can't even get this fabric around here!"
Sasuke knelt down, "We'll we can't just take her in right away, they'll think we did it. And we don't want them to follow us, we've got a rep. to uphold. Were also not the best to go into town noticeably."
Ino nodded, "My guess, is we take her back and wait until she wakes up. I'll go make room at the hide-out. Okay?"
Naruto and Sasuke nodded. She waved and then ran into the forest. Sasuke examined the girl, she was beautiful, but he would die before letting anyone know that's what he was thinking. Beauty may be one thing, but usually girls like her don't have much going on in the attic or were completely annoying.
He idly glanced at her body. She didn't seem harmed at all, so she didn't struggle when she was taken. He idly wondered if it was an ambush.
"Check the area. I don't think those kidnappers are gone yet." muttered Sasuke. "Lure them out if you have to."
Naruto sighed, "The fun part…yay." he whispered unenthusiastically.
The pink haired girl stirred, both of them glanced at her. Her eyes opened, revealing deep emerald eyes under thick black eyelashes. Her face looked soft and innocent as she blinked a couple of times. Naruto knelt down on the other side of her.
She blinked several more times, before either guys could say anything, she bolted up right. Realization hitting her like a ton of hard bricks. Her hand flew to their faces in a hard, loud and swift slap.
She got both in one motion. She recoiled from them, her face harboring fear and anger. She pointed an angry white gloved finger at them.
"SAVAGES!" she yelled. "How dare you watch a Princess with your…your perverted eyes? I am not a doll to be watched, I am a Princess!" She placed her gloved hands pressed on her bare cleavage.
They blinked and glared at her. Sasuke stood up, ignoring the 'Princess' and her angry rambling. He glanced down at Naruto, his cheek still red, "Never mind. I'll go lure them away…you." he glared at her.
She winced but kept her composure, glaring just as hard back at him. "You take care of her." with that, he left them. Naruto glanced at her and sighed.
"What am I suppose to do?" he cried out loud throwing his hands up.
She slowly inched her way away. Naruto noticed and stood up, taking steps towards her. She raised a hand to stop him, when he didn't, she swung her raised hand back and forth.
"I command you to stop!" she yelled.
Naruto narrowed his eyes and took hold of her hand. She gasped and snatched her hand from his touch, acting like she had just touched a grimy slimly object.
"You are not to touch a Princess without her permission or unless told otherwise!" she gritted, "Such manners, my gosh." she mumbled.
Naruto rolled his eyes, "Sorry your Majesty, but duties call." He picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. She shrieked as he picked her up. She pounded his back with her fists and kicked her legs out.
"Why I never-unhand me you brute! This is no way to treat one such as myself! You will see what happens when the king gets told!" When Naruto didn't listen, she pouted her bottom lip. "…I am very capable of walking you know, UNHAND ME!" she gritted. She pushed against him, wanting him to let her go.
"You will pay for this you know!" she yelled. "Never in all my years have I been treated like this! Don't you know who I am?"
"Yes, you're the Princess." he muttered. "I can't take much more of this!" he shouted.
"Ha! You? What about me? I'm the one who has been stuffed into a very uncomfortable sack and then hosted over the shoulder like some…mere object of no value! And now, I'm in the forest, who knows how far from home, in the arms of a stranger and possible headed off to see more strangers whom lack manners towards royalty!" she sighed loudly, "and I'm kidnapped twice! And you talk about how you can't handle it, so rude. Are you listening to me? THIS IS UNDIGNIFIED!" Sakura continued to yell, her hands pounding his back again as she kicked out.
He rolled his eyes, "Time for a nap." he muttered. He put his hands into a hand signal.
Sakura glanced at him, "What did you-yawn-…say?" she slowed down as the sky began to rain feathers. It tickled her senses and before she knew it, she was asleep. Naruto sighed relieved.
"Thank the cosmos…" he murmured, "Who can ever stand a whiny Princess who blabs on and on and on about not respecting her?"
