Disclaimer: Naruto ish not mine

( RD-CHAN HOKAGE )


She felt his lips on hers.

His arm pulled her closer to him, closing the gap between them as he deepened the kiss. The hand that was slammed on the tree slowly made its way to her hair, curling his fingers in her pink tresses. He tasted her strawberry- flavored lips and found himself craving for more. He didn't know why he'd kiss her, but he was sure, he wanted her to stop worrying over and over again.

Sakura felt her heart slam her ribs. She couldn't believe he was kissing her. It felt so passionate, if he wasn't holding her, she could've fallen. Closing her eyes, she timidly responded on their lip lock, blushing madly as she pulled him gently. But her heart pounded harder when she felt his tongue brushed her bottom lip. She gasped in shock, slightly parting her lips and Sasuke took the chance of exploring her sweet mouth. She mewled softly at the new found sensation, her hands now tangled in his raven locks. The only thing that caused them to pull away was the lack of oxygen, panting lightly as their foreheads touched.

"Sasuke-kun…" She mumbled; her face flushed from the kiss.

"It's the only way to silence you." A smirk tugged his lips, recalling how much her mouth was better than tomatoes.

Kissing her forehead, he was about to say something when someone cut him off.

"So you came… along with an unwanted company."


"Tsunade baa-chan! Teme! Teme is nowhere to be found! A-and Sakura-chan!"

The blond barged inside the Hokage Tower, surprising the Godaime who almost choked on the cup she was holding. She quickly gained her composure, glaring at Naruto before urging him to continue.

"They're nowhere in the village! Yoshio or rather that Akito guy got them!"

Tsunade gave him a questionable look, causing the blond to scowl since this was no time to explain. He can already feel the danger surrounding the two. Thankful that he visited earlier, he was able to tell the Hokage who the real enemy is and that Xhaina confronted Akito alone. Tsunade was alarmed by this.

"Naruto, I'm ordering you to call Squad 8, 9, 10. I'm assigning all of you in this rescue mission." Her face had a serious expression as she took the situation in. Naruto quickly vanished, a foxy grin visible on his face. It's time to kick some butts.

Tsunade stood up from her chair and watched the horizon brimmed with dark clouds. It was a usual sight yet something in the back of her mind spells danger. Then she remembered Sakura's power, shivering at the thought, she sighed and hoped the Uchiha will do anything to stop it from leaking.

"Akito Himura…" she hissed at the venomous name, gripping the back of the chair that cackled. She heard the name before, pitying the young boy but now that she'd learned of the truth, it made her furious.

"Tsunade-sama."

It was Shikamaru, along with the rest of the other teams standing in a straight line before her. Hazelnut eyes watching them from left to right like a scanner. She cleared her throat, catching their attention and began to talk.

"As you all know, you've been summoned here for a rescue mission." They all remained silent but one ninja was twitching at the far end, tired of hearing the introduction.

"This is-"

"DAMN IT BAA-CHAN! ENOUGH OF THE SPEECH! SASUKE-TEME AND SAKURA-CHAN NEEDS OUR FUCKING HELP! WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS!"

All eyes went to the loud ninja, Shikamaru muttering "Troublesome" while Neji grunted in annoyance. Kiba and Lee grinned to themselves, silently agreeing at Naruto while the females only sighed knowing it was bound to happen. Tsunade had a vein popped in her head, mentally hammering Naruto with her fists as he descends on the ground.

"You mean those two love birds are missing?" Ino asked, breaking the silence.–

Tsunade raised an eyebrow at the 'love birds' part. So the two were really dating?

"W-well, N-naruto-kun did m-mention h-he saw them s-sleep together." The Hyuuga heiress mumbled, catching the attention of everyone.

The hokage raised her eyebrow higher. And they SLEEP TOGETHER?

Naruto quietly confronted himself wondering if he should release the Kyuubi just to tell them that the two are in fact in danger and that there is no more time to talk about this crap. He was itching to use the fox demon's wrath.

"ZOMG! That is so not true Hinata! I can't imagine the Uchiha Sasuke sleeping with a girl!" the blonde exclaimed, touching her forehead dramatically.

"Well, it's Sakura he's with." Kiba chimed, smiling as his fangs bore.

"Troublesome. Can't we just talk about this after the mission? Sasuke might be dying now."

Everyone stopped babbling, as silence rose again inside the office. Tsunade decided to interrogate the Uchiha later about his babysitting tactics, completely surprised on what she's hearing from his fellow shinobis.

"Alright. Seems your chitchats over, let's get down to the mission."


"Akito-kun…"

He smirked at the sound of his name on her lips. Pleading and feared. But his eyes glowered at the sight of a man behind his property, he even have the nerve to pull her close to him. But putting that aside, her presence, the fact that she willingly came to see him was a step towards his plan. His weapon is here, except that some little fly decided to join them. That Xhaina was all she had left, who wouldn't dare rescue her from death.

"So you've brought some company, Sakura-chan?" He eyed the Uchiha, who glared back with the same intensity. Pulling his hands off his pockets he brushed his brown locks away and smiled mockingly at the two.

