Chapter Thirty-Eight
Party Time is Dying Time
Back at the hotel Kakashi and Sai leave to take up there positions for the night. Sai would release a series of small mice and insects to spy on the event, there chakra was so low as to be below a normal bug and he had worked out a near transparent coloring so they are even harder to spot.
Kakashi would take the high ground by staying on the roof of a building overlooking the entrance. When Naruto pointed out that would be the spot any good shinobi would look for a spy his response was a little laugh at the idea of him getting spotted.
Sitting on the bed waiting for the girls to come out of the bathroom Naruto couldn't help but worry. This was a high value target and he was sure there would be security to match. He had deployed an army of clones around the area hedged into nondescript civilians but even he can't have eyes everywhere.
Hearing the door open he looked up at a pair of giggling party girls dressed for a night out on the town. Ino was wearing a little black dress with a plunging neck line showing off everything she had with little left to the imagination. Seeing his eyes on her she spun around showing him her nearly bare back and round ass. The dressed ended a hands width above the knee so at least she wasn't giving away all the goods.
Sakura on the other hand had let her other self pick out the cloths as she was at the level of a over the top sex goddess . A pink & white sequence dress that was so short he could almost see her panties, a matching neckline as Ino but her dress was much looser and flowing on top so he was sure if she bent over everyone would be getting a show, she clearly she was not wearing a bra. Naruto had the thought that the other Sakura was running the show tonight as the Sakura he knows would not be dressed like this on her own free will.
Giggling into her hands she turns around so he can see she had no back to the dress and he could almost see the top of her wonderfully tight little ass before the dress covered it in pink and white sparkles.
Bending over to put on her shoes Naruto was given a great view of her bright red thong panties. Little Naruto was asking for attention at this point and Ino decided to give him a show as she also put on black her high heels, running her hands up her own legs while looking him in the eye.
"Karma, you guys are going to give guys a heart attack", he said trying to cover his own excitement.
"That is the plan big boy." a grinning Ino says walking over to stand in front of him with her hands on her hips, legs slightly spread as if expecting something. "Come on Ino, we don't have time for that. We have to be down in the lobby in 15 minutes.", said Sakura pulling Ino away.
"Don't forget the plan, stay focused on the target and don't get side tracked," said Naruto as they grabbed there shawls to cover there shoulders, "Don't worry, just don't forget your part." said Sakura opening the door and walking out with Ino close behind.
….
"Dammit were is that man." thought Ino as she stood in the lobby with Sakura, it was a little to cold for these dresses to be standing around waiting for any man. Sakura had found her way to one of the heating ducts and was standing over it darning Ino to say anything.
The people in the lobby had given then a good looking over before deciding it wasn't worth the effort to ask why they were dressed like that. The eyes of the men on her ass gave Ino a warm angry feeling but she didn't react to it. She was trying to stay focused on the mission, her nerves were getting to her as she was jumping every time the lobby doors opened.
Walking over to Sakura she said, "What do you think? We got stood up?" Just then the Lobby door opened and in walked there host with two very large men dressed in Jonin uniforms.
"Ah Ino my dear, so sorry for making you wait, matters of state and all that. Oh, who is your lovely friend here." Said the man Ino had spent the nigh dancing with. She felt a cold shiver run up her spine as it dawned on her she didn't remember his name.
Turning to Sakura with panic in her eyes, Ino motioned for Sakura to do something. Sakura stepped forward with her hand out saying, "Hi, I am Akia, so nice to meet you and your Oh so large friends."
He took her hand in both of his, pulling her closer he kissed her on both cheeks and laughed, "I hope you will enjoy tonight, I hear it is going to be spectacular, come , come, the carriage is waiting, we don't want to be later then we already are." He said pushing the girls forward with a hand on each of there backs. Ino felt his hand going dangerously low but he stopped himself just in time.
With Sakura sitting facing me between those two gorillas we exchanged looks, time for the plan.
"So, What do you do for the village.", said Sakura, leaning out from between the two body guards to look our host in the eye. She gave a cute little smile and wink with a tilt of the head, I almost moved to kiss her myself. Let's see how he handles flirty little sex pot Sakura jutsu.