Kabuto growled and hit the tree nearby. He glared at the two buffoons he called partners. "You idiots!" he yelled, "How could you let them get away?"
The two partners glanced at the ground in utter embarrassment and shame. Kabuto ran a hand through his sliver hair, pushing his glasses up his nose, he sighed.
"If there is anyone to blame, it'll be your heads Lord Orochimaru will get." he gritted. The two men gulped and Kabuto sighed again.
"We can't just leave now…they'll think it's suspicious and hunt us down…" He smirked and spun on the two men. They glanced at him curiously and back at each other.
"Sorry men, but one of you has to die…" Kabuto drew a blade and walked towards them. Each taking a step back when he advanced with two steps. Kabuto's reflection in the blade smirked as he lunged towards them.
Sasuke jumped to the next tree, finding it the tallest, he began to climb higher until he was near the top as he could go. His cheek still burned from the smack the princess gave him, but he ignored the pulsing pain and refrained from touching it.
It had been the first time a woman struck him. Not even Ino, the loud mouth moody one had so much as dared to lay a hand on him in punishment. He furrowed his brow and glanced around.
The sun was working down the horizon and he didn't see any movement close towards them and the village seemed easy, obvious still not in panic over it's Princess…yet. Feeling that there was no lead anywhere, he took a right step off the branch, the feel of air rushed all around him as he fell from the tall tree.
His hands still placed on the tree as gravity acted upon his body. Taking a small dagger from his back pocket, he plunged it in the tree with force. It immediately slowed his once fast speed and Sasuke stopped a few feet above the ground.
Sasuke swung his body and pushed off the tree, taking his dagger out and back flipping to his feet. Shoving his dagger back into keepings, he jogged into the forest, the most dense part of it towards their hide out. The place that even when being thoroughly searched was never discovered.
He jumped onto a tree and placed his middle and thumb into his mouth and blew, creating a loud ear piercing whistle that could be mistaken as a bird singing its heart out from miles away. After he whistled the message of all clear around his area, he heard a response.
Sasuke gave a nod and continued. The others were safe and haven't seen a lead anywhere, he was free to come back. Jumping towards the other tree he made his venture back to the hideout.
Naruto shifted the Princess, whom still remained nameless, over his shoulder. He heard Sasuke's whistle and rolled his eyes. He was so glad that he was done with his duty, as for Naruto…he had to deal with the Princess and now carry her with all her heavy and in the way dress.
He had the biggest urge to rip the bottom part of the dress that kept slapping him in the face every time the wind wanted to blow upon them. He heard the Princess snore lightly, she was really clocked out, she hadn't woken up when he sneezed.
Or when the owl hooted it's heart out. Or when Sasuke did that loud whistle…Of course, he didn't think he would wake either, although he had been trained to wake during whistles. A habit now, it was like hearing a sentence now.
A screaming, shrieking, or at times, siren of messages and sentences. He saw the two twin trees that meant the entrance to the hideout. He picked up his walking pace and began to jog, passing the trees, it came into a slight clearing.
From above, it was only a clearing by a little, the leaves and such forming like a dome above them from prying flying mechisums that wanted to expolit them. The center was the center. A series of cabins in a semi circle.
At least five wooden cabins that held four to five residents in each. A water well near the entrance and a small circle in the middle, it was to explain missions, plans, or give missions. At times for recreation, it was used to tell stories and such.
The first house, that was the center of the semi circle, was the main house. That's where Sasuke, Naruto, and two others resided in. They were the founders of the group, the Rebels of Konoha. R.O.K as Naruto liked to refer it as.
The last house on the right, was the empty house. It was used for Medical purposes mostly. It held food and was at times used for eating in or hold meetings in. It depended really. The group also had, what they called it spies in the village.
They were all adults and friends with the two remaining adults with them, they gave them most information and supplies when they ran low. It was thanks to them all that the group R.O.K was even formed.
Naruto pursed his lips together, sucking in a breath, he blew out, forming a loud whistle for himself.
