Chapter 16

Kiba and Kankuro easily got into Alabasta, now all they have to do is find and save Awaii, then find Gin and stick his backstabbing ass in jail. Since they both pretty much knew Gin would be in his office, or at the same area Awaiis being held at, they decided to stick together.

Kiba looked down at Akamaru, "try to smell for Awaii, she's around her somewhere" Akamaru nodded and began sniffing for Awaii, as did Kiba.

Kankuro, on the other hand, decided he was going to try and since Awaiis Chakra. He figured that since she didn't know how to control it that well, that she wouldn't be able to mask it either. He closed his eyes, and began concentrating. He then heard Gaaras voice call out to him, 'Kankuro.' Kankuros eyes shot open, and he looked around.

Kiba looked at Kankuro as though he had finally lost it, "What's wrong, do you since Awaii?" He asked

The puppet master shook his head, "I heard Gaara" He replied. He sounded a bit uncertain if he had really heard it, or if he was just hearing things. That was until he noticed small specs of sand floating around his head, "Gaara?"

The sand then began to spell out where Awaii was at: Under Ground Cell. Kankuro then began to run towards the main building, Kiba and Akamaru following not far behind him.

They stopped in front of the main building of the tower, only because they were being blocked by a very big, very buff guy. He looked like he could very easily squash Kiba and Kankuro with just one foot.

This guys size didn't bother Kiba or Kankuro, "Move" The both demanded. Akamaru let out a loud growl, looking as though he was ready to attack if this giant even sneezed.

But the guard stood there and glared down at Kiba and Kankuro, "Not gonna happen, I got orders to let no one enter"

Kiba glared, and stepped forward, "I have nothing against you, but if you don't get the hell out of my way, I will become your worst nightmare"

The guard reached back and pulled out two very familiar daggers, "I'm Not Moving!" He said again, "But I will happily kill you with Captain-I'm sorry, Former Captain Awaiis daggers" He smiled, "but don't worry, if you miss her, you both will be reunited with her very soon"

Making a fist at his side, Kankuro lunged at the enormous guard, and tackled him to the ground. While on the ground Kankuro began beating the shit out of the guard, but the guard wasn't laying still, he too, was thrashing around cutting Kankuro with Awaiis daggers.

"Go…Go Get Awaii….NOW!" Kankuro shouted still punching the guard, and getting cut at the same time.

Kiba nodded and rushed into the building, as soon as he entered the building, he could smell both blood and Awaii. He began running to were the smell was the strongest, until he cam to a damp, dark, and cold dungeon area.

He looked around, expecting more guards….but there were no guards there. Was he in the right area, he sniffed again, yea he was defiantly in the right area, he could smell Awaii all over this place.

"Awaii!" He shouted, "Awaii if you can hear me, make a noise to let me know your okay"

--

Once Kiba was inside the building and out of Kankuros site, he jumped off the guard and applied a few Chakra strings onto the mans body. Kankuro knew he had to keep this giant at least until he knew that Awaii was safe.

"you cant save the dead" The guard scoffed, trying to free himself from Kankuros strings.

"you better hope Awaii isn't dead, because if she is Kiba and I wont be the only ones coming after you" Kankuro explained.

The man laughed when he noticed Kankuro already panting from his massive amount of lost blood, "Looks like you wont be making it much further puppet boy" He smirked, "Your just like that bitch Awai, wanna know how I killed her" The guard asked with a very disturbing look on his face.

He opened his mouth to say something when his eyes suddenly widened and he dropped Awaiis daggers on the ground. Kankuro didn't know if this guy was acting or not, but he released his Chakra strings, and the guard dropped to the ground, with a Kunai sticking out of his back.

"there's no way a wimp like you could even lay a hand on Captain Awaii" A man that Kankuro recognized as Kataro, the kid Awaii had been training since before they found Kankuro in the forest. Kataro looked up at Kankuro, "Hayashi if you want to save Captain Awaii, then follow me."

Kankuro nodded, and the two men ran down into the same area Kiba ran to. Once down in the damp, dark, and cold room, they saw Kiba and Akamaru looking into a cell. It seemed as though Kiba was trying to get into the cell.

Kankuro and Kataro ran over to Kiba, and looked into the cell, only to see Gin holding Awaii with a long sword at her neck.

"Oh good more company" Gin said as Kankuro and Kataro approached the bars, "I guess that means the guard I ordered to watch this place is dead"

Awaii looked over at Kankuro, and noticed he was holding her daggers-he picked up from the guard-. She moved her hand just enough so that Kankuro could see she was trying to get him to hand her, her daggers. Kankuro dropped the daggers on the ground, and they shot over into Awaiis hands.

She then stabbed them into Gins stomach, just barley missing herself. As Gin fell to the ground, he cut Awaii in the arm with the sword he was holding. Awaii too, fell to the ground, due to the fact that she hadn't eaten in days, and she was beaten up pretty badly.

