(Disclaimer: Heya my peeps! Wat up? Third chapter already! Woot! I lush your reviews! Okay, I'm gonna let my OC tell it to ya straight up…
Emoko: Deadly0Suicidal0Lover does not own Naruto or any of the Naruto characters. She does, however, own me, Anazi, Apiiko and the plot!)
Jade ran swiftly through the shadows. She had gotten in successfully, and was now looking for the crates Shizune had mentioned. Jade didn't understand the need to look at a bunch of boxes, but she was too terrifies of Shizune to say anything. Even though Tsunade was the leader, everyone basically followed Shizune's orders. Tsunade was too wasted most of the time to even think right. She sighed. Jade had no idea why she entered the Purple Roses…No, that was a lie. Tsunade had found Jade in a orphanage, and when no one else adopted her because of her pink hair, she happily took Jade under her wing.
Jade felt as if she owes her for that. Tsunade had been a great mom. She held Jade when she fell and was crying or when she was waking up from a nightmare screaming. Tsunade hated being mom. She said it made her feel old. Jade smiled behind her mask. She hated killing, but for Tsunade, she would murder the whole world happily.
She reached a hallway that held many doors. She thought briefly about opening them but decided against it, she didn't need another bullet wound. Jade turned around and ran the other way. Her feet didn't make any noise on the floor. The night was silent. She stopped at a huge metal door with a window at the top. Jade was about to peek through the window, when she felt the air on her right move. She quickly jumped to the left, just as the blast happened.
Jade looked around and saw two figures moving toward her quickly. She threw her arms up in time to block the punch thrown at her. Jade grabbed the arm and used the momentum for the earlier blow to turn and throw her attacker into the air. She turned, and saw a kunai coming toward her face. Jade caught the kunai in her hand, twirling it around.
The person she had thrown laughed, getting up. Her attackers were both girls, they were wearing the Konoha headband. They looked exactly alike except for their hair colors. One had jet black short hair and the other had long dark chocolate colored hair. The black haired one whipped out another kunai and pointed it at Jade, "Do you think you can just waltz around Konoha property without getting caught?"
The brown haired girl stood up, brushing herself off, "Heh, think again. Apiiko, do you wanna go first?"
'Why, thank you dear Anazi." said the black hair girl, Apiiko.
Jade remained silent, getting into a fighting stance. She reached for the knife that was strapped to her belt, but before her finger got even close, Apiiko lunged for her. Jade moved back, but was soon blocked by Anazi. Jade cursed under her breathe. She changed her mind and went to the offensive, lashing out at Apiiko with her knife. Apiiko blocked it with her kunai, and Anazi kicked Jade back a few feet.
Jade groaned on the ground, getting up quickly. The sisters ran towards Jade, and she jumped out of the way, unsheathing her twin blades, while discarding her knife. Anazi reached for a long sword that was strapped to her back, which she used to swing at Jade. Jade brought one of her blades up to stop her swing and used the other to try and maim her. But all it did was graze her arm because Apiiko had moved her out of the way.
Anazi looked at her arm, wincing, "You bitch!"
Apiiko threw herself at Jade, kunai raised. Jade found herself pinned to the ground by the woman. She raised her kunai, but Jade pushed her off, stabbing her with a blade.
The two sisters moved back a little. They looked at each other's wounds while Jade got up. Anazi reached for Apiiko's cut and touched it with her finger. The blood from her sister now coated her index finger. Anazi raised her hand to her lips and licked the blood off smiling. Apiiko did the same.
Jade's eyes widened as they both ran towards her. Shit.
Apiiko threw the kunai toward Jade. She dodged, the kunai hitting the wall next to her. Apiiko smiled widely. Jade looked back at the kunai just in time to see it explode. The force of the blast sent her flying back. Apiiko laughed, the sound make Jade shiver.
She got up from the ground hastily, bringing up her blades. Jade wasn't stupid. She knew that she was out numbered. If only she could isolate one sister from the other. Her thoughts were abruptly halted as Anazi charged at her with her sword raised.

