16...16 the thought repeated in my head as I looked upon the monstrosities with gleaming white masks that stood before me as well as the other shinobi in the clearing.
I couldn't shake it; the thoughts, the feelings. I knew exactly what I should have done but I did nothing, absolutely nothing. My body refused to budge, despite Naruto's desperate calls and my brain screaming at my body to move.
I stood stock still.
I heard hurried foot steps form Naruto's direction as he exclaimed my name, once more telling me to move just before pain exploded to life, rushing through my body like shock waves. The creature had knocked me into the air using the back side of it's hand to shove into my entire left side. I felt my shoulder bone and parts of my collar bone shatter. I also felt my rib bones crack.
I was once more thrown into the air. But this time someone caught me. A young looking boy about my age his eyes were wide and he looked at me with admiration as well as look that said are-you-insane?
I smiled before coughing up blood.
"thanks"
My body collided with the ground, hard. The pain further increased. Blood escaped my barely parted lips.
There wasn't anyone there to catch me. Not this time. Not ever again.
"SAKURA!!" Naruto's voice shattered the very air around me.
I willed my body to move.
Nothing.
It hurt the pain was unceasing, but still I tried to stand. Slowly I had made it to my hands and knees. I was about to collapse but once more the same boy was beside me, helping me to my feet.
This time I laughed for a reason, if there was one, that I had yet to find.
"thanks"
I once more struggled to get to my feet. I made it an inch off the ground before collapsing once more.
No one would be there to help me to my feet. Not now. Not ever.
The rest of the shinobi watched, stock still as I had been before. But they had a look of horror written all over there faces. Some stared at me, some at the thing that had hit me as well as the rest of the things while some looked back and forth. But still they did nothing.
"Sakura" my name had escaped the lips of the last person that I would have ever thought would care. His gaze was fixed on me just like Naruto's, just like Kakashi's, just like the spirit that had struck me down and just like the rest of the spirits.
"W-what is that thing?" it was a females voice. The voice was shaky indicating the owner of the voice was shaken up
"A hollow" it wasn't supposed to be spoken aloud, only thought but none the less the answer was spoken and all the attention was now surely located on me.
"A what?" the same female voice asked
"Hollow" I answered. Begrudgingly spiting out the metallic liquid that had made it's way up my throat.
"What's that?" a male voice, the smaller one of the two that had been with him at the time we had run into each other.
I sat on my legs not having the strength to will my somewhat bloody body to do anymore "Pluses that never found their way or human souls that were devoured by one or more hollows" I answered at the statement the female took a step back gasping, some gaped others gave no reaction.
"Well, aren't you well educated Death God" the hollow that had struck me down stated
"It's Shinigami, get the name right" I countered in with a cold voice and stare. My icy voice had managed to make Naruto, Kakashi and him look my way with a startled expressions.
My newest story, yes it's also a bleach naruto x-over, but it's a SasuSaku instead of an ItaSaku. So what do you think? Should I bother to continue?
