Chapter 2: Following

Walking for what seemed like hours, Dani and Kite stopped to eat and rest. Both still effected by their mother's death, it clouded their minds; they didn't even sense the two presences following them. This disorientation had been going on since they left their home earlier. Their guards down, both exhausted from lack of sleep and with the distance they're traveling they risked being attacked at any time. Neither of them really knew how to reach Konoha. Just a general direction in which to head, that's all the twins possessed. That's all their mother could give them.



Dani dropped down to the cool grass, shutting her eyes, trying to get perhaps a little rest. Kite sat with her back to a huge rock. She never liked leaving her back open to everything. It was always better having your back up against a rock or something. If you're attacked then the least of your worries would be getting stabbed in the back while at your most vulnerable.



They were both sleeping until the snap of a twig echoed loudly throughout the area.



At the same time, Dani was grabbed by the throat, Kite was grabbed on each side by two huge, ugly men. The leader was tall and good looking but his obvious lack in personality and manners made him appear the opposite, also making both girls cringe. He had short black hair, well muscled body, his scrutinizing, leering gaze caused them to shiver internally. The two at Kite's side and the one at Dani's basically looked the same. Mean and ugly. What difference did it make? You've seen one tough bastard you've seen them all.



Exchanging a look, Kite and Dani knew this was going to come down to a fight, something they didn't want unless it was necessary.



Kite asked the leader,"Excuse me but who are you?" She wasn't one to pretend to cower, being frightened of a man. Why should she when she possessed the power she did. But for now it was best to bide her time, be patient and opportunity would present itself.



Reaching out with his hand, pushing her chin up to see her face better, he replied,"I'm Sito." Motioning to the guys holding her he continued naming names. "These two are Mako and Takei. Holding your lovely sister over there is Kasen."



Dani struggling to get away from Kasen was shocked that he knew their relationship. "Wait. how do you know if we're sister's or not?"



Sito smiled. The sight unnerved Dani; Kite too. "Let's just say we've been payed well to keep you from Konoha. Someone wants the two of you so badly, they're willing to pay a huge bounty for you both!" Stepping over to Dani, he lay his hand on her face, cupping her cheek. Sito slowly, seductively, ran his hand down her face sliding it down her neck and following his own path down to her body.



Outraged, Dani struggled but their was something off here... her movements were extremely limited, 'Oh no!', she thought.'I can't move! One of them must have used some sort of paralyzing jutsu. Damn!' Glancing at Kite, it was the same thing there. She couldn't move either, not much, anyway. "What the hell do you think you're doing? Get your disgusting hands off me!"



Dani had never wanted to cry so bad in her life, outside her mother's death. Without the jutsu that'd been placed on them, her and Kite could've taken them and killed them easily. Somehow, they'd been betrayed, but by who she'd like to know! Besides her mother, they knew about a handful of people; she was certain that it hadn't been any of them. That same group lived in seclusion, as Kadike and her daughters. Trust, a commodity hard to earn, was something difficult to earn in their eyes. Was it their jerk of an unknown father? Would he be capable of actions such as these? If not, then who and why?



Meanwhile at a discreet distance, two males experiencing difficulty keeping their temper in check warred with their inner selves to barge in and beat the shit out of these guys. The attackers, allowing themselves many liberties still did nothing to dampen the girls' fiery, spirited, verbal assault. As soon as Dani had been grabbed and the leader taking liberties with her, the taller of the two prepared to unleash kunai hell on them all. The other man kept a careful eye on Kite, hoping they didn't subject her to the touches and humiliation that Dani was enduring.



The tall one told his companion,"We stay here for now. Apparently they can't raise some hell due to the paralyzing jutsu placed on both of them. If they try to go any farther with Dani, we'll attack; we'll kill all the rotten bastards."



Slowly nodding his head to show his agreement, the second man gritted his teeth forcing himself to keep a semblance of calmness and not go after them until it was time. "Let me guess... you can see what they've done with your special abilities, can't you?"



