Kara’s P.O.V:

Have you ever felt irritated beyond reason when you are interrupted in the middle of something really important?!

That’s how I felt when my God-forsaken phone started to ring just when my lips had re-attached themselves to Neji’s. I pulled away, sighing, earning a quiet groan from my companion.

*to think I might have some time for us at six in the morning…*

I picked up the phone from the bed-side table and sat on the bed, tapping the ‘attend’ tab on the touch-screen and pressed the phone to my ear, ready to take my annoyance out on the person… seeing as the caller ID was showing me my home number. But the words that came through the phone in the form of my father’s voice made the blood drain from my face.

“What?!” I almost screeched into the speaker, causing Neji to throw me a cautious look as he tied the head-band on his forehead.

“Okay Father, I will be right there.” I informed him and disconnected the call.

“What is that all about?!” Neji asked me and I could detect curiosity in his voice.

“It’s Anxa... she is missing. They have not heard from her since last night.” I could barely control my shaking voice as my mind invented the worst outcomes of this situation. Even my hands were trembling as I hurriedly pulled on my boots.

*How could this happen?! I did not understand… I mean she was with Gaara just last night! And he would not leave her alone outside! What about father?! How could he be so careless?! How could he--*

“Kara, relax.” Neji ordered me in a voice that demanded immediate attention causing my frantic thoughts to cease.

I watched him come up to me, fully dressed and gripping my shoulders in a very reassuring manner, he said,

“Just have a little faith in her. She’s YOUR sister.” He smirked causing me to feel a little better.

But the relief vanished as did my smile as another horrifying thought made its way into my mind.

“But Neji, what if she is kidnapped? Hurt? And as far as I know… She might as well be dead by now!” My voice became more hysterical with each word.

The sudden headache and my pounding heart was not a good combination seeing that I would be going on a mission sooner rather than later… a VERY different mission then the one I had planned to lead.

Neji just sighed and pulled me into a hug.

“She is going to be okay.” His persuasive powers were at a disadvantage when he tried to console someone and they were definitely not having an effect on me.  I mumbled something into his shoulder and pushed him away, ready to leave.

“Be careful. Are you sure you don’t want me to accompany you?” He asked for the millionth time since we exited his room.

“Yes. You just got back from an A-ranked mission. Just relax. I’ll see you when I get back.” I offered him a small smile.

After a quick kiss, I was off. I had to meet father at the gates of the village. But first I made a detour to my home, grabbing anything I thought was essential for this particular mission and then I ran towards the gates at blinding speed.

“Any word?” I asked the moment I spotted Father standing a little way away from the gate.

“Yes. Akatsuki might be behind this.”  I froze at his answer.

“W-wh---what?!”

“You heard me. They have been tracking Naruto for a while now. Why not try their hands on Anxa?” It felt as if someone had shoved an ice shard down my throat. I could not speak. If the Akatsuki were behind this, then Anxa might really be dead by now. My heart constricted just at the thought of her leaving us alone.

My haunting thoughts came to an end as I spotted Yamato coming towards us. So this was going to be a three-man squad. Huh?

What was Lady Tsunade thinking?! Infiltration of the Akatsuki with JUST three ninjas?!  How the hell could we ever succeed?

I thought of voicing my thoughts when we began our journey towards the suspected direction of the Akatsuki hide-out but decided against it when I noticed my father.

Now getting a good look at him as we sifted through the trees, jumping from branch to branch at top speed, He did not look too good. His visible eye was the window to his thoughts and feelings which I guess only I could understand. Anxa thought he was as difficult to read thoughts of, as well… Uchiha, Itachi.  And right now all I could read from that eye was worry for my sister’s well being and nothing else. I knew how much he loved her. And I could guess why. Out of the pair of us, my sister was the one who inherited our mother’s looks. And Dad loved her, very much.

He might just think that I am an emotionless brat when it came to my ‘old man’ but he did not know any better. I know he preferred my little sister over me, the reason being unknown to me. But I did not have time for that. All I knew that I had to make it right. I would NOT let anything happen to them. I did not damn care what happened to me. I was almost an expendable.

So, turning my masked face away from him, I made a silent pledge to myself:

To get Anxa back to Father, safe and sound, no matter what it took.

No matter what.
