Chapter Two – Honesty can be bad too

Three days later in Yokohama

Ever since they arrived, Sakura and her class had made round trips where most tourists usually have visited: to the central capital aka the shopping central. The boys debated they wanted to travel to Mt. Fuji but the girls whined how it would take hours to get there. Including Sakura, who did the calculations and was not excited at the total number it would take to reach the destination.

Half of the class was satisfied with what they had now, even though after hearing how long it would take to visit the mountain, the boys finally relented to the girls and didn't talk about it afterwards.

Shikamaru grouped up with Choje, a friend who wasn't seen much due to his late flight after coming back from his surgery of tangled intestines.

"Quiet down students," The teacher called out, "This evening there's a festival going on downtown—"

Everyone cheered excitedly.

"—but be careful, there have been some trouble recently. Stay with your group!"

Ino leaped from her seat of the bus and hopped from one seat to another until she was at the front of the bus. "Can we roam freely though?"

"As long as you're with another member of your group; yes." The teacher replied, nodding her head in approval and checked her watch.

"Do we have a curfew?" Ino asked, blinking her eyes.

The teacher sighed, "Yes, Miss Yamanaka, we have a curfew. We always have a curfew, especially on a school trip like this."

Ino smiled innocently and looked back at Temari, wiggling her eye brows. Hopping back to her original seat, Sakura nudged Temari, "Great, we're going to have lots of fun on this trip!"

Ino squealed, making a few heads turn her way. She clapped her hands together and glomped Temari who happened to be the nearest person to attack. Temari flailed her arms, screeching from the lack of air. "Help!"

Sakura laughed and shook her head, "Ino, come on, let her go!"

Ino's eyes dazzled with excitement, "This, my ladies, is where we set up to find…"

Sakura leaned in, "Find what?"

Ino finally let go of Temari but only to hug her again as she screamed, "BOYS! Hot ones at that."

Temari coughed, using what little strength she had left to push Ino off of her. "She's a pedo, you know."

"Hey!" Ino snapped, glaring at Temari, "They're attracted to me, so it's not the same thing!"

Just when Sakura was going to ask, the bus lurched to a stop, sending screams of everyone hitting the back of the seats in front of them. "Sorry!" The bus driver called out, "Goat."

Goat? Sakura looked at Temari who gave the bus driver a bizarre look. What?

"Hey look!" Someone yelled from the front of the bus. Everyone's attention was drawn to the window. Outside was indeed a goat, but a goat's head with a human body. The person was waving at them, and pointed further down the road where a small town centre was littered with red and white paper celebrations.

"Is that goat a mascot or something for the festival?" The same person asked.

The bus driver drove on, ignoring the question as everyone started to buzz about the festival that evening. They drove down the windy roads, only stopping as a few more animal headed humans crossed their path. They also waved at them, pointing them to the direction of where the festival was being held at.

Finally as the bus reached the end of the intersection of the town, the bus driver made a big U-turn and parked at the side of the road where the students piled off in a single file line.

"Okay class, you know the drill. Meet back here a quarter till it gets dark… and I mean literally; if you're not back at the— HEY!" The teacher yelled, sending a few tourists attention to the students and teacher.

Sakura looked back at what her teacher was yelling at, and saw Ino walking back towards the group.

"Like I was saying," She coughed, "If you're not back here in three and a half hours, and you're not on my attendance list, you will be sent home by the time we head back to the hotel!"

Ino rolled her eyes, "We got it already! Can we please go?"

Sakura nudged Ino, "Ino!"

The teacher breathed a few breaths and then exhaled, waving her hand off to Ino, "Remember what I said Miss Yamanaka, and I'm not kidding this time!"

Ino nodded and started dragging off Temari and Sakura down the road, where they past a few pastry shops. "She hates me." Ino stated.

Temari blinked and turned to face Ino, "That's because you contradict her all the time."

Sakura skipped forward and hugged Ino from behind, "She doesn't hate you. She's just being cautious, that's all."

"Troublesome, that's what the teacher thinks of you." A familiar voice added from behind the three girls.

They paused in their steps and turned to face the person. Shikamaru stood there, holding a black bag with an icon printed on it. Ino's mouth dropped, "What?"

