Normal POV
Sasuke and Sakura were running to where they were going to meet their friends. They rounded the corner of an old mansion; supposedly it was haunted. All of their friends looked their way as Sasuke and Sakura slowed to a hault, catching their breath.
"S-so, what's...the important 'notice', Ino-pig?" Sakura asked, panting. Ino smirked, then pointed towards the mansion that they stood in front of behind a gate.Sakura looked at her best friend, "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND, INO-PIG?!?" Sakura screamed.
Ino nodded, "Yep, something like that," She looked at everyone else. "Come on guys! We're going to figure out this mystery! Your coming too, right Sasuke-kun??" Ino latched onto him.
He pushed her off, "Hn." He folded his arms. Sakura rolled her eyes when Ino sighed, hearts evident in her eyes. Sakura had finally learned to lay off, and her and Sasuke had become what seemed as close friends. Sakura started to walk away, that is, until Sasuke pulled her back, "And where do you think your going, Sakura?" Sasuke smirked at her reaction when she stiffened at his low voice.
"Uhh...uhh...to get some milk at the store! Yeah, that's it! My mom asked me to get her some milk at the store for her! Then I have to make lunch and dinner tomorrow, so I have a lot to do-Whatever, scardy cat." Sasuke turned from her and walked towards the mansion with the rest of the group.
"H-hey! Get back here you guys," They ignored her and continued through the mansion door. "Guys!!" ...She was alone. Sakura was turning to leave but a blood-curtling scream cut through the night, causing her to stop in her tracks. It was Ino's. She turned back to the dark, abandoned mansion. Sakura gulped, "T-that was Ino's scream...She probably saw a spider or someth-AGH!!-ing!" Sasuke's yell was heard throughout the night as it cut her and her guard off. Okay, something was seriously wrong. Sasuke yelling?!? Sakura swallowed her fear and walked to the door. She knocked a couple tims, but no one answered. Sakura was about to open the door, but it opened itself as if inviting her to step in. Sakura cautiously stepped into the dimly lit house. She screamed when the door closed behind her. By itself. 'Okay, this is already becoming weird!' She thought as she searched for her friends. "Ino? Naruto? Neji? Sasuke??" No one answered her calls. Sakura took out her cell phone. She sighed, "Dead." Sakura searched for hours, and she couldn't find her friends! Especially in the the dark! "Come on, where's a light switch when you need one," Sakura's hand rested on what felt like a switch of some sort. "Cha! Never underestimate Sakura Haruno of the Lef-CRACK!-village??" The thing she hand in her hand snapped downwards, and she screamed as she fell through a trap door in the floor below her. Sakura opened her eyes, sat up, rubbed her head and groaned, "That's the last time I put my hand on a unanimous object unless I know what it is!!" Sakura stood, and all of the lights immideatly turned on. Sakura stared at the room before her. There was a table with a glass ball on it, and the room was in an octogontal kind've shape. Sakura walked towards the table, curiously interested at the blue fog in the orb. She sat down, and the glass ball cleared to form a head. A woman looked at Sakura with gleaming brown-hazel eyes.
She gasped at Sakura, then smirked, "Well, well, Ms. Sakura Haruno I presume," Sakura nodded. "Glad to meet you, I'm Tsunda. I use to be a fortune-teller until he came and trapped me in here!" Sakura tapped the galss orb. Tsunda growled, "Knock it off! My orb is not something to mess with," Sakura withdrew her hand. "Now, I suppose your here to find your friends?" Sakura nodded again. Tsunda disappeared for a moment, and a picture appeared before her in the glass orb. Sakura watched is horror:
"You'll never get away with it, Thorn! Sakura will come and kick your ass!" It was Naruto.
"Y-yeah! N-Naruto-kun i-i-is right!" Hinata yelled. It was very suprising, even from someone as shy as her.
"Your going to regret this, Thorn." Neji growled. They were all chained to a limestone wall.
A figure stood infront of them, "Hmmm...I haven't gone by Thorn in ages. My new name is Orochimaru!"
