After Kakashi and I finished up in the hot springs, we went back to our room to get ready for the day. By the time we were done, it was around 7:30 in the morning. I decided to go and check on the three trouble makers.
As I was making my way down to their rooms, I ran into Prince Chikao walking down the stairs. "Why hello there, beautiful. How did you sleep last night?"
"I slept quite well actually. First time in a while to be honest."
"Very good. I'm glad I could help the princess get her beauty sleep."
"And I am very grateful for it."
Chikao smiled. "Well whenever you're done with what you're doing, breakfast will be served in a half hour."
"Thank you! I'll have to let everyone know."
As I was walking away, I felt a strange presence behind me. I turned around and only saw Chikao turning the corner. I shook off the feeling and kept walking towards the trio.
I arrived at their door and heard nothing. "Guys, it's time for breakfast." I said as I knocked on the door. Nothing. No response. Not even a shuffle. "Guys? Come on, open the door." Still nothing.
I jiggled the door knob and it was locked as figured. I took a few steps back and put my shoulder out front. It took a few times running into the door but I managed to open it. They were nowhere in sight. I checked the bathroom and under the bed, even in the closet. Nothing. Their luggage was still here though. I smelled around the room too and smelt an unfamiliar scent. It was a dirty scent, nothing like anyone in the palace. I looked around a bit and saw a hole in the wall with fresh blood surrounding it. There was definitely a fight in here. I decided to cut my investigation short and run and find Kakashi.
I sprinted out of there as fast as I could. As I turned a corner, I ran into someone. I looked up and saw Kakashi regaining his balance. "(Y/n), where is everyone? And why are you running?"
"They're gone. All three of them."
"What do you mean "gone"?"
"Gone. They're not in their room or anywhere around the area."
"They're probably already down eating breakfast."
"No. You don't understand. SomeONE took them."
"What?"
"It'd be better if you saw it."
We ran towards their room and Kakashi smelled the scent too. "I don't like that smell. It doesn't seem friendly."
"Me neither. And can you figure out who's blood that is? I don't know everyone's smell yet."
Kakashi leaned in and smelled. "Sakura."
Go figure.
All of the sudden, Kakashi and I had towel's around our mouths. I tried clawing at whoever was behind me but my body fell limp. I looked to my left and saw Kakashi fall to the ground. I slowly did the same.
{Timeskip}
Ow. My head. I tried to move my hand up but found it was restrained to a chair, and so were my legs. I instantly came to senses. I turned my head and felt I was wearing a blindfold. I tried looking through it but I couldn't. It was sharingan and byakugan proof.
Shit shit shit.
I tried to scream but nothing came out. Everything hurts. It felt as if some of my rib cages were broken. I tried to move every part of my body to see what was injured. Nothing major besides my chest. Just bruises and scratches.
All of the sudden, the blindfold was ripped off of me. I saw I was only in a bra and underwear. I looked up at the person in front of me. He stunk of alcohol and... blood.
"Where am I?" I questioned.
"Shut up!" The man said as he slapped me.
I kept my gaze and repeated the question.
"Where am I?" I said with more calmness in my voice.
"God! Do you ever listen?" He said as he punched me a couple times.
Great, he broke my nose.
"Now if you can be a good girl and be quiet, I'll tell you what's going on." He said as he grabbed both arms of the chair and leaned in closer. He tilted his head and I moved my head out of the way. He leaned down to my neck and I swung my head towards his.
"Ow! What did I just say you brat?" He said as he threw his hand towards my chest.
Yep... Definitely broken.
He grabbed my chin harshly and forced me to look at him.
"My. Those eyes of yours are definitely more beautiful in person."
"Daichi. Leave her alone. She's mine. You know that."
"I'm sorry sir. I'll leave you to her." And with that, the man left the room, leaving me with another unknown man.
"I'm truly sorry about him, my sparrow. He just wanted to see the infamous Kira (my Anbu name) that he's heard oh so much about. And don't worry, you still have your innocence. That was the first time he touched you. Other than him and the person who brought you here, only I have."
I paused. "What did you call me?"
"My sparrow. Don't you remember?" The man said as he walked into view.
I looked in horror. "Ichigo? You're still alive?!"
Ichigo. One of the few men who have ever kidnapped me. It was during my second solo anbu mission ever. I had to find a man in a crowd of people and little to my knowledge a separate hitman group was out to get me. Ichigo happened to be the one out to kill me. As I was running to my target, he came up behind me. He had me for a week I believe. I ended up escaping cause he messed up tying me down one night.
"Indeed. I happened to have a medic nearby when you slit my throat."
"You're kidding." I said with a smirk.
"Not at all."
I stayed silent
"You haven't changed a bit have you? You're still the same little brat as last time."
"Clearly you haven't either from the looks of it."
"I would watch your tone. Do you realize just how much your head is worth?" He said as he swiftly brought a kunai to my neck.
"Where is he?"
"He? You mean Kakashi? Him and the rest of your group are back at your village still asleep."
"What did you do to them?"
"I did nothing. My workers on the other hand..."
"Tell me."
"Fine. The pink haired one has only a scratch, the Uchiha and Uzumaki have a few bruises and your teacher is more than a little beat up."
"What did you do to Kakashi?"
"You'll have to leave to find out."
"And how do I do that?"
"I'll leave for 5 minutes. If you can get out, you can live. If you're still here, I'll decide that later. It was really nice to see you again, my little sparrow. I'm sure it's not the last time." And with that, he left the room.
Alrighty 5 minutes. Easy.
I jerked my arms around alot and got my right arm pretty loose. I was able to bend my neck down far enough to bite the rope a bit. It was enough to help my hand slip through.
Having my right hand free, I freed the rest of my trapped limbs. I stood up and wobbled a bit but regained balance quickly. I looked around to see if I could find any clothes and to my luck there were. It was a simple cloak but it's enough to cover me. I did one last look-around to see if there was anything of value. There was nothing.
I managed to find a door which led outside.
I have no idea where I am...
I tried to use my smell but I can't use anything. Uncle Orochi must've drugged me with something. I put the hood on of the cloak and hopped to the top of the surrounding trees. I looked around and saw my village. As soon as I calculated the distance, I booked it home.
{Timeskip}
I landed in the trees in front of the gates until I realized I don't have contacts in.
I can't have them seeing them.
I did some quick thinking and grabbed a sharp branch, shut my eyes, and scratched them both.
That gives me an excuse to cover my eyes.
I hopped down and approached the guards. It seems Izumo and Kotestsu are on break.
"Halt! State your name and business-"
"Wait, that's Lord Third's daughter. Are you okay, miss?"
"I'm fine, just let me in. I'll get help once I'm in."
"Of course I miss."
They both bowed and let me through the gates.
I ran straight towards Karachi's apartment to see what all happened to him.
Ichigo better not have done anything.
I ended up at his place super fast. I managed to avoid people so that was a nice bonus.
I arrived at his door and waited a second before opening it.
