A SasoSaku Story
Chpt. 3
"Let's go. You're coming with us and no questions from here on." Deidara commanded.
Sakura only glared at him, but still complied. Deidara nudged her to tell her to move, but that didn't help the shakiness she was already feeling. Her legs practically went to jell-o and she was going to crash down, but someone luckily caught her arm at the last moment.
Looking up she saw those hazel eyes again. "Be more careful next time?" he said with a slight smirk, making Inner Sakura again say some very unintelligible things.
Sasori however continued to keep hold of Sakura's arm until they made it to a giant wooden door. She didn't know what to make of it; either he didn't want her to flee or he was helping her.
Sasori was relieved to finally get to the doors. He was glad Deidara didn't notice the arm holding as they walked over here and the fact there was no usual bickering. He lightly tapped on the door and a raspy 'come in' followed, signaling him to open the door. As the 3 stepped through, Sasori could feel tension take over for some reason. Sasori looked over at the pink haired girl and saw her aqua marine eyes staring right back, trying not to show her slight worry. Sasori felt a pinch in his chest, but nothing was there when he looked down to check.
'That's…strange. Must be another glitch.'
Sakura was really starting to worry as she was forced to step closer to a strange figure, that was majorly wired up on different objects. The voice sounded like an old man as it spoke, "Sasori and Deidara…this is the women?"
"Yes, Master Pein. She is from the Hidden Leaf and is the one that is friends with the biju. She is also Lady Tsunade's current apprentice." Deidara practically recited.
While Sakura smirked at Deidara's whipped behavior, a woman with blue hair stepped out of the shadows. Sakura didn't even know this until she started to tend to the misshapen figure.
'My head must've been banged up badly if I'm this slow to see things.' Sakura was thinking as she saw everyone turn to her suddenly. The figure was now sitting up.
"Uhhh." Sakura could only muster out.
"I asked you…if you are a capable healer?" the man Sakura could now see, that had black hair in front of his face had croaked.
"Um…yes I would say so. I-I mean I'm still…or was in training still…" Sakura trailed off a little now fiddling with the hem of her skirt.
"I've seen her heal sir. She has the ability." Sasori spoke making Sakura's brain finally click.
'They must want me to heal him! But he's…'
"Come here Miss…Sakura. Please tell me yourself if you can heal me…and how long," the man named Pein told her wearily.
Sakura stepped toward him, seeing the horrible condition he was in.
'How could he have survived at all? His fight with Naruto nearly destroyed everything as it was.' Sakura still examined the body thoroughly and tried to calculate how long it would take to heal with her supply of chakra.
"Well…Miss Sakura?" he croaked again.
"Ummm…well with the daily supply of chakra I have it would take 3 months. Especially with the condition I'm in right now." Sakura finished slightly unsure about this still.
Everyone was silent for a little bit until the blue haired woman spoke.
"Make it 5 months, since you will be a bit low on chakra from missions you will be on."
"And…I-I apologize about the state…you're in," Pein spoke to her again, "It was only to weaken you." he finished, handing the woman something. She walked over in front of Sakura and before she could do anything, the woman put a black choker necklace around her neck. "This is…how should I say…our insurance of you." Sakura placed her hand on the cold metal on her neck.
"It's a tracker. And if you do try to run with it, it will eat away at your energy." the blue haired woman said dead serious.
"My name is Konan by the way. Your room, you have already seen and will be staying in."
At this point Sakura couldn't say anything even if she wanted to. Everything started to spin again and she soon found herself engulfed in cold darkness.
( Once again she is left in darkness….what's next? Stay tuned!) lol
