Chapter 3
We find ourselves now on a train on route to Konoha. Naruto is writing a few things I'm a book with is picture on it with and ink pen, while little Tonton is beside him on her back whining a bit. He dips the pen into the ink and brings it up letting it drip. He uses the feather to tickle Tonton's belly as she growls in appreciation. Naruto looks up at Sasuke as he puts a luggage bag above Sakura's head as Sakura looks at Tonton. Naruto clears his throat a bit. Sasuke is about to sit back down until a growl stops him.
"Mutt gets the window seat?" He says looking down at the dog and then to Sakura. Tonton barks happily laying her head back down just as Sasuke is moving to sit next to Sakura. "Stop fiddling with that thing and sit up straight. Remember," scolds Sasuke, "you're her highness Sakura."
"How is it that you know what princess do or don't do?" She scoffs as she looks at him.
"That's for me to know." Smirks Sasuke.
"Teme be nice." Says Naruto.
"Shut it dobe."
"Right." Says Sakura rolling her eyes.
"Look Saki," starts Sasuke, "I'm just trying to help ok?"
Naruto looks up from what he's doing to see Sasuke leaning over Sakura a bit and rolls his eyes at Sasuke's body language.
"Sasuke," says Sakura sitting up straight at the edge of her seat, "do you really think I'm royalty?"
"You know I do." Says Sasuke hopefully. I really hope you are, thought Sasuke. I mean, you're an exact replica. The only thing is you don't have no memories at all to help. I just hope our hunch is right with you.
Naruto looks at Sasuke as he says that and thinks the same thing. Both are hoping it's her, while Sakura dreams that it's her.
"Then stop bossing me around." States Sakura bringing both Naruto and Sasuke out of their trance.
Naruto gaufs, by quickly covers it up to make it seem like he was coughing. Sasuke looked at him and raised an eyebrow to let him know he wasn't buying it, while Sakura had a concerned look on her face.
"Argh!" Says Sasuke.
"She certainly has spunk, doesn't she Sasuke?" Teases Naruto.
"Yea, I hate that in a woman." Grumbles Sasuke.
Sakura quickly sticks out her tongue while Sasuke isn't looking, but quickly puts it away as Sasuke is turning back around. Naruto sees the exchange and quietly laughs to himself. Oh, Kakashi would have a field day if he saw how the great Sasuke can't tame a girl, thought Naruto. Naruto pulls out a paper and starts tallying again how many wins each person has in an argument. If this keeps going, poor teme will be embarrassed to see how many arguments he lost. I can't wait!
Sasuke clears his throat before talking. "Look, I think we got off on the wrong foot."
"Well so do I." Says Sakura briefly looking away from the book she was reading. "But I appreciate your apology."
"Ok. . .wait, apology?" Sasuke asked in disbelief. "Who the hell said anything about an apology. I was just saying that we–"
"Please, don't talk anymore." Says Sakura with a slightly annoyed look on her face. "Ok? It's only gonna upset me even more."
"Fine!" He says. "I'll be quiet if you will."
"Alright. I'll be quiet."
"Fine."
"Fine."
"Fine."
"Fine." Says Sakura as she has the last word.
Sasuke quickly huffs and looks out the window. Thinking about anything and everything. If they were doing right, what could go wrong, but mostly if they have the right girl. My heart says we do, but my mind is skeptical. And here father thought I would be the one to know her the most. Just because I looked at her from afar whenever we visited and I was always in servants clothing whenever we bumped into each other, doesn't mean I would know her. It just means I'll be able to identify her through her appearance. I don't know her. The only thing I do know is her love of everything beautiful, her love of family, but mostly her love of singing and dancing whenever she pleases. Saki looks like her and her name sounds like an abbreviation of what we always called her, but I can't help but wonder. . .is this her? Mother would have been better for this. She would know her more than any of us can. And Naruto, thought Sasuke, he has somewhat an idea, but doesn't know either. I mean, he's only really talked to her around Hinata. And even then it was a brief greeting. Why didn't we brig Hinata along? Right! King Hisashi wouldn't appreciate his eldest galavanting through the whole country with just to men. Sigh, in words or Shikamaru, this is such a drag.
"You think you're gonna miss it?" Sakura interrupts Sasuke from his thought.
"What? Your talking?"
"No!" She says. "Sound?"
"Well believe it or not Saki, I wasn't born in Sound."
"Oh really?" She asks intrigued. "Where then?"
"That will be for you to find out over time, my sweet." Sasuke smirks.
"Humph!" Says Sakura dejectedly leaning further into her seat. If he's not from Sound, then he can either be from Ame, Getsu, Hoshi, Ishi, Iwa, Kiri, Kumo, Kusa, Shimo, Taki, Tani, Tsuki, Yuga, Yuki, Yume, Suna or Konoha. All these main cities in these countries. Which one? She thought. "Wanna narrow it down?"
"Which ones have you come up with?"
