~Deception~

Edited by:

Me, D: Sorry, I think my editing is getting worse now that my brain is completely empty from last year's English class

It's almost been a whole year since I started Deception, and so this, is my slightly longer chapter for you guys for me to give to you! :D HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

ENJOY!

I watched has his to big for life tongue flopped out of his mouth as he waved it slowly, creeping me out to a large extent.

Without any hand signs, his body elongated, as if his bones had turned to mush he scaled up the branch to Sasuke, his body twisting and turning up the branch. To quick for words, I instantly reached for my kunai, he hissed, grinning madly as a every scared Sasuke was frozen in place.

I threw the Kunai in my hands at him, reaching back I pulled out all my kunai, desperate for him to get away from Sasuke. As if his horror was rubbing off on me, I let out a frantic war cry. Screaming at him to stay away from Sasuke.

But I wasn't the only one.

I snapped my head around, looking at the person who had added in my attempts to get the creepy snake dude away from Sasuke.

"Sorry Sasuke, I forgot the pass word…" Naruto grinned.

God damn it Naruto, scaring me like that!

The grass in looked annoyed and angry, looking up at him through the corner of his eyes.

Sasuke was frantic, his Sharingan activated, "Naruto, don't get involved! Run!" Sasukes eyes never left the grass Nin, "He's way above our level!" He yelled.

On one hand, I was so happy to see Naruto, relived to know that he was okay, a little dirty and worse for wear, but okay non the less. But on the other hand, I wanted him to run, get the hell out of here. Agreeing with Sasuke, they both needed to get out of here. I would stay behind; fight him off while they got a good distance. But, I couldn't let Naruto get killed like this!

The grass Nin was causally wrapped around the branch, leaning on his elbow as he looked up at Naruto, "Looks like you defeated the snake Naruto-Kun." He said calmly.

Naruto looked down from the tall branch he was standing on, his arms crossed as he remained silent.

Realizing there was no better time to activate my plan, using Naruto as a distraction I quietly put the kunai I was holding in my mouth, moving quickly and silently, climbing up the branches and jumping from my tree to his. Scaling up the trunk till I crouched on the high branch above the grass Nin. I sat down wrapping my legs around the thin branch and locking my ankles together, ready for anything. Taking the kunai out of my mouth I pressed my chest to the branch, trying to stay hidden. But my bangs blocked my view, I cursed inside my head, realizing the chat between Naruto, Sasuke, and the grass Nin was coming to an end quickly.

I watched in disapproval as Naruto pouched Sasuke in the face, pushing him off the branch for trying to give away the scroll. Not that it mattered though, I had the real one, but neither of the boys knew that.

I watched as the grass Nin rolled up his sleeve, my eyes grew and I cursed grabbing the kunai out of my mouth and throwing it at his arm. That was a snake summoning tattoo, if he used that, there was no limit on what kind of snakes he could summon, we would be screwed.

He dogged my kunai easily, as he looked up. The branch exploding underneath his feat as I stayed on my branch, un wrapping my feet from around it and standing up, screaming in anger as I threw everything that I could get my hands on.

I emptied my kunai pouches, my shuriken, my poison and non poison dipped senbon. My arms were on fire as I desperately threw them all at him. He jumped from tree to, dodging everything I threw. The senbon completely disappearing into the tree with the force I threw them.

I growled in frustration as I charged swiftly, jumping off my tree and trying my best to pounce on him, my body flying threw the air as I yowled.

His eyes widened once he saw the speed I was coming at him, but yet he had easily dogged to the right as I landed easily, my joints groaning in agony as my feet felt like there was a hundred thousand needles poking into them. But I ground my teeth and moved on, chasing him down as I raced threw hand signs for a Jutsu, not hesitating using the little chakra I had to beat this guy.

I was still doing hand signs as I yelled out to the boys, not looking back to them as I raced threw the trees, on the heals of my enemy. "Get the hell outta here! I'll hold him back for awhile, run!" I screamed my hand signs finished as I stopped suddenly.

"Fuuton: Dai Kamaitachi!" I screamed, clapping my hands together a large, disk shaped of wind appeared out of my hands, flying towards him at fast speeds. Even as he tried to doge, it stayed on his tale, I quickly fallowed after it as he tried to hide behind a tree but the wind disk had cut through it.