Laughing he puts his hand on my knee and slides it up an inch or so before saying, " I am the defense minister, Kusunoki Yukimura. At your service my lady."
I pull his hand into mine and cross my legs tight hoping he gets the hint but it seems unlikely as he just moved a little closer and did it again. A giggling Sakura pulls his attention back to her as she crossed her legs giving us both a quick flash of red panties.
"That sounds so exciting, so you like defend the village and stuff, huh? Isn't that like dangerous?" Said Sakura with both hands on her knee bouncing between the two men. The old fashion carriage was cute and impressive but anything but a smooth ride.
I couldn't help but notices the two guards had there eyes pinned to my chest as each bounce gave them a little show. Happy they were thinking with there little heads and not there brains I ignored them completely.
"Well I don't defend the village myself, that is what these two gentlemen are for, but I am the guiding hand behind the scenes." Said Yukimura once again trying his luck on sliding his hand a little higher. What was he thinking I would spread my legs for him before dinner. I am play the part of a snow country party girl not a local street walker.
One of the Jonin staring out the windows said, "We are here lord Kusunoki."
Sliding out of the carriage without showing the world all my goods was a challenge I hadn't planned for but once out and standing next the the carriage we looked around. The grand entrance was awe-inspiring made from white marble with carvings of birds in the railings, walking up the stairs to the Manson I noticed Sai was right, the building was hanging off the edge of the cliff over looking a valley full of mist, seeing lights far below I recalled the tour leading saying they had lights on the vines for a show later tonight.
As we reach the 10 foot tall oak doors the two hired muscle moved ahead to open them, the sound of laughter and loud music filled the air as we walked in. Head held high I knew this was the first and only chance to make an impression.
Taking the lead I put all my training to the test as I swayed my hips and used the three inch heels to extend my legs to the max. I know I look good and I want everyone to know, I command the attention of every man in sight and more then a couple of women before lord Kusunoki takes my arm and guilds me deeper into the room. Seems he wanted everyone to know I was with him tonight.
As we walk around the large fountain in the lobby I can see that the music is coming from a stage at the far side next to a impressive dance flood. There must be 300 people in the room, most of them dancing to the rapping of a guy named Killer Bee, the sign with his name in lights is over kill but I guess his or the hosts ego required it. As his singing isn't that good but people are dancing, I see the open bar and guess they have been drinking for a couple of hours before we got there.
We are on the main floor and I see lots of young women in little dresses dancing with older men. "What kind of party is this?", I whisper to Sakura standing next to me, she is looking around with wide eyes and I think its not an act as I was feeling a little overwhelmed.
"I have no idea but this is crazy.", said Sakura look to me.
"Come, come, lets get drinks and find a nice spot to talk," said lord Kusunoki pulling Ino along with Sakura following behind. For a guy she just met he sure was grabby.
The bar was controled chaos as Lots of very strong drinks were being poured out into waiting hands as fast as the bartender could move, before they were handed anything Ino pulls Sakura onto the dance floor, leaving Kusunoki holding two drinks. Moving to the beat and trying not the listen to the raps of that large fool on the stage they start to draw a lot of attention. Seems ninja training has giving them a natural grace and flexibility that is useful on the dance floor.
"Dam rich Snow country snobs." said a guy who had one to many drinks already. Sakura pulls me closer and tries to say over the music. "Your blonde hair really makes you stand out Ino, you're the only one here."
"True, almost everyone in Snow Country is a blonde and only ones with money could afford to come to this village and especially this party." thought Ino shaking her ass with Sakura giving that guy the finger with a smile.
Taking a break I grab Sakura and pull her away from some guy rubbing against her ass and head over to the bar. Getting a couple of drinks we head over to the balcony to get away from that Fool, Dam Fool, as he sings out over and over again. Having a bother run the village has its advantages I guess, as we walk outside for some fresh air.
"Hey Ino, look over there, isn't that the guy that owns this place.", said Sakura still playing the party girl by giggling that last part out in her hand as she pointed with her drink.
