AN: Yea…okay…I'm only writing this because you guys are so nice to me, but I really don't like anime anymore, so don't except me to write Wild Flower Blooms. Sorry…

Icy Hearts

Sasuke's heart wanted to jump out of his chest. He wanted to believe that she was still his friend, and that she wouldn't be killed by him. But, it would all be a dream, like the dreams a child would have while sleep. Sasuke knew that he wasn't a child anymore.

"Sasuke…" Saii stepped forward, unaware of the position of Sasuke's left hand. It gripped the handle of his kunai tightly, preparing to attack. "Listen to me…"

Sasuke inched backwards. I can't do this. I can't do this. You can…You can…she's trying to stop Konoha from taking over Oto. She's protecting her father. The image of Saii pushing his kunai away from Orochimaru flashed before Sasuke's eyes. One more step and she will be dead.

"Orochimaru…he has a trap set for you guys," warned Saii, still not aware of the danger she was in. "You must turn back. You cannot defeat him!"

Sasuke thought for a moment. "Why are you telling me this! Aren't you suppose to be our enemy now…Traitor." The words came out of his mouth like water coming out of a fountain.

Saii's eyes began to water. "I'm just trying to help. You have to listen to me. Orochimaru will capture you and Naruto and use you guys!"

"You are lying," accused Sasuke. "What makes you think I will believe you?"

"The others will die!" yelled Saii, frustrated that Sasuke couldn't understand his predicament. "I am a traitor, but you have to understand. No matter what, he is my father. What would you do in my situation?"

Sasuke chuckled. "I would kill him," he answered.

Saii's eyes widened. He's not Sasuke anymore. His desire to kill Orochimaru has driven him crazy. He won't listen to me anymore. "If you want to become a slave, then go fight, but I won't let the others die." Saii tried to walk past Sasuke in order to reach the camp where the rest of the Konoha ninjas were staying.

"You're not going anywhere," said Sasuke, pulling out his kunai and placing it, firmly onto Saii's neck. "Tsunade ordered us to kill anyone in our path and that includes you."

Saii's heart started to beat franticly. One move and Sasuke will kill her. She closed her eyes and tried to relax. Sasuke's not going to kill me. He won't. I'm positive. Her hands moved up to grab the kunai. Unexpectedly, a sharp pain raced through her body. Sasuke had pressed into the knife. One more centimeter and it will become fatal. Saii looked at Sasuke. Is there anyway I can get out of this alive? Does he have any blunder that I can use to my advantage? She examined his location, surroundings, and poise. A fault! Sasuke is standing right in front of me. That means I can…Wham! Saii jammed her feet into Sasuke's stomach. Because of his stance, he couldn't push the kunai into her neck.

Sasuke was shocked…ingenious…He should have stood at her side, so no matter what kind of attack she tried; he would still be able to plunge in the kunai. Why didn't he realize that by standing in front of her, she would be able to send him flying backwards, unable to land an attack?

The tree stopped Sasuke from flying any further. When he looked up, he could see Saii's shadow, running away. I can't let her tell her father where our camp is. Sasuke positioned his kunai and aimed it at the dark blur. Please let this hit.

Whoosh. The knife sailed past trees and finally, reached its target. Saii saw the kunai coming, but there was no way she could have blocked. If she had dodged to the right, left, up, or down, the poisonous bushes and trees would have killed her. Her teeth bit into her lips from pain as the kunai sank in. She slowed her pace, for the kunai had struck her lower back and her strenuous speed could make the wound wider. This was not supposed to happen. If the blood keeps flowing like this, I won't make it back to safety. Already, her blood was drenching her shirt. Yet, the wound didn't hurt as much as her heart and the blood wasn't flowing as fast as her tear.

How could he? I thought… I thought…we were friends. Saii couldn't bring herself to say that she once thought that they were something more. He tried to kill me…or maybe he did kill me. White started to spark in her eyes. Saii didn't know how long she had ran, or if she was dead. But, her eyes opened to the flickering glows of a candle. Warmth swept over her. I'm dead. This must be how they treat people in hell. As Saii opened her eyes more, she saw a pair of hopeful blue eyes staring at her.

The eyes belonged to a girl with blonde hair. "Im!" screamed Saii, sitting up, but the wound on her back stretched, forcing Saii to lie back down again.

"Saii-sama! You are awake!" She smiled sweetly and stood up. I'll go and get Itachi-sama. "Also, Saii-sama, my name isn't Im, it's Aisha."

"Ohh." Saii looked down; a little embarrassed that she didn't even know her childhood friend's name. "Wait…Itachi's here?"

"Yes," replied Aisha, "He brought you here."

Saii thought for a minute. Crap! Now I owe him.

Itachi walked in. "We are going to talk with Orochimaru after my idiotic brother falls into his trap."

"Wait!" yelled Saii. "You are going to let your brother get captured!"

Itachi looked at Saii. "He tried to kill you."

After Itachi walked out, the door flew open again. Ataka(Saii's mom) walked in. Her face was filled with worry. "Saii!"

"Mom!"

"Saii, we don't have much time. There's more to your sister!"

"But, mom, you said that sis wasn't dead, so I can still save her right?"

Ataka broke into sobs. "Your father is a cruel man! He froze her in a block of ice that cannot be melted with fire!"

"But it can be melted…right!"

Ataka nodded while wiping her eyes.

"With what? Tell me mom! No matter what it is, I will find it!"

"Oh! You have it, Saii. It's your blood!"

AN: Duh Duh Da Duh! Scary…Hehehehe! Yay! I will write more…I promise!
