Chapter 10: Feelings…

Sasuke walked in the rain…he didn't care about the cold…
Sasuke faced the pouring sky and closed his eyes; he let his hands rest inside his pants pockets.
"Mom…I miss you so much," Sasuke, whispered these words towards the heavens in hopes of his mother hearing them. Sasuke looked around and saw a park up ahead so he decided to walk over.
After Sasuke seated himself on a swing he adverted his cold blank eyes towards a cherry blossom tree that was being bombarded by the harsh rain. He watched as the petals fell lifelessly onto the ground, not having the chance to be swept away by the wind one day and dance in the air until they fall gracefully onto the ground. Sasuke's eyes widened when he saw an image of Sakura standing just underneath the tree…staring back at him with lifeless eyes.
"Sakura…?" Sasuke got up and walked slowly towards the tree, as he came closer Sakura's mouth started to smile for him. Sasuke's eyebrows furrowed due to his slight confusion.
"Sasuke," Sakura's voice seemed like a ghosts whisper, her voice was carried around by the wind. Sasuke was now in front of Sakura. He reached out to touch her but as soon as the tips of his fingers touched her hand…she disappeared…she vanished from his sight.
"What am I thinking…?" Sasuke shook his head and made his way home.
'The rain must be getting to me' Sasuke's thoughts were plagued with Sakura's face.
The rain…portrays pain…in most people's eyes.
Oooooooooooooo
OOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOO
Oooooooooooooo
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Sakura! It's just me and Sai, please open up!" Sai and Shikamaru sat outside of Sakura's bedroom in hopes of her letting them in.
"Ugly we've been here for an hour now! You know we're not going anywhere! And my butt is starting to go numb…" Sai yelled through the door…but whispered the last bit.
"Sakura please open the door-"
"What do you guys want?" Sakura opened the door, but her eyes were blank and dull and her voice was void of any emotion. This worried the two boys greatly. The boys pushed through Sakura and sat on her bed. Sakura shut the door and faced Sai and Shikamaru.
"Okay…its gonna be troublesome but we are going to cheer you up," Shikamaru drawled out.
"Yeah ugly…and since Tsunade aint here…we're going to break the rules for a little bit," Sai smirked and got out a scroll and his trusty paintbrush. Sakura's eyes widened a bit…but they kept their blank expression. With the swift movement of Sai's hand a rabbit was drawn. Sai then made a hand sign with his right hand.
"Choujuu Giga," muttered Sai before the rabbit on the paper grew a bit bigger and jumped on Sakura's head. Sakura just stared at Sai.
"You know, Tsunade has forbidden ANBU members from using chakra or jutsu's unless absolutely necessary," Sai flinched a little at Sakura's cold voice. Shikamaru then got up and took the rabbit from Sakura's head. He made Sakura sit beside Sai before he placed the ink rabbit on the floor. Shikamaru then performed a few hand signs himself.
"My turn," Shikamaru smirked when Sakura's eyes widened again, but there was still no trace of emotion.
"Shika…you of all people should know we're forbid-"
"Kagemane no jutsu," Shikamaru cut Sakura off as he took control of the rabbit's movement. Sakura watched to see what Shikamaru was planning on doing. To Sakura's surprise Shikamaru started dancing in a goofy manner and soon the rabbit followed Shikamaru's movements.
The corners of Sakura's mouth twitched slightly…
Shikamaru saw this and he dropped the jutsu, so did Sai and the rabbit disappeared. Both boys engulfed Sakura in a big bear hug. Sakura just held onto them and rested her head on their shoulders. Sakura let her self weep at the sign of their affection.
"Thanks…guys…please don't ever leave me," Sakura's words came out quieter than a whisper but the two boys still heard it and they held her tighter.
"We'll never leave you,"
"Yeah ugly…no matter what…it'll never happen,"
"Guys I'm going to apologize now for my future behavior…I need time to recover from what happened alright?" Sakura's half lidded eyes stared at a picture of her and Hinata that sat on top of her desk. Sakura then immediately shut her eyes when a surge of pain shot through her heart.
'Hinata-chan…'
"Sakura…when will you tell us about what exactly happened?" Shikamaru, Sakura, and Sai lay down on the bed next to each other.
"Well, while I was on my mission…I fought against to new recruits from sound and one of them was quite the fighter. When I thought I had won, the girl I fought against surprised me by attempting to stick two daggers in my face but I stopped her just in time…but what I didn't realize is that she had cut my hood and my mask off," Shikamaru and Sai took in the information…but what they didn't get is why Sakura was upset.
"What's wrong with that? I mean only she saw you right?" Sai opted on asking.
"Wrong…Hinata was there and she…knows what I am," Sakura's voice cracked at the end. Sai and Shikamaru's eyes bulged out of their heads.
"She knows?!" The two boys exclaimed in unison. Sakura just nodded and wiped a few tears that escaped from her eyes.
"Let's…just see what happens…and hope to god that she doesn't tell anyone,"

