Sakura talked blithely with their abductors as she and Ino took their time headed downstairs, it was obvious the men taking them were getting impatient but though Ino was quiet Sakura was selling the nonchalance for both of them. Ino wasn't sure what would happen when they reached the bottom of the stairs but she was silently praying that Choji would be there in time. Sakura prattled away in a vaguely flirtatious way but inside she was scheming to the best of her ability. They were just descending to the fifth floor when the bulky blonde she was talking to stumbled on a step, sticking out her foot she caught him as he tried to steady himself and he fell headlong down the stairs around the corner and down another flight. They ran down the stairs to help him, Sakura's panicked performance had Ino forgetting that this man was the enemy, the two girls stood off to the side as their one remaining kidnapper looked over his friend. Sakura clasped Ino's hand pulling her back, watching as the man stood and ran a hand through his hair Sakura prepared for something even more risky than before, holding out her hands Sakura threw all her weight at him and sent him flying. "Let's go" Sakura grabbed Ino's arm and headed for the door to the stairway. There was an angry yell behind them but Sakura dragged her friend to the lift slamming her thumb n the button, it was already headed down to them and the doors opened in just a few seconds. Inside the lift a startled Ten-Ten was pushed to one side as Ino got the lift doors closed and the three women fell against the walls waiting for something, anything to happen, as it happened the elevator moved down with no further interruptions and they all breathed a sigh of relief. "We just gotta hope when we get to the bottom there's a good crowd of people around." Sakura muttered "I wasn't planning on doing that but it seemed like too good of an opportunity to miss." "What did you do?" Ten-Ten asked still bemused by the other two girls appearance. "She just threw those guys down the stairs." Ino chuckled and rubbed hand over her stomach "I've got to stay calm, and there will definitely be someone at the bottom, this thing opens up into the reception, we have two receptionists and three security guards at any given time." "Seriously we need to switch lives one day." Ten-Ten grinned as she spoke making sure Ino knew she wasn't holding it against her. "Yeah well at least you can have cocktails right now." Ino sighed leaning her head against the wall "God I want a margarita." The lift doors opened and they peered out tentatively only for Ino to cry out and run forwards. "Choji!" "Ino" taking his wife into his arms Choji let out a deep sigh of relief. "Thank God" "Naruto" Sakura stalked forwards "There were two men, one was unconscious on the stairs when we last saw him, the other sounded badly hurt." "You heard her" Naruto nodded to the stairwell and a couple of his henchmen ran off to find the men. "Are you OK?" Sasuke's dark eyes bore into Sakura's and to her annoyance she felt her face flush, she decided her best bet was to ignore him "Naruto is Hinata alone today?" "There's the usual guard at the gate… why?" "Look none of this all makes any sense unless the reason why the women in your lives are being targeted, I think Hinata was told about the affair in the hopes that she'd leave you and be defenceless, they came after Ino, and I think you ought to call your mother as well." Naruto didn't need telling twice, pulling his phone from his pocket he turned tail and began to run. Sasuke was torn for just a moment as he saw Naruto go, Sakura had chosen their side and as a result could be in danger, he looked to Choji "Get these three somewhere safe, don't let them be on their own till we know it's over." "Excuse me?" Sakura looked annoyed at this statement "I'm perfectly able to look after myself." Sasuke smirked at her naivety "You got lucky that's all, next time they may not want to take people alive, it hard to defend yourself against bullets." "He's right" Ino backed the Uchiha up making Sakura feel annoyed as well as a little foolish, she'd assumed Sasuke was just ordering her around because he wanted to "Sakura, Ten-Ten, you guys should stay with me… I'm not sure where we're going." "Safe house" Choji spoke decidedly "Safe house 3, tell Naruto that's where to bring Hinata and anyone else." "Will do" Sasuke turned and ran to follow Naruto, Sakura watched him go with worry in her eyes, she hadn't ever really thought of someone shooting indiscriminately. "Do you think Hinata's alright?" Sakura asked nervously "They wouldn't… they wouldn't just hurt her would they?" No one responded and Sakura's heart sank, she and Ten-Ten gripped hands nervously
They were in the house, despite the music playing Hinata could hear them moving around, the solid metal in her hand was reassuring enough but her heart was pounding. She felt so terrified and was relieved to know that the panic room was soundproofed so Hanabi would never know what she was going to do here. They were getting closer and she felt jumpy it was when her phone began buzzing on the table and she jumped up to aim the gun at it that she realised how panicked she was. Instead of shooting her phone she managed to open it and mutter a nervous greeting into it. "Hinata!" Naruto sounded rushed "Hinata you're in danger, there are people coming…" "They're already here" she whispered tears running down her face "Naruto they are in the house…" the door handle finally moved "Come quickly" Hanging up the phone Hinata held the gun up and as the first man entered the room she fired. They responded in kind and Hinata dropped down behind the desk breathing heavily as bullets hit the wall beside her. She stayed in place trying to stay silent and trying not to even breathe heavily. Then the door swung open and she heard someone shuffling slowly into the room. Gritting her teeth Hinata knew she had to keep fighting, clutching the gun again she jumped up and began firing, to her surprise the man she was aiming at went down immediately but there was still someone by the door. He fired at her and she shot back hitting him as well. She was stunned by the success of her shots. She could hear shouting elsewhere in the house and knew they would be coming after her soon. There was one bullet left it had taken three on the first man and two on the second, she had to make it count, then she realised that her aim was not likely to hold true. Moving forward from her safe place she reached for the fallen mans gun just as another showed up at the door.
