Sakura jogged trying to get to school before the rain got heavier. She ran into the school taking her jacket off, hearing a whistle behind her. She looked seeing Ino behind her smiling as she looked her up and down.

"Wooow, lookin good Sakura" She said with a big smile "What's the occasion?"

"Oh…I just felt like dressing nice today" she said looking at herself, fixing her denim skirt and her button down.

"Yeah sure" Ino said walking past her "There's no girl that I've seen that doesn't dress as nice as you are today…just because they feel like it. Your trying to impress a certain someone"

"Oh shut up Ino" Sakura said as she rolled her eyes walking into the lunchroom "Honestly is it wrong for a girl to want to change the way she dresses, just to look nice?"

"I guess not" Ino said, both her and Sakura laughing, but soon stopped when they saw a crowd of people around the table they usually sit at. They both walked over quickly making they're way through the crowd, seeing Tenten crying frantically to Naruto and Sasuke.

"All right break it up people" Ino said pushing people away. Naruto and Hinata got up bringing Tenten to a hall way where not many people were around. Sasuke stood there for a moment, grabbing my hand and dragging me along with him as he followed Naruto and Hinata.

"Now tell us what happened?" Naruto said looking a little confused

"I don't know…I-I was just walking with Neji, when this guy…he came out of no where, but Neji seemed to recognize him-" Tenten said between tears

"Neji's dead" Sasuke said before she even got the words out, she looked up at him covering her mouth as she broke down even more. Sasuke shook his head, closing his eyes. Naruto turned around, facing Sasuke.

"They got Neji" Naruto sighed "I was so sure he was going to make it!"

Sasuke stood silent. Naruto seemed angry as he stared at Sasuke.

"So they got their Demon…now what?!" Naruto hissed "I knew we should have stayed together as a group, but no, you insisted that we all separate!"

"Hey don't go blaming me for this. How the hell was I suppose to know they were going to get to him. Neji was so sure he could handle himself…we all were, so shut up!" Sasuke said, glaring at Naruto, though his expression changed "We all made mistakes, and now we're paying for them"

"Sasuke there's has to be something we can do…you and Naruto are the only ones left. If they get you both-" Hinata said sadly

"No" Sasuke interrupted "it won't be over…They still need another person, even after they've taken us"

"Sasuke please stop talking like they're going to capture you, please"

"I'm sorry Hinata, but the truth is at this point the chances are high" Sasuke said sadly "they might"

"Wait what's going on?" Sakura asked, feeling both nervous and confused. Naruto and Sasuke looked at her, then at each other. Sasuke sighed for a moment, "Hey Sakura can you go back in the lunchroom for a moment. I'll come back to talk to you"

"Um…all right" she said walking into the lunchroom again, bumping into Karin. She rolled her eyes.

"Hey Sakura" she said with her famous fake smile "Listen I wanna apologize for being so mean in class to you the other day"

"Right. Please Karin I'm really not in the mood to deal with you" she said walking around her

"No need to be rude when I'm apologizing to you"

"Stop your crap, Karin!" she said turning around "You and I both know you don't mean it…plus I'm sure you have something else up your sleeve to make me look bad, so please, cut your crap"

Karin sighed as she walked over to Sakura, putting her arm around her. Sakura shrugged her off, rolling her eyes.

"Now Sakura…even though I might be faking it, it still makes me look good" she said as she smiled and then leaned into Sakura "Sakura?…do you really like Sasuke?"

"What business is it of yours?"

"Just wondering"

"Right"

"Well do you?"

"Sakura" Sasuke called as he walked over to her, looking at Karin "Mind if I borrow her for a second"

He grabbed her hand pulling her away from Karin, and out into the hall way. Sakura leaned against the wall, looking at Sasuke seeing something was bothering him.

"So…what's going on?"

He sighed, "Sakura…these people that are after us, they want us for one reason and one reason only and quite frantically it's somewhat cliché"

"Which would be what?…world domination?"

"No" he laughed slightly "No… try…okay, there really is no easy way to say this."

"Just say it"

"All right, black magic has existed dating way back…even during my time. These people, as I'm sure you can tell are no good…anyway it's a spell"

"A spell…what all these killings"

"More than just that. There's 3 steps to the spell and 6 things required to complete this spell, which are humans. The first step is transformation. That's when they take 5 humans and turn them into something more powerful, to be specific 2 vampires, 1 werewolf, 1 demon, 1 fallen angel" he paused making sure that I was understanding everything he was saying, then continued "Step two is killing the very beings they created with a special blade…a blade that's meant to damn the soul into hell, after that it's collecting a sample of the creatures blood"

"Sacrifice."

