Chapter 4
She was sitting in front of her mirror, her pale green eyes unfocused as she put her black mascara on. She heard a soft muffled knock on her door, and turned around blinking her eyes, her eye-lashes looking like butterfly's wings.
« Yes ? » She asked sweetly trying to hide her irritation.
« Sakura dear ? I'm going to do some shoping, do you need anything ? »
Sakura greeted her teeth together, annoyed by her mother's question.
« If I needed anything, I would buy it myself ! » She answered harshly.
« Ok. And dear, I prepared your breakfast, so do not skip it. »
Sakura frowned, glaring daggers at her door.
'What ? Does she want me to look like an elephant... I'm already overweight !' She thought as she heard the retreating steps of her mother.
She turned back to her mirror and took her lipstick.
'I have to get ready for Sasuke-kun...' She thought as she put the glossy neon pink substance on her lips.
A few seconds later, she heard someone knocking on her door again. She got up hurridly throwing her lips-stick violently against the mirror and stormed to the door.
'Who is the good for nothing who dares disturb me again ?' She thought throwing the door open.
She was snarling, her pink eyebrow furrowed, her lips set in a pout, her green eyes glaring daggers at the person in front of her.
« WHAT ! » She screamed before even knowing who was at the door.
« What are YOU doing here Ino-pig ? » She asked looking down at her rival for Sasuke-kun's love. « Are you here to tell me that you finally understand that I AM the more suited to become the next Mrs UCHIHA ? »
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
Ino just frown at her not understanding what Sasuke's future wife had to do with all this. She had come to help her friend during this difficult time : she had just lost her teammate and she was sure she would need all the help she could to go through this.
But there she was, standing in an indecently short red chinese dress, her face caked with make-up, and her nails french manicured.
Then, it's struk her : Sakura did not know. She paled, she felt her heart stop for a minute. She would have to tell Sakura.
« What, Ino-pig ? Did I put too much blush ? » Sakura asked as she passed delicatly her fingers on her cheek.
« S-Sakura... » Ino began, not knowing what to say.
'How do you tell someone that their teammate, their friend died during a mission full filling a promise done to them ?' Ino thought while bitting her pale pink lips.
« Ino ? What happened ? » Sakura asked visibly worried about her friend lack of reaction.
She put her left hand on Ino's shoulder, and titled her head to the right.
« Tell me Ino... » She asked softly.
« It's Naruto... » Ino began in a soft whisper.
Sakura frown not sure of what she had heard.
« Naruto ? Do you know where Naruto is ? Oh, I need to thank him for returning Sasuke-kun to me... So where is he ? I didn't have time to see him yet... I was going to look for him after visiting Sasuke-kun... What a horrible friend I make ! » She exclamed grining as she busied herself getting a red handbag and tiying her head band netly on her hair.
« Sa-Sakura... Naruto is not here... » Ino said weakly looking away from her cheerful friend.
Sakura's grin slowly faded of her feature and she frown, her eyes lit with curiosity.
« What do you mean not here ? Not here in Konoha ? But where would he be ? Is he gone with that pervert... Jiraya or something ? Argh if he's gone without telling me goodbye, I'm so gonna kill him next time I see him...! » Sakura babbled as she tied a Kunai pouch on the upper part of her left thigh.
« No.. Sakura... I mean... » Ino said trying desesperatly to find her words.
Sakura looked up at her, hope shining in her mint-color eyes, she smiled encouragedly. Ino bit her lips trying to think of the less harsh way to say what she had to say, she began to play with her fingers twisting them in an almost painful way. She clapped her hands together and took a deep breath.
« N-Naruto is..he is dead, Sakura... » She stopped, breathing quickly in and out and avoiding to look at Sakura. « Sasuke killed him. »

Kakashi was leaning against the yellowish door of Sasuke's hospital room, watching as his student put away his clothes in the small handcase Kakashi had gotten him.
Kakashi was not late like he usely was, for once he was on time. Some would have thought that the world would come to an end : HATAKE Kakshi was on time ! But there was no matter to laugh. He was on time because, today, he had to take one of his student, a Genin not even thirteen years old, to the Hokage to be judged for his act of threatery and for the murder of a fellow Ninja of Konoha, his teammate none the less.