Finely, I see Yosuke Akimoto, a large fat man in flowing robs trying to hide his girth talking to everyone, trying to shake everyone's hands as he works his way around the party. The large drink in his hand spills a couple of times as he stumbling around the bar emptying his glass and holding it out to the bartender to refill. "Dam man is drinking top shelf whiskey like it water,", Ino pointed out to Sakura as she leaned against the railing with a 2000 foot drop behind her.
Placing her glass of wine on the railing she studies the targets movements and the way he talks to people. "Do you see any guards or assistants around him.", Ino said to Sakura who was also watching him closely over the rim of her wine glass.
"Ya, that little balding guy in the blue coat is following him around like a puppy and he looks like a big suck-up.", Inner said before Sakura had a chance to stop her.
I give Sakura a look of disapproval before I have a chance to remind her we need to focus, Yukimura shows up with his two shadows.
"Ino, my dear you ran off so quickly, come sit with me and lets have a couple of drinks before you run off to the dance floor again.", he said with a fake smile, clearly not happy with the way Ino and Sakura ran off.
I turn to him trying to come up with an excuse and knock my wine glass off the railing, looking over I see it disappear into the mist below. Yukimura laughs, "Someone is going to enjoy stepping on that next time they pick grapes," he laughs pulling Ino away from the rail and guiding her to a circular sofa near the back of the room.
Looking over my shoulder I see the two goons have Sakura pinned between them and forcing her to follow behind. She doesn't look happy but was still playing the drunk party girl so she didn't put up much of a fight.
Sitting down on a round circular sofa Yukimura hands out drinks and start talking about who is who at the party , he seems to imply he can get them in touch with many business men for trading in the snow country. I tune him out and focuses on the guest talking and eating around the room. I nods to Sakura when I see Yosuke Akimoto at a buffet table, standing still filling a plate with food, I figures now would be the best chance.
As I lean back to do the mind transfer Jutsu, Sakura moves to sit next to me in case my body needs a little protection for the next 30 minutes.
"Girls, girls, lets have a toast to a profitable night." Yukimura yells out as one of the Jonin shows up with shot glasses on a small plate, not thinking about it I grab a glass keeping the target the center of my attention.
Yukimura holds out his glass in a traditional toast, as we hit our glasses together and down the hot burning liquid I see Akimoto moving away so I elbow Sakura to get her attention and form the hand signs for the mind transfer Jutsu.
I suddenly feel fat and sweaty and more then a little drunk as I look at the plate of food in my hand. Looking around I see a beautiful blonde with a pink haired party doll leaning over her next to a slime looking guy. Figuring Sakura can deal with the fallout of my passing out I move away from the table leaving the plate and drink behind.
Spotting the little blue coat guy I wave him over, "Yes sir, how can I be of assistance." He says with a small bow. "Take me to my office,", I say with an exaggerated drunk walk so he doesn't question my request. "Get me some guard, I don't want to be disturbed." I say hoping he has a way to call them over without drawing to much attention.
With a little wave of his hand we are surrounded by four large men, they don't look like they are having any fun as they take there place front and back as we walk to a set of double doors at the end of the hall. Surprisingly his office seems to be right of the main room next to the balcony doors.
"Leave me and don't let anyone in this room for any reason." I say to the guards, "I want you to make sure all member of the family are here and don't leave tonight, got it?", I said to the blue coat guy hopping he is the right person to assign to this task. He looks at me for a second and then clicks his heels together and leaves the room.
Searching the desk, I pull out all the draws and see a basic seal on the side of one, I push some chakra into it and a bags of gold coins pops into existence, falling over the top of the draw with some coins landing on the floor. "Someone must have been in a real hurry to have sealed a open bag". I think pulling the bag out and laying it on the desk. I move onto the book shelves, still not finding any of the incriminating evidence I need to finish the mission I step back to think. Getting a little frustrated I look around and then seeing a picture on the wall, would he use the oldest trick in the book I think looking behind the painting.