"Exactly, but to a whole new level…sacrificing things like demons, angels, vampires, and werewolves are higher. Our souls are already considered damned, yet…we're special. Do you know why?"

Sakura shook her head "The five of us…we're the only ones around. In other words, we're rare. It's like hunting a collecting the dead animals body as a trophy, instead it's our souls. Anyway, once step one and two are complete they need to find a human, that's the sixth person,…I don't know the specific qualifications for this person, but once they find them, they're used as the center-"

"The center?…what do you mean?"

"A pentagram, Sakura. The five creatures or people, that are killed along with the blood sample are the five points to the star, the one human…is the center" he sighed sadly "They got Itachi, Anko and now Neji"

"I don't understand, what's the purpose of doing all of this?"

"The spell is meant to cause chaos on earth…so if there's chaos and mayhem, what do you think the result will be?"

"Everyone would turn against each other…practically ending the world"

"Exactly. Hard to believe that someone who lives in this world would want to end it with them in it right?…I don't understand it either, but there's nothing we can do about it now"

"There has to be some way to reverse everything, right…I mean…there's got to be something"

"If me and Naruto die before they get to us, then that ends they're plans…this spell is a one time deal. If one little thing is out of place, then the whole thing goes down the drain, but for now all we can do is run…try our best to avoid them, there's really nothing else we can do"

"So what now?" Sakura asked as she walked past Sasuke, feeling a heaviness in her chest

"Me and Naruto can't stay here" he said, making Sakura's heart stop "We're going to have to leave. It's to risky staying here"

"So your leaving, that's it?" Sakura said turning to him "Your running away from your problems?"

"This isn't a small issue like…I slept with some guys girlfriend and now I'm running away. This is life or death…nonetheless, not to sound cliché, but we're holding the fate of the world on our shoulders, Sakura!" he pleaded sadly "What do you want us to do?"

Sakura bite her lip, making it bleed as she stood there staring at Sasuke, a few tears running down her cheeks. He walked over to her taking her hands into his, leaning his forehead against hers, closing his eyes as he took a deep breath.

"Sakura…I don't want to leave you" he said lowly, making her cry a little more "Please forgive me. I never told you how I felt about you but…I don't want to leave without you knowing"

"Sasuke" Naruto said, having his book bag slung over his shoulder, gesturing toward the door with his head "We should probably go"

"I don't understand…why are you guys leaving, where are you going?!" Ino shouted as she walked through the doors.

"We're just leaving Ino. Just drop it, it's our choice not yours." Naruto said as he kissed Hinata before walking out the door. Ino rolled her eyes storming back into the lunchroom.

Sakura looked at Hinata sadly seeing her crying, as she looked at the area Naruto had been standing. She felt her heart drop thinking about how the next day, Naruto and Sasuke really wouldn't be there anymore.

"What about Hinata…this is so unfair for her" Sakura said still looking at her

"Yeah I know. She thinks us leaving is the best thing though" he said as he smiled softly and hugged Sakura, making her close her eyes, enjoying the moment.

"Just remember…your all mine" Sasuke said as he chuckled, making Sakura's eyes shoot up at the familiar saying "No one can have you"

She turned around and looked at him. He smiled and then leaned down, pressing his lips against hers, lingering there for a moment before he heard Naruto calling him.

"Bye Sakura"

She stood there frozen, feeling unable to move. She watched as he was about to leave.

"Sasuke!" she called out. He stopped at the doorway, looking back.

"Where are you going?"

"I don't know" he said as he smirked quickly and then disappeared. She walked over to the doorway, looking outside seeing they were gone. Not a trace of them left behind. She bite her lip, holding her hand over her chest as she walked back inside the building.

*~*~*

Sasuke and Naruto stood on roof of the school building staring down, seeing Sakura as she disappeared back into the building. Naruto looked at Sasuke seeing the hurt in his eyes.

"Sasuke?"

He stood silent, closing his eyes. His hair fell in front of his face, due to the rain soaking it. Naruto felt his heart screaming in pain leaving Hinata and Sakura behind. He looked back at Sasuke seeing a red drop fall to the ground. Naruto tilted his head seeing a few tears running down Sasuke's cheeks, but unlike normal tears these were red. Sasuke stood up as he picked his book bag up.

"Let's go" he said, without looking at Naruto. Naruto nodded as he turned jumping from roof to roof.

"Maybe this is the best thing" Sasuke said to himself as took the book bag making the straps on longer. He put it on his back and glanced at the area Sakura had stood before turning and taking flight, not far behind Naruto.
