A/N: Ahm, It's been quite a while since I've last written a chapter to this fic. I believe two months of waiting is enough, for now. I shall get started on this chapter soon. I would like to thank everyone who reviewed, thanks. But I am not doing it individually this time, that was just a bother. Plus, I can't seem to recall as to what I was going to say individually, anyhow. D In anycase, this will be an exceedingly interesting chapter. Do review at the end to tell me what you thought.
Ah, yes, Sakura may sound out of character for a bit. I do apologize. She's not my favorite character but, I'm trying. :3 Ah, yes, and about wether to make this a lemon or not.. I have decided to make this version not a lemon. I might do a second version of this and make it a lemon. Though, I am determind to make one. Oh but in this fic, I do hope you younger aged people don't mind much, but I do want continue what I had going, it wont be lemony, it might be minor... Just minor. Vague stuff, like what happened in chapter 2. :3 Don't hate me. :(
Oh yes, Keyara! I'll make a lemony fic just for you, okay:)
Deadly Blossom: Chapter three
Sakura sat on the sleeping bag she had packed, it wasn't pink, but solid black. She had the scroll in her hand and was going through the lists. Sakura let out a sigh shortly after putting the scroll down. To do all of these, will take some time. Perhaps this is why I have three months. Sakura mentioned to herself. Ugh! What is the meaning of this! Inner Sakura blurted out. Ehh? As much as I don't want to admit it, but we're weak right now. We do nothing but hold Team 7 back. Sakura amitted as inner Sakura began to throw a subconscious fit.
We are not weak! We just haven't bloomed yet! Sakura thought this over a bit before replying to inner Sakura's shoutings. True, but with this we will become stronger physically and mentally.
We're already strong mentally! Inner Sakura roared. You are, you fought against Ino-pig when we had her and I had our battle. I was subdued to her technique, but you, pushed her out with your mental rampage. Inner Sakura thought this over and calmed down a bit. You're not weak, you are just easily distracted by your surroundings whatever they may be.
Let us finish this conversation another night. We have a big day tomorrow and for the next three months. Sakura said. Now laying down inside her sleeping bag. She had also set up a small camp fire during the conversation she was having with herself. As Sakura snuggled into her sleeping bag she wasn't aware that she was still being watched, however it was not Kakashi this time. And soon enough she fell asleep.
The figure was crouching on a branch across of from Sakura's campsite, the figure was in a navy blue cloak, and auburn shaggy hair, the persons hood was down, and could be visibly be seen if anyone took the time to look around them before actually going to bed. The figure watched as she fell asleep, once seeing as it was clear for him to move, he did.
The figure jumped off the branch and landed on the ground softly, he walked ever so closer to towards the campsite, once his face came into view you could see two red triangles on each of his cheeks, and then a dog popped up from the underneath the cloak. The pair was none other than Kiba and Akamaru. Kiba crouched down by the fire and glanced at Sakura to make sure she hadn't woken up, and thank goodness to him, she hadn't.
Kiba stood up 10 minutes later apon smelling someone come. He recongized the smell imediately, but did not go into hiding, instead he stood above the fire and waited. In less than a minute the other person lept from off of the branch and landed smoothly near Sakura. Kiba turned around a bit to look at the person.
"Oi, Kakashi-sensei. Why's Sakura here by herself?" Kiba asked apon seeing Kakashi land.
"Hmm? Shouldn't you be in Konoha?" Kakashi replied.
"Right, I was just coming back from a mission. And smelled Sakura here and came to check it out. Since I didn't smell Naruto, Sasuke or you with her." Kiba stated while Akamaru bark quietly, agreeing.
"She's on a one person mission." Kakashi stated.
"She doesn't have much battle experience, should she be on a mission by herself?" Kiba questioned.
"It'll be good for her, it's something only she can accomplish by herself." Kakashi said.
"Okay, then. Well, I'll be heading back now." Kiba said ready to start walking towards Konoha.
"Oh, don't say anything to anyone about seeing Sakura out here or me. No one is supposed to know about her mission. Only those who were told." Kakashi said before jumping back into the tree.
Kiba nodded and walked off towards Konoha. Kakashi sat in the tree near Sakura and watched him off, then turned his attention to the sky. After a bit of staring at the sky he slowly nodded off to sleep.
The next morning, Kakashi woke up before Sakura did, and moved a bit away from her, so he would not give himself away. As Sakura woke up she sat up from her sleeping bag, and stretched her arms while yawning lightly. After she was done stretching Sakura looked around a bit with sleepy eyes and then decided to go clean up a bit before heading off once more.
As Sakura walked towards the lake she heard a twig snap and this caused her senses to be awake. Sakura stopped and looked around carefully, to make sure no one was arround. Her eyes narrowed a bit when she heard rustling in the bushes, her eyes darted towards the sound, but a bunny came hopping out. Sakura relaxed a bit and then continued on her way.
Kakashi was hiding behind a tree after snapping the twig. After noticing Sakura had turned her gaze away from the area he was standing. He thought to himself. Okay, I will not follow her while she gets cleaned up for two days, considering her guard is now up. That's twice I've almost been caught.
Sakura packed up her sleeping bag and a few things and started on her way. She thought about eating, but she would get farther away if she didn't have breakfast just yet.
Though about 45 minutes later her stomach begin to fight with her to eat, for the most part she was able to ignore it until her legs buckled under her and she landed on her knees. "Fine, I'll eat." She stated, taking out a small obento that previously cooked rice in it. Sakura took out her chopsticks and began to eat. When the obento was empty she put it back in her bag and stood up to continue on her way.
Kakashi had stopped following her completely knowing that it'd take awhile to get back to Konoha. His other students would be frustrated if he did not show up. So, Kakashi was heading back towards Konoha to his two male students.
Naruto and Sasuke were at the usual meeting place on the bridge, but neither Sakura nor Kakashi were there.
"Where's Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked.
Sasuke didn't reply, instead shrugged.
"What about Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto continued ignoring Sasuke's shrug.
Sasuke shrugged again, though this did not stop Naruto still.
"Mannnn, where are they?" Naruto whined and then an unspeakable image popped into his head. "What if they are.."
Sasuke glanced towards Naruto apon hearing him trail off and then noticed Naruto had a disturbed look on his face.
Then Naruto continued. "Eating Ramen without me!"
Sasuke frowned even more, if that was possible. "Doubt it."
Naruto looked Sasuke and pointed accusingly at him, "you, you planned this didn't you!"
Sasuke ignored Naruto's rants and noticed Kakashi and appeared infront of them in a puff of smoke.
"Ah, Naruto.. No need to worry, I am here." Kakashi said waving his hand.
Naruto glanced away from Sasuke still pointing at him though, and saw Kakashi. "Kakashi-sensei! Where were you this time?"
Kakashi thought of a lie and responded. "Talking with Tsunade."
"Lies!" Naruto shouted and was now pointing at Kakashi. "You were eating Ramen with Sakura!"
"Oh? Was I? Then where is Sakura?" Kakashi asked, looking around a bit.
Naruto frowned and then stopped pointing at Kakashi. "I don't know."
Sasuke opened his mouth to speak when all that came out was a squeak after recalling seeing Sakura in her window, he then closed his mouth quickly and looked away.
Kakashi and Naruto looked at Sasuke in astonishment, but lucky for Sasuke a mouse scurried by.
Sasuke turned his head back and opened his mouth, words now flowed from it. "Let's train without her."
Kakashi nodded and began walking towards the training grounds.
Naruto sighed and agreed with them, but was still curious to no end as to where Sakura went to. He decided he would go bother Tsunade after training.
