Author's note: A short chapter in 3rd person POV. -Blue-Storm Dragon
Drawn by the commotion, Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura arrived at the indoor sports hall to see a giant white python slithered towards…Orochimaru and Silverflame! The black-haired man jolted before kneeling down, the girl limp in his arms.
Wasting no time, the three best friends rushed towards the pair. Silverflame was pale and she seemed lifeless. Sakura let out a strangled gasp and the two princes looked with widened eyes. The Night Prince snapped out of his trance and kneeled down besides Orochimaru, "What's going on? What happened to her? Answer me, Orochimaru!"
"Her time is running out. Soon, she will leave us and never come back; she's dying. She'll at most have a few more days, and there's nothing we can do," the snake-loving vice-principal replied after some silence. He stood up once again and carried the unconscious girl away. The python stared at Sasuke, before slithering after Orochimaru.
Sasuke stood up and walked towards his friends. Sakura was crying on Naruto's shoulder, and the Fox Prince had his arms around her, trying to comfort her even though he himself was feeling just as sad. True, Silverflame was new to this school, but the three of them have felt an attachment towards her.
Putting a hand on the pink-haired girl's shoulder, he stared into her emerald eyes, "Don't worry, Sakura. I promise I will save her. When the python stared at me, he was asking me to save her. There is a way, and I will find that way!" His eyes flashed, and the red hue in his eyes, a trait he shared with Itachi, became more prominent.
Sakura nodded and wiped away her tears. If her friends are going to find a way to help the girl, she has to be strong for Silverflame as well. Seeing her determination, Naruto grinned broadly, "Yosh! Let's give our all to Silverflame-chan!" With that, they left to chase after Orochimaru.
Sasuke's feelings are showing...how is he gonna save Flame? -Blue-Storm Dragon
