~Persuasion~

 

 

“TEMARI!” Phoenix screamed as she watched her best friend being crushed by the demon's massive hand. Spitting blood from her mouth she managed a scream, “Phoenix! He-help me!” Phoenix charged her body, her chakra turning a bright red. Slamming a sutra paper to the ground she brought her hand up, drawing a bow from the paper. Concentrating her chakra she formed an arrow, pulling the string on the bow taught she fired it, hitting the demon in the chest. Releasing his hold on the now unconscious Temari, he screamed as his body began to dissipate. Falling to her knees, Phoenix let her exhaustion take over and she landed in the dirt haphazardly. Soon the dust cleared and walking through it was Orochimaru. Smirking at the sight before him, he motioned for the sound ninja with him to carry the two konuchi back to the hideout, leaving behind their weapons, for any one that would want them.

 

Racing through the trees were two teams, coming together to meet in the middle. Halting at the meeting point, Shikamaru stood waiting for the others to arrive.

 

~~Flashback~~

 

“Shikamaru.” Shikamaru stood in the Hoakge's office his face showed one of pure terror. “What do you mean she's gone? Where the hell did she go?!” Tsunade stood from her desk only to slam her hands down upon it, startling the other two occupants in the room. Shikamaru stood, unfazed by her outburst. Staring the Hokage in the eyes he asked again, “What happened?” Sighing the Hokage explained the situation that was relayed to her from the team she sent out to investigate. “I told you what happened. The problem is Temari and Phoenix went after her, they have yet to be found, or heard from.” Shikamaru walked up to the desk, he's not one to `make' confrontation, but here he had no choice, the life of his girl was on the line and he be damned if he did nothing about it! “Let me go. I'll go alone if I have too, but I need to find her!” Tsunade sat back down in her chair, “fine. Here is a list of those available for you to use. Make sure to take extra radios.” Shikamaru looked up from the file he was reading, “why?” Tsunade gave a look that said, `duh' “Suna has already received word, and are on their way to the meeting point.” Shikamaru grinned. He felt better knowing that he was getting help from them too. I'm sure it's Kankuro, Ryu and Kira. “Thank you. I'll leave as soon as possible.” Tsunade shook her head, but smiled a small smile. Takes one sure fire thing to get him motivated, and when she does, look out.

 

~~End Flashback~~

 

Light flooded Haru's room as Kabuto entered, “Haru Orochimaru wishes to see you.” Standing she followed Kabuto out of the room and down the hall. Kabuto would glance back in her direction every now and then and smirk. Haru caught him the last time, “What? Why do you keep looking back at me?” Kabuto shrugged his shoulders, “no reason.” Haru rolled her eyes. Reaching the door they were to enter through, Kabuto turned around and smiled. Taking a step back she hissed, “What? Damn it faggit, why do you keep smiling at me?” Kabuto smiles as he pushes his glasses up his nose, “you'll see. Please?” Stepping back so she could enter the room, Haru walked through the door while glancing at her surroundings. “What is this place?” she asked. Kabuto stood next to her and placing a hand on her back, he was struck to the ground. Wiping the blood from his lip, he stood while brushing off his pants, “you miss interpreted my intentions.” Standing he waved his hand out in a gesturing manner for her to proceed forward. Putting her hands to her sides she walked ahead noticing where he wanted her to go. Walking up to a glass window, about the size on her king sized bed, she all but jumped threw it. Kabuto held her hands to her sides and growled in her ear, “Orochimaru just wants to make sure you stay loyal.” Grinding her teeth she glanced down into the chamber below. There bound and gagged to the cement walls were Temari and Phoenix. “Are…are they..” “No. they are much alive.” Pushing him off her she turned to him, “What makes him think that I will let him do this to them?” Leaning against the wall he crossed his arms and closed his eyes, “because if you don't….they will be tortured to the point that they beg for their death.” Haru's eyes widened, “but their strong, they…” “Won't let us? Ha do you actually think that those two, can actually take out Orochimaru one of the legendary sannin!” Haru turned back around to glance down at her family, tears streaming down her face, “how will I know that they will be sparred and not left to die?” Walking so that he could look down into the chamber he smirked, “you won't.”

