Sakura's POV -
Ok, I'm a little jittery.
Scratch that, I'm as jumpy as hell.
Who wouldn't be? I mean, come on, I'm fighting a S-Rank criminal. Think that's bad? Yeah, well he's even in Akatsuki. And I'm sure Akatsuki isn't all that merciful to 16-year-old 'little girls'...especially if that said little girl has pink hair.
"But Kaka-sensei! We can't leave them here alone to fight this bastard! We have to stay and fight." Naruto threw his hands in the air, clearly showing his frustration.
"Go save Garra, Naruto. I'm not the same little girl as I was before! I"ll kick his ass, and then your's if you don't get out of here and save the Kazekage!"
I was furious. Not so much at him for indirectly calling me weak in a sense. No, more so at his stubbornness. "Garra's not just your friend, Naruto, he's your brother. You can't leave him now."
"But Sakura-chan! You're my sister! I can't just let you stay here and get killed!"
Turning to face him, I only replied, "Go, Naruto."
Finally seeing to seriousness in my voice and the determination in my eyes, he nodded and gave me a hug. "Be safe," were his last words before he and Kakashi-sensei left to beat Deidara and save our brother.
Lady Chiyo and I stood watching their silhouettes fading into the horizon, before we finally turned to face our opponent.
Sasori's POV -
Normally, I would have been seething in fury for having to wait this long. But, for some strange reason, it felt like something inside me told me to wait it out. Trusting my instint, I waited until my gradmother and the little girl, as I dubbed her because of her girlish looks, turned around to face me while I was still in my puppet Hirako. The little girl stepped up.
"Well then, let's begin." She finished her sentence with a snap from her gloves.
"When ever you're ready, little girl."
AN- Hope you like it! This is for wolf of secrets!
