Chapter 14 Loss

Temari knew he had to break it to the twins that their mother was murdered. It would break their hearts. Only at the age of 4 years old. She felt pity swarm over her along with grief and sorrow. She took ahold of her youngest brother guiding him away and towards the house where the children lived. Kankuro shook his head while Tsunade stood there, in shock. Naruto came over to ask whats going on but no one said a word. Kankuro had to go ID the body saying it was indeed her. Chunnin exams was the next day but they postponed it. They held Sakura's funerial that day. Gaara, Kankuro, Temari all stood protectively next to the greaving twins. Poor Yume and Dai. To lose their mother, a proud woman she was. Naruto was in shock to find out whos funerial it was. Sasuke was still back in Konoha instead of coming to Suna. Tsunade shedded a few tears for her former student as did Kakashi. How hard they were on her during those times. They regretted it. If they didnt force her in going on that mission years ago she'd still be alive now. Itachi and Kisame walked into the giant room where they found everyone sitting playing a card game. "Come join us un!" Deidara yelled at them. The two looked at everyone then headed towards their room. "Something doesnt seem right." Sasori said. "Youre right they never turn down a game." Konan said. "That look on both of their faces, somethings wrong Ive never seen those faces on them only victims." Sasori said. A hour later they finally came out and joined the other members remaining silent. "Any luck on finding cherry blossom un?" Dei asked. Both Itachi and Kisame winced atthe question. The topic of Sakura made them uneasy, tension filled the room. Sasori stood up and glared dangerously at the two. "Talk" he said. The two exchanged looks at each other. "Yeah we found her alright." Itachi mumbled. "Well, where is she?" everyone asked. Again they winced to the question. "Well you uh see um heh shes sorta." Kisame shuttered through his words trying to figure out how to say this to them "Uh, Itachi a lil help here?" Kisame asked his partner desperatly. He only stiffened up growing more tense then finally came out with it. "Dead." was what he said everyone once gasped, Pein had just walked in the room when Itachi said 'dead'. "Who's dead?" he asked."Cherry blossom's dead un." Dei said full of shock. "Who killed her." Kisame ad Itachi both cringed to the question, this no one missed. No word was said, they all knew by that reaction. "You see she wasnt hersef, literally. We didnt know it was her. She dyed her hair black and we didnt pay attention to her eyes. She has a sand protector on instead of a leaf. It wasnt until after we realized it was her." Kisame tried to defend. Chunnin exams was to be postponed until a later time, once the village was over their grief.
