Chapter 48:A Death?

Disclaimer:I do not own Naruto or any of its characters.

Speaking "blah blah"

Thinking 'Blah blah'

Inner 'blah blah'

Ino called up Sasuke, he of course put his phone on speaker so, that everyone else could hear.

"Sakura found the key!"said Ino.

"Wow, that was fast!"said kiba loud enough so that Ino would be able to hear it.

"Do you think you guys can come today,with the information that Dosu gave you?"asked Ino.

"Yeah,we still find it weird that he's helping but, I guess not everyone is cut out to be bad"said Shikamaru.

"When will you be coming?"asked Ino.

"Today, we should come at night or in the evening"said Sasuke.

'Where is Sakura-chan?!"asked Naruto.

"She's downstairs eating breakfast with Zaku"said Ino.

Sasuke's grip around his phone tightened.

"Tell her we said hi when she's done eating breakfast!"said Darien.

"We will see you and Sakura later on.Bye"said Sasuke as he hung up.

'We will be rescued!Woohoo!'thought Ino.

Downstairs With Sakura

She was eating pancakes and eggs and she was drinking orange juice.

"Sakura, have you seen Kin?"asked Zaku.

'Yeah,she's unconcious in a bathroom'thought Sakura.

"Nope haven't seen her!Why?"asked Sakura.

"Well,she's been missing for a while,no one knows where she is"said Zaku."Well, I have no idea of where the bitch might be"said Sakura as she drank her orange juice.

"If you see her, tell her to go to my office"said Zaku.

"Okay"said Sakura.

'We wont see her ever again!'said Inner Sakura.

'you got that right'said Sakura.

"So, want to be my girlfriend?"asked Zaku.

"No!"said Sakura.

"Why not?Forget about the Uchiha,you wont ever see him again!"said Zaku angrily.

"I don't like you!You can't force someone to like you!Especially when they are already in love with someone else!"said Sakura.

"I will get rid of him anyway!"said Zaku.

"With what I saw on the list, you wont be able to get rid of him"said Sakura.

Her eyes widened at what she said.'Holy shit, he's going to know that I was in his office'thought Sakura.

'Nice going!'said Inner Sakura sarcastically.

'Shut the hell up!'said Sakura.

"Um uh I'm done, goodbye!"said Sakura as she ran away and she ran up the stairs.

'With what she saw on the list?Huh?!Wait, she can't be talking about that list can she?!That would mean that she was in my office!'thought Zaku as he angrily stood up.

"Zaku, we have been looking for Kin,she is no where to be found.Did she disobey you and leave?"asked one of Zaku's gang members.

"That little bitch,let's go search for her"said Zaku as they both left the kitchen, and they left the building.

Sakura went into Ino's room."I kind of slipped out that I was in his office...they have to come soon!"said Sakura.

"They are coming today!Sasuke said either in the evening or night!"said Ino.

"I heard that they left so that they could search for Kin,once they find out that she isn't out there,they will come back and Zaku will start questioning and threatening me!"said Sakura.

"Why did you have to tell him that you were in his office?!"asked Ino.

"I didn't!I just mentioned a list I saw, which happens to be in his office which, will then lead him to ask me why I was in his damn office!"said Sakura.

"Well, the others will be coming so, we don't have much to worry about!"said Ino.

"What if they don't come on time?!"asked Sakura.

"They will!"said Ino.

"Well, I guess that this is the last time we will be seeing Zaku.Wait, since he's not here and Kin's nto around, I can call Sasuke-kun!Dosu, free Ino!Oh and where are our cell phones?"asked Sakura.

Dosu got out the key and unlocked the handcuffs.

Ino rubbed her wrist.

"It sure feels good to be free!"said Ino.

Dosu went over to a closet and took out a bag.

He gave Sakura her cell phone back,and he gave Ino hers too.

"Good thing my phone was off, it didn't lose any battery.I should go to the office to see if there is anything useful up there!Warn me if Zaku comes"said Sakura as she ran out.

Sakura went to the office and decided to call Sasuke first.

"Sasuke-kun?!"asked Sakura.

"Sakura?!I thought you weren't allowed to call!"said Sasuke.Even though he didn't show it on the outside he was happy to hear her voice again.

"Oh, that's Sakura-chan!I want to talk to her!"said Naruto.

"Back off dobe!"said Sasuke as he went out of his hang out room and into his own room.

"(giggles)Wow, Naruto-kun is still as loud as ever.Zaku is out so, I'm calling you while I have the chance"said Sakura.

"Oh, we will be there in a while, and then we will be back together.I will beat the fuck out of that bastard for taking you!Did he do anything to you?!"asked Sasuke.

"Well,he did try to um kiss me and stuff but, he never got the chance to actually do it and well, he said we would finish that some other time but, thank the lord that you guys are coming to save us today!"said Sakura.

"That damn bastard!I'm going to kill him!"said Sasuek angrily.

"He will be coming back soon and well,he will start questioning me and stuff because I accidentally mentioned that I was in his office."said Sakura.

"Don't let him scare you"said Sasuke.

