Their Worst Nightmare

#4 Arriving

Isla saw the entrance to the clan. It looked welcoming enough. It had the same symbol above it as the one Haruma and Katsuma had on their bandana things. Haruma approached one of the guards.
"This girl has information valuable to our clan and she has been sedated. We must get her somewhere secure immediately."
The guard looked at Haruma skeptically and then gave him a curt nod. He stepped aside to let them in. Katsuma gave out a sigh and Haruma relaxed until the was a gust of air and Haruma tensed up again. Isla did not want to look behind her. She saw that Katsuma had paled. She slowly turned around. She saw a tall man with a fluff lined neck and a wash of white hair. He had his back to the group. Isla wondered why an old man would frighten these two strong ninja so much.

The man spoke. "Is this the disturbance in our territory?" His voice was cold and Isla started to struggle. A sense of foreboding came over her. Haruma seemed to choke as he spoke.
"Y-yes, sir. She doesn't seem dangerous."
"Then why is she tied up?"
Katsuma broke in, "She kept struggling, sir."
The tall man swivelled around and glared at Katsuma. Obviously, he wasn't meant to have spoken. Being the great detective she was, Isla made sure to get a good look at him. He wore blue armour over what looked like black pants and a long sleeved t-shirt. From his ankles to his mid calf was bandaged up. Maybe he was injured? He wore black sandals, not the most practical footwear for living out in the jungle but, hey ho. Around his face was some sort of head protector with the clan symbol on it but it reached down his face and curved when it got to his cheeks. What was most surprising to Isla was the man's young face. He had three red lines going up his face, one on each cheek and one from his chin to just under his bottom lip. His eyes were a shocking red and were narrowed in a glare.

I've never seen anyone like this. Maybe he's albino? Anyways, that fur is really cool. It looks very well kept. Maybe he brushes it? But, if he is albino then won't he have eye problems and stuff?
"What up, fam?" She said, nonchalantly as she could possibly in a situation like this. What Isla hadn't accounted for was that her mouth was still tied so all that came out was, "mm mm, mmph?" The man's red eyes locked onto her's.
Heh. Definitely not blind, I guess?
The man seemed to be gazing into her soul. Too bad that all he'd find was the dankest of memes. In case he was a mind reader, Isla had to take some precautions.
I must think of memes to knock him off track!
"At night, I think of you! I want to be your lady, maybe."
Wait what if he thinks I like him?
"Two plus two is four. Minus one that's three, quick maths."
No! That just won't do it!
"Nico Nico nii! Anata no heart ni Nico Nico nii, egao todokeru yazawa Nico Nico. Nico nii te oboeteru love Nico!"
But now, he might think that I'm a weeb!

Isla had a great idea.

"You fricking fricks! When will you learn? WHEN WILL YOU LEARN THAT YOUR ACTIONS HAVE cOnSeQuEnCeS!?"

Once Isla had that ungodly earrape playing in her head, she returned the man's gaze.

Big mistake.

The man started to walk towards her and out of instinct Isla went to take a step backwards but she felt Haruma's hand on her lower back, steading her. She guessed that she was supposed to stand her ground. Isla wasn't too sure if she was going to able to do that. Terror was obviously present in Isla and the man advanced towards her. He glanced down at her supernatural hoodie and then spoke directly to Isla.
"I didn't ask you to speak, girl." His tone was cold and sharp. Isla cringed back. "I don't know where I am!" She tried to say but it came out as, "m mm mm mmph mm mm!" Isla started to hum the Jurassic Park theme as the man continued to glare at her.

The man looked over to Haruma, inviting him speak.
"We, errm, we found her, sir...'
"I see that."
"We just thought that... we thought that we better bring her back, sir. See if she could be of any... of any use?"
Haruma was visually uncomfortable. The man's piercing gaze was certainly something. Isla was glad that he wasn't the one who had found her.
The man spoke again. "Right. This girl will be bring in for further questioning. Please untie her mouth and hands."
Haruma complied.
"Well, girl, what do you have to say for yourself?"
Isla gazed thoughtfully at him.
"You have weird eyes."
The strange man's expression did not change, though Isla could have sworn his mouth had gone up in a smirk. In the back, Katsuma facepalmed and Haruma silently cried.

"I will personally take her to the heart of the clan where my elder brother and I shall question her. You two are dismissed."
"Yes, sir!" The two ninja chorused. They disappeared. Isla had been left alone with this scary man. He took a tight hold of her upper right arm.
"You are going to come with me."
"Do I have a choice?"
"No."
"Oh."
