CHAPTER 2

"Sakura…are you sure we're going the right way?" Naruto asked.
"O f course we're going the right way. Gees Naruto!" Sakura remarked and pointed straight ahead. 'Hm. I don't think we are' he thought.
"You know Naruto, it'll be better if we find the Akatsuki first. Like that we'll be the first to attack." "Yeah, but Sakura you do know that Itachi will be there. And we will probably die." Naruto warned
'I know for sure Itachi will be there, and I'm not afraid…well maybe a little.' Sakura thought "um, Sakura?" "What?" "You kind of spaced out" Naruto laughed

"Naruto! Shut up!" she punched him.
"Ow, why did you hit me?" he remarked.
"Shhh…did you hear that...quickly behind the bushes." She grabbed Naruto by the shoulder and jumped in.

Naraku suddenly dropped from the sky and landed in with a puff of smoke.

"Inuyasha, those fool! He actually thought he follow me into the vortex, that pathetic half- demon. Now where am I? I have this massage urge to kill someone." Naraku laughed.
"Naruto did you hear that?" Sakura asked
"Yeah, he sounds evil. And I don't like the fact that he doesn't have charka either."
'yeah he's creepy…I wander if he's part of the Akatsuki, but then again he doesn't have the black coat with the clouds, so he cant be.' Sakura thought.
"Hey Naruto, we got-… eh...Naruto where are you?" Sakura hastily looked around.

"Hey you, yeah you, the guy with the big tentacles coming out of his back," Naruto exclaimed.
Naraku turned around to see a blond kid with a black and orange suit accompanied with a black Konoha head band.
"And you are?" he asked
"I'm Naruto Uzamaki, believe it."
"What are you supposed to be, leave me alone I don't waste my precious time on a brats like you?" He looks at Naruto up and down "yup definitely not worth my time"
'Grr! How dare he talk to me like that…I'm 15, I'm not a kid any more.' Naruto thought.
"I'll teach you to underestimate me!" Naruto yelled and rushed at him.

He put his hands together and made a sign.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Three replicas of Naruto appeared next to him

'This kid is interesting' Naraku thought
Naruto's clones ran straight to Naraku
Naraku punched the first one and it disappeared. "What!"
The second followed and kicked Naraku in the face while the third flew around and punched him up. And to Naraku's surprise Naruto was already up in the air and kick him straight to the ground, "Uzamaki Barrage!"

"Naruto!" Sakura jumped out next to Naruto.
"I can't believe you did that." She said "Naruto we got to be careful, we don't know who this guy is…"
"Sorry Sakura. It's just that he doesn't feel right." He sighed

'What's with that kid?' Naraku said as he rose up from the ground. 'Where did this orb bring me to?' he added. Naraku looked up, a girl with a nice figure with pink hair, who wore a cut of read tang top with a white mini shirt, with shorts under of course, and accompanied by a red Konoha head band. 'Another one? Where did she come from?'

"So, who's the freak?" Sakura asked
"Sakura, I thought you said to-". "Forget it, I can tell that this guy is no match for us, we'll stop him easily." She smirked
"Great, you should stay out of this little girl."
'Cha!!! Who's he calling little!?!?' Sakura thought
"It takes one to know one." She spoke back. Naruto couldn't help but laugh.
"I'll teach you some manners!" Naraku yelled. He turned his hands into spikes and drove them into the ground. He smiled

'What's he doing?' Sakura thought –gasp-"he's attacking from under ground" she yelled and flipped backwards dogging the attack, but Naruto didn't react as fast, Naraku hit him directly in the chest and sent him flying.

"Naruto…are you ok?" she knelt beside him.
"I'll tell you when my head stops spinning." He sighed
"Damn you!" Sakura charged at Naraku with full force. She punched him with full force, he moved back and she hit the floor and made a huge crack. Sakura quickly moved forward and swung with her left hand hitting Naraku, sending him flying.
"Awesome Sakura, you got him good" he said rubbing his chest
"Thanks, but look, he's still moving" she pointed

'…why are those kids so strong? I don't understand…but if I absorb them I will be as strong as they are…' Naraku said as he slowly stood up.

"Naraku! Get back here!" Inuyasha ran through past Sakura and Naruto.

'Damn…perhaps another time, how did he get here…he must have followed me through the portal.' He thought.
"Another time Inuyasha, lets see you brats escape my miasma." He flew up and started to release a poisonous purple gas.

"What's that" Naruto coughed "I don't know" Sakura answered
"Hey, you guys over here, get away from that gas!"
Naruto and Sakura turned around and headed towards Kagome.The gas started to disappear, and Naraku had vanished. Inuyasha with drew his sword and walked over to Kagome.

"That bastard, he got away." He scuffled.
"I'm sorry to get you to involved in this," Kagome apologized
"Don't worry about it, I could of taken him" Naruto smiled
"By the way…I'm Naruto and this is Sakura"
"Hello" Sakura nodded "Hi, I'm Kagome and this is Inuyasha,"

"Um…Kagome, who was that guy?" Sakura asked
"His name is Naraku, and he's a demon-"
"Kagome, they don't need to know that. Let's go, we got to track him down." he started to walk past them.
"Inuyasha, sit." Kagome sighed

Naruto and Sakura looked at Inuyasha on the floor. "Wow" Sakura said.
"Ok, can you guys tell us where we are?" Kagome asked