Sakura giggled and eyed Temari who caught on and coughed real loud, "Oh hey Sakura, I think Gaara is calling!"

Playing along, Sakura "accidentally" pushed Ino aside, sending her to collide with Shikamaru, "Really? Let me see?"

Temari held out her phone which had a black screen as Sakura snatched it out of her hands and ran. "HEY, give me back my phone!" Temari chased after Sakura, leaving Ino awkwardly in the arms of her enemy.

One day earlier before the Yokohama Festival

"Is everything ready?" a deep voice said on the other side of the speaker. The young man holding the phone made a noise in agreement. He sighed as the voice continued talking on the phone, "Good. Do not disappoint me; we are finally getting around to making a new nation!"

"Yes sir," The young man said, walking into the next room, turning on the lights. A moan was heard from across the room as well as something hard shattering against the floor. The man walked back out, not having the decency to turn off the light and walked into the next room, doing the same thing he did in the last.

This time, a woman screamed and threw a pillow at the intruder, "Get out Deidara!"

The young woman, now awake, aroused from her messy bed. Her red hair was vivid that it could only match the hazel color of her eyes behind her thick black glasses. She had said it made her feel superior and intelligent.

"Karin." Deidara said, matching her deep glare.

She stomped towards him, only to bend her lean body to yank her pillow off the floor and whack him as hard as she could. Deidara, being the sensitive member of his group cried out, especially into the receiver of the phone, "She's awake… owie!"

"Whoa, is that Itachi?" Karin stopped beating Deidara and snatched the phone out of his hands and placed it to her mouth, "Hey, when are we going to destroy another town?"

"Hello Karin." The man's voice drawled out of the speaker, making a line of shivers roll down her back, "Tomorrow evening, there will be a festival going on. So express your appreciation for me."

Cracking a grin, Karin slurred into the phone, eyeing Deidara, "With pleasure."

After she shut off the phone and threw it back to Deidara who only had a second to catch it; she strutted back into her bed and flicked Deidara off. Deidara strolled over to her mirror on the wall and flipped his long blond hair over his shoulder. He locked eyes with Karin's in the mirror, brown vs. blue. "What'd he say?"

Karin placed her index finger to her lips and shook her head teasingly, "Your loss, I have the upper command now!"

He groaned as she laughed and turned back to facing the wall, "Oh, on your way out, turn off the lights, would you?"

Deidara, glaring daggers at her back, went to the exit and walked out; ignoring her request. She screamed at him to come back and turn off her lights. Sighing, he turned around and headed back to her room, an idea blaring into his mind. A disturbed smirk formed on his face as he reached down to his belt and grabbed a small metallic ball from inside his pouch. Pulling the trigger, he let the small device fall out of his hands and onto the floor with a small clink that rolled into the middle of her room. "Sleep tight."

"WHA—" Her voice raised in surprise but soon waned into silence as the device released sleeping gas, engulfed the small room. This time it was Deidara's turn to laugh as he left the room.

Russia. New Years Eve, Sunday. 6 PM.

"Code Orange, I repeat Code Orange," A young man dressed in a green camouflage suit, whispered into his radio. He was in a crouching position, glancing behind his shoulder to see if he was being followed.

"Code Idiot, we don't have a code!" A muffle voiced replied back from the radio, sending off a line of static at the other end.

The man frowned, and picked up his radio. Placing it to his lips, he pressed the speak button, "Why not? You said to make a signal, why not code names?" Taking his finger off the button, he waited until his partner sighed into the radio.

"We're not working for the CIA, idiot."

SNAP!

The young man froze, his eyes narrowing at the sound. Turning around and doing a sweep take, he whispered into his radio again, "Code Orange, I heard a sound. I'm going to check it out."

He heard his radio muffle in static again but he didn't pick it up. Placing it back to its pocket, the man crept forward, one stretch at a time.

"Idiot, don't go getting in trouble." The radio blared, static following from behind. He must be running, the man thought to himself. "Naruto! I—"

The young man gasped, yanking his radio from its pocket and pressed the speak button and yelled, "Don't say my name so loudly!" He then gasped, realizing he just yelled and blushed. He added, knowing his partner would say something, "Shut up."