Crimson walked silently down the hall of the warehouse. His leader had ordered him to guard a prisoner. Konoha had captured one of the Purple Roses and they need him to interrogate the member. And while he was here, he was supposed to help move the new weaponry.
He sighed. Crimson was above these petty tasks. His thoughts drifted to a certain woman that he had danced with. He unconsciously smirked. Crimson wondered when he would meet her again. He didn't even know her name and that frustrated him slightly. When he got back to the headquarters, he was going to use the database to find out more about her.
His heart beat faster when Crimson thought about her. That was not good. He could not be distracted, especially when Konoha was being threatened by the Purple Roses. The Purple Rose was a organization created by one of the Great Sannin, the founders of Konoha. No one knew who that was but it was suspected that it was Tsunade, the ex-wire of Jiraiya. But everyone highly doubted that rumor. Tsunade was known for her temper and her addiction to alcohol. Every time Crimson had seen her, she was drunk out of her mind. A woman like that could hardly start a rogue organization like the P.R. She had been the main leader until Jiraiya and Orochimaru, the other Great Sannin, had discovered that she was planning a revolt against the Konoha. She was unanimously kicked out of Konoha. But, then she had the audacity to cry wolf and say that it was all a plot against her, and that everything was a lie. She was crazy.
The P.R would, at random times, interfere with Konoha plans and sabotage them mercilessly. All members were in the bingo books as high class criminals. There were only six known members: The Sand Siblings, Shizune, a technology expert whose name was unknown and Jade. The Sand Siblings consisted of three people, their names unknown. Shizune was supposedly the leader of P.R's assistant, and Jade was a woman whose real name was also unknown. She was the most wanted out of all the Roses because she was the cause of mostly all the attacks on Konoha missions. And Jade had broke into the Konoha Main Branch alone, and she was still alive. No one has ever broken in and gotten away with it. This was also bad for Konoha's reputation…
Jade. The most wanted member. She made Crimson curious. He wondered how she kept her identity a secret. Every time Jade was involved with a break in, burglary, etc. She left a dark purple rose. His company wasn't stupid. They could see the symbolism behind the flower. But the interesting thing was that the rose could never be traced back to her. They had tried to find something on the rose that could connect them to her but there was nothing. It was as if the rose was untouched by humanity. The fact that they could find her even when she left evidence behind, was a bigger blow to the pride of Konoha. He reached a door, voices were leaking through it. Crimson recognized one of the voices and internally groaned. He did not want to deal with him, hell, he didn't want to deal with anyone right now. He moved his hand toward the handle, but the door was ripped open by-
"HEY! Its Itachi!" shouted Azul, "Come in, Come in!!!!"
Crimson winced slightly as he stepped into the room. He noticed his brother was there along. There was a figure tied to a chair, a bag covering the head, in the middle of the room. The figure was struggling against the restraints, but the attempts were futile.
Crimson turned his attention to Azul.
His brother glared at the blonde, "Dope, stop messing around. Do your job, for once."
Azul's face reddened, "You bastard! I always do my job!! Unlike you, Sasgay!"
…
…
…
"You asshole."
Azul's eyes narrowed.
Onyx smirked.
They lunged for each other.
Crimson grabbed each of them by their collars, stopping them at mid-flight. He glared at them, then dropped Azul. Onyx looked up at him and Crimson's glare got colder, "Stop playing these games, little brother."
Onyx ripped himself free, "You-"
The door opened.
It was Shikamaru. He walked in slowly, "Hey, guys, Jiraiya wants you all to get on with the interrogation. He needs information and he says use any means necessary. Do you want me to get Ikibi?"
Crimson shook his head. He walked to the figure in the chair who was thrashing about frantically. The ropes were cutting into the skin of their prisoner, blood seeping out as if enough of it wasn't covering him/her already. Crimson removed the bag, and froze.
