Chapter 11: In your hands
Sakura couldn't turn her gaze from the boy, she found herself lost in those jade eyes. Gaara looked at the girl confused, you could have found a little bit of fright hiding in his eyes. Finally turning his gaze from the stunned pink head, he looked at Deidara, glaring at her like she was guilty for every last crime in this world.
"What did you do?" He tried to stay calm, when Deidara smiled at him innocently.
"Nothing that you wouldn't like, un" She winked at him, Gaara glared at her harsher.
"Don't tell me…" His emotionless mask was gone, and shock was written all over his face.
"That blonde just made thing lot easier!" Shukaku roared a laugh.
"…she knows, un" Deidara said simply turning around. "Come on, let's go we don't have all night, un" She yelled out, opening the big window and jumping out. Sakura looked at the girl wide eyed, not knowing what to say. How the hell was she going down?
"Temari?" She whispered looking for the girl, but she unfortunately was gone too. Turning to the window she caught a glimpse of brown and knew that Kankuro left too. Breathing harshly she looked at the red head.
"Shannaro! We're alone with him!"
"Am…" Sakura looked at the ground, when Gaara's gaze landed on her.
"Let's go" He commanded letting a sigh. Sakura looked at him wide eyed.
"How?" Her voice was shaking, she looked down and her eyes widen again. Gaara let another sigh, offering his hand to the shocked girl.
"Come on, get on my back" Sakura gaped at him.
"We're going to crash!" She panicked, her hands shaking. Gaara looked at her with hidden humor.
"He's insane! Cha!"
"Vampire, remember?" Sakura felt like smacking herself.
"But I'm heavy…" The pink head tried to find another excuse, when Gaara just rolled his eyes. Not having time to protest, the next moment he threw the frighten girl across his back. Sakura found herself shaking even more and locked her legs around his waist as secure as she could. Her arms locked around his neck in a choke hold.
"Close your eyes" Gaara said simply, not affected by her hold. Sakura buried her face and his shoulder and squeezed her eyes shut. The next moment she felt him move and closed her eyes tighter. She was trying to get rid of the want to take peek, just wanting to see if they were really jumping, but fortunately she resisted.
Sakura stayed on his back, her eyes tightly shut until he turned at her.
"It's ok" He said softly and Sakura opened her eyes. Looking around she saw a big field. Unlocking herself from the boy, she felt to the ground with a big crash.
"Oh!" Sakura huffed when she was lying on the ground. Crimson stained her cheeks, when Gaara came in her view. She could tell that he was fighting with laughter. Glaring at him, she stood up, dusting herself. Ignoring him once more she made her way to the field holding her head high. Unfortunately she didn't see the pit in front of her and ended on her back once again. Cursing herself mentally she glared at the chuckling boy.
"You don't see that everyday" Shukaku said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"You know, you could help!" She almost yelled trying to get out of the pit. Gaara looked at her, biting his lip, trying not to laugh. That made Sakura even angrier. Getting out she dusted herself once again, and ran to the other's leaving Gaara behind her back. Deidara smiled at her pleasantly, when Sasori got a little bit wide eyed when he saw Gaara coming. Turning his gaze to the blonde he glared at her.
"Deidara…" The older red head almost roared, but the blonde smiled at him sweetly. Sighing deeply, he dropped his head with disapprove making the blonde smile even wider.
"Let's go" She sing sang to them, getting the ball. Sakura looked at her confused.
"What about me?" Deidara looked at her raising an eyebrow, when suddenly she realized that she forgot about the pink head.
"Well…" The blonde girl looked around. "…stay there" She pointed and Sakura nodded slightly. Reaching for Sasori Deidara dared towards the field leaving Sakura behind.
Kankuro was speeding through the field, Gaara was not far behind trying to get the ball back. Sakura found herself staring at the red head, when he got the ball and made Kankuro trip on his own two feet. Deidara was dancing not far behind; her steps were easy and gentle. Sasori didn't look frighten at all, when Gaara ran to him, ready to kick a goal. Sakura let a breath that she didn't know that she was holding when Gaara past the ball to Deidara and the game was getting faster, when suddenly a strange thing happen. Deidara stopped running and with a cry of pain felt to her knees. Sakura got wide eyed and was about to run to her friend, but Sasori was much faster.
