Chapter 10
Sakura just stared at the new arrivals but had no time to question. "Great you three!" exclaimed Deidara joining Sasori on the ground. Gaara looked at them and moving his outstretched hand towards them. "Time to move Deidara!" said Sasori, and with that they climbed on Deidara's large clay bird and took flight just has the sand was about to grab them. "This isn't that last you've seen of us pinky!" shouted Deidara and flew away. Once gone Sasuke walked up to the other three people. "Lord Gaara, Termari , Kankuro." Greeted Sasuke. Gaara just nodded, "Good to see you so soon Sasuke." Said Termari. Kankuro giving a wave. "What brings you all here?" asked Sasuke. "Been hunting down those two in order to figure out what there little organisation is after." Replied Termari. "So care to explain who pinky is here?" asked Kankuro looking at Sakura, who had just come up behind Sasuke. "Sakura Haruno, Sasuke's secret protector." Stated Sakura, "Man I hate being called pinky!" thought Sakura. "So Sasuke has a babysitter huh?" asked Kankuro with a sly grin on his face. Sasuke was about to punch him but Termari beat him to it. Sasuke turned to Gaara. "Will you be staying the night?" he asked. "No, we have business to take care of."replied Gaara coolly. Sasuke just nodded. "Termari, Kankuro we're leaving!" stated Gaara, who started walking. "Coming!" both shouted in unison. "See you around." Said Termari following Gaara. "Don't get to carried away now Sasuke." Said Kankuro with another sly grin on his face. Sasuke was about to hit him but Sakura got to him first and sent him flying in the distance and landed just ahead of Gaara. Once they had left Sakura started laughing. Sasuke just stared at her feeling a smile tug at his lips. Once she had clamed down she thought it be best to head back and Sasuke agreed, only to find the horses had run off. So they started walking, when they were half why there the sun was already setting. "You know today was fun!" stated Sakura. "How so?" asked Sasuke looking at her. "First had a good run in with some bad guys, then I met some new people and I got to see Kankuro's face when I sent him flying!"she said chuckling lightly. Sasuke had to agree with her on that last one, chuckling a bit himself at the look on his face. As they slowly walked towards the city there hands slowly tangled themselves with each other. A smile plastered on Sakura's face and a smirk on Sasuke's.
"So Deidara and Sasori failed?" asked a figure looking at the couple in the distance. "Yeah, got orders from the leader saying that if we want to take this kingdom we have to get rid of your brother, but now with his new bodyguard he says to take her out. Got any ideas how?" asked a man whose blue skin was shining in the moonlight. "Yes, we're going to separate them and capture the girl and then deal with my brother." Said the other man whose red eyes were staring intently at the two in the distance. "Sakura Haruno will be in our hands."
