"Juugo." Sakura whispered in shock as she saw the man step into the moonlight. This man was nothing like the Juugo she knew; he didn't look kind or happy. This man looked frightening and deadly, he looked nothing like the Juugo she remembered seeing just a half an hour ago.
"Get away from Sakura-chan immediately." Juugo commanded while he took a step forward to where Sai was shielding Sakura.
"Sai get out of here now…" Sakura said in a daze her eyes not leaving Juugo. Sai turned to look at Sakura in disbelief. "I mean it Sai; this Juugo will kill you in no time!" she continued as she looked at the monster come closer and closer.
"Sakura-san, I can't leave you alone." Sai argued as he took his fighting stance.
"No please go! He won't kill me but he will kill you because he thinks you'll do something to me. So please go now!" Sakura pleaded again making Sai look at her confused.
"Fine I'll-" Sai began but was incapable of finishing what he was about to say since Juugo had taken hold of his neck and picked him up. He then threw Sai into the near by building and stepped in front of Sakura as if to shield her from Sai.
"Juugo please stop, Sai wasn't going to do anything to me!" Sakura pleaded as she ran in front of Juugo as if to stop him from getting any closer to Sai. "Juugo please listen to me and stop!" she pleaded again.
Juugo placed his hands on top of Sakura's shoulders and made Sakura freeze on the spot. She had never felt that much killer intent from anyone before. Sakura had opened her eyes in shock and was staring into Juugo's now dark eyes. 'This can't be the Juugo I know…' she thought alarmed.
"Excuse me I will take care of the guy over there and then I'll come back to you." Juugo said as he grinned an evil death like grin as he took a step past Sakura towards Sai.
"Sai get out of here now!" Sakura yelled after she had snapped out of her shock. Sai had stood up and was looking at Sakura confused. "Please just go, get out of here!" she yelled again and Sai listened to her and left. "Thank god…" she muttered as she saw Sai leave.
"Sakura-chan, why would you do that? I was only doing it to protect you!" Juugo yelled as he turned to face Sakura. "I'll kill you now…I want to kill people…I want to kill." He said in a daze.
"Juugo, what the hell happened to you?" Sakura muttered to herself as she took a step back. 'There is no way this is happening…Sasuke-kun was right…' she thought to herself shocked as she took another step back from the monster.
"There, there, it won't hurt, I'll kill you fast, but there must be a lot of blood." Juugo said as he stepped closer and closer while licking his lips. He soon reached Sakura and took hold of her neck and threw her into the center of the street.
Sakura got up and flinched. 'Shit that hurt…' she thought as she looked down at the large scratch she had gotten from hitting the ground. She looked up and saw that Juugo had a sword in his hand that Sakura recognized as Sasuke's. 'Where the hell did he get that?' Sakura thought alarmed as she went into her fighting stance.
"Sasuke will be pleased by the fact that his sword will kill you…" Juugo said as he stepped closer and closer to Sakura with the sword ready. Juugo was soon standing in front of Sakura his sword raised to the side. He then brought the sword down and managed to slice Sakura's side as she jumped away from the monster.
"Shit…" she muttered as she stopped and looked at Juugo who was smiling. 'This isn't good…' she thought as she held her now bleeding side.
"Blood…yes blood…" he said over and over again while he licked some blood off of the sword making Sakura even more scared then she already was. Juugo turned towards Sakura again and began to run at her Sasuke's sword in his hand.
'Sasuke-kun was right…he doesn't know who his friends are.' Sakura thought sad as she saw her friend, who she had just spent some time with, charge at her ready to kill. "I'm sorry Sasuke-kun…" Sakura apologized as she closed her eyes and waited for the sword to pierce her, which it did. "Gah!" Sakura gapped when she felt the sword cut her flesh and go through the side of her stomach.
Juugo pulled the sword out and smiled at the blood that was oozing out of her. He watched her kneel down onto the ground while holding her stomach in pain while coughing blood. "This is the last cut my dear…it will all end now." Juugo said as he raised the sword up ready to cut Sakura's head off.
