Why? well I got an editer to check the draft befor I post it she sent it back and it came back in Japanenes! second time around it was windings and the third time it was english yay! so yes I thought i should share that. Don't own Naruto so don't ask for money

Reason for moving on

There were a lot of reasons why the whole scene in front of them was wrong. One Ino looked like she just got ran over by an elephant and some how lived. Two, a bag appeared out of bloody nowhere and landed on Naruto and most importantly three, the most annoying person on the face of the planet just came out of that bag.(Gah! And Sakura thought that Naruto had the department covered)

"Is this who I think this is?" asked Tenten as she watched the girl in front of her yell her ass off.

"I would think the village would've wanted to get rid of her." Muttered Sakura

"Get her off of me!" yelled Naruto as he seemed to be running out of air. Then without warning Naruto turned into his 2nd form. Digging his little claws on the ground as he tried to drag himself from under the woman. It seemed even Tenten felt sorry for him as she pushed the women aside and retrieved a flattened Naruto. Tenten handed Naruto over to Hinata as he hid in her arms.

"Who the hell are you people, and why are you looking at me like that?" Yelled the women as she looked at them. Sakura put her hand to her head as she tried her best to block out the yelling. The woman was annoying, Ino's demon was right. Speaking of the devil he looked annoyed, yet he wouldn't look at any of them but Ino. His attention was solely on her. It was so strange to watch as Ino was zoned out and the demon she just bonded with just hunched on her side. "Where is he?" yelled the women getting Sakura's attention.

"Where's who?" asked Sakura

"The Prince where is he?" she demanded both demons whined at her loudness.

"Prince?" asked Tenten "what prince?"

"The Prince you simpleton! The man who I'm going to marry. The sexy…." She kept on blabbing about something or another, the girls stopped listening.

"Who's the Prince fox?" asked Tenten as she poked Naruto. Naruto on the other hand hide farther into Hinata's arms.

"That's what the women call our leader." Muttered Shikamaru as he looked straight at Ino who seemed to have snapped out of her spur.

"Your leader?" asked Sakura

"We're not a bunch of wild animals." Sneered Shikamaru. "We're more then demons after humans, besides we have very low tolerance for your kind so we won't go near you. Bonding is about the only thing your good for." He muttered as Naruto started to growl at Shikamaru as he looked over to the other demon. The look in Naruto's eyes promised death to Shikamaru if he kept talking and as if taking the hint he went quite. Sakura walked over to where the woman was yelling. She stood behind her for a second before she hit the pressure points in the back of her neck and the women went down like a sack of rocks. Tenten lifted an eyebrow at her friend's odd behavior.

"She was annoying me." She stated as she looked at the rest.

"To the point where you had to knock her out?" asked Tenten

"You would've killed her just to shut her up so I just saved your ass. Speaking of asses we need to take miss loud mouth back to the village. It seems that the demon didn't kidnap her after all." She said with sigh.

"Then there is no need to hunt them down?" asked Tenten as she seemed a little depressed at the thought of being denied the hunt.

"No, we'll speak to the elders and explain what happened. There's no need to start a demon hunt over a missing women when she's not missing." Said Sakura as she checked the girls pulse. Looking at her with calculating, eyes Sakura heaved her up. She didn't look like she wanted to touch the girl. Something about the women pissed her off and she didn't know why. It might be her red hair or the fact that this women thought too much of herself. Whatever the reason, Sakura didn't seem to like her one way or the other and dropped her to the ground. Tenten lifted any eyebrow at her behavior.

"Why don't we test out Ino's new demon?" asked Sakura as Tenten got an evil smile on her lips and Hinata tried to hide her laughter. Shikamaru looked at the girls with a glare.

"I'm not a pack mule." He hissed

"But you are a strong demon are you not?" asked Sakura as he growled at her.

"Why don't you carry the girl?" asked Ino as Shikamaru looked over to her.