"Scared is the last thing I am.I'm just pissed off that I have to stay here and not see you.Please hurry up,I can't stand this!Who knows what he will do once he comes back"said Sakura.

"I really hate that bastard!Don't worry, we will be there as soon as we can, we're just making sure we have everything we need and we're making sure that everyone knows the plan"said Sasuke.

"(sigh)Okay, please hurry Sasuke-kun, I love you"said Sakura.

"I love you too Sakura,I will be there for you soon,bye"said Sasuke.

"Bye"said Sakura as she hung up the phone.

She put her phone in her pocket and started looking around.

With Ino & Dosu

"What are we going to do if he comes and sees me unhandcuffed?"asked Ino.

"He wont, we all know that of course the first thing he will do is go over to Sakura.We just need to wait for your friends to arrive to let you escape"said Dosu.

"Your coming with us right?"asked Ino.

"I don't want to be a bother or anything"said Dosu.

"Nonsense, you wont be a bother!You should come with us!"said Ino.

"Will they let me?"asked Dosu.

"Of course they will!Especially since you helped us out a lot"said Ino.

"Okay"said Dosu.'She's really nice,and so is Sakura.Are they all that nice?Maybe it wont be so bad to hang out with them'thought Dosu.

Five Hours Later

Zaku came back really angry.'Where the hell could Kin have gone?!I was searching for that bitch for five damn hours!She could have at least told me she was going to go somewhere!'thought Zaku.

They were searching in all the places that Kin might be but, she didn't turn up anywhere,they even called her cell phone but, nothing.Kin was NO WHERE to be found.

'That bitch is worthless anyway!Now, back to the subject about Sakura.She entered my office.What could she have been doing there?Wait,the key is in there.Surely, she couldn't have found it, could she?'thought Zaku.

He ran to his office.

When he entered he immediately went to the floor board and lifted it up.THE KEY WAS MISSING!

'She took it!I know she did!Wait, so she was in my office in the morning?!'thought Zaku.

He went to his room and saw Sakura sitting on the bed,looking into space.

"Sakura!"said Zaku.Sakura turned to look at Zaku.

"Didn't we discuss this already?!I already know that you know my name,you don't have to yell it!"said Sakura while glaring at him.

Zaku glared back."Where's the key?"asked Zaku.

"The key?"asked Sakura looking confused.'Damn it, now I'm in for it.'thought Sakura.

"Don't play dumb with me Sakura.I know that you were in my office earlier, and you took the key.Where is the key and what were you doing in my office?"asked Zaku angrily.

"Are you okay?I didn't take any key.I wasn't in your office"said Sakura.

Zaku grabbed her from the shirt and forcefully made her get up and look him in the eye.

"Where.is.it?"hissed Zaku.

"Fuck.you."said Sakura as she glared at him.

Zaku threw her against the wall.'Ouch that hurts'thought Sakura as she got up.

"Give me the key!"said Zaku.

"..."

"Sakura,GIVE ME THE KEY DAMN IT!"said Zaku.

"Zaku, SHUT THE HELL UP WILL YOU?!"asked Sakura.'I have to stall him.I need to give the others a chance to come!'thought Sakura.

"Sakura,you are getting on my last nerve!"said Zaku.

"You were already on my last nerve a few weeks ago!"said Sakura.

KNOCK-KNOCK

"What the hell do you want?!"asked Zaku.

"Sir, we are being attacked!"said the guy from the other side of the door.

Zaku was surprised and then he turned to look at Sakura."If I find out you have something to do with this,your going to regret it!"said Zaku as he left and slammed the door shut.

'They're here!'thought Sakura happily.

It was already six o'clock in the afternoon.

"I have to go to Ino's room!"Sakura said to herself.

She opened up the door and ran to Ino's room.

"Where do you think you're going?!We're under attack and you're not allowed to go anywhere!Stay in your room!"said a guy with a bat in his hand.

Sakura raised her eye brow at him.

"Who the hell do you think you are?!"asked Sakura as she punched him across the face.

She hit his pressure point, and he was knocked out.

She ran down the stairs and went to Ino's room.She had to fight off a few people but,she was fine.

"Ino-chan,they're here!"said Sakura.

"Kiba and Derick are coming here!"said Dosu.

"Okay!"said Sakura.

Soon Kiba and Derick appeared.

Kiba was hugging the life out of Ino."Damn it Ino, I missed you!"said Kiba.

"I missed you to Kiba-kun!"said Ino as she happily hugged him.Kiba gave her a chaste kiss on the lips.

Derick hugged Sakura."You okay?"asked Derick."Yeah,I'm fine"said Sakura.

"Good, Sasuke should be busting Zaku's ass right now"said Derick.

"Sasuke-kun!Ah!Where are they?!"asked Sakura.

"They are on the first floor but,you shouldn't go Sakura-chan.It's too dangerous!"said Derick btu, Sakura had already ran off.

"(sigh)That girl"muttered Derick.

"We have to go help the others!"said Kiba.

With Sasuke & Zaku

Sasuke and Zaku were fighting and well, arguing.