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Come in!" The three teens exclaimed.
"Hey guys…I just got back from a meeting with the council and while I was on my way back home…I felt two chakra's spike all of a sudden…" Tsunade opened the door and glared suspiciously at the two boys, who in turn did the mature thing to do…they whistled and pretended to not have a clue.
"It's okay shishou…they were just cheering me up," Tsunade just sighed but when she looked into Sakura's eyes…they were still lifeless.
"Okay, but Kakashi is here to talk to you three," With that Tsunade left and Kakashi came into the room, his eye crinkling was a sign that he's smiling.
"Yo!"
"Hey kakashi-sensei," Drawled the three teens.
"Well I just wanted to say that the whole school is going on a trip to Iwagakure next week!" Kakashi grinned when he saw all three teenager's eyes grow wide. But he did notice that Sakura's eyes were not showing any emotion whatsoever.
"That's pretty cool," muttered Shikamaru.
"Yeah, even I think I wana go," Sai propped himself up on his elbows.
"Well do you guys wana know the best part of it?" Kakashi spoke to them in such a childish way that it made look like…Hm what's the word…oh yeah…an idiot.
"What?" Even though they looked like they didn't really care, you could tell by their voices that they were pretty excited.
"You guys don't get to go!" Kakashi made a 'tada!' move. All three teenagers just stared at their deranged teacher.
"What? Why not?" Sai was actually annoyed that he couldn't go.
"Because you guys have to stay and protect Konoha…but me and Shizune are going," Kakashi ducked so he could avoid the stuffed animal that was thrown at his head. Kakashi then rubbed his neck sheepishly while he laughed nervously.
"Well…Bye!" With that Kakashi walked away leaving three annoyed teenagers.
"Stupid sensei"
Oooooooooooooo
OOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOO
Oooooooooooooo
"Hinata…are you feeling better?" Neji came in and gave Hinata a tray of food. Hinata just stared at the tray with sad eyes.
"H-Hey n-nii-chan c-can I a-ask y-you a question?" Hinata started to get nervous…she didn't know whether she should tell Neji the truth.
"Yeah sure, what is it?" Hinata bit her lip for a moment before she opened her mouth to speak.
"I-If you e-ever had a-a friend t-t-that didn't tell y-y-you who they r-really were…a-and you suddenly f-f-f-find out…and y-you are horrified at w-what they really a-are…would you s-stop being their f-f-friend?" Hinata decided to keep Sakura's secret…a secret. She had no right to say it because…she didn't listen to Sakura's reason and she felt super terrible for judging Sakura so quickly…but you couldn't blame her.
"Well, I wouldn't stop being their friend because I don't know what they have been through…and maybe there is a reason why they would hide their true selves, and maybe because they're afraid of what their friends would think," Neji's words hit Hinata like a truck running over a chicken. She didn't take everything Neji just said into consideration.
"I-I'm still g-going to a-avoid her for a w-while though," Hinata lowered her eyes to her hands…she just couldn't bare to look at Sakura any time soon. Neji wanted to ask whom Hinata was talking about but he decided against it…it was none of his business anyway.
"All right I will take my leave now Hinata…but just remember…there is a reason behind everything," With that Neji left Hinata's room. Hinata just stared at where her cousin stood, only moments ago.
"I'm a-a-afraid,"
Oooooooooooooo
OOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOO
Oooooooooooooo
"What happened to her?" Kabuto's voice echoed in the dark cave as he watched Suigetsu place Karin roughly onto the medical table.
"W-we came across an ANBU member with an odd hair color," Suigetsu let out a grunt as Kabuto stitched up his wounds. Kabuto then washed his hands when he finished with Suigetsu.
"You do know that Orochimaru-sama will be very annoyed with you two," Kabuto then moved over to Karin and started to clean her wounds.
"Yeah but it wasn't our fault! We didn't know that the ANBU we fought against was…so strong…but she was cute," Suigetsu muttered the last bit of his sentence.
"Wait…you said she had an odd hair color…what was it?" Kabuto looked at Suigetsu but his hands were taking out the bullets that embedded themselves inside Karin.
"Pink," Kabuto froze and his eyes widened. Kabuto then let a smirk grace his lips…
"I know who she is…" Kabuto chuckled darkly before getting back to Karin.
"Kabuto…" Kabuto's head shot up at the new comer's voice…it was creepy and it belonged only to one person…
"Orochimaru-sama…what brings you down here?" Kabuto bowed before he started to stitch Karin back up.
"I have a mission for you," Orochimaru's voice sent chills up Suigetsu's spine.
"What is it?"
"Take out…Haruno Sakura,"
Oooooooooooooo
OOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOO

8. 30 am…

Students littered the area and Sakura did her best to weave through them. Sakura made her way around the back of the school since it was a bit too hard to get in through the front. But as Sakura turned a corner she was slammed against the wall by none other than…Ino. Sakura just stared at her with blank eyes. Ino pondered this for a second, literally, but pushed those thoughts aside before letting a dark smirk play on her lips.
"Hey billboard brow, me and my friends were getting really bored…good thing you came by," Ino expected Sakura to beg like usual but this time…she was greeted with silence. Ino's face scrunched up in annoyance.
"Acting tough won't make us go away you know…anyway you know the drill…just try and ignore the pain," Ino laughed before she cocked her fist back and aimed a punch towards Sakura's face. But before she could land the blow Sakura caught her fist with great ease. Ino's eyes widened.
Sakura just glared at her with cold eyes…
"Not today Ino," Was all sakura said before she shoved Ino away from her. Ino stumbled a bit but before Sakura could get away she grabbed Sakura by the throat.
"You are not getting away from me! You loser!" Ino hissed.
Sakura just glared at her and swiftly grabbed the hand that held her throat and twisted it all the way around. Ino screamed in pain. Sakura then shoved Ino into the wall while she held onto Ino's twisted hand.
"I said…not today," With that Sakura let go of Ino and walked away.

