Prey For My Soul
CHAPTER SEVEN
Duel Of The Hearts
Ino didn't usually walk past Naruto's house, but something made the attractive blonde woman decide to take a stroll in that area of the neighbourhood. She heard angry voices before she could even see Naruto's house.
"SAKURA, STAY BACK!" That sounded like Naruto.
"NARUTO, PLEASE, DON'T!" Sakura was crying. "SASUKE! SASUKE, STOP!"
Sasuke!
Ino broke into a run, as she heard Sasuke's angry voice replying: "SAKURA! COME BACK! YOU KNOW THAT YOU BELONG WITH ME!"
"YOU THINK THAT SHE BELONGS TO YOU, SASUKE!" Naruto yelled, and Ino heard a sound that sounded like a fist landing on a face.
She came to a stop outside of Naruto's house, and gazed in horror at the scene unfolding before her.
Sasuke was kneeling on the grass, blood dripping from his nose, breathing ragged and sharp. His eyes were fixed on Naruto, staring coldly at the blonde man with a black eye, whom was being held back by a sobbing Sakura.
"Sasuke!?!?" Ino cried.
Sasuke ignored her and got to his feet, staggering unsteadily towards Naruto and Sakura.
"Sa-k-u-r-ra…" Sasuke stammered.
Sakura stiffened, and Ino noticed the bandage wrapped around her wrist.
Naruto glared at Sasuke. "I won't let you hurt Sakura anymore!" He cried. "Not after what you did to Hinata!"
Ino knew the story about Hinata, but not the whole thing. Now she knew. Had Sasuke really killed Hinata?
"YOU BASTARD!" Sasuke lunged at Naruto.
Sakura screamed.
And Ino leapt forward and grabbed Sasuke around the waist, holding him back.
"STOP SASUKE, DON'T DO THIS ANYMORE!" Ino shouted, tears collecting in her eyes. "PLEASE, JUST LEAVE THEM ALONE!"
Sasuke's breathing was fractured. He half-turned, and half-fell, and fainted at the ground by Ino's feet.
