She wasn't picky with the things that she did find. Sakura checked herself in the mirror of the boy's dressing room, prior to heading out to get the boy a toothbrush and some clean clothes from the lost & found department. They never slept anyways, this took no effort at all; she was even happy that she had something to do tonight. Most of their nights were spent playing board games, card games, war games. Just thinking about it made her bored. Erin was still probably playing that stupid game she found. Whenever she ended up like this, there was no talking to her.
Dara would probably show up with the news from the city either today or tomorrow, this didn't quite please Sakura. The boy would probably be less inclined to listen to them if she did show up. As she got back, the drizzle bothered her, usually she didn't care about how her hair looked, but this boy was starting to make her feel self-conscious. After a while she decided she was hungry, she left Erin and the boy in the cave and killed the first hiker she met, not caring about age for once. Her train of thought was simple, focusing on the task at hand would be easier if she wasn't as hungry.
I returned to something rather unusual, our object of abduction was walking around without chains. He glanced at me briefly, and then eyed Erin suspiciously 'Good to see you're up' I held out my hand for him, 'I believe we were a little too excited yesterday. My name is Sakura, and the other girl is named Erin' Naturally, Erin just waved her hand in his general direction, and went on with gaming. 'Hi, how did you untie yourself?' Erin noted, not even bothering to look up. 'I am very crafty with a nail file, so I filed myself out. Basic skill' he said, his voice raising a little in what seemed to be pride. Stupid, stupid us, we didn't quite seen this possibility, then again. Nothing beat Erin's barrier unless it was something with equal or greater power. No worries there. He had probably tried to break out and entertained Erin in the meantime. There was no way in hell she wouldn't have noticed.
'I got you a toothbrush and some clothes, you better be happy.' Sakura said, slightly irked now. 'I am,' he said, feigning innocence. 'I honestly thought you guys were going to kill me'
'We are if you don't cut the attitude' Erin said, smiling deviously. He should be very careful, Sakura thought. Erin gets really annoyed when her games run out of battery. 'So when are you going to introduce yourself to us?'Erin asked, flashing her brilliant white canines at him. If he knew what was good for him, he'd better answer. He sat down and crossed his legs. 'It's Sasuke. Sasuke Uchiha, are you now going to stop bothering me?' , 'We'll stop bothering you when we feel like it. But for now, I suggest you listen until we decide whether we are going to end you' He flinched a little but still crossed his arms at us, looking up as if he was in control of the situation. He looked so adorable 'I suppose we're going to step out for a bit so you can change.' Sakura said, trying to give Erin a time-out. Erin and I started playing tag, but we could still hear him 'So.. you guys told me earlier, that you're not human. What does that mean?' Erin wasn't quite sure whether to answer, answering would give away her position, and he would find out in the near future.
Sakura had climbed the highest tree she could find, staying clear of Erin's arms. If she was in range she would tackle Sakura and catch her before she hit the ground. That was her strategy. Both of us were purposefully ignoring him, even though his voice was loud and clear to us. 'You have to put up the barrier again' Sakura whispered. Erin smiled and sat down on a rock in clear view of the cave entrance. 'Watch and learn' Sasuke tried to casually stroll outside, but as soon as he hit the cave entrance his head seemed as if it had been slammed into something. 'DAMNIT!,' he yelled 'that hurt!'
'We know' Erin answered calmly. He made another attempt, this time with his hands. The barrier emitted a blue spark at any kind of contact that was made, and he flinched backwards. Erin and I had a hard time not laughing. Sakura got bored and went back in the direction of the cage again, after having removed some leaves and small branches. 'Why are you trying to escape, I can understand your surprise after the first time, but the other times can be classified as potential breakouts' Her expression was cold, this was apparently enough to scare the boy. He looked up at her with pain in his eyes 'You look exactly like my mother when you talk to me like that' he replied, smiling now.