"Okay class! Settle down please!" Kakashi watched as he caught the student's attention.
"Well I have great news! We will be having a school trip to Iwagakure next week! For the people who aren't coming…Kurenai will be the teacher assigned look after you guys all right?" Kakashi looked at Sai, Shikamaru and Sakura when he said 'the people who aren't going'. A round of 'Yes!' Wahoo!' and other shouts of celebration was heard.
Sasuke looked over to Sakura…and he was surprised to see that her eyes weren't shining…like they always usually do.
'I wonder what's wrong' Sasuke's thoughts were interrupted when Kakashi spoke.
"Okay guys…I need to know who's staying behind," Kakashi stood in front of the board, ready to list down names.
"Wait…how much is it though?" A student asked. Kakashi just smiled.
"3500 dollars…" Part of the class stopped celebrating.
"Anyway…hands up!"
"Okay that's…Kiba, Ino, Naruto, Sakura, Sai, Shikamaru, Hinata, Sasuke…all right then," Kakashi wrote the names neatly on the corner of the board.
"But remember…there will be other students from other classes that will spend the week with you guys," Kakashi just got a series of nods from the class.
The bell rang and the students packed their things and left for first period.
Oooooooooooooo
OOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOO
Oooooooooooooo
'Damnit! I let my anger get the better side of me…Hope Ino's as dumb as she looks' Sakura's thoughts were interrupted as she felt Sasuke's stare on her back. She looked up only to see sasuke quickly turn away.
'Crap she saw me…wait! Why should I care?' Sasuke was greatly confused by his thoughts…and by the small blush staining his cheeks.
"Hey sasuke," Naruto nudged Sasuke lightly.
"What is it Dobe?"
"Have you noticed how Hinata-chan and Sakura-chan are avoiding each other?" Sasuke had confusion written all over his face so he decided to take a look. The Dobe was right…Sakura sat all the way at the back…while Hinata sat all the way at the front.
"Do you think they had a fight?"
"How would I know dobe? It's not like I watch them all the time,"
"No, but you watch Sakura-chan all the time," Naruto snickered when he saw the surprised look his best friend gave him…but it soon turned to anger.
"I do not!"
"Yes you do!"
"And! You like her,"
"That's retarded! How and why would I like that…that nerd!"
"Okay Hm…let's see…you stare at her all the time…oh! And your blushing," Naruto smirked evilly when sasuke covered his cheeks like a little 10 year old.
"I do not like her!"
"Whatever you say…and you call me dense pfft,"
"Oh yeah? Well you like Hinata!"
"Proud of it too," Sasuke was getting annoyed at his best friends comebacks.
"Just shut up," Naruto couldn't help but laugh at Sasuke's denial.
Oooooooooooooo
OOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOO
Oooooooooooooo
It was home time and Sakura was making her way out of school until Sasuke pulled her aside.
"Hey…sakura…I just wanted to apologize…for the way I've been treating you," Sasuke forced these words out of his mouth and he tried not to blush in embarrassment when Sakura gave him a ghost of a smile. Though Sasuke took note that even though Sakura was showing emotion…her eyes did not…they were as lifeless…as the image he saw of her in the rain.
"Thank you, Sasuke-san…for your apology," Sakura turned to leave but Sasuke grabbed her wrist.
"A-Are you all right? And please…just call me Sasuke," Sasuke's eyes widened a little when he saw Sakura's eyes regain their shine…but it was only for a mere second…and they went back to their lifeless state.
"Okay…Sasuke," With that Sakura made her way into the forest to get her bike. But Sakura walked right past her motorbike and walked deeper into the forest. When she was certain that no one was looking…she turned around with a glare.
"Come out you bastard…I know you've been following me," Sakura took out her crescent blades from her bag, she took off her vest and put it in her bag before she threw her bag aside.
Clap…Clap…Clap…
"Your sharper then I thought you were…Sakura-san," A man came out from a tree and he walked into Sakura's line of vision.
"You better not underestimate me…Kabuto!" Sakura seethed at the sight of the young man.
"Don't worry Sakura-san, I wouldn't dream of making such a foolish mistake," Kabuto adjusted his glasses while he gave Sakura a wicked smirk.
"Are you ready to face Tsunade's apprentice?" Sakura glared menacingly at Kabuto. Kabuto could see the confidence Sakura held in her hostile eyes…and it sent a shiver up his spine.
"Yes I am," Kabuto unsheathed the Katana that was strapped onto his back. Sakura fixed her grip on her crescent blades.
