Ok yes I'm back again. Sorry its been a long time since I've updated. I really am. But here it is.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
Last Time:
"HELP! HELP! CAN ANYONE HELP US? SOMETHING BAD HAS HAPPENED!" Tenten screeched as she ran into the room.
"Tenten, what's wrong calm down your hysterical!" Sakura said releasing herself from Sasuke and heading over to the older girl.
"I-its Hinata... she's gotten worse!" Tenten was panting for breathe. Everyone's eyes were wide.
Tenten ignored Sakura's pleads for sanity. She was hysterical. She quickly grabbed Naruto by the arm and pulled him out of the room, to Hinata.
"Tenten! What happened?" Naruto asked concerned about Hinata.
"Blood… so much blood…" Tenten faintly replied to no one. Soon they burst into the room. Naruto running to Hinata's side, as Tenten collapsed to the ground. Neji was at Hinata's side.
Meanwhile:
Sakura watched Tenten run out the room with Naruto. Sakura nodded to herself. She looked at Sasuke. It was time for her to be the strong one. She walked over to Sasuke. "I'm sorry… its my turn to do the leaving… not you." Sakura turned away from him and walked out following Tenten.
Sasuke stood there, watching Sakura walk away.
Back With Hinata, Tenten, Naruto, and Neji
Neji stood at Hinata's side, until a stern voice replied "Aw. Too bad about the girl. She was an easy target too. Hope the others prove to be better practice." The Male voice answered.
"Come show yourself." Neji's voice answered.
"Catch me if you can." The voice replied and foot steps were heard running off. Neji booked into a run.
Tenten looked up at the sudden movement. "Neji!" She screeched and rushed to her feet, beginning to chase him. As she went to exit the door she crashed into someone. She looked up to see pink hair. "Sakura?"
"Are you going to get off… or let Hinata die?" Sakura asked and Tenten scrambled off of her.
"Sorry…" Tenten sheepishly replied. She then remembered Neji running off. "Shit!" Tenten said as she ran off after Neji. Sakura hurried to work.
"Neji!" The brunette yelled as she seen Neji. Neji turned around. Tenten walked over to him.
"Tenten, I lost him… I lost him!" Neji kept looking around.
"Neji its ok, just lets just go back to Hinata. Sakura is helping her right now."
"No… you go back to her… there's a reason why Sasuke wanted Sakura to stay and I'm going to find out." Neji clenched his teeth and ran off again. Tenten just stood there watching Neji run off.
"Well, who's the damsel in distress now?" a cold voice sounded through the room, making shivers run down Tenten's back.
"Who is there? This isn't funny. You're the one who hurt Hinata aren't you…" Tenten's voice got softer as a light pressure was set to her neck. Tenten's body gave into the darkness. A masked man picked up Tenten's limp form and ran off.
As Neji reentered the ball room, he walked calmly over to Sasuke. Grabbing Sasuke by the neck he threw him into a wall. "You have two seconds to explain to me why Sakura wasn't allowed to help Hinata-sama."
"Hn." Sasuke replied and that was when Neji started punching Sasuke. Ino looked shocked at this. Shikamaru pulled Neji off Sasuke. Sasuke fell to the ground, his face bleeding.
"If Hinata-sama dies because of you I swear I'll kill you." Neji glared at Sasuke as flipped open his phone.
"Hmm… brown hair… brown eyes. Well Neji, it seems whoever hurt Hinata just got Tenten too." Sasuke replied look up from his phone.
Ino stood silently watching the three males. Shikamaru nodded to Ino. "Neji, take Ino and I to where Hinata, Naruto, and Sakura are. We'll stay put. They will be safe and you can go look for Tenten." Shikamaru instructed. Neji nodded and walked out, Ino and Shikamaru following him silently.
As they walked into the room where the wounded girl lay, they realized that Sakura had gotten Hinata stable, and Hinata lay awake in the pain.
"Neji thank god! We got her awake… stopped the bleeding, so she should be ok… but she lost a lot of blood." Sakura smiled looking up from Hinata's side.
"That's good." Neji replied softly.
"Oi! Neji, where's Tenten? She went after you…" Naruto asked confused.
".. Someone took her." Neji replied silently and ran out the door.
"WHAT SOMEONE TOOK HER?!" Sakura screamed.
"Oi, Sakura shut up." Ino held her head.
Neji ran down the hall ways, looking into every open room. When Sasuke came into view walking into a room, Neji peeked his head in. It looked like a bed room that might belong to whoever owned this castle. On the bed was Tenten, lying unconscious.
"This girl… any importance, or sssshould we just kill her?" Orochimaru asked hissing.
"She's the best girl runner. So yeah… we have a reason to kill her… plus it will bring out my rival." Sasuke imputed looking from Tenten to Orochimaru.
"Would you like to kill her?" The masked man who brought Tenten in the room asked Sasuke. The man took off his mask to reveal Kabuto. Suddenly Tenten popped up, eyes wide open.
"Where am I?" She asked frantically. She looked at Sasuke. "Sasuke… what's going on? Where am I?"
"Tenten… you'll be safe soon enough." Sasuke pulled out a knife. That's when Neji burst in.
"Sasuke I knew it was you. I knew it." Tenten whispered. She gasped when Neji came in. She got up and ran behind him.
"Tenten… go… find your way to the others and stay put." Neji was glaring daggers into Sasuke's head.
"Ugh! I'M NOT A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS! I CAN HANDLE MYSELF JUST FINE!" Tenten screamed.
"Yeah, having a knife almost in your chest is handling yourself real well." Neji muttered. "Just go… Hinata is awake and probably will be wondering where you are."
"Hinata… is awake?" Tenten seemed shocked. Neji nodded, not breaking focus. "Ok then I'll go." Tenten ran out of the room. You could hear her footsteps slowly go away.
"Neji, we don't mean any harm… to people of lower standards." Sasuke chuckled. Neji glared and backed out of the room and began to run. A scream echoed through the castle.
I'm sooooooo sorry it took so long to get this chapter out. I've been having issues with my computer, I lost this chapter at least 4 times. I feel awful about it. I hope it isn't too sucky.
