Chapter 4: In Death's Grip
"Hey! What did you do to her?!" a familiar voice growled.
"She-e fainted" another growl was heard.
"It's all your foul you stupid leaches!"
"Reina, come down!"
"Get your dog out of here, un!"
"Don't tell me what to do! You stupid blood sucker"
"Enough!" A velvet voice hissed and Sakura started cracking here eyes. Trying to adjust to the light Sakura blinked a few times, feeling the sharp pain in her neck. A second past and she realized that she was on the ground, everyone was staring at her. Turning her head to the side Sakura looked at her blue haired friend.
"What happened?" she asked still dizzy from the fall. Her head was pounding and her vision still was not clear.
"You fain… fainted" Hinata shuttered. From the tone Sakura could say that she was crying. Trying to smile softly she comforted her friend.
"It's ok Hinata…" She said before turning to her other side and trying to stand up. Unfortunately her legs weren't listening and she ended on the ground again.
"Sakura chan, are you ok?!" Naruto yelled kneeling to her. His face looked serious and worried.
"It's fine Naruto, it's just my luck…" She tried to laugh but the sharp pain reminded about itself again. With Naruto's help she was on her feet again, but the blonde still didn't leg go of her, thinking that she could fall to the ground any second.
"Naruto I'm ok" The pink head reassured him. He though for a minute before nodding and letting her go.
"Oh, by the way! Here are the Sabaku's!" He seemed cheerful as always when he dragged her to the family. Trying not to stare at the dark red head Sakura kept her eyes on the ground all the time.
"Hey guys!" Naruto finally shouted when they were just a meter away from them. "This is Sakura, my best friend!" He pushed her in the front, smiling goofy. Once again Sakura felt her heart racing.
"Hello there, un." The blonde girl with sea blue eyes stepped closer to her. "I'm Deidara, nice to meet you, un" Instantly Sakura smiled herself, somehow all the worry was gone.
"I'm Temari" He honey blonde smirked to Sakura. "You hit your head pretty hard back there, are you sure you're ok?" Sakura blushed crimson red and nodded. Temari smiled to her, when a boy with brown hair and face paint stepped forward.
"Kankuro" He said smiling to her, shaking his hand Sakura smiled back. Pointing to the redhead Kankuro spoke again. "That's Sasori and Gaara" Sakura felt butterflies in her stomach when she looked at the younger red head.
"Gaara…"
Like the last when Sakura looked at him, his mood didn't seem any better. Gaara looked at her with a hostile, frustrated look. His face looked like he just smelled something bad. Not sparing another glance to Sakura, he turned on his heal and left.
Sakura felt tears stinging her eyes, and anger rouse in the bottom pits of her soul.
"What did I do anyway?! Shannaro!!!" Her Inner self screamed frustrated herself.
"Whoa, what's up with him?" Naruto looked surprised at his leaving friend. His mood seemed to lighten up, when somebody announced that the football match is going to begin. Saying a quick goodbye to the girls the rest of Sabaku's and Naruto left. TenTen was not far behind and Sakura was left with Hinata again. Looking around herself Sakura spotted a girl with pink hair chatting with a blond. A thought popped in her head and Sakura turned to Hinata.
"Hey, when I fainted…" Hinata looked at her confused. "You know, did any of them were by?" Sakura pointed her thump to the girls. Hinata looked a little surprised.
"Yea-ah, how do you know-w?" She asked eyeing the pink head girl, Sakura just shrugged.
"I don't know, I heard them" Hinata laughed silently.
"Yup, they-y sure ar-re loud…" Sakura smiled to her friend and nodded. Turning around she was met by reina's stare, but instantly turned her gaze back to Hinata.
"Are you o-ok?" Hinata asked concerned, when Sakura yelped of the sharp in her neck. She seemed to forget about it.
"Yes, Hinata" She tried to smile but the pain was just getting worst. Trying to not to show it, she changed the subject.
"So Hinata, have you lived here all of your life?" The blue haired beauty shook her head.
"No-o, I moved here three years ago-o" Instantly Sakura felt relief, that she was not the only one who moved here.
"From where?" Curiosity caught Sakura.
"Japan" Hinata answered not shuttering. "We-e moved, because my-y father lived here most of his li-ife" Sakura nodded her head listening to what the blue haired girl had to say.
"And-d what about y-you?" Sakura looked at the ground and Hinata immediately regretted the question. "If you don-t want to tell I-I don't mind…" But Sakura shook her head smiling sadly.
