3:00 p.m Konoha Kindergarten 2 More Days Until Sakura's Birthday
"Are you sure this is necessary?" Rin said to Karin. The trio had hid behind a bush, waiting for dear little Sakura-chan to come out from the school.
The bell had rung exactly 3 minutes ago, in which case the three hurriedly tried to get out before the target did.
"Of course it is," Karin said annoyed. "We have to make sure Sakura-chan isn't able to attend her own birthday party tomorrow... because she'll be dead." Karin said with an evil smile.
Ami and Rin exchanged nervous glances. They knew Karin had gone too far with the plan this time. For all they cared, Sakura could have Sasuke.
But Karin didn't seem to think so.
"I don't know," Ami said shifting a bit from the bush. "Killing someone...is... is just wrong." Karin sighed. "If your going to back out, I'll have to kill you too."
Ami gulped. Sure, she wanted to save the little cherry blossom. But she didn't want to be killed in the process, so she quickly shut up.
Rin sighed. "Okay, everyone ready?" Ami and Rin nodded. "Initiating Mission: Fallen Blossom has comensed." Rin and Ami just looked at Karin for a moment.
Karin seemed annoyed, then in a voice as if she was talking to an idiot she said, "We are now getting Sasuke away from Sakura long enough to kill her."
"Oh!" Rin and Ami got up and walked over to where Sasuke and Sakura stood waiting for their mothers.
Karin sighed. I wonder why I have such idiotic friends...
But of course, they weren't really her friends. They were more of her servants, than ever a friend. Because, a friend is someone who would do things for you, not because you told them to. But because they want to. And that is a lesson Karin will soon learn.
Maybe not in the easiest way though.
Wuth Sasuke and Sakura
Sasuke looked up at the sky. Something's not right... I looked at Sasuke. "Are you okay?" Sasuke turned to me, he seemed scared or at least concerned.
"Walk with me." I titled my head. It looked like he wasn't going to give me an explanation. I sighed. "Okay Sasuke-kun!" I smiled brightly.
He half-smiled. Then his eyes narrowed as he looked at the road infront of us.
Where is Okaa-san?
With Naruto and Hinata
"Okay Hinata, be very quiet," Naruto said as he looked for Sasuke and Sakura. He heard Karin talking about the plan with her friends. Maybe it wasn't smart to go at it alone, even if he had Hinata with him.
He should've called Itachi or something. But hey, this was Naruto. "I-I see Sakura-chan and Sasuke-san." Hinata said pointing over to the tree.
"Wheres Mikoto-san and Sayuri-san?" Naruto asked himself. Somethings not right... "Come on Hinata, we need to wait for Karin to start her plan. I'll follow Teme and you follow Sakura-chan." Hinata nodded.
"And if either of us need any help," Naruto said, taking out 2 whistles. "Blow throw this." Naruto handed her a purple whistle, keeping the orange one to himself.
"Hai," Hinata said as Naruto took position, somewhere behind the bush Karin was. "And N-Naruto-kun?" He looked at her. "Be careful," She said with a small smile. Naruto smiled brightly.
"You too." He said as Hinata made her way behind Sasuke and Sakura without them noticing.
Naruto had also told the others about it, Ino said she was going to be looking after Sakura also. Tenten tagged along with Ino. While Neji and Shikamaru hid up in a tree just in case Naruto or the girls needed help.
Naruto smiled a bit. We're ready, Karin.
With Karin, Rin and Ami
"Okay... Rin now!" Karin said as Rin took off to Sasuke. Karin turned to Ami. "Wait in the park, if you see any sign of Sakura's friends... Take them down."
Ami nodded, and headed off to the designated area. Karin looked at the two waiting by the tree.
She smirked to herself. You're going to wish you never met Sasuke-kun... Just you wait...
Just you wait...
With Rin
"Sasuke-kun!" Rin said as she ran towards the two. Sasuke glared at her as she stood infront of them.
"That's it...say what we rehearsed..." Karin said from the bush. Rin gulped. Even though she couldn't see their leader, she knew she was watching.
"Iruka-sensei wants you to come inside for a moment," Sasuke started to pull Sakura along as he made his way to the entrance of the school. "Oh wait!" She said as she tried to catch up with him.