"Dam," I say out loud seeing a safe in the wall. There is no dial but a seal next to the handle. I try chakra and it doesn't work, looking closer I see small stains on the seal, realizing its a blood seal I pick up a small knife of the desk and cut my thumb, running the blood across the seal with a little chakra I hear a click and with a twist of the handle the door swings wide.
Papers, lots of papers all in nice labeled folders, I start to pull them out, laying them in piles, trade deals, border maps, Kumogakure Genin missions schedules, slave trade agreements , missing shinobi reports and Genin blood line reports. The puzzle begins to take shape once I find his ledger of payments. He used another blood seal with a explosive tag inside if you tried to force it open. "Clearly not expecting a Yamanaka." , Ino laughs to herself.
Pay dirt, payments from Iwagakure for turning over mission schedules, bounce payments for blood lines, slave trade of young girls with a little note about needing to do another party! Oh my god it all falls into place.
The final piece that would put an end not only to Yukimura but all of his gang, a contract with Akatsuki to sell information on Killer Bee and Yugito Nii next missions.
Using a paper clone Jutsu to make copies of all the papers I Lay out all the original papers on the desk and around the office. I throw the clone copies on the floor and around safe as if I had a fit of anger before picking up the Killer Bee contact and head for the door. Seeing the bag of money still on the desk I had an idea.
I takes the bag of money and some of the Genin reports, along with the Bee contact and walks out to main floor. That dam fool was still singing, with Bee incoherent rhymes filling the room I walk over and kicks over the speakers next to the stage. Its show time and lets see how they feel about a drunk host laying it all on the line.
I yell at the top of my voice, "I hate you and your singing, you sound like a dam fool with no talent and muscles for brains." Shaking the papers in the air to get his and everybody else's attention I pause for a second so everyone is looking at me.
"You and all the shinobi are worthless, all you do is take and give nothing back." I continue screaming as I staggers over to the open balcony doors.
"You!" I pause pointing at Bee who was walking over to me with a puzzled look. "And your shinobi friends all need to die, your nothing without us merchant paying for you. You hear ME NOTHING!"
Using all the strength this body had I throw the bag of coins at Kill Bee, he hits it out of the air and the money flies everywhere causing the crowd to surge forward, most of the young girl were from poor families with nothing to there names.
As people go crazy picking up the coins from the floor I walks out to balcony and looks over the edge to make sure this is the right spot.
Turning back to Bee who is 10 feet away I say. "You and your Dam blood lines, you would be nothing if you hadn't been able to hold that dam demon in your gut." The now pissed off look on Bee's face tell me I hit a shore spot for him so I continue.
"I want you all dead!", I say throwing papers in Bee's face, he catches some and look at them reading payment reports from Iwagakure on slave trade of Kumo Genin with blood lines.
Bee looks up with at first shock and then hate in his eyes, "You trader!", he screams in my face, "Oh you don't know the half of it," I say slapping him in the face with the Akatsuki contact. As he starts to read the document he stares at me over the papers, "Fuck you all!" I scream as the the crowd watch Yosuke Akimoto falls over backwards into the mist falling 2000 feet to the winery below.
Kill Bee yell for a lock down of the mansion , "I want this place searched from top to bottom." and as he storms off a stream of Kumogakure Anbu stream into the building.
….
Ino wakes up from the mind transfer jutsu thinking she has to find a way out a window so Sai can pick her up when she feels she is in a bed. Opening her eyes she sees a naked Kusunoki Yukimura hovering over her, she tries to move but her hands are tied over her head and her body feels drugged and unresponsive. "oh this isn't good," She thinks trying to call on her chakra but whatever drug they used is preventing it.
"Snow County bitches always thinking you're to good for us." Yukimura said, "I wanted you to be awake for the fun so you can remember me before I sell you off to Iwagakure."
She feels him rub his cock against he pussy, she can only move a little but using all her will power she tries to fight back. He laughs at her struggle form, holding her down with one hand, he paws at her breast before forcing her legs wide.
"You're going to remember this night for the rest of your short miserable life bitch." He say lining himself up to penetrate her. Ino tries to scream but can't find her voice, this man is going to die she just doesn't know how or when.
