"It's been weeks since we met Hatake, of course nothing will have-"
Iruka paused, registering and analysing what Kakashi had just said. The two glared right at one another, the tension causing Celeste's heart to pound away.
"What did you say about Sheer?" Iruka almost snarled, tightening his grip on her.
Kakashi simply smiled and within an instant, Sheer was against the wall and Iruka and Kakashi were engaged in a full on fist fight, tumbling around the tiny space and causing Sheer to awaken. She was shocked to see the two men fully going at it.
"STOP!" Celeste and Sheer shouted, leaping to their feet and dragging the two men apart. Sheer's arms pulled away at Kakashi's waist and Celeste at Iruka's shirt. They were getting nowhere until a sudden jolt on the road caused them to be thrown in different directions. Celeste was splayed against the floor with Iruka beside her, his pony tail coming loose whilst Kakashi's full body weight had been thrown against Sheer, causing her to yelp out.
Iruka and Celeste were instantly at her side whilst Kakashi readjusted his headband.
The vehicle was stopped. And there were voices outside.
"I'm fine, I'm fine but guys, we've stopped.
A gnawing sense of dread ate away at the back of their minds as they all stood and backed away into the corne furthest away from the door.
And just like that, the door was flung open, letting in warm sunlight and foreign brightness. Their dark room was illuminated, causing them to shield their eyes in the ever-present discomfort.
Various silhouettes appeared in front of them through the door frame, gleaming down at the ninjas who were prepared to fight.
"Iruka stand down. It's best to wait rather than fight now. Just submit." Kakashi signalled to Iruka, the former ANBU who understood the hand signs.
The two men were grabbed first, being roughly handled and laughed at whilst the girls were lifted up over the shoulders of two men dressed fully in black.
Humiliated and shocked, Sheer complained and pleaded to be allowed to walk.
"Sorry miss no can do. Can't have you hurt yourself..." The suggestive tone of the enemy nin dressed in all black disturbed her and she shuddered as she heard the other nin wolf whistle at the two females.
Iruka who was being roughly handled just ahead looked backwards in despair, his eyes swivelling to see who would even dare.
Sheer hid her face in shame, tears stinging at the back of her eyes...
