Chapter four: Witch
After five days,Sasuke's worst nightmare finally happened!
They were out of water.
Sasuke was standing above a big hill,shading his eyes with one hand,desprate to find some water.Three days of walking toward north and still no sign of water or any other living being!Sasuke was beginning to think they were the only beings of this damn freaking desert and Sadly none of them was prepared to fall in the middle of this damn freaking desert!
Sasuke knew he had to hurry.Actually he was already dead worried.
No matter how strong Kuro was,he still wasn't used to this kind of climate!
He was panting heavily and had more troubles in walking and sliding from sand hills.In Sasuke's amaze, the fox was in a better condition,though he wasn't hyper anymore.
Somehow Sasuke knew the fox is also worried for the horse.Sasuke had finally given up on finding what the fox really was,though he was sure the fox was not even a bit normal.That dream…he still could remember every single detail of it and he was no longer sure the problem was his mind alone but for now, their hands were full enough with more concerning matters.
Sasuke was swirling around himself on top of a hill.
sand…sand….sand….damn
Fox slowly came near him and nuzzled his leg.Sasuke looked down at him:
"I don't see anything…its all sand…sand…and more sand!If things keep going this way…I don't know what the hell I can do anymore!"
Fox kept staring at him.then slowly turned around and glanced at the horse,then the sun,sands,he was looking …confused?
Sasuke was watching him the whole time:
"What?What is it?Recently u are always looking confused!
Fox stared at him again and Sasuke stared back,thinking how much the fox was humanlike,almost like he was…
Fox scratched his face.He looked like he wasn't sure about what to say…or even to say anything!
Sasuke said: "Look…I know…You are not a normal fox…Whatever you are is not an animal and well,we need to slowly begin to trust each other.so I was wondering …if you can help…I mean any special powers or….Do you have such things?"
Fox stared at him with his big blue eyes.Sasuke gulped.
This damn creature is too cute…he is sooo on my nerve!
Finally…fox nodded.Saauke's eyes sparkled and he quickly sat on the sands,startling the poor fox: "I knew…I knew…So can you…um..help?"
Fox had jumped away but realizing Sasuke just wanted to sit ,came near again.Sasuke repeated: "So,can you?"
Fox went deep in thoughts.Then suddenly jumped off the hill,sniffing around.Sasuke quickly followed him.He was drawing something on the sands.First it was like a …swirl?But he added a few lines and now it was like…sun?
Then he stared at Sasuke ,trying to say something.
"What?You want something?"
Fox whimpered and nodded.He slowly draw something new like…a leaf?
"You want a leaf?"
Fox nodded again.Sasuke frowned.
"But we don't have any and this is a desert!Only leaf or…any part of plant works?"
Fox scratched his head,thinking.Finally he shrugged and nodded.Sasuke began to look around,Then went searching in his bags.Kuro was taking a nap and didn't move.Sasuke kept searching and suddenly remembered something.Tea leaves!He had some!He quickly found a sack full of them and hurried to the fox.Fox sniffed the sack and nodded with excitement.
"So…What now?...hah?...you want me to put them in the middle of swirl thing?...how much?all?...hah…This better works or else…"
Sasuke emptied the sack on the warm sands and stood away while Fox stood above the swirl and closed his eyes.Sasuke kept staring at him in excitement.After a few moments,suddenly fox beagn to glow,shivering slightly and sands….began to swirl around him.Sasuke's eyes got wide.…it was just like…his dream!
The fox glowed more and more,Sasuke's heart beating faster and faster and suddenly…
Nothing!
Sasuke tilted his head,lifting one eyebrow.The glowing slowly fade away and fox quickly opened his eyes with happiness to…see Sasuke staring at him.He blinked and stared back,suddenly jumped and swirled around himself with shock to see…no change?That was when his jaw dropped open…Seems like this wasn't what he was expecting.
"So what are you trying to say?That it didn't work?But…why?I mean…you were really glowing and doing stuff."
Fox shook his head with confusion.Appearantly he had no answers!
Now Sasuke was really worried and desprate.He could breath fire but he couldn't throw out water!
