Akatsuki's New Medic [Naruto Shippuden Fan Fiction]

1. Kidnapped? Who are you!

I slowly came to. My head pounding, throbbing and pulsating painfully. Throat dry and as I tried to lift my hand to my head for support, I realised I wasn't able to.

I opened my eyes, my sight blurred, foggy. As I gained focus I took in the dimly lit room around me, it was sparsely furnished. I could only make out a modestly sized square table, and a second chair sitting opposite to mine.

Once again I tried to move my hands, I felt a harsh abrasive material rub against my wrists, my hands are bound, what is this? I pondered as I attempted to remember prior events. ''You're back with us already? You have a fast metabolism,'' I heard a rather masculine voice echo from behind me, I froze with surprise.

I attempted to speak, my voice no more than a hoarse croaky whisper, ''Who are you'' I cleared my throat repeating myself and adding ''Where am I? What are you talking about'' After finishing my slow questioning, I heard an almost sinister slow laugh, emanating from the stranger behind me.

''What's so funny!'' I snarled at him, he was not answering me and I even suspected he was enjoying this; mocking me. 

''Oh, just your questions. I was expecting something closer to; What do you want with me? Where is my friend? That sort of thing,'' he began to chuckle quietly, slowly moving and walking past me, taking the other seat.

As his words sunk in, my mind filled with worry and questions. Friends I was with? No, not Ino, What happened? Is Ino okay? Where is she? I began to get angry. Worrying about my friend's safety and well-being. 

I didn't really care about my own safety. But if they dared lay a hand on Ino, I would destroy everything and anything they cared for and make them suffer far more pain than they would cause her.

''Where is Ino! Answer me goddammit. Or I will come over there and rip your throat out'' I growled loudly at him, he was seriously annoying me by this point. His laughter only increased. ''You are threatening me? You are helpless, hands bound behind you, but you threaten me?'' his tone light with entertainment.

He was silenced as I began to murmur something, and proceeded to laugh quietly to myself. Hahaha, he thinks my hands are still bound, I freed them as soon as he walked past me.

''What are you muttering about, what is so funny.'' He demanded, it seemed my callous disregard for this situation was annoying him more and more. Plus his need to know what I was saying.

He moved his arms over the table, leaning his face onto his hands, expecting an answer. ''You really want to know?'' I taunted him, already aware of the answer. I did not yet look up to see him, his appearance unknown to me: perhaps I should show him what was so funny.

In an instant I leapt from my seat, and over the table, grabbing his shoulder as I made contact, tackling him backwards over his chair. I pinned him to the ground, rendering his arms motionless under my legs. I leant over to whisper in his ear, ''Tell me where my friend is, or you're dead.'' I stated heinously ensuring that he knew I was serious. He began to chuckle again.

''Wow, our leader sure can pick 'em, you've been awake for less than five minutes and you're already free? Hmm, maybe I can accept this arrangement. You're quite skilled, intelligent, strong." He paused.

"Yes, I can take you being a female. Although you're a bit bad-tempered. Caring for your friend over yourself... fine I will answer you, just remove 'my' Kunai from my throat.'' He murmured more to himself than me until the end.

I reproached my head, my eyes searching his face for any hints of deceit, surprised to see no trace of it. I moved the kunai away and sat up, making sure to keep his arms pinned beneath my knees, keeping his helpless.
