We walk through the forest in silence saying nothing at all. Suddenly I see him grabbing my hand. "W-What are you doing Master Kabuto?" I ask.

"I'm holding your hand and since you're gonna be my wife soon you can stop calling me Master and call me Kabuto, love, my love, anything like that." He said casually.

I look down at the ground worry that I might make a disgusted face. I'm gonna marry this sadistic bastard. Wait! I still have that kunai hidden. What if I try to.....to....kill myself then I won't have to marry him or become his wife. Am I actually saying I would rather die than become his wife? What if he does make me happy? But he force me to do so many things and he never once protected me from one of Orochimaru's beatings. I love Choji and that's never gonna change. I'm sorry Choji and I'm sorry I have to hurt you for my selfish act. "What are you thinking dear?" I hear Kabuto say.

I flinch when he called me dear. I slowly reach for the kunai. "T-Thinking how much i love." I said.

"Love who?" Kabuto said with a wide grin.

At that moment I took out the kunai and slash his hand away from me. Blood came out as he scream holding his hand close to himself. "Do you want to die!" I hear him scream.

"Yes." I said pointing the kunai to my neck.

"Do you really think that's a wise idea. I could always go back and kill them all." He said.

I laugh as I stood there staring him straight in the eyes. "You think I haven't thought of that. Their backup are probably there already and I don't think you can handle that many ninjas and with that cut I gave you. It's pretty deep isn't it. I thought of everything and I know you won't make it or save me. I am prepare to take my own life just so I won't marry you." I finish.

I lay there crying as Mabel is gone but maybe we have a chance to save her. I just have to get up and track them down. I stood slowly and ignore all the pain I had. Then the backup finally came. "Get Sakura and medical ninjas to help Hinata and Kiba! Naruto, Neji, and Shino we shall follow Kabuto. He isn't that far." I said holding my aching side.

"Choji your too hurt we can search another time." Naruto said.

"No! you don't get it. If we don't save Mabel now she might already marry Kabuto and forced to do things she doesn't want!" I yell.

"What do you mean Choji?" Neji said.

"Mabel saved our lives by agreeing to marry Kabuto." Shikamaru said appearing out of no where. "She's so troublesome."

"Fine, Choji stay here with the rest." Naruto said.

"No way. I'm coming." I said.

"I'm coming too. It's too troublesome to lose her again." Shikamaru said.

"Fine, then let's go." Naruto said.

We headed out towards where Mabel and Kabuto headed with Kakashi's dog Pakkun tracking them. I swear to all the Gods Kabuto will pay if he did something to Mabel, I swear! I will get her back and everything will be back to normal. Mabel just hold on we're almost there. "Hold up." Neji said.

His Byakugan activated and looking at one place. "What do you see?" Shikamaru says.

"A woman with a kunai to her next and a man I think is Kabuto on his knees begging?" He said a little confuse.

"Then what are we waiting for let's go." Naruto said going towards them.

"Naruto wait we need a plan!" Neji said but was too late.

"Let's just go." I said.

They all nodded and went to the clearing and see Naruto standing there still. "Naruto what's wo-" I stop as I see Mabel with a kunai pointed to her neck and tears streaming down her cheeks.

Kabuto's on the ground in a begging manner just like what Neji saw. Then he look up at me and grew a big grin. "Choji stop her please! She's gonna kill herself and only you can stop her." i hear him say.

It was like he was insane which is odd considering he's always so calm and control. I look at Mabel and see her standing there staring at me with wide eyes. "Choji." She said.

I smile at her. "Mabel come home with me." I said handing out my hand.

She threw the kunai away from her and ran directly towards me giving me a warm embrace. "You're safe now." I said as she cried onto my neck.

"Give her to me now." Kabuto voice was heard.

I could feel her holding onto me tighter. "No." I said.

"We had a deal and since you control her I can just-"

"You made a deal with her not me." I said interrupting him.

"Let's go home." Naruto said.

We all headed back. I felt weak, tired, and just feel like hell. Why is it getting blurry though? Maybe I should just sleep for a little bit and close my eyes for a little.

Choji fell on the ground causing a thump. "Choji!" Mabel screamed in concern. She bend down next to him making sure he was alright.

"What a drag." Shikamaru said.

"Shika Choji's unconscious how can you say that." Mabel said in concern.

"Don't worry Mabel, he just has low chakra." Naruto said.

"He'll be fine once we get him back to the village." Neji said.

"That means I finally get to go home huh." Mabel said in disbelief.

"Choji and I are glad to have our best friend back home." Shikamaru said side hugging Mabel.

Mabel smiled as Shino and Neji picked up Choji and Mabel supporting Shikamaru all the way back to the village.

I sat on the bed side of Choji's watching him sleep peacefully. They told me he would be fine in 24 hours. The first time since I was little I come back to see nothings change. Neji told me I had to go to the Hokage but I refuse to leave Choji's side. After a lot of stubbornness and Shikamaru's help I was able to stay by his side. I mean I didn't even bother to change out of this awful outfit.

Suddenly the door open and there stood a lady with huge breast and blonde hair. There were also other people standing behind her but she block them so I didn't know who they were. "Are you Mabel?" The woman asked.

I look straight into her eyes. "Yes, my name is Mabel. I have no last name since I was orphaned." I said.

Suddenly she was pushed aside and a woman hugged me not giving me a chance to see who it was. "Mabel you're finally back home. You came back to us." I hug her back as I knew instantly this is Choji's mom.

