Chapter 4: The Sixth Station
I would like to say I woke up and carried on with my day as usual, but that would be a lie. And lies lead to nothing but trouble in this world. No I woke very disoriented. I was groggy, and my mind felt sluggish. I wasn't really known for being a quick riser, but when I did wake up I was rarely groggy or confused.
Perhaps I wouldn't have been quiet as confused if I weren't tucked underneath someones arm traveling backwards at high speeds. And perhaps I wouldn't have reacted quite so strongly, if this weren't the case. But I felt screaming at the top of my lungs was perfectly acceptable. The source of movement at that point suddenly disappeared, as the confining forced around my middle ceased to be and I was suddenly attempting to fly… And failing.
I came to a jerking halt due to a harsh grip around my ankle, and I began to wail again. I was four, and still very much terrified of heights. The poor fool holding me had no idea. He was lucky I WAS four and not big enough to harm him in some permanent way. I looked up with no small amount of dread, catching sight of my strange abductor with a whimper. It was the Kiri nin. Why was I not surprised? I started cry again, making childish noises of distress. Maybe if I was loud enough someone who was not a creep would find us…
Not likely. Kami, this guy was a grade A creep and I needed to find a way out. With a flick of his wrist, I was suddenly right side up, his hand gripping the scruff of my sleeping kimono like a pup. This elicited another long set of wails, until he shook me like a dog.
'Shut up brat.'
I all out scream at him, and I was rewarded with another vigorous shake. Scrubbing at my tears, I began to hiccup and sob. This time quietly.
'What a pain,' Was the only other sound to be heard as he threw me over his shoulder. 'If I'd known you'd make this much noise brat, I'da made you sleep until we got to the rendezvous point.'
He hopped into the treetops again after this, and I was left clinging and snuffling on his shoulder. I took pleasure in whipping snot on his shoulder while he wasn't paying attention. Although it wasn't that much longer until he landed. I was grateful for it, half of my terror had just been the height we were traveling at. I'd always had a phobia of heights, even in my past life.
Somedays it really kicked me, not that it really mattered at this point as this freak was probably going to murder me in the near future. I needed to think of a plan quick. He'd said rendezvous point, which was probably more him talking to himself then to me. But I was drawing a blank. Nice to know all of that tuition for college in my past life was well spent. I was a botany major, not a tactician dangit!

We waited in the clearing for about an hour before the people he was waiting for arrived. The two men from last night, my day was just getting better and better. One was really pale, almost sickly looking and wore a dark blue vest with his forehead protector looped around his neck, the other was tall, wearing a gas mask he wore clothing that was some form of black and white camouflage.
'What the hell Kamoi!' The pale one said with a raised eyebrow. 'You took the kid?'
'Yeah, so?'
'They whole damn town was in an uproar when we left idiot.' The tall one said glowering.
'Good on them,' He said shucking me up onto his shoulder further, I let out a small whimper.
'Dude, when the Geisha said no. Im pretty damn sure she meant no.'
'Well it doesn't matter what she said, not like her opinion matters all that much now.'
'And so what? You're going to drag her back to Kiri and have her dance her little fan dances? Are you an idiot.' The pale guy said again.
'No, but you are.'
'Kamoi,' The tall man said looking at the man intently. He seemed sharper somehow, as though even looking at him made it hard to breath. 'I'm getting really tired of your insubordination. Either you explain yourself, or I'll kill you.'
'Che,' Kamoi said before grabbing the back of my Kimono and swinging me around. 'Look at the kid idiot. Really look at her for a second. What do you see?'
'Pink hair, black eyes. A brat. What of it?'
'Look again, with your senses not your eyes.' Kamoi said.
A moment of silence passed as each man stared at me in turn.
'What kinda kid has that much chakra?' The pale guy said finally with an odd look.
'A clan brat,' Said Kamoi with a smirk, he then proceeded to wave me around a bit and I fought to keep myself from bringing my dinner back up. 'Or a bastard. Either would suffice. This kid has more chakra in her then most chunnin ever seen in their lifetime. Chances are some asshole clansman got frisky with that Geisha and this is the result. If so, i'm not waiting for them to find out.'
'You plan to show her off to the Kage?'
'Yeah, and if she eventually shows a bloodline limit, which is a definite possibility- then we'll be in good with the big wigs.'
'Only if the kid proves to be an asset.' Tall said with a sigh.
'Oh I'll make sure of that.' Kamoi said with a grin that I didn't like. The man as a whole just gave me the creeps.
The discussion seemed to conclude after that, and the nin set out again. Although I noted that Kamoi was forced to carry me, even when he was complaining. The other two seemed to be more than a bit peeved with him over this whole mess and for a moment at least I could breath a sigh of relief.
He wasn't a lollicon. Crisis avoided. Or at least I tried to tell myself that, I was torn between the small childs fright that was inevitable, and the more mature rational part of my mind that was attempting and failing to calm it down.
