Hello everyone, thank you for waiting so long for me to update my story. I've been really busy and couldn't really get a break (Plus I sort of had a hard time thinking of what to write for this chapter), but now I can finally sit back and relax. Since it is summer Vacation I have all the time in the world to write this story. So, Thanks again for your support and patients. Now, off we go to our wonderful world of adventures!
Lost
Chapter 2
Shadows Of The Day
The next morning I woke up with a terrible headache and a really sore throat. It must have been from all of the sobbing the night before. I shook my head, (which made my headache worse) got out of bed, and dragged myself to the bathroom to take my morning shower. As I got in the shower I thought about what I was going to do for the rest of my dreadful day. I mean today was my day off of work and I did get my paycheck, so that only left me one option . . . Shopping! After my shower and other morning necessities, I went downstairs to the kitchen to make my bowl of cereal.
As I finished my bowl, I noticed a flash of black and red zoom outside my window. I closed my eyes, and then opened them. I saw nothing, just my backyard. Probably those kids next door trying to pull a prank on me again, I thought. I shrugged and continued to wash my dishes.
At Noon, I left my lonely condo and walked through the busy streets of Konoha. I made my first visit to the Pharmacy, to go pay for my aspirin and vitamins, then down to the grocery to stock up on more food, after that I could do the real shopping. Shopping for clothes!
Before I could enter the dress shop I remembered earlier today Ino-chan called me.
Flashback
The phone rang as I vacuumed the carpet, so I stopped what I was doing and ran as fast as I could to answer it. I was on time. I picked up the phone and low and behold, it was Ino.
"Hello?" I said.
"Oh, hey, Sakura-Chan. I was wondering if you had any plans this afternoon." She replies.
"Yes, why?" I lied. If she wants me to help her manage her flower shop on today's big sale, count me out.
"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to come with me and the girls to go on our annual Shopping spree." She said.
"I don't know…" I said thoughtfully.
"Please Sakura-Chan, we'll be really happy to spend some quality time with you." She persuasively said.
"…Fine I'll join the fun." I smiled.
"Yes! Thank you Sakura-Chan! I knew I could count on you!" Ino squealed.
"I'll meet you at the Konoha Mall in an hour." I said.
"Okay. See you there." Ino said and then after that we hung up.
"That Ino, I tell you." I sighed smiling.
End of Flashback
'Oh yeah, the shopping spree! Almost forgot!' I thought before moving towards the direction of the mall.
"Hey, Sakura-Chan!" I heard someone's girly voice call my name from a distance. I looked around, but saw nothing. I shrugged then kept walking.
"You Who! Over here!" Suddenly out of nowhere Ino, Tenten, and Hinata popped out in front of me causing me to jump back a little.
"Gees, You almost gave me a heart attack!" I said holding on to my chest.
"Oops. Sorry." Ino scratched the back of her head and smiled embarrassingly. I rolled my eyes playfully.
"It's okay." I reply. We started our walk to the mall and seconds after we were walking Tenten spoke up.
"I'm going to my sisters wedding on Wednesday so I'm just here to pick out a nice dress to wear…and some really cute shoes."
"I'm going with Tenten-Chan, so I'm looking for a dress as well." Hinata said, shyly.
"I'm just here to find a new wardrobe." I say.
"I'm here to flirt with really hot guys." Ino said, dreamily. I paused for a second.
"Wait a minute! I thought you were madly in love with Shikamaru. Now your cheating on him for some guys you don't even know!" I complained.
"Oh, come on pinky. It's not like we're dating or anything. In fact we're not even dating. But I still am in love with him, it's just…" She paused as we got through the malls entrance.
"Just what?" Tenten encouraged.
"Well, I thought that maybe if he hears that I have a boyfriend, he'll get jealous and confess his feelings to me…eventually." She said looking at her feet as we entered a bridal store.
"Hmm. So your playing that card I see." I smiled amused at how embarrassed Ino looked. Tenten and Hinata giggled.
"What's so funny?" Ino pouted.
