Switch Blade Mind Shaft

+++++ Prologue : Switch Blade +++++++

***** Little Sakura's pov*******

"AHHHHHHHHHH" I screamed as I fell down a small cliff. As I tumbled down the cliff dirt flew in my face and twigs tangled in my hair. I stopped rolling and laid limp until I heard dogs barking and men yelling. I scrambled to my feet and took off running through the trees tripping every once and a while over out stretched tree roots. I saw light of an exit. I ran faster. I tripped and clumsily stumbled out of the forest into a small clearing. It was a beautiful clearing with luscious green grass and beautiful flowers. In the middle of the clearing was a pile of dirt that was shaped into a mind shaft with a large switch blade stuck to the wall. Sitting in a chair outside of the shaft was a man in shaggy clothes. He had long tangled hair with and old ripped hat. A small growl came from next to the house. I looked over to see as small black wolf. The wolf had beautiful blue eyes. He glared at me. I heard yelling and barking and I turned around franticly looking for the area where it came from. I turned back and took off running. A strong arm wrapped around my waist holding me back. I struggled.

"Let me go… no let go. Don't let them get me I didn't do it" I cried

"Whoa calm down little lady" the man said. I struggled a little more. He set me down and kneeled in front of me "Now breath" I took a breath "good now tell me what is going on. Who is after you? Why are you running from them?" He asked. My eyes darted to movement by the door. The wolf was moving toward me, his eyes still boring into mine. He walked up to my hand that was gripping the chair handle and smelt it. "Little lady?" my eyes snapped back to the man. I hesitated and looked franticly once more into the forest.

"II ddon't kknow wwhat ii did. Tthere wwas tthis ggirl wwho ttook mmy ddiary aand wwouldn't ggive iit bback. Ii ssnatched iit bback aand hhe ssaw mme ddo tthat aand started yyelling. Ii ddon't llike bbeing yyelled aat sso Ii rrran." Hot tears ran down my face. I closed my eyes and slowly breathed.

"Who accused you?" The man asked.

"II ddon't kknow. Hhis sshirt ssaid fforest rranger. Ii ddon't kknow wwhat tthat mmeans." I studdered. More yelling came from the forest but it was closer. The man's eyes shot to the wolf, who was still looking at me.

"Fang" The wolves eyes snapped to the man "Get in there. Don't come out. Guard it with your life." The wolf darted off and into the shaft. The man not far behind. I heard a thump of something closing and the man was back. He stood in front of me and I looked up. I got out of the chair and stood looking out at the forest. I heard a gunshot and the man fell. I screamed and saw a man in camo standing at the clearing soon to be joined by many more, but I didn't stay to find out. I turned accidently closing the door to the shaft and took off as the door clicked shut telling me it was locked. I ran and ran until I tripped just as a gunshot sounded and the bullet hit right next to my arm making a small explosion of dirt. I dragged myself and hid in a bush to where they couldn't find me.

"I saw her over here" one said.

"Hey whats in here" a different man said knocking on the door to the shaft.

" I don't know and I don't care. Our priority is the girl."

"Yeah Yeah I know" when they slowly moved closer I stopped my breathing and waited.

"Ugh I can't find her. I hate looking for small kids they can always hide to easily." The fourth man grumbled.

"oh shut up and keep looking."

"yeah whatever. I don't care about the girl. She didn't do anything. Why are we chasing her anyway?"

" she stole that girl's diary and her parents reported her missing four days ago"

"oh… hey isn't the girl's name Sakura Haruno?"

"yeah Danna Haruno's Daughter"

"Then she didn't steal the diary."

"yeah and what makes you think that."

"The name Sakura Haruno was on the front of the diary."

"ugh we will look when we get back. Lets go."

"yeah what ever"

"ALRIGHT EVERYONE LETS GO" all but one man left. The man that defended me remained.

"I know your close Sakura" He paused "We won't charge you. I know it was your diary" Pause " your mother and father are freaking out…. Please just go home….. I will be sure my self no one touches you ok Sakura" I stayed quiet as he walked away. When he was gone I took off running only to be caught in another set of strong arms. I struggled and attempted to scream but a hand went over my mouth.

"Shh calm down Sakura it's me Sasori your brother." I stopped struggling, twisted in his grip and wrapped my arms around his neck hugging him hard. " Mom and dad are so worried….lets go home."

I hesitated.

"ok" I said snuggling into the warmth of my brother's body heat. He started walking home.

********* At home********

My brother put me down and opened the door.

"MOM DAD I FOUND HER" Sasori yelled. I heard frantic foot steps stumbling down the stairs. My mom appeared at the bottom of the stair case. Her eyes widened and tears welled up in her eyes. She screamed in a sobbing manner and ran at me scooping me up and hugging me tightly. She sobbed in my shoulder and I heard more steps. I looked up to see dad standing on the last step with tears streaming down his cheeks. My dad was the reason I had left four days ago. My dad had always yelled at me but not as bad as the one day. He had been so mad he was throwing stuff and yelling at me and mom. I said one thing and he slapped me. I teared up and left. That's when I was blamed for stealing my own diary. Those men had been chasing me for three days. I watched dad carefully to make sure the tears where real. My mom let go of me and I slowly walked up to dad.

"Sakura I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to slap you. I had a hard day and I have regretted it from the minute I couldn't find you. I was going to apologize but your where gone. I don't hate you. I love you and I always will. You're my daughter and I was stupid…. Will….you….forgive me…..Sakura?" He asked in a worried voice. I watched him for any signs of lieing. My straight face turned into a smile and I jumped into his arms.

"Sakura darling. Sasori dear….i have news." Mom said. I turned and looked at my mother.

"yes" Sasori and I said.

"your father got transferred. We are moving." My jaw dropped.