Naruto, feeling slightly dumb and cautious as the same time, crept forward and peered around the corner where he first heard the sound. In the brushes of thick thorns, the stems flutter urgently. Naruto backed away slowly, his hand reaching down to his belt and touched the steel butt of his gun.

Suddenly as the bushes started getting louder, Naruto's radio started beeping four times, a signal of urgent news starting in four-three-two… "Code 2827, urgent news down the east side of the Wind Theater, 24th street— tunnel F87; Agents H, T and U's, report immediately, I repeat, agents H, T, and U's!"

Naruto stood up. He glanced at the bush and then retreated back quietly, placing the radio to his lips and, "I'm at—"

MEOW! Naruto screamed, dropping his radio as it clattered to the ground and backed away. A tabby cat with white stripes pounced from its hidden place in the bushes and ran past Naruto, disappearing around a corner. Cursing, Naruto heard the cackle of statics from the fallen device and breathes out a heavy breath.

Shaking his head from the abrupt false alarm, Naruto bent down to pick up his radio, "South side of Wind Theater is clear. I re—"

"Orange, watch out!" Naruto was pushed forcibly to the side and a loud bang replacing where he stood from. Whipping his head up, he saw his partner drop to the ground and crawled behind a crumbled wall, his head to the side and his gun at the readied.

Naruto swallowed and crawled to the side, quickly rolling to his stomach and lifting his gun up, pressing the trigger. They both heard more shots and then a sudden yowl. Taking a peek from his hiding spot, Naruto lifted his gun again and shot, missing.

VVVRAANNZZ!Feeling the wet tear slide down his cheek, Naruto whipped back around, breathing slowly. Smelling a whiff of metallic iron almost sent Naruto fainting. Shaking his head slowly, he saw his partner two feet closer to him, waving a hand in his face and mumbling a small curse.

"Sasuke? I feel funny." Naruto mumbled, feeling his whole body become heavy and dropped his gun.

"Hold in there Naruto, back up is coming." His partner whispered, placing a hand on Naruto's shoulder shaking him a bit to stir him from falling into unconsciousness.

"Sasuke?" Naruto gasped, "You need to know that I found the copies of their—"

Clapping a hand over Naruto's mouth, Sasuke narrowed his eyes around them, and muttered under his breath, only that Naruto could hear, "Keep that to your self for now. Tell that to the boss, once you come to."

Nodding off, Naruto felt his eyes slide close and his breathing became steadied as he fell unconscious. Sasuke watched and turned around to spot an enemy jumping over the southwest fence. Ducking low, he went around Naruto and pulled him into the thick bushes; trying to be as quiet as to not draw any other noise towards his partner.

After doing so, Sasuke lowered his eyes and took Naruto's radio, glancing at the little flashing light that started to beep four times. Finally making a decision, he placed the radio on his belt in exchange and took his own radio and clasped it in Naruto's hand. Standing up, he ran low towards the southwest fence where he saw the enemy jump over. Jumping up, he climbs up without any trouble and jumped down on the other side. Taking Naruto's radio from his belt, he threw it hard on the ground, denting it. Just to be sure the radio could no longer have signal, he grabbed a rock and smashed it repeatedly against the radio and then ran off.

Yokohama Festival

Times sure does fly when you're having fun, Sakura thinks as she walks alongside the outskirts of the festival with Temari who was eating a bag of blue cotton candy. Sakura shook her head as Temari stuffed another handful of cotton into her mouth. "You're going to get sick, Temari."

Temari licked her sticky lips and shot a dull, superior look at Sakura, "You shouldn't be talking with that bag of pink cotton candy."

Sakura looks down at her bag for a moment before her eyes flickered back to a grinning Temari, "By the end of today, you'll be sick to your stomach when everyone gets a laugh at how pink you are ha-ha."

Sakura purses her lips as her upper right cheekbone twitches at the insult. She holds up a fist and smiles not-so-innocently, "Not as much as I'll beat you black and blue."

Temari laughed and called a truce.

Sakura and Temari walked on, admiring the ferries floating in the water, away from the docks they were on. Suddenly a sliver of breeze blew passed Sakura and made her shiver from her neck down. A firework pounded behind them, spraying lights of different colors in different directions.

