Sasuke walked down a mountain path with a fairly normal pace. His head was
lowered and his hands stuffed into his pockets. That day stayed in his mind
vibrantly, did he really know who Sakura was? He too was judgmental of her.
He always thought of her as another one of those irritating girls that
followed him around mindlessly, like flies attracted to sweets. What she
did showed him that she wasn't the same, and it confused him. How could she
say the word "love" so easily? Maybe it was a girl thing, he wasn't quite
sure, but the only people he ever loved was his parents, but now even they
were a distant memory, and that wasn't real love. Well. the love that
Sakura felt for him anyway. Why is love so important to people? What made
them fall in love? Sasuke wasn't really that sure it was possible for him
to ever understand it, or feel it. Was he to live his life without ever
knowing the one thing that everyone craves? He snorted of discontent as, no
more than a second later, one of the cloaked figures appeared next to
Sasuke,
"Don't bother me." He retorted, gritting his teeth behind his closed mouth.
The shinobi continued to walk next to Sasuke, and as Sasuke turned into a
dash, the shinobi easily caught up.
"You caught me in a bad mood. What do you want?" He snapped. The shinobi
blinked and then seemingly grinned and giggled. In response, Sasuke
clenched his fists, "I said, leave me alone." The shinobi blinked, her eyes
were sapphire, big and round like the over exaggerated "kawaii" look. She
disappeared and then reappeared in front of him so quickly that he skidded
with shock, kicking up dirt. The female shinobi clasped her hands together
and grinned widely. She then pulled her hood down and her bright pink hair
lying in two fluffy pigtails, bounced like sugar-creampuffs. She pulled out
a kunai from her pigtail holder and forcefully threw it at Sasuke.
"So. you want to fight?" Sasuke understood clearly as he snapped his hand
at the kunai, which landed around his finger which he twirled. He smirked
with blazing eyes,
"Actually. defeating the likes of you might make me feel better."
The girl nodded and opened her mouth, which she had kept closed the whole
time, and she did this to animate a yawn, but nothing came out. She was as
silent as if she were a mime and at this point he could tell that she was a
mute. She formed the sign of the bird and then of the wolf and a few other
gestures Sasuke couldn't catch. All he knew was that slowly, everything was
fading, fading into oblivion, darkness. Sasuke couldn't see anything, he
grumbled, reading her attacks will be harder in the darkness that
surrounded them, even with his Sharigan. He closed his eyes and no moment
later the powers of the Sharigan were unleashed, but.
'What? What is this Jutsu. why is my head.pounding. so.painful.' Sasuke was
shivering, his hands clasped to his head, pale as ever.
'Hehe. poor confused little boy. didn't you know that your Sharigan has a
weakness to my attack of darkness?' A sliver of a voice came through
Sasuke's head, it was the girl but the voice didn't fit her. It had a
strange echo to it. It was sinister, dark, sadistic, while the face he laid
eyes on before, was peppy, bright and had the appearance of a typical ditz.
'What are you? What do you want?' Sasuke responded telepathically, for she
created a pathway for both of them to converse.
'I am here for revenge. revenge against the Konohagure Village.for what you did to me.' She hissed back, 'or. I'm here to repay your village.for my gift.' Sasuke brought his hands away from his forehead and stood up, his body still shaking,
'I don't know what you mean but. I'm finished talking!' Sasuke broke her jutsu and he was able to use the Sharigan, the darkness that clouded his eyes disappeared and his Sharigan now held strong. He clasped his hands together and sent out Katon Ryuuka no Jutsu, heading straight for her. The flames erupting from his mouth.
'Big mistake.like your Sharigan I can read my opponents moves, but not by sight, by hearing. now. try this one.' When the massive ball of flame disappeared, he could see her with her hands in front of her, the flames made a large circular pattern around her, dancing delicately, but the flames never touched her, not even once.
'Now let me show you a thing you cannot do with the help of your Sharigan.'

'Where is Tsunade-sama?' Sakura looked around the empty office worryingly. Papers were scattered everywhere, blood drenching the beautiful carpets and hangings. Two Jounin bodies laid on the ground, very dead, and there seemed to be holes in the tips of their fingers, showing the tops of the fingers were completely slashed off, yet all the blood was sucked from them. She had followed a trail of blood, trail of many bodies sprawled on the ground of the villages. Small children crying over their dead parents bodies. Obviously there was something wrong, an unexplainable massacre occurred throughout the village and hardly anything seemed the matter. Over 200 soldiers died yesterday night, according to Tsunade's files, which Sakura looked through hoping for a sign of why the Hokage was absent. What had gone on? Why didn't Tsunade-sama talk about this warning sooner? Sakura turned quickly when she heard the sounds of slurping and then a hiss of content. "Nothing like the taste of human blood to satisfy your hunger after a well deserved victory." The voice was like a snakes. Long lankly fingers with sharp nail were drenched in blood, one hand holding a soup bowl, the other one was mixing the substance inside the bowl with a bloody spoon. The liquid was a thick, dark red. yes, it was blood. Sakura stared with wide eyes, both with disgust and shock. She swallowed hard moving closer to the shinobi. The red, snake-like eyes glared at Sakura. She outstretched an arm, "Are you another weakling woman who lets men save her? Are you waiting for your prince charming?" the cold eyes reached Sakura's, making Sakura's eyes narrow. The cold eyes withdrew and then faced the bowl again. Long black hair falling around the pale face, not waiting for a particular answer. She outstretched her tongue and picked the spoon out form the bowl, bringing it closer to her face. She sipped delicately, making Sakura shiver and cringe. "Reliability is futile. the traditional words of survival of the fittest, eh? Trusting those who are taught to feel superior to you are all trash. One like that is to never to be trusted. Those are the real enemies." She answered, licking her lips. Although Sakura couldn't help but feel disgusted, the words kept her standing there. It was as though the assassin was reading her mind, letting Sakura fall into her hands. Sakura gritted her teeth and sighed underneath her breath, "Sasuke." Her eyes were spitefully, yet she was saddened at the same time. She lifted her head and stared at the snake-like assassin, "I want to become strong. I don't want to rely anymore." There was an intensity in her voice. "That's good." The girl peered up at Sakura and held up the spoon, "Would you like some?" Sakura shook her head quickly, her hands in front of her. The assassin shrugged and got up. "My sister needs me." she threw the spoon to the ground and sucked up the rest of the blood left in the bowl. She flung off her black robe so that her outfit was a sleeveless top, her pale arms covered with a black seal and deep scars. Sakura somehow felt worry as she looked at the other's scars. She realized Sakura's look, so while she put her hair up, the assassin faced Sakura and hissed slowly, "Remember what I said." Before she stretched her neck and a dark mist appeared around her. It spun so strongly that it splashed blood everywhere, staining Sakura, as far as anyone could tell, they would think that she was in battle. When the mist cleared, the girl disappeared. "So. Sasuke is my enemy then? Well. I'll prove him wrong. I'll wipe that arrogant smirk of superiority off his face once and for all. I will prove to him that I am strong." Sakura nodded with a strength she never felt before.
