Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto
Chapter 7: True Feelings Revealed, Part 2
Part 2 coming at you. Again, this is coming up later than I wanted because I was first forced to help my brother move and then go grocery shopping because I have to pay... It's probably the shortest chapter I've written because I had to leave the "juicy" part for the third part (Which will be very long!) But don't think that after part 3 the story is over... Oh... not by a long shot. And for the people that still want me to kill Karin... I'll do a poll... Tell me in your reviews if you want her dead or not... which ever wins will be what happens to her... But I'm not killing Naruto... never would! Look for part 3 in the next day or so... Enjoy!
"Sakura's been kidnapped."
Sasuke couldn't believe he was actually saying those words. He didn't think anyone was foolish enough to touch a member of his family, especially Sakura.
'Dam you Naruto!'
Suigestsu quickly returned to his room and changed. Sasuke saw him emerge minutes later fully dressed with the giant sword on his back.
"Who else is coming?"
"No one."
"What?" Suigestsu halted.
"I don't trust anyone else."
"What about Ju…"
"I could just leave you here too. I don't need your help with getting Sakura-chan back."
"Then why ask?"
Sasuke didn't answer, he already knew the reason; but he wasn't going to admit to Suigestsu that he needed back up. He didn't know to what ends Naruto and the three others would do to keep Sakura away from him.
"Thought you'd like a little fun…"
"My fun is locked up in my room."
"You're a sick bastard."
"That bitch deserves every agonizing second she receives."
Sasuke quickly let the subject die. He returned to the main hall with Suigestsu following closely behind.
"Ryu."
His first born ran up to him, fighting back tears. He smiled at the boy; knowing how hard he was trying to look brave in front of him.
"Do you remember what direction the four people took your Mother?"
"South."
"Good boy." He patted his head again and left the room.
"Four people took her?"
"Yes."
"How the hell did they manage that?"
"How the fuck should I know?"
He noticed Suigestsu look at him with a questioning glance.
"You're taking this kind of hard…"
"How else am I suppose to take it? Four people come out of nowhere and take my pregnant fiancée… Am I suppose to be calm when I hear this?"
"Pregnant! Shit…"
"If that idiot does anything to harm Sakura-chan or my child… I'll kill him… I don't care what relationship we had before!"
"You know the person who took her?"
"Yes. My best friend, Naruto."
"Some best friend…"
Just thinking about what Naruto might have done made Sasuke's blood boil.
'I don't see any of them in five years and this is how they treat me… Taking my Sakura-chan.'
"Hey… Sasuke…"
"What?"
They had reached the edge of the garden when Suigestsu stopped.
"How are you going to find her without Karin?"
"Don't worry… I have my methods."
His eyes flashed red before he set out into the forest.
Sakura woke to an unfamiliar surrounding and as she sat up, remembered what had happen. She looked around to see she was in an empty room. She noticed only one tiny window high above the floor to her left. She found she was no longer tied down and when she noticed the door, she got up and went towards it.
Before she was able to open it, it opened itself and four very familiar people walked inside.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?" She asked.
"Saving you."
"I don't need saving."
"Dammit Sakura-chan… You don't belong there."
"Where I belong is not your decision, Naruto."
Naruto, Hinata, Shikamaru, and Ino stood in front of her. Hinata and Ino wouldn't look her in the eye and Shikamaru was standing guard by the door. Naruto stood closest to her and she had a powerful desire to knock him out.
"And where you belong isn't your decision either."
"Beg your pardon?"
"You can't honestly tell me you are happy in Sound."
"No, I can honestly tell you I am. And how dare you take me from him!"
She had just realized because of their kidnapping, Ryu had been left alone in the garden. She knew he could make it back to the house without incident; but she was worried what the sight of her being taken would do to him.
"We knew you were lying when you said you weren't with him."
"So what if I am with him. Who I'm with is none of your concern."
"It's all of ours concern. Jeez Sakura, I knew you were blind when it came to him, but I didn't think you were stupid too."