Erin let down the barrier for a brief second so that Sakura could get in. 'How come you-' Sakura just smiled 'Magical powers, I'm telling you' she said, winking now. He looked like a fashion victim, with his red checkered shirt and ¾ cut off khaki pants. 'What?' he asked, obviously annoyed. 'Nothing. You just look.. funny' Sasuke leaned back against the cold cave walls, 'So do you guys do this often? Keeping people alive and such?' he tugged a bit at his shirt, obviously not comforted. Sakura smiled and flicked her hair back 'To be honest, I think you're our .. second attempt. I heard about there being a first attempt a while back.' He looked a little interested 'I suppose.. that one didn't end well?' Erin came in too, eyeing Sakura with an understanding look. 'We have to have your permission' Erin smiled, as Sakura asked herself why she had been explaining some of the things that were of no real importance. 'And that is why I am still alive?' Sasuke asked, cocking an eyebrow. 'If you put it like that.. I think it's that indeed.' Erin said, licking her lips. Sakura giggled 'You're sort of .. funny, you know that? Other people would have freaked out at the "these girls aren't human" but you seem to be taking all of this pretty well'
He slumped against the wall and glanced at the two girls 'My grandmother said.. it skips.. a generation,' he said, choosing his words carefully. 'So I sort of had it coming. I suppose. You aren't so bad' he said, smiling a little. 'Thanks' they replied in unison. He toyed with the apple a little bit, any other person would have gotten annoyed, but his liveliness intrigued both of them. The awkwardness carried on for a little bit more; until it started to drizzle outside. Sakura leant in against the wall, as her male companion had been doing. She tuned everything else out and focused on single drops. She enjoyed the rain, it was a good way to use her enhanced eyesight to make something this boring interesting. The wind picked up and blew some of the drops against the barrier. For convenience's sake, Erin shut it off so the drops could freely enter the cave. Sasuke didn't notice, instead he watched Sakura 'The rain seems to interest you' he noted. Erin just smiled as Sakura ignored him instead and eyed the rain as if she was five years old.
In the meantime, Erin had already gone out and killed something. Sakura could see her triumphant face as she was covered in blood. Her hair was a bloody mess, dripping with the liquid. Fifty percent of her face had been painted red, as had her arms been. She looked like a character straight out of a horror movie. Her hair clung to her clothes, as the rain tried to wash it off. Erin smiled, her teeth crimson reflected in the raindrops. In more hungry times, Sakura would have made an honest attempt to lick the food off her companion's hands, right now it seemed inappropriate. Erin knew this damn well. Sasuke was instead pacing back and forth as if he was a polar bear in captivity. 'You won't get me hungry that easily, just because you don't like him' Sakura thought, as she watched Erin lick the blood off her hands. She was hiding behind a tree, but Sakura knew what it meant. The red head then sat down on a rock in plain sight. The blood trickled down her t-shirt, blending in with the colors. Erin had forgotten about the rain since she slid down the rock to land with a soft thud that only Sakura could hear.
Erin hit the rock in revenge, splitting it in two by just using brute force. Sakura smiled as Erin let out an annoyed moan, grabbing Sasuke's interest. He just stood there, watching Erin wide-eyed. 'You stupid ass rock!' Erin yelled. 'And thank you' Sakura replied dryly. Her heart skipped a beat as she heard the boy laugh for the first time. Erin lifted the barrier by the mere holding up of her finger as she marched inside. 'Sakura! Get me a towel!' The pink-haired woman complied and sat down next to Erin. The droplets left her hair at a rapid speed, leaving Sasuke to wonder why the towel was needed in the first place. 'Women' he muttered. 'Hey, intruder,' Erin said, smiling. 'we leave tonight'. Sasuke seemed put off a little at the prospect of having to leave this oh so comfortable cave. 'Do you really hate it that much here Erin-chaan~' Sakura retorted. 'Yes,' she said, crossing her arms. 'We are going to the-' she quickly held her hand over her mouth not to tell him. 'Woops.' She muttered. 'Yeah, whoops' Sakura said. Erin yawned, pretending to be really sleepy 'Which brings me to my next point', Sasuke said. 'Do you guys even sleep?'
