(Nikki's outfit)

"According to our intel, the thieves who took the golden statue are either traveling on land through this forest path or sailing by boat and will land here. We're going to split up into two teams and lie in wait for them. In terms of balance, i guess I should go alone and the four of you will be together." Kakashi-sensei told us.

"What do you mean by that? Are you saying Sasuke needs all the help he can get?" Naruto asked him, tilted his slightly.

This cause Sasuke to glares at him. "No, you're the hindrance." He said to Naruto before he turn to Kakashi-sensei. "I'm not up to your level yet, but surely 4 to 1 is too much. Why don't you take Naruto off my hands? Subtract his skill from yours, and we'll be even." Sasuke told sensei causing me to blush when I notice that he was looking at me with a smirk.

I look away, trying to hide my flustered face but then I see Sakura having hearts for eyes causing me to look at her dumbfound as I could guess that she took his words the wrong way.

"You've got to be kidding! Why would you subtract my skill?!" Naruto asked Sasuke, furious.

"Because you have nothing to add." Sasuke simply answered.

"What?!" Naruto said, not taking it well.

I look over Kakashi-sensei who motion me over to him which I did, sitting next to him without did others noticing it.

"Sasuke wants to be with me so much, he's getting impatient!" Sakura squeaking out.

"You're just as irritating!" Kakashi-sensei mumble as he shocked them.

"Okay, pay attention." He told them as we all turn back to the map.

"I'll watch the pier. And you four will keep an eye on this path in the forest. If the thieves, appear, notify me immediately. Do not take them lightly. Our mission is to retrieve the golden statue.
We must proceed with utmost caution. If the thieves appear on my side, i will send a signal with this. When this lightning barrel is tossed into the air, it will release one thunderbolt. Once you verify it rush straight to that location." Kakashi-sensei explain to us.

"You better handle that with care." Naruto said pointing at Sasuke.

"Now remember. You are not to act alone." Kakashi-sensei told us.
__________

As we were at the location Kakashi-sensei told us, we hide up in the tress and waited for any sight of the thieves.

I gasp quickly when I caught the sight of thieves. I watch as the horse almost slide of the edge but the leader wrap something around the horse neck from his wrist.

My eyes widened as i saw Naruto and Sasuke launch themselves to the horse.

Then I quickly took action and rush over to Sakura, surprising her as I took the lightning barrel from her before fire it however it was wrap in some weird stuff, shocking me. We look back to see that leader's men throw chains at us causing us to quickly dodge them.

I suddenly felt a chain, wrapped around my ankle causing me to yelp as I was swing over did edge of the cliff and everything when black.

Sasuke's POV

"I can't believe they stole something stupid like this." Naruto said as i hold the treasure above us while we both were panting for air.

"Thunder..." I stated.

"Huh?"

"The thunderbolt to signal Kakashi-sensei didn't go off, did it?" I said to Naruto.

"No." Naruto answered me.

"Maybe Sakura and Nikki couldn't release it." I guess while worrying for Nikki safety.

"Sakura and Nikki been captured?!" Naruto proclaimed causing me to worry even more. once he did, we both saw our hands was stuck together.

"W-what's going on?" Naruto wondered confused.

"We're stuck together." I said but then I notice something that cause me to gasp. "NIKKI!" I yelled out, worried as i quickly ran over to her dragging Naruto with me.

(Not exactly how I want it but it was close enough.)

"Hey Nikki! Are you okay?" I asked worried while kneeling next to her and gently shaking her

"Is she okay?" Naruto asked me but I didn't answer him.

I ignore him as I hold Nikki's nose then put my lips on her, performing the mouth to mouth.

I did it a few times until she suddenly started to coughing out water.

"Nikki are you okay?" Naruto asked her once she stop coughing.

"I think so." She answered weakly as I help her sit up in the best way I could with one hand.

Nikki's POV

I notice both of their hand was stuck together. "Why are you hands stuck together?" I asked them and look at Sasuke in shock.

After their had explain to me everything, I was now sitting on a rock while watching them.

"Ready... Pull!" Their said as they're pull in the opposite direction.

But end up being bouncing back at each other causing me to wince as it looks painful.

I then watch them run towards a stone wall and punch it, this cause them to shivered in pain.

Next they tried jumping of a waterfall but that backfire, causing them to end up kissing when their bounce out of the water.

"Why is it always with you?" I heard Sasuke asked to Naruto when their resurface.

"That's my line!" Naruto said back to Sasuke but then their saw that their were still stuck together.

They swim over to shover where i waiting for them.

We all sit down trying to think of a plan when suddenly Naruto stood up. "Sasuke... While we're stuck like this, Sakura could be..." Naruto said as he started to run off, dragging Sasuke with him.

I gasp as i run after them. "NARUTO!" I exclaimed.

"You idiot. Naruto!" Sasuke said.

"Sakura... I'm coming to save you!" I heard Naruto proclaimed.

"Wait! You fool!" Sasuke exclaimed as he swing his leg at Naruto's causing him fall on top of Sasuke.

"What the hell are you doing, Sasuke?!" Naruto asked him as i stood next to them.

"Come on guys, please clam down." I said to them worried.

"Don't you care what happens to Sakura?! What if it was Nikki?!" Naruto asked him, ignoring me but his comment cause Sasuke to look at me.

"We will save Sakura, Naruto! Just came down." I told him.

"But we can't do anything if our hands are like this." Sasuke said after me.