Tear fell down my cheeks as the first woman who's been nice and let me call Oka-san is here hugging me. "O-Oka-san." I said in a faint whisper.

I feel a hand patting my shoulder and see Choza, Choji's dad. "I'm glad the boys were able to get you back." he said. "I'm sorry I couldn't save you Mabel." He said sadly with a guilty face.

"I don't blame you you one bit Choza. I'm actually happy that you found me if not they could of thought I betrayed the village." I said.

Oka-san finally let me go and gave me a good look. Her face scrunch up as she looked at my outfit. "Mabel why are you wearing those clothes?" She said.

"I was force to Oka-san." I said.

"Wait a second there?" The blonde woman said.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I'm the Hokage, Lady Tsunade." She said.

"Did Grandpa finally retired?" I asked

Everyone became quiet and I quickly put the pieces together. "He's gone isn't he?" I asked.

Everyone nodded. I felt sad that I couldn't see him one last time. "The Hokage had a file on you just in case you were ever found again. I just need to ask questions about you to see if you're really Mabel." The Hokage said.

"But she is my Mabel! She's my future daughter-in-law!" Oka-san said making me blush.

Choza laughed. "I can't believe after all these years you're still in love with Choji." He said patting my back and making me go even more red.

"I'm sorry Tedsa but I have to make sure." Lady Tsunade said.

"Can we do it here? I-I don't want to leave Choji." I said blushing even more.

"Are you sure?" She said.

I only nodded yes. "Where are you from?" She asked.

"The Secret Village of Food which no longer exist because of Orochimaru." I said.

She nodded, "What age did you start to live here?" She asked.

"6"

"What did you not like to do?" She asked quickly.

"Going to the Academy to become a ninja."

"Why did you always get in trouble for?"

"There's two answers for that. I would get in trouble in the Academy for not paying attention or doing anything and at the orphanage I was not aloud to cook so I did it either way." I said.

Lady Tsunade nodded once again. She narrowed her eyes. "What were your punishments?" She asked.

"Every time I would get caught cooking I would either not eat dinner and lunch or the whole day." I said.

I can hear Choza and Oka-san gasp considering food is something very important. "Is that why you were always so skinny and frail looking?" I hear a raspy voice behind me.

I gasp and quickly turn around. I see Choji awake sitting up on the bed, all I could do was tackle him in a hug. "Choji!" I screamed.

"Sorry for worrying you Mabel." He said.

Tears once again fell of my cheeks as I hug him tight not planning to let go.

"I know it's bad timing but I really want your cooking right now." He said making me giggle.

"She's actually Mabel. I'm glad your back and I will give you an apartment and all-"

"No need for that Lady Tsunade. She will be living in our home." Oka-san said interrupting the Hokage.

"Really?" I said looking at Oka-san while hugging Choji.

She smiled and nodded. I look at Choza and he also gave me an approved nod. "Okay I will stay with them then." I said smiling.

"Fine at lea-"

"Where is this Mabel I finally get to meet!" I hear a loud voice interrupting the Hokage once more.

Lady Tsunade had an irk mark and just left not wanting to deal with us anymore. The woman that came in screaming stared at me. I never seen her and don't know how she knows me. She suddenly comes running towards me with a fierce face then she hugs me making me even more confused. "It's so good to finally meet you." She says.

"Um......Who are you?" I said awkwardly.

She let's go and looks at me with a huge smile on her face. "My name is Yoshino. I'm Shikamaru's mom." She says.

"Mom you scared her. What a drag." I hear Shikamaru say walking in with some older guy that look like him.

"What you say?" She said in an angered voice.

"Nothing." He quickly said.

I giggle at how fast he replied. "I'm Shukaku, Shikamaru's dad. It's nice to finally meet you." His father said.

"It's nice to meet you. I've been wondering how Shikamaru's parents were?" I said smiling.

"You better not steal her away from me Yoshino." Oka-san said hugging me.

"I don't know she does seem like a perfect wife for my son." She said mischievously.

"Mom!" I hear both boys yell.

I blush hearing that both of these two woman want me to marry their sons even though I have already made my decision. I blushed even harder thinking of that. "Look she's blushing harder! That means she already chosen a husband!" Yoshino scream pointing at me.

"Who did you think of Mabel? It was Choji wasn't it?" Oka-san said.

"No! IT was Shikamaru wasn't it?" Yoshino yelled.

I stayed quiet as both boys were blushing too. Shikaku and Choza just laugh as they saw the commotion happen between us. I plead a helping look to both of them. Begging them to stop this. They finally stop probably feeling guilty for me. Shukaku went up to his wife and whisper something into her ear. She stop and scream, "You're right!" Then ran off taking Shikamaru with her.

"What a troublesome woman." He said.

"So that's where he got it from." I said.

"Well I'll see you guys some other time. It was great meeting you Mabel." Shikaku said.

"Likewise." I said.

Then he left and I was back alone with the Akimichi's. I smile knowing I will get use to this at some point. "We'll be back. We're gonna go buy you new clothes." Oka-san said standing up and heading towards the door with Choza.

"You guys be safe now, bye." Choza said leaving.

Choji and I had a huge blush knowing what he meant. I look at Choji and see him smiling. I grab his hand and squeezed it. "I'm home." I said.

"Welcome back." Was all he said.