"Don't you dare touch her anymore!" a commanding and terrifying voice came from behind making Juugo turn and glare at the newcomer. "Get away from her." He commanded again while taking a step forward.
"Who the hell do you think you are? To be giving me orders…Hah!" Juugo smirked, but this smirk wasn't anything like the amused and kind smirks he usually had on his face. This smirk was evil and it held the desire to kill.
"You're leader." Sasuke replied simply as he appeared right in front of Juugo shielding Sakura from the monster who craved for nothing more then blood and death. "I warned you not to touch her, Juugo." Sasuke stated before he activated his sharingan and attacked Juugo. Sakura was looking at the two men in shock while healing herself and prayed that it would all end well.
In the fight Sasuke took his sword back and gave Juugo a few good blows and so made the large man fall to the ground onto his knees and look at him. "You dared to touch her, I should kill you for that but I know Sakura would be upset." Sasuke stated and concentrated on returning Juugo back to normal.
Juugo's curse mark began to disappear and soon Juugo was his usual self once again. He looked around and then his eyes landed on the Uchiha's. Sasuke was beyond furious with the man but ignored him as he went to Sakura. Juugo looked to where Sasuke had headed and became shocked. 'I attacked Sakura-chan?' he thought not understanding why.
Sakura had stood up and was healing herself bit by bit. She had stopped the major bleeding and was now closing the wounds. Sasuke appeared beside her and made her look up at her rescuer. "I'm sorry, I should have listened to you…" she apologized but Sasuke shook his head and placed both of his arms around her.
Sakura wrapped her arms around Sasuke's waist and buried her face into his chest. "I'm glad you're ok…" Sasuke whispered as he held Sakura close to himself making Sakura smile. Juugo had gotten up from the ground and headed towards the two in the center of the street. He looked at Sakura who had blood all around her and Sasuke's clothes and then flinched back. 'I can't believe I almost killed Sakura-chan…' he thought as he took yet again another step forward.
This time Sasuke's sword stopped him. Sasuke had his sword pointing at Juugo telling him to back off or else with a glare that told Juugo that he was not happy with the event that had just occurred. Juugo did what his leader told him to do and stepped back.
Sasuke then put his sword away and picked Sakura up bridal style and with one last glare at Juugo he jumped off leaving the large man alone in the street. 'What have I done…' he thought before he turned to head back to the Uchiha compound.
Sasuke carried Sakura all the way to her house and placed her onto the couch where she finished healing herself. She then stood up and headed upstairs and took a shower and changed into clean clothes. When she came back down with her still damp hair Sasuke looked at her concerned. "I'm fine Sasuke-kun, honestly." She reassured with a smile on her lips.
Sasuke walked to her and looked at her up and down making sure she wasn't lying. "Fine." he muttered before he turned away from the girl and began to head towards the front door.
"Sasuke-kun, where are you going?" Sakura asked confused as she ran to the door before the Uchiha as if to stop him. She looked at him confused and made him mentally sigh.
"The compound." he replied emotionless as he reached to open the door knob. Sakura however blocked the knob and stared at the Uchiha stubbornly.
"Please can't this wait 'til morning? Please, Sasuke-kun. I don't think going there now will do any good." Sakura said while trying to reason with him.
"Sakura, move, I need to go talk to him now." Sasuke replied ignoring Sakura's reasons. He then pushed Sakura aside gently and left the house. 'Juugo …' Sakura thought worried as she saw the Uchiha run towards the compound area.
At the compound Misa was making tea and was preparing to have a midnight snack with Juugo like they usually did after one of Juugo's night walks. Her plan was aborted, however, when she saw Juugo come into the house with blood on his clothes. "Juugo what happened?" Misa asked alarmed as she ran to the man.
"I deserved it…" Juugo replied and began to tell how he had lost it and attacked Sakura. Misa listened to the story in shock as she placed her hand on her mouth not wanting to believe everything she had just heard.
"You didn't…" Misa began.