"Your going to regret touching her!"said Sasuke as he punched Zaku across the face.

Zaku went flying into the wall,leaving a dent.

Sasuek wasted no time in going over to him and picking him up by the collar.

He slammed Zaku as hard as he could,against the wall.

"I have been waiting for a while to do this!No one messes with my girl, no one touches her,and your going to get what you deserve"said Sasuke as he punched Zaku.

Zaku was able to push Sasuke off of him."There is no way I'm going to let you take her away!I finally have what I want and I'm not going to let you take it away from me!"said Zaku angrily as he spit out some blood.

Sasuke had Zaku in a head lock and he was punching Zau's head repeatedly,causing blood to drip down Zaku's face.

Sasuke was pissed off,Zaku had taken away his girl,he went to far with what he did.There is no way Sasuke is letting him get away with it,he wouldn't let anyone get away with touching what was his,not now,not ever.

"She is mine and mine only!Not you or anyone else will take her away!"said Sasuke as he slammed Zaku's face against the hard wall.

Zaku was slipping in and out of consciousness.His sight was blurry and his face was covered in blood.

He lost,Sasuke already wont the battle,there was no way that Zaku would be able to beat Sasuke, int he condition that he was currently in.

Zaku was able to somehow get up and he shoved Sasuke about fifteen feet away from him and he held a gun pointed at Sasuke's head.

"If you move,I shoot!"said Zaku.He was moving wobbly since,he was really lightheaded from the amount of blood loss.He felt like he was dying but,he was trying to bare the pain.

"You can never win a fair fight can you?Hn,you always need to be a cheating bastard!"said Sasuke while glaring at Zaku.

"I can't stand you Uchiha.She could have been mine!I could have had her but, no, she just had to end up falling in love with you!You want to know what I say to that?I say, FUCK YOU AND I WILL SEE YOU IN HELL!"said Zaku as he pulled the trigger and BOOM!

Zaku and Sasuke both heard a yell someone yelled "No!"

Sasuke was covered in blood but, why didn't he feel any pain?Was he going to die?Wait,what?That's not his blood?

At the last minute Sakura came and ran as fast as she could in front of Sasuke.

She took the bullet instead.

Sakura was shot on her left shoulder,blood was gushing out,she held her shoulder in pain as she fell to the ground with tears at her eyes.

Sasuke's eyes widened.'S-sakura?!Why did she go in front of me?!Sakura!What the hell?!'thought Sasuke.

Zaku fell on the floor as he finally fell unconscious.

Sasuke knelt down beside Sakura.

"Sakura!S-sakura...w-why?"asked Sasuke.

Sakura turned to look at him and winced in pain."I love you Sasuke-kun,there is no way I would let him take you away from me.I wont let you die Sasuke-kun.I love you and always will,your mine and I'm yours and we're going to stay together no matter what"said Sakura as she kissed his lips and soon fell unconscious or...(gulp)...dead?

"Sakura!Sakura wake up!Sakura answer me!Sakura!"said Sasuke as he shook her.

"Don't leave me Sakura, why did you do it?!Why are you so stupid?!Why would you go in front of me?!I was the one who was suppose to get shot,not you!"said Sasuke as he tried to shake her and calling out her name,hoping that she would wake up.

'She's not dead is she?!She can't be dead!I can't live without her!She wouldn't leave me alone...she is still alive!She has to be!'thought Sasuke sadly.

Unknown to Sasuke he already started to cry.Tears were rolling down his face as he saw the girl he loves in his hands,turning pale...losing the color of her skin...losing her life.

"Sakura...don't go...I love you...please, don't go...Sakura...you are my life...don't go"said Sasuke sadly as he brushed the strands of her hair behind her ear.

Everyone else had come and were surprised at the scene in front of them.

A bloody pale as a ghost Sakura in a crying Sasuke's arms.

'Whoa, Sasuke is crying!What happened to Sakura?!'thought Naruto.

'S-sakura-chan isn't dead right?!'thought Darien.

'I never thought the Uchiha would cry, I guess he really does love her.I feel so foolish for trying to take her away from him before'thought Gaara.

They all watched the sad scene.Shikamaru called an ambulance.

The ambulance came and took her.Sasuke would rive right behind them.Naruto put a reassuring hand on Sasuke's shoulder.tears were also forming in the blond's eyes.

"Don't worry Sasuke, she will make it.She will be fine,they wont take our cherry blossom away from us.It will take much more than this to keep her away"said Naruto.

Sasuke sighed and went into his car and followed after the ambulance.Everyone did the same.No one dared talk.

Not after the scene that they just saw.'I hope Sakura-chan is alright!'thought Ino as she cried.

'Poor Sakura-chan, she will be fine though, I sure hope she will.'thought Hinata.

'Haruno will make it, she will be fine'thought Kankuro.

'You better make it Sakura-chan...nothing will ever be the same with you gone'thought Skyler.

'Don't die on us now, Sakura-chan!'thought Darien as he fought back his tears.

All of the girls were crying because of what happened.

'Don't worry Uchiha, I'm sure she will be fine'thought Neji.
