~Chapter 6: The Extraction, plus some.~
Sand crept under the door. Temari quickly threw Hinata over her shoulder and waited patiently by the door. Man, elevator music would work nicely here… She heard muffled screams of pain. Gaara and Kankuro are coming. This may be tough if there are more than 50. Temari thought as the door was forcefully thrown open.
Kankuro took Hinata from Temari easily and they began to walk into the hall.
“Temari, you ok?” Kankuro asked concerned.
“Yup, I assume you didn’t have too much trouble?”
“Of course not.”
Temari laughed. “Hopefully I’ll get some action too.”
If those two aren’t bickering, they’re joking around. Argh, troublesome.
“If we hurry, we can get out of this village and find an allied one. Then Hyuuga Hinata can regain her chakra…It’s dangerously low.” Gaara broke into their enjoyment of the particularly dangerous situation.
“Yea, yea, I know.” Kankuro sulked.
“When we get out of here, Temari, you’ll write a report to the Hokage and to the Kazekage about our status. Kankuro, you and I will stand guard over Hyuuga until Temari gets back, then, we will go to our room, which will be in the same inn. I’ll assume you have the medicine?” Gaara looked over to Temari. Geez, all business, all the time, Temari thought.
“Yup, sure do. I’ll give it to her now if you’ll stop.” Gaara nodded and both of them stopped.
“I’ll stand guard at the end of the hall; Kankuro, you do the same at the other end.”
“Gotchya.” Kankuro smiled and walked to the end of the hall readying his strings.
Sand swirled around Gaara as Temari rummaged for the medicine vial. The vial was dark blue glass and about 3 inches tall, around 3 centimeters circumference. The contents swirled in its container. The medicine was for extreme chakra loss and would take around 3 hours to work; unfortunately, the medicine had a side effect: the user would be out for around another 5 hours. Temari took the vial and took out the cork. She infused slight chakra into the small vial to activate the medicine. The medicine began to swirl more rapidly and heated slightly.
Temari took Hinata’s chin and pulled it up slightly. She opened her mouth and began pouring in the very thick, warm liquid. As soon as she turned the vial up, running right into Gaara. It was a girl around their age.
Temari ignored it, and lifted the vial at a steeper angle, hoping the liquid would come out soon. The thing with this medicine was that it was…you could say…temperamental. If there wasn’t the exact amount of chakra needed, the liquid would continue to swirl and would not succumb to gravity. Plus, Temari wasn't the best medic nin.
Gaara’s sand wrapped her body leaving her head. She had deep brown eyes; it was hard to tell the difference of the iris and pupil. She also had dark brown hair. Gaara stared mercilessly.
“Give me one reason not to kill you.”
“I’m a prisoner too.” She smiled and returned the death glare. “Are you supposed to be intimidating? Or maybe even scary?” she studied him further. “You look like you could use a good night’s sleep…” She was about to say something else when Kankuro, who had come closer to his siblings, cut her off.
“So, who are you, how did you get here, and how and why did you get away?”
“Um… My name is…well…um…I can’t seem to remember that, but…well…I can’t really seem to remember anything… hmmm.” The girl looked genuinely confused. “I wanted to get away because this weird guy kept on using this strange jutsu than completely drains me. I finally was able to get where I could wake up after a week. They don’t come around for another 3 days. Strange, huh? Anyway, I just used on of my jutsus and…SMACK! ... I knocked him out cold.” She grinned.
“If you don’t remember anything how do you know about jutsus and remember your own?” Temari said not looking up from the temperamental medicine, which looked like it was beginning to fall slightly.
“Funny you should ask. Well you see… um… I really don’t know; I’m sorry.” She looked over to Gaara. “Can you please let me go?” Gaara was still shocked at how she chose to be so stubborn AND offensive at the same time.
“No. My sand will hold you till we get to Sunagakure. Then you will go to interrogation, they have certain… ways… of getting information out of you.”
“Yea, yea. Hey you, yea, the blonde, you had better hurry up and get done, ‘cause I hear quite a few guards coming our way.” Gaara growled and quickly set up two walls of sand in front of and behind them.
“Hurry it up Temari.” Gaara said coolly; if he wasn’t careful, he would lose control. Temari mumbled something like “Spoiled Brat” but with a few more… curse words.
“Gaara, you can take girly here, and I’ll take Hyuuga; Temari, you take to the front clearing out the guards with your fan. Hey, Girl, you had better keep quiet, Understand?” Kankuro can seem very deadly at times. With his cat like appearance. Sorry, my friends LOVE adding to my story.
“Yes sir!” She giggled. “Opps, sorry, it seems the meds they have been stuffing down my throat haven’t quite worn off.”
“Great. Now we have a psycho on our hands.” Kankuro whispered to Temari. The medicine had finally gave in and fell into Hinata’s mouth. Temari sat her up and waited just a few seconds so it wouldn’t come back out again. Just as Kankuro threw her over his shoulder, men on the other side of the sand began trying to break through Gaara’s near impenetrable sand wall.
“C’mon Temari, You’re up front.” Gaara growled.
She ran to the front as the sand eradicated the men in front of it. Temari swung her fan quickly to make sure no one made it, and they were off!
They ran through the halls, because now they were discovered.
“Laaaa-De-Dah-De-Daaaah!” The strangely obnoxious girl was singing, or trying to anyway. Before Gaara could silence her, she passed out cold.
“I guess she really was on meds.” Kankuro said as they turned a corner. They made it to a main hall, but quickly found that concurrence of all of these halls and rooms made for one heck of a “meeting” room. Gaara acted quickly gathering them once again in four walls of his sand.
“Dammit. I’ll try and dig our way out with my sand, and lift us out, but if there is solid rock above us we’ll have to fight our way out.
“Try it. I’ll take the girl.” Temari said walking over to the now limp girl, who was mumbling something, “Getttooffff, youuuu baassssttttt….”
“Ok, it sounds like she’s having a pleasant dream!” Kankuro joked. Gaara ignored them and continued to focus on controlling the sand.
“It looks like we’re in luck.” Gaara’s expression relaxed slightly. “There was only compacted dirt…” A strange smirk came over his face. “… Unfortunately for the people on the outside, dirt doesn’t hold well when there is a disturbance in its balance.”
“Good. Are we outside yet?” Kankuro asked, shifting Hinata on his shoulder. Don’t see how she could sleep through all of this, but look at that one. He thought, looking over to the brunette.
“Yes,” Gaara said as the sand dissolved from its structure and found its way back into his gourd.
“Would you like me to include the girl in the report?” Temari asked as she also shifted her “passenger.”
“Yea, the two girls will also be rooming with you. Ok?” Gaara instructed as he pulled out a map, placing a mark on which this village was.
“Fine.” She sulked. Gaara found the nearest village and began walking in that direction, knowing his siblings would follow.