"Alright,you two stay here.I will go searching ahead.Dont move from here or I will lose u.got it?Oi…you stupid fox…yeah,I'm talking to you,who else?Got it?...Good!
Sasuke slowly turned away.
"Ok ,god,I know you're there..I admit…so….a little help please?"
He checked his sword and other weapons,took a deep breath and began walking.
He was walking for three hours.
Still nothing!He couldn't afford to get too far away from his companians but going back with empty hands was also…
Why?Why the fox's magic didn't work?The leaves Or something else?Why are we here to begin with?A trap?Curse?But who?...Damn,I don't get what's going on!
He looked up again and froze.Less than a mile away,there was a huge black tent,surrounded by…trees?He blinked a few times.A mirage?
It certainly looked like one.It was like a peace of heaven in the middle of hell!
Well,whatever.Lets pray that its real!
And he began running.
"Hello??Anybody here?Hello?"
No answer,no sound…too quite!
Sasuke gulped.He really didn't want to go inside of that tent.Lets just say He didn't have … a good feeling.He began to circle around it…and then he saw it!!!
Oh,that beautiful beautiful creature made of black stones which you can jump in and die!If dry that is!A well!
He was having a hard himself not to bounce.He threw in a small stone and listened to the sounds.
Yes,thank you god,its not dry!
Suddenly a hand touched his shoulder.Sasuke jumped and quickly turned around to face …a woman!
She was dressed in a long black robe and had a black scarf around her head,a few pinkish bangs on her forehead.She smiled,her eyes sparkling with happiness:
"Hello Sasuke-kun!Long time no see!"
Sasuke's hand was still on his sword.
What?This woman…how the hell she knows my name?
"How do I know your name,is that what you are wondering about?"
Sasuke slowly nodded,still ready to draw out his sword.The woman grabbed his hands.
"Moo you meanie,you have forgotten me!"
She blinked a few times rapidly,giving her best smile.
Sasuke sooo hated this face,the familiar annoying fan girl face!
He tried to pull away his hand but the woman didn't let go.
"Oii,Let go !I don't know who the hell you are and I don't have time for you.This well,does it belong to you?I just want some water and I'm willing to pay for i…
She bent forward,her face just inches away from his:
"Forget about water darling,just come with me,ne!"
She blowed her breath into his face:
"Please?"
Sasuke blinked.His vision was becoming blurry.His thoughts fading away and soon the light in his eyes was gone: "Sure!"
He opened his eyes slowly and stared at the black ceiling,his mind completely empty.His head was in someone's lap and a hand was stroking his hair.He tilted his head to see a pair of green eyes staring at him.
"Ne,Sasuke-kun I really missed you."
Who…Who the hell is talking?
"Every day and every night,all I'm thinking about is you."
Where were I?Where am I?
"How about you?"
Who is she?I don't know her.What is she talking about?Do I know her?
She chuckled:
"Stop confusing yourself.You are safe now.You wanted to find me and now you have ,so don't thing anymore."
Really?I wanted to…find her?
"Don't worry anymore.You are safe here.you are HOME!)
Home?...
She kept combing his hair with her long fingers again and again:
"Forget everything…EVERYTHING!"
Sasuke slowly closed his eyes,falling into a deep sleep as he forgot…Everything!
He was beautiful.Standing there,looking at Sasuke with a smile.His blond hair all over his body.Three whisker lines on each chick,he was something between a fox and a human.He was simply…
"SASUKE-KUN!!"
Sasuke's eyes snapped open.The woman's face was right above his face.her face frowning:
"Wha…What are you thinking about?Those images…who…you are not SUPPOSED TO…You are supposed to think about ME…remember ME…SAKURA…!"
Her voice was shaking.
You?About you?I will think about…
Suddenly he hear a voice in his head.A new voice.
"Where are you?"
It was his first time hearing it but…it wasn't unfamiliar…Is that even possible?
"Sasuke please,don't leave me,answer me!"
The voice was sad,desprate.Sasuke didn't like his tone.
Who…Who are you?
"Don't leave me,please,please….
Call my name.Call it and I will find you.I will get through this damn barrier.Please,You have to help me!"