"I will only do it if you order me to Master." He said it plainly but something about his voice said he would do anything that Ino asked.

"Please take her back to the village." She ordered as Sakura and Tenten high five each other.

"As you wish master." He muttered but it was evident by the look on his face that he would rather eat slugs then carry "It" back to the village. The demon stretched a second and then walked right in front of the girl. He bit the bottom part of his thumb until it bleed and took the small blood drop and placed it on the women's forehead. The blood seemed to take a life of its own since it came to life and made a small x on her forehead. The woman's eyes opened instantly as she looked at Shikamaru. "Get up." He ordered and the women did as she was told. She had a blank look in her eyes as Shikamaru ordered "walk to the village." She did just that. She started walking back to the village as if it was her own free will. The girls followed her to make sure that she followed Shikamaru's orders, which she did with scary perfection. When the girls got to the village the women's parents were waiting for them.

"Karin!" Yelled the women as she hugged the annoyance as known now by Karin. Sakura looked over to the demon and smirked.

"She said to take the girl back to the village but she never stated how." Shikamaru stated before Sakura could point out that he didn't carry her. His wits were something unmatched that much was for sure. This demon was strong when it came to the mind but rather lacking when it came to physical attacks Sakura noted. Sakura looked at the other demon in Hinata's arms and wondered. She never saw Naruto display any physical attacks nor any strategy. Was he just a cute thing Hinata kept around? Was he completely useless?

Like sensing Sakura's thoughts about him, Naruto looked right over to her. His blue eyes seem to glow with a strange flame as he looked over to Shikamaru. Sakura followed his line of sight and looked at Shikamaru. He too had the glow in his eyes. The glow that told you something was different about those two demons than the rest. Was it because they were bonded to humans? Sakura was so deep into her thoughts that she didn't notice Tenten talking to her until she waved her hand in front of her face.

"Are you listing to me Sakura?" she asked as she looked at her friend with worry.

"Ah, sorry what was it you were saying?" she asked as Tenten sighed.

"The elder wishes to speak to us." She told her slowly to make sure she was listening.

"Now?" asked Sakura as she looked at Naruto again.

"Yes, now."

"Okay let's go." Said Sakura as she started to walk off only to have Hinata and Ino stay put.

"Sakura," started Hinata as both she and Tenten stopped. "I have to talk to Ino." She stated. Sakura lift an eyebrow at this. "Alone" muttered Hinata as a red blush found its way to her face. Tenten seemed to understand while Sakura looked a little lost but brushed it off.

"Fine, make sure to keep an eye out for trouble. Tenten and I will go talk to the elders." Muttered Sakura as she and Tenten started to walk off. "I wonder what that was all about?" asked Sakura as Tenten shrugged at the question.

"Who knows?" But she knew and was not going to say a word until she was certain. Sakura will find out eventually when she finds the demon she is looking for. Until then, Tenten will stay quite and keep the information she learned that day to herself. For now, things will just have to plan out on their own time. Tenten looked over to Sakura who looked devoid of all emotions. Her face was cold as her eyes looked a bit dead. Very rarely did they get a glimpse of the old Sakura. The Sakura that use to laugh and enjoyed everything around her, that was before all of it happened. Now she was determined, cold and calculating, nothing like the friend she use to know. If it wasn't for that monster things would be different.

She wouldn't have to be on this journey. She would've been happy. The kindness she once had now lay dormant in her burdened soul. She was trapped and nothing any of the girls did could free her. Tenten sighed slowly as she looked at the ground. Someone some where could help her friend. Someone that was unknown to them now, but someone.

Hopefully that someone would come soon.

Someone…

Someone…

"May the wind carry my wish." Muttered Tenten as a small breeze passed by her and her friend. Like a slow melody it played around them, before it became nothing. The day will go slowly but the time still ticked away. Time was short and Sakura…

Sakura would be executed in 10 days.

And there wasn't a damn thing any of them could do.
