Chapter 4
A/N: So I'm really dedicated to getting this story done. To be honest, I don't really have any idea where this story will go. I just close my eyes and type what comes to mind. Kind of like free writing I suppose. I don't know. Well I present you with Chapter four. Enjoy!
Beads of sweat shimmered in the sunsets rays. Emerald eyes glistened with determination. Pink hair swayed side to side in the warm summer breeze. Sakura's chest heaved in and out in perfect rhythm. "I think over did it a bit," Sakura giggled out as she stretched down on to the warm earthen dirt. Her creamy skin was littered with dirt and sweat. As Sakura reclined into the earth she looked up at the sky that was no turning colors of pink, orange, purple, and dark blue. The first star of the night was already out shinning brightly. Sakura smiled as she remembered the many wishes she had made on that star. A cool wind blew and Sakura shivered. Not only was the wind cool to her skin but it also carried an evil feeling. Suddenly Sakura noticed that she was being watched. With al of the ninja training you would think she could keep calm and collected. Oh no, Sakura's muscles tensed up and her mind started to spin with wild idea's of her death. As Sakura lifted up her charka drained body off the ground she scanned the area using her peripheral vision. She didn't see anything. But that didn't mean everything was ok.
The walk home was one like no other. She felt the evil feeling every time she wind blew. The streets were dark expect for the street lamps. Everyone was at home cooking dinner with their families. Fear had tight clutches on her heart and mind. Her body knew the way home thankfully. But she didn't really want to go home. She knew once she was home who ever was following her would surely kill her. After all this wasn't the first time a village has sent someone to kidnap her. By now she thought she'd be used to the kidnapping attempts. But she wasn't. There was only one place she could go and one place only. Somewhere where she knew she would be guarded and safe through the night. Sakura thanked her feet they also knew the way to Naruto's apartment. He still lived as if he were a poor ninja. He refused to live in luxury. That had made him really popular with the village folk.
Sakura remembered clear as day when Naruto was appointed Hokage. He had been so proud and he was practically beaming with joy. That was also the day he proposed to Hinata. She had fainted and remained unconscious for many hours. When she woke up she said she would. And when Naruto kissed her…well she fainted again. But now that Sakura thought about it she had felt the same evil in the wind that day. Thinking back to all the important moments in Naruto and her lives she had felt an evil shift in the wind each important day. The day Naruto had turned 21 there was a horrible lightening storm. The wind had carried an evil presence with it. On the day that she was deemed the world's best medic the slight autumn's breeze held an evil presence to it. Her feet moved faster. She grabbed her chest making sure she wasn't having a heart attack.
Finally Sakura arrived at Naruto's door and her hands pounded on the door as hard as she could. "Naruto, its Sakura! Let me in please," Sakura shouted with panic in her voice. The door slowly creaked opened and Sakura flung herself inside hugging onto Naruto tightly. Tears stung her eyes and her vision blurred slightly.
"S-Sakura what's wrong," Naruto question completely dumb folded by the woman's display of self control. His hands were held into the air so he wouldn't anger her with his touch.
Eventually Sakura pulled away from him sniffling. "Naruto, I think someone has been following us around since the day we both became jounin," Sakura explained.
"Say what? No Sakura. If someone was following me I would know. Believe it," Naruto said using his normal punch line.
"Naruto are you nuts? How can you not feel it right now? Open the window and let the breeze run past you. It's in the wind," Sakura noted while she opened a small window by Naruto's bed.
Sure enough soon after Naruto stuck his head out of the window like an idiot and let the breeze touch his face he pulled away back into the house. His blue and normally happy eyes were now wide and held panic. He looked over at Sakura in disbelief. "How can this be? I would know if there was an intruder in Konoha. I don't' understand. I can feel their chakra. Why haven't I noticed this before," Naruto questioned himself.
"Can I stay here for the night Naruto? I don't feel safe anywhere else. I also know that you will protect me with your life. This person has been following me around for two or three days now. I feel them in the wind. I'm scared," Sakura chocked out between stifled sobs.
Naruto being the gentleman he was wrapped his arms around Sakura and held her close. He couldn't leave his best friend in her time of need. So of course he let her shower and take his bed. Well the shared the bed. They cuddled closely all night. He had lent her some of his sleeping clothes. They both laughed at out ridiculously huge they were on her. Even though Naruto was bound to be married to Hinata he liked the feel of Sakura's body against his own. Sakura had a different feel to her body than Hinata did. Sakura's body was more toned with muscle than Hinata. But Sakura's skin was soft. Even though Sakura was made of muscle she still had her hour glass figure and feminine touch. Sakura's chest was developed to the perfect size. Hinata's chest was over flowing with cleavage. Which Naruto liked, but sometimes he wished Hinata had just a little bit smaller boobs. Sakura butt was rounded to the perfect size unlike Hinata who had no butt to grab during sex. Naruto shook his head and snapped out of it. He wouldn't compare his fiancé to Sakura. Even though he was feeling pretty crappy that he already did that just 2 seconds ago. Sakura was asleep that much was for sure. Her breathing was even and her body was relaxed completely against Naruto's. Feeling sleep creep up into him Naruto yawned and closed his eyes drifting into the bliss of sleep.