Your name?But I don't know…
"I know…It's my fault.It's all my fault.I should have trusted you!Sooner…sooner…but…it's stil alright…I promise…this time…I will protect you…just call my name…call my name…"
….How?
"Can't you hear it?Please, you have to!..."
I can't…
"SAY IT!SAY IT!YOU CAN!YOU CAN!SAY IT!!!!!!"
Sasuke opened his mouth and shouted a single word with all of his strength:
"NARUTO!"
Sakura jumped away in shock.
What?Why?Who is Naruto?This is not possible!Why is he acting like this?Was my spell weak?I even enchanted him twice!...How
She began pacing around the tent while Sasuke was squirming in his place.
That's it.I don't have another choice.
She took out a hidden necklace out of her robe,A very small potion hanging on it then she slowly approached Sasuke.
It's alright.He will be fine.I will take care of him.I can't let him go…I can't…
She put the potion on Sasuke's lips ,slowly tilting it….
Something clashed hard to her,throwing her to the other side of the tent.Se screamed: "What?"
A little fox was in front of her with his hair puffed,showing her his teeth in anger.Sakura's eyes were wide: "You!"
The fox growled in anger:
"That's my line you bitch!This is all your doing!How dare you!"
She screamed back: "So that fox…The fox that sacred apple chose…is you?"
"Yeah,me,me,me,got a problem with it?"
Sakura began to shake with the same level of anger:
"Of course I do!Sasuke-kun is mine!"
Fox puffed even more:
"What?Who the hell are you?You are just a bitch…No,a witch... in the middle of a freaking desert…hey…wait a minute…you planned all this…you brought us here by you magic and you enchanted us to come right into your lair!Thats why I couldn't use my magic!"
Sakura screamed: "Yeah,I did all that to get him!Finally…after so many years…but you…if I knew you are with him…I thought a dog or something was pulled with him…NOT A DAMN DEMON PRINCE!
How the hell you got through my barrier?"
Fox hissed: "What?And here I was thinking you actually know me!You just know me by name don't you,brat?You think a stupid little witch girl can stop me?ME?THE NINE TALE DEMON PRINCE?SON OF GREAT KYUUBI LORD?HOW FOOLISH!"
He swinged his tails and hit Sakura hard.
She screamed and crashed to a table:
"You!I will kill you!"
"Once again,that's my line you bitch!"
And he charged toward her.This time she dodged him and launched a curse in return.
Fox swinged his tails again and reflected the curse back to her.She screamed and jumped away.A horse was neighing madly out side of the tent.
Naruto growled: "I will make you regret ever messing with his head!"
And he began pulling in the air into his maout.Saukra gulped and dived toward a chest.
Her fingers moving as fast as possible,opening the old chest.Fox blew a black cannon toward her.Sakura jumped away but not quick enough.Her right hand got hit and she screamed in pain,her flash burning.She turned around to face the fox and threw a dagger she was clenching in her fist.
A pure black dagger.Fox shielded himself with his red chakra but what happened next was not what he was expecting.The dagger went through…hitting him hard right above his heart!
His eyes were wide with shock as his chakra slowly fade away,only one word in his mind.
How?...
He fell on the floor heavily.blood gushing out of his chest.
Sasuke…I need to…
Sakura was laughing madly:
Hehehe…How is this kitsune prince?Do you like it?You weren't expecting it right?This dagger is called The demon bane!A treasure remained from my father!Even you can't …
Something hit her head,making her see stars and the she was grabbed from her collar .She heard a hoarse voice coming out of a mouth right near her ear :
"This is my first time hitting a woman…and if you move a single finger it won't be the last time!"
She could feel his anger licking from every word.
"Sa..suke…kun…I"
"SHUT UP!SHUT THE HELL UP BEFORE I KILL YOU!"
Sasuke swinged his hand through her away.She hit the floor hard and began crying,hiding her face in her hands.
"Sasuke-kun..No..Please…"
Sasuke ran toward the bleeding fox and quickly picked him up.His hands were shaking.The fox was already drowned in his own blood.Sasuke bit his lip hard,making it bleed and slowly turned toward the witch:
"Heal this!Heal this right now!"