Sasuke merely glared. "What?" Sakura looked at Sasuke, he looked so annoyed by her. Sakura sighed. Well... I don't think Sasuke-kun is going to change any time soon...
Rin looked slightly taken a back. "Iruka-sensei wants to see you... alone." Glancing over to me. "Oh," I said letting go of Sasuke's hand. "It's okay Sasuke-kun, I'll tell Okaa-san to wait a bit." He nodded.
With The Two Mothers
It seems as if they had completely forgotten to pick the two up. Itachi sighed. Somethings missing... If only he knew what was missing, his own brother and Sakura-chan.
"Itachi-chan," Mikoto said from the ladder she was standing on. "Can you hand me the tape?" Itachi threw the tape at her, she caught it. "Arigatou!" The two were wrapping up Sakura's presents.
They had bought so many for her, using the father's credit cards of course. They decided to buy her some new clothes, a red and pink ribbon for her hair, a new bicycle, some candy... and so many other things!
The two fathers were shocked once they got the bill...
"I hope Sakura-chan likes this!" Sayuri said as she wrapped another present for her daughter. Mikoto nodded.
Itachi didn't feel like helping, he said wrapping presents was... well boring. So instead he promised he would hide them away from Sakura once they were done.
But he couldn't stop thinking... that something was missing.
With Sasuke and Rin
With one last look at Sakura sitting beside the tree, he opened the school's entrance. He didn't notice Rin's worried eyes.
She didn't want to do it, she didn't want to help Karin anymore. But of course, she didn't want to get killed. She sighed. Please forgive me... Sasuke-san, Sakura-san...
Sasuke reached the classroom's door. "Iruka-sensei?" He said as he walked in. There was no one in the room. Sasuke turned to Rin. Rin didn't dare meet his gaze. "Sorry... Sasuke-san." And with that she closed the door, locking it in the process.
It took Sasuke a moment to figure out what just happened. But at that moment he didn't care. He was too busy thinking of what was happening with Sakura-chan.
With Naruto, Shikamaru, and Neji
"Did you see that!?" Naruto whispered to the two. All three of them were now up in the tree. Neji and Shikamaru nodded. "Before we get Sasuke out, we need to get Karin." Naruto nodded.
The three jumped down to the bush. No one was there. "W...What?" Naruto said confused. Shikamaru got down on his knees. "She left a note." Neji and Naruto leaned in closer, it read--
By the time you find me, I've already killed your dear Sakura-chan.
Naruto's eyes narrowed as he read on...
And, don't bother trying to stop me. My 'helpers' would have you killed by the time you get here. It's a shame, Sakura-chan is only 5 years old. And there she goes, dieing. Only a day before her birthday. Tsk, if only Sasuke-kun liked me and not that bitch, none of this would happen. What a pity.
-Karin
The three looked at eachother. "We can't let her do this guys," Neji said. Naruto nodded. "Let's get Sasuke out first, then find Karin.The girls will handle everything until we get there." Shikamaru said as he lead the group over to the classroom.
With Hinata, Ino and Tenten
The three had spread themselves throughout Leaf Park. Hinata was worried beyond anything for her little cherry blossom friend.
Tenten and Ino were ready to hit Karin with the kunais they brought once she entered the park. They didn't notice Ami close by.
But she noticed them. And she didn't do anything to stop them, she liked Sakura. Much better than Karin at least, but she didn't want to die. So she followed Karin's orders.
Hinata hid up in a tree, while Tenten was in a nearby bush. Ino was standing behind the gate, sure so that she was the first one to spot either Karin or Rin.
Ami sighed, she didn't want to hurt them. She just had to.
With Sakura and Rin
Rin had appeared outside once she was done with Sasuke. She walked towards Sakura. I looked up at her from the bench I was sitting on. I glanced at my watch, it was already 3:30. Where could Okaa-san be...
I dropped my hand once I saw Rin coming near. "Wheres Sasuke-kun?" I asked. "You shouldn't be worrying about Sasuke, not now that you have yourself to worry about." I looked at her in a confused manner. "Wh-- Hey don't- ow!"
Rin had kicked Sakura in the shins, then tackling her over to a nearby bush, then tieing her. It happened so fast, that I didn't even have the chance to scream as Rin began to carry me to the park.
I didn't know what was happening, all I knew was that it wasn't going to be good.
Not good at all.
