Sakura looked out from her bedroom. Another night she couldn't sleep. Everything seemed to scary to her nowadays. When the wind made a noise, she would instantly wake up. When there was a sense of chakura nearby, she would take out a kunai. She felt so haunted.
Wind whispered again. Now Sakura was really scared. Still picturing what had happened on the Herb mission earlier that day. What Kakashi sensei had warned her. No matter what, there was no such thing as coincidence or luck. Everything that happens, happens for a reason. This only made Sakura clutch her blankets tighter to her.
Sakura faced toward the wall. From the corner of her eye, she saw the door open. Sakura thought it was probably her mom. So she felt at ease a little. Because of her ankle, her mom would check on her every now and then ever since she got home. So, it felt safer. Sakura felt some weight shift on the bed. It felt like her mom was sitting at the corner on the bed. Sakura kept her eyes closed. Then she felt hands on her head, stroking her hair. Sakura hard breathing slowed down. Thinking that she can finally fall asleep at ease. Sakura smiled and slowly fell asleep. The hand stopped. The window suddenly flew opened. Winds flew everywhere. Then she felt something weird, something strange. Sakura looked to her side and saw nothing. Sitting straight up Sakura quickly glanced around her room. Sakura stared though the darkness. Then the door opened. Sakura's mom walked in asking her what was wrong and why she wasn't asleep. Sakura just stared back at her, speechless. Her mother put her arms around her signing that she was cold. She went over to the window, then asking Sakura why she left the window opened. Sakura turned her head to the window, seeing a flower. With her mother picking it up she asked Sakura why it was there. There was no response as Sakura's mom gave her the flower. Then exiting the room and closing the door, Sakura clutched the flower.
..a forget-me-not...
Sakura fell in deep silence, she refused to fall asleep. After that, she started to doze off, then falling asleep.
A figure stood outside Sakura's window. "Your so gullible Sakura, i'll have so much fun playing with you"
--morning---
"what!? Your going ona mission!? So soon!?!?" Sakura nearly yelled at her parenst.
"Yes dear, it may just take a month or two though." Sakura's father reassured her.
"But..."
"Plus, the herbs Kakashi gave us seems to be working wonders on your ankle, you'll be fine." Sakura's mother told her.
"This is soooo not fair..."
"Train to be a ninja, then maybe you can join us." With that, her parents left. Leaving Sakura to care for herself.
"Hell no! After last night! No way!!!" Sakura jumped up, grabbing a piece of toast, she darted out the door.
--team 7---
"Sakura chan!!!!" Naruto yelled, then givign Sakura a death grip.
"..naruto..." Sakura glared at the ramen freak who let go of her.
"Good morning Sasuke kun!" Sakura yelled.
"Aa." Sasuke replied, not really giving any thought.
Shrugging Sakura opened up her bag to make sure she had all her kunais, after all. She did leave in a hurry. Digging into ehr bag, her fingers hit something, pulling it out Sakura looked at it sadly.
"Eh? What's that Sakura chan?" Naruto asked leaning over.
"What does it look like? It's a flower." Sakura said to Naruto.
"What kind?"
"A.."
"A forget-me-not." Sakura and Naruto turned to the source of the voice[rhymes! crAZY].
"Good Morning Sasuke kun!!!" Ino yelled as she glomped on Sasuke.
Sasuke pushed Ino off and went back to his leaning position. "Psh, Morning forehead girl!!!" Ino yelled.
"You too Ino pig!!!" Sakura yelled in defense.
"So, you got a forget-me-not eh? Who gave it to you? Everyone knows you can't deserve that powerful flower." Ino said taunting Sakura.
"Eh? Those flowers can be used as weapons?" Naruto asked.
"She means flower language Naruto." Sakura said.
"Flower...language?" Naruto asked with question marks over his head.
