It Matters

His roar was so strong that it knocked Sakura and Hinata off their feet. The Pressure in the room became too much for both of them that the air they breathed seem hard to come by. They couldn't pick them selves back up as it held them down firmly. He released his true from. It broke through the walls and the roof that confined him and looked down at them with a snarl. Hinata gasped as she got her first glance at the demon prince. Sakura's heart was racing along with Hinata's as she looked at his true form. She could see Naruto's tails swing back and forth as the new foe made him back up to the point he was covering them. Hinata just stared opened mouth as Sakura had a strange look on her face like she just found a puzzle piece she need to finish.

"He's not a demon." stated Hinata as she looked at Sasuke release form. Sakura had known that he was different and she had seem part of his transformation before. She had come to the conclusion that this was his true form but thinking it and seeing it are two different things. Her insides felt cold as she looked at the glowing red eyes that seem trained on them. He towered in front of Naruto by several hundred feet but Naruto showed no fear what so ever.

"Stand down Sasuke!" he yelled at him but he got nothing in reply but a roar. The roar shook the ground at their feet. The pressure pushed them down again. Taking that chance that we where distracted he attacked. Naruto grabbed us both before his claw could. Naruto hollered in pain as he released Sakura like she had burned him. He growled at her as Hinata tried to calm him down. As she was doing this Sasuke was about to attack again.

"Sasuke!" yelled Sakura as both Hinata and Naruto turned around in time to dodge the attack but as soon as they where standing again he swung again.

"Naruto Watch out!" yelled Hinata as Naruto throw Hinata away from him and took the full bow. The bow knocked him through the wall out to the hallway caking him with plaster and ivory stone. Sasuke's attention was now on Naruto as he went at him. he grabbed him by the neck and squeezed. He squeezed with such vice that Naruto was having a hard time trying to breath.

"Sasuke!" yelled Sakura again as she tried to get his attention. His eyes were still focused on strangling Naruto. " Sasuke wake up!" Something about him seems to stop but the grip on Naruto's neck was becoming to tight too fast. Naruto clawed at it as Hinata watched from the bottom. It seem the grip was too strong for Naruto as a fifth tail started to grow. His fur started to change to a darker color. Hinata's eyes widen as she looked at him.

"Naruto Don't!' she yelled but it was too late He went up to six tails. With that he started to gather up a large amount of energy right in front of his mouth. The energy whipped around and turned as dark as his fur. It was huge as it seems to start to compress it's self down to a more smaller form. Sakura watched in horror as her mouth went dry. Before she could think she yelled out.

"SASUKE!" as Naruto released the ball of energy. The ball was like a blur as it zoomed at Sasuke. Something in his eyes seem to change just at the moment the ball was about to make contact with him. He released Naruto instantly as he tried to deflect the power of the power of the blast that hit him dead on. In a bright glow his form changed again as he blasted through about 2 walls of solid ivory. The pressure he was emitting disappeared along with his other form. Naruto roared before he started glowing as well as he began to shrink down. He transformed back into human form as he started to breathe heavily for a second. He looked like he had gone throw hell and back. His clothing where ripped up his cheeks had large gashes with blood dripping down. His blue eyes glowed with an eerie light as he looked over to Hinata.

He nodded at her before his eyes rolled to the back of his head and he fell down face forward. Hinata race over to him as Sakura looked over to the hole were Sasuke had disappeared to. Her heart raced as she looked at the darkness trying to see him. Her heart was giving wired jolts as she got to her feet and walked warily towards the hole. Hinata was too busy seeing if Naruto was all right to notice that Sakura had wondered off. Sakura kept her hand on the hilt of the ebony as she walked down the dark hole. She could hear breathing so she knew he was alive.

"You must be suicidal or an idiot to come near me." came his raspy voice.

"I'm making sure your not dead."

"Don't come any closer unless you want to be." he hissed out as Sakura stopped. She tried to look into the darkness to see if she could see his form but it was too dark. She didn't know what to say as she stood there in the darkness. She could only hear his breathing in the darkness but he could see her. She didn't know if she should tell him that she had seen his true form it. He had almost killed her the time she walked in on him before she was sure he was would kill her this time but even Hinata and Naruto had seen him so it wasn't much of a secret. " You saw didn't you?" came his voice.

The cold she felt went up her spine. He really didn't want her to see his true form but she didn't understand why. She stayed silent for a bit before she answered.

"Yes, I did." she muttered.

" I don't need your pity." he sneered at her as Sakura gasped. She wasn't thinking of that at all but it seems he was.

"I'm no pitying you." she told him as she took a step closer and he growled at her. " you are who you are I can't change that and I won't want to change that." she told him as he stayed silent. She took another step closer to him. He didn't do anything this time. " I must admit that I had a suspicion that it was your true form. It doesn't scare me." She said as she was about to get closer when he growled again.

