Scene 11: Hautning Ghosts

Naruto grabbed his boxers and put them on while Sakura took the thin white blanket and wrapped it around her to have some means of clothes on. The both of them dashed across the halls looking for where the shriek had come from. All the other people in the hotel were standing outside and looking out their doors.

As soon as they got there they saw Ino and Shikamaru there. Ino was on the floor kneeling over while Shikamaru held a bag for her as she threw up. Naruto looked at Shikamaru in fear, "W-w-what's wrong?"

"It disgusting in there," Shikamaru said with a dead serious look on his face, "Ino couldn't stand it so we had to get out. I suggest you leave Sakura here."

"No, she's my partner on this mission, If she wants to come in then she can come," he said looking at her to see if she wanted to come in.

Sakura gulped and then nodded her head. She wrapped her arms around Naruto so that if anything were to happen she knew he was there for her. Fear had never welled up in her so much, after seeing Ino-chan like that she was afraid of what she was about to see.

They walked in slowly opening the door carefully and then stepped inside. Just as they got inside Sakura screamed and hid her face inside Naruto's chest.

"My god!!!" said Naruto, "Who could do something this horrible?" he looked around the room.

There was blood everywhere, the girl's body was hung where the fan was and one of her breast was decapitated and thrown. Her face showed horror and so did the guy's face. His body was on the bed and his limbs were all cut off and scatter across the room as well as the female's. The male's reproductive part was cut off and stuck into the girl's mouth.

On the wall there was a message written in blood "Anyone Can be Next Tomorrow Especially Konoha's Ninjas". From the look of the whole scene one man could have not possibly done this. There were actually two killers that were working together, but of course their job was a clean one because no evidence was left at all.

After studying the gruesome scene Naruto walked out and talked to Shikamaru for awhile with Sakura still trembling in his arms. "Looks like there are two killers Shikamaru," he said, "Will you help us on our mission? We need back-up right now and sending someone from our village now may be too late for even us."

"Yeah I will," he said looking at Ino who had collapsed from exhaustion of vomiting, "Why don't you and Sakura go to bed first? Ino and I will keep watch through the night."

"No, you and Ino are back up, plus Ino is already knocked out so why don't you and Ino go to sleep for tonight and we'll sleep when this mission is finally over," he suggested, "This is Sakura's and my mission so we need to talk about it now and tomorrow all of us will come up with a plan of attack."

"That does sound better," he said picking up Ino and said good luck to them then headed back to his room, "Oh by the way we should keep that door in between us open just in case something does happen again tonight."

Naruto agreed and they went back to their rooms as well leaving the bodies clean up mess to the ninjas of this village that were coming in. As soon as they got back to the room Sakura made some coffee she had brought along and they sat down at the table near the window to talk.

He sat down and sighed as he ruffled his hair and then Sakura placed down the coffee for him, "Here, you'll need it."

"Thanks," he said taking the coffee and started slowly drinking from it. "Are you ok? After what you saw I'm surprised you didn't go into a shock like Ino did."

"I guess that when you're near I know everything is going to be ok," she said drinking out of her coffee and watched the rain slide down the window. "So what do we do now?"

"Watch and wait for the killers. Then when Shikamaru and Ino wake up we come up with a plan for tomorrow night to capture the killer and interrogate him," Naruto said looking at his warm coffee now.

There was a long silence between them as they both watched the thunder and the rain relax their nerves. Naruto was really frustrated by this time, he was ruffling his hair constantly and sighing trying to think of a good start for the plan.

Suddenly he felt a small hand on his and he jumped. It was Sakura smiling at him, "Relax, I know we'll come up with something."

"We've already made a mistake on the mission by letting those two die," he sad remember back to the room he was just in.

"Don't worry, I know in the end everything will turn out fine. I promise. You always come up with something, so don't stress yourself about it right now," she said comforting him with her words.

"Thanks," he said sighing again.

"Naruto," she said breaking the silence between them again, "I don't want to put pressure on you or anything, but do you have an idea as to who you might choose at the end of all this?"

He looked up at her, "No, I don't know. I mean I love you too Sakura, but I'm not even entirely sure that this is real anymore."

"What do you mean real?" she said sadly.

"I don't know how to explain it, but it seems like everything is changing around me. Come to think of that one time you asked me out on a date and it was to use me to find out about Sasuke. I still have a little bit of anger hung on that one there," he said.

"We'll take it step by step. I won't hurt you ever again! Just as long as you don't hurt me like Sasuke did," she said thinking about Sasuke's selfishness, "What do you want from me though?"

"Isn't that something you have to figure out for yourself?" he asked her.

"You're right," she said sighing.

They remained silent for the rest of the night until the sun rose over the horizons and it was time for breakfast. "Are you hungry?" Sakura asked.

"Huh?" Naruto said completely tired of an entire all nighter, "Breakfast? Yeah sure."

"I'll go downstairs and but something for us okay?" she said getting out of her sleeping clothes and into her full outfit.

About an hour later she returned with the meal and set it down in front of him and got it all nice and ready for him to eat, "Thanks," he said as he ate the plate slowly with lack of energy.

In the next room the one where Ino and Shikamaru were just getting up because they could hear the Ino's whimpers calling Shikamaru back to the bed, but he had gone to get breakfast for them as well.

Finally all four were dressed and full. Ino and Shikamaru came in to Naruto and Sakura's room and sat down at the table to discuss their plan.

"Does anyone have any ideas?" asked Ino.

"Well first we need bait," Shikamaru said.

"Since this is our mission we'll be the bait," said Naruto, "All we need is how to capture him tonight, a full proof plan that will capture them both within a minute or so. We heard the screams within a few seconds and by the time we got there they were already dead. These guys are extremely fast."

"Well it's easy then. Since we're doing this at night it is a good time to use my shadows to bind them. If it's dark my shadow techniques is everywhere. Now that Ino can knock souls out of bodies without having to leave her body it'll be simple to capture them once their souls have left. After a few minutes their souls will have to return to the body."

"Then what do Naruto and I do? Just sit on the bed and look pretty for the show?" asked Sakura.

"No," said Naruto, "once they get inside we have to make sure that we get a hold of them so that Ino can perform her direct soul knockout."

"Then it's all set right? For tonight?" asked Ino.

"Yes, Ino you and I will hide in the other room behind the doors," said Shikamaru.

"Now we have the mission taken care of we need to prepare ourselves for tonight," said Sakura, "Around 10:00 PM tonight we'll give the signal to be ready."

They all nodded in agreement and left to do what they had to do for the day.

Kairi: So will their quick five minute plan work?
