Saving Us (NejiTen Fanfic)

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE - PART ONE

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE - PART ONE (SASORI's PoV)

It was well past 5 minutes. The fucking kid under my charge still has not returned. Irritated, I stood up from my seat and started to walk towards the direction of the restrooms.

With a yawn, I pushed open the door and was met with emptiness.

"Hyūga ?" I called out as I entered the restroom.

No one answered. With a frown forming in my forehead, I started pushing the door of each cubicle open. But there was no one.

Wide-eyes with realization that the kid I was supposed to be watching was missing, I bolted out of the restroom. I looked left and right at he hallway to see if there was any sign of where he went.

"Sasori-sensei!" a couple of voices cried.

I turned in the direction of the call and saw a few of Hyuga's friends. They were running towards me all out of breathe like someone was chasing them.

"It's Neji! Someone took him!"

"Where?" I asked and they pointed to the direction of the parking lot.

I was quick on my feet and was halfway across the hallway before they realized that I had already took off. I heard them followed after me but I did not looked back.

Once I was outside the building, my eyes hastily scanned the near-full parking lot. And I quickly saw where the person I was looking for.

Hyūga was being carried unconscious by two, huge men. I hurriedly pulled my gun out of its hidden holder behind me and pointed it to the direction of the kidnappers.

"Hey!" I called loud enough for them to hear me.

I squinted my eyes as I pointed to the man getting into the driver's seat but a damn minivan suddenly cut across us as if its driver was drunk. I clicked my tongue as I lowered my gun and ran towards Hyūga . But when I crossed the street, the van the kidnappers pushed him in was already hightailing it out of the parking lot.

"Shit. Tenten will kill me," I muttered to myself as I memorized its license plate.

And as if on command, my phone rang. I hid my gun back and took my phone out of my pocket. Thankfully, it was Hidan who was calling.

I answered it as I saw Hyūga 's friends stopped beside me with confused looks on their faces.

"Hello? What do you want, Hidan?"

"Woah, someone's grumpy," came Hidan's playful response. 

"I'm busy make it quick," I barked.

Hidan sighed. "You know we confiscated Tenten's phone, right? So now she's bugging me to call you to ask you how that damn kid is,"

I rolled my eyes at the anger in Hidan's voice. Despite that he was always getting on Tenten's nerves, he cares genuinely about her like all of us. But he felt more anger than us about Hyūga being the cause of Tenten's. . . Carelessness. 

I glanced at Hyūga's friends who were already all there aside from the ones in the competition. I signaled for them to wait as they all looked physically unable to stay in place with worry and fear. 

"Don't tell Tenten but Hyūga's been abducted," I answered. Already imagining the havoc that Tenten will wreak once she finds out. 

"What? He's gone? Have you informed Itachi?" Hidan asked. 

"Not yet. You called as instantly it was like good timing though, nothing good had happened," 

Hidan sighed. "Sure, I'll keep quiet," he replied as I heard him opening the door--probably to Tenten's hospital room since he was the one assigned to keep her company at the moment. "Uhmm, Sasori, we got a problem,"

"What now?"

"Tenten's gone. I think she heard us," 

"Fucking hell," the profanities left my lips one after the other.