"It should." he growled as Sakura could see his blood red eyes in the dark looking strait at her. Her heart seem to skip a beat for a second but she got her courage and looked at him in the eyes.

"It doesn't." she told him again. you could hear the rocks shifting as he got up from where he was pinned. She felt wired talking to him about something that bothered him. Most of the time they had a sword at each others throats trying to kill each other. Sakura grabbed her hands trying to think of something to say to him that would convince him that it didn't matter what his true form was until it hit her. Why was she trying to convince him she didn't care about him true form? Last time she checked they where on the opposite ends of who should kill who. She grabbed her hand again and felt the cold silver of the ring. She remembered now why she was here. Pulling the ring from her finger she curled her hand around it before she put her hand in front of her.

"Your ring." she told him as his eyes went back at staring at her. She wanted to stand strong as he got closer to her but her knees were the closest to becoming jelly. She didn't have to look at his eyes to know that he was closer. Her whole body could feel him closer. It was like two magnets coming together. His hand touched hers and her whole body felt like it was on fire. His fingers lingered longer then they should on her hand before he removed them. She felt like all her energy hand been sucked out of her as her legs where ready to give out. He had such a strong presence that it affected her whole thinking process. She could feel him getting closer to her and her heart was close to exploding in her chest. She could smell his scent one that only he seems to carry. It sent chills down her spine as his face came close to hers.

"It matters." he told her before he walked off to find Naruto and Hinata and left behind a very confused Sakura. She didn't know what she was doing anymore. Her head buzzed about nothing but him yet at the same time she wanted to force his image out. No matter how close she became to knowing something about him he would shut the door firmly in her face. She didn't understand anymore. She wanted to know more about him but at the same time she wanted nothing to do with him. Was this the effect of the bonding or herself?

She knew that when he was about to be hit with Naruto's energy blast that she felt the greatest fear that he would die there. She didn't understand why she was reacting this way and it didn't help that she could feel of the pull in her body when ever she was close to him. Bonding was mating yet she didn't want him and at the same time she did. It was so confusing and him being here with her didn't help matters. He left her here in the dark without worry that she could be attacked or left to her own devices. He wanted nothing to do with her and she couldn't seem to understand what she wanted. She needs time and he was not about to give it to her.

To him she was his property and she had no business thinking other wise. Some how that thought angered her. She grabbed the hilt of the sword tightly as a wild thought came to her. She should escape him even if he said that three days was the limit until the mark on her back killed her. In those three days she could find the demon and try killing him once and for all. The idea was madness but lately she was running on nothing but madness. The idea of being free took hold of her like snake in a vice. She looked at the dark hole she was in. There was a small hallway that lead away from them. That hallway could lead her to her freedom she looked back as she heard Naruto and Sasuke talking. It didn't matter. She told herself as she unfasten the ebony from her hip and place it on the ground. She made up her mind. She couldn't stand being with him any longer.

She ran.

She ran as fast as her legs could carry her. Her heart beating wildly in her chest as a sense of freedom hit her so hard that she almost broke out laughing. She had to get away from him. He had the soulless and the ring there was no need for her to over stay her welcome. She just hoped that Naruto and Hinata would understand. They had no fault in this but they would feel compelled to try and follow her. She would make it hard for them so they wouldn't get hurt. She saw a window up ahead with a tree about four feet high. Her determination was so much that she sped up. Covering her face with her arms she blasted through the glass window shattering it to pieces. The glass rain around her as for a second she was weightless in the air. It felt like she was flying but the sensation only lasted seconds before she grabbed onto the branch of the tree. She looked down to see what awaited her and was glad she grabbed to the tree. Swinging her legs up she hooked to the branch and swung up. She had started to climb down when she felt that pain rip down her back.

So he noticed.

She grabbed on to the branch as the pain made her dizzy. God it hurt so much but she had to get away from him. She focused on the pain as she tried to pinpoint the origin. It started at the base of her back. It was the mark he had place there. She thought back to the day he placed it there as she tried with all her might to dispel it. She once been able to do so when she had the mark of the other demon now it should be the same. She tried the same trick but it did nothing to null the pain if anything it made it more painful. She closed her eyes as tears fell down her checks. She had to make sure not to yell the only thing that kept her was her pride that kept her from screaming. She looked down again to see what awaited her if she fell down the wrong side of the tree.

The tree was perched on the side of a cliff that was cut out by the river. The river was a few thousand feet below her dangling feet. The pain became more prefund as she felt the pull. He was getting closer. she had to get away and the pain didn't help her. The more time she wasted the faster he was going to find and drag her back to the different type of pain she was feeling when he left her alone in the hallway. She didn't want that even if what she was doing now made her look like a coward she wasn't going back to him. She looked down again as the wind passed by her. The cold wind made the pain on her back numb a bit as it passed and pain started anew.

Cold.

That was is it! In order to numb the pain she needed to be cold. She Could hear shouting and foot steps running up to the window as she made her choice.

SOooooo yeah updating like crazy now.