"No, it's ok Hinata. It's just a long story…" Hinata nodded her head encouraging the pink head girl to go on. "It's because my father never got over my mother. You now, he said he couldn't bare it, because we are so alike…." Sakura felt the tears once again in her eyes. Hinata put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry-y…." She said sadly but Sakura shook her head again, gulping the tears down.
"It's ok, we're still family!" She said enthusiastic and smiled brightly, hiding the sorrow deep in her heart. Hinata smiled shyly and nodded her head. Soon the girls were chatting like old friends, sharing their memories and thought's. Hinata didn't stutter so much and Sakura always smiled, encouraging her.
After the football match was finally over Naruto was cheering his head off. A big grin was placed on his face when he made his way to the girls. TenTen was behind him with a smile of her own. Sitting next to Sakura Naruto grabbed a big bottle of water and started drinking it. Sakura eyed the blue haired girl that was playing with her fingers and blushing furiously.
"Wow! That was a great match!" Naruto announced smiling brightly. TenTen snickered by his side.
"Yeah! You should have seen Naruto fall" She winked at the girls when Naruto blushed from embarrassment.
"Hey that was an accident! Sasuke teme pushed me!" He yelled making Sakura giggle. TenTen rolled her eyes.
"Yeah whatever…" She laughed before snatching the water bottle from Naruto's hands. Crossing his hands Naruto glared at the brunette. Sakura bit her lip trying not to laugh when TenTen poured the water on him. Hinata was staying silent.
"Hey!" He yelled before snatching the bottle out of her hands, ready for revenge. TenTen started backing away with a nervous smile.
"Hey look at the time!" She pointed to her invisible watch. "Have to go, find Lee and Neji before they kill each other!" TenTen laughed nervously before making her escape. Sakura couldn't hold on any longer and cracked laughing, bringing the blonde's attention to her.
"Eh Sakura chan! You have to see the trophy!" Naruto grinned widely before catching her wrist and trying to pull her up. Glancing at her blue haired friend Sakura caught the sad look on her face and stopped Naruto immediately.
"Naruto, I still feel a little dizzy, why don't you take Hinata instead?" Sakura smiled to him, praying the God that he didn't see through her lie. Lucky for her, that Naruto was too happy to even argue. Grabbing the shy Huyga by her wrist, he started pulling her blabbing about something.
"Come on Hinata! You have to see it!"
Smiling to herself Sakura waved for the two, before they disappeared in the crowd leaving her completely alone. Looking around for some sort of life she found none.
"Way to go!" Inner yelled sarcastically. Sakura sighed before standing up. Looking again, she spotted a red head leaning to a tree. Her heart started racing again, when he looked at her. Well, more like glared… The sorrow returned and she felt like crying now. Controlling her emotions she started making her way past him. Gaara seemed to stiffen when they almost touched. Trying to ignore him, like he ignored her Sakura started running deeper in to the forest. She ran not even thinking were she was going, just letting her feet to decide. A feeling that someone invisible was following her got even stronger with every step. Not ever looking back she ran leaving the camp behind her back. She ran not thinking of stopping when her lungs screamed with need for air. Concentrating on her feet and trying not to trip, Sakura didn't see what was coming in her way until it was too late. Tripping on her own two feet she hit her head to the ground. After that she felt like she was rolling. Like something was tearing her skin and when finally Sakura dared to open her eyes she found herself in the middle of the road. Looking a little to her left Sakura saw a hill that she just came from. Sighing she could feel the cuts and bruises on her arms and legs.
"Just wonderful…" Sakura thought, not knowing that it's just going to become much worse. Rolling painfully on her side she tried to stand up, but felt a sharp pain in her leg. It was either broken or twisted. Glaring at her foot she tried to stand again, but this time she was stopped by the pain in her head. Sighing once again, Sakura lied on the road, resting.
"What I'm supposed to do know?" Sakura thought before she heard a strange sound. Lifting her head from the ground, Sakura looked for its source. Hearing the sound again Sakura got wide eyed from terror. This time it was louder and she recognized in instantly. Looking to her other side, she saw a big, red truck going fast her way. She didn't even have time to blink when it was just meters away.
Closing her eyes, she heard the tire's screech when the driver tried to stop the truck. But it was too late now… The truck was too close. Sighing Sakura waited for the pain to come…
Whoa! Is Sakura going to die? I don't know. Maybe?