Sakura kept sobbing: "I can't!"
"NOW"
She cried harder: "I really can't!He is a demon….that dagger is special…I don't know…"
Sasuke was shaking in fury with his eyes closed.He took a deep breath and rushed out of the cursed tent.A few more second and he would really kill the woman.
Kuro was trotting toward him,neighing out of worry.Sasuke quickly jumped on his back while holding the wounded fox tightly.
"Run Kuro…get out of here before I kill her!"
Kuro began trotting but suddenly a figure jumped in his way.Sakura screamed with full desperation:
"NO,SASUKE-KUN!I BEG YOU!DON'T LEAVE ME!"
"GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY WOMAN!YOU ENCHANTED US!BROGHT US TO THIS HELL AND NOW YOU HAVE ALMOST KILLED MY…MY LITTLE FOX!"
"No…No…NO…Please,I love you…Don't leave me!"
"You don't even know me…I don't even know you!"
Sakura was now kneeling on the ground,her hands together like she wanted to pray:
"NO,I do!I do!Remember…many years ago…at your birthday…you were turning Eleven!
flash back
A little girl was clenching her father's hand as they passd throught the castle's halls.Her fatherwas summoned to the castle by the king's order.Appearantlay he was supposed to make some kind of charm for…the youngest prince's birthday?Servants were everywhere,rushing around to prepare the castle for the ceremony.Right before entering the main hall,her father looked at her and whispered in a low voice: "Sakura please follow this maid to the garden and play there until my work is finished.I will come to pick you up.ok?Just be a good girl and don't go anywhere else."
Sakura nodded and ran away happily after the maid.The main guided her to a pair of very big doors and then quickly went away after her other duties.Sakura opened one of the doors with a little force and happily ran inside the garden to…crash to someone?
She looked up to see a very beautiful and handsome boy…her heart was beating madly…!
She smiled shyly: "He…Hello!"
The boy looked at her with his beautiful black eyes and smiled.A beautiful smile full of kindness: "Hello my lady!"
The little girl couln't even move.She was….in Love!
End of flash back
Sakura shouted: "Do you remember now?"
Sasuke was staring at her…Something in the back of his mind…
Flash back
He was standing in the garden,pulling the fresh air into his lungs.Today was his birthday but it was just the beginning of the day and he was already annoyed with all the stupid rush and commotion so he had sneaked out of his room to the garden to have some peace.Suddenly he heard his mather calling him from a balcony:
"Sasuke,dear!Come ,we need to get your measures one more time!"
Tch…
Sasuke growled and slowly head the doors but before reaching to the knob,one of the doors was cracked open and a girl clashed to him.
Tch…
The girl looked up at his face and slowly turned as red as a tomato,her face making a beautiful contrast with her pinkish hair!
Ugh…
She said shyly: "He..Hello!"
Her arms were around Sasuke's neck and she was blocking his way and Sasuke was more than annoying for many reasons:
"Will you please get out of my way?I'm in a hurry and your arms are really annoying!"
He pushed her arms away and quickly left,leaving the girl froze in her place and an open mouth,drooling?
In the other hands,Sasuke was mumbling in annoyance,glad that the girl was at least a little shy or his morning would turn into a hell!
End of flash back
Sasuke came back to reality and blinked.A girl with pink hair and green eyes!No wonder he was able to remember.
Sasuke took a deep breath and glared at her:
"You know what?It's not your fault!You are mentally sick and you need to see a doctor therefore I forgive you but let me tell your this,pray,pray that he will survive or else…I will find you againand this time choke you to death with my own hands!"
With another glared he rode away,ignoring Sakura's crying and screams.He had more important matters to be worried about.The fox was shaking and Sasuke's shirt was already drenched from the fox's blood.He gulped and whispered: "Please,Please,don't die on me…Please)
A loud crack was heard and Sasuke turned around to see the tent falling apart,Sakura's spell and barrier being broken.
He turned around and never saw the girl again.
God,I thought I will never finish typing this.I don't hate Sakura.I actually really like her.I mean now that she is kind and sister like.She was a real bitc at the beginning of the serie.Well,tell me what u think,ne!