I was failing miserably because despite the one crisis averted, I was still being taken far from my home and away from the person I loved. I was terrified. Even a portion of my adult mind as jibbering in a corner, the only reason I had any rational thought left was because I was always given to having a calm and detached portion of thought in a sea of chaotic one liners.
I ended up clutching gama-chan like the world was ending as we covered the ground to quickly for my brain to process it all, and I continued sniffling. All things told, its a wonder I managed to keep hold of gama-chan even in my drugged sleep. But eventually we came upon another port town and the three split ways on account of my attire and the other two not wanting to be fingered as creepers.
I was still dressed in my white sleeping kimono, so I wasn't exactly considered fit for public. Of course it hadn't been Kamoi's initial plan, he had been thinking to drag me to Kiri as is, but this had been quickly cut down by the other two. Something about not wanting to have anything to do with me- 'You took it, now you take care of it. I'm not lending you any money because you were stupid enough to forget you had to provide for it!'
So I was summarily plopped down in a small clothing shop like a sack of grain as the female proprietor look at us both skeptically.
'She needs clothing- a few changes. I don't care what type, just something that is easy to take care of and cheap.' He grumbled in a reluctant voice, to her credit the pretty mocha skinned woman didn't even bat an eyelash before asking him about colors. 'I don't care, whatever is cheapest.'
'Very well then sir,' The woman said smiling at me kindly, 'Your daughter certainly is unique isn't she?'
'She ain't my brat.' Kamoi snapped at the woman, and she recoiled slightly before resuming her smile, although this one was a great deal less than warm. As if a cloud was sitting on the horizon. It was only a subtle change, something that he no doubt hadn't picked up on, but it was definitely there. For a ninja, he wasn't very good at reading women.
'I see then,' She pausing as if troubled before asking 'May I inquire as to how long you are able to wait? Fitting takes time you see, and we girls need our privacy.'
This sentence brooked no argument, and Kamoi obviously had to stop and think about this for a moment looking more and more out upon.
'How long could it possibly take to get clothing that fits?' He commented in exasperation, his body language was threatening and for some reason I felt sick to my stomach again. The woman only blinked before speaking again.
'Oh well, we start with general sizes you see sir so that we can be the right general area. Then we go through colors, which will probably be something in the range of greens, blues or blacks. Her lovely hair would clash with anything else- Oh could you just imagine her in a emerald or a sea green? OH! Or a royal blue? Then we fit for arm and leg length, I'll have to cut it to size and remeasure-'
'And I'm sorry I asked. How long will it be?' He asked rubbing his brow, now I was starting to think that this all sounded legit but a bit fishy. Generally Kimono's and the like were a bit 'One size fits many' sort of thing, and I didn't see any more modern clothing in the shop so I wasn't sure what to think.
'Ohhh at the least about two hours? Three to be sure,' she said with another coy smile, he was summarily unimpressed.
'I'll be back in two hours then,' he said turning and slumping off as the woman beamed. I took this as an opportunity to look around for a means of escape, I didn't think I would get another chance.
'Now now little one,' the woman said kneeling to look at me 'My name is Yui, what's yours?'
'Mo…' I said quietly before I started to whimper again, I was still so upset and so incapable of controlling it. 'Momoko.'
'Momoko, huh?' She asked gently and I nodded.
'Momoko-chan, would you like something to eat?'
I nodded, scrubbing at my eyes with a dirty sleeve.
'Alright then,' She said moving towards a door in the back 'Hakai!'
The sound of shuffling in the back caught my attention, and a tall rangy teenager came out of the back room carrying a ledger.
'Yes Yui-san?'
'I need you to watch after the shop while I'm gone, do you know if we still have that kimono I made for Haru before she hit her growth spurt?'
'Yes, somewhere in the back… Yui-san, why is there a little girl here?' He asked a bit confused.
'That Hakai, is a very good question.' She said as she came back out of the room behind the counter. She came to stand by me again kneeling down to my level. 'Momo-chan? Can I call you that?'
I nodded, it was easier than talking right now.
'Can you tell me Momo-chan, is that man a friend of your family? Are you suppose to be with him?' She asked pitching her question in an innocent and friendly manner.
'NO!' I said in my blubbering voice, oh the wonders of a child's vocabulary. 'He's a bad man! BAD!'
Yui moved to shush me, pulling me into a hug that I very much needed, and I with a great deal of relief allowed myself to cry into her shoulder.
'Hakai, I'm going to help little Momo-chan clean up and take her to Anju, if a shinobi comes and asks about the girl tell him that someone already took the girl away and that we assumed it was one of his friends,' she said quickly as she moved towards the back carrying me with her. 'Its close enough to the truth to fool him.'
'Alright but… Yui-san, are you sure you want to do this? Get on the bad side of a ninja?'
'Yui Matsuo does not shrink from the anger of a cat, the anger of some stray shinobi is nothing in comparison,' she said with a sniff.
