Chapter 21: Stolen
"The voice of God you mean the creator of all things?" Sasuke asked incredulously.
"Yes." Sakura replied.
Sasuke closed his eyes and his mind filled with memories of a time long past.
Flashback++
Sasuke and Sakura were in a field of flowers staring at Itsuka and Ume who were picking flowers.
"Everything is so peaceful right now." Sakura whispered
"This peace is not real the armies of Heaven and Hell are still battling as we speak." Sasuke replied.
End Flashback++
As that memory ended another one started.
Flashback++
He looked at his bloodied hands and smirked. Neji's once white wings were blood red. He could barely believe that Sasuke had betrayed them. How heartbroken would Sakura be if she ever found out. Sasuke looked at him, he felt nothing just the thrill of killing one of his own.
"I think I'll put you out of your misery old friend luckily no one will ever find out."
"Do as you wish but you know that if the princess finds out she will suffer a great deal." Neji whispered.
Sasuke just scoffed and ran a sword through Neji's heart.
"So long old friend." He whispered.
End Flashback++
Sasuke then opened his eyes and saw Sakura's eyes were blank.
Flashback++
Sakura laid on her bed crying bitterly on her bed after receiving the news of Sasuke's betrayal. She couldn't bear the thought o fit she had been to blind to see that for two years he was acting in a mysterious manner. Nobody had suspected he was the one responsible for Neji's death until two years later that he had abandoned them.
'Sasuke why did you do that I love you so much.' Sakura thought crying.
Ume and Itsuka dared not linger so they just resumed their duties. Neji was dead and Sasuke and Itachi had betrayed them in other words three of the best soldiers were gone.
"Itsuka do you think Sakura-hime will recover?" Ume asked.
"Young one I'm not sure." Replied Itsuka.
Ume shook her head and placed her basket of jasmines and cherry blossoms in the window sill as Itsuka went inside the room to place a bouquet of azaleas near the window.
End Flashback++
After all that they started panting at the rush of memories when they heard the flap of wings. They turned around and saw Ume hovering in front of them.
"Are you guys alright did you hear him.?' She asked.
"Yes we did." They both replied when they saw Kiba and Akamaru running towards them.
The rest of the day went by smoothly and nothing else happened.Still it had been very disturbing, when the school day ended Sakura left to Sasuke's home to to help him with his math homework. When they got there Itsuka and Deidara were on the living room sleeping next to each other.
"Don't they look angelic." Sakura cooed.
"They're angelic right until they lock up inside a room." Sasuke said when he tripped when he tripped with his sister's leg.
"I heard that Sasuke." She whispered slowly opening her eyes.
Sasuke looked at his sister and gulped once she wrapped her delicate fingers around his neck.
"I love you little brother." She whispered when Deidara opened his blue eye.
Deidara smiled and stood up he went to the cabinet were the drinks were stored in and took out a bottle of wine.
"Anybody up for wine?" He asked cheerfully.
They all nodded and awaited the drink.
--Three years later--
"Sasuke wait up." Sakura shouted laughing.
Sasuke smiled and waited for her. They were on their way to a picnic with the guys. In Sakura's ring finger rested a gold engagement ring with a diamond in the center and two garnets at each side. Once they arrived they saw the gang sitting under a cherry tree. They were having fun with Naruto as they drank sweet sake.
"Hi guys." Sakura said waving her hand.
Everybody waved back at her with smiles. Itsuka started to laugh as she saw Sasuke's adorable face which she hadn't seen in a year. She stood up holding her adopted son Azumo in her arms while Deidara was simply chilling out. The future father Itachi was also there with Shizune who was pregnant and wanting the time to end so he would be able to hold his child in his arms.
"Is this my nephew?" Sasuke asked curiously.
"Yes he is." She replied.
"I can't believe he survived what you told me." Sasuke said as Itsuka tapped her son's nose.
Deidara looked at his wife and son with a smile even though Itsuka was not able to have children they were still glad to have adopted little Azumo. As soon as Itsuka sat down he took his son in his arms and smiled at him. But while they were enjoying their day together, in Hell someone was undoing the seal of the Kyuubi.
"Something wants to get out desperately." Sakura whispered looking at Naruto who had started to hold his stomach in pain.
Her eyes went wide as she saw the Kyuubi glaring at her everybody tried to move but they were paralyzed on they're spot. Sasuke struggled to move but his body couldn't respond. They all saw horrified as The Kyuubi went right through Sakura and she went down to the floor. The Kyuubi held Sakura's soul in it's maw and then disappeared. When Sasuke reached Sakura he picked up her limp body and started to cry.
"Sakura I'll get your soul back I swear it." He muttered and then he looked up as tears streamed down his cheeks. Itachi and Itsuka were finally able to move and they slowly went to his side.
"Well help you get Sakura's soul back at any cost." Itsuka whispered wrapping her arms around him.
Sasuke nodded and stood up his eyes burning with determination the other angels stood up and nodded silently agreeing to the mission that was set before them.
