Prologue
"I can't do it...I can't end her life!" Naruto screams out to the gaping black hole above him. He was sent down because Naruto's friends wanted to give him the respect he rightfully deserved and to end the life of his former teammate. Naruto watches Sakura, limped and leaning against the wall. "She's no longer Sakura! The demon took over her." Neji calls out and you could hear silent cries from the group above him. All of the orginal 11 know Sakura as a true friend. They didn't like it that it had to end this way, but they couldn't allow that thing to control Sakura any longer.
The bright, healthy young girl with beautiful pink hair turned into a shell of her former self. Her face is dry and pale. Her hair is missing at parts and the whiteness of her eyes is covered with black. Naruto had to save her. He couldn't allow her to die like this.
"Sakura!" he walks up, dragging the limp body. He could sense her chakra within her still beating. "Sakura wake up!" he places her on the smoothest part of the land he could find. He spreads out her hands and legs, trying to air her down. "Sakura stop joking! Sakura this isn't funny!" the voices and yells above Naruto illuminated into nothing. He's desperately trying to revive Sakura and he could only do it the way he only knows how.
He has to give her love. He has to give his love.
He leans forward and gently places his lips against hers. The memories of them being together. The adventures they had and the trouble they endured. They did it together. He can't allow her to die. He remembered loving her since he was small, thinking she was the most beautiful thing in the world. He remembered fighting for her. He would always try to downplay Sasuke just so he could get any lead he could grab.
The tears begins to falls, clenching her hand tightly. He only needs to feel a certain strength from her and that will be all. He just needs to know that somewhere inside her. She's alive!
That's when Sakura's chest begins to glow and a small orb flies off into the wind. Naruto stands up, looking at it. His attentions is on the orb and not the body because he knows that the orb is Sakura. "Sakura!" he calls out, but the orb flies in the wind and it wasn't turning back. It didn't say goodbye. It just got up and left.
"Sakura..." Naruto quietly says to himself and when the orb disappeared, Sasuke jumps down into the hole where Naruto's at.
"Where is she...Naruto?" he said darkly, taking out his knife as he walks to the body that the orb left. They both looks at it as it stands up and stares at them. There's no light in her eyes, but her looks improved. It looked like she returned to her normal self, but both Naruto and Sasuke knew it wasn't her.
"I'm going to kill her before she causes more pain to herself." Sasuke walks fastly to Sakura location, ready to strike the defenseless shell, but then Naruto suddenly felt his body move on it's own and his hand guides to Sasuke's chest, stopping him from moving.
"Naruto...you do know that you can't stop me. C'mon, you're causing her more pain then you have to. Let's just end this once and for al-" he gets cut off as Naruto screams out the words he doesn't mean to say. It was like somebody took over him, "RASENGAN!" he blast Sasuke as his body hits the concrete wall. There were concerned voices above the hole and the rest of the group soon jump down.
Ino was the first one in and she quickly gasps, seeing Sasuke crushed against the wall. Sasuke's really strong and something like that wouldn't have hurt him, but he didn't expect it. He didn't know that Naruto's power of being oblivous to everything around him was this strong.
"You idiot..." Sasuke said, coughing out blood. "Do you want to remember her like that?! I thought we had an agreement last night. Sakura has to die!" Sasuke then forces himself to stand up, but quickly struggles as he feels a sharp pain on his back. Naruto didn't hold back at all, but the thing is...
It wasn't Naruto...
"Sasuke!" Naruto pleaded, looking at all the worried eyes staring at him, "You got to believe me...I can't control my body!" He looks at everyone, but no one looked at him. They were avoiding his gaze and Naruto tried to explain himself, but Shikamaru stopped him with a wave of his hand. It looked like he made up his mind.
"I believe you Naruto, but you know we have to kill Sakura now, right? She's no longer Sakura...you know this...right?" he walks slowly to Sakura, readying himself to grab her, but the feeling comes back to Naruto and he no longer had control. He swiftly raises his hands to the air and screams out.
"RASENGAN!" the hole on the roof is blasted and as the rocks fall on the ground, the sun came rushing in. Naruto didn't even know why he did, but he could see what he's body was thinking. This stopped Shikamaru from casting his shadows on the two ninja's.
"Naruto stop!" Hinata calls out and she tries to run to him, but Naruto's body turns to a defensive mode before she could embrace him. She gets grab from Neji before Naruto could hit her away and she looks at Naruto for the very first time...with fear.
"DAMMIT NARUTO!" Sasuke yelled out and forces himself to stand up again, but his back is killing him and he falls to the ground. Ino then supports him and he finally stands up, "How long are you going to keep making this harder for us...Naruto?" Sasuke grunts, trying to mask his pain with anger. "We agreed to kill Sakura and here you are defending her. At least tell me one thing..." Sasuke looks at him with his Sharingan, "Do you tend to make Sakura suffer for your worldly thoughts?"
Naruto finally gets control of his body and tries desperately to explain, "I'm telling you Sasuke! I can't control my body. It's controlling itself on it's own!" He didn't expect anyone to believe him, but the last person he expected to believe him was Shikamaru. Shikamaru folds his sleeves up and looked irritated, "He's right Sasuke...I didn't do my shadow jutsu for nothing. I knew Naruto wouldn't know anything about it because he's not concentrating. There was a zero amount of chance for him to recognize my actions before it's too late, but he managed to outsmart me before I even started. I'm absolutely sure Naruto's telling the truth."
It was deadly silence after that. If Naruto's not able to control his abilities, but his body is still moving at top shape, no more than it usually does. Then this could mean trouble. It's a showdown between Naruto and the original 11, but before anybody could do a thing. Before more blood could be shed. The girl who everyone was concerned about only moments before this whole thing started, moves to Naruto's side.
"Naruto..." Sakura said softly in his ears. It wasn't like the light had disappear anymore. It really did sound like Sakura and Naruto turns his head to his side. "Sakura!" he calls out, but when he takes a closer look. It wasn't Sakura. The body of Sakura...this is the body of Sakura...but it's not Sakura...
"Who are you..." Naruto said, finally defeated.
"It's the demon!" Shikamaru calls out and the rest of them jump back a feet or two, ready for combat. The body doesn't move though. It continues to stare at Naruto. "This can't be the demon..." Sasuke called out. "She would've attacked us by now. She would've at least killed Naruto..."
"Hey..." Naruto said, looking a bit angry at that remark. He's not too happy with Sasuke wanting him dead right now, but he couldn't blame his logic. It's the truth, if the demon was still in Sakura then it would've struck him by now, but the green misty eyes stare at him without any thought. It was like watching a mindless idiot watch you from a distant. It was awkward most definitely, but somewhat cute.
She then grabs Naruto by her shoulders and brings his face close to her's. "Sakura-chan...?" Naruto tries to snap her out of it. He knows that it isn't the real Sakura but she doesn't tend to do any harm. Sakura looks at his face and observes for some time until she leans it and kiss him. The group gasp, surprised, but Sakura on the other hand just smiles as their lips finally part.
"Why do I love you?~"
I know there's a lot that you're wondering right now, but don't fear. This is just a prologue to get you interested. I might continue starting off here, but everything will be explained in the next chapter.
So please...R&R
