Unwanted?
Chapter Four – Break In and Rescue
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, sadly.
Rated T for language and safety.
She smiled at him before closing the piano and standing up, "That's a hard song to sing," she croaked, messaging her throat.
"Really? I don't think I could even get that high in pitch,"
Sakura punched his arm lightly and rolled her eyes, "I'm going back to the library," she grunted, turning to leave.
Sasuke watched her leave, curiously. She was an odd woman, indeed.
Hinata and Neji moved through the house cautiously. You never knew when someone would come out of the doors. A diamond necklace caught Hinata's eye. Funny how people left things like this laying around. She scooped it up and slid it into her pocket.
And then a door slowly started to open. Neji caught his breath and looked around. There was a closet door that was slightly ajar. He pulled his cousin into it, their hands on each other's mouths to keep noise from escaping them.
A nine year old boy walked past the closet, rubbing his eyes. He walked back down the hall with a glass of water in his right hand and with a teddy bear in his left. Hinata let out of sigh of relief when she heard the boy's bedroom door close.
Suddenly the cousins heard skin hitting skin and a scream.
A man shouted loudly at her, "Don't you dare call the cops or you're dead!" they heard a gun shot and glass shattering.
Neji nodded to Hinata and she started dialing the police.
"Hello, 911, yes, I just heard a gun shot from my neighbors house, I think someone may be trying to kill someone else. 34Th Cottage Street. Oh really? A girl ran away from the orphanage last night on this street, maybe it's connected to this or something. Oh, the police will be here soon, thank you, I'm very worried."
Hinata pressed the off button and whispered, "We need to get out of here, now, the police are only a couple streets away 'cause they're after Sakura-chan,"
Neji tensed, checked to see if the hallway was empty. He could still hear the yells of the man from the room down the hall. And the child was probably to scared to leave his room. Hinata left the phone on a suit case and they sprinted on tip-toes through the house and out the open window they had come through.
"The lights of police cars are flashing," Ino growled, "Let's get out of here,"
Tenten, Naruto, Neji, and Hinata nodded before the five sprinted down the street. They disappeared into the darkness as the police cruisers appeared in front of the yellow house.
"Mission accomplished!" Naruto cried, smiling as they walked through the garden and toward the house.
Tenten nodded, "Did you guys run into trouble? Any dogs or anything?"
Neji shook his head and said, "We had to hide in the closet because the kid went to get something to drink, but other than that it want smoothly,"
Hinata smiled, "It feels good to help people."
"Yeah, we have to thank Sakura for giving us the address," Ino said, as they walked up the porch steps.
"We'll do that in the morning, I think she might be asleep," Tenten pointed out.
"We'll tell everyone how it went when they wake up," Neji said, opening the door.
They each went to their separate rooms, expect for Tenten and Hinata, who shared one. When Naruto got to his room he shared with Sasuke, he was surprised to see his roommate awake.
"What are you doing up?" he asked Sasuke, walking over to his cot.
"Couldn't sleep," Sasuke told his best friend, "So I decided to read,"
"Romeo and Juliet?"
"Sakura suggested it,"
Naruto rolled his eyes and fell on the cot.
"So how'd it go?" Sasuke asked as Naruto lit his candle on his bedside table.
"Smoothly, 'cept for the fact that the police were only just a couple streets away from where we were," Naruto told him.
"Whys that?"
"Because of you're girlfriend,"
"Eh?"
"Sakura."
"She ain't my girlfriend!"
"Sure... Anyway, the police, I guess, had been searching for her since this morning when the orphanage people discovered she was missing."
"Damn it," Sasuke cursed.
"Don't worry, they'll give up soon, they did with all of us,"
"And we're still on the missing persons list,"
"But that was when we were eight, the pictures they have are totally different from what we look like now,"
"But here's the thing, Naruto, if they see us with her, any of us, they'll realize that all of us are with her. They'll think we're gathering or something, and we are. They'll follow her back here and find us, all of us."
"But our parents aren't alive like Tenten's, or Hinata's, or Kiba's," Naruto reminded him.
"Does it matter? Since neither of us have living relatives, we'll wind up in the orphanage like how Sakura was,"
"SHIT!" Naruto growled loudly, "While everyone goes to their parents, we'll be stuck in the stinkin' orphanage until we're eighteen!"
"Which is only a year away," Sasuke told him, rolling over onto his side and blowing out his candle.
"You going to sleep?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah, you wore me out with your talking,"
"Teme."
"Dobe."
I enjoyed writing this chapter, especially the part at the end where Naruto and Sasuke are talking. And especially the last two lines. I wrote it late at night so I thought it was humorous. xDD
Thank you for reading!
