Sasuke:*Throws a kunai knife towards Kakashi cutting Kakashi's face*

Sakura:Sasuke Kun? What are you doing?!

Sasuke:Look at him Sakura! Hes a fake.

Sakura:Fake?

Sasuke: Yea and the fact he forgot about Mr. Hirmura confirms it.

Sasuke:{So I was right . Who is this? }

Naruto:Who are you? *Stares at the ninjas forehead protector*

SoundNinja: I'm a ninja from the village of Sound that is all you need to know before you all die.

Inuyasha:Die. HA! You seem to think were easy prey.

Inuyasha:*Balls up his fist* Apparently you have never met a demon before!*Smirks*

SoundNinja:{Demon what does he mean ? No matter this should be over soon.}

Naruto: Why do you want to kill us? What have we've done?

SoundNinja: *Smirks* My orders is to kill Uchida Sasuke and anyone who interferes.

SoundNinja: If you don't interfere maybe I'll let you live.

Sakura:Kill....Sasuke Kun? *Tears form in her eyes* I will die fighting before I'll let you kill him!

Naruto:Yea ! Plus I believe we have the advantage being six to one.

Hianta:Uh Naruto Kun...*Speaks softly*

Naruto:Huh did you say something?

SoundNinja: Fool.

Hianta:Naruto Kun.... I see someonelse a ways from here hes not the only one!

Naruto:How did you?? I didn't even..

SoundNinja:*Laughs*

Sasuke:Whats so funny? *His eyes darkening becoming angry*

SoundNinja2: *Throws a shuriken covered in poison and hits Hianta in the back*

Hianta:*Gasp* Naruto Kun....I'm sorry I could not protect yo....*Falls to the ground*

Kaoru:{Where did he come from I didn't even see him.There eyes are so dark....}

Naruto:Hianta!*Runs towards her to help catch her fall* Are you ok?

Hianta:*Blush* I....yes ...just feel dizzy. Will you help me stand I need to help.

Naruto:No you need to lie down it looks like you got poisoned.

Hianta:*Cries* I need to get up ....I'm being a bother....*Trys to stand then passes out*

Naruto:Hianta...{What did you mean by protecting me?}

Naruto:Kogume....Can you take care of Hianta while we fight?

Kogome:Yes... Naruto if you can hurry with this fight I can find her some herbs to help her get better.

Naruto:Ok I'll make it fast.

Sasuke:{Hianta Kun!!!) You will pay for that!

.................................................................................................................................................................

Kakashi: We were lucky!

Kenshin:Lucky?

Kakashi: Yes getting the last two copies.

Kenshin:I'm not sure I should keep this...

Kakashi:*Wink* I won't tell on you.

Kenshin:I don't feel good about leaving them alone.

Kenshin:Was this really wise?

Kakashi:No but it tells me what I need to know.

Kenshin:Huh?

Kakashi:The people I sensed were not after me but my students.

Kakashi:So like I asked earlier you can run fast right?

Kenshin:*Sigh* Yes{Sorry Miss Kaoru I will hurry to you!}

*A little further down the road past the city*

Voice:Kakashi so nice to see you.

Kakashi:*Worried look* Orochimaru? { A type S missing Nin what is he doing around here?}

Orochimaru: Heh He I think you should go find your students quick .

Orochimaru:*Smirk* They have no Idea what there up against.

*Orochimaru disappears out of sight*

Kakashi:{Damn. He got away.}

Kakashi:We need to hurry this is more serious than I thought!

Kenshin:*Nods head* {I hope Miss Kaoru is ok I knew I had a bad feeling about this.}

Kenshin:{And who was that man ?}{I hate not knowing things.}

.............................................................................................................................................................

Miroku:Its...Inuyasha's brother Sesshomaru.

Sango:What do you want?

Sesshomaru:I see Inuyasha not here. I wished to take the sword away from the lowly half-demon brother of mine.

Shippo:Well too bad Inuyasha gone! Maybe even in another time!

Miroku:*Hits Shippo on the head* Good going!

Shippo:Oops I'm sorry it was an accident.It just came out.

Sesshomaru:Another time whats the meaning of this?

Miroku:*Tells him briefly what happened when Inuyasha disappeared*

Sesshomaru: I see ..... I want you to take me there humans,to place you last saw Inuyasha.

Sango:Why should we?

Miroku:Especially helping you with any info would surly make Inuyasha angry.

Sesshomaru: Foolish humans... don't you want see Inuyasha again?

Sango:Huh what do you mean?

Sesshomaru:Let me bring him back.

Shippo:Sounds like a trap.

Miroku:Indeed it does I cannot believe that you now care what happens to Inuyasha.

Sango:Whats in it for you?

Sesshomaru:What is mine the Tetsusaiga.

Miroku:{I see so thats it. }It looks like we have no choice.

Shippo:But....

Miroku:Hard as this to say this we need Sesshomaru's help.

Miroku:Just make one thing clear Sessamuru you cannot take the sword till you bring him back.

Miroku:And then you must fight Inuyasha over it as you always do.

Sesshomaru:Agreed.

Sango:*Under her breath to Miroku* I don't like this.

Miroku:*Whispers back* Nor do I but trust me.

