MAGGIE'S P.O.V.
"C'mon…" I hissed under my breath as I continued to bang on the door. I'd
been running for a full day trying to get to Konoha and now they
wouldn't let me through the effing door?! "Open the freaking door!!!
Caitlin's in trouble!!! Sarah Al-" I stopped when the door opened
revealing a very sleepy looking Erin. I threw my arms around her
shoulders and she stiffened in surprise.
"What's going on?" she asked groggily.
"Caitlin's in trouble," I said quickly.
"Ah, not you too," Erin grumbled turning around beckoning me
inside. I tilted my head. Me... too? I followed her inside.
Lacey and Victoria were sitting on the couch and Sarah was drifting
off in the chair. Naruto was leaning up against the wall, while Kiba
was spread out on the floor. I looked to Victoria, "You had the dream
too?"
"No, I did," Lacey said. When I saw the cup of tea in her hand I
felt my adrenaline rush die out and I slumped over. I pulled myself
over to the couch and collapsed next to Lacey. "So what are we going
to do?" I asked. Erin came back from the kitchen and handed me a cup
of tea. I took a sip and nodded to her and she sat on the floor
resting her head on Kiba's stomach.
"Well, what CAN we do? I mean, we can't just barge in there and
grab Caitlin," Sarah muttered. I nodded, she was right.
"And none of us have mastered that one technique," Erin added.
Lacey looked to Victoria and smirked.
"Actually… I think one of us has." We all looked at Victoria and
she glanced up.
"What?" she said, her gaze going to all of our faces.
"Lacey?" I said, "How do you know Victoria can…?"
"I've seen her with Tobi. She can turn into animals, but not
humans, which actually would be better," Lacey said.
"I'm confused," Victoria whined, "No wait… maybe not." Every girl
in the room smiled slightly and the tension eased up slightly.
"Okay, so... She'll turn into what animal?" Sarah questioned.
"Maybe… a bat," Lacey muttered. I nodded with understanding but
everyone else looked very confused.
"Why?" Naruto asked, "What good would a bat do?"
CAITLIN'S P.O.V.
My stomach growled for the fiftieth time today and I heard the iron
door swing open down the hall. Sasuke was back. I heard the foot steps
and I curled up under the itchy blanket. Sasuke wasn't... the same
anymore. The door swung open and he walked in. His obsidian eyes
pierced my own green ones and I looked away. I could practically see
the sadistic smirk on his face.
"Caitlin.." He hissed, "Orochimaru-sama wants to see you." I
gulped. Orochimaru hadn't ever called me in before, and to be honest..
I wasn't exactly looking forward to it. Ever since we got here,
Sasuke's basically been his slave.
"Why?" I muttered.
"Oh, I dunno, and nor do I care." I flinched visibly and I heard
him chuckle. I slowly stood up and made my way to the door. I looked
up and stared him in the eye.
"I hope you rot in Hell, bastard," I whispered. His smirk grew and
he motioned outside the door. As soon as I took a step he had roughly
grabbed my shoulders and pinned me against the wall. I growled and put
my hands on his chest to push him away. He didn't budge. I let a tear
escape my already cried-out eyes. I was totally helpless. He bit
sharply at my neck and I hissed in pain. I punched his right cheek and
he faltered only a second and I took that small opportunity. I shoved
him away and started running down the hall. No way in hell was I
staying here.
I gasped as I felt my arm break when he grabbed me. My mouth was
open in silent cry and he dragged me in the opposite direction.
"You'll pay for that one, Caitlin," he said emotionlessly. I followed
obediently, wincing as his grip tighten on my upper arm. Please, I'd
kinda like to be rescued right about now.
LACEY'S P.O.V.
So we had a plan. Good.
"So, now what?" Sarah asked in her chair, eyes already closed.
"We won't be any good unless we have some sleep," Kiba groaned. I
sighed, "Fine you pansies, we'll sleep and THEN save Caitlin."
Everyone but Maggie and I remained seated. Everyone rushed to their
room. I looked over to my best friend.
"Your eyes have gotten worse," I commented. I noticed a smirk and
blush come over her face.
"I haven't been getting much sleep," she said. My eyes widened and
I shouted, "YOU DID WHAT????!!!!!" She fell over from the sheer force
of my voice, and when she sat up her face was the colour of Gaara's
hair.
"N-Not THAT far!" she squeaked.
"Oh really," I said standing rolling my eyes.
"I promise," she said a bit more steadily. I put my hands on my
hips and continued to glare at her. "Well.." She said looking at the
carpet, "We're always getting interrupted when we start to…
progress." I blinked in surprise.
"By who?" I asked. She started to frown at the carpet.
"Kankuro, I'm thinking he's as concerned about his brother's
virginity as you are mine," she grumbled. I couldn't help but laugh.
"S-Seriously?!" I asked though fits of laughter. He glare turned to
me and she huffed. "Don't 'hff' at me," I said still laughing. She
growled and stomped her foot. "Did you just stomp your foot?" I asked.
A whole new fit of laughter began…
