Love for Sale( A various Naruto x reader story.)

Chapter 109

You've never traveled alone, and it was frightening in the beginning. Despite it, you didn't think there was anything worse than what you had to go through. You've lived through worse things.

Some of the few things that you struggled with were hunger and thirst. However, a couple of days you came to stop by smaller villages. They were skeptical but didn't deny food and water.

And you had planned on moving forward, but you were just a simple woman. It didn't take for a few guards to catch up to you. The villagers were poor, weak even so when they arrived at the village they scatted back to their homes leaving you alone. You would say to fend for yourself, but there was no way you could do that.

You felt your heart beating against your chest, pumping blood and adrenaline through your veins. And you were afraid of being forced to go back. Shaking your head you stepped back, only making them laugh. "Come on," one of them said motioning for you to approach him. "Let's not make it any harder. Besides that stupid idiot had it coming."

Your eyes snapped around trying to find a weapon but all you had around were rocks. Rocks were useless, it would do enough damage to escape from them. "I'm not going back," you managed. "If you take me back, it'll be my corpse."

The guard lowered his hand and sighed. "Darling, I don't want to take you back either. I'll rather take you back with me but that would be too much trouble. You're too much trouble."

But instead, you turned around and sprinted because your life depended on it. A few parts of your body still hurt but you ran, you ran and ran into the trees. Some branches made small cuts on your arms, neck, and face as you ran. Tears threatened to spill from your eyes, but you cleaned them up to help you see your path clearer.

As expected, you were no match for them. They were quick to surround you, and no matter where you looked for an escape route there was none. You were breathing hard, and it was so hard to breathe but you didn't care. You snatched the only thing available which was a branch. It was a small piece of it, but it easier sharp.

You heard them laughing. "Do you think you're going to escape using that?"

Shaking your head, you shut your eyes took a deep breath, and stabbed your neck. Only for you to snap your eyes open when a hand grasped your wrist and stopped you. For a moment you struggled, pulling away but when you saw who it was, you relaxed.

It was the man who bought your services but after spilling out some nonsense, he left. His eyes traveled to your hand and then to your face. He squished you a bit harder your wrist, making you hiss and let go of the branch/stick.

He turned around without saying a word and stared down at the guards who knew exactly who he was. They were scared, that was clear. "I know who you are." The leader said, "But I also know the organization works with us." His gaze shifted to you, "I get it. She's pretty, but I promise she's not worth the trouble you're going to get into. Now hand her over."

The Akatsuki's member turned his head to send you a glance. "Shut your eyes."

But you didn't, if he was going to kill these men...You wanted to see it. You wanted to have the satisfaction of watching them die.

He didn't wait for you, he moved quickly. It didn't matter what ability these guards had, they were no match for someone who seemed to turn into nothing as their punches or attacks went through him. It seemed this man was in a hurry and didn't want to play around. He was quick and killed them without actually making them suffer as much as you would have preferred.

"More guards will be on their way, come." He offered his hand, but you only stared at it.

"He said you worked with them." Taking a step backward, you told him. But then again, he was here and if it wasn't for him those men would be drawing you back to that horrible place. Not to mention, he knew what happened..."You said I was able to travel back in time, how...How did you know that?"

With that mask, you couldn't tell what he was thinking by his expressions. "Do you remember traveling back in time?"

But you shook your head, "Only a couple of days ago. That's how I managed to escape. But, how is that possible?"

You heard him sigh. "Someone from the past died leaving with me important information. You're a Time Keeper, you're able to control time. That's why I waited for you but it seems you never traveled back...But I don't understand. If you didn't travel back in time, then how do I know who you are and what you did."

Puzzled you took a step forward. "Did? Oh, you mean..." Your gaze traveled to the ground in shame.

"You were supposed to escape long ago and attacked many brothels. That's why you managed to travel back to them. " Your response was to laugh.

"Attacked? Look at me," your laugh died down. "I'm nothing but a weak prostitute."

He wanted to say something, you knew by the way his chest lifted and then lowered. Almost as a sigh too. "The more I think about it, the more I believe someone must have messed it with your timeline. And I could understand why."

At least if it was the very same man he was thinking about. He had never met Inei in person, but could there be a possibility that he was a Time Keeper? But Time Keepers were so strict...But that was the only possible explanation.

Obito observed and noticed the way you rubbed your sides. He noticed the bruises still showing on your face. You had been beaten before you left that place. It wasn't his problem. In fact, right now you were more trouble than you were worth...

The more he looked at it, Inei was the person he should be looking for. He would be far more useful, he was already skilled enough to control time. That was what he needed. But Inei had his agenda and he would be more than capable of escaping and even going back and changing the past.

Something nagged him on the back of his head. He should have walked away but he felt something pulling him towards you. Soon he found himself placing his hand on your shoulder and taking you with him.

He would have to think, and decide what he would do from now on. What he needed to do now was to take you to a safe place. Said place was the place that the group of prostitutes were heading to. There was a probability that they would not end up going. Even if they did, the only way these guards found you was because you left tracks.

If you hid yourself well enough, the guards wouldn't be able to find you. There was no chakra signature on you.

But what made him worry was that if you had been important enough to have your fate change so drastically...If it was indeed Inei, he would just go back and change the past again.

And you'll never get to escape that brothel no matter how many times you manage to. He frowned. He'll have to hurry, he may have a few weeks if possible to prepare whatever he needs. But for now, you'll need a safe place to stay and that was where he was taking you.
