Where The Angels Are

Chapter two: Exile

Sakura POV

I couldn't sleep; thinking about what Saekura said to me just annoyed me too much. She saw Sasuke-kun, and didn't even tell me about it! I'm not mad at her, I'm just depressed is all. Itachi has been more angrier lately, and he hits me more often. It just doesn't seem right. I was in the kitchen getting a glass of water and he smacked me for that. I felt my sore cheek, wincing as the pain shot through my body. I was training with him the other day, and he gave me a total beating. I sighed, rolling over to look at his face. Itachi looked more at ease when he was asleep, but he was still a cold-hearted a-well, let's just say a cold hearted donkey. I looked back at Saniki who just happened to start crying, and smiled, sitting up to go lull her to sleep. I rocked Saniki back and forth, singing a small tune; Saniki's favorite tune. She loved the song(It was Sakura's Theme-By:Toshiro Masuda. Check it out at Saniki was asleep in minutes. I hummed happily, Saniki sleeping softly in my arms. I still hummed, setting her down in her crib and turned to the bed. I met the face of Itachi, and he glared into my eyes.

"I was singing Saniki to sleep because she woke, Itachi-kun." I bowed in respect, and he lifted up my face, only to slap me across the cheek. Saniki rolled over and continued her silent slummber. Itachi turned to his Akatsuki cloak, putting it on and then exited the room, angry. I sat up, wipping the blood that dripped out of my mouth. What was his problem any way?? I looked back to Saniki and cried silently. What would she turn out to be? Would she be like me or her father, Itachi? I didn't tell Itachi about Saekura and how she saw Sasuke-kun, but I had a feeling he found out; that's why he's been slapping me for no reason. I crawled back into bed, and Itachi came busting through the door about two hours later. I was still awake, and he ripped me out of bed, telling me to get dressed. I nodded, not wanting to feel the wrath of his hand on my cheek again. He turned to me, and told me to grab Saniki. I did, and he lead me out of the room I had a feeling I'd never see again. Itachi told me to get a head start before us into the woods, and I did so. Saniki started crying in my arms, and I shushed her while jumping. I had to help silence her and jump at the same time. JJ, Saekura, and Shuri came up behind me. JJ grabbed my arm, leading me to where I was just coming from. "W-what are you doing?? JJ!" She only glared at me, a slient message saying: 'Quiet, we're helping you escape.' I nodded, and Shuri came up beside me, her smiling face calming me down. Saekura was behind us, using her HeartBreaker to make sure nothing or any one was coming up behind us. Shuri stopped, sensing someone nearby.

"Guys, he's here! Come on! Sakura you have to stay here," She turned away from me. "Oh, and Sakura? Take care of yourself." She smiled, taking off after JJ and Saekura. I stood bewildered, that is, until a familiar voice made me turn to see him.

"S-Sakura?! Is it really you??" Sasuke. I stared down at him, then turned to look back in the direction my friends went.

"Guys...thanks. For everything." I nodded, turning to face him with a smile on my face. He smiled, happy to see me.

Shuri Stone POV

I felt tears coming to my eyes, but quickly wipped them away as Itachi came into veiw. I put on my best lying face, and hoped he'd buy it. Itachi narrowed his eyes at us suspiciously.

"Where's Sakura?! You didn't help her go free, did you??" I looked away, knowing what was going to happen next. We'd be exiled, or worse, killed. JJ stepped forward.

"Itachi-san. It was me, I helped her escape, these two didn't see me do it, their clean." I gaped at JJ, and Saekura looked down. Itachi snapped his head in her direction, and punched her with so much force she flew back into the huge tree behind her, knocking it over. Saekura and I stared wide-eyed at him, stepping back a little.

"Get. Out. Of. Here. Never. Come. Back. EXILE!!!!" Saekura and I grabbed JJ's unconcious body and jumped off, never looking back. We jumped until the outskirts of Kohana village, seeking sanctuary. ANBU escorted us to the Hokage's office, and Tsundae growled.

"Get this girl to a hospital bed. You two, come with me." Saekura and I followed Tsundae to a confrence room and she told us to sit down. She reached into some files, and brought three out. "Shuri Stone. Age:23 Hair color:Blue-long and straight Eye Color:Golden Birth Village:Village Hidden in the Mountains Bloodline:Midnight Crescent Companions:Saekura Manner and JJ Collas. Saekura Heart. Age:19 Hair color:Black-long and curly Eye color:Pink Birth Village:Village Hidden in the Mountains Bloodline:HeartBreak Companions:Shuri Stone and JJ Collas. JJ Moon. Age:21 Hair color:Purple-curly and short Eye color:Dark blue Birth Village:Village Hidden in the Mountains Bloodline:Yellow Moon Companions: Shuri Stone and Saekura Maner. This is all of your records, girls. When you were born and down to the last person you killed. It says here that Saekura, you've killed over fifty people in your life-starting with your father," Saekura bit her lip, and her head held down, nodding. "Mrs. Stone, it says that you've killed only eighteen people. As for JJ," Saekura shot her head back up. Tsundae sighed. "She's killed over one hundred men. Including women and children. It's very weird, though. You all showed up here at the same time, why's that??" Saekura started to speak, but I interrupted her.

"Hey! You should be thankful we helped get Sakura back here! Sasuke's probably on his way here now to tell y-TSUNDAE!!" Speak of the devil, Uchiha Sasuke just ran in the door. Sakura was behind him, holing a small bundle. Saniki and her made it safely.

"Y-you guys??" Sakura ran over and hugged us both, smiling. "How'd you guys get here so-wait, where's JJ? Did something happen," She saw our faces, and narrowed her eyes. "What did Itachi do?"