"Yes." Turning his eyes and head back to the traumatizing scene before them, they could only watch for now. This was a torture all by itself, nothing extra needed. Silently, wishing the girls could hold out for awhile, the men wanted the villains to reveal more of themselves and their full purpose of being here and who paid them to carry this out.



Sito had been told that both girls were virgins and this pleased him greatly. Inching slowly forward he teased Dani,"You've never been with a man, have you?" His other hand roamed over her body then coming to a halt on her waist, sliding around to her back, she jumped a little, unsure of what his plans consisted of.



Shaking her head, she whispered,"No." Tears welled up in her eyes at the thought of this barbarian touching her further and taking something she couldn't ever get back.



"You prick! Leave her alone." Kite was furious! If only she could move, she'd tear him limb from limb! If only she wasn't under the restrictions of that damned jutsu and was able to call upon one of her elements! They'd be shown a thing or two about pain!



"Hush, my dear, you'll have a turn, don't worry." Sito's voice left her skin cold, but her body was infuriated at her sister's treatment.



Before Dani had a chance to react, Sito quickly swept in claiming a kiss. With the jutsu still in effect she couldn't fight him at all; her struggles weak and pathetic, like a small child. After moments that felt like eternity, he pulled back; fascinated at what her eyes revealed to him.



"Beautiful. You must be upset, Dani. Your eyes are turning purple. I've heard of this anomaly, but have never seen it until now." Admiring her eyes, face and body, he admitted he wanted her, didn't care much for her sister, but he wanted Dani." Your eyes, the way they turn; your hair, glinting like liquid silver under the light...I can't resist, you'll be mine, forever! After my employer is through with you that is."



"NO! GET OFF!!" Dani tried to make her body obey her commands to move, but it was futile, the jutsu too powerful to fight.. Looking over at her sister she mouthed, "I'm sorry!" But wait! If she could mouth words....maybe if she struggled enough she'd be able to work her way loose from being paralyzed.



Kite found herself able to move a little. Stepping backwards what short distance she could, she stomped hard on Mako's foot. Takei reacted with a punch to her face knocking her to the ground.



"Kite!" Anxiously eyeing her sister, she closed her eyes....searching to feel her sister. Nothing. She must be unconscious! These men would learn they were called the Shinobi Elements for a reason!



Sito whipped out a hidden kunai from the back of his back pouch. He started slicing her top in half when a kunai flew past his head. An unfamiliar voice rang out in the clearing.



"That was a warning. The next one WILL NOT miss!" It happened to be a man's voice, deep, but not too deep; the animosity carried in his tone was unmistakable. Standing next to him was another man. Both of them were dressed as nins but he wasn't sure where they hailed from.



"Kakashi, let's show them ass kicking Konoha style, shall we?"



The silver haired man's companion smirked as Kakashi replied in kind, "I believe we shall. Genma, you take the two on Kite and I'll take the others."



"Got it."



Sito, drops of sweat beading on his forehead, he was truly nervous now! They faced a nin who's face decorated a bingo book for years on end. A most powerful force. A deadly one. They faced a man most never lived to speak about after he faced them and defeated them.

Glancing at their forehead protectors he swore harshly."Damn! Guys let's make a run for it. Those two are from Konoha; we can't match them right now as we are. Retreat." Jerking Dani up to his body, Sito stole one final kiss before throwing her to the ground. With four separate puffs of smoke they all vanished, no traces of them left behind.



The kunai thrower headed over to Dani, helping her up. Dispelling the jutsu that held the girls prisoner, the first voice asked Dani if she's alright.



"I'm fine. What about Kite?" Worriedly looking at her sibling, she wondered if she was ok.



The second man spoke up."She's fine. Just knocked out, that's all."



Dani appraised the men, starting with the one who'd helped her. He was really tall, silver hair, his forehead protector covered one of his eyes and he wore a mask. His body was one of a slim, muscled build from many years of working out. The second man, being shorter, had longer brown hair, also, well muscled. His trademark distinction was the senbon cradled between his perfect lips.



