I was now far away from the village and out in the woods, I had been locking away my feelings ever since I left the interrogation building and now I couldn't keep them in any longer. I fell to my knees and sobbed into my hands and the tears kept rolling down my cheeks. Why does he make me feel like this? I barely even know him! Damn it, I hate this! No one has ever been able to make me feel guilty so what has changed. I just sat there on my knees under the trees sobbing for what felt like hours. When I finally regained my composure I decided I would visit the nearby lake and draw or paint that usually cheered me up. When I got there and sat down with my sketch book in hand I realized that I couldn't admire the beauty of the place. I can't take this! I have to do something! But what could I do? I'm just a fourteen-year old girl. I can't convince the Hokage to let him go as he would only consider that if Deidara told him information on the Akatsuki, which he is insistent on keeping secret. That leaves only one option left... No don't be stupid how could I even think of doing that it would be a suicide mission! But what other choice do I have? Come on Kootoni you can do it! I mean you know the schedules of all the guards, you have an excuse to be in there if you get caught and you are very good at being invisible when you want to be, how hard can it be? But what happens after I get him out of the interrogation building and that's only if I make it that far, what about the Anbu they would be on our tails and we would surely be noticed quickly especially him in his current condition. And, would I even be able to carry him? What if he loses consciousness, how will I carry him then? Ahh this is insane you're not actually thinking about this Kootoni you'd be classified as a missing nin and they would kill you if they ever found you and even if you did succeed where would you go? You have no other family or friends outside of Konoha, and what about Naruto? He needs you and if you left he would only blame himself. My life would be over, is he really worth that?

It wasn't until nightfall that I had formulated a plan and decided that I was going to do this. I went home immediately to go pack and when I was finished I took my stuff to a secret location in the woods just outside Konoha, the two guards where fast asleep and so weren't that hard to sneak past. When I returned into town I went to my house to grab some food pills, smoke bombs and weapons and left a note to say goodbye to my friends, even if I didn't have many, then left for the interrogation building. When I arrived I waited on a nearby roof top, Ibiki was probably still in there finishing up paperwork so I would have to be careful when I managed to get inside. I sat patiently waiting for the Jonin guarding the place to switch shifts and when they did I quickly concealed my chakra to the best of my ability and jumped to an open window above them while they were distracted. Great, now what? It's not too late to turn back a voice in my head replied. No what am I thinking I've come this far no going back now. I left the empty room through the door and walked stealthily down the corridors until I had got to the stairs which led to the lower floor where he was being held. I took one last breath to calm my nerves and started to walk down the stairs. When I made it to the bottom of the stairs I stopped to think of the closest exit in case of an emergency. When I made up my mind what way to go I made my way down the corridor to where the big, rusted metal door would be, but stopped in my tracks as I noticed Ibiki with Iwashi and Genma, who are part of the Hokage guard platoon. I quickly hid in the shadows praying no one would hear or see me.I stood incredibly still as I watched Iwashi and Genma leave, thankfully neither noticed me and I started to relax forgetting about Ibiki, who had now come up behind me and grabbed my shoulders. I quickly gave him a sharp kick to the knee making him let me go as I jumped to the other end of the corridor.

"Don't do this Kootoni" he said. I looked up shocked to see him looking at me with pleading eyes and a look of pity on his face rather than the anger I was expecting to see.

Ibiki's POV

Kootoni looked up to me rather shocked looking and I couldn't tell if that was because of me sneaking up behind her or the sudden change in my attitude. I knew she had come here to help that Akatsuki scum in the cell just behind me. I knew by the look on her face earlier today that he had gotten to her somehow. Of course I was aware that she hated seeing people this way, but not once had I ever seen her react like she did today. All I could think of was what did he say to her that got her to react like this? "It's not too late you know" I pleaded her. I really didn't want to see her locked up for the rest of her life, I may act like I hate her, but I did care, I always saw her as a daughter to me after her father abandoned her; that teme. I knew how much she seemed to care for that boy the moment she entered his cell for the first time. After that, I went to the Hokage to beg for him to take her off the assignment and when he agreed I knew she would come barging in shouting swears at me; that was just the type of person she was when she got angry; I smirked to myself. But then when I couldn't get any information out that damn teen the Hokage started to waver in his decision to take her off the assignment, I managed to persuade him to let me try one last time which is how he ended up down here, but still he said nothing. I knew then that she would be brought back in; Damn it! I should have tried harder.

