Chapter 5: Namkai's Mistake

Cat’s P.O.V.

“Gaara!” I sit up in bed. “Oh good, it was just a dream.”

“What was just a dream?” a strange voice floats to me, it sends shivers up my spine.

“Who- what- where are you?” I stutter. A boy with red hair and a black cloak with red clouds on it steps out of the shadows. “Akatsuki!”

“Do not worry Cat, I will not hurt you,” he comes and sits on the foot of my bed.

“You know me, who are you? How did you get in here?”

“I am Sasori of the Red Sand, and I am here to keep watch over you,” he answers.

“Oh, then how did I get here?” I cross my legs underneath the bed sheets.

“Your father requested that you have this room.”

“My father?” everything starts to come back to me. “Oh, yeah.”

“So you remember then?”

“Yes.”

The silence in the room is so loud I can’t hear myself think. Suddenly my eyes open wide.

“Gaara,” I look around the room, all I see is dark shapes of furniture. “Where is Gaara?”

“Locked up.”

“What?!” I jump up and run towards the door but Sasori stops in front of me with his hand held out.

“I am sorry Cat, but you cannot leave.”

“Take me to him,” I demand.

Temari’s P.O.V.

“Shikamari!” I scream as I pound my fists on the brown door to his house. His mom opens the door looking worried and ushers me inside quickly.

“What has happened?” she asks.

“I need Shikamaru’s help,” I pant.

“Okay,” she rushes to the staircase. “Shikamaru!”

“What a drag,” I hear him mumble as he pounds each foot on the stairs. His attitude changes once he sees me. “Oh, hey Temari.”

My heart flutters, “H-hey Shika.”

“Need something?”

“Oh, uh, yes, I need your help.”

Gaara’s P.O.V

“Gaara,” someone pokes my arm. “Wake up.”

I open my eyes and blink a few times; I see Cat standing above me. Her black hair frames her face and her green eyes glow as she looks down at me.

“Cat?” I sit up and rub my head; it hurts from sleeping on a hard wooden swing.

“Yes,” she smiles with her eyes closed.

“Where am I at?” I look around. I am in a small cube shaped cement room with metal bars for a door and window above my head.

“Noketsu’s jail,” a boy in an orange mask says in a high pitched voice. Another Akatsuki member…

“Who are you?” Cat asks, turning to him.

“I’m Tobi, I’m here to babysit Gaara,” he says.

“Babysit?!” Cat and I scream.

“Shh… you don’t want to wake up the head of the Akatsuki do you?! You, Cat, aren’t even supposed to be down here. Sasori and I are breaking the rules for you.”
