Naruto and Ino: Key to My Heart
Summary: Like magnets, no matter how far they were, they would always be pulled back to one another.
Sakura stood at the door of the Uchiha's. Her bubble gum hair blew gently with a soft wind grazing its cold fingers against her skin. She took in a breath of fresh air and knocked the door a few taps at once.
Nothing.
She repeated herself, but a bit louder.
Still nothing.
She was worried now and knocked harder. She was confused, angry and worried as she wondered what had happened to the raven haired male, but everything was clear when someone opened the door.
"Neji!" the voice boomed angrily as footsteps echoed the narrow hallway.
The one named stood up quickly and opened his door, only to find the speaker of the voice before him.
"Hi..." before the formal greeting was said, the eldest spoke out.
"Where is my daughter!" he screamed.
"She informed me that you asked for her," the youngest replied.
"I did no such thing," he replied scowl and anger written all over his face, "... I know something is wrong here," he openly stated, "... Locate her immediately!"
"Yes Hahashi-Sama," Neji replied with a bow confused and shocked.
He felt cold. It wasn't your typical shivers and shakes; this was like ice against your skin causing you to cringe uncontrollably. It's like itching to pull the ice away knowing that your skin will follow.
He shook again feeling a sense of eerie wrapping around his body. He stopped his thoughts all of a sudden, blinking until realization hits him smack on his bare skin: he was naked. He moved his head to stare below himself to realise the nightmare of being naked in front of a classroom, except this was no classroom.
"So you're awake," a female voice chided, "... Good..."
"Are you not going to ask me any questions?" she looked a bit confused, "No 'why am I here?' Or 'what do you want?'"
He didn't dare say a word as he glared at the female before him. She tilted her head as if to consider whatever she was planning to do. He breathed slow telling himself to be prepared of anything and he was right to be so intuitive because she smirked and it could only mean one thing: trouble.
Gaara watched not quite sure of what to do. Usually he would step in the first moment the argument started, but this time he stood back. His blonde friend was attacking his brunette haired friend and he didn't know what to do. They were best friends and fights may ensue, but not to this point.
"Naruto!" he heard the brunette on the ground called out, "... Stop!"
The blonde didn't listen as he continued to attack by throwing punches at the face of his former best friend. Gaara then noticed Kiba having enough when he pushed Naruto off him to stand.
"Let me explain myself god dammit!" he screamed angrily.
The scream died early as the blonde lung forward once more with fury in his mind and anger upon his heart. He didn't care how he looked or even how he was handling this, but he felt betrayal harming him from all angles of his life.
Why? Why would his bestfriend who he trusts with his life do this to him? Why would he lie to his face? Why would he even go talk to his beloved blonde? Was it to steer her toward his arms instead? He was confused, hurt, angry, and in pain and there was nothing that was going to stop him from the obsessed fiery monster he has become.
"Tenten," he stated, "... Is Hinata with you?"
It was silence and he was confused because he knew someone was at the other end because he could hear breathing.
"Tenten," he started again, "... Are you there?"
Nothing again.
"Answer me," he was getting irritated.
A laugh caused him to stare confused. The voice did not sound like the voice of the woman with buns.
"Who is this?" he questioned into the telephone curiously.
"Neji," the voice said with coolness, "... Your cousin is here."
Neji felt his breath hitched as he stood up automatically.
"She isn't well," he could see a smile upon her lips as she said it a bit to happily causing him to grit irritated.
"What do you mean?" he tried to calm his anger down.
"I mean this," she said into the speaker and there was a moment of silence before he heard something that restricted his heart making his eyes widen in fear.
He could hear her screaming from afar but he knew it was his cousin. His hands we're closed into fists as he was ready to attack.
"Neji," the new voice returned to the speaker, "... Quite an earful, isn't it?" a chilling laugh entered his ears causing the canal to freeze, "... Our location..." he heard loud and clear where she was, but how could he believe it when she could trap him too, "... You should hurry, she is bleeding quite a lot," and then there was that terrible sound of clicks and then a deadly tone that told you its the end of conversation, so Neji didn't didn't bother to hung up because he was going to save his cousin, prepared or not.
He tried to calm himself, he really did. It was just the thought of her tore at his insides. She had those eyes, so majestically beautiful, yet they were held with fear when they were aimed at him that moment.
He shouldn't have done it and it angered him so. He felt stupid, no, disgraceful for doing such a stupid act to not just anybody, but to his best friend. He gritted his teeth trying to push back the resentment and regret as he pulled out a cigarette.
Lighting it up, he felt a sense of calmness entering the mix of confusion and anger. He blew out the polluting air as he gave out a breath. Her father would kill him, maybe even butcher him alive.
"It's okay," he heard his girlfriend's voice.
"It's not," he took in the blunt and blew.
"You should speak to her," she said comfortingly as she walked closer to him.
"I can't," he started as he looked down ashamed, "... Not after what I did."
"It..."
"... It was an accident," his girlfriend tried.
"Right?" she asked unsure as she noticed the guilt crossing his face.