"I suppose, boys wouldn't know of it, you see, there are different flowers with different meanings. The sun flower means friend ship, the rose means love. Forget-me-not means true love. Which I'm sure Sakura doesn't have." The forget-me-not part perkerd up Sasuke's and Naruto's ears.
"Shut up Ino pig!!!" Sakura started to chase Ino around.
"What are you even doing here Ino pig?!" Sakura asked the blonde.
"Hm? Our team gets the day off. It seems there was a murder last night. So most of the jounins and Chunnins are inspecting the place." Ino said as a matter of factly.
"A murder?" Sasuke questioned.
"Yup!" Ino loved it when she could tell about these things. "Listen up, and listen well. All the teams have the day off, that's why I'm here. To tell you guyz."
"What about the murder? How many?" Naruto asked.
"They say only three were involved." Ino said.
"That's...not...too much.." Naruto stuttered.
Sakura whacked Naruto. "Baka! Those are still people!"
"And you know what they say, it's not the quality, it's the quanity." Ino said.
"Eh? What do you mean?" Sakura asked.
"The victims were found in a bloody mess. With kunais in their hands, and not only that, the witnesses say that they were screaming and yelling. Rumors have it, that they lost their minds and killed themselves or something." Ino said in a dark tone.
"Gyaaa!!!" Naruto screamed bloody murder and ran behind Sakura. Sasuke just walked over next to Sakura, listening.
"Another rumor has it that those people were in some kind of illusion, before the attack, they kept screaming about torture in two seconds, how one minute seemed like twelve hours." Ino continued.
"Where does that sound familer..." Sasuke murured under hsi breath cauding Sakura to glance at him.
"I-Ino, where were these people found?" Sakura asked her friend.
"Dead. In a nearby wearhouse. I'm telling you, the people say it was so gruesome, they can't even tell who the people are." Ino said to Sakura.
"But Ino, do you think that..." Sakura started.
"What Sakura?"
"I also might know something." Sakura said.
"What Sakura chan?" Naruto asked.
"The nearest wearhouse is two blocks aways from me and...that day, I think I remeber some girls beiing excited over something, something about...flowers." Sakura said, gripping the forget-me-not in her hands.
"That's right...the flower shipment for our flower shop was coming yesterday...but we never got it." Ino said wide eyed.
Naruto once again screamed bloody murder and ducked down.
"Sakura, do you think that person could be connected to you?" Ino asked.
"No, I barely know anyone outside the village, including inside, the main people I know are the nine rookies including me oh, and Neji, Lee san and Ten Ten." Sakura said.
"Whatever it is, it knows you Sakura." Sasuke said surprising both Ino and Sakura.
"What do you mean Sasuke kun?" Sakura asked.
"How do they know where your house was? How did they know when to attack? Sakura, they not only know you, they know everyone around you." Sasuke said.
"...that must be one of the longest sentence i've heard you say." Naruto commented.
"Your ruining the drama here." Ino said to Naruto, who was still behind Sakura.
"Wait! Sakura, your mom and dad are chunnins right?!" Ino asked.
"yeah." Sakura answered simply.
"Sakura, the mission can take over a month to do which means..." Ino motioned Sakura to continue for her.
"...I'll be home alone." Sakura said.
"Don't worry Sakura chan!! I, Uzumaki Naruto, will be your savior!!!!" Naruto yelled happily.
"Great, and how can you save me if your always behind me?" Sakura asked.
"It might be a good idea if Sakura didn't sleep at her house." Ino said.
"No, it'd be dangerous for the people's home i'm sleeping over at." Sakura said.
"That means we'll sleep over at Sakura's house. Chances are, the guy will come again." Sasuke said.
"Yosh! I'll round up some people, too bad most of them we'll have to be guys though.." Ino said.
"What?! Why?!" Sakura asked.
"Sad to say, the strongest geninns here are guys. Don't worry, Hinata, Ten Ten and me will be there too!!!" Ino said doing a Peace sign.
"Hell yeah!! Sleep over at Sakura's!!!" Naruto yelled.