Sesshomaru:Are you done chatting now can we be on our way.{Shessh Humans are so slow. So what kind of trouble are you now in foolish brother?}

Hianta:{I need tell someone...}

Naruto:Time to rest..*Naruto passes out*

Hianta:{Naruto Kun! Then I should tell Sasuke hes in danger.}

Sasuke:{Something isn't right....}

Hianta:*Pulls her self up from the ground*

Sakura:Hianta .... Don't get up the poison..

Hianta: I need to get up I'm just being a bother not helping...

Sakura: A bother..?

Hianta:*Gets up on her feet somewhat staggering*

Kogome:{She still can get up so these are true ninja..}

Hianta:*Cringes as the posion makes here feel worse*

Hianta:{I must do this for Naruto too hes in danger.}*Walks slowly standing straight*

Sasuke:Don't say that ...

Hianta:But you said earlier...

Sasuke:*Whispers* Because I was worried you would get hurt.

Hianta:*Blush*{Worried about me? Sasuke the number 1 rookie who all girls adore but he doesn't give any a time of day.}

Hianta:{I always thought you were cold unlike Naruto Kun who is kind and warm...so why?}

Hianta:Why...?*Tears stream down* Nones worried over me before why?

Sasuke:*Brushs away a hair in her face with his hand*

Sasuke:Because in some way you and I are the same.

Hianta:The poison...the poison...I don't think I can stay awake..

Sakura:*Watches from afar*{Whats going on....Sasuke looks different then I've ever seen him..}

Sakura:{Is it possible...no it can't be Hianta she's shy.And hes never talked to her really before..}

Sasuke:Wait don't pass out yet.

Hianta:{He's right I need stay strong for Naruto ,for everyone for the Hokage.}

*Flash back*

Sasuke:Does she really have to go sensei?

Sasuke:I mean with you and me we got it covered.

Hianta:{Maybe Sasukes right how can I be any help?)*Her eyes water up*

Kakashi:And I know why. Hianta has special gift so she can help us faster.

Sasuke:Hianta I..{I can't say this not yet.I don't think I know really anything about love.}

Sasuke:{Maybe because of what happened to my family is why I can not comprehend it and why I'm so cold.}

Sasuke:{Thats it we will just have to live me and her! Till I can tell her those words but she is special to me.}

Hianta:*Her eyes stare deeply into Sasukes*...

Sasuke:Hianta...I cannot say those words yet till I can find it inside my heart.

Sasuke:But I want to tell you this.I care about you no not just care your my special person.*Blush*

Hianta:My special person...{Am I dreaming ...his special person.}{So could it be all this time?}

Hianta:{That someone like him liked me?}

Sasuke:I know how you feel about Naruto I see it in your eyes and the way you act.

Hianta:{How did he know..is it that plain to see?}

Sasuke:But if you give me time....if you give me time.

Sasuke:I will try to do anything till I can to win your affection.

Hianta:*Tears fall from her cheek* {All my life all my family has said is that I'm worthless so it must be true.}

Sasuke:If you give me a chance. I promise you to protect you with my life and on this mission or anything together never to leave your side.

Sasuke:I promise to make it so you will have to hurt as little as possible.

Sasuke:I promise to prove to you that I better than Naruto.

Sasuke:And if I ever find out what love is I will love you with all my heart.

Hianta:{But If all he says is true then I must not be all that worthless for him to promise such things.}

Sasuke:So whats the answer?Can I have a chance?

Hinata:Yes.

Sasuke:*Yells to everyone* I know all of you herd me.I am serious. This is my vow to her.

Sasuke:I promised to this day forth !If something happens for some reason never let me forget this!

Sakura:{And all ever wanted was just one time for Sasuke to care for me.}

Sakura:{Im such a idiot how could I have not seen Naruto's devotion I just always thought he was there to annoy me.}

Sakura:{But he was always there to help me like today the reason he is so wore out cause he kept taking blows that I should have blocked.}

Naruto:Sakura Kun...*Wipes away some tears from her face* Whats wrong?

Sakura:Naruto..!*Falls forward putting her head on his chest*

Sakura:I always knew he didn't like me but I lived for a chance that he might.

Sakura:And now what is left ? Theres no hope.

Naruto:Your wrong Sakura!

Sakura:I now realize you didn't do it to annoy me but because you...really cared about me.

Sakura:Can you forgive me?

Naruto'sTwinSister :Thank you. Sorry for the long wait.=)

Yasumitaka: Thank you again . Yes I think Sasuke and Hianta make a cute couple too.

SuGaR HiGh MoNkEy:Thanks.Also thanks for telling me I spelled Kogome name wrong I feel so dumb but anyway I fixed it.

{Its done thank you for the wait.}

{Sorry that it took so long from going to see friends,Writers block,and computer problems.}

{I thought I'd Never finish!}

Note:Some charaters were really out of Charter *sigh* but this how I figuire it FanFiction is 10% correct and 90% made up.

Also I dotn know much about Hianta's ability but form what I gather it basically gives her the ability to see long distances.

But if Im wrong sorry ,try to enjoy it through my mistakes.

Also very sorry for keeping Ya'll in LONG suspence this time I promise have the next chapter up faster then this one.

:)
