Chapter 7: Terrified
Tenten was scared. She'd been scared since she'd learned about the alliance going bad. She cursed herself. Why had she let Ino talk her into it? She'd known it was wrong, yet she went along with it anyways. She scolded herself for her lack of courage and letting Ino use her as a doormat. Now she was in trouble, big trouble and god knew what the Hokage would do to her. She was feeling sick enough as it was. She'd started vomiting yesterday morning; she had chalked it up to stress. Now as she was being escorted to the Hokage's office she felt even worse.
Across town Ino showed no emotion as she walked through town. She would do nothing and say nothing. And she hoped that spineless sack Tenten would keep her mouth shut too.
The girls were in front of Tsunade once again. Inos' attitude hadn't changed, she was still rebellious and stone faced as ever. Tenten on the other hand looked pale and miserable. Tsunade almost felt sorry for her, almost.
"So you still have nothing to say?"
Silence.
"Fine, take them away," she commanded the two ANBU that appeared behind them. They took the black cloth hoods in their hands and put them over the girls' heads, bound their hands with rope and took them out.
"Kakashi?"
Poking his head through the window he waved once, "Yo."
"Take it easy on Tenten. She doesn't look well. As for Ino, tell him I don't care what he does."
Kakashi left, following the girls to the interrogation rooms. He found his fellow interrogator and relayed the Hokages message, and went on his way.
Tenten was trying her hardest not to cry. She was terrified and sick. They stopped walking, she heard a door open and they walked through. She was sat in a chair, hands unbound and the hood pulled off. In front of her sat Hatake Kakashi. "Hi."
