"Blah" thoughts

Chapter 9: The third one

Sakura's mind was blank. Only the feeling in her heart guide her to Ino. She knew that now they were going to die for sure. Not only that but because of her Gaara was going to suffer it too. But the look in Ino's eyes was so unbearable. She was going to sacrifice if it could help Ino. Dashing to her best friend, Sakura looked at the man who was standing just a few feet from Ino. He looked a little surprised but soon the look in his bloody eyes was changed to anger.

"Well, well…." He looked at the two girls. Sakura was holding Ino closer to her and glared at the man. "What am I going to do with you?" He laughed like a mad man. "I know, I know, I'm going to torture you first and then…" Sakura flinched when he smiled at her. His face had millions of cuts on it and Sakura started shaking a bit.

"But first…." His gaze landed on the blond girl. "Tell me your name" He laughed again, even walls started shaking from that terrible sound.

"No." Sakura answered for Ino, who was shaking and looked paler then always. A few more hours and she was going to die from blood lose, if Sakura won't hurry.

"Did I asked you?" The man glared at Sakura. His face features twisting to a sick smirk. Sakura gulped visible when he took a step to her. "I don't like to wait!" He hissed before grabbing her neck and squeezing it harshly. Sakura gasped for air, when he lifted her and crashed her to the wall. Ino screamed trying to help Sakura, but she couldn't. Her all body was screaming from pain.

"It seems that she wants me to stop…" He looked at Ino and then his gaze landed on Sakura gain.

"Please let her go!" Ino pleaded, tears running down her face. The man laughed bitterly, when he squeezed Sakura's neck even tighter and Ino screamed again.

"Do something! Or we are going to die! Cha!" Inner screamed panicking, when Sakura's vision became blurry. With her last burst of energy she tried to kick the man, but he caught her leg without even looking.

"Maybe I should cut them of?" He asked enjoying every scream from Ino. His gaze landed on Sakura again. "What do you think of that?" He smirked, letting go of her leg. If Sakura would have more energy she would have spated on him for sure. But instead she was silent. The pain in her lungs became unbearable when he started strangling her with his both hands. Glaring at him, with her semi closed eyes, her gaze landed on Ino. But then her eyes got wide and a small smile appeared on her pale face. Gaara was coming closer to the man and looked more then pissed. Grabbing his neck from the back he twisted it harshly and Sakura got wide when it went silent and the man fell to the ground. Soon she was on the ground herself coughing and panting harshly. Looking at the lifeless body next to her she looked at Gaara with teary eyes. Taking his hand, she hugged him tightly.

"Thank you…" She coughed out, still out of breath.

"Hurry up, we have to find the others" Gaara looked at Ino. "I'll carry her, let's go" Sakura nodded but then a question pop in her head.

"What if there's more of them?" She felt fear rush through her. Gaara looked at her and was about to say something, but stopped when he heard a hysterical laugh. Everybody froze, except for Ino who was staring at something behind Sakura.

"Oh, no…" She muttered her heart skipping a beat.

"You can't kill me…" The man chuckled and Sakura felt like her blood froze. "I'm already dead…"

With Naruto and Hinata

Naruto took another step, holding Hinata close to him. The room was big and strange. A lot of clay figures were everywhere and Hinata was shaking every time the floor screamed. Not only that but the little candle in Naruto's, hand wasn't helping much. It was still very dark, and unpleasant. Walking further, he saw something in front of him. Taking another look he saw that it was a… Book?

"What-t is it?" Hinata asked eyeing the black book. It was unnamed and looked really old. Actually it looked that someone tried to destroy it a few times.

"I don't know…" Naruto muttered vile opening the book, reading for a few minutes he grinned sheepishly. "Listen to this. People who desire something only for themselves are called selfish, others who seek pleasure are spoiled. Only those who care for others more then for themselves would see the daylight again. Others will suffer for their needs and feel the pain of their existents. Only after that they will become the art of five artist of death and be souls never reaching the death world, damned to be forever." Naruto laughed loudly, Hinata flinched at the words and started shaking.

"I can't believe someone would believe this crap…." He laughed again, but now his laugher was a little nervous.

"Does it say something mor-re?" Hinata asked looking at the book. Naruto stopped and threw it to the ground, harshly.

"Yeah, something about escape and the damned ones. But don't worry! It's just a stupid book, there's no…" But Naruto was stopped by a loud crash. Hinata froze when they heard silent footsteps.

"I can't believe Sasori danna is doing this! I mean he seriously doesn't know anything about art…" The figure muttered and Naruto started sweating. Hinata yelped when he hugged her.

"Everybody knows that art is a Bang!" Naruto blinked a few times a spotted that the figure had blonde hair, the same style as…

"Ino?" The voice stopped and the air went cold around them. Something told Naruto, that he just made the biggest mistake in his life…

OMG! Naruto! Poor Sakura, I think their going to die now!

I hope you liked it!
