blackheart01: Hey, peepz! Long time no read, neh? *weakly grins*
Sasuke: Hn...
blackheart01: Neh, Sasuke-kun don't be so mean!!! I went through a lot this week before I was able to update!
Sasuke: A lot?
Sakura: Why? What happened blackheart01-chan? (worried)
blackheart01: *serious mode* (sigh) Well, you see...I live in the Philippines and last Saturday we had this really, really huge storm. Me and my classmates were in school and we got stranded there for 24 hours. When it was night time, there was a black-out. But on the dark-...I mean bright side, we have food supplies since we were at our school lab (kitchen) and we're a group of resourceful and great cooks. Heheheh... It was the "Best-Worst day of our Lives"...
...Sadly, many lives were sacrificed and most survivors like us, consider ourselves lucky that were alive and well...
...Please help me pray for those people who lost their lives and the families who were affected...Thank you
blackheart01: *turns happy mode* Okay, now let's read the next chapter!!! Wish you like it!!!
(Disclaimer Applied)
Chapter 11: Worried Uchiha
Both teenagers remained unfazed. One was already expecting this to happen, while the other was hiding his surprise.
"Haruno, 'mind telling me who these people are?" Sasuke asked despite him already having a clue.
"Mou! And here I thought you already know!" she grunted disappointedly. "Oh well, if you really have to know. Sasuke, meet your kidnappers. Kidnappers, meet your victim, Sasuke" she gestured casually, like as if she was introducing someone familiar.
The men looked at Sakura cautiously but stood on their guard.
The pink-haired girl started to move but Sasuke pulled her by her collar. Again. This made her grimace. "You seem to like doing that, don't you?"
"'Sorry. Reflex" he excused.
"Well...?" she gazed at him expectantly.
"Ummm… they have weapons and you don't have anything" he pointed out the obvious.
"Sooo?" she questioned raising an eyebrow.
"It's dangerous"
She smirked. "I'm the one who's dangerous..."
About three men launched towards them, kunais at hand. Sasuke started to pose in a fighting stance, but before he could move about, Sakura was already in front of him.
"I'm sorry young master, but I won't allow you to fight today" she grinned at him playfully. "By the way, do you want them dead or just unconscious?"
"Just unconscious" he replied automatically, unaware of what he was saying.
"Okay" she shrugged. Her hand shot up to his wrist and before he could ask what she was doing. There was a familiar beeping sound. Within three seconds, he was inside the force field again.
Sakura gave him a mock salute before facing her opponents. All three kunais were directed in her direction. She was like a flash of lightning. She moved effortlessly as she took out their weapons and knocked them out in a second by hitting their pressure points.
Four other men started to come and attack her in all four directions, three of them had senbons and one had a kunai with him. Sakura bent down and swung her legs roughly; hitting their legs and making them trip on their feet. She hit all of them at the back of their neck simultaneously after that.
One attempted to come up behind her and Sasuke saw that she doesn't look aware of the attacker since she was busy with another set of ninja look-alikes. He tried to switch off the force field but it wouldn't budge.
What the--?!
He pushed the button again but nothing happened. He even tried punching and kicking the force field like as if it would get him out of there. Still the cave-like field remained still, trapping him with his own shouts of warning.
His eyes widen as the man was now holding the girl, his katana held against her throat.
"Haruno!" he shouted but he knew it was useless. She wouldn't be able to hear him.
The cold metal was on her throat. It was already obvious that she noticed it.
But her reaction was unexpected though. She was grinning like as if she was a kid winning against her playmates in a game.
"Give up already and surrender the boy" the man said in a gruff voice, under his black mask.
"What if I say 'NO'?" she mocked. It only made the sword go deeper to her throat, causing her to earn a red mark on her neck.
"We won't hesitate to kill you" the man replied in a lower and angrier voice. He was brave enough to say something like that even though he literally feels that the girl was a threat. He knew that he had the upper hand but then again, Sakura had beaten almost all of his associates.
"Well then, let's see you try" she challenged.
The guy didn't speak anymore and did not waver when he lifted up his katana above the pink-haired girl's heart area, and then—
SWISH—
Blood started to drip on the floor.
Sasuke's eyes widened.
"SAKURA!!!"
"Sasuke-sama?"
"What?!" Sasuke snapped at her.
"I-I…err… Are you mad at me?" she meekly asked the boy in front of her.
"You think?!" he growled.
