Chapter 11

 

~Kidnapped~

 

 

~Next Morning~

 

Kankuro turned in his bed and sat up with a start, sweat beading down his head. He rubbed the liquid from his brow and turned to the warm body lying next to him. *it was just a dream* Phoenix began to stir. Kankuro lying down beside her, pulled her body flush up against his hugging her to him. Phoenix roused slightly and buried her head in his chest. Kankuro kissed her forehead and they both drifted back off to sleep.

 

~On the path to Suna~

 

“Um Shika?” Haru asked. “Yes my troublesome women?” Hau lightly laughed at the remark, “What would you say to moving to Suna?” Shikamaru turned and stopped quirking an eyebrow, “What? Why do you ask?” Haru looking down at the ground started digging her foot in the dirt, “I don't know I love Konoha and I love being with you, but I miss Phoenix and Ryu and Temari, Kankuro and Gaara too.” Haru let a sigh escape her mouth, but she looked up and stared Shikamaru in the eyes, “but I will be wherever you are. I love you and I want to be with you….forever.” Haru's cheeks started to heat up. Shikamaru chuckled lightly, “I'll think about it, is that ok?” Haru brightened up, “Of course! Thank you Shika for even thinking about it.” Haru pulled on Shikamaru's vest and kissed him on the lips. “Hn, okay women let's go were almost there.” Grabbing a hold of her hand the two bounded on their path to Suna.

 

Suddenly Shikamaru stopped in his tracks and made a motion for Haru to do the same. Both shinobi were listening intently to their surroundings, but it was too late. Shikamaru found himself tied to a tree and couldn't move. *Shit this is a genjitsu* “Shika..Shika where are you?” He could hear Haru shouting. “Haru! Haru were in a genjitsu.” Haru was frantically searching for the direction Shikamaru's voice was coming from, but it sounded like he was all around her. Closing her eyes she began to clear her mind. *Breath just breath* Slowly opening her eyes Haru was staring right at Itachi. “Itachi.” She barley whispered. “Come with me.” He stated dryly. “No.” Haru shook her head and started to back away. “Come with me or he dies.” Appearing almost out of thin air, Haru saw Shikamaru tied up. “What are.. let him go.” “I will when you come with me.” “NO! HARU DON'T!” Shikamaru shouted but was stabbed in the side. “Aaahhh, damn it!” Haru screamed his name and began to cry, “Please! Stop, I'll go I'll go with you just leave him alone!” Soon the genjitsu was released and Shikamaru lay on the ground bleeding from an obvious, real wound in his side. “Shika!” Haru tried to run to his side, but was knocked unconscious. “Haru, please leave her.” “Silence. If you want the girl back then deliver her sister to me. You have two days to get to the old location of their village.” Shikamaru's eyes widened, “what do you want with Phoenix?” Itachi turned to leave with Haru over his shoulder, “I wouldn't worry about that, especially if you want to see this girl alive again.” And with a puff of smoke they were gone. “HARU!!” Shikamaru screamed.

 

~Suna Gates~

 

“Hey who's that?” The guardsmen asked. “It looks like a leaf shinobi.” The two men approached Shikamaru. “Hey man are you alright?” “He's injured. Alert the Kazekage.”

 

Kankuro groaned as the banging on his door got louder. Rolling out of the bed and throwing on a pair of sweat pants he opened the door to see Baki standing there. Quirking an eyebrow at his guest, Baki proceeded to inform him that Shikamaru had arrived injured and alone. “What do you mean alone Haru was suppose to be with him?” Baki sighed “she was taken, by Itachi.” Kankuro's eyes widened as he heard the small gasp come out behind him. He turned around to see Phoenix standing behind him sheet wrapped around her naked form and a hand over her mouth. Baki told Kankuro what room Shikamaru was in, shaking his head Kankuro closed the door and approached the now sobbing Phoenix. “We have to find her, Kankuro we have to find her.” Pulling her to him Kankuro soothingly rubbed his hands up and down her back, “shh babe, we'll get her back don't worry. Let's go see Shikamaru.” Wiping her face Phoenix took a deep breath and found her resolve. “Hia.”

 

~Shika's Recovery room~

 

Phoenix entered Shikamaru's room alone, upon his request. “Shika..are you ok?” Shikamaru looked up at Phoenix eyes red, “I'm sorry Nixey. I'm sorry I couldn't protect her.” Placing his head in his hands he began to sob. Climbing on the bed and hugging Shikamaru to her Phoenix tried to hold back the tears, “don't worry Shika we're getting her back I promise.” Lifting his head to face her Shikamaru told her what Itachi had said. Phoenix sat wide eyed. Turning her head to the side she stood from the bed, “then we will do as he says.” Shikamaru stammered out, “Phoenix, you can't expect him to just give her back like that, we need to come up with a plan or we'll just loose you both!” Phoenix turned to him, “Shika you're the strategist I'm the doer. I can't… no I won't sit by and let them have her. If it's me they want then it's me they'll get.”

