Chapter 15: Exploration
March 26th
~POV: Sakura~
We got through the night without being attacked, and we woke at dawn ('cept Chouji, who was already up watching). I rubbed my head, groaned a bit, and sat up.
Naruto, who had slept on a pillow-mat (because sleeping bags are unpractical for ninja's) beside me, sat up, looked at me, grinned and exclaimed, "I love waking up next to YOU, Sakura!"
Luckily for him he has on his pillow mat, so when I punched him into the air, he landed back on it. "Hentai!" I muttered.
"What should we do, Sasuke?" I asked meekly, not knowing how to talk to him, unsure of his feelings.
He looked up from the kunai he was examining, examining the three doors I hadn't noted earlier. They (Him and Kiba) had tried them all that morning, a few hours ago... two were unlocked, and the the middle was locked tighter than a a sealing-jutsu. Sasuke, though, with his brilliant mind, csame up with a suggestion that I almost smacked myself on the forehead afterwards, because it was so obvious.
"Cut the hinges," he said, in his usual 'bored' tone.
I felt like the stupidest person in the world. How could I not have figured that out. Then, I realised the others were feeling stupid too.
"I'll help!" Kiba volunteered quickly, and Akamaru barked quietly in agreement. Kiba wasn't alone in volunteering! So that left me, Chouji and Naruto staring at the remaining doors.
We were in a triangle position. Chouji watching the entrance, and me and Naruto was watching the other doors. Which meant we were sitting beside eachother. That would have been fine, except Naruto slid his hand into mine, and held. And Naruto, for being a screwup, has a strong grip, if he needed it.
"This. Is. A. Mission!" I angrily exclaimed through clenched teeth. He knew I couldn't call out, in case of distracting Kiba and Sasuke. Naruto!!!
He smiled coyly. "That means you can't hit me, Sakura -chan" he taunted. He was annoyingly strong, in the hands department. I tried to pull away, but...
"Gotcha now!" he whipered to me to me, then returned his gaze to the door. I decided it wasn't that important, and returned mine to my door as well. Actually, it was quite comfortable, his hand holding mine...
Eventually, they sawed the hinges off with their kunai, and we broke open the door. I gasped.
This room was, apparently, a lounge for the richer folk. Velvet couches, silk carpets, framed jewely hanging on the walls... It was very pretty. Pink was the predominent colour, with snatched of blue and red. Three couches were placed in the middle ofthe room, making a triangle-ish shape. A small table was in the middle, and on it was a glass vase which held small peppermints. The wall, about halfway up, had an indent that ran to the ceiling . On this, there were glass cases showcasing jewelry and vases bearing light, pretty flowers.
Naruto let go of my hand, go up, and sped towards the door. Sasuke grabbed him by the collar. "Baka, don't go running into an open room if your infiltrating an enemy area!" He yanked him down, his head banging on the ground.
"Great job, Sasuke. Smash our team members onto the ground," Kiba rolled his eyes. Sasuke shot him a glare.
"Help up?" Naruto's voice called from the floor. I reached out a hand to pull him out... and pulled too hard? Whatever happened, I had pushed too hard, and we were skidding into the room, headfirst. I, in one of my best moments of my career as a shinobi, wrapped my arms around him to shield him. If there was trouble, we'd need at least ONE useful shinobi ...
My head thudded against a couch, and my head hurt. I jumped up, eyes and ears alert... But nothing happened. After five minutes of standing there, Sasuke and Kiba started yelling, and Chouji was looking at me annoyedly.
I hastily apoligised, and they came in.
Sasuke came in first, eyes rushing around, searching for traps. Kiba walked in cautiously, in Sasuke's steps. Chouji came in last, walking in quickly, not wanting to be left behind, but watching the other room carefully.
"Umm... Naruto's sorta... knocked out..." I said, feeling embarrased as I leant down to check his pulse.
~~~~~~~
A few hours later, Naruto had awakened and we'd sniffed (For Akamaru, literally) around for dangers, and were now sitting doown and thinking. I had a distinct feeling that there was something of immense importance in that room...
Aha! I snapped my fingers. "Guys, the cases! There might be something in them!" I exclaimed. Naruto shot me a look.
"Great idea, Sakura-chan!" he called out, then reached over to a glass case and pulled the cover off. He lifted the earrings that were in it...
"Nothing here!" he yelled over. But the idea was out, and everyone started looking for things of importance. That is, until Kiba's hand bumped a glass vase too forcefully, and knocked it off the shelf.
CRASH! The shattered vase's pieces flew across the room. I covered my face with my hands, Sasuke jumped backwards... From what I heard (because he was behind me) Naruto slipped on a rug and bashed his head on a wall, And Chouji was untouched, even though he didn't avoid it.
Kiba himself got a large cut on his leg, but he was smiling. "I found it!" I walked over to see....
There was a star shaped indentation under where the vase had been...

And so endeth chp. 15! Sorry for the long wait, and the crappy chp... I had a major writer's block and spurt of writing other things. AWWY has a new chp., and a new Inuyasha fic is started, because of that...
Here's the recent votes!

Sakura +...
Naruto: 7 (6)
Sasuke: 5 (3)
Takeru: 1 (0)
Kakashi 2 (2)
Lee: 1 (1)
Hinata +...
Naruto 1 (1)
Just so you know, recent SasuSaku-ishness doesn't mean SasuSaku pairing, that's just the way the chars are ending up... I just write it down, they do what they do...
Ummm.... I was wondering if any of you are good artists? I looked at this site and it had this awesome thing for pics that people sent her, and she told me she asked, so... Please? I don't need them, but... I thought it would be cool. And when I learn HTML and get a website, I'll put them up there! And if you have a place to host them, I can put the links here and on a (crappy) website...
Thanks for waiting! Sorry for lateness (writer's block)...
