'Hn'

A figure leaned on nothing but empty space as he chuckle at the joy he felt going through his veins. Blood red eyes that glowed in the darkness shown amusement as his new host messing with the team who dare touch-

The orbs of red disappear for second as he blinked as he suddenly felt pressure. It's funny how in the short few minutes of being awake ,he felt every touch ,saw the actions, smell the scents and feel the emotions this dark ducktail hair boy could.

He sniffed the air around him. Chills ran down his spine

'Cherry blossom...'

The Beast ran his tongue over his blue lips then he chuckled once more.

"This I could get used too." The Beast said to himself .

Slowly he went back to a deep slumber with one last look at the crying pink-haired ,cherry smelling ,girl.

'Till I see you again ,I will listen and wait.'

.

.

" Ssttoooppppp!"

Sasuke stiffen as a pair of feminine arms wrap around his waist in which making him stop his assault on the team. He whipped his half cover curse mark face to see a bruised tear face of his teammate ,Sakura.

He just stared at her with his sharingan activated as she whimpered a cry.

"Please stop.." It was a simple plea of mercy in Sasuke mind . Why should he let go this disgrace of a team that torture for the fun of it ? It not like he was doing the sam-

Sasuke's head was down as another whimper was heard. Sasuke felt all the rage and blood lust drain to nothing as the curse marks receded to its rightful place.

He collpased as well as Saukra. He felt a hand on his back as he took a deep breathe after another. He heard a gruff voice speak .

"Just take our heaven scroll( I forgot which scroll they need or have.).We are out matched." The mummy looking sound nin said as he set the scroll down. Sasuke watched as he picked up his two teammates .

As he walked out of the clearing , Sasuke semi-flinch as he saw the damage done on Zaku. His arms swinged limply with no attachment other than flesh to the shoulder.

After they had left ,Sasuke was knock out of his daze with weight being added to his shoulder. He turn to see Sakura , who had fainted ,with her against his shoulder blade.

He shifted to his left and let Sakura fall into his arms .

After a second in making sure she was secured ,he got up and held Sakura bridely style. He walked over to the over hang that he was at before. He set her and he used his emptied pouch as a pillow.

"Sasuke ."

Said boy turn around to see Neji with Tenten picking up Rock Lee with an arm over her shoulder.

Neji stood just outside the overhang cave ,pearl eyes narrowed on Sasuke's form.

"What was that?" It was more of a demand than a question.

Sasuke just look at him then back down to his female teammate. Sasuke wanted to snarl at the fact at what he was seeing . Now that her muscles have relax ,some of the cuts started to leak bits of blood.

Sasuke turn back to Neji, Onyx meeting Pearl, Two clans, Both cursed.

Sasuke finally spoke " I don't know" Grimly saying it.

Sasuke then just turn his attention back to Sakura . The sweet heart of a team of people with a past that she had mend back together , alittle bit of sunshine. The rage he felt as he saw Sakura's beaten form with the Sound team just standing there.

Neji just sigh as he turn and pick the scroll that was place on the ground. He then went over to Naruto ,who was snoring as if he wasn't at a Exam, and pick up his foot then heading to the cave.

Neji dragging Naruto to the cave made Tenten raise a brow but soon she followed over. Once they were under ,Neji dropped Naruto and walked over to where Sasuke sat and clear his throat.

Sasuke look behind him again now just getting annoyed. Neji on the other hand was just looking at him and with a outstretched hand with the scroll.

Sasuke raised a brow at the fact that Neji was kind of being generous . Didn't they need a scroll too?

Now Neji was getting irritated by the boys questioning looks and took a step forward, now the scroll was no more than a foot away from the Uchiha's face.

"Take it we have our own scrolls." Neji finally said has the silence was going on for to long. Sasuke nodded and took the scroll setting it on the other side of the pinked-hair girl. He look back at the Hyuga and notice he wasn't leaving with his team .

"We are staying till Lee wakes up." Neji and Sasuke went back to watching their teams. Neji nodded to Tenten ,who was already setting Lee down.

Then Neji heard a Thud. He look back at the now passed out Sasuke ,who had accidentally laid his arm over Sakura and had pull her over.

Neji pinch his nose and grabbed the hand that was over Sakura's ribcage . Sakura let out a light whimper as Neji brush against her. Sasuke snarl ,which surprise the genis , and he pull his hand back a roll over.

Neji growled in annoying actions. He went to the entrance of the cave mumble something Tenten barley heard.

" I'll keep first watch."

Sakura whimpered through out the night that followed, the beast would listen and wait.