"We're going to save her despite that. It's what friends do! I...I don't want to be some scum who doesn't give a damn about his friends!" Naruto told us causing me to looked at him with wide eyes as I remember what Kakashi-sensei told us after survival test.

"Then joining up with Kakashi-sensei is the right move to make! It will increase Sakura's chance of survival!" Sasuke said, augre with him.

"Don't talk about her chance of survival! It just depends on how hard we want to save her!" Naruto told him.

"Guys, this is not going help Sakura at all!" I exclaimed as Naruto grab the treasure.

"We can't let Sakura die over something this stupid!" Naruto said, slamming the treasure at the stuff that attach them together.

"You idiot! Stop it, Naruto!" Sakura said try to stop him.

"Damn it... Damn it... Damn it..." Naruto said each time he hit it.

"You know, a guy who doesn't take his mission seriously is also scum." Sasuke comment, this cause Naruto to stop all of a sudden.

"Gotta pee." Naruto suddenly said causing me to sweat drop.

"What?!" Sasuke said shocked.

"I said, i. Need to take a leak!" Naruto proclaimed before dragging Sasuke with him to a stone wall causing me to quickly turn around, away from them.

"Hey, what the hell?!" I heard Sasuke exclaimed.

"Uh...well... Okay, one hand then." Naruto told to himself while i blush in embarrassment since I could heard them.

Suddenly I heard a sounds of chains. "NIKKI LOOK OUT!!" I quickly turn to see a chain heading towards me causing me to dodge it quickly.

"NIKKI, ARE YOU OKAY!" Sasuke yelled to me as i keep dodging while running next to them.

"You're in my way, Naruto!" Sasuke complain to Naruto.

"You're the one who's in my way!" Naruto complain to Sasuke.

"Now is not the time for this!" I told them as we were all dodging the chains attacks.

"GIVE BACK THE TREASURE!" The man after us yelled until we suddenly tripped from his attack.

"Multi, shadow Jutsu!" Naruto said, trying to perform the jutsu but it didn't work since he only had one hand.

"Like you can weave a sign with one hand! Didn't I tell you? At this rate, we didn't have a chance even against guys much weaker than us!" Sasuke told Naruto before turning to me. "Nikki, you have to take him down alone."

I nodded and launch myself towards the man as he throw his chain at me but I catch it, then swing it around my arm before pulling it to me causing him to fly towards me. Once he was close enough, I kick him to the stone wall, knocking him unconscious.

"Now I'm going to save Sakura." Naruto said while i grab the chain and tied the man up.

"Since the enemy came this far, well probably by found before we catch up to Kakashi-sensei." Sasuke told us as I when over to them. "If that's the case, it'll be faster if we make this guy tell us when Sakura is and save her."

"Sasuke..." Naruto murmured in surprised.

"Through it'll depend totally on us working together." Sasuke told us causing Naruto to grinned at him.

"Right!" Naruto nodded but then he flinch. "Oh, I just remembered I gotta pee." He proclaimed.

"Me too." Sasuke sigh in agreement with Naruto.

I look at them before sigh as I turn away from them while their walk away toward the stone wall.
_______

We finish coming up with a plan to save Sakura and i lead us to the location of the thieves was at.

I watch as one of the thief came running to the leader. "What? Suguro hasn't come back?" I heard the leader say.

"I wonder if he..." One of men said from the left side of the leader.

"You've wondering right." Look over to Sasuke and Naruto.

"Yeah!" I heard Naruto said as our plan has begun.

"Free at last." Naruto mock them.

"Only a fundal Lord's sister could own a gold statute like that. It managed to pull us apart." Sasuke explain in cocky tone while holding out the statute.

I saw Sasuke sending me the signal without anyone noticing.

I quickly move over to Sakura while hiding my present, I mange to get Sakura off the horse without being notice or so I thought.

"Hey! There anyone of them." I gasp in shock and turn around to see some of the thieves came running towards us. "Get them!"

I pull out a kunai after summoning a shadow clone and had her take Sakura somewhere safe.

The thieves also took their weapons out and start attacking me. I block one sword that came at me and round house kick him away from me and back flip away as a chain came swing at me.

Then two guys came at me from both sides and i flip down to a hand stand and did a spite kick on both of their faces, knocking them out completely.

This when on for a wide but I was able to take all down until there was no more.
________

When everything was over we all when to meet up with Kakashi-sensei.

"Well, I guess it can be melted down and re-cost. Just maybe." Kakashi-sensei mumble as he look at the golden statute.

"Thank you, Sasuke!" Sakura squeaked while hugging his arm.

But he pull it out of her grip and grab me by my waist causing me to blush while Sakura to glares at me.

"Hey. I did my best too. This is ridiculous! How come you, of all people, can't undo this, Kakashi-sensei?!" Naruto said as he try to break free which causing me to giggle.

"Remember, that boss said so too. It'll crumble apart in two three days." Sakura told him which made Sasuke to laugh at them.

"That's my line." Naruto said but then he suddenly flinch.
"Uh-oh... I think I need to go." Naruto exclaimed.

"Not again." Sasuke said in disbelief.

"This time it's number two." Naruto proclaimed while putting a hand on Sasuke's should.

"You're got to be kidding." Sasuke said. "Don't you dare, Naruto!" He proclaimed as he was dragged away by Naruto to a tree.

"Aw c'mon we already peed together." Naruto said, grinning at Sasuke.

"This is worse!" Sasuke complained as me and Sakura turn around.
