The SandTrap
Chapter 1: The SandTrap
Flashback:
"O.k. Now that everyone is here, you may choose a partner".
Sakura wasted no time. She picked Sasuke. He agreed.
There was an angry girl staring at Sasuke, and Sakura.
" Now that you all, cough have your partners, proceed to the bus.
Sakura was so happy Sasuke was her partner, and that she got to him before Ino could.
End flashback.
The bus stopped, and everyone got off the bus.
Ino had found who she was looking for.
"Sakura "! said Ino.
Sakura turned around.
" What"? she said.
then Ino started babbling about Sakura and Sasuke, and saying mean things about Sakura.
So Sakura turned around.
Her and Sasuke just walked away. Sakura took his hand and was kinda of squeezing it. Boy did Ino make her mad!
Sasuke just held her hand in return. He knows how much she hates Ino.
Ino finnaly stopped when they were inside, and turned, and walked the other way.
Sakura and Sasuke arrived at the room they would be staying in. "13".
The room looked like it had one bed! Then on closer inspection, it turned out it was to twin beds that had enough space inbetween to fit about one person. There was also an end table with two draws, and a lamp that sat on top and in the middle of the table.
There was also an armoire in the center, of the back, of the room, and a bathroom to the right.
They put their suitecases on their beds.
An alarm sounded and they ran outside.
It was dark out, and on a lit platform in the center of the small, sandy feild outside the dorms,was a woman.
She had medium length, green hair. She wore her band on her head, and two tuffs of hair came over the band. It looked like she was trying to grow out her bangs.
" Welcome jounier ninja". said the woman."You are all here for a tournament to see who out of you is the best."
" You all have partners, and will be expected to work as such. Now, go back to the dorms, and when I make the announcement you are to come outside. Quickly. You will then take a red flag from the ground, and run along that path."
The competetors then went inside to wait for the announcment.
Sakura was sitting on her bed when a man ran in the room.
" The announcment has been made"!
Sakura ran out of her room. She had to find Sasuke.
He was in the main room of the dorm house,
" Sasuke, come quick! The announcement"!
They both ran outside.
There were only three flags left!
They ran to the one no one was after.
They grabed it, and ran to path.
As they were both holding the flag and running.
They got to the end, and a few feet infront of them was a door with a light inside. They ran into it.
As they ran in they sheilded their eyes from the light.
In a little while their eyes ajusted, and they could see.
They were in what looked like to them a cafeteria.
There were picnic table-like tables.
Sakura spotted Naruto.
"Naruto "!
Her and Sasuke sat down.
" Hey guys, glad you made it"! said Naruto.
" Hello Hinata".
" Hi Sakura,Sasuke. Glad you guys made it".
"Thanks". said Sakura
Sasuke nodded.
A door opened, and the Green haired woman entered the room.
"Hello, and Congradulations! I'm glad to see some familiar faces.
You have all just passed round 1. It may not seem like it was that important, but it was.
I was a test to see how alert, and prepared you are.
Next to you is your sensei for this tournament..."
Sakura looked next to her and saw... Kakashi!
She started to get up, but he held up a finger, signaling her to wait.
She sat back down.
..."..He or She will be preparing you for everyday's challange.
They will now walk you back to the dorms.
Goodnight, and goodluck"!
"Kakashi-sensei"! said Sakura, and jumped up and hugged him.
" Hello Sakura". said Kakashi.
" I'm so glad we got you as our sensei"! said said while stepping back.
" Hello Sasuke." said Kakashi,he smiled, and ruffeled Sasuke's hair.
" Hello". said Sasuke.
" So you two are a pair huh"? said Kakashi.
" Yep"! said Sakura.
" Let's go". said Kakashi.
They all left the building, and walked out into the night air,
They walked along the path, and arrived back at the dorms.
"I'll meet you two in the main area of the dorms at 11 o'clock". said Kakashi.
" But you are always late"! said Sakura.
" Don't worry, I'll be their on time. I have to be or I get fired from this mission".
" See you tomorrow". said Sasuke.
" Bye". said Kakashi.
Sasuke, and Sakura went into the dorms building.
They entered their room.
"Sasuke"!... said Sakura.
She ran over to where he was, and gave him a hug.
He just put his hands loosely around her waist.
...I'm so glad we made it"! said Sakura.
"And don't worry even though you almost missed it, I still love you"! she said, went back to her bed.
Even though he was used to Sakura outbursts, this one shocked him a little bit.
"Sasuke, would you turn around? I want to get into my pajamas". Sakura said
He turned around.
"What do you think"! she said.
He turned around, and looked at her.
She was wearing a pink Top with green, and pinked striped shorts.
" They are my sister's. I didn't have any decent p.j's to take with me so she let me borrow her's".
Then she crawled into her bed.
(Sasuke also got into his)
" Good night Sasuke".
" Goodnight Sakura".
Sakura shut off the lights.
In the middle of the night Sasuke woke up. He had a strange feeling.
He looking straight ahead...
There was a figure!
" Hello Sasuke". said Itachi.
" Should I kill you now. Or should I take this girl hostage, and tortue you even more"...
Sasuke went over by Sakura.
" You won't be able to touch her". said Sasuke
" Sasuke? What's going on"? said Sakura
"Sakura go back to sleep".
She opened her eyes, and saw the figure.
"Sasuke who's that"? said Sakura with fear in her voice.
" No one just don't move"...
He reached for the button on the end table. If he pressed it.the adults would come soon.
..."Stay still Sakura".
Then the older ninjas came in , and turned on the lights.
They ran for Itachi, but he escaped in a cloud of smoke.
"You kids o.k "? said one of the ninja.
" Yes we are fine". said Sasuke.
" We will station someone outside your door incase you need anything". said the ninja
" Thank you".said Sasuke.
The ninjas left the room.
"Sasuke, what just happened"? said Sakura.
" That was my...that was Itachi my arch rival. I'va sworn to kill him".
" What was he doing here"? said Sakura.
" I don't know, but he'll be back. Sakura promise me something".
" What"?
"That if he ever comes back that you will run away. You will get as far away as possible. I don't want you getting hurt because of me".
" Sasuke". Sakura kneeled on her bed, and put her hands on his hands, that were grasping the bed. She stared into his eyes.
" Sasuke. I love you, I would never leave you".
That's when it happended. He melted. He fell head over heels. He fell for her. Hard.
No one one had ever said that they loved him before, at least,not with that intensity. She stared right through him. He would never let her go.
Sakura finished, and saw something.
His eyes, they softened, for one second, they softened. Then, they turned hard again, back to normal.
" Sasuke. would you stay here till I fall asleep"? asked Sakura.
" Sure". He said.
He grabbed the pillow off his bed, and put it behind his back, as to soften leaning against the end table.
He shut the light.
Sakura took his hand, and held it in hers, and layed down.
About 10 minutes later Sasuke put his other hand over her eyes, and cheek to make sure she was asleep.
Then he slipped his hand out of hers, put his pillow on the ground, and layed down.
He smiled.
He camped out there for the rest of the night.