"What is it?" He asked holding the shaking blonde in his arms. "What did you see?"
"Someone is coming, un" She choke out, looking wildly around, when her gaze landed on the pink head.
"Whose coming?" Kankuro asked confused, Temari gulped visible.
"Vam-vampires" The blonde girl stuttered. "Thirsty" She whispered the last part out, but it was enough for Gaara to hear. Getting wide eyed he bend down to the blonde's eye level.
"How many?" He demanded aggressively.
"Three" Not hearing more he turned to Sakura and a moment later was in front of her.
"What is it?" She whispered out, not getting what was happening.
"Someone is coming" He said trying to cover his fright and stay calm. Sakura's eyes widen, her heart started racing. Seconds later Deidara was by her side.
"I don't like this" Sakura though trying to calm down her nerves.
"I'm sorry Sakura, un" Deidara whispered out, looking around. Taking another breath, Sakura still didn't understand what was happening, but something told her it wasn't good. Gaara seemed tense, ready to defend her if needed.
Every body turned to the same direction, when suddenly three male forms appeared meters away. First of them had long black hair, his pale skin looked unhealthy and his yellow eyes reminded Sakura snakes. The second one was taller and looked younger. He had silver hair and his glasses showed in the moonlight. And the last one that really caught Sakura's attention was the youngest one. Now when they were a little closer, Sakura could tell that they were a lot different from her friends. They looked more dangerous and wild like. Not waiting for anything, Sasori stepped in the front greeting them.
"A game?" The man in front of them asked, his golden snake like eyes flicked on Sasori. Sakura felt Gaara stiffen.
"Yes, want to join?" The older red head asked simply, with no emotions. The black head chuckled loudly.
"We'll pass. I'm Orochimaru, this is Kabuto and Sasuke" He pointed to the each vampire. Sakura's gaze lingered on the last one, who looked emotionless at her.
"I'm Sasori and this is my family" He said not introducing them, afraid for Sakura. Unfortunately she wasn't unnoticed.
"You brought a snake? Or she's your pet?" Orochimaru asked following Sasuke's gaze. Sakura's heart started racing.
"No, she's a part of the family" Sasori said, trying to act it calm. Kabuto took a small step closer to the girl, Gaara growled at him.
"How could this be?" Orochimaru tapped his chin surprised, eyeing the pink head like she was some kind of food. "She's a human"
"Of course she is" Temari looked at the silver head, standing by Gaara's side.
"Interesting" Orochimaru whispered, when suddenly something glimpsed in his eyes. Straightening up he smirked at them. "Unfortunately we have to leave now, maybe we'll meet again" He said turning on his heel, Kabuto nodded and went after. Just one of them didn't move: Sasuke.
"Is something wrong?" Gaara's voice came out like a growl. Sasuke's wild eyes flicked on the red head.
"She's human" Sasuke said still not believing. Orochimaru stopped and turned to the raven head.
"Sasuke, we're leaving" He repeated himself angrily, but Sasuke didn't move. His gaze landed on Sakura again, and his lips curled back, showing his sharp teeth. Gaara took a small step in front of her, covering her with his body. Sasuke growled.
"Sasuke!" The shout was heard again, but it didn't affect Sasuke. Moments later he was in front of Sakura, moving his arms to catch her, but unfortunately for him Gaara was much faster. Everybody watched wide eyed, when the red head pushed Sakura to the ground and took the blow that was meant for her. Sasuke's eyes widen when he realized what the boy done. Moments later the raven head was send flying to the nearest tree. Deidara helped the girl up and glared at Orochimaru.
"Leave, un" Her voice was shaking from emotions. Kabuto helped Sasuke from the ground and moments later they were gone. Turning to Gaara her eyes held worry.
"They'll try to act it out, un" She informed him and the younger red head nodded. Grabbing the stunned pink head he threw her on his back once again and started racing through the forest. Sakura locked to him as hard as she could, but her eyes kept opened. Finally finding the courage she relaxed a bit.
"Why?" Her voice was shaking, and it came out as a whisper, but Gaara heard it.
"Because…" He breathed out. "I need you know…"
"Boy, you just got yourself in a big trouble" Shukaku said, but Gaara didn't care. Now Sakura was more important to him.
Oh God Orochimaru showed up, that could only mean trouble.