"Ame, Getsu, Hoshi, Ishi, Iwa, Kiri, Kumo, Kusa, Shimo, Taki, Tani, Tsuki, Yuga, Yuki, Yume, Suna or Konoha, where we're heading right now." I stated.
"Seems you thought about this," he smirked, "but I'll be nice. I'll narrow it down to two. From there based of whatever knowledge you have you choose."
"Ok."
"Suna or Konoha."
With that Sasuke went back to looking out the window.
Gee, that makes it so much more better. . .NOT! I mean the way he acts it can go both way, but he Naruto seem close so they're probably from the same place which means Naruto is also from one of those two. But he seems like he can come from Konohagakure instead of Sunagakure, with how bright and kind and open he is. But I know Konoha is ruled by the Uchihas. All known for black eyes and black hair, but I've never really seen one to even look for similarities. Gah! Sakura runs her forehead in frustration while Sasuke looks at her from the corner of his eye, a slight smirk playing on his lips. All this is making my head hurt. I'll just have to observe and choose later on. Right now, there are more important matters at hand. Finding out who I am. If I'm this princess or not. Sigh, what a pain!
"So are you planning on make Konoha your new home?" She asked.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, and I'm assuming, you're probably not going to go back where you came from, so are you going to make Konoha your new home?"
"What is it with you and homes?" Asked Sasuke baffled.
"Well for one, it's something any normal person wants." She declares getting up while Sasuke puts his feet up on the other side. "And another thing, it's something that. . .oh you know what forget it!" She finishes as she stands on the bench and walks over his feet.
"Fine!" Says Sasuke moving himself up more.
"Argh!" Sakura growls annoyed. The door to the room opens and in steps Naruto. "Oh thank heavens you're here. Can you please remove him from my sight?" She says pointing to Sasuke.
"Teme what have you done now?" Asks Naruto amused at their behavior.
"Me!?" He asks shocked. "It's her!"
"Hah!" Yells Sakura as she walks out the room and into the hallway.
"Teme," starts Naruto, "watch it."
"Dobe, I don't know about you, but she doesn't seem like her. Well personality wise. Sakura was always so kind."
"Teme I know you've seen her from afar and all, but there were few occasions when I would do something to upset Hinata when we were kids and I would have to face Sakura's wrath. This reminds me of those times. It seems like we have the wrong girl, but in my heart I know we don't. Sasuke," says Naruto, "for once listen to your heart and not that dumb brain of yours."
"My dumb brain?" Asked Sasuke smirking. "Have to looked in the mirror?"
"Hey!" Said Naruto, not getting offended because he knows this is Sasuke. "So is there some unspoken attraction?"
"Wha!?" Wide eyed Sasuke asks. "To that skinny brat? No! Are you nuts?"
"I was only asking."
"Naruto you're the only one that knows of my feelings for Sakura."
"Yes and if Saki is her?"
"Then we may have a chance, if she'll have me." Sighs Sasuke. "But if she's not her, and Sakura is dead my fathers council will have me marrying someone else. They only considered Sakura because of the relationship between our parents."
"Yes, but Sasuke your parents will be behind you no matter what. Think about it." Says Naruto letting Tonton.
"Yea, whatever." Mumbles Sasuke stepping out of the room and closing the door.
Outside the train we see a trail of Orochimaru's ghouls nearing the train. They quickly get in through an opening at the top of the train.
Naruto was walking behind a couple looking at their papers when he hears the male say, "Last month the traveling papers were blue, but not they are red." Naruto gulps and quickly walks back to the room they have.
"This is what I loath about this government," says Naruto as Sasuke looks up, "everything's in red."
"Red?" Asks Sasuke. Son of a–what else can go wrong. Stupid Itachi didn't tell me about the change in advance. "Damn! Itachi didn't tell me a thing. I should've been more careful."
"It's not his or your fault teme." States Naruto. But I propose we move to the baggage car quickly before the guards come."
"I propose we get off this damn train!" Says Sasuke handing Naruto some of the luggage.
Tonton starts barking as soon as she sees one of Orochimaru's ghoul.
"Hey," says Sasuke shaking Sakura slightly. Only to be hit straight in the nose. "Ow!"
"Oh sorry! I thought you were–oh it you. Then it's fine." She says.
"Come on. Let's go." He says pulling her up. He soon starts walking out the door.
"Where are we going?" She asks putting on her jacket.
"I think you broke my nose." Says Sasuke as he keeps walking while rubbing his nose.
"Men are such babies!" Mumbles Sakura as she follows along.
Soon they reach the baggage car.
"Yes. Perfect!" Says Sasuke placing down the luggage.
"She'll freeze." Says Naruto
"She can thaw out in Konoha." Says Sasuke.
"The baggage car?" Asks Sakura amused. "There wouldn't be any problems with out papers now would there mistro?"
"Of course not your grace," says Sasuke, "it's just that I would hate to see you forced to mingle with all those commoners."