I looked back at the frozen boys, I screamed at them, anger riveting from my body, "I TOLD YOU TO GET OUT OF HERE! GO!" I screamed.

Sasuke turned around, trying to get Naruto to fallow him, but Naruto, the stubborn idiot he was refused to go, and stood his ground.

I screamed inside my head, turning back to my enemy. I only saw the blade cut threw his body as I landed.

Naruto cheered, but I didn't let my guard up as I looked around. Not watching as the mud clone feel to the floor.

My eyes widened and I tried to jump away from the branch I sat on, narrowly avoiding the hand that had shot out and tried to grab me. I hurried to scale up the tree, trying to get away.

My eyes couldn't fallow the movement of his body as he emerged out of the tree, grabbing my hand first then my neck.

I gasped, my one free hand was scratching at his hand, while my captured hand as being crushed like an egg shell. My feet franticly dangled, as they swung at him, but to no use, my feet hand no leverage, thus no power.

I hung over a thin branch, it was covered in moss and It would lost likely break if I tried to stand on it too long. Hundreds of feet above the forest floor, my stomach turned, but I quickly snapped out of it, this was not time to freak your self out, Sakura.

I tried my best to look at him as his face appeared out of the mossy trunk, he smiled at me as I tried my best to smile back, having a plan in mind.

I tried my best to focus, remembering my training with the Hyuuga family; I recalled all the pressure points I learned.

If I remembered right, there was a pressure point in between your index finger and your thumb, close to the wrist. If I could just get that, he would let me go.

I tried my best to squeeze it and sure enough, he hand let go of me enough to that I could rip my neck away from his grasp painfully. But I didn't let that stop me as I used the momentum to land a solid kick in his stomach as I pushed away, breaking my hand free from his grasp as I flipped away from him, doing even more hand signs as I flew threw the air.

I didn't shout out the name as I had liked, but seeing that I had no time to waste, he was still every, every close to me.

I pulled just enough water from out of the tree I could do the Jutsu, I clapped my hands together as the solid spiral of water erupted out of the tree trunk from beside me. It twisted and turned, growing the face of a dragon as it roared, it's thin eyes glowing yellow as I made my get away.

I jumped away, looking down at my boys. Frustrated as hell that they hadn't already left, I quickly looked up to the enemy who had his hands full with my Jutsu.

I bit my lip, shifting, then I jumped down to their branch, landing silently as I grabbed there shoulders, scaring the hell out of them. I pushed them in the opposite direction of the fight.

"You need to get the hell out of here, why haven't you left already? Never mind, just go!" I pushed, whispering harshly.

Sasuke fallowed willingly enough but Naruto had dug his heals into the branch and refused to go. I groaned in aggravation on the outside, but on the inside, I was quietly crying, knowing all to well to get his butt in gear. But it killed me inside, I hated hurting him like this, but I couldn't help but think of the fate that awaited him if he stayed.

"Sakura-chan, you can't-!" I cut him off.

I grabbed his shoulders and pulled him close, our noses touching, I let my face crumble up in anger, my nostrils flaring as I used our height difference to my advantage, standing over him.

I narrowed my eyes, "Listen once, and listen good," My nose flared as my voice was low, menacing in my throat. His eyes widened, shocked beyond belief, I continued, my voice low, "You are going to get the hell outta here, and you're not even going to stop to look back until you reach the river. If you do, god save you, I will kill you Naruto."

I threw him to the ground, turning on my heal. I jumped off the branch as I ran back to where my Jutsu had just died. I didn't look back, seeing that if I did, they would see my crumbled up in pain face. I held in a sob as I left my best friends behind to face certain doom. Not even knowing I would come out alive.

But I left with a light heart, knowing they would leave and never come back.

I went back into battle, it didn't last every long, the second my team mates left, his skill level turned from an advanced Chuunin to a Kage. Beating me in seconds as he sent me falling to the floor, stabbing me with my own poison senbon, the bastard, injured and my ego totally deflated along with my pride, gone with the wind as a few fast, powerful pouches to the face, and a kick in the legs sent me falling. Paralyzed, I fell peacefully to my death.