A blanket of mist covered the orb again, completely blocking out Sakura's veiw of anything else. Sakura gasped and ran out of the trap door. She tried to open a door blocking her path, but it wouldn't open. She tried to bust it down, and was immideatly shocked until it felt like lightning going through her veins. Sakura pulled away from the force-feild. She turned from the door, panting heavily, and collapsed to the ground. She clutched the carpet below her, "I'm a weakling...I can't do anything for myself...and even my friends! They're probably being tortured to death now, and all I can do is sit here! Well not this time, this time," Sakura stood, and closed her eyes. "This time, you can all watch me from the background!" She turned back to the door, and stood stalk still as a ghost flew right through her. It grasped her arms, holding them behind her back, and she struggled to get free as more ghosts came out of the wall by the door where it supposedly came from. Sakura screamed in anger, and immideatly the ghosts flew for cover, but only got destroyed by Sakura in the process. When she opened her eyes, the ghosts were gone and everything stood still as time slowed down. Tsunda's orb came flying out of no where, and hit Sakura square in the head. The orb fell to the carpet covered floors, and Sakura turned, growling.
"Gah! Can't drive these orbs now-a-days!" Sakura anime sweat dropped and picked up the glass orb. Tsunda was turned, so the back of her head was facing Sakura. "Eh? Where'd you go, Sakura," She turned so her face was looking at Sakura this time. "Ah! There you are, Sakura! I see you took care of those ghosts. Good, good! Now, all you need is some instructions, and a little help from me. Stick me in that pouch you have on the side of your hip," Sakura stuffed Tsunda in her kunai pouch. "Man, am I ever glad that this bag is empty! Could've broken my glass ball!" Tsunda mummbled a few incoherent words, and then Sakura waited. Tsunda had given her a Soul Gem, and a Beacon of Light(lantern). Tsunda started to explin the basics to her until something caught Sakura's eye in the corner of the room. Spiders! Sakura tried to stomp on them, but to no luck would they recieve a scratch,
"Ahh! Tsunda, those things won't die no matter what I do!" Sakura gasped and then screamed as the spiders started to crawl up the fireplace she decided to jump onto for safety. It was only a matter of time until they would have her as a late-night snack! Tsunda mummbled something, but Sakura couldn't hear it. There was a sudden BANG, and all eyes were turned to the east wall where a figure stood. "Sasuke!" Sakura gasped. More ghosts from before came back out've the wall beside him.
Sasuke growled, "Use the lantern, Sakura!" He jumped away, dodging all of the ghosts trying to capture him. Sakura was about to go and help him, but she was grabbed by a ghost before she could do anything. Sasuke yelled, "Sakura, a little help would be greatly appreciated!" Sasuke yelled again as another ghost came at him.
Sakura screamed at him, "I'm kind've busy at the moment, but if you help me, I'd be glad to help you!!" The ghost was nearing the open door that lead into darkness. She screamed, and it disappeared with her behind the door. It closed, and the force-feild appeared again.
"Sakura," He growled. "Okay, that's it!" Sasuke dived for the lantern and slapped the Soul Gem in the top hole in the lantern. It glowed an eerie white. He shot all the ghosts and spiders nearing him. He could hear Sakura's screams dying down, and that only meant she was getting farther away from him. He walked towards the door, inspecting it before turning to a THUMP behind him. It was Tsunda's ball. He walked over to it, letting her appear before tossing it back and forth in his hands.
"H-hey! K-knock i-i-it ooooffff!" Tsunda yelled at him.
He stopped, "Well then, old hag, how to I get my friends back?!" He growled at her smirking face.
"Sasuke Uchiha, you must destory and release all 999 ghosts while finding your friends! Otherwise, you cannot escape this house! First, you must collect the fifteen shrivled ghosts that are in this room. They won't harm you, but other things might if your not to carefull!" He nodded, sticking her glass ball in his pack. Sasuke looked around the whole room, and had found all fifteen ghosts. He walked up to the door, and its force-feild disappeared. He walked through the door, walking into his fate, his danger, his adventure.
