SasuSaku
Author's notes: Gomen ne if I took that long to update… well, particularly, because it had something to do with the exams I'm taking. I'm just so glad that it was over XD I intended this chapter to be the longest because I intended it to be the center of the story… Hmmn, and I decided to play with the words I'm using, because it is nice. And please do not sue me… T.T if ya look into my profile - I'm still a lil kid going to school XD – sorta. Oh… and also I decided to change the title – because the plot changed somehow and I'm determined to make this a 9-chappie story –at the least – working on the outline just now.
Peradis – I like your story VERY much, and I'm sorry if I troubled you that much XD, well I'll try my best then! Thanks for reviewing
Scream
Chapter 5
At the heed of the gun's ending vitality
In terror consumed by shadows final wrath
In a crying crayon called life
Searching for answers…
"Anyone – do you read me?"Beep
"Hello – this is Nara Shikamaru is anyone-"
Beep"No one's responding. Damn!" He hissed uncomfortably as he crashed the useless headphone – obviously, there was hindrance playing soundly behind their back. Everyone should've figured this out by now.
'Searching for answers'He looked down disconsolately and started aggressing, muttering something about how troublesome everything is. With his keen reaction, he slipped pass the barrage of throwing needles sent towards him and grabbed a dozen for his own. A smirk in his buoyancy appeared as he dashed forward throwing them back towards 4 aggressors. Despite the numbers, he could clearly analyze that most of them are spares, which means they can effortlessly be overpowered.
But… there's always a possibility…He shook his head in confusion, sweat trimmed down his face as he tried to make up for a plan. The first thing he needed to do was to estimate the tactic of the enemy, all the while locating the exact spots where his associates could be fighting and contact them. The second thing was to have another plan on how to defeat or rather, if bad becomes worse and worse becomes worst – escape them.
Shoot. If this keeps going, I'll run out of stamina.Yes, the Nara Shikamaru was distressed. Although splendidly virtuoso at his own right, the Nara Shikamaru is being under pressure – He sighed once more, dissatisfied of the events especially with the deafening surrounding along with the ear piercing screams.
This would be his longest night.
A ghastly smile tempted to escape her lips as she saw the scene of spectators view play theatrically right in front of her eyes. Eyes dimmed in moonlight's shadow flawlessly closed and opened in rhythm being awed by the sonata of the air. Her hand twisted delicately as she tried to participate with one kill as melancholic eyes drifted off a daze searching for answers.
'Held back'
This what I have to do right? I've done nothing-wrong… right?
Chapped lips lustfully tasted the aromatic scent within of some vista being mocked genuinely by her favorite characters… ironically though… she was one of them… She was just there to complete the story yet she wasn't needed by them. Obviously upset, she lay down a trickle of red visible under the domed moon and tasted the bittersweet defeat. Her translucent eyes gazed down the view, and left no mere trace of existence bar from a lone strand of hair.
Her hands lay limp to her both sides as she gave way to his intentions, searing tears flowing down her cheeks soaking his clothes wet.
She felt cold as ice.
She was left there speechless for there was no more room to speak for… She can't speak… no one was there to hear except him… He was after all… a prodigy. He knew the plot a lot better than her - well enough to say that she's also a spy.
Why are you doing this… it's… it's not like-Her thoughts stopped as he captured her lips mildly. Eyeing her for a split second, his right hand began caressing her face while his left tightened them into a heated embrace. He laid his head rested on her shoulder and whispered soft words near her ear that sent chills at her spine.
'Time stood still'"Why… are you hesitating?"
"I… don't know"
Kiss.
"Why are you doing this?" she said in a soft yet serious voice, anxious to hear what he has to say.
"You didn't answer my question. Answer my question first, before I answer yours." He rapped both his arms around her and planted soft kisses at her back. Red eyes with three tadpole swirls appeared lazily as she faced him.
"You're mine as I am yours, remember?"
Kiss.
…seconds later… a scream reverberated the room. A thought passed a place in remorse and regret…
Was it worth it?
Eyes opened in alarm.
"What's that?" He asked to no one in particular… He knew the voice. It was awfully too familiar… infamous white eyes immediately activated their hidden power and scanned the area. A small trickle of sweat pressed down his neck, an unfamiliar scene tickled his senses as he scanned the area.
Something is not right in here…
'Waiting for the kill'He evaded the attack from behind and swiftly passed his aggressor and sent a mere flick of the wrist towards her neck. The prodigy swiftly sent her to hell. The "harichakra" is a Ninjutsu technique requiring a ninja to be able to use Jyuken. The ninja creates small needles from the tenketsu upon their fingers that are able to slice through things made of chakra, which normally could not be broken, therefore a formidable weapon and he can use it.
Shrewd serenity yet trepidation on dagger's heave
He tumbled backwards avoiding another set of shuriken – apparently, he was really outnumbered, but he can resolve that predicament. Judging from his position, the ratio is 1:16, and their distance was at 2 or 3 meter's length some of them are fast approaching – there's only one solution – those closest will suffer.
