Chapter 4 (Saiya POV)
"Ow," I groaned in pain when I woke up. I was lying on the floor staring at the ceiling. I sat up slowly, the pain somewhat dulled. So I wasn't dreaming was I?
I managed to roll over my stomach and looked through my still open door into Zina's apartment. The door was wide open and there was no sign of her. So last night actually happened. I couldn't register the fact that Zina was gone. I stood up slowly, and slowly made my way to the couch. I sat down and just stared at the wall. A picture of Zina and I hung there, and for hours, I just stared at it.
The day passed and I didn't even realize it. My door still was wide open, and Kakashi eventually showed up.
"Saiya?" I heard Kakashi's voice permeate through my consciousness.
I felt a blanket being draped over me, and a cup of something warm into my hands.
"Everyone was worried when you didn't show up today. You okay?" Kakashi asked me.
I turned to face him. His face and voice registered and I started crying; out of pain and loss.
"They took her!" I sobbed into his shoulder. "They took Zina! And I couldn't do anything!"
I felt his hands wrap around me and he spoke calmly. "Who took her?"
I wiped my eyes slowly. "Akatsuki."
His one visible eye narrowed and he stood up.
"Who was it?" he asked me, his back turned toward me.
"Itachi Uchiha, and Kisame Hoshigaki," I said quietly.
I winced slightly when we sat back down. "What happened to you?"
"Itachi did something to me," I said sadly. "I'm in pain everywhere."
"We have to get you to the hospital. And Lord Hokage and the ANBU have to know about this incident," Kakashi said forcefully. "Focus on the Chuunin exams for now."
He helped me up, then carried me to the hospital. Once Kakashi left, I just laid back in bed. I could feel the morphine take effect.
I forgot to mention one thing to them; Akatsuki wanted me to join. If I didn't, I was sure that it would mean the death of my friend Zina.
A/N: I am so sorry that this chapter is so short! I do not own Naruto or anything of it. Review please!