With the sound of an explosion the door to the room burst open flying across the room to embed itself in the wall. A very naked Sakura marched over to the bed, Ino can see her bright red eyes are almost glowing as she punches the naked want-to-be rapist in the face breaking his jaw with a loud crack and send him flying into the wall next to the door.
"What the hell is going on?", I ask Sakura as she breaks the ropes holding be down. My head is spinning as I try to sit up. Walking is out of the question right now.
"Those shots they brought over right before you did your mind transfer jutsu were drugged." Sakura said healing the rope burns on my wrest and reaching down to check if I was bleeding.
"He didn't get a chase to do THAT." I said pushing her hand away. The look she gave me had me worried. "Sakura, are you OK, did they hurt you?", I ask, worry filling my voice.
"Don't worry about that right now, there are two Jonin's in the hallway and I think one of them might be dead so we don't have much time." Sakura said pulling me to my feet. I almost fall over but my balance is slowly coming back
Looking around I ask, "Were the fuck are my cloths." "I have no idea I couldn't find them." Sakura response was all business.
We check the room and find there are no windows, checking the draws of the night stand we find they contains nothing, using the bed sheets to cover ourselves look like the only option.
I watch Sakura pull the sheets off the bed and wrap them around me.
"so these will have to do." She said, I can tell by her voice this is the Inner Sakura talking, all business, deadly and violent to the extreme.
Helping to wrap the sheet around me I ask, "Do you know were are we."
"I have no Idea." she says as she finishes wrapper herself up and help me walk to the busted door. The room looked like any other high end hotel room but for the lack of any windows, the hallway on the other hand was pure prison, gray concert and flickering lights to add that special touch of doom.
I see the two bodies outside the door on the floor and an another door broken off its hinges 20 feet down the hallway next door. The damage is signature Sakura, looking closer at the Jonin, both have been kicked repeated in the crotch and one's neck is decidedly bent the wrong way. Seeing the other one breath I put my foot on his neck until he stops. Sakura looks at me a little funny but doesn't say anything.
No one, but no one touches my girl and gets away with it.
"We got to get out of here before they find those two Jonin in the hall." a grim faced Sakura said.
"So let me guess you were in that room, what did they do to you?" I ask, Sakura gives her a look, "lets not talk about that right now, we got to get out of here." , she responds leading the way down the hall.
Looking at the Jonins one last time I run down the hall pausing to look into the room Sakura had been held in, I see a lifeless body of a very fat man missing a head, the blood has pooled around the bed like a lake from some horror show, not seeing a head anywhere I figure I will hear the story at some point, turning away I catch up to Sakura who hadn't even looked back once, reaching the end of the hall we find a locked door with a small window. We can see stairway behind the door that only goes up so I assume we are at the bottom level of an unknown building with an unknown number of guards between us and freedom.
Running he hands around the door frame checking for alarms or trip wires she finds nothing, not even a seal to alert if the door is opened. "Stand back." Sakura told me as she puts both hands on the door frame. Using a mixture of fire and earth chakra she melts her fingers into the wall next to the frame then Sakura pulls it off the wall and throws it down the hall.
When she looks at me with those bright red eyes I start to worry, I ask, "are you OK? Y"a, I am going to be fine, I have been saving up for this day so now its time to fuck some people up and get out of here.", that strange echo to her voice tells me both Sakura's are in agreement on this.
Throwing caution to the wind we run up the stairs two at a time, by the time we get to the fourth floor I am winded and even Sakura is starting to look a little drained. Finding a door twice as big as the lower levels, with an aching top and double steel panels I stop Sakura before she has a chance to kick this one into who know what.
"Hold on a second, let me see if I can sense anything on the other side of this door before you go kicking it down, OK?" I ask Sakura as I move her to the side.
As I flow out my chakra I get feed back instantly, "There must be 30 or 40 people on the other side of this door.", I tell Sakura.
"I am not staying here one more minute, its going to be them or me." Sakura said stepping back and kicking the door as hard as she can. It flies 20 feet before landing on the floor and sliding another 50 feet until it hits the far wall.