"Kaiten!"
"Why… why are you doing this?" She struggled to keep herself in balance as she grabbed the hem of his attire. "Answer me…" tears caked her falling form. She cried endlessly and felt herself in deep remorse… Eyes once jade turned in reddish hue, mixed emotions…
Was it worth it?
"I want to – that's reason enough." He looked at her piteously as he captured her lips one last time.
I hate you…After some while, her eyes blurred with tears, getting soaked with red, her breath turned cold… Feeling her soul being lifted and eaten away by time. Pink locks threatened be tainted by blood.
'In terror consumed by the shadows'"Why…" Finally… after the long wait… she collapsed… blood evidently dripping from both hands…
He embraced her deeply, all the same dejectedly, and sighed as his prediction for this moment had finally come true.
"Gomen ne… hime-sama."
"Hokage-sama… what are you going to do with this?" Kakashi inquired quietly as he activated his sharingan and began studying the dire situation unfolding beneath him in length's view. A lazy arm scratched its head waiting for the necessary reply.
"Let me think." A hand brought behind her, successfully knocking off another adversary. Her eyes skimmed the contents studiously as she ordered for another glass of wine. The said hand brought its force down towards the table where she was currently examining… absent-mindedly demolishing it on the process.
First, where the hell is Shikamaru when I need him? Second, there are two options for us… logical for leaf to escape – since we don't know the full capabilities of the said aggressors, hardly any Ninjutsu technique was used… 'Yet'- but to make sure, we have to remain hidden. As simple as it sounds, we underestimated them. Therefore, the fall was ours.
She sighed while looking towards Kakashi, who was unavailable because he was engaged in battle. She sighed again, unable to do anything at the moment.
'To cower in fear'If I don't think fast… - or for the illogical - we could also fight them and see our chances… TOO risky. Lets escape… Only problem is: how? There are necessary measures that's needed. One, we have to gather all of them which eventually would require time. Two, a plan of definite get-away – including the diversion… If I remember it right, there are at least 30 of us here… how am I going to do this! Some piece of fucking shit to dump on my damned workload!
"Arghhhh!"
Tsunade sighed for the twentieth time of the day, seeing how impractical things are going to be – if matters get worse, she would have to force herself to resort the sheer black and white – if they can't come with them, they won't come… and most probably die. At least she tried her optimistic side for once… That most of them would come to their senses and immediately respond to their call.
"Finished thinking." Her eyes carefully shown translucent determination as she gathered her voice calm enough to order all of them there.
Gai, who was busy fighting them stopped momentarily along other side of his companions, along with this was Kurenai who was using genjutsu in distracting her opponents and team side with her was Asuma – Anko slightly making some fuss with her summoned snakes – turned to her direction all the while maintaining a steady defense.
'Still looking for definite answers'
"Hold them as long as you can, if any of them show signs of using higher jutsus… this will only mean the start of the battle… I have a bad feeling that not all of them are participating just yet. But in any case, we will fight them – though if the situation gets worse, we'll resort to escape tactics… Do not underestimate them." She smiled a bit and held her face and willed into an impenetrable determined fighting combatant. "We'll do this, everyone is only to act upon the command of their superior. Always keep on focus; we'll make it through this alive. Trust me."
With this done, she participated freely into the battle.
Sorry brother… but I guess, I have to be involved this time, I can't always hide and heal… I have to participate myself…
"Ahh… Sakura-chan… doko? Kare wa doko ni amasu ka?" Naruto sighed as he beat up his thirty-second opponent. His eyes shown immediate worry, as he felt uneasy with the surroundings… That voice seemed vaguely familiar… and… I just hope she's fine… she's capable enough to fall into any traps but she's-
Clap. Clap. Clap.
'Fear'
A mocking aura filled the space whilst a satanic smirk hazed off the crimson moon's attraction towards it. Slight tints of pink illuminated the figure's head making it temporarily undistinguishable, a laugh managed to come out of its mouth… And show itself from the shadows…
"Good evening, Naruto-kun"
Crap.
"Katon: Goukak-"
"Kagemane no jutsu!" A silhouette reached his target immediately immobilizing him. When unexpectedly, the catch renders unconscious.
"Hi!" a squeaky over-cheerful voice said… no doubt.
"Hello."
A slight exclamation point presented itself above the other's head.
Stare.
"Hey, lighten up a bit, it's a good thing that I found you… you could do nothing without me!"
Stare.
"Stop that… you're freaky."
Blink.
Sigh.
"There's more coming, I think we better find the others too."
"Sure, count me in!"
Have to be more careful… dark eyes suddenly filled themselves with homicidal desires - a murderous lexis of some sort telling him to kill his only companion yet all the same – he was content that she was able to find him as he can't find her. His ears perked up as he found something unusual asides from the loud-mouthed blond…
'is my weakness'
"Ino, would you keep it down… you'll give away our position-"
Tick. Tick.