"I.. II.." she stuttered bringing me back to reality. "I can't stop, I would never be able to forgive myself" she whispered, barely audible.

"And how will you forgive yourself about leaving the village behind and betraying those you supposedly love? What about Naruto, how do you think he will feel? You know he will blame himself, don't you care about him?" I said desperately trying to get her to think over what she was doing.

"Don't you dare try to tell me how I should feel! You don't have a right to speak to me like that!" She yelled tears involuntarily rolling down her cheeks. My anger started to grow out of frustration and I could tell my face was showing it, this seemed to scare her as she backed off a bit.

I immediately tried to calm down and softened my face "Please.." I said in a last pitiful attempt to change her mind.

"I'm sorry" she whispered as I felt everything around me start to fade into darkness.

Back to Normal POV

I watched as Ibiki started to fall to the floor revealing my clone behind him. I can't fight him head on so I knocked him out with a swift hit to the neck while he was distracted.

"No turning back now" I sighed. "Goodbye Ibiki" I kissed him on the cheek as I started towards the metal door and opened it with a loud creak. I had better hurry up the others must have heard something by now so I don't have much time. I went over to the barely conscious blonde and tried to get him to help me lift him off the ground. It was no use he was far too weak and almost completely out of it.

"Damn it!" I cursed to myself. I have no choice but to use all my strength to haul him up and lean him on my shoulder as he tried his best to lean on his own two feet. He was far heavier than he looked, but then again I'm embarrassingly weak and can barely carry my own groceries home from the shop. I started toward the stairs heading up them when I heard someone coming down them. Damn I have no choice but to keep heading down the stairs. I suddenly took out paper bombs attached to kunais' and launch them at the walls causing them to collapse giving me more time to think of a way out. After a bit of thinking I remembered the secret passage I found in the basement that I used to play in when I was younger the day my father had taken me to his workplace, but I don't even know if it's still there or not. I guess there is only one way to find out I started to make my way down the stairs at an agonisingly slow pace as I tried to keep my balance with the boy two years older than me leaning heavily on me. When I finally made it to the basement I made a few hand signs and concentrated my chakra into my left hand and said, "Kaminari bōru (Lightning ball)". Instantly the room started to light up. I made this technique up myself. It was a failed attempt to try and copy the chidori that I saw Sasuke use. It was rather pathetic compared to the chidori, but it did come in useful sometimes. I searched the room and finally found the spot where a dresser hid a secret trap door that no one but myself and Ibiki knew about as I was the one to show it to him when my father was away on an 'errand' as he called it.I carefully set Diedara down causing him to grunt in pain

"Sorry" I whispered. Then, I started to push the dresser out of the way and opened the hatch which hid a small dark tunnel that led to the middle of the village. I looked around for something to conceal me and the very beaten up looking Deidara and found some cloaks; Well it is raining outside so we wouldn't look suspicious. I slide the cloak over Deidara and then put mine on. I stopped flowing the chakra to my hand knowing that I might need to conserve it to get out of the village. After lifting Deidara and taking a very deep breath to calm my nerves as I was claustrophobic and hated the dark, I started to head down the very long and narrow tunnel. When we reached the center of town I started to walk towards the gates knowing that it would take the interrogation core a while to dig out the rubble of the now collapsed staircase and since me and Ibiki where the only ones that knew of the tunnel that meant they would still think I was stuck down there so I still had some time before Anbu were sent after me. I finally made my way to the gates and saw Izumo and Kotetsu not sleeping or reading books at the patrol booth. That meant only one thing, they were on the look out for me. Great looks like I have no choice but to use a very unpracticed genjutsu on them. I made hand signs and used double false surroundings technique as knowing these two would figure out the first quite easily. Then, I ran past them and out the gates as fast as I could now soaking wet towards the dark forest outside the village. I was only half a mile away from the village when I sensed three chakras approaching quickly, but how? I still should have had time left. I then suddenly remembered I was supposed to meet Naruto for ramen tonight. He most likely got worried and entered my place to check on me and found my note earlier than he was supposed to. Crap that means the Hokage has been alerted and sent out Anbu to capture and restrain me. What am I going to do?