My hair whipped around my face as it was ripped out of my bun, blinding me. But it didn't take a genius to figure out that that Nin as going to go find my team mates and kill them. Just because he wants too, nothing more, nothing less.

I had mountains of regrets, coming in by the bushel. I didn't want to die, but I saw it unavoidable seeing I was going to, if I'm unlucky, hit some branches that would slow me down, then fall strait onto the ground, either killing or hurting me so badly I would die in a few, painful moments. Or I would get lucky and hit the forest floor strait on and ending it in one, large, bloody mess.

My thoughts drifted as I fell, I wonder what Momma would do? Cry? She was strong. Her husband, would he cry? I doubt it; I hardly knew his real name.

Daddy?

I wanted to be so sure that he would cry, feel pain for my loss. But we had been growing farther and farther apart. I wanted to be sure he would, but most likely he wouldn't. I didn't like the idea, but I accepted it. It wasn't like I could do anything else, I was about to die, It wasn't like I was going to be saved by some kind person/animal.

I felt oddly calm about dying, it was weird. Shouldn't I see my life flash in my eye lids or like, remember when I was a baby? Something like that, but, none of that Wal-Mart gift card stuff happened as I neared the ground.

I closed my eyes, grateful I hadn't hit any branches.

But just as I neared the ground, I felt familiar, strong arms snatch me up, sliding to a stop on the ground, saving my life.

I snapped my eyes open, I looked around franticly. Scared and shocked out of my mind.

"Sasuke!" I whispered, staying limp in his arms as we ran.

He didn't look down at me but only held me closer to his chest. His face set and hard, I couldn't believe this was the same Sasuke from moments ago, who was scared for his life, so uptight and edgy. But now he was strong, lose, calm, and angry. A true warrior, it took my breath away. I felt so small, vulnerable in his arms. I was at a loss of words, I could only watch as my young caterpillar turned into a butterfly, even if it was momentary. I couldn't help my starring; I opened my mouth then closed it again, gawking like a fish.

I blinked; racing through the trees, starring openly at the bottom of his jaw. His warmth of his body warming mine, pressing my empty pockets to my body, reminding me I needed to go back and get my god damned Kunai. Yeash.

"Narutos up ahead, fighting with the Grass Ninja, once I find a place to hide you I'm going to go join him." He said emotionlessly.

My eyes widened, "Sasuke! Don't do this to your self! I'm just fine, let me go get rid of him! You can't-!" He cut me off.

He snapped his head down, glaring at me. "Sakura, stop doubting us." He said simply, looking back up as he continued. "You can't fight all our battles for us."

To hell with that, I can and will fight your battles, whether you like it or not!

I kept those thoughts to my self.

Sasuke started to slow down, and my mind quickly got frantic. I didn't want them to go off and fight this guy! Who knows what would happen!

But I didn't have a choice in the matter seeing that I was, in fact, paralyzed from neck below.

He came to a stop in a high, thick tree branch covered in thick leaves. He bent down and placed me between the branch and the trunk. The branch so thick I didn't have to worry about falling off, but god damn it, the thing was painfully high.

I watched in distress as Sasuke left me alone, hidden from the world. I wanted to reach out to him, stop him as I saw his retreating figure. But I just couldn't, it felt like something was holding me back, away from him. My limp body didn't help in the fight, but only made me feel like a baby waiting for it's guardians to come back from a battle. My stomach turned and twisted as I struggled to breathe, thinking of my boys against that monster, the snake-wanna-be/Grass imposter, who dared to stab me with my own poison! What did he take me for! Someone who didn't know shit about poison and didn't have an antidote? Jeez, and I didn't even need one! This thing would were off in a matter of minutes now, even if it was a lot of them.

I closed my eyes, the silence deafening as the only sounds that did compute were the sound of animals and the bugs around my body, crawling all around.

I waited.

And waited…

Then, in one exact moment, I knew something was deathly wrong.

My eyes widened, looking around franticly. I felt my body start to shake, then suddenly, my chest thrust forward, like someone had just landed a kick to my back. Then my arms started to shake even harder, thrusting around wildly, my legs did the same.

I was having a seizure.

And I knew why.