The room looks like a lobby of an office building, its full of people dressed in suites and business dresses, they all look shocked and scared, I stop Sakura before she runs out and start a blood bath, "I have an idea, how much of the Nine-Tail chakra do you have left?".
"Enough." my little she devil says with a grim smile "Enough to flood the room with killer intent" I ask.
Sakura give me a strange look and nods her head, "Ok then you use as much as you can, freak them out, then I will walk out and scream, you follow my lead, OK, then we run for the closes exit."
Sakura stands in the shadow of the doorway and focuses all the Kyubbi chakra she has into one long blast of killer intent. I know she is flowing it around me with that perfect control of hers but I feel the effect enough to make me want to run screaming.
Once I hear the panic in the lobby I steps out into the light, I drop the sheet and scream my lungs out, "Monsters, there is a monsters coming, they tried to rape me,!" with one last scream I pick up the sheet and covering most but not all of my body, I runs for the door everyone else started running though.
Sakura seeing Ino's plan is working, uses the last of the Kyubbi's chakra, sends a fireball down the stairs enhanced with a powerful wind jutsu that drains all of her own chakra, hearing screams from below and then the smell of burning flesh she turns and runs out of the door dragging her sheet behind her, she paused for effect until all eyes are on her naked body before screaming and pointing at the door " It's full of monsters and rapist," she yells, as she starts crying, great tears flowing down her cheeks ,she runs for the door wrapping the sheet around her as she goes.
Half the people had fallen to there knees overwhelmed by the Kyubbi killer intent the others dragged them while running out the door screaming for help.
Mixing in the crowd for a minute I see Sakura crying like crazy as she comes out and I pull her to me, as I try to figure out were we are, the smell of smoke filled the air as I see fire licking out of the door we just exited. It's still night and figuring it would be best to not be seen by anyone not under the influence of the kyubbi I pull Sakura along as I run into an alley down the street. Seeing that no one followed us I look up holding hands with Sakura, I run up the side of the building to the roof to look around.
Sakura seems drained and looks a little sick so I sit her down on the roof as I go look around. I walks to the edge of the roof and looking around I see we are in the middle of the village, I turns to Sakura and find her still sitting on the roof top crying.
"Sakura are you all right?", I ask getting more worried by the moment. "Yes, Yes, I don't want to talk about it right now." she said pulling the sheets tightly around her small frame.
"Ok ,but later we have to talk, it looks like we are in the administrative section of the village so that means we should head…." I start to say before I hear behind me.
"South is the main gate." Say Kakashi as he lands next to us. Seeing the look I gave him he continues, "We been looking for you for the last three hours, what happen to you?" he said .
"Sai reported he saws the body of the target fall from the balcony but you guys didn't show up. Naruto is freaking out looking for you." He knelt down next to Sakura and seems to use a jutsu to check on her. Whatever it was it seemed to help as she stopped crying and stood up.
"Its a memory seal, it will fad in a couple of hours but you should be able to function until then." He said holding her shoulders, looking into her eyes with his one good eye.
With a gust of wind Naruto lands on the roof as we are talking and then pops as soon as he sees us, it was a clone reporting back to the real Naruto, It took all of three minutes for the real Naruto to lands on the roof and seeing Sakura tear covered face runs over and hugs her.
"Who hurt you?", he ask in a low voice, "It doesn't matter they are dead now anyway." she responds and he lets it go for now. I guess even Naruto knows when to not push it.
"We have to get out of this village fast there are shinobi all over the mansion, Killer Bee is raising hell about whatever you showed him. So far they seem to be after Yosuke's connections but I don't want to be here when A shows up and the real shit hits the fan." Kakashi said as Sai lands the roof on one of his birds and disperses it before it touches down.
"We need to get to one of the building near the cliff, they will see my birds if we try to leave from here." Sai said in his toneless voice. Looking over the girls Kakashi pulls out a storage scroll and summons out some cloths for them to wear. Not caring anymore who sees what they drop the sheets and change into the pants and shirts Kakashi handed to them.