Kiba then busted the bars open, and rushed over to Awaii, "We need to get you to the hospital fast!" He went to pick her up, but noticed that Gin was still awake.

He glared at the man, and then prepared himself to attack the man. Kiba and Akamaru hit Gin with 'Fang over Fang' and knocked him out completely. Then Kiba picked up Awaii, and Kataro grabbed Gin, then the men headed out of the village and into Sand.

Once inside Sand, Kataro and Gin were taken for questioning, while Awaii and Kankuro were rushed to the hospital.

Kankuro had some deep cuts, and was low on chakra, but he refused to stay in the hospital. After being wrapped up, he walked over to Awaiis room. He looked around and noticed that already waiting at the door was Kiba, Red, and Hissori. "Are they not letting anyone in the room?"

Kiba shook his head, "they are doing some tests right now…and made us all leave the room"

--IN AWAIIS ROOM--

Awaii, had to stay in the hospital, she was dehydrated, starved, and had many wounds that needed to be treated. Awaii looked at the doctor with a very worried look in her face, "please tell me that my baby is going to be okay"

"I'm going to have to do an ultrasound to make sure you baby is okay, but before I can do that, I'm going to need to ask you some questions" The doctor explained.

Awaii nodded, "Ask whatever you need, I'll answer anything"

"First, I need to know who your regular doctor is. The one you have been seeing for your regular check ups" the doctor asked looking up from her charts.

Awaii shook her head, "I haven't seen any doctors….Kiba and I have been trying to keep this to ourselves…not really knowing how to tell anyone else"

The female doctor shook her head, and sighed, "I guess that means you don't know hoe long you are either" Awaii shook her head, "Do you understand that by not seeing a doctor sooner than today, you could of already lost this child."

Awaii looked down, she really wished Kiba and the others could come in the room with her, she didn't enjoy getting scolded at for not seeing a doctor.

"Could you lay on your back, and lift up your gown so I can see your stomach" The doctor asked, and Awai did as se was asked. Exposing her little baby bump, "Now this gel is going to be a little cold, but please bare with me"

She applied the gel on Awaii stomach-which was freezing cold-and began to run a rolly thing around Awaiis stomach, while looking at a screen.

"How's it look? Is my baby okay?" Awaii asked looking at the doctor with an even more worried look on her face.

The doctor smiled, and nodded, "You and your babies are going to be okay"

Awaii raised her eyebrow, "babies? As in more than one baby" she asked.

The doctor nodded again, "You are about 3 months pregnant, and you are carrying twins, that is why you are already showing as much as you are"

"A-Are you serious" She asked again, "do you know what gender…I mean can you tell?"

The doctor shook her head, and removed the roller from Awaiis stomach, "I wont be able to know the sex of your children until you are further along" She explained, "to tell you the truth, I'm quiet surprised that these babies aren't dead, if you want to keep them alive, you should start seeing a doctor on a normal bases"

Awaii nodded, and fixed her-uncomfortable-hospital gown, "I promise I'll start seeing a doctor"

"Good" The doctor then left the room, and allowed everyone back into Awaiis room.

Kiba walked over to Awaiis side, "So…is everything okay?" He asked

Awaii nodded, "We are going to have twins…or at least that's what the doctor said" she told them.

"Congrats Awaii" Red and Hissori said, they both seemed happy that she was okay. But still needed to talk to Awaii, to ask her if she really experienced the same thing they did.

Awaii looked over at Red and Hissori, then at Kiba and Kankuro, "Umm….do you guys mind if I talk to Red and Hissori alone…just for a little while" Awaii asked Kiba and Kankuro.

They nodded, and left the room, leaving Red Hissori and Awaii alone in the room.

"I want to know….did what happened while I was in the cell, really happen….I mean did you both talk to me" She asked her friends.

Red and Hissori looked at each other, and then back at Awaii, "Yes" Red said, "Somehow we where all connected, but the connection was broken when I was woken up by Temari"

"Shikamaru woke me up, and that's what broke my connections" Hissori said

"I was also woken up, but how…how where we able to connect?" Awaii asked.

Both Hissori and Red shrugged, none of them knew how it had happened, they were just glad that it did happen. Because they were able to help Awaii without putting anyone in even more danger.

The three friends all seemed to have the same expression on there faces, each one of them placed a hand on there stomach, then looked back at each other, "You don't think…" Hissori asked

"Could they of….but how?" Awaii asked

Red smiled, " I think they did"

-End of Chapter, okay, so NOW do you know what connected the three friends….if not, then tell me and I'll tell you. Well I hope you guys liked this chapter, it had some action in it…and I know it seems like Kiba didn't do anything, but he did, remember he knocked Gin out, well anyways, tell me what you think-