The Kyuubi, I could feel his god awful chakra run through my veins, over my violently thrusting body, it weighed me down. But that wasn't the worse of it.

One: Naruto must of lost control.

And Two: He was eating away at my chakra pills, everything that had suffered for, the pain, gone as I felt it burn up. The wall was crashing and I could hear Inners evil laughter get louder and louder, my chest bindings got painfully tight and I could feel my body grow, shrink, mature. I was horrified. My body stopped moving, and I felt the last of the poison, and chakra pills fade. Now, the only thing that was keeping inner back was, again, my crumbling metal wall that required more focus then I thought it did, but it was to late, I wasn't fast enough, I was sucked in, leaving my body lip on the thick branch.

The next thing I knew, I was laying face down on hard marble floors, my torso throbbing. I looked up slowly, only to instantly regret it.

There they stood, with all there glory. Inner dressed in a thin, long robe, sitting in her stone throne, her legs crossed, with her dangerous heals hairs away from my face as she looked down at me, with the Kyuubi in his human form at her side.

The Kyuubi in his human from was a sight to see, he had thick, wild, layered red gold, orange hair, sticking out everywhere. Hair fixed at odd angles in front of his eyes. He had a small, wildly spiky pony tail that was held together in gold bandages for a good two inches before his untamed hair exploded out, ending a little past his neck. His eyes were calm, for the moment, and rimmed with thick black, his eyes red with a black slit for his pupil. The thick black that rimmed his eyes traveled up all the way to the top of his ear were it attached to his scull, disappearing behind hair, the ear it's self was slightly pointed at the top with a small, ever small black stud at the top of his ear, with a matching one were normally a person would get a piercing on their earlobe, but on his left ear was a small, black ear stretcher. It was hallow, but with that that seamed to be the end of his pricings. His eyebrows where long and thin, again, calm. He wore a baggy, white and light blue sleeveless top of a Japanese robe, tucked into a almost black, blue obi that hung lose on his hips. The top not leaving much the imagination showing his extensive six pack, his skin a pail tan. His long arms flawless, his palms large with long, thin fingers with sharpened fingernails, sporting some gold rings that wrapped around his long fingers. I couldn't help but stare at the bizarre sight.

I blinked, tarring my gaze from his person and back the smirking Inner who looked down at me with long, flowing, wavy hair.

I scrambled to get up, wondering what the hell she wanted. If she wasn't out there, doing some damage then that meant she couldn't, and she, (hopefully) wouldn't mentally disturb me, because she did that all too willing. But now, I wondered what she wanted to talk about, seeing that she has been pulling me into her world to do so. But never had I seen the Kyuubi with her before.

Inner watched me with malevolence, smirking like she owned my soul, knew everything I thought, my fears, and my worries that cursed my mind, from Naruto and his losing control, from being discovered on the branch and killed, or worse, falling off the stupid branch to my death, in which, was one of the least of my concerns with the two most evil people in my universe standing before me.

I took a step back, I blinked once, and the Kyuubi was gone. I blinked again, starring like an idiot where his person had disappeared from. The hard marble floor only showing that he was there was the quickly fading outline of his bare feet; the heat of his feet left a light fog that reminded me of breathing on a cold window.

I quickly looked back to inner, my body guarded, hunched over, and ready to spring, my legs far apart.

Inner's smirk grew as she sighed, flipping back her hair as she sat up strait, "Calm down Sakura-chan, yeesh, you look like you belong at the bell tower in Notre Dame."

I slowly stood back up, my posture tense, still weary of the missing Kyuubi.

Inner shifted, putting her leg down, "Oh Sakura-chan, how I missed you. We should really have more meetings like this." her voice was like liquid candy, it was too sweet.

I huffed, "Can I leave now, I have something to do." I stated.

Inner smiled, "Oh but you just got here? What's that rush?" she cooed.

I was about to respond as I felt strong arms wrap around my neck, I froze as the feeling of the hair on Kyuubi's head brush against my neck as he bent over, his long, perfect nose brushing against my frozen neck, tugging at my hair line. I could feel his slow, hot breath on my back. He hugged me close to his tall body, crushing me into his large, hard chest.