Shock setting in, she asked them nervously,"Who are you guys? Where'd you come from?"



The silver haired man stepped closer. "I'm Hatake, Kakashi and this is my friend Shiranui, Genma. We've been sent to retrieve you, bringing you to Konoha, which is where we're from."



Her eyes widened. It had to be their lucky day now. "That's where we're supposed to be going. It was our mother's last words to us. Whenever she died, we were to go to Konoha and seek out Tsunade, the Hokage of that village."



Both Kakashi and Genma smirked. It was hard to believe but they were thinking the same thing at this point in time.'Today must be our lucky day!'



Fiercely scowling at their rescuers she snapped,"Don't get any ideas! My sister and I could tear you both to pieces should we want to."



Snorting, Genma fired back,"Right now, with those guys, you couldn't even take care of yourself!" Rolling his eyes, it would be Kami's day to laugh at them; luck giving him and Kakashi a pair of feminists! Kami's sense of humor sucked pretty bad right now!



Sticking her face up near Genma's, Dani frowned. "I don't know why those guys ran from the two of you, but Genma, you don't look like much."



"Darlin' you know what they say about dynamite!" He turned his head, mischievously grinning.



"No. What would that be? That it's all an initial boom and a lot of disappointment behind it?!" He'd definitely pushed her buttons and wasn't getting away with it!



A hand placed itself on her arm. Dani promptly jerked her arm away from the offending hand. Growling,"Don't touch me!"



Kakashi's eye opened wider, his eyebrow riding up into his hairline. It aggravated him to hear her attitude; after all she should be grateful for being rescued. Surely she didn't like the molestation she'd been experiencing. Wanting to see how far she'd go, he asked her,"What.. should we have left you? Did you like him touching you? Did you...WANT him?" Kakashi's voice now had the seductive tone to it.



Raising her hand, Dani slapped him for his insensitive questions and comments. Genma just laughed about it. She asked him,"Do you want some too? Then how about a nice cup of shut the hell up!" Her eyes, moments ago had gone back to green and now... they were a violet purple.



Kakashi noticed her eyes. 'She must be pretty worked up for them to be that color,' he thought. 'They've gone into a deep purple, like some hues you see in a sunset or sunrise at certain times of the morning and evening.



"Ohhhhhhhhh...... my head hurts. What the -?" Kite looked at the trio in confusion. "What's going on ,Dani?"



Snidely spitting out,"These apparently are our bodyguards." Introducing the tall man as Kakashi and the senbon twirler as Genma.



"We don't need guardians, bodyguards or anything else. We're just fine on our own!" Kite was pissed at the thought of having two male babysitters. She learned from her mother's mistake, not to trust a man...ever! They'd wine you, dine you, sleep with you and leave quietly in the darkness. Never to return. Or so their mother's experience told them. Either that or he'd talk nice to you, screw you then leave you high and dry. Stupid bastards! All of them!



Genma stood up. "What the hell is this? Let's-be-unappreciative-day or something? You know what thank you is, right?" He crossed his arms, the frustration rising, feeling the urge to kill them both already!



Dani and Kite both spoke. "Yeah. We know what it is but you don't deserve it!"



Kite stated,"What, did you think we'd screw you out of gratitude? We don't work that way!" Hugging her sister, she wanted to cut his parts off and scatter them to the four winds!



Speaking up,Kakashi replied back,"We didn't expect anything but a simple thank you. That's it."



"Well it's not going to happen anyway. We will never show gratitude to any man for anything!" Dani, unfortunately, not knowing the two jounin, didn't realize she'd just set up herself and Kite for one hell of a bet. One the guys were positive they'd lose!



The silver headed, fomer ANBU captain smirked. "Care to bet on that?"



Kite nodded . "We take that bet! You two will be going down."



Staring at her, Genma verbally shot back at Kite."When all's said and done... you two will be going down.. on us that is!