(That's it for the chapter you guys. Hope you enjoyed-- Heh, Jk, its not over yet. I just wanted to mess with you guys…Don't kill me!!! Epp!!!!!)
It was her.
The woman from the club.
She look looked up at him, glaring, but then she recognized his face, and stopped moving. She looked at him with wide emerald eyes. There was a black covering her mouth that prevented her from talking. Her pink hair was a disheveled mess, matted with blood and sweat. She was covered in purple bruises, and bleeding cuts. Her outfit was torn in many places and drenched with blood.
He let out a breath he didn't know he was holding in. He had wanted to meet her again, but this! Fate was being cruel. Rage filled Crimson's eyes as he thought of the people who could've done this. They will die soon enough. No one touched what was his.
He kneeled down in front of her and reached for the gag. Her eyes narrowed and she started to thrash about again. He stopped, looking at her eyes. They were starting to fill with tears. Before he could remove the gag, Shikamaru grabbed his wrist firmly, "We are not permitted to hurt the prisoner unless necessary, Crimson, so I…request that you do not harm her, yet."
Crimson stood confused for a moment, and then he realized that they thought he was about to hurt Jade. She probably thought so too, which would explain why she was trembling so violently. He stood back up, eyes still locked with Jade's…She was beautiful, even at her worst. He wondered how he could get her out of here, without risking his job…
An idea blinded him suddenly, and he left the room swiftly.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Jade's heart was about to pop out of her chest. She had never gotten caught in her line of work before. And this situation was probably planned. How could she have fallen for a trap? She ached everywhere, the pain was almost intolerable. Almost. But the pain in her heart was overpowering physical pain.
The man. He was here. Jade felt somewhat betrayed, but she knew that wasn't fair because he was just a stranger. She couldn't blame him if she was head over heels for him. But he was different now, then from the few hours ago she had first seen him. His eyes. There were a blood red. Where was his deep, dark black eyes? She was confused. And terrified. His eyes were so cold. Emotionless. His name was Crimson, huh? It was fitting, she decided.
Jade struggled against the ropes again. They were burning into her wrists and the metal on them was cutting her open, but she could hardly give a damn. She was scared shitless, but would go down fighting! There was no way Jade would ever betray The Purple Roses. They might be sending back up right now. She commended her wishful thinking. There were four men in the room. Crimson, Onyx, A blonde man and a pineapple haired man. She had deduced that Crimson and Onyx were the main threats, but she didn't know who the other two were.
Her vision was blurring. Jade realized she had been losing a lot of blood. Well, at least she might die painlessly…Doesn't she have that right?
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Shikamaru observed the girl tied to the chair. She was a mess. His heart was filed up to the brim with guilt. She was just a girl! Probably not a day older that eighteen! Jade didn't deserve to be treated like this. They would have to kill her if she didn't cooperate. And Shikamaru knew that she wouldn't talk to them at all. He didn't want to kill her! He didn't want to harm her at all. She looked so…innocent. Her wide, frightened eyes killed him a little every time she met his eyes. They were the color of emeralds. Her hair was pink, the color of sweetness in the world. How could he harm that?
He sighed. This was too troublesome. He motioned for Onyx and Azul to leave and surprisingly, they both obeyed. He reached into his pocket for a tiny remote control.
Shikamaru walked over to Jade, pulling a chair up in front of her. He sat on the chair slowly, so he wouldn't frighten the girl. He looked straight into her eyes and started telling his lies, "Look, Jade. We don't want to harm you anymore. You're too young for this. If you just tell us what we need to know, you can walk out of this warehouse alive. I am about to ask you a series of questions, and please just answer them."
Jade narrowed her eyes at him, as he removed her gag.
"Who is the leader of The Purple Roses?"
Shikamaru silently begged every god he could think of that Jade would answer.
Silence.
Shikamaru inwardly groaned, and he pressed the blue button on the remote with slight hesitation.
Electricity traveled in wave through the metal portion of the ropes.
Jade's screaming froze his blood, and his heart.