"I wonder how Ino is doing," Temari announced, her eyes watched as the fireworks flames dissolved and disappeared in the sky before turning to Sakura. Sakura hugged herself and shrugged. "We did ditch her with that lazy boy."

Sakura smiles, "Ditch? Doesn't that sound a bit… dirty?"

Temari quirks a brow and grins at Sakura, "Oh Sakura, you're so innocent."

Sakura laughs and pauses at the sound of waves crashing against the shore. Another firework sets off in the distance but something didn't sound right; to Sakura, something was off, "Did you hear that?"

Temari presses her lips in a thin line, takes a moment to listen as birds above them scattered in different directions and then turns to Sakura again, "I don't hear anything besides sea gulls wanting to eat Choje's chips and the festival behind us."

Sakura rolls her eyes at Temari's joke, "No, I thought I heard something like someone's voice or perhaps a scream?"

Temari shrugged, not knowing what Sakura was getting to but as soon as Sakura turns to look at the seaside, a flash of blond was running towards them. Her eyes narrowed, "Speak of the devil. It's Ino."

Sakura turns around and sees Ino run over to them. She looked flustered and red, possibly from running around to search for her two friends. "Come quick!"

"What, why?" Temari started, looking over at Sakura who gazed at Ino like she grew two heads.

Ino shook her head, her chest heaving from heavy breaths. Ino swallowed hard and grabbed Temari's arm before hauling her forward a few feet. "Hurry, it's an emergency!"

Sakura steps forward, her eyes widen in surprise, "What? What happened?"

Ino licks her lips, pulling Temari forward, "Something happened at the central, someone got shot!"

"Shot!" The two girls exclaimed, their eyes widen at what Ino told them.

Sakura furrowed her brows, running to Ino and took her arm, "Is it someone we know? Is it— is it Shikamaru?"

Ino smacked Sakura's hand away with her arm, "No, why would you bring him into this? Which reminds me, when we get back to the hotel— you two," She glared at Temari and Sakura, "are so getting it! And its some lady, she got shot in the chest from behind, the same time a firework set off!"

Temari gasps and turns to Sakura who turns her attention at the same time, "You were right, Sakura!"

Sakura parted her lips, her brows clustered in confusion, "It must have been close by or else, I wouldn't have heard it."

Temari nods, "But how come I didn't hear it…? Ino, when did the firing go off?"

They both turned to Ino who was looking bewildered and frustrated at the two for leaving her out, "Sakura, Temari… what's going on?"

Sakura shook her head, "I heard something before you came, something that didn't sound right. But, we need to know when the firing went off Ino?"

Ino swallowed, "They say—"

An eerie shrieked in the sky before sounding with a POW! Another firework has set off, cutting Ino off. Ino growled, pulling both girls along aside her as they half strode back to the festival. "Two fireworks ago, the second shot went off!"

Sakura paused at an alleyway; the narrow area brightens at the end, indicating the festival was still going on. Temari's breaths were now uneven as she asked Ino if this was the way she came through. Ino nods, "Our teacher is in a panic state, and yelled for everyone to meet back at the place we left. And whoever didn't get the memo, should other students find their friends and bring them back before giving out any information."

Sakura nods understandingly as she follows her two friends in the narrow alley, darkness consuming behind them as they walk quickly through the space of garbage. A rustle passes them making the girls shriek, uneasily and run faster to the bright lights.

A scream was heard nearby but drowned under another firework blasting in the sky. The three girls hold their breaths, their eyes widen at what they heard. Ino started shaking, her head spun to see Temari crouched at the corner of the alley's wall, her attention distracted. Sakura, on the other hand stood behind them, her face illuminated by the lights, fear dancing in her eyes.

"Whoever is shooting who doesn't want anyone to find out," Sakura spoke, catching Ino and Temari's attention, "They must know when each firework sets off, that way after it streams through the sky, they shoot when the fireworks explodes covering up the sounds of gun shots."

Temari laughs nervously, "But the question is why? Who are these people?"

Sakura stands still, feeling a waft of cold air brush her skin. Sakura turns her head and sees an open window above her, a glint of something shiny was balanced on the edge of the window's sill. Is that a…?