They decide it would be best if they work there way down the wall to the alley as using the roof tops they would be to easy to spot. Keeping to the shadows, they take there time and after a couple of hours find themselves near the outer wall next to the shinobi demonstration building they visited on that first day.
Kakashi goes first and climbing up and over the walls before returning, "There are no guards come on." he said. I guess it was not guarded as this was the farthest from the main gate and looking over the edge I see a river at least 4000 feet below.
"Sorry guys, I don't have the the chakra to walk all the way down this cliff." I tell them hoping one of them will carry me. I look over at Sakura and see she is already on Naruto's back completely drained of chakra.
"We will use our original plan" Sai said as he makes 4 birds for all of them to ride on and they fly down to the river below and then head east toward the leaf village. The mission is over and Kumogakure was in chaos, by anyone's account that was a good thing.
….
The camp is quit as they sit around a smokeless fire cooking their last meal of the day. It's been two days and they haven't seen any sign that they are being followed. The smoke from the burning building could be seen for miles as it spread to the surrounding buildings. Whatever Sakura put in that Jutsu, it burned all the way down to the sub-floors and into some of the connected buildings.
This was the first time they had a chance to stop and rest, running for over 24 hours has drained even Naruto of the urge to talk. Sai's birds had only lasted 30 minutes before they ran out of chakra and dissolved into nothing, lucky for them they were flying over the tree tops and had landed quickly.
Now setting up the tents Ino decided she was going to have that talk with Sakura, the memory seal Kakashi had used burned off in the first couple of hours and Sakura had remanded glued to Naruto's back every sense.
"I think its girl talk time." I said as I pulled Sakura away from Naruto's side and almost dragged her into the small tent one of the guys setup for us. Kakashi said he would take first watch and Sai had agreed to that next so it gave us time to have a little chat.
"Come on Sakura, you have to let it out before it eats you alive, you can't hide whatever happen, especially from yourself.", I said as I zipped the tent closed and turned to face her in the dim light of the fire. I could only really make out the shadow of my friend kneeling in the middle of the tent but it was enough to tell she was hunched over is some type of pain.
"You don't understand Ino, you can't.", was her soft reply.
"The hell I can't, if you hadn't made it to that room he would have raped me, I was sure of it." I shot back before calming myself, remembering this was about her not me.
"Rape? I wasn't rape Ino, that thing in my room was so fat I don't think he could have raped me if he wanted to. It was the way he touched me, he touched everywhere and …" she paused looking up to me as if asking me to tell her to stop. I took both of her hands in mine and gave them a soft squeeze.
"Then what happen?", I asked in the best therapist voice I had.
Sakura looked at our joined hands and then back up before saying, "He used some kind of mind jutsu, he touched our mind and made us want him, he made me beg for him to continue.", she started to softly cry but I resisted the urge to pull her into a hug. She needed to let this out.
"I know a thing or two about mind jutsu, it wasn't your fault, you weren't in control.", I said using one hand to hold up her chin so she couldn't look away.
"If it wasn't for Inner Sakura I would have done anything he asked Ino, anything at all.", she shock her head free of my hand, "Inner was able to fight back, she called on all the Kyubbi chakra she had stored and … ", she grabbed my hands in a death grip and put her face inches from mine.
"She pulled his head off Ino, like you would pull out a cork from a bottle, I could only watch as she kicked him to the floor and then kicked down the door. I don't even remember clearly how I got into your room, it was all rage, an uncontrollable blinding rage."
Dropping my hands she slide back until she was pressed against the back of the tent. "I don't know how I can trust myself anymore Ino, that rage was all consuming." Hugging her knees to her chest and resting her head on them she said, "The worst part was," she paused to take a deep breath, "the worst part was I liked it, dear god I liked it." Then the dam broke and the real reason for her silence was let out as she started to cry uncontrollably.
Now I knew it was time to hug my friend, now I understood the pain she was feeling was not what had been done to her but what she had done to herself. This Inner Sakura she talked about was scaring her and bringing her pleasure all at the same time. I will need to talk to my father when we get back, there has to be a way the Yamanaka clan can help.