Lunging forward, Kite tried to punch Genma but her sister caught her and Kakashi stepped in front of him just to stop her from doing something foolish. She snapped out," You son of a bitch! Get ready for the fight of your life. I'll take you down myself!"



"Ummmm.. I love a good challenge." Winking at her, Genma felt her control slip further out of her control. Her sister leaned in whispering something in her ear, instantaneously calming her. He'd never seen anything like it!



"So, Kakashi, what are the stakes?" Dani questioned nervously. She bit down on her bottom lip hoping it was something that she and Kite could live with should they lose.



"If we win, we get a months worth of dates, on which we do whatever we want. If you win... what would be required of us?" Intently watching the silver haired girl, he wondered what she'd whip of for their half.



Kite stepped up to the plate on this one."You'll be our slaves for a month. Our-personal-slaves.....cleaning our weapons, helping us spar among other things. So just you wait. And you better hope we don't win because you'll regret it!"



Genma and Kakashi stuck out their hands, as did the girls. All four shook hands completing the bet and sealing it. Before they two females could start to mouth off again, Kakashi looked both of them in the eyes, inducing them into a sleep filled jutsu, where they'd sleep until the group reached Konoha.



Kakashi caugh Dani as she fell towards the ground. Genma did the same with Kite.



"Kashi?"



"Yeah?"



"Don't you think they're gonna be pissed when they wake up?"



"Probably. But our trip will go smoother and faster with them incapacitated and giving us no shit! It'll be easier letting Tsunade deal with them, relaxing their fiery tempers. They're just as bad as she is!" Looking down at the girl in his arms he said to Genma, "Whoever their father was he was a real bastard for leaving them. Also, I can't help wonder if there's more to the story than either of them know. They're so combative....it's easy to see that his disappearance left quite an unfavorable impression on them. But for now let's return to the village and get things sorted out."



The two gorgeous Jounin jumped upwards into the trees going in the direction of their home. The anticipation was making them slightly giddy, even for men. It'd been almost a month since they'd left to find the twin girls. All they wanted was a hot meal and an even hotter bath. Having a drink wouldn't hurt either.



Genma and Kakashi had already observed that these girls were nothing but trouble. They both wanted to hear it from Dani and Kite on why they were so negative about men. Could it have to do with the disappearance of their father and how no one knew who he was? Unfortunately, their were so many blanks to fill in and if the girls didn't know any of the answers then this may have turned out to be a wasted trip!



Shortly, up ahead, there appeared the gates of Konoha. Relief flooded through the men, they were so glad to be home and now they had to deliver their precious cargo into Tsunade's hands. Leaping along the rooftops and over buildings they finally found themselves standing directly in front of the Hokage's office.



Holding his breath, Kakashi shoved the door open, walking in with Genma on his tail. Dani and Kite were still asleep and it was a good thing too. They didn't need a fight in Tsunade's office! That'd be one other pissed off woman to add to the list!



"Welcome back you two! I'd like to hear your report." Tsunade sat in her chair, fingers steepled together and listening carefully.



Kakashi laid Dani on the futon in her office and said he'd start first. He went into the details, even describing the girls attackers and everything but the bet made it in his verbal report.



Genma had put Kite down when they first entered and was now giving his report. When down, the Hokage congratulated them on a job well done and ordered them to go and rest. She assured them the girls would be fine and under her protection until the client arrived.



Leaving the Hokage building, the two Jounin walked towards their favorite bar in desperate need of a drink. Both wanted to drown the memories of a certain pair of girls who'd set their blood on fire and issued a challenge to their very manhood. By tonight neither would feel or remember anything and fall into a drunken slumber. A drunken slumber sounded nice. They laughed and talked, their voices and forms eventually fading from sight and sound.





Note: I know the girls seem really pissy and combative right now but face it....if you were in their situation how would you react to men after being abandoned by your father? Besides...in the next two chapters they calm down quite a bit and aren't as full of man-hate towards Kakashi and Genma.