"I'm sorry," he apologised grabbing her hands, "... I guess it just happened," he continued quickly, "... But I love you and I never wanted to hurt you again," he looked into her eyes, "... I want us to be together because I know you love me and I always love you."
"Kiba," she started to cry and he hated it.
He knew he was the cause of such pain. It was always his fault and he wondered if he was destined to live this life alone since he always makes mistake when it comes to women. He squeezed her hands knowing that she wanted to hit him and possibly run away like she did before, but he didn't want her to run away, not anymore.
"I..." she started, but he stopped her.
"Please," he placed his head against hers where they saw nothing, but the depths of their eyes, "... I promise I won't kiss anyone beside you, I promise to take you with me everywhere I go," he paused, "... Maybe not the bathroom... Unless you want to join me..." he smiled slightly, "... I love you, please take me back."
It was silent as he closed his eyes. His heart was beating so fast that everything was swirling in his mind and he felt like he was going to puke. Nothing but the sound of their breathing entered his ears and he wondered if he was going to survive this terrible scenario.
"Kiba," she spoke tenderly and he opened his eyes to look at her.
If he could read her eyes, he would know what she was going to say. If he could read her mind, he would feel a whole lot better than what he was feeling now, and if he loved her more, maybe he wouldn't feel this pain.
"I don't understand," she questioned, "... Why are you doing this!"
"My my, you are such a talker aren't you?" the female laughed, "... The boy before spoke so little compared to you," she emited another laughter.
"Wha..." she was going to say but she felt something sharp touching the skin of her left arm.
"Listen to me woman," the female smirked, "... Those who are close to her will die," and with that she laughed and walked away.
She was frightened, absolutely terrified. Who the heck is this woman and what the hell does she want? She was so confused and in denial that such a thing was taking place.
"Tenten..." a weak voice spoke up causing the brown eyed female to look toward the voice.
"Hinata?" she asked as she seek the dark haired woman only to be shocked.
There she was hanging limply as the chains held her up against the wall. Blood, dried and fresh was running down both her arms making the bunned hair woman shake uneasily.
"Hinata!"
"I need your help..." she spoke softly into the speaker.
"I don't think it's a good idea," the voice said through the ear piece, "... I'm sorry..."
"Oh..." was all she said as she let the silence enter their ears.
"Can anyone else?" he asked concerned.
"No..." she continued, "... I'm scared, something is going on..." she let the pause sink in as she blinked softly, "... Thank you," she smiled, "... For talking to me, I should go," she finalised and was about to hang up, but the voice on the other side interrupted her.
"Ino," he said confident, yet worriedly, "... Stay where you are, I'm coming."
"How can this be!" Lee yelled confused.
"Because it is," the blonde mumbled angrily.
"This is your fault," the bowl haired male screamed pointing his finger at the raven haired woman.
"Lee, you're pointing at Kimi," Gaara informed as he stared confused.
"I did nothing!" she defend.
"Since you got here things has been different!" the green suited male announced, "... Right after Ino left, you showed up! You were instantly connected to Naruto right off the bat trying to be his girlfriend when he told you time and time again that he already has one," he looked toward the blonde for a affirmation, "... Then the letters stopped," he glared at the woman, "... Didn't you try to stop Naruto from writing to her? So possibly you could've intercepted the letters from both parties before they were sent or received," he paused, "... Naruto announces that he wanted to wed Ino, now all of a sudden, Kiba had kissed her?" he looks dumbfounded, "... What's next? Someone goes missing!"
"That is exactly it!" a familiar voice called out.
"Neji," the blonde spoke.
"Hinata is missing!" Neji announces, "... I need help."
"How the hell did I get here," it was more of a statement than a question.
"Don't know," the other commented.
"You're that boy," the person recognised, "... Who took her first kiss."
"Who are you?" the onyx eyed male asked.
"Names Kabuto," he paused, "... Close friend of Yamanaka Ino."
A short pause as the raven haired male gulped.
"Uchiha Sasuke," he informed, "... It was an accident."
"Yes," the silver haired male smirk, "... So I heard."
"See you two getting along," a voice spoke up.
"A woman," Kabuto observed, "... Wonderful..." he ended unenthused.
"Such a predictable man you are Kabuto," she started, "... Slaving over paperworks."
"That's why they call me a workaholic," he stated offering a smile.
"How charming," she smirked, "... The handsome Sasuke," she paused to look him over, "... Dashing as always."
"What do you want," the dashing man stated.
"Your blood," she laughed as if it was a joke.
"You a vampire?" Kabuto asked kindly.
"You can say that," she smiled walking toward a different direction, "... Tell me," she paused, "... Is she worth killing?" she finished switching on a light to show bubble gum hair miced with blood.
"Sakura," the raven haired male breathed out.
"What is your purpose vampress?" the silver haired male asked calmly.
"Your blonde friend," she started as she walked toward another direction, "... I want her to see how her friends suffer," she laughed, "... Feel their pain and make a sacrifice," she stopped, "... Someone will die," she smirked as she switched on all the lights to show the others she has taken, "... Will she show up in time? That is the question."