"Oh, it's nothing." Tenten said looking away with a sly smile. Ino didn't look too convinced, but she didn't say anything.
As we continued shopping for Tenten and Hinata's dresses, I had the sudden urge to go pee. So I told the girls what my problem was and they happily let me take care my business. Sad thing is, was that right when I exited the shop I didn't have to go anymore. No, I most definitely did not pee my pants, but for some odd reason I felt a weird shadow cast upon my being. I looked around and saw nothing. Just people shopping and roaming the mall, with big smiles plastered on their faces. I shrugged ignoring the weird feeling. I went to buy a coffee at the nearest coffee shop and hurried my way back to the Bridal Wear Store. Every time I did something it felt like someone was watching. It felt creepy.
"Hey, you guys." I said as I approached the group.
"Yes, Sakura-Chan?" Hinata asked nicely.
"Have you ever had the feeling that someone is…" I paused. "Watching you?" I finished. Ino, Tenten, and Hinata gave me a concerned stare.
"Um, not really. Why?" Tenten replied.
"Well, through out my whole day it felt like someone was watching me. Waiting for the right time to strike." I whispered.
"Sakura, maybe we should take you home so you can get some rest." Ino suggested.
"Actually, I felt the presence of another being, also." Hinata stated.
"Huh?" Ino looked surprised. "How come I didn't feel it?" Ino whined.
"Hinata has the Byakugan and can Noticed things more quickly than us. I'm just guessing. Is that right, Hinata?" Tenten asked.
"Yes." Hinata replied.
"Well, you know it could be Lee-San or Naruto-Kun, stalking you again." Ino guessed.
"Yeah." I said feeling a little bit safe.
"Just relax and enjoy the rest of your day. Besides we have credit cards to max out!" Tenten Cheered.
"Hehe! I guess your right. Let's go try on some dresses." I smiled and entered the dressing room to try on some hot and sexy dresses.
The rest of day was great besides the weird and creepy feeling that someone was watching. Sorry to be obsessed about it, but it's just totally freaky. Now that I'm thinking about it I'm kind of scaring myself.
I was walking home by myself thinking about what I should cook for dinner, until I heard footsteps following behind me. I looked back and saw nothing , so I ignored it and kept walking. The footsteps got louder and faster so I picked up my pace and each time I got faster the footsteps would get faster, as well. Before I knew I was running home.
'It's just me. It's just me. It's just me.' I thought repeating. The footsteps grew louder and soon they might end up out running me, so I gained some chakra on my feet and ran as fast as I could. I made it to my condo in the nick of time. The footsteps disappeared, but I was tired as hell.
I locked the door, took of my shoes and plopped down on my couch to take a rest. Soon the lights went out and I could hear the footsteps again. I stood up quickly, but I was held down.
"You're not going anywhere, UN." The man holding me down said. I tried to gain chakra in my fist so I could punch with my super strength, but I had no more. The mysterious man chuckled. He knew what I was thinking and I knew I was hopeless.
"Senpai, Senpai, did you get the girl?" A voice called about.
"Yes. Now get the rope,un." The man called Senpai ordered.
"Nighty Night!" Said the other man.
"Wha…" But before I could finish my sentence I grew dizzy and things began to fade away slowly. The last thing I heard was the Senpai's voice, then after that things went black and I realized I was knocked out.
TO BE CONTINUED
Well I hope you enjoyed this chapter, I know I did. Anyway before I let you go I just wanna get one thing straight. I wrote a new story yesterday, a SasuSaku story and I kind of thought it would be great to change some of the characters personalities, you know for the humor, and some booger tells me that I'm stupid and that my story was fake and that I wasn't a real Naruto fan and that I need to get a life. Well, for starters that review really hurt my feelings and it kind of discouraged me and the way I write. When ppl tell me those kinds of things I take it offensive and it really discourages me to write. So please what ever you do, please don't hurt me because if you do you're helping put my story in danger. If you don't something nice to say don't say it at all. Please give me positive feedback because it really helps my day. Thank you for your time. R and R.