Tonton starts barking wildly as she sees the same green glow from earlier. The ghouls quickly flew to where the baggage cart was held with the rest of the train and snapped it off. Soon the baggage cart was left all on its own.
"Woah!" They said as they were pushed against the wall of the carriage when it broke.
"What was that?" Asked Sasuke as he fell on Sakura.
"I don't know." Said Naruto. "But there goes the dining car."
"Get off!" Said Sakura as she kicked Sasuke.
"I'm trying!" He said. "Ow! Stop kicking."
"Uh. . .Sasuke," said Naruto.
"What?" Demanded Sasuke.
"I think someone has flambéed our engines!" He said as he looked ahead at the engine catching on fire.
"Somethings not right." Said Sasuke. He too kid his coat and started climbing. "Wait here. I'm going to go check it out."
"Are you crazy!?" Asked Sakura. She turns to Naruto, "Well go after him and stop him!"
"I can't." He says. "Once teme makes up his mind, there's no stopping him."
Sasuke soon comes back. "There's no one driving it and it's getting way to hot. We're going to have to jump."
"Jump?" She asks as Sasuke opens the door. "Yea sure! After you pretty boy." She finishes as they see how high up they are.
"Fine! Then we're going to have to unlock the car from the engine."
Quickly the ghouls rushed to melt the locks together to prevent them from unhooking it. Sasuke quickly goes and kneels down.
"I need a wrench or something. Come on! Quickly dobe!"
"I'm hurrying!" Says Naruto as he quickly pulls out a wrench. "Here!"
Sasuke starts to bang on it. Only to have it break on the end. To tint barks at a box of explosives and Sakura quickly picks up one and lights it up.
"Come on! There has to be something else!" Only to have Sakura quickly hand him the lit explosive. "That'll work." He smirks.
He quickly places it in between and grabs Sakura's hand and they all rush to hide behind some luggage. "Go, go, go!" Soon they hear an explosion.
"What do they teach you in those orphanages?" Asks Sasuke as Sakura and Naruto covers their heads while Sasuke uses his body to cover his head and Sakura.
"The breaks won't budge!" Naruto tells Sasuke while Sasuke puts out a small flame.
"Turn harder!" He says. Naruto does only to have it end up breaking. "It's ok. We have a lot of track left." Sasuke tells Sakura trying to ease her worry.
Soon a green glow appears only to have this evil creature break the train bridge over a river. They look up only to see the tracks broken. They all gasped.
"You were saying?" Said Sakura.
"Grr!" Growled Sasuke. He quickly run and picks up a chain. "I have an idea Naruto! Quickly and help me out."
Unfortunately Naruto trips and gets himself stuck. Sasuke quickly climbs over the edge.
"Hand me the chain." Demanded Sasuke. Sakura hands it to him. "Not you." Said Sasuke.
"Naruto is busy at the moment." She states smirking; Sasuke smirking right back.
He quickly ties it around something, but soon something breaks off and nearly hits him.
"No, no!" He says reaching for something.
Quickly Sakura grabs a hold of his outstretched hand and helps pull him up. They both stare at each other and then to the tree that breaks.
"And to think that could've been you." States Sakura.
"If we live through this. . .remind me to thank you." Sasuke tells Sakura.
"Trust me I will." She says.
"Here goes nothing. Brace yourselves." Says Sasuke as he drops the part of the chain with the hook.
It flies about and eventually hooks on the rail, but soon the rail starts to come up failing to stop the train. Fortunately for them, the cart turns on its side. The guys grabs the bags quickly and Naruto has a hold of Tonton, while Sakura links her arms with both men.
"Well this is our stop!" She says.
They all look at each other briefly before taking that leap and jumping off.
"Ah!" They say as they land in a pile of snow.
The engine and the cart soon fell off the tracks and onto the floor below and the blew up.
"I hate trains." Says Sasuke to his companions. "Remind me never to get on a train again."
Orochimaru on the other hand is looking at them through a green fog of sorts. He starts to rub his forehead in frustration.
"Gah!" Says Orochimaru as he shakes his head, letting out all his lent up frustration.
"Wow," says Kabuto, "take it easy their. Your I you should really watch your blood pressure master." He states. "My cousin, Izzy, yea he just up and stopped. Stress is a killer. And he's a fruit bat, no meat."
"How could they let her escape?"
"I guess your right. I guess this relic's broken." Says Kabuto as he tries to pick up the relic.
"I sold my life, my soul everything for this. And you almost destroyed it." Says Orochimaru chocking Kabuto once more.
"I get! You break it you buy it!"
"See that you don't forget."
"Oh yea sure. Blame the bat. What are we easy targets?" Whines Kabuto.
""Sakura sir," he says getting up, "just wishing I could do the job for you sir. I'd give her a hah! Then a hyah! Then a who-ah!" Kabuto said making karate moves. "And then I'd kick her sir."
"Oh don't worry, I have something else in mind. Something inticing. . .something more evil." Says Orochimaru running a long fingernail down the glass of the relic.