After he was done, Ino came out from the medical cabin, a piece of bread in her hands. Two other girls followed her, a shy pale petite girl with dark short hair and the other was a taller older girl with brown hair fashionably up in two side buns. Ino gave them a curt nod and the oldest walked over to Naruto.
"So…" she murmured taking the Princess. "She's still asleep?"
Naruto blushed, "Er, well…you see…I sort of put a jutsu spell on her…"
The brown haired girl narrowed her eyes Naruto put his hands up in defense, "TenTen, no! You see, she was talking and screaming way too much and it got annoying! So I…shut her up…"
"With a jutsu?" she asked, she sighed, "Alright…I'll forgive. But next time, only perform jutsus when in trouble! Not when you feel someone's annoying…trust me, if I did that…you'd be asleep twenty four-seven!"
Naruto glared, "Haha TenTen." he rolled his eyes, "Oi, Ino, has Sasuke come back?"
Ino shook her head, "Nope, so you should go tell Iruka-sensei and Kakashi-sensei! I'll take care of the Princess."
Naruto gave a nod and waved a thanks to her. She nodded and walked inside after TenTen walked in with her. Sasuke jumped through the entrance. Finding that it was now dark and small lanterns of fireflies, surprisingly it did serve as good lights, hung on every cabin and around some random locations.
Raising his arms to in the air, he let out a short yawn and walked to the main cabin that was his home. Entering, he noticed Naruto making notes. The sliver haired adult in the other corner reading privately and the other brown haired adult add just checking through books.
"Naruto, Kakashi, Iruka." he greeted with a stifled yawn. "Is the Princess in the medical cabin?"
Naruto gave a nod, "Yeah-huh." he murmured.
"Good to see your alright Sasuke." said Kakashi, the sliver haired adult. Sasuke shrugged his shoulders in response and crossed the room.
"Any information on the town?" asked Sasuke.
The brown haired adult, Iruka shook his head a no. "Were planning on sending scouts to check it out, besides, were running low on food anyway."
Sasuke nodded and entered his room. Laying on his bed, or rather, the small mat with a blanket and pillow, he stared at the ceiling. Idly wondering about the Princess. His mind wondered over the slap she had given him as a 'thanks' to her rescuing.
His hand went to his cheek and he glared. Rolling over, he blew out his candle and shut his eyes.
Kabuto stalked towards the castle, night time had now engulfed the land and it couldn't have played out better in his mind. Only one 'guard' followed him now, the other one's blood tainted his clothes and skin, making it seem like he had just been in battle.
He constantly ripped at his clothes and smeared berry juice all over. He also gave cuts to his upper arms with his blade, not that it wasn't already blood coated. He finally made it to the castle gates and huffed. Putting on his battle brave face he began to limp.
The king was seated at his throne, idly glancing out the huge windows that had mysterious drawings on them from way back whence. Orochimaru was standing coolly next to him. The king turned to him.
"Orochimaru, do you think Sakura's alright with that Sir Kabuto?"
Orochimaru gave a curt nod, "Why yes, your majesty. He seemed so confident, I just hope they are quite alright. Or perhaps, Sakura has really taken a liking to him."
The king mused over it for a couple of minutes and sighed. He was just about to summon the guards to go out and search for his daugther and her suitor when Kabuto stumbled in.
He was practically dragged there by the guards as 'help' the guards made sure to stay in the room. The king arose from his seat. Orochimaru silently glaring at Kabuto.
"What the hell are you doing?" he thought in utter disgust.
Kabuto looked away and towards the ground, "King…I'm am…sorry!" he pleaded, "I-I couldn't hold them back, there were too many! All attacking…they took her!" Kabuto punched the ground, "They took her!"
The King's face seemed to grow pale at the short story. After a minute or two, Orochimaru stepped forward for the King.
"Search the town, put up posters, send out messages, search the area!" he yelled.