I started to shake as I felt his hot tongue side against my jaw, my shaking became more erratic with my fears.

He was going to rip my head off, I could tell, with one flick of his finger, he could corrupt my mind, soul and body. I could feel this horrible, thick, wild chakra ooze out of him. My eyes were large as my chin was pulled back, as stiff as a board. I didn't want to be there, I was scared, alright? I hated him near me, I wanted him to leave and to never come back, the way he lusted for my blood to be splattered on the ground.

I let out a horrified scream as I felt his lips trail up my neck, my face crumbling up in terror, tears coming to my eyes as my body shook more.

My knees gave out from under me, making me fall limp, but that only made him pick me up, my feet dangling off the ground as he hunched over my body. Almost as if he was trying to make us one, pressing me into him. Every inch I felt him, my legs on his, my back in his hard chest. How his hands were holding me up, and were running down to the edge of my shirt, slowly, ever so slowly, pulling it up as his razor sharp nails over my navel, it was ever so light but just enough to cut my skin, the dull sting and my shirt's warmth disappearing from my stomach was the only thing that gave it away.

I arched my back, letting out little yells of desperation as I tried to look back at him. I didn't know why I was so scared, but I felt so scared. I was on the border edge of rape and death, either or.

"Stop please, let me go!" I whimpered as his strong arms tightened around me.

I felt long fingers grab my face and turn it around; my eyes were still large with fright and tears as I looked back at Inner, smirking sinisterly as her sharp nails dug into my jaw.

She leaned down, our faces inches apart, her eyes were like slits, "That's right, be scared. You will suffer for what pain you put me through with those stupid pills, I will make you live your worst nightmares day and night, while I take over the body and…" she smirked, letting go of my face with a wisp of her hand, leaving large scratches in their memory.

I muffled a scream as I felt his teeth run over my neck, but that wasn't the worst part. His chakra felt like maggots eating at my skin, boring through my membrane, worming through my tissue, muscle, and making a sponge out of my bones. I felt like someone had just stuffed me full of cotton as I keeled over, my eyes so large it hurt as I coughed out blood, falling to the ground.

I fell hard as the Kyuubi let go of my body, his arms had failed him as I felt the feeling of maggots eating at my body leave as he stood there, hunched over my body like he had been shot in the chest. He was completely frozen, and then with once action, he disappeared completely.

I lay there shaking, starring at the empty air. Was this another trick? I didn't feel like it, judging from Inners wild cursing and how I was thrown back into my own body once again.

My eyes snapped open as I gasped, launching forward I held my hand to my chest. Gasping desperately for air, my eyes wide, I whipped my head around, looking for anything that might attack me.

When I saw nothing I hunched over, closing my eyes as I tried to get a better grasp on my ragged breathing.

What was that all about? Why was I so scared?

My heart beat as rapid, strong, but it hurt every time it did beat, sending a dull ache through my chest. Swallowed air, trying to force my breathing to calm, and it did slowly but surely.

In the time it took to calm down I realized a few things.

One: If the Kyuubi left then that might if meant that,

A: He felt bad for me and left.

But that was imposable so I moved on to option B.

B: Naruto suddenly got control.

And that seamed more likely, so I went with that. I couldn't think of anything better anyway.

Two: If Naruto (possibly) gained control over his Kyuubi that meant,

A: He was strong enough mentally to push out the huge amounts of chakra and evil that was, if not more challenging to push out my own Inner, because it was a mass, and Inner had a somewhat complex of a person.

I immediately crossed out that option, I thought Naruto was smart, but every hot headed when it came to battle, and that should explain it's self.

B: He was beaten.

…Accepted as an answer I must admit, because I could see that happening. Could you not?

Three: I was really low on chakra pills and Inner was back in a unsuppressed state. My boobes are huge and my bandages are tight, they hurt.

With that thought I swallowed all of the pills I had on my body.

14 bottles later I took an over dose of Nixon and was on my way.

I jumped from tree to tree, looking all around me. I wanted to call out there names but I didn't risk being discovered by the teams that were littered all over the stupid forest. My eyes were heavy and stung, but I continued forward.

BUHAHAHAHA!

I shall torture you with never ending endings of my kinda awkward ending cliffie!
