Chapter 4 – Kyuubi

They found him, Orochimaru, easily…. Ironically he was looking for them

Rose got a little angry, seeing him.

'Fudging hell,' Rose growled (A/N: she actually didn't use the word FUDGING if you know what I mean)

'Who taught you, your manners?'

Rose grinned to Sakura

'Guess.'

Then Rose bolted towards Orochimaru, then disappeared, leaving both Sakura and Naruto blinking

Rose was running towards him, both of them saw when she reappeared, she was making several hand movements then her hand glowed blue as she went to punch Orochimaru—

When he hit her first.

She was flung back into the bushes, when her body exploded into mist

An evil giggle came from behind Orochimaru, as he turned around, a fist went flying into him, he retaliated by punching her, her body flew and exploded into mist

Both Sakura and Naruto had enough of watching, and took of into different directions then would round in him when they got closer.

Naruto felt someone push him down, as he looked up he heard,

'Down…! Leap Frog…!!' as he saw Rose jump over him, leapfrog style, then cart wheeled with one hand while the other reached for a kunai, which went for Orochimaru.

She missed, so did Sakura

They both heard Rose growl

'Fudge you.'

Then they saw both her fists prowl into Orochimaru's gut, which was when they saw several blackened streaks across her face

'That's not good.' Naruto said then started to run

For some reason, Orochimaru disappeared, and Rose, left falling

'Rose!'

Naruto caught her, with Sakura running up next to him

'Rose!' Sakura yelled as Naruto shook her a little

'She's not gonna want to ta—'

Rose groaned and looked up at Naruto

'…Dad…?'

Naruto blinked; then decided to humour her

'Yeah?'

'I'm sorry…'

Naruto frowned, 'what for?'

'I… used… it, again…'

Naruto looked to Sakura, who had no clue what was going on, shrugged. When they looked back to Rose, she had passed out again.

'Okay… I vote, going back to the hospital now.'

Naruto somehow got Rose on his back, like a piggyback ride. Then they walked back in the direction to Konoha.

'I don't understand….'

Naruto looked to Sakura

'Huh?'

'What was she saying sorry for?'

'I think it was because she used Kyuubi's chakra…'

'How could she-?!'

'I haven't figured that part out yet. But, the streaks on her face-' Naruto hosted Rose a little so Sakura could see her face, and the lightened streaks on her face, that were now showing, because Sakura hadn't seen them before, '-are the same as mine. And I have Kyuubi, so somehow she has Kyuubi.'

When Naruto looked over to Sakura again, she was frowning as if she didn't understand a word

'…Sorry, Sakura-chan...'

She looked at him, and smiled

'Nee! I'm trying to understand, that's all I can do!'

Naruto nodded the best he could and smiled to her

'At least you try.'