"Hn. It's been a while since I've had a real fight." Retorted Sasuke gently pushing Sakura away from him, but she resisted, her eyes painted with worry.

"Just trust me, Sakura." Even if his onyx orbs stood cold, she noticed the tint of assurance in his eyes slowly staying on the side to watch a fight that is soon to start. Her eyes darted to Akito whose smirk never faded giving her a shiver down her spine. She trusted Sasuke, she knew he can defeat him but the way Akito stood so confidently before him told her otherwise. Sasuke-kun… please be okay.

"Uchiha Sasuke was it?" Akito took a step forward, yielding a shiny looking kunai as he twisted around his fingers. "It's an honor to fight the person who killed one of the most notorious rogue nin, Uchiha Itachi."

Sasuke growled at this, hating people who remind of the person who ruined his life.

The amber eyed man threw the kunai then produced more throwing them simultaneously missing the Uchiha who dodged in ease. Sasuke unsheathed his katana, charging head on at Akito. The sound of metals clashing echoed in the forest, the two males disappearing in a blur as their weapons clanged in the atmosphere.

Sakura watched in awe, wondering how they can see well in the dark. She gripped the collar of her shirt, silently praying Sasuke will defeat Akito so that all will be over and Xhaina will be saved. Her eyes observed them intently, seeing how Sasuke fought Akito skillfully.

Akito gritted his teeth seeing that none of his attacks hit Sasuke. He can clearly see how he fought with ease. Truly… never underestimate an Uchiha. He thought, grinning deviously in his mind.

Sasuke managed to get rid of his kunai in hand and quickly kicked him in the stomach, sending him slamming hard on the floor. He spat out some blood and swiftly moved away, before he got jabbed by Sasuke's katana that got stuck on the ground. He cursed at this and saw Akito with floating metal chains around him. He made a gesture and the weapons charge at him. He moved away from the sword and quickly made hand seals.

Katon: Housenka no Jutsu!

A number of fire balls were aimed at Akito giving him no chance to escape, damaging him in different body parts. But the metal weaponry weren't stopped, wrapping itself around Sasuke that strangled him.

"Think you can escape me huh?" Akito asked him, wincing at the pain he got from his wounds. They stood in between the sword that was stuck on the ground; Sasuke noticing it, smirked. "That's supposed to be my line."

Akito became confused but was surprised when a blue glow surrounded Sasuke and the sword, slowly creating static noises and spurs of lightning evolved from them both. He was too late to realize what was happening when he felt jolts of electricity coursing inside him. He screamed in pain while the young Uchiha sneered, intensifying the amount of electricity shocking the enemy.

Akito fell on the ground, groaning as he felt his whole body shaking from the shock. Staring at the Uchiha, there was no expression of defeat on his face or fury but a cruel smile which shocked Sasuke. His amber eyes averted to the thing wrapped around him that seemed to glow.

"Iie! Sasuke-kun! Get that thing off!" Sakura's voice rang in his ears and he knew what will happen to himself next. He forgot about his Metal type technique. Shit! He saw the girl running to him, attempting to save him but…

"Too late Uchiha." As those words escaped from his mouth, the chain around him released huge amounts of electricity, like the ones he made before. He faintly heard Sakura's scream in the background, his whole body engulfed in bolts of electricity, like he was being attacked with his own Chidori.

"SASUKE-KUN!" She saw his unconscious body fall into the ground, creating a loud thud! She hurriedly went to him, tears welling up in her eyes as she saw her savior lying lifelessly on the floor. She trembled at the sight, hoping he will wake up soon. He promised her he'll be fine! "Bastard…" she mumbled, trying to stifle a sob, attempting to cup his face but found that charges of electricity were still emitting from him. "Sasuke-kun…" she tried to called, hoping to get a response. "Sasuke-kun… onegai!" She pleaded. Her finger poked his cheek lightly, tears now dropping on his face. She hates him, she wanted to punch him right now, but all she could was cry.

"Wake up, bastard!" She found herself squeezing his hand, ignoring the charges.

"He won't wake up for a while."

"Sasuke-kun!"

"Stop it Sakura." He walked slowly towards the two, grateful that he's gone. The pain was still there but has subsided thanks to his jutsu that sucked out the electricity from and transferred it to the Uchiha who received more damage than him.

"No! I won't leave him here!" Sakura yelled, glaring at Akito who was amused at her actions.

"Stubborn aren't we?" His fingers twitched and the chain strangling Sasuke was removed, but instead of returning to Akito, it wrapped itself on the girl who was caught off guard, gasping in surprise.

"W-what are you doing? Let me go Akito-kun!" She squirmed at the firm grip of the object, her jade orbs staring at Sasuke.

"To claim you, of course." He replied with a satisfied grin, turning around as Sakura was forced to get up. It felt like the metal around her was controlling her, making her walk away from the lying Sasuke who haven't made the slightest movement. She tried to resist the invisible force, calling out to him, hoping he'd hear her before it was too late.

"Sasuke-kun!"


Sasuke-kun!