Ino speaks, Temari listens but what they didn't know was that their friend was walking backwards, her eyes cast to the window and locked on the very evidence that could answer their questions.

Her vision was slightly blocked by a stair ladder, hanging above her from the window. Reaching up, she couldn't reach the handles. She'd have to jump. Walking back into the shadows of the alley, Ino's voice travelled lowly.

"Hey look, what's that person doing?" Temari's voice blared, making Ino shuffle uncomfortably. "That's a gun!"

"They have a gun, get down!" Ino screamed, her voice drowned by a ziiing noise coming right at them and cutting through the wall, sending bits of bricks spray above their heads.

Sakura takes a starting run and jumps up, her hand catching the handle of the ladder. She hangs there, her eyes not moving from the shell. She heaved herself up, using her other hand to grab the second handle and pulled herself up until she got a position with her feet.

"Sakura?" Her name was called below. Her two friend's voices rose in fright, panicking possibly because they didn't see her or sensed her presence above them. Where's Sakura? What happened to Sakura? "Sakura!"

"INO!" A male's voice shouted further from their location. "TEMARI!"

"That's Shikamaru's voice!" Ino exclaimed, her voice rising in hope.

ZIIIING! The two girls screamed as another brick bits spray above them. A loud curse dies away as loud stomps of foot steps runs towards them. "It's a random shooting!"

Explains much, Sakura thinks as she pulls herself further to the same length of the window. Reaching forward, Sakura feels the corner of the ledge with the tips of her fingers. She's not close enough!

"We got to get out of here!" Shikamaru's voice echoed off the alley's walls. "Where's Sakura?"

Their voices were hushed as Ino tries to explain to Shikamaru. Sakura leans forward, her fingers straining to reach further across the sill. A couple of loud shouts come from the central of the festival, arguing and random shots being blared.

Temari's gasps as two figures were coming towards them, "We have to go, they're coming!"

Ino cries, "That's them? Where are their guns? What about Sakura?"

"We gotta go now!" Temari's voice rises above a whisper, "Maybe Sakura went around, and maybe she's getting help."

Sakura grunted, never taking her eyes off the shiny object, her mind preoccupied with only the evidence, not noticing her three friends running off to safety and the two figures that were involved in the shooting running through the alleyway.

March, 6 pm. Alleyway.

Itachi stands within the walls of the alleyway; his eyes flickered to the sight that caught his breath. A girl with pink hair, about the size of a high school student, was leaning further away from the ladder she was on, her hand outstretched from an open window. The window they had planted a time bomb. Four minutes to go and she'd be dead if she didn't get the heck out of there.

But that wasn't what caught his interest? Why was that girl up there in the first place? Did she know of their plans? Was she a spy? What was she up to, possibly setting off the bomb? No, he couldn't let that happen. Running right underneath the girl, he grabbed his gun and raised it to shoot.

ZIIIIIING!

A blast of brick dust blew in the girl's face. Her hand retracted, hesitant but as the dust cleared, she reached over again. Itachi narrowed his eyes, why wasn't this girl scared? Why wasn't she back down? The clock was ticking by and he had to get out of there fast. Growling lowly, he shot again.

Sakura

Sakura shrieked, her fingers barely touching the surface of the object before swinging back. She lost her focus on what she supposed was a gun shell; her mind reeled at what was happening. She had thought she was lucky to still be alive, but who in the name was shooting at her now? Glancing down, she caught the sight of a middle age man, about his in twenties glaring up at her. She feels her chest beat faster as she sees him raise his gun again.

"Get down," His voice rose, low and gruff. He aimed, cocking his gun.

Sakura parted her lips as she sees the shiny glint of the shell in her peripheral vision. She can't just surrender now; she has to get that shell! Who was this guy to tell her to get down? What is he? Who is he?

She swallowed and swung from the ladder, her hand swooping out to the ledge and at that moment a gun shot goes off, she feels the smooth oval shape of the shell in her grasp, smells the metallic sense of blood and the rush of air whipping her hair up.

She was falling. She gripped the shell in her hand and closes her eyes as she pummels to the ground, only to be saved by a heap of body limbs.