Distastefully sipping coffee in the hospital canteen Kushina wished Tsunade hadn't switched shifts today, they had been supposed to go to her favourite lunch place and instead she was going to be treated to hospital food. "Sorry about this" Tsunade sat down opposite her with a tray of food "No no, this is exactly how I intended to spend my lunch" Kushina looked around with a smile "Under unforgiving lighting and with coffee that tastes like sewage." "Oh shush" Tsunade glared at the redhead "Like you have to worry about harsh lighting" it was true the woman opposite her may be looking a little older but she was nowhere near old and definitely not in line for any of the surgery that Tsunade used so regularly. "Well you have to agree that the coffee sucks" Kushina took the compliment from the older woman but with a pinch of salt, she knew she wasn't getting any younger and though she was a lot younger than Minato she still worried about him finding someone new and leaving her. "That it does, I keep meaning to get a proper coffee machine in my office." "Well when you have that in I'll eat here by choice" opening up her salad Kushina picked at it with her fork moving the food around "Of course there isn't as much eye candy here as there is at the bistro." "Oh yeah, the head waiter" "There's a reason I eat there with you and not Minato." "Looks like it's a good thing we're not there" Tsunade nodded to the cafeteria doors where the man in question had just walked in. "Minato?" Kushina was shocked at her husband's grim expression "What's wrong?" "We have to leave, now." "I have to work" Tsunade argued "They'll have to manage without you" he told her harshly "Look Ino was almost kidnapped, Hinata's being attacked" "What about Hiashi and Hanabi?" "I know nothing about them, I came straight here" "Well lets go" Tsunade stood to leave "I must go to Hinata" "No you're going to the safe house" "Look boy…" Tsunade was about to lecture Minato but he stopped her with a menacing look. "No you look! My son is going to protect the woman he loves, Jiraiya and others are with him but I came to protect the women we love, now you will come with me to the safe house and then I shall go to aid my son." For once Tsunade didn't argue, the look in Minato's eyes and the way he clasped his wife's hand was enough to tell her that what was going on was more serious than anything they'd ever known before.
Naruto entered the house and could immediately smell the evidence that there had been gunfire. "HINATA!" Not caring for his own safety Naruto called out for his wife. "Hanabi, Hinata?" "Naruto?" The call came from upstairs and Naruto raced up towards it leaving the others to secure the house "Hinata?" There was a dead body at the door to his office so he edged forwards his gun held ready. The door was open and he could see a pair of legs still on the floor, inching forwards he entered the office to find another three bodies and a pale terrified young woman aiming a gun at him. "Naruto?" Hinata still held the gun aloft as though ready to shoot. Naruto looked around him at the three bodies on the floor and felt a strong sense of pride in his wife. "Hinata" approaching her carefully Naruto held out his hands in a placating gesture "There's no one else to fight sweetheart, where are the kids?" "P-panic room" "Why aren't you in there?" he was within arm's reach of the gun but he kept moving slowly "Hinata, why aren't you in the panic room with the kids?" "I couldn't risk it. Just grabbed the gun and waited." Naruto took the weapon from her hands and the pulled her up against him "Is it over?" "Yeah" he held her enjoying the fact that she was letting him keep her close "I've got you now, we'll get to Hanabi and our son and move you somewhere else." "Don't leave me" she clutched at his clothing her voice small and afraid. He was reminded of a time over a year ago when he had taken her through a trashed flat and then out to safety, leaning down he lifted her up into his arms, as he carried her from the room he met with Sasuke and Yahiko, handing them the gun he indicated back into the room silently asking them to deal with what had occurred inside. Hinata clung to Naruto remembering the first time this had happened, she remembered all the times he'd put himself between her and danger, this Naruto was real, the Naruto that was willing to take a bullet for her, the Naruto that protected her when she was scared. No matter what other facets of his personality were fake this one, the protector was real and she needed him to remain real.
