Okay guys, sorry I haven't posted in a while. I was on holidays and just got back into it now.
I had this mass epiphany the day before my holidays and wrote down every idea that came to me, so I basically have notes for the rest of my entire story! So hopefully I can get it all written to you!
PLEASE NOTE: I start year 12 on the 7th of February, and I have a lot of holiday homework that I haven't done, so please bear with me if my pace of uploading chapters decreases. I will be trying my best to keep up to date.
AND, my profile picture is Kaiya! I drew her myself today; she's my original design and creation. So I hope you like her!
Enjoy!
Episode Five – PANIC:
Sasuke continued to stare at the man infront of him, his heart racing.
"Orochimaru...?" he breathed.
"Yes, dear boy," Orochimaru hissed through his teeth, letting his abnormal tongue slide out from between his teeth.
Kabuto jumped out from the trees and landed beside his master, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose with his hand.
"I see you found them, Lord Orochimaru," Kabuto sneered.
Sasuke still stood, paralyzed with shock and confusion. He heard a loud moan from near the trees. Sasuke's eyes flicked towards Kaiya. She was about 15 meters away, trying to pick her sorry self up from the dirt. She failed and collapsed. Sasuke flinched.
Kabuto's glance shifted to Kaiya. He immediately leapt over to her and stood over her beaten body. He reached down and grabbed her by the hair and raised her up. She squealed and thrashed in protest and pain as blood spat and dripped from her mouth. Kabuto just uttered an evil laughed as he watched Kaiya suffer.
"Let her go!" Sasuke blurted out. He immediately regretted that.
Orochimaru snickered. "Ah, I see you've grown quite fond of this young girl, hm, Sasuke?" he smirked.
"Shut up! What are you doing here?" Sasuke demanded.
"We've come for the girl," Kabuto answered.
Sasuke silently gasped and glanced at Kaiya, who had stopped thrashing once she heard this, her expression filled with concern and fear.
What do they want with her…?
Sasuke rested his hand on the handle-tip of his sword. Orochimaru' eyes narrowed menacingly as he caught Sasuke doing this.
"Calm down, dear boy, we only want the girl," he hissed.
Sasuke couldn't understand what was going on. Those two just leave him day in and day out, and now they suddenly pop out of nowhere, wanting to kidnap Kaiya? What sick things did they have in mind? Sasuke certainly didn't want any harm coming to Kaiya.
"Sasuke…" Kaiya croaked. "Help me…!"
Sasuke wanted to run and swoop Kaiya from Kabuto's filthy hands, but he couldn't. He didn't want Kaiya to get hurt any more than she already was.
Sasuke's temper began to rage within him.
"What do you want with her?" Sasuke demanded once again.
Orochimaru uttered his trademark evil laugh.
"That's for me to know, and for you to never find out!" he growled.
Sasuke's expression turned cold and hard. This was getting annoying. But before Sasuke could make a single move, Orochimaru vanished and reappeared inches from Sasuke's face, and jammed his fist up into Sasuke's gut.
Sasuke fell to the ground, choking and spluttering.
"Oh, and Sasuke, your services are no longer required."
As Sasuke had fallen, Kabuto jammed a needle into Kaiya's neck. Instantly, her body went limp. He picked her up, and Orochimaru and Kabuto vanished into the trees.
Sasuke cried out in desperation. He picked himself up from the ground and headed after them. Something shiny caught Sasuke's eye before he had managed to run off. He ran over to see Kaiya's locket lying in the dirt. He picked it up, shoved it in his pocket and headed off.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
It took Sasuke days to find the lab. Every hidden lab he stumbled across was empty. But he never gave up. He searched every empty lab and continued on. Three days passed by before Sasuke had finally reached the hidden lab where Kaiya was in.
Sasuke stopped at the entrance to catch his breath. His legs were numb and his lungs were burning.
He had only been in this lab a few times before.
I just hope this is the right lab… I hope I'm not too late…
Sasuke entered the lab and headed straight for the prison cells, located at the back of the lab. Orochimaru and Kabuto were no where to be sensed, so Sasuke hurried to the cells, incase they would return soon.
The lab was cold and deserted. Sasuke passed rooms that contained specimen in jars that Orochimaru experimented with. Others were empty, while one room contained a crummy looking bed. Water dripped from the ceiling and echoed down the looming passageways. Sasuke's feet scraped gently on the concrete floor as he neared the prison cells.
Sasuke could hear soft sobbing sounds getting closer and closer. He picked up to a jogging pace and finally reached the prison cells.