 

“Their here.” Shikamaru glanced up to see three figures land on the branches in front of him, smiling he greeted his brothers, or so that's how he saw them. “Oy, you have anything new to tell us?” Kankuro asked. Shikamaru shook his head, “no, we have nothing new. The team that was sent out after Temari and Phoenix returned, saying they lost their tracks.” Kiba made his presence known, “that's cuz they didn't send me.” The puppet master smirked, “I guess that's why you here now, eh?” Kiba smirked and Akamaru barked, “Hell yeah.” It was Ryu's turn to speak, “Well then let's go shall we?” “Hai.” The now six man team dispersed with Kiba and Akamaru in the lead.

 

Haru walked into his chambers, trying to hide the fact that she was scared out of her mind. Sweating bullets she tried her best to steel her resolve. “Sit.” Came his cold command. Obeying she sat on the stool provided. Walking out of the shadows he came to sit in front of her. “Haru, I have been thinking that you will not only be my slave, but you will be bed warmer.” “Bed warmer?” oh hell no! “Yes. You will be at my side every moment.” Closing her eyes she thought about her sisters. “You wouldn't want any harm to come to them would you?” shooting her eyes open, “NO! i..i'll do what ever you wish of me.” She bowed her head and hid her disgust look with her hair. “Good. Now eat.”

 

Where the hell? Opening her eyes Temari took in her surroundings, managing to work the binding out of her mouth she called out to her friend. “Phoenix…Phoenix are you awake?” groaning was her answer. Soon the door to the chamber had opened. Temari's eyes widened as she watched the room fill with four men, four men who looked like they haven't seen water in days. Oh Kami what's that smell? Phoenix's nose scrunched as she opened her eyes, immediately spitting out the cloth, “Wha…who the hell are you and where are we?” Struggling against the chains she tried to pull free. The men then proceeded to walk forward, “we're here to make sure your stay is comfortable.” Phoenix looked over to Temari who in turn returned her glance with one of fear. Shit “Temari we'll be ok, we'll get out of this, I promise.” “Such strong words from someone who is tied to a wall.” “Fuck you!” she hissed out. “I plan to.” Phoenix's eyes widened at what he meant. “But first lets do a little foreplay.” Walking up to her he pulled a vile from his pocket. “What the hell is that?” she hissed. “this will help….make you more easier to handle.” Smirking his comrades began to chuckle darkly. Gripping her chin he pushed her head back and up. “Now open up for me sweetheart. It will be so much more fun when you're willing instead of fighting.” Squeezing her eyes and lips shut as tight as she could make them she listened as Temari screamed her name and for them to stop it. Her eyes shot open when she heard a resounding smack. Looking over she saw two men trying desperately to remove Temari of her clothes, her bottom lip bleeding most likely from being hit. Opening her mouth to shout out at them, the ass holding her chin dumped the greenish liquid down her throat. Coughing and trying to spit it out, she growled as the liquid slid down her throat leaving a tingling sensation behind. “Phoenix, what's wrong? What did you do to her?” Temari watched as her friends body slumped against her bindings and the only thing holding her up was the shackles attacked to her wrists. “Now, she will be more enjoyable.” One man behind him grunted out, “I don't know I think I like it when they struggle and scream.” Soon the room was filled with laughter. Temari could do nothing more than sit and watch as the men began to tug at her sister's clothes. “What the hell are you doing?” Temari's head flew to face the voice that now made his presence known.

 

Haru wiped her mouth on her napkin and proceeded to take a sip of her drink when she had this odd feeling that something wasn't right. She glanced in the direction of where Orochimaru had gone. Why am I feeling like something bad is going on?

 

Sniffing the ground, Akamaru barked and Kiba tsked. “Damn it.” He hissed. “What? What is it?” Shikamaru asked. “It's Temari's blood.” Pointing to the pool that lay before them, “and Phoenix's is over that way.” Pointing to the overturn rubble, looking over in the direction heading back to the village he sighed, “something, big was here. And they faught. I picked up the scent of others that lead in that direction. I'm sure they took the girls with them.” Wasting no time the guys were off following Kiba's nose. Hang in there, guys were coming for you.

 

Standing from the table Haru made her way into the hall way and headed towards the room that she memorized as the one that held the glass window. Running through the door she made it to the glass just in time to see her sister slump to the floor and hear Temari scream. Yelling her self and banging on the glass, which went unheard to the occupants below she watched helplessly as the men began to tug at her sister's clothes. Then she heard his voice, “What the hell are you doing?” Sauske.