I had to admire her courage, this woman could never really hope to oppose a shinobi. But that didn't stop her from trying. She carried me out of what seemed like a service entrance, navigating the small alleyways that lined the back areas of this line of shops. Out into a crowded fish market, and down another dark service ally. We eventually came to a red painted door, and Yui knocked twice and waited. She then knocked twice more, staggering her knocks just so.
The door opened revealing an old old woman who without question allowed Yui to pass, and closed the door. The woman didn't even bat an eyelash as Yui requested the use of her bathroom, and in short order I was clean and redressed in a small sea green kimono with a lovely blue butterfly design on it. She conversed with the old woman for a bit before coming to the conclusion that it was time for her to leave, and she left instructions with the woman to give to her worker before carrying me again out the door.
What was going on? Well I was (mentally at least) a grown up, I should use my grown up words and figure out what was going on.
'Yui-san?' I asked quietly as we moved down a road that was vaguely familiar- wasn't this the one we came in through this morning? 'Whe'r we going?'
'Yui is taking Momoko to meet a friend of hers in another town,' She said quietly. 'This friend is a shinobi- the good kind and she will be able to get you home.'
I turned this over in my head as we moved toward the gates of the small port town, and towards the forest beyond. Things were really getting weird. One thing was for sure though, I was sooo doing something super awesome nice for Yui when I got old enough to. She was possibly the bravest woman I knew- a scream disrupted my thoughts, and Yui jerked to a halt looking back.
To the east at the other end of the village a large orange glow glinted along the tops of certain houses, and for a moment the other people on the street stood frozen. Then as is out of no where more screaming, people began to panic some fleeing out the gate others running towards the houses and I could see why. There in the distance dark shapes zipped across the houses, darting down and into the crowd to release devastating attacks before moving to find other targets.
I felt dread build in the pit of my stomach, and my fingers clenched in the warm cotton of Yui's yukata. I was terrified. It was then that Yui turned and ran, as if broken from some spell fleeing through the gate after others. Screams grew louder, and closer even as we left the village behind and Yui's breath grew ragged. What was going on?
Occasionally I would catch snippets of words from Yui, and none of them were polite. But she was slowing rapidly, and I couldn't help but think it was my fault. We rounded an outcropping of trees, and Yui skidded to a halt looking back over her shoulder. She seemed to be listening for something, as she lowered me to the ground.
'Momo, I don't have much time so listen carefully.' She said moving towards a large tree, the tree appeared to have a hollow niche behind it and she placed me into it. 'This is my very best hiding spot when I was little. I want you to stay here and play ninja okay? You wait here, and be as quiet as you can, and I will be back before you know it.'
'Okay,' I said quietly, clutching my much battered stuffed animal. Yui gave me a small pat on the head before turning and running towards the path. I ducked down as the she left and I waited… I waited until sunset, but I knew that realistically I probably couldn't afford to wait much longer. Even as a child I had more of a chance of surviving if I headed back towards the village, then if I was alone in the wilderness… although I would have to exercise caution, there was no guarantee that the nin who'd attacked the village were gone.
But I didn't really have any better choice at this point, I could try and search for other means to feed myself, but had no idea what was poisonous and what wasn't. Unless I came acrossed a plant that I had knowledge of from my former life, or something similar I wouldn't be able to do much. I slid out of the hollow fingers sliding along the rough bark as I circled around the other side of the tree towards the path.
The tree itself seemed to be just barely off the path, hidden behind a large stand of bushes. A small barely worn path led out of them towards the main road thankfully, so I wouldn't have any trouble finding it as I had barely any idea as to where I was anyways. Road of course was a generous term, I realized as I walked out onto the packed dirt. It was more of a cart track, or a really wide path. No defined markers, no indications of which direction led where.
I mean, I didn't expect a sign to pop up out of nowhere but some indication of where the village was might have been nice… There was a fifty fifty chance of me picking the right direction, and my luck as of late had been really backhanded so any direction was just as good as the other. I sighed and chose a direction, sure that if anyone were to happen across me at this point they would mistake me for an extremely small old woman.
I tottered down the lane as twilight bled into night, bright stars telling me nothing tired, depressed and sore. At one point I was frightening by the presence of something laying in the middle of the road, no… Not something.
Someone. Oh Yui no. Not you too, please, please, please not Yui. But…. But the Kimono was the same bright yellow, the skin- though a bit paler was the same mocha brown. Although the yellow was now harshly marred by a red stain near her… What use to be her neck. I felt my eyes begin to water, and I mentally shrieked at the unfairness of it all. What had she ever done to anyone- sans stealing me back from kidnappers?
I might have briefly considered that this was there doing, but the nin who had attacked the town had been different. The world didn't revolve around me after all, no I highly doubt these people even knew Yui as more than another one who didn't get away. My knees shook and sat down quickly to avoid them giving out.