"No I didn't kill Sakura-chan. Although, I would have if Sasuke wouldn't have interfered." Juugo admitted in defeat.
"Sasuke stopped you?" Misa asked even more shocked and got a nod from Juugo. "Shit! He will never let this go, you almost killed Sakura…" Misa muttered mostly to herself as if to try and calm herself down.
Then the door opened and a gush of fury and desire to kill came in. Sasuke had stepped into the brightly lit room and was glaring at Juugo who looked ashamed. Misa was looking at Sasuke with her eyes red and was beyond worried for her friend. "Sasuke please hear him out before you do anything rash…" Misa pleaded as she was looking at the blood on Sasuke's clothes shocked.
"Before I do anything rash? Juugo almost killed Sakura." Sasuke said in disgust. "Even though I warned you not to get close to her you ignored my command and spent time with her, which made her the first victim when your other personality came out. You attack the people you spend more time with first, and even knowing this you still got closer to Sakura." Sasuke stated as he kept on glaring at the man.
"Sasuke, Juugo was only trying to protect Sakura from Sai. He was harassing her again and I don't think it's fair that you're treating him the way you are…" Misa butted in and stated her own opinion.
"Protecting her from Sai? Sai was the one who came and told me where Sakura was." Sasuke informed the two and made them gap.
"Sakura-chan told Sai to let go of her and he didn't, so I told him to let go of her too, then I don't remember much. I only remember wanting to kill someone…" Juugo told his side of the story. "I was only trying to protect her…" he muttered saddened.
"You almost killed her, Juugo." Sasuke said again as if it was not enough the first time.
"I know, but you know how my split personality gets. I can't control it." Juugo said in his own defense.
"That's no reason for you to go after Sakura." Sasuke said as he kept glaring at the man.
"I want to speak with Sakura-chan." Juugo requested but made Sasuke glare more and shake his head in disbelief.
"There is no way I'm letting you near her now." Sasuke stated coldly as he turned to leave.
"Sasuke this isn't fair! Let Sakura talk with him tomorrow if not today, and then let's all discuss what has happened and what should be done. Please be reasonable." Misa pleaded once again trying to help her friend out desperately.
Sasuke simply looked at Misa and left the house to head back to Sakura. "So what did he reply?" Juugo asked her friend when the door had been shut.
"He'll meet us at the training grounds tomorrow morning…we'll all talk about this." Misa replied and got a relieved sigh from Juugo.
"Thank you Misa." Juugo thanked his friend with a kind smile which was returned.
Sasuke had arrived at Sakura's house and was hesitating at the door, not sure what he should say when he stepped into the house. He didn't have much time to think since Sakura opened the door and jumped and hugged him around his neck. "Welcome back." She whispered relieved.
"Ah." Sasuke replied and placed his arms around her. "We're meeting the two at the training grounds tomorrow morning." Sasuke informed the girl he was holding.
"Oh, ok then." Sakura replied as she let go of the man she was holding and took his hand to pull him inside the house. "Tomorrow then." She agreed once again and made Sasuke look at her worried. 'She's worried of what will happen tomorrow and she's probably really shocked about the Juugo she saw today…' Sasuke thought understanding.
Sasuke walked to Sakura and wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned down so he could whisper into her ear. "Everything's fine, Sakura. Calm down that wasn't the Juugo you know." He said trying to calm the girl down.
Sakura merely nodded as she placed her hands on top of Sasuke's. She had tears in her eyes because the shock of what had happened had just kicked in. She could not believe Juugo would have attacked her like that and so she shook from fear.
Sasuke noticed this and turned her to face him as he headed towards the room they slept in the night before. Sasuke sat down onto the bed and pulled Sakura down so that she could join him. He then laid down and held Sakura close to himself, while kissing her and calming her down.
Sasuke kissed her cheek and her jaw then he proceeded to the lips. He kissed her for a while then held her close telling her that he was there for her. Both teens closed their eyes and fell asleep holding one another closely.
Good? Bad? Ok? Please do tell me! :D
