Kanoi: I come bearing another multi-chapter Naruto fic, and this time it is yuri.

Sasuke: Why don't you just start making out with girls and just get it over with already.

Kanoi: smiles sweetly at Sasuke And why don't you just get that stick out of your ass and replace it with Naruto's dick, so that maybe you'll be happy for once.

Naruto: But Kanoi, Sasuke isn't the uke.

Kanoi & Sasuke: stare at Naruto in disappointment

Sasuke: That's why.

Kanoi: I see…

Naruto: What!?

Kanoi: ANYWAY! The idea for this fic came about a LONG time ago. It was inspired by an amv, but I really can't remember which one. Also, I sent this to my betas ages ago, but I never got it back from any of them. If there are any mistakes, I'm terribly sorry. I tried my best to fix them. Anyway, now for the disclaimer.

Sasuke: Kanoi does not own Naruto. Don't sue her.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

More than anything right now, I want to feel her hand in mine. She's so far away right now. I hate to admit it, but I'm actually scared… but so is she. I don't care what they say! She's the only one that matters!

"Archangel Ino! Archangel Sakura!" the voice of God is booming above us. So we're really so evil that the Lord himself is our judge. I just don't understand!

"The two of you have been charged of the third deadly sin- Lust. How do you plead?"

"Not guilty!" I shout with assurance, and I know Sakura has done the same.

"Not guilty?" the strong voice asks in disbelief. "There is plenty of evidence against you. Lying will only give you more trouble."

"We're not lying!" Sakura yells, and I can feel her irritation… Or maybe it's mine…

"More lies! Watch what you say, Archangel Sakura." It's a warning.

"It's not lust! It's love!" Sakura is shouting now, and for the first time I am able to bring myself to look at her face. I can honestly say I have never seen her look so sure, so beautiful.

"Love! More lies! There can be no such feeling between anything other than a man and a woman!" someone yells. For the first time I become aware of the Seraphs among us.

"That's not true!" Sakura cries out desperately.

"Silence!" the Lord's voice booms.

I can't help flinching. Unlike Sakura, I'm far too terrified to speak.

"I feel I must warn you that you are also under suspicion of helping the fugitive Seraph Naruto," the Lord warns us, and I feel anger spreading throughout my body.

"Do we not get the chance to defend ourselves?" Sakura questions, determination glinting in her eyes.

Her eyes have always been my personal favorite of her features. If you know Sakura's eyes, you know all of Sakura.

She continues, "My Lord, I thought you were supposed to be fair and just."

The Seraph from before gets in front of Sakura, too close for my tastes, and yells, "Show some respect, Heretic!"

My feathers ruffle. My fists clench.

Right as I'm about to attack the smug Seraph, God yells, "That is enough!"

The Seraph backs away. My muscles slowly relax, and my wings gradually unruffled.

"She is right," God continues. "Please, my Angels, tell us your side of the story."

Before Sakura can open her mouth, I step forward and announce, "I wish to tell the story!"

Sakura looks at me, and for the first time ever I can't tell what her eyes are saying. It makes me feel cold and empty. Suddenly, as I look around, I realize everyone's eyes are on me.

"Please, go on," the disembodied voice of the Lord commands.

No matter how pleasant or polite he sounds, it's always commands.

Kanoi: Yes, yes. I am well aware that this chapter was incredibly short, but it's more of a prologue. The following chapters should be longer.
