Chapter 10: The riddle
"Did we lose him?" Sakura panted out finally stopping to take a breath. The screams of dying victims filled the air making the poor girl jump from fright and nervously look around. The red head could tell that she would snap any second from the stress. Looking at the boy Sakura repeated herself. Gaara nodded firmly, Ino was still in his arms fighting death. The poor girl looked like she would pass out any second. Her skin was turning unhealthy pale from the blood loss.
"Ino what happened?" Sakura pleaded from the sudden. Looking around nervously, her eyes were wild and her heart was beating hard against her ribs and looked like it would pop out any second. Ino opened her eyes just a little and turned her head to her panicking friend trying to open her dry mouth and say something useful. "Where's Kankuro?" The blonde's gaze softened when she looked at the ground trying to avoid Sakura's eyes.
"I don't know…" The girl's voice was faint and broke into coughs of blood. Sakura's eyes widen when she looked at the sight. Mentally cursing herself for leaving the medic kit she listen what her friend had to say more. "We were going with Matsuri, but then she always was taking about you…" Ino looked at the red head, whose eyes hardened just a bit. "…And Kankuro got annoyed, so he went looking for you. He said to wait for him, but Matsuri just ran of leaving me alone. Then a felt something hit my head, and.." Tears started stinging her eyes. "I don't know where he is" Sakura looked at the ground, her eyes held sadness and anger.
"That Matsuri! Shannaro! I hope something eats her!" Inner screamed in Sakura's head.
"Do you think he's…?" Sakura questioned the red head trying to avoid what looked obvious. Gaara looked at her angrily not believing what she just blurred out.
"No" His voice was ice cold and made shivers run down Sakura's back. The girl nodded trying to believe his words.
"How the hell are we going to get out of here?" She muttered looking around the hall once again. It was dark and wet. Some odd smell filled the air. Slumping to the ground she felt something hard under her.. Gaara looked at her and shrugged not knowing what to do next. Putting Ino on the ground he sat next to her rubbing his temples.
"I don't have any ideas" He breathed out looking around when he heard some movement. "Maybe the door?" Sakura sighed shaking her head. Looking confused at the ground where she sat minutes ago Sakura saw some metal curves and her eyes widen. Touching the metal letters with her fingertips, she started reading out loud.
"Thy soul shall find itself alone, 'Mid dark thoughts of the grey tomb-stone…" Gaara looked at the girl confused, before taking a small step next to her.
"What is it?" He questioned, but Sakura didn't pay attention to him. She found herself lost in those words.
"Not one, of all crowd, to pray into thine hour of secrecy…" Her eyes widen even more.
"Sakura?"
"Be silent in that solitude, which is not loneliness for then… The spirits of the death who stood in life before thee, are again…" Sakura's hands started shaking when she realized what it was. "It's like a riddle"
"What?" Gaara asked getting even closer, his eyes landed on the metal writing. You could tell that he was annoyed.
"Don't you understand? We're the ones who begun this mess by getting here!" The pink head yelled looking around for some more of the writing. "The spirits of the death who stood in life before thee, are again… In other words, when they life that means us, stepped in here and woke of the spirits of the death"
"And how to make them sleep again?" Gaara asked raising a none existing eyebrow.
"I'm searching for it" She murmured, her eyes lit up when she saw more of the writing. "In death around thee, and their will, Shall overshadow thee; be still."
"That means they will try to kill us won't they?" Gaara asked glancing at the semi-unconscious Ino. Sakura nodded.
"Damn it! There's a peace missing…" She muttered from the sudden, Gaara's eyes widen just a bit.
"So what do we do?" He asked getting on his feet. Sakura's eyes showed courage when she looked at her bloody friend.
"Find it, before it's too late…"

Matsuri walked through the chamber disgust. How could anyone live in something so dirty like it? The floor was mouldy every where she took a step, somewhere not far she heard some noise that sounded like screaming and the rats just showed themselves here and there.
"Ugh, I can't believe I'm here" The girl muttered taking another step on the old carpet that looked older then this all house. "This place is just one big disaster…" She looked around just to spot a shadow disappearing behind the corner. Her heart started beating faster, taking a deep breath she turned around.
"I can't believe that dickhead Naruto made me go with them…" She brushed the locks from her face and tried to ignore the screams and the shadow that was fallowing her. "And that bitch Sakura is just like him, trying to steal my Gaara…" Matsuri's voice broke down when she felt something breathing on her neck. Suddenly she felt cold and a finger went down her collarbone. Turning around quickly to the source her eyes widen when she came fast to fast with a man that she never saw before. His eyes were the color of blood and his face looked calm and beautiful, but something told Matsuri that he wasn't human. Taking a step back from him, she gulped and was about to run away when suddenly his ice cold arm caught her shoulder stopping the stunned girl.
"I have a job for you…" He said calmly, but his eyes showed bloodlust that really scared Matsuri.
"What kind?" The brunette asked timidly. Now she could have done anything to save herself.
"The kind that would erase your troubles" Her eyes held confusion, the man smirked at the girl taking her face in his hands and drawing circles on her cheeks with his sharp nails that would definatly leave scars. "Erase Sakura…"
That sneaky Matsuri! I bet she's going to do anything to harm Sakura!
A riddle? Will they get out? I don't own it.
