Chapter 8: Nothing Your Precious Little Sasuke-Kun Can Do About It.
Disclaimer- I don't own Naruto…
"Are you sure," Tusnade looked over to Sasuke and Sakura in the room behind her with worry over her face.
"Yes, I still trust Sasuke, and if worst comes to worst I have faith that Kakashi will take him down if he's still with Orochimaru," The now Hokage said confidently. "I'll be talking to him before he even sets foot in her house before anyway."
"Okay, I'm going back to the couple inside before they get up to anything," Tusnade turned around to go back inside and picked up Sakura's board. Sasuke retreated back into the corner.
"Okay Sakura-Chan, You seem fine, Are you hungry at all or thirsty?"
Sakura shook her head in a 'no' direction. "Can I go?"
Tusnade looked at Naruto who nodded.
"Yeah, sure and stay at home for a few days, you've had a tough time there's not much to do here anyway," Tusnade said and smiled. Sakura looked at the Uchiha in the corner, her eyes stricken with worry.
"Um, Sasuke could you come here for a moment," Naruto said and ushered his rival towards him.
Sasuke lifted his body off the wall coolly and walked outside to meet Naruto.
"What do you want? Are you planning my execution?" Sasuke said mocking the Hokage for the first thing he said to the Uchiha.
"Of course not Sasuke, You cut me deep," Naruto placed his hand on his chest and looked at his rival with puppy dog eyes. Sasuke rolled his eyes. "No, I'm not. I want you to stay with Sakura at least until we get this sorted out. So I'm willing to bend a few rules which the old bags are going to kill me for, but I will let you stay with Sakura under my watch… Unfortunately I can't be watching you seeing as I have meetings to attend and Hokage-ish business to attend to,"
"Like asking Hinata to marry you," Sasuke butted in.
"Eh-Eh-Eh… Who told you that? Anyways, Yes, I am… Sometime, anyway seeing as I have so much on Kakashi is going to take my place. This means he will also be protecting Sakura-Chan along with you, got it?"
"Got it, Can I go now?" Sasuke said and tried to turn around but he was turned back around.
"Wait," Naruto held his hand up,
"...You have to pinky swear,"
"Oh you've got to be kidding me, Dobe you are so immature!"
His snake eyes looked at the three people inside the house. One had spiky silver hair and was reading it seemed.
'Kakashi…' He thought and studied the second
He knew this one, all too well… Dark eyes with raven hair, a dark tank top and heavy jeans.
'Sasuke…'
A smirk twisted on his lips and he licked his lips sickly as he laid eyes on the woman next to Sasuke, Flowing pink hair, shapely figure and a bubbly aura.
'Sakura…'
He looked back at Sasuke and Kakashi, obviously she'd told someone about the dream and the Hokage had put body guards on her. How Sasuke was one he'd never know and whether it was because of the potion or the fear that an S-class criminal was after her that she had body guards, he would also never know.
But the young cherry blossom was a smart girl, smart enough to make that potion, smart enough to figure out that's what he was after and smart enough that if he ever got his hands on her he would kill her without hesitation.
His body moved stealthily over into a nearby tree and he saw the copy-cat ninja's head look up.
"What's wrong Kakashi-Sensei?" Sakura over to her sensei from the TV.
"I thought I sensed a presence…" He said and looked around a listened. Sakura muted the TV to see if she could as well.
"I can sense a little one, probably just a cat or something… I'll go and look," Sasuke said and got up out of his spot and walked to the door. "Don't come out at all Sakura, even if I die," He said back to the woman on the lounge.
The mahogany door of Sakura's three bed roomed house creaked and the Uchiha stepped outside. Sasuke walked quietly over to where the presence sense was stronger and looked around only to instantly clutch his chest. He saw the sharp kunai stab his chest and he fell down to the ground unconscious.
Orochimaru stepped out of the shadows partly and sighed, too bad for the Uchiha, he didn't even put up a fight.
The snake felt something cut into his neck and he turned his head around un-naturally and smirked at the person behind him.
"I knew you would put up more of a fight than that Sasuke, I trained you too well to end up like that," Orochimaru looked down just to see a log.
The blade pressed against Orochimaru's neck and blood trickled down his neck and Sasuke lowered his lips down to his ear.
"You , stay away from Sakura," He growled.
"And what will you do if I don't?" The snake touched a kunai in his pocket.
"What I'm going to do right now…" Sasuke gripped the kunai in his sweaty palms and pressed it further into his neck.
"Oh Sasuke, please I thought I taught you better than that…" Orochimaru span around and thrusted his own blade into Sasuke's side. The Uchiha doubled over in pain as the blade dripped with crimson liquid.
"I'll be back, and when I am, she will die, I will get what I want," He whispered and disappeared. Sasuke plummeted to the ground and cried in agony when his body hit the dewy grass.
"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura cried from the inside and rushed outside.
"Sakura!" Kakashi yelled after his student and grabbed her by the arm.
"Sasuke!" She wined but was pulled back.
"Stay next to me Sakura," Kakashi said as he opened the door revealing a crisp night. The woman stayed by her sensei's side as she looked for the Uchiha.
"There he is," Kakashi walked over to the bleeding man sprawled out on the ground.
"Sasuke-kun, what happened?" She asked wiping blood from his lip, salty tears fell on his bloody face.
"Sakura! Get inside! Now, Orochimaru…" He trailed off as his eyes closed and he drifted off into unconsciousness.
"Come on, Inside Sakura now," Kakashi ordered and picked up Sasuke.
'See my Sakura-Chan…' A voice crept up Sakura's neck and made her shiver 'Not even your precious Sasuke-Kun can save you… There's nothing anybody can do to save you now, as much as they try…'
Her slender fingers moved over his face and made him calm down in his sleep. She sighed and kissed his warm lips gently then caressed his cheek softly. Sakura moved a bit of stray hair from his face and laid next to the injured Sasuke. She nuzzled his bare neck and drifted off to sleep.
Kakashi eyed his two students from the lounge room and took another spoonful of yogurt.
He pondered in his thoughts about random things such as Sasuke and Sakura, Orochimaru, His next mission, how he was ever going to get another magazine if he had to protect Sakura twenty-four/ seven before he too fell asleep.
Through the night a slight mumble could be heard by the sharpest of hearing…
'My precious Sasuke-kun will save me…'
Tehe! I'm starting to really like this! This is now officially one of my fave chapters after Chapter four, the first kiss! Tehe! I did this on holidays on my dad's laptop so I didn't do anything on holidays for you blokes out there!!
Please Review, and I like long and short chapters, I think a combination of the two is good as long as the short ones aren't like drabbles and the long ones aren't a saga.
