Chapter Ten

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto-kun. But he's so damn cute!

Sasuke raised his head and looked over to the crying form of Sakura.

"Sakura. Stop crying, whats the matter?" he asked without getting up from the rock.

"Did something bite you—?" Sakura raised her head to look at Sasuke. Her face was pale and white and her eyes red like before. Sasuke stood up.

"Sakura…?" he asked, Sakura slowly raised herself onto her feet, breathing hard.

"Sakura, are you alright?" Sasuke reached out his hand.

"Sakura…?" Sakura moved her lips and bared her teeth. Canine teeth were growing in her gums. Dark blood was oozing from her mouth and onto the ground. Sakura gave a mighty growl and bit Sasuke's hand.

"…" Sasuke flinched at the sudden pain, but didn't say anything.

"What are you?" Sakura's eyes turned wide.

"What have you done with Sakura?" Sakura let go of Sasuke hand and looked utterly shocked.

"Father…" Said Sakura, Sasuke stared at her.

"Father… Must…" Sakura bared her teeth again.

"DIE!" After a mighty rip of flesh, two pairs of silk white wings sprouted from Sakura's back. Blinding white light followed after causing Sasuke to back away and close his eyes. With a sudden lift of emotion, Sasuke felt very happy. Very… cleansed. Like all the troubles of the world were lifted from his shoulders, like the god Atlas being relieved from carrying the world on his shoulders. When the light ceased, Sasuke opened his eyes. Sakura was gone. From above he could hear the mighty echo of wings flapping. He looked up. And low and behold, was Sakura Haruno. Flying upwards into the sky.

"Sakura!" he called, he thought for a minute and then raced to the tree nearest to Sakura and focused chakra to his feet, soon, he was running up the trunk of the tree. The branches and needled stuck in his hair as he climbed higher and higher and higher until he was on top. He focused what was left of his chakra and jumped up to Sakura, and currented his chakra on the air.

As he jumped into the air, he caught a fair glimpse of Sakura. Her hair was flailing and her teeth were bared.

"I'm sorry Sakura." He said and dived over to her. Hugging her similarly to when he was fixed with the Cursed Seal. He held on tight until he could feel the blinding light once more and had some courage left over to look up to her. Her hair was wild and her mouth was open like a large hole. Her red glaring eyes turned once more into shimmering green and her pale skin turned again into a light peach color. She closed her eyes and the light fully stopped, Sakura became limp and started to fall like a rag doll thrown into the air. She was going down. Sasuke with her.

"Hurry your ass up a bit Fuzzy Eyebrows!" called Naruto as he turned around once again to face the road.

"Fine, fine. I'm coming."

"Wait." Said the little dog, Pakkun. Naruto sighed.

"The last time you said to 'wait' you smelled out another bitch!"

"Female dog!" cried Lee.

"It's the same bloody thing, so, what do you smell? Bones, bitches—?"

"Sakura Blossoms. You dobe." Said the summoned dog. Lee smacked his polished head.

"Of course! That's what I smelt a few minutes ago! Know I know why Kakashi summoned you to help us!" he called, Naruto rolled his eyes.

"Where is it coming from?" he asked, Pakkun poked his paw north.

"Thataway." He announced. Lee and Naruto were off like bullets.

"Must save Sakura-chan! Must save Sakura!" Cried a loud voice inside Sasuke's head. Sasuke closed his eyes, trying to think, the wind rushing past the two. Sakura knocked out, and Sasuke beside himself. Sakura was mumbling things like 'sorry' and 'thank you' to her, Sasuke was thinking hard to try and save them… or at least Sakura. He finally got an idea. He started to gather chakra in his chest, and then rolled out a huge fire ball. It hit the ground and started to burn, by the time Sasuke and Sakura had gotten to it, it had burned out and a small but deep pond. With a huge splash, Sasuke and Sakura made it. But just barely.

"Tsunade-sama! Tsunade-sama!" called a irritable voice, old Tsunade Hokage of Konoha turned around in her revolving chair after taking a mouthful of shake.

"What is it know? More freakin' paperwork?" she asked sarcastically, and then poured herself another round of shake. The messenger, a teenager around 17, shook his head.

"No ma'am. It's Sakura Haruno. She's been…"

"What?" asked Tsunde in a urgent tone?

"Well… kidnapped." She glared at him, "Ma'am!" Tsunade stood up.

"When? Where has she gone!" she asked woozily,

"We don't know. But we think she took off weeks ago…"

"Then why wasn't it reported weeks ago, damn it!" she cried.

"Because we only found out today, Hokage-sama. When you ordered me to go and get her for a meeting…? And she wasn't there. I looked around her house, and saw that the bathroom door was knocked down, (Naruto did that after he figured it out. He just kicked the door down. Hehe…) and water in the bathtub. It was freezing cold—"

"SHE WAS KIDNAPPED WHILE IN THE BATHTUB!"

………………………………………………

Heyya peps, whatcha been up to while I was gone? (Not much.) Ok then, wait…. I'm not done here goddamnit! I'm still a writing. So carry on with your reading…

Sasuke opened his eyes very slowly, his eye lids opening to take in all the sights around him. He was in water, his body felt it, and… he could hear water. On top of him, he felt warmth. Then, after recalling what had happened only minutes before, lifted his head to find Sakura. And you can just guess what the warmth was? Sakura her eyes closed her hair in tangles and mingled with blood. On her back were two huge rips in her clothes were the wings grew. Itachi was right. Sakura was an angel.