Sakura had stopped listening to him. All she cared about now was if her sons were okay. She knew that at all costs she had to get back to them.
"I'm going back."
"We won't allow that. If you are going anywhere, it's back to Konoha."
"That is not your decision. You will not keep me from him."
"Sasuke doesn't need you Sakura-chan… Why can't you see that?"
"Not Sasuke you dam idiot. He can handle things fine without me."
"Then why are you so eager to return to him."
"NOT HIM! MY SON, MY SONS! You took me from my children. You left Ryu there in the garden as you took his Mother away; as you took me away. Do you have any idea what he must be feeling; seeing four strangers dragging away his Mother? DO YOU? DO YOU NARUTO! I stay with Sasuke not just because I love him, but because of my sons. My children are the most important thing to me and so help me if you keep me from them I will kill you all!"
If they hadn't been looking at her before, her friends were looking at her now.
"Sons…"
"Oh… I see you didn't know that tiny important bit of information. Yes, my sons. You've met one, Ryu; but I have another who is only five months old and needs me now more than ever."
"I… I had no idea…"
"That doesn't surprise me… I love you like a brother Naruto, but you're an idiot. Now move. I'm going back."
"I'm sorry, Sakura-chan. But we can't allow that. We'll find a way to get your sons away from that place and to you, but we won't let you go back… ever."
"Are you that mad at me for leaving?"
"No! I'm mad at Sasuke for taking you!"
"Why did you go with him Sakura?" Ino asked from behind Naruto.
"Because I wanted too."
"You really are blind when it comes to him…"
"Like you wouldn't have gone if given the option, Ino?"
"No, I would not. I had feelings for him, but I wouldn't betray my village to be with him."
"Betray… Is that what you think I did?"
"Not think, know!"
"I never betrayed Konoha."
"Oh… so how do you explain the fact that we never heard from you after you left and the Sound Headband!" Naruto said with a hint of red in his eyes.
"So… This isn't about Sasuke… This is about me… You hate me for leaving."
"We don't hate you!" Ino said with a stutter.
"We're just correcting your mistake." Naruto said as he turned towards the door.
"Why you!"
Before Sakura could bring up her fist to strike him, she was knocked out again by Hinata.
"Dam… you…"
'Naruto.'
"I just can't believe she was taken… I mean… It's Sakura… I just…"
"Shut up."
'Maybe bringing him was a mistake.'
Sasuke and Suigestsu had been out all day looking for any trail or sign of where Sakura might be; and Sasuke wasn't happy about it. He didn't know what annoyed him most though, the fact that he couldn't find Sakura or that Suigestsu wouldn't shut up.
'It can't be this hard to find her.'
He had been trying for hours to pick up any signs of charka in the area.
'Of course they wouldn't stay in Sound's territory… That would be suicidal.'
"We need to think of a place that they could keep her… But also keep her out of view."
"Don't you think that's what I've been looking for?"
Suigestsu glanced at Sasuke for only a second before returning his gaze forward.
"We'll find her soon… I know it."
Sasuke could tell the man was trying to find something comforting to say; but everyone in Sound knew he was the type that considered comfort a weakness.
As they jumped from what seemed to be the millionth tree branch, Sasuke suddenly stopped and landed on the ground.
"What is it?" Suigestsu said as he landed next to him.
"Do you feel that?"
Suigestsu stood motionless and looked around him.
"No."
"I do… It's weak and far off… But there isn't a doubt in my mind… It's Sakura!"
He jumped back into the trees and started heading west. Suigestsu quickly followed him without saying a word.
"How are you so sure?"
"I've been around her long enough to know what her charka feels like… There isn't any other like it…"
"What her charka feels like?"
'Warmth, compassion… love.'
Sasuke didn't answer Suigestsu's question out loud; he had no intention to ever tell anyone this strange ability he had picked up with the charka of his family.
But there was no doubt in his mind that this charka was Sakura's.
'I'm coming… I'm coming to bring you home!'