 

 

~Akatsuki's hideout~

 

“Ouch! That hurt asshole!” Haru shouted out to Kisame who threw her to the floor her hands and feet bound. “Shut up, Itachi why are we letting her live?” Leaning down to her face he sneered, “can I just slice her up, just a little?” Haru turned her head to the side and squeezed her eyes shut. “Who's this, un?” Haru tuned to see the one that had caught Gaara two years ago. “She's kinda cute, un. What'cha doing with her Kisame?” Kisame tsked and pointed to Itachi, “not mine, his.” Haru looked at the three guys that now held her captive. “What do you plan on doing with me, let me go!” Wriggling and trying to get free Haru was hoisted into the air by Kisame, “Stop your bitching. We will do whatever we want with you. So shut it.” Throwing her back down to the floor Haru cried out as she hit the hard cement. After two hours of sitting, Haru decided to try and get her feet loose. She searched the floor for anything she could use to cut the ropes. *ah a knife* Scooting over to the knife on the floor she scooped it up in her tied hands and began to cut the rope holding her feet together. *Baka's they tied my hands in front of me* Once her feet were free she managed to cut the rope tying her hands by holding the knife with her feet. Once freed Haru stood up and looked around. *looks like the coast is clear* Heading to the door she reached for the knob when a voice rang through her head. “Where do you think your going off to?” Freezing in place Haru turned slowly around to see Itachi right behind her. *Where did he come from* Before she could escape Itachi had her pinned to the door. With her front pressed hard to the door, Itachi grabbed her head and turned her face to the side. Whispering in her ear “I will kill your sister right in front of you if you try that again. Now be a good little girl and stay put!” Pulling back on her hair Itachi dragged Haru into a spare room. Dragging her to the bed, Haru started to struggle. “No! What are you doing, stop!” Throwing her on the bed Itachi watched as she scooted over to the corner near the wall. Letting a small smirk plaster his face Itachi climbed on the bed grabbing a hold of her leg he went to pull her to him when Haru screamed and shot a fire blast at his face. Itachi having his sharingan working easily dodged it and smacked Haru across the face slamming her head into the wall thus making her pass out. “Bitch.” Standing and walking out the room he locked the room from the outside.

 

 

~Back at Suna~

 

“So he took her to get to you?” Ryu stated more than asked. Phoenix, Shikamaru, Ryu, Temari, Gaara, Kankuro, Baki and Kira sat at the table in the conference room. Phoenix let out a sigh, “There's nothing more we can do except give in to his demands.” “Like hell!” Kankuro slammed his hands down, “we'll find a way to get her back without giving you up.” Phoenix smiled slightly at his declaration, but knew there was no other way to guarantee her sister's safety. “Alright.” Gaara proceeded. Everyone looked to the Kazekage. “Phoenix and Shikamaru you are to leave and meet at the designated spot. Upon arrival you will approach alone. Kankuro, Temari, Ryu and myself will watch your backs.” Everyone sat quietly as Gaara continued with his plan. “Baki and Kira will stay behind and guard the village.” “But Gaara, are you sure it's safe to leave the village. Shouldn't you stay here?” Phoenix asked. Gaara looked his sister in the eye, “they already got what they needed from me I do not see them attacking the village again, either way we will be on high alert from here on out.” “Hai.” Everyone agreed.

 

Phoenix prepared herself to head out her and Shikamaru will head out before everyone else to give them the appearance that they are alone. Coming up behind her Kankuro wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck. “Phoenix, please be careful and know that Haru is going to be alright. Promise me you will use him if you get into trouble.” Turning in his embrace Phoenix stood on her toes and pulled his face in for a smoldering kiss. Melting from the kiss Phoenix pulled away running her hands down his chest, she pulled back and disappeared out the door. Kankuro let the sigh go he was holding *keep her safe Katouritsu* Kankuro saw how over the course of the year that Katouritsu would hold back his attacks against her when they sparred. He knew that deep down the demon cared for her and would protect her from harm and keep her safe.

 

“Hey you, ready?” The blonde konuchi asked the shadow user. “Ready as I'll ever be.” Shikamaru glanced at his friends appearance raising his eyebrows he asked her with a little amusement in his voice, “Kankuro let you leave like that?” Phoenix looked at her attire and smiled, “Of course he bought it.” Shikamaru lightly laughed shaking his head. *he has good taste. I need to get one for Haru*

 

 

This is the outfit Phoenix is wearing, but her hair is up in poisoned needles.

 

 

~Back at the Akatsuki~

 

Haru glanced around at her surroundings and was drawn to a dark corner of the room. *I could've sworn I saw something move* Sure enough a body emerged from out of the shadows. Itachi moved out of the shadows and came to the edge of the bed. Haru looking up at him with frightened eyes, she did good by not looking him in the eyes for fear of being put into an illusion. Itachi reached out and forcefully grabbed her chin and turned her head towards him. Leaning down and kissing her roughly. Haru began to struggle and tried desperately to push him away. Finally Itachi released her and pulled her to her feet, “I hope your sister is more lively than you.” Haru glared at him with hate filled eyes, “she will kill you I can promise you that. You made a big mistake taking me and you will pay for it with your life!” Haru yelled the last part. Itachi backhanded her across the face, a small cut appeared, bleeding, opposite the dark purple bruise on the other cheek. Haru hissed as he began to drag her out the door.

 

~the meeting point~

 

“Where is he?” Phoenix asked quietly. Shikamaru who was a feet away from her pointed down toward the waterfall. Coming out of the shadows was Itachi with Haru bound and gagged next to him. Phoenix saw the bruises and cut on her face and her blood shot to boiling. Jumping out at Itachi she screamed, “Itachi you're a dead man!”
