Chapter 6

"Everyone! Spread out! Hide!!" Sasuke yelled out. However, it was too late. There was already a jutsu that had been done. "Oh no," Sasuke looked around. "Damn, it's an illusion." No one could be seen and Sasuke was by himself. A blurry image of Sakura appeared in front of him. ".Sakura?" He walked over to her and put his hands on her shoulders. "Are you okay?" She smacked him and he fell to the ground. Feeling his face, small traces of blood were on his fingers. "Sakura.I know. I know how you must feel right now about.those times before. But I'm sorry. This isn't time for this anyway!"

"No you aren't," Sakura said. "You never are, you bastard."

Sasuke was surprised and on his knees. His right fist hit the ground. "I'm sorry! I swear to you!"

"You don't love me. I can't accept that. Sasuke-kun! Just say that you hate me already! You know you do! Just say it!!!"

No words or emotions came from Sasuke. A tear slid down his cheek. ".."

"Say something already!"

"I can't tell you my real feelings."

"Why?" she yelled.

He got up and dusted himself off. As quick as the eye blinked a kunai was in Sakura's side.

".Damn you. Why did you do this to me?"

"I can't tell my real feelings to a fake!"

"Sasuke! Sakura!" Naruto yelled. "Damn it!" Naruto ran forward, but didn't seem to be going anywhere. The entire area he was in had a bright white color to it.

"Who do you care for the most? I shall bring them here. They will make you happy! You can tell them you love them!"

"I care for everyone I know! Well." Naruto thought for a bit. "Maybe not Sasuke so much, but I don't hate him.that much."

"Who do you care for the most?" the voice asked again.

"If you mean, who I like. I'm not going to tell you, you! You bastard!"

"N.Naruto-kun?"

Sakura's eyes opened. Her head rushed around in circles as the area she was in spun widely. Leaves blew by her face obstructing her view. Closing her eyes, she tried to focus. "Hey! Hey! Big Forehead!" Her eyes opened wide and saw in front of her a vision from long ago. She saw herself as a young girl, crying.

An older girl pointed at her and continuously called the little Sakura names. "Haha, your forehead could be used as a monument!"

"." Sakura remembered this encounter too well.

"Lea.leave me alone, please," the small Sakura pleaded.

The bully continued to laugh at her and call her names. The young Sakura continued to cry. Tears were rolling down her cheeks; her eyes became redder then before. Then suddenly, a young boy with black hair came behind the older girl. It was Sasuke. The two started to continually make fun of the younger Sakura. The poor girl started bawling.

"THAT ISN'T WHAT HAPPENED!" Sakura cried out. The vision disappeared. A voice suddenly boomed.

".. That's EXACTLY what happened. You've just been so clouded by your love for Sasuke-kun, you've erased the bad, and created your own memory!"

Sakura felt adrenalin pump throughout her body. Tears streamed down her cheeks. "It didn't. happen like that. Sasuke-kun saved me from that girl. I can remember it all!" Suddenly, a figure appeared. It was the man that created all of the illusions. Sakura took some steps back.

".Hinata?" Naruto asked. The girl nodded. "What are you doing here.?" He looked around. "Wait a minute! You can't be Hinata!"

"I .I am Hinata Naruto! I'm Hinata! "

The girl jumped on Naruto and had her hands around his neck. "Even I'm not THAT stupid!" Naruto put his hands together and closed his eyes. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Multiple clones of hiself appeared in small clouds of smoke. "Attaaaaack!!" Jumping up and throwing kunai and shurikens, the clones attacked. The girl fell to floor coughing up blood.

"Na.Naru..to" She said softly. "It is really.I, Naruto. Believe me."

".." Naruto's head hurt and he said. "Hinata would never be brave enough to do something like that. Nice try!" The Hinata's face turned into the feminine man. Naruto jumped back and bumped into someone.

"Naruto!" Sakura yelled.

"Sakura!!" Naruto exclaimed loudly.

"Where's Sasuke-kun!?" Sakura screamed. "SASUKE-KUN!" Sakura and Naruto looked towards each other and then forward. The man patted dust off his clothes. Folding his arms he looked at the two.

"If you think this is over already. you are sadly mistaken I'm afraid.