The King sat down, "Orochimaru. Call the medics and take care of this…brave lad."
Orochimaru nodded and walked down the short steps to Kabuto. Orochimaru smirked at him and Kabuto only smirked with his eyes.
"All according to plan."
"No, no, no, NO!" Sakura shook her head back and forth and looked away. Her hands across her chest protectively as she scowled. "To hell with emotions I can not still be in this…this disrespectful place!" she thought.
Ino sighed and rolled her eyes, "It's just until we get you back to your castle, your highness!"
Sakura glared at her, "I do not wear things you command." she sneered. "I am a Princess and should be dressed in fine fabrics not…makeshift."
Ino clutched her fists and slowly let out a slow breath, "Listen…would you rather be in that hot dress, getting sweaty, or would you rather be clean and dress into something new?"
Sakura kept her glare steady, "No." she answered, "I will not. So take it away from me. I'd rather die in my own wardrobes than in your…hideous fashion. Maybe than upon discovering my corpse they could tell that I was of royalty…"
Sakura had stretched the word as if she were talking to someone who was dumb and didn't understand the word at all, or, for that matter, didn't know the English language at all. Ino deadpanned, staring with her eyes that were as calm as she seemed.
With a huge breath, Ino let out a wail of anger. "AAAHHH!" she yelled at the top of her lungs.
Sakura just stared, the noise that flew from the blond girls mouth piercing her ears but she wasn't about to let on that it was killing her. Otherwise they'd do it more often. She kept her stare locked on her frame as she continued to yell or rather screech at the top of her lungs. Sakura's eyes winced every so often as she continued on a streak of no air, the girls face turning slightly red.
"Mother would be proud." thought Sakura to herself. "Mother would be proud! A Princess does not give or show weakness…you had already shamed your name early with your temper mental boundaries…regain your composure!"
Thinking things over, it was like she was hearing her mother's voice again. Within her own head like some record that was held on repeat. All the lessons she had taught her seemed to come back and she sat still, her hands placed peacefully on her lap as she continued to stare at the screaming girl. Sakura's eyes and face placid, looking very highly.
Five people burst into the medical cabin in such a rush, all their faces were slightly red and their breath was abnormal, they had all obviously ran to see what was wrong. It seemed like an eternity for the both of them, waiting for someone else to come by.
Sakura recognized two of the people in the group. The two perverts, as she referred to them as. The raven haired one and the ungrateful disrespectful blond boy. There were two girls in the door way as well, accompanied by two other boys.
None appealed to her whatsoever. The screaming girl stopped her yelling and she huffed angrily. Turning, she threw her hands up in the air.
"This is horrible!" she yelled, "She is intolerable!"
Sakura glared at her, "Excuse me?" she asked her face surprisingly still placid, despite the tone of voice, "That is no way to talk about a Princess! Especially while in her prescience!"
They stared at her and than to blond girl, "What's wrong, Ino?" asked one of the girls, a brown haired one.
Ino pointed a finger at Sakura, "She won't change her clothes because they're not royal material!"
They all stared at her, thinking that she burst for something so dumb. "And, she insulted me! Calling these clothes hideous and…she's sneering with her royal attitude!"
The brown haired girl sighed, "Um, Ino?" she asked, "If she doesn't want to change…she doesn't have to."
Sakura smiled lightly, "Thank you. Your gradification is much admired Miss."
The girl blushed slightly, "Er-yeah." Ino's mouth was hanging wide open as she stared at her so called friend in disbelief. The rest of the strangers seemed to get movement back into their limps and began to walk out of the door.
Sakura narrowed her eyes again, "Excuse me." she raised her voice, as they stopped and looked at her. "I did not dismiss you! Please learn to respect me as I am. I do not live in the Castle because I'm a maid…"
They stood at the door way, still staring at her. She stopped glaring and gave a nod, "You are all dismissed." Slowly, they all filed out of the room. Including the girl, Ino.
With a slight close of the door, Sakura was left alone. Just how she liked it.
