Locked in Chapter 2!!

Last time

Opening her eyes, she came face to face with some one she thought dead, some one she had tried to save… It was-

Now

A ghost, but the strange thing is, he was wearing a mask. It was red as blood, and only covered the top half of his face. She gasped as he pulled her closer. She locked eyes with him, as he dipped low, and kissed her. A chill swept through her entire body. His lips were rough, and chipped, but they were also ice cold. If she had felt exhausted before, she was completely drained now. She didn't want to break the kiss, but she was running out of breathe. Just as the blackness took over her vision, the lips left her. She had no more strength left, so she let herself relax in his arms.

Ghost's pov

She finally fell out of consciousness. I picked her up bridal style and carried her body to the chapel. I knew the moment she stepped in who she was. She was the Haruno who stood in the way when I tried to kill the Uchiha, she was the one who saved my brother's life, and she was the one who tried to save mine. I looked at her, and almost smiled. The time was close, a few more hours and I would live again, this time with my bride. I held her closer and inhaled her sent.

It had been easy to get her alone. All I had had to do was cause a ghostly gust to blow away her teammates. Then I got her into a wedding dress, and hypnotized her as we danced. If all went according to plan, the Uchiha and the Kyubi container wouldn't know until it was too late. The painter and the pervert were irrelevant. I purposely showed what would happen if the pinwheel eye wielders tried to stop me. I looked down at Sakura. She was soon to be Subaku no Sakura, mate to the Sukaku container. I chuckled. If they thought they could take her away from me they were highly mistaken.

In they courtyard

Sasuke was trying to get in, with no luck. Suddenly he heard the creak of metal, or was it…Stone? He turned and saw the statues had come to life. The ones with weapons where ganging up on him. He struggled the best he could, but it wouldn't work. He saw that some of them walked to the chapel. He kicked at the statue holding him. It didn't budge, and he wound up with a sore foot. Then he noticed, the one with the sword had raised it. In a fatal arch, it was swung down with inhuman force. There was a splatter of blood as a head rolled to the fountain, and landed face up. The onyx eyes of the avenger would never close again.

In the kitchen

Naruto had been eating ramen, when out of the blue, the knives and various other utensils acted up and started to pin him to the wall. The remaining ones took aim. Naruto tried to escape, but even the Kyubi couldn't break free. In a moment, the knives flew and-

In the Study

Kakashi had just woken up. He stumbled to his feet, and tried the door again. Books, paper, and other various things in the room pulled him away, they tied him to the wall, and blocked the exit. When he tried to break free, the grip tightened. Just when he thought he was done for, Sai busted down the door.

In the Chapel

Everything was set, now all he needed was witnesses. He made the Copy-nin and the artist come, with the books and paper from the study. When they got their, the chairs forced them to stay put. A skeletal organ player started to play 'hear comes the bride', in minor. Sakura was walked up the isle by a skeleton in a tux. She was handed to Gaara by the skeleton. Sakura's eyes where half lidded. Gaara looked at the witnesses, just as he had the cutlery bring in Naruto. They pinned him to his seat, just as the ghost of Sasori started the traditional wedding ceremony.

When it came to the 'speak now or forever hold your peace' part, cloth kept the witnesses from saying anything. Sakura turned to Gaara and Gaara looked at her. He put the ring on her finger, and she put his ring on his finger. "You may now kill the bride" Sasori said. Gaara pulled Sakura to him. He made the chairs slide back until the wall engulfed them and they were in the hall. Sasori and the skeletons where gone.

"Your mine now, Cherry blossom." Gaara said. Without hesitation he kissed her, and made sure she felt it. After a minute, she went limp in his arms. He pulled away and smirked, this was the final step. Taking a knife, he slit her wrist, then his own ghostly one, and mingled the blood, he laced their fingers together. In a flash of red light, he was standing there in the flesh, Sakura in his arms, breathing once more. He pulled her closer and whispered into her ear.

"Wake up, Subaku no Sakura." Her eyes fluttered, and she looked up. He smirked at her, and gave her a bruising kiss.

THE STORY ISN'T OVER PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
