Chapter 6: Bandit Camp
In between Magma and Sound Kingdom
"Ugh, I am so sick of this secrecy, captive thing. Oooo my head feels like a ton of bricks were crammed in my head… grrr stupid, druggie, kidnapping bandits! Urg I bet that Sasuke guy did this, Kami he's so annoying and arrogant, he thinks hot shit but he is nothing but a cold, chicken butt loser! Though I feel like I have seen him before…. so familiar… but from where… In the castle, perhaps… No I would definitely remember seeing that annoying smirk and chicken butt hair around the castle, if not there, where? Hm, maybe I'm just going crazy, I mean I have been kidnapped TWICE today… my thoughts are not exactly coherent… hmmm " Sakura thought as she slowly began to wake up to find herself in a tent with Hinata, her hands were no longer bound, it was a start, but she knew that she was still far from being free. She crawled on her hands and knees toward the entrance of the tent; Hinata was still knocked out from whatever drug they were given to knock them out, it looked like she was solo right now. The tent smelled like a mixture of pork ramen, pine, and boots, ew. There were two sleeping bags where here and Hinata slept a lantern, a square box and some spare supplies, etc. basically the bare minimum. She looked at her hands and realized that she was crawling on dirt, a normal princess would squeal and cry that her dress was getting ruined but not Sakura personally she was glad her dress was getting ruined she hated it anyway. She opened the flap and peered out, cautiously she was in a camp of some sort. There were men and a few women milling around doing various activities from sparing to mending clothes, etc. They all were wearing the black masks with the raven on the side, Sakura frowned as she hid behind barrels so as to not be spotted, she was waiting for the right moment when she felt strong arms wrap around her torso and a hand clamp on her mouth muffling her scream, she smelled fire, woods, and musk. The hands felt rough from holding a sword or working with wood for awhile,
"Hey there Pinky, any reason why you are sneaking around?" a deep, husky voice whispered in her ear, she instantly recognized it as Sasuke's. She could hear the smirk in his voice, which caused her to get even more annoyed she struggled against his hold. He took her behind a tent, once there he let go of her which earned him a death glare, she 'humphed ' and blew some hair from her face, she could only imagine how messy her hair looked,
"Don't call me Pinky, chicken butt! And for your information, I was just stretching my legs." She said in an annoyed tone, a she huffed and Sasuke gave her a death glare back at the name chicken hair, he smirked,
"Feisty, though I would watch if I were you Pinky, it could get you in trouble." He said in a teasing way though there was a subtle hint of a threat in it which Sakura caught. Sakura just huffed and muttered 'whatever, chicken butt'. Sasuke's eye twitched but he composed himself so his face had his trademark cold, emotionless look,
"Hn, whatever….. You got a name Pinky?" he asked in a monotone, bored voice as he leaned against a tree. Sakura stiffened a bit as she looked down, she bit her bottom lip. She could not say her real name in fear that he might recognize her as the princess, though he did not seem to notice her as royalty so it would not hurt. "Better be safe…" Sakura thought as she said the first name that came to her,
"Ayame Nagashi…. Yes Ayame Nagashi." Sakura said in a convincing tone as she nodded and smirked, Sasuke's eyebrow perked up fractionally 'Ayame? Hn, she does not look like one… she seems familiar. Those green eyes and pink hair… hm… 'Sasuke thought as he sighed he as probably just imagining it, to him all girls looked and act the same, all were annoying and clingy.
