Fortress

"There's been a change in plans," The big- chested blond said plainly, to Kakashi who stood dazed within the demon fortress. It was full of the most colorful man-like beast he'd ever seen. There were tree like men, blue-skinned women, dog-eared children, and sly looking kitsune.

There was overall a kind of liveliness that Kakashi would never expect to see outside palace walls. There was a half-hearted thwack to his head, and he glared at Sakura who looked back nonchalantly. She thrust her chin up and strode past him, or it seemed like that was what she was doing until she griped his shoulder and steered him to follow the slug-demon.

"Stare not, human, 'tis not your place." She said in a low voice. A chill slid down his spine, and the silver headed boy wondered where the fiery playmate of the past few weeks had gone. He jerked away in protest, and claws dug into his shoulder eliciting a gasp.

That was how the odd group marched onward, with Tsunade at the lead, Sakura steps behind dragging and simultaneously protecting Kakashi (though he did not know it) as they made their way to the prestigious mountain manor in the distance.

Wow! It's been awhile. I don't own a thing, and I hate my job.

Review!