Sakura nervously laughed. Sasuke really reminded her of her father when he was upset with her.
"Gomen ne" she lowered her head trying to avoid any reaction he's giving.
"What are you saying sorry for?" the boy asked, puzzled.
His tone caught her off-guard. "Huh?" she looked up at him.
"Why are you apologizing? You're the one who got hurt because of saving me from those guys" he muttered under his breath, almost impossible for her to hear if they weren't close enough.
"It's my…job" her cheeks went slightly flushed when she was caught on his intense gaze. Sasuke noticed this as well and his frown quickly vanished.
"—Itai! (Ouch!)" she squeaked, as she felt pain.
"S-Sorry" Sasuke said and quickly let go of her hand. He hadn't noticed that his hold on her injured right hand, tightened.
"Don't worry, I was just startled" she grinned. She examined Sasuke's work and smiled warmly. "Thanks. I'm really not that good in binding my hand if it isn't my right hand that I'm using"
"Hn" Sasuke looked away and remembered how she got wounded...
Flashback:
The guy didn't speak anymore and did not waver when he lifted up his katana above the pink-haired girl's heart area, and then—
SWISH—
Blood started to trickle on the floor.
Sasuke's eyes widened.
"SAKURA!!!" Sasuke's voice echoed inside the force field.
Sakura index and middle finger had caught the blade of the razor-sharp weapon. However, it was her sprained hand that had caught it, causing it to cut through her fingers. Her blood started to trickle from her finger, to her hand and arm, and down on the ground.
The man in black's (A/N: M.I.B.? Hehehe…) eyes formed into slits. He tried pulling the katana from her hold but he was flabbergasted when he couldn't even move it.
"Haven't anyone taught you to never hit a girl?" she smirked. "Especially someone who can do…THIS!" Sakura twisted her hand with the sword coming up with it, making it fly from their hands. After that, she gripped the man's arm that was clinging on her neck. She used her strength to pull it down and then she slammed the man's body down, real hard on the concrete floor. (A/N: I really should stop watching wrestling T.T (grins while scratching the back of her head)
Sasuke was both relieved and stunned as he saw the whole scene. He really should stop irritating this girl if he didn't want that to happen to him.
Some time later, the raven-haired Uchiha was released from his 'prison ball'.
"Hey, I'm sorry I forgot to tell you about—"Sakura was unable to speak when Sasuke came up to her and clutched her shoulders.
"What's wrong with you?! You almost gave me a heart attack! Why didn't this thing worked?!" he was angry (and secretly worried) and he knew he had the right, but then he stopped when he saw her flinch…
End of Flashback…
After being reminded of her injury, he went easy on her. He let go of her arms and quickly hauled her over his shoulder without a word, despite her obvious struggle and protests. He went down towards the nurse's office and completely ignored the intriguing and curious looks directed at them by the students who pass by them. The nurse immediately came to their aid but Sasuke requested that he'd be the one to do it and that they will be left alone. Although she was a bit doubtful, the young nurse agreed discreetly because of the look Sasuke was giving her.
"Sasuke-sama?" Sakura's curious voice floated through the room.
"You're doing it again"
"What am I doing again?" the girl innocently asked.
"My name"
"Oh…right"
"By the way, you forgot to tell me why this little invention of yours didn't work at the rooftop" he said showing the thing on his wrist.
"Well…I was about to inform you but then you…ummm…spoke first" she muttered and found the floor interesting to look at.
The boy just raised an eyebrow and waited for her explanation.
"I also have control on that watch" Sakura showed him a watch that was hidden underneath her long sleeve. "However, this has much more power than yours, that's why it was following my command than yours"
"And your command was what? To trap me inside that field and let you fight those guys alone?" he scowled.
"Pretty much" she shrugged casually. "I knew you'd want to butt in so I did that"
"Why won't you let me fight?"
"It would get a little complicated if I had to worry on your condition while I was fighting and besides, I'm only gonna protect you when we are at school. Right after you step out of this place you're free to do suicide for all I care. That was part of the contract."
"Thanks, how thoughtful of you" Sasuke commented, sarcastically.
"You're welcome" she grinned, playfully bowing her head.
"Haruno…"
"Yes?"
"Don't… Don't do something reckless like that again" he sighed holding his hand out to her.
"Hai!" she smiled and took his hand.
Both of them came out the clinic, only to be surprised when they opened the door….
To be continued…