"Hey, now I get to ask you a question. It's only fair right?" Sakura said in a even voice, Sasuke just smirked and shook his head,
"Sorry Pinky or Ayame, I'm the only one who asks questions here. Sorry to disappoint, well… get comfortable and see you around." Sasuke said in a bored, yet amused tone as he saluted and disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Sakura turned red with annoyance; she clenched her fist that Sasuke guy seemed to know how to push her buttons, what she would not give to wipe that stupid smirk of his face or cut off that chicken butt hair. She stormed off to go ponder on the situation she and Hinata were in and figure out how to escape without that Sasuke jerk finding out. The first problem was, a. they don't know where they are, for all she knows they could be in a completely different kingdom! Second, b. they do not have any money, supplies, or transportation; well they could always take from the bandits… it would be a good lesson for that Sasuke jerk, "a taste of his own medicine." Sakura thought evilly as she smirked, just imagining the pissed off, confused look on his face as he we would find them gone as well as most of his stuff. Sakura satisfied herself with this image for a bit before she really took in her situation and everything that has happened in the past 24 hours, her expression was that of annoyance and sadness. First her birthday party was ruined and she was kidnapped by these unknown bandits, then Sasuke and his band of bandits re-kidnapped her and Hinata again, all in all a hellish 18th birthday, she held the amulet and could feel it's power, it was warm but there was evilness in it that creeped her out, she let go of it and frowned, 'I hope Mom and Dad are OK… who were those guys anyway?' Sakura thought as she remembered the men and the yellow snake eyes they had as their emblem, it unnerved her just thinking about it.
Hinata's P.O.V.
'Ugh… wh-what happened? O-Oh no, that's right we were kidnapped! Wh-where is S-sakura-hime?' Hinata thought frantically as she woke up in an empty tent with a bad headache. She had a worried expression as she searched the tent but found no sign of the pink haired princess, she sat down her eyes wide, what if something bad happened to her? Kakashi-san would not be pleased. Hinata started crying but stopped when somebody entered the tent. She could smell ramen and pine, she looked up and lavender clashed with cerulean eyes, her face felt hot as a small blush crept on her pale skin, she scooted back as far as the tent would allow her to, which was not very far. Naruto's eyes narrowed and he had a slight frown on his face,
"Ne, are you feeling sick? Why is your face so red er… um… what is your name?" He asked in a forward manner that was typical of Naruto, Hinata looked down and blushed a bit deeper,
"M-My n-name i-is H-H-Hinata… " Hinata mumbled quietly, Naruto had to move closer just to hear it, he leaned back and smiled,
"Hinata. That's a very pretty name especially for a pretty girl like you. He he, hey do you like ramen? Are you hungry? Sorry about the drug, it's the Teme's policy and unfortunately he is the boss and my best friend though sometimes he does not act like it." Naruto said in a teasing yet annoyed tone but then he laughed and rubbed the back of his head. Hinata giggled a bit but then remembered where she was and what was going on and became quiet again, he was a bandit and she was a hostage for all she knew he could be lulling her into a false sense of security. But he did not seem like he would hurt her, just the opposite he was funny, sweet, and had a great smile that made you believe that anything is possible not at all what she imagined a bandit to be and he was really cute as well.
Cave of Souls
The menacing fog filled the cave and the yellow eyes appeared before a few hooded figures, it narrowed and the air around them hissed with displeasure.
"Where isssss the princessss? I ask you to do a simple tasssk and all I get is failure! Unacceptable!" The eyes said in a raspy, angry voice that shook the entire cave, some of the hooded figures shook in the wake of the eyes' fury. The hooded figure in the middle remained still as if the anger was nothing; he looked up at the eyes,
"I assure you my lord; we will not fail you again. I have some of my agents looking for the princess as we speak, this is only a small hiccup in your plan my lord. All will go as planned, I assure you." The hooded figure said with calm assurance though there was a hint of arrogance in it. This seemed to appease the eyes only fractionally, the fog began to retract into the abyss,
` "Fine, I trussst you will not fail me again…. I want that amulet and the princess is the key in obtaining it… GO!" The evil voice commanded which caused many of the hooded figures to disappear into the shadows, except the one in the middle; he was the last one to leave. If one was not mistaken they would swear that he was wearing glasses but the thing with caves is that the lights can play tricks on one's imagination and perception. The yellow eyes disappeared in the ominous fog but the creepy laugh still lingered in the air for a bit then the cave went silent; only the sound of the 'drip, drip' of water from above could be heard. Elsewhere a group searches for what was taken from them, in the forests bordering their kingdom.