Onyx orbs instantly revealed upon hearing that worried voice. He groaned as soon as he jerked his body to move, pain running down his veins. He cursed incoherently, as he slowly brought himself up and scanned his surroundings. He was alone in the forest… which meant…

We LOST you dumbass!

Don't tell me he got Sakura!

Alright… I won't tell you he got Sakura. I bet they're doing IT! GRRRR!

"Damn it!"

He shut his eyes closed, clenching his fist knowing he's on the verge of failing his mission. He needs time to regain back his strength but that time is also needed to get back Sakura before Akito releases her power to destroy them. But how? It hurts his pride, but truly, he can't do this alone. If only he can go back to the village and ask for back up.

Sasuke-kun… he can hear her voice from the back of his mind, calling out to him. It was full of hurt and worry, stabbing painfully in chest knowing he was the reason why she's feeling miserable.

Chuckle.

He looked up in surprise to see the person he never expected.

"Giving up so easily Teme?"


"Let me go!"

She was thrown hardly on the cold marble floor and found herself looking around at massive columns straightly aligned vertically with a pair. Before her stood a wide platform where strange looking runes were carved below it. She shuddered at the sight knowing what was it purpose and who will be involved in it.

"Marvelous isn't it Sakura-chan? The temple's necessary for Houkou's unleash." He explained releasing the girl. Finding the temple was tougher than tracking the princess, before he discovered the place he had to remove several seals only the elders knew about. If it weren't for his constant visits in the Haruno library in the past, he wouldn't have the knowledge to undo the seal placed here.

"Y-you..." she mumbled, staring at him with disbelief. Akito looked at her lovingly, admiring her in her weakened state as he strode towards her. "Yes Sakura-chan?" He stood in front of her, cupping her face. Even if she was mixed with feline senses, to him she looked stunning as she pleaded for him to stop his plans. He felt her small hands grip his shirt, raising an eyebrow at her.

"S-stop this Akito-kun…"

"No Sakura-chan, now that I finally have you…" he grabbed her hair, forcefully pushing her face close to his and whispered in a harsh tone, "I won't let you go."

With that, he fiercely crashed his lips on Sakura who was taken aback, instantly pushing the man away to no avail. She was trapped in his arms that held her firm, struggling to be freed from his grip. His tongue forced her to open her mouth which she dared not to part. He bit her lip, as a gasp erupted from her. He swiftly invaded her mouth, smirking inwardly to finally taste his fiancée's crevice. He explored, memorizing every inch of it. Sakura whimpered at his action, sickened that she was kissing this man. Wanting this nightmare to end, she bit down his tongue hard, her small fang sinking into the muscle.

Akito pushed her away breaking the kiss, gasping. The iron taste of his own blood melted into his mouth, making him furious at the girl who wiped her mouth her hand in distaste. "How dare you bite me?"

She only glared at him in response.

He stomped his way toward Sakura, ignoring the fact that his tongue was bleeding. Jerking his index and middle finger, metal shackles crawled out of nowhere, their clanging sounds surprising Sakura. She moved back as they lurched forward, completely trapping her in the center of the platform. Her ankles were the first to be caught followed by her wrists. She tried to move away, but the objects prevented her.

"What are you doing?" Deep inside, she already knew the answer, she just couldn't believe it's really happening, the time where she'll use her own power to destroy, or worse, kill her friends.

Akito didn't respond, but his devious smirk was all she needed to understand her situation. He began to chant a language she never heard off. Her heart beats loudly inside her chest as she shook in fear, eyes wandering in her surroundings to suspect any changes. The man only stood still, eyes shut tight and slowly to Sakura's dismay, the whole temple is surrounded by mist, the cold wind pricking her skin at the cold touch. She shook the thing that binds her, feeling helpless and weak for she can't do anything to save herself.

"Release!" His voice boomed inside the whole temple, the candles that lit the area lost their light. But it wasn't dark, there was radiance emitting from the runes that gleamed below Sakura who was horrified. The runes below began to elevate like a thin sheet of paper surrounding her, creating a barrier that glowed with a bright light.

He watched the scene in front of him with great delight and awe. It's coming to perfection, but he needs to change something very important. The bright light was too blinding, too much hope. He wants nothing close to that; he needs darkness, one that has no heart to spare, in which the world would fear of. He made did several other seals to finally release the spirit to its true form, causing the girl to scream in pain as her body blazed in blinding light.

Behind her, a huge shadow formed taking shape as long swishing curls began to expand. The body took the shape of a fox, its snout high in the air as if to howl a cry. Its white fur became visible inside the barrier of dancing runes, creating a strong current of wind inside. Her screams were overshadowed by the thunderous howl of the fox that stood behind her, finally released after a long time inside her body. Sakura felt like her soul was drawn away from her body, lying unconsciously on the floor, unable to see Houkou.

"Magnificent indeed, but this isn't what I want."

He chanted silently to himself until a dark cloud of mist hovered above the animal that was trapped. It slowly descended below, seeping inside Sakura and the Spirit itself.

Akito smirked.

Outside the hideout, an enraged roar of a huge monster awakened the whole forest, birds and land creatures scurrying away to hide from the beast that will soon emerge and bring disaster to its path.