"Kaiya?" he called softly.
The sobbing instantly became louder and chains began to rustle on the concrete floor.
"Sasuke? Sasuke? Is that you?" a soft, frightened voice called out desperately.
Sasuke reached Kaiya's cell. It was small and dirty. A pile of straw with a sheet over it lay in one corner, while a small bowl for food, and one for water, lay in the other. He gasped at her horrible condition.
She was on the floor, too weak to stand. Still beaten and bloodied, she wept and gazed into Sasuke's onyx eyes in fear. Tears began to stream down her cheeks as she scrambled to the bars on her hands and knees.
"Oh Sasuke! Oh I thought… I thought you'd never come! I-I've been here for f-four days! I-I thought you…" she couldn't speak anymore. Her head bowed; her words drowned out by her loud sobs.
Sasuke fell to his knees. He reached through the bars and rested his hands on Kaiya's cheeks, and held her face up so it was level with his.
She looked up at him. Her emerald eyes gleamed through her tears and were crying out for help.
"I-I thought you'd left me…" she croaked through her sobs.
"I'd never leave you," he whispered to himself. Kaiya didn't seem to hear this as she lowered her head and sobbed even louder.
Kaiya's hands reached up and gripped his forearms tightly and only gripped tighter and tighter.
"Get me out of here…" she wept. "Please, Sasuke, please get me out of here!"
She yelped in pain. Sasuke flinched. Realizing how tightly she was gripped Sasuke's forearm, she immediately released her left arm and let it flop to her knees. Sasuke gazed down at it. Whatever was hurting her was covered by her sleeve, so he reached down and pulled it up. Her left arm had a huge gash, one inch deep and four inches long. The pressure of her arm had broken the long scab that covered it and began to ooze blood.
"You're hurt…"
"It's just a scratch, Sasuke, I'll be fine," she replied, her voice calmer now that Sasuke was here.
"D'you have any water?" she asked.
Sasuke removed his right hand from her cheek, reached around and pulled out a small vile of water and handed it to Kaiya. Instead of drinking it, she poured it on the concrete floor.
"What are you—?"
Kaiya raised a hand and cut Sasuke short. She shooshed him and began to make hand signs with her non-injured hand. She then rested that hand on the small puddle, and suddenly, the water seeped up from the concrete and covered her hand, like a glowing glove. Sasuke gasped at this incredible power. Kaiya pulled back her long sleeve and then rested her water-gloved hand on her deep wound and held it there for a moment. Her gash absorbed the water, and just like Naruto's healing abilities, her gash vanished in the same fashion, the remaining water dripped off her forearm.
Kaiya sighed in relief.
Sasuke was speechless.
After a few seconds, he managed to speak.
"What… How did…? Where did you…?"
Kaiya mustered a weak smile.
"Special powers," she muttered. "Now, get me out of here!"
"No."
Kaiya gasped.
"No? What do you mean no?" she demanded.
"Tell me what's going on! I want to know why Orochimaru is so fascinated with you. Why has he captured you? Kaiya, I need to know what's going on!" he cried in desperation.
"Forget about that!" she said shrilly. "Just bust me out of here! Please! We can't risk staying here any longer, Sasuke!"
Sasuke dropped the question, and began devising a way to bust Kaiya out of the cell.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
After various attempts to bust Kaiya out of her cell, they succeeded. Sasuke pulled Kaiya to her feet and led her to the exit.
Before the two could reach the exit, Kabuto clones suddenly stared popping out of nowhere.
"They're back! Run!" Sasuke ordered.
Kaiya nodded, gripped Sasuke's arm tight and followed him. They sprinted and weaved through clones. Sasuke had whipped out a kunai and was disposing of the clones to make an escape route.
But as fast as Sasuke would get rid of the clones, more and more would appear. In no time, they had Sasuke and Kaiya surrounded.
Sasuke tried to fight, but the clones were surprisingly strong.
Kaiya shrieked.
Sasuke turned around to see Kaiya being pulled away by 5 of the clones.
"Nooo!" Sasuke cried. He furiously fought at the clones, but he was no match; he was worn out from searching for Kaiya.
The clones had Sasuke pinned down. He couldn't move.
He heard Kaiya being dragged off into the distance, kicking and screaming in terror.
So, I hope this chapter has firmly grabbed your attention.
Getting good, ay? Hahaha.

Also, I need another review to keep going!
And thankyou to those who have been posting reviews! I really appreciate it!
Peace, xx
