Oh, by the way. The song Sakura sings is We Belong to the Sea by Aqua

The atmosphere was filled with ghost lights. They flickered as the team made there way down the sinister and almost empty street.
"Can we grab something to eat before we go any further" Naruto whined as his stomach made grumbling noises.
"Is that all you ever think of?" Sasuke asked with annoyance
"Of course not!" the blond protested. "Can we at least stop by somewhere and restock. Kakashi-sensei?" he begged.
The silver haired jonin just looked at the boy.
"We should restock" Sakura suggested. Every body was taken back; she hadn't been speaking all day practically. "Besides" she continued "I need to refill my medical kit"
"It's settled then!" Naruto cheered, running off into the distance.
"Naruto!" Sakura yelled as she chased after him. The other two shinobi sighed as they followed close behind.
xXxXx
By the time they had finished replenishing there empty bags, it was already well past midnight.
"Let's camp here" Kakashi suggested as he pointed towards a clearing.
"Ok" they all agreed as they pulled out there bits and bobs.
Sasuke collected some dry wood and lit a fire, as Sakura lay down all there sleeping bags. She sat silently as she unwrapped and rewrapped her damaged arm; Kakashi eyeing her as she went.
"Hay!" Sakura shouted as water splashed onto her. "Watch where you're emptying that thing!"
"Sorry" Naruto apologized as he backed away from her. "I thought I was far enough from you not to get you wet"
Her brow twitched as her fist curled into a ball, and pummeled into the Kyuubi container. Once she was satisfied and sure that he wouldn't approach her anytime soon, she pulled out a small towel, and proceeded to dried herself and her now wet sleeping bag.
'Why isn't her tail forming?' Kakashi asked him self as he closely observed her.
"Is there something you need?"
"Huh?" he looked up to see the cheery blossom girl staring at him.
"Oh- sorry," he apologize "my mind was just wandering" he turned and lay down.
She sighed as she tried to make her self comfortable on her still damp sleeping bag.
"Thanks a lot Naruto" she quietly mumbled to herself. Kakashi grinned under his mask as he fell off to sleep.
xXxXx
She just couldn't get comfortable. No matter how much she twisted and turned, or kneaded; that dam bag just did not want her to get any sleep what so ever. Giving up; she climbed out of it and stood; walking off into the forest behind them.
Sleepily, his eyes opened as he awoke. The fired had long ago extinguished, and only a few hot embers remained.
'Where is she?' he thought as he tried to see though the thick blanket of darkness that surrounded them. Her sleeping bag was empty.
His legs were like jelly as he stood and wobbled a bit. After a few steps; his legs had steadied themselves and was now walking perfectly. At first he thought he should try the river that was near by, but then he remembered the incident with Naruto spilling the water on her. Maybe she needed salt as well.
Thinking of this; he changed his destination and walked in the opposite direction.
He soon found it. Its golden sand shimmered, as the moonlight reached out and touched it. The calm waves smoothly rolled as they grabbed and played with the sand, before rolling back into the sea. The night was so still; not even a gust of wind penetrated this beach.
"Take me to the ocean blue
Let me dive right into
Anything I'll ever capture…" a soft voice sang from a distance.
'What was that?' he asked himself as his body went on instant alert
"You can wait up all night
Waiting for wrong or right
I always knew where I had you…" it continued to sing.
He looked up and down the beach but could not find the culprit who was making the sound.
"You can lie on my waves
You can sleep in my caves,
Living on the edge of peace
Knowing that water can freeze
Do you still want me to open…"
His feet began to walk as he searched.
"Come on into my waves
You can sleep in my caves
Let me know that you will hold me till the tides take my soul…"
He stood; his eyes not letting go of the thing he was staring at. There she was; lying on the soft sand as she quietly sang to herself. Her webbed hands were placed over her stomach as her long black tail stretched outward, and coiled.
"We belong to the sea
To the waves you and me
Living in the ocean so blue…
We belong to the sea
Open wide being free,
A minute everlasting with you…"
Her voice came to a sudden halt as she heard footsteps approach her. Her once closed and peaceful eyes jolted open as she suddenly sat up. Her eyes studied the surroundings as she knew she was being watched. Without seeing anything, and being precautious just in case; she quickly rolled over onto her belly and started to dart for the water.
"Ahh!" she gasped as something grabbed hold of her dark fin.
She looked up to see none other than her sensei; Kakashi.
xXxXx
'What happened last night?' he asked himself as he sat up and held his throbbing head.
'I remember walking on a beach… and then… that's right, I herd her singing and grabbed her tail before she could escape. Hmph' he huffed at the thought 'know wonder my heads pounding the way it is. She must have slipped out of my grasp and whacked me before running off.' He smiled to himself.
She was back in her now dry and warm bag; sleeping peacefully, when something tapped her shoulder.
"Sakura" Sasuke said as he gently shook her "time to get up" he left her alone once he knew she was awake and finished packing his stuff.
"Five more minutes…" she mumbled as she rolled over on her other side.
"Come on Sakura-chan" Kakashi said as he lent over her and whispered into her ear "you wouldn't want us to wet you again, would you?" he teased
"No!!" she suddenly shot up; now fully awake and alert.
"Good" he grinned and stood.
Naruto would have woken her up. But after the incident of last night, he didn't exactly have the courage to do stuff like that to her. Indeed; he feared for his life.
After they had finished packing, they headed towards there proper destination. The one they were aiming for before the blond announced he was hungry.
xXxXx
Finished!! Well not for good, but the end of this chapter! I hope it was long enough and that there weren't as many grammar mistakes as last time. (I actually went back and tried to fix a lot of them).
Did you like the song I picked? I was looking through all the music I had on my computer, and this one suited it the best. If you've never heard it before, you should go look it up.
Until next time!!