Kakashi would not have been late for this. Even if it meant that he would not be able to mourn 'his' death.
'You know Obito,' He thought glaring at the numerous posy scattered everywhere in the room filling it with a more horrible smell than the hospital's one.
'I would never have thought that I would have to do that...
In all my years as a Ninja, I thought I had seen the worst part of human's psyche but... this... it's...more than what I can take...
I was ready to give up my life for this village... but... when I see that... I don't think I can do it anymore...
They are PRAISING him ! For Kami's sake, he killed his teammate ! No matter what was sealed inside Naruto... He did not deserved THAT !'
Kakashi gritted his teeth together as he caught sight of the red and golden balloons where was written in a succesion of Golden and Red letters : 'THANK FOR KILLING THE BEAST.' that were floated at his left. He closed his fist tidly and diverted his eyes on his charge.
Sasuke had just finished putting away his clothes, he closed the handcase and turn around. His red eyes met with Kakashi's only visible eye but as soon as Sasuke locked gaze with Kakashi, he looked away in shame. Sasuke firmly griped the handcase's handle and lifted it swiftly. He walked up to Kakashi, eyes shadowed by his black hair. Suddenly, Sasuke looked up, he was now facing the balloons and out of rage he punched them, tearing them in pieces. Small tears of frustration and self hatred were gazering at the edge of his Sharingan's eyes. Kakashi bent down on his knees at Sasuke's side.
« Sasuke... » He said softly.
He heard the muffle sobs of Sasuke as he seized his hair and pulled it, rocking back and forth.
« I killed him... I killed him... I killed him... » He repeated endlessly tears running down his face.

They were training for a day now, without stopping neither for sleep nor for food and Itachi was begining to feel the strain of such a training :
Sweat was clinging on his skin, slowly dripping down his uncovered chest. His shirt laid down ripped a few meters away from him. Small burnt adorned the white skin of his arms and hands. His long eben hair was clunched on his skull and back.
His opponent's eyes were focused on the thin trails of crimsom liquid running down the palm of his right hand where a kunai had pierced skin, the liquid was slowly flowing down his wrist constrasting with his pale color skin.
« Should it hurt ? » He asked diverting his eyes from the crimson trail to the long hair man in front of him.
Itachi looked unemotionaly at the young man in front of him. It looked like it was the first time Tsunaru ever saw blood. Tsunaru gripped the handle of the kunai still impaled in his hand.
As he was about to take out the Kunai, he stopped in the motion, his grips loosen a little, his eyes flashing blue for a slip second before returning to their usual purple complexion. He stared for a couple of minutes at his hands before closing his fist around the kunai and taking it out of his hand.
Blood dripped down the kunai on his fingers, he slowly raised the kunai, observing its sharp edge covered with blood, his blood. He throw it on the floor and it impaled itself a few inches away from Itachi's feet.
Itachi quickly diverted his eyes from Tsunaru to the Kunai and back to Tsunaru. He quircked a thin black eyebrow as he saw the fascinate look in the eyes of his opponant. He saw the pink tongue of Tsunaru slowly getting out of his mouth licking his full cherry red lips.
Tsunaru took his arms up to his mouth and slowly licked away the blood his eyes closing slightly in delectation. Soon Tsunaru turned his hand showing his already healed palm to Itachi and licked hungrily the blood on the other part of his hand.
Itachi's eyes were fixed on Tsunaru pink tongue as the saliva melted with the blood and the tongue retracted back in his mouth. Tsunaru lowered his hand and looked straigh in Itachi's eyes, blood dripping down his lips and chin. Itachi slowly walked up to Tsunaru and wiped the blood away with the tips of his right hand fingers and then put his fingers in his mouth slowly licking away the blood. He could feel Tsunaru's purple eyes on him watching him closely.
« I like this taste... » Tsunaru stated breaking the tension as he licked the last of the blood on his lips.
End of chapter 4.
