Chapter 6: We never gave up
Sakura woke up the next day, everything not bustling as usual. She walked out of the room, finding no one in the hallway.
She walked into their normal meeting room and they all looked to her.
"Good morning, Sakura-chan!" Tobi shouted from the end of their table. Sakura smiled softly and waved. "Can we have eggs again?!" Tobi asked, eagerly. "I'll make some." she said, walking to the kitchen.
Sakura dug through everything, but, couldn't find any damn eggs.
She huffed, putting her hands on her hips. She'll have to go to the village just to get some more.
"Deidara, I need to go to the village to get eggs... You guys don't have any more." Sakura said.
"I'll come!!" Tobi shouted, waving his hand in the air.
"Alright, come on Tobi..." Sakura said, and they got Deidara's approval to go.
"Just be careful Tobi, there's people looking for Sakura. Don't get distracted and leave her. You need to be able to be right next to her." Deidara warned, looking to Tobi.
Tobi just nodded, "Yeah yeah yeah, come on Sakura-chan." he said, pushing Sakura out of the door.
Tobi ran down the dirt road, pulling Sakura by the hand with him.
They arrived at the village, and it was kind of busy... Sakura stood next to Tobi closely, even though she could just disappear and run to her house. But, Deidara would find her and that wouldn't be too good...He could just kill her like ...that!
Sakura walked into the village's grocery store and grabbed about ten eggs, finding her way to the owner and paying him what she owed. She looked around, trying to find Tobi.
He was gone, out of her sight.
"Tobi??" she asked, looking around. "Tobi!?" she screamed. Sakura ran out of the store, looking around. "Tobi?! ...AH!" she shouted, being punched in the stomach and blind-folded.
Tobi was still in the store, looking at some of the sweets the owner had. "Ooh! Sakura, can we get this one?!" he shouted and looked around. "Sakura????" he shouted, and found her no where.
He ran out and stepped on the eggs she bought.
She ran? No... She wouldn't... Tobi thought, Someone caught her... I'm so dead!!!!
Tobi decided to run, back to the hideout to tell Deidara and the others.
Meanwhile...
Sakura woke up, rubbing her stomach. "Ouch." she said out loud and opened her eyes.
"NARUTO?!?" she shouted, furious.
Naruto smiled, happy at what he done.
"What are you doing?! What did you do?! Why did you do it?!" Sakura questioned, getting up off the bed.
"We never gave up, Sakura! We saw you at the festival yesterday!" Naruto said, not smiling anymore. "Then, we saw you going to the store..." Kiba said next to Naruto now.
The rest of everyone was sitting on chairs around Sakura, and they all waved.
They didn't give up?! On me? Why?! They're dealing with the Akatski!!! They could die! Inner Sakura put those thoughts in Sakura.
Sakura sat back down on the bed. So many people could get hurt! she thought. She would be right there too. She would watch them die right in front of her eyes. Then, she would never ever see them again... She certainly didn't want that! She clutched her head, not knowing what to do now.
One part of her screamed, "Get out of there! You don't belong here anymore!!!!" and the other said, "You're back! You're free! You can help the others and fight the Akatski!!!"
She clutched her head tighter, getting a headache. "S-Sakura-chan?" Ino asked, touching Sakura's shoulder. Sakura held her breath, holding back her tears. "I'm sorry to do this guys, but, I have to go back... You can't keep me here forever..." Sakura said, grabbing the blankets and holding them tight.
Naruto stared at her in disbelief. "Why Sakura-chan? We just did this for nothing??" he asked her, getting louder.
Ino looked over to Naruto and glared, "She's under pressure, blondie!!! We don't know what to do, Sakura... We're not giving you back without a fight!" Ino stated, putting up a fist.
Sakura looked up, she too was confused. She was the main character in this conflict this time. "No, you're giving me back. You're not dying!" she shouted, looking back down.
Ino was quiet then and was thinking to herself.
Kiba looked over to Hinata who was being her normal self and keeping quiet. Shikamaru was sleeping...
Back to the Akatski!!!!
Tobi ran up the dirt road, not showing any fatigue as he entered into the hideout.
"Deidara!!!!!! Itachi!!!!!!!!!!! Kisame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sakura's gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he shouted through the whole hideout. Deidara ran down the hallway to meet up to Tobi.
"What, un?!" he shouted.
"I lost her! Tobi's sorry!!!!!" he shouted.
Deidara sighed, he knew he should of went with Tobi...
Itachi was already there and he closed his eyes, sighing with Deidara. "We have to go and find her." he said, he began to walk out of the hideout.
Kisame looked around as he entered the same hallway as everyone. "Where we going??" he asked, scratching his head.
"We're going to find Deidara's captive... She's gone." Itachi said as Kisame followed him.
Deidara walked after the two, a panicking Tobi right beside him.
Back with Sakura!
It was night by then and Sakura looked over to her friends who were sprawled out everywhere sleeping. She looked around, no Akatski. At least not yet.
She wanted to move and get out of there, but, she didn't want to wake up anyone.
Sakura sat there for a little longer, being quiet. But, she heard a rock on her window. She inched over to it, stepping over a snoring Kiba and Naruto. They were practically hugging each other. She rolled her eyes, and looked out the window. She saw Deidara pop his head right in front of the window. She gasped, being scared out of her mind.
She opened the window, "Deidara!" she whispered and he smiled. "We came to get you back, yeah." he replied and held his hand out to help her out of the window.
"Not so fast, blondie..." a voice came from behind Sakura.
"Kiba! No! Go back to sleep!" Sakura shouted, shooing Kiba away.
Kiba shook his head, shaking Naruto. "You're not leaving, Sakura." he said. "What?! Oh, the Akatski's here?" Naruto murmured, getting up. The light went on once Hinata awoke and she glared at the Akatski.
"I-I'm sorry Sakura-chan, but, we want y-you to stay." she said, looking down.
Ino looked over to the Akatski and frowned. "Why won't you just leave Sakura alone?" she asked.
"Ino! Stop it! I need to go!" Sakura shouted, half-way through the window. Ino just shook her head, "You need to stay here!" she shouted.
Sakura jumped back into the window, stopping Deidara as he tried to follow her.
"Ino, I don't want to be here anymore!" Sakura lied. She watched Ino's expression as it changed. Ino stared at her for a bit, and looked over to the others who exchanged looks with each other.
"Well, if you want to leave..." Ino stated, her gaze on the floor.
Sakura nodded, trying not to cry, once again. She climbed out of the window, Deidara grabbing her by the waist when she was fully out. Naruto looked over to her and she smiled weakly, waving. Everyone just stared, wondering why she had said that. Sakura looked to Deidara, "I want to go now." Deidara nodded, putting her on his back and jumping off of the railing.
Sakura got down when they were safely on the ground.
She looked to Deidara who looked happy to have her back... She just smiled and didn't look back. She didn't want to get all teary eyed again.
"Sakura-chan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Tobi shouted, pulling Sakura in a tight hug. "Ah! Oh, hi Tobi." she replied.
Tobi looked up and jumped up and down, "Tobi's sorry for losing you!!!!" he shouted.
Sakura just smiled and nodded, "It's okay. Now..." she said and looked up to Deidara who was beginning to walk. Itachi and Kisame grunted, turning around.
"I thought there was going to be a good fight." Kisame muttered. Sakura glared, smacking the back of his head. "Hey!!! What the hell was that for?!?" he shouted, running away from Sakura.
Sakura just stuck her tongue out, "No eggs for you in the morning!!!"
