Byakugan Princess: The Cursed Jewel [Book 1]

Part 29

"You killed her" Hinata murmured while recovering herself.

"Hinata, calm down" Gaara said in her ear while holding her. The Uchihas had ended the execution and went to the celebration of the new King.

"I believe we have something to talk about, Sabaku no Gaara" Sasuke said while smirking and walking to them. "Follow me"

Hinata and Gaara followed the young Uchiha to another room where they could talk alone.

"I'll go straight to the point. I want the pearl back" he said while breaking the silence.

"You captured my brother, that's considered as a threat to Suna" Gaara said calmly.

"You helped my prisoners escape" he replied.

"Actually" Hinata said. "We were prisoners under your father's reign, not yours"

"I inherited my father's reign" he smirked. "You're still under my command"

"You killed my sister" she said angry. "That's a crime to my clan!"

"She was just a weakling who couldn't keep up with her punishment! That wont be considered as a threat to your clan 'cause is already destroyed" he snapped. "Now, to mantain peace I demand you to give me the pearl"

"And how do we know you're not gonna declare war on all the lands?" Gaara asked.

"It's not your business to know what I'll do with it"

"What you've done to us can't be forgiven" Hinata added determined. "I'll soon be part of Sunagakure and I grant you you're gonna need more than just a cursed pearl to deal with me"

"You got a fiesty one Gaara" he smirked. "Let me guess, you're gonna attack my kingdoom now, from inside out, freeing the sand prince and many others while we have this pathethic act right?"

Gaara and Hinata eyes widened.

"Don't underestimate me, Hyuga." he said while some men entered the room and captured the young couple.

"What the-?!" Gaara said while trying to unleash his sand to defend himself but he couldn't. "How?"

"I drained your chakra since the moment you entered the castle" The Uchiha explained. "Your plan failed"

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Temari!!" yelled Shikamaru.

"On it!" she said while performing one of her wind style jutsu. They had a hard time fighting the Uchiha guards.

"Shannarooo!!!" yelled Sakura while she knocked down four men at once. "Kiba! You sense him?"

"Hai! We'll get Kankuro, you go for Naruto" he said. "Let's go! Shino! Akamaru!"

"Sakura, Sai, Neji! Go get him while we buy you some time here" Tenten snapped.

"But Tenten..!" Sakura protested. "What about-"

"Leave now!!"

Sakura nodded while she left with Sai and Neji. They ran through some hallways for a while without success.

"Dammit! I can't find him anywhere" Neji cursed.

"It's impossible" Sakura said. "I just felt his chakra a while ago"

"Maybe he's badly injured" Sai added.

Meanwhile, Shino and Kiba foubded Kankuro.

"There! Kankuro!!" said Kiba.

"Finally!!" he said in pain. Kiba and Akamaru broke the door.

"What the hell just happened to you?" asked Shino.

"Long story" he replied. "The Uchihas knew you were coming."

"What?" Shino said surprised.

"Okay, just hang in there" Said Kiba while puttin him on Akamaru. "Let's just get out of here"

On the other hand, Tenten, Temari and Shikamaru were still fighting some guards.

"They're too many!" cursed a tired Tenten. "How much time do they need?"

"Tenten look out!" yelled Shikamaru while trying to stop an Uchiha from stabbing Tenten's stomach.

"Aaah!!" Tenten yelled in pain as she tried to dodge the sword.

"Tenten!!" yelled Temari in horror.

Dammit! When we'll end this fight? If she looses her baby, I'll never forgive myself!

The Uchiha lifted his sword, ready to give it's final attack.

"Rotation!!" said a voice Tenten could recognize even though she closed her eyes. Suddenly, she felt a lot of chakra waves around her as the guard was thrown away.

She opened her eyes, "Neji?!"

"Are you alright?" he said while turning around to her and seeing the blood coming out of her stomach.

"Tenten! Oh my Kami!!" Sakura said while starting to heal her.

"Stop it! We have to leave before more guards come" she said while stuggling to get up. "Let's move-" she said before fainting.

"Tenten!!" Everyone said while Neji was the first to hold her.

"I'll carry her, let's go now!" he said.

"What about Naruto?" asked Kiba.

"He isn't here" Sai said. "We searched everywhere"

"That's impossible" Kankuro managed to said. "That means he escaped."

"Whatever happened to him we need to keep moving if we want to live" Shikamaru said. "Let's go!"

-----------------------------------------------------------

"I'll say it one last time, Byakugan princess" Sasuke said while pointing his sword at the Sabaku no. "Hand me the pearl"

"Don't, Hinata-" Gaara managed to say.

"Don't hurt him!" she say while struggling to run to him. Two guards were holding her.

"Hn. Annoying" he cutted Gaara's cheek with his sword, making the Hyuga gasp in fear. "I can't hear your answer"

"Sasuke!!" said a male voice. "Let them go!!"

The Uchiha turned around to see his blonde lover standing behind him, covered in blood.

"I assume you had a hard time getting here" he said.

"Teme! Let them go" he said. "You don't have to do this dattebayo! This is your chance to change your clan's destiny!"

"How can you talk about destiny when you betrayed me!!" yelled Sasuke. "You're in no place to talk!!"

"So this means that you're a saint?!?! Snap out of it -ttebayo!! You killed Karin!! You killed my family!!" he yelled while jumping onto Sasuke and starting to fight. The guards suddenly free their prisoners to help the Uchiha.

"Get him!! You will pay for this Naruto!" Sasuke said while fighting back.

"Gaara, Hinata go!!" Naruto yelled. "Make the lands assemble and aniquilate the pearl along with this entire clan dattebayo!!!"

Without thinking twice, Gaara grabbed Hinata's hand ready to ran away from the castle.

"But, Naruto-kun!!" Hinata protested.

"Just go!!!" he yelled

"Arigato, Naruto." Gaara murmured. "Hinata!!"

Hinata nodded sadly and left the place with him.