Twitch.
Running footsteps barely audible to hear were evenly distributed at all areas…
"Shoot… Ino… quiet" Shikamaru eyed her seriously… something was definitely wrong.
They found us… How troublesome
"Yokusei fuuin finished" A seemingly innocent smile tugged at his lips as he saw his work be completed. He left her there and went off to meet his companions should it be called that way – which was comparable to a hawk meeting a wolf – both capable of killing each other but only one remains.'I found you'
"I hope we meet again, it would be a waste of time if you die during this process" He adjusted his glasses and vanished in thin air leaving no trace at all… no scent… nothing, except her.
"Stop calling me that… you're not… you don't deserve to" Azure eyes managed to widen itself as large as dinner plates seeing how things were at its oddities.
He laughed as he shoved one hand to clutch his forehead and the other held out towards the other's figure.
"Naruto-kun, is this my greeting from you? How sickening is our relationship, I thought we were friends?"
Silhouetted in the darkness, the shadowed figure illuminated by the blood-berry moon looked down defeated, hands were brought limp to both sides…
"You don't deserve a greeting, we don't have any relationship, we are not friends, and most importantly don't call me that way!" The famous finger-pointing attitude was brought to the surface bringing out the deep memories and stirring old feelings within them both. The intruder laughed… a dark look crossed his face.
"Funny, little Naruto-kun has a bad temper, you very well know that I do deserve it" A scowl obvious yet a taunting smile played his features as he soon pulled his ace out aiming for the lead. "Look at this" He said, uncovering blossom colored locks lying neatly at his hand, sprayed with a tint of crimson-red due to some blood…
"What did you do with her?" He began to hiss venomously, as his hands began twitching at the level of restraint he's causing himself to handle. Eyes reared from blue to red as uncontrollable amounts of chakra started clouding his form.
'In a crying crayon called life'"Tell me" Helios demanded over Yami… slight dementation present over the use of what they call desire…
The prince of chaste seemed to dwell with vengeance, therefore making him the prince of tainted – being influenced by the devil himself. It was marked by the merciless taints of blood all over his clothing.
"Nothing. Actually… I just played with her," His voice – a little bit too sweet - played dramatically almost making him sound officially sexy. He smirked as he let the strands fall weakly down towards the ground, some of which was blown towards his friend's clothes. A slight twitch of facial expression was seen as the eye suddenly fell on its melancholic gaze to see when was it going to reach the ground in seconds view… He admired the beauty of the crestfallen.
"What is it to you? Are you really that worried?" He asked to someone not so importantly and began approaching his form before he could silently muster anything concerning something.
What are you planning… idiot…Before long he could reply, he managed to capture his lips and taste his flavor somehow, immediately pulling back.
"You taste like ramen, she tastes like-" A devilish smile escaped his face with the thought together with the reaction of his former teammate.
"Sorry Naruto-kun, but I have to finish you quickly before you do hinder any of our plans, bye then-"
Apparently frozen from what had happened a while ago, Naruto can't barely register the events and was not fast enough to see the next one coming.
A kiss played once more, now with venom – "Sasuke Uchiha… you're… annoy-"
"Don't speak… it'll fasten the process of spreading."
Eyes widened from shock as an irritating pain entered his throat, very much agonizing that he can barely breathe and hear what he was saying, let alone see him clearly.
'I found you'"I know, but you are more than me, letting your emotions hinder you – you're really just too young to die, I'm sparring your life Naruto, thank me and I'll let you live" With that, poison definitely dripping from his mouth entered his body, making him grow limp. Asides from that, a kick was sent through his gut, as he lay there lifeless together with dismantled bodies with the stinging scent of blood and dirt. It was definitely the best place for him to fall unconscious.
"Damn… you" he choked as his head succumbed to the drifting sleep.
I can't let you die like this Naruto, I just can't, this can kill you… but it takes time – by then, you should've been brought to life by someone I know… bye then-
Three soft clinks of metal echoed through the air.
"Long time no see Nara – I expected more from you, but I guess you were hindered by this insignificant bitch right by your side right?"
In the nick of time – He was able to answer his doubts… "Yes, Kin. And leave her out of this."
"Oh, so now you're telling me what to do, and do you seriously think I'm going to do that?" She moved forwards – advancing yet careful enough to not be caught by the shadow once more.
"No, yet I expect you to listen-" That pushed the wrong button… "How foolish! – Kugutsu no Jutsu!" His eyes widened in shock as he studied how wrong things here were.
'I want you to see me'At the back of his head, he could realize her target, her object of annoyance – "Ino! Watch out!"
He knew that the strings were powerful enough to crush such entities that it's obviously in clairvoyance that things would be at its worst.
Yes… she screamed in pain as the chakra enforced threads threatened to cut and tear her to pieces. Doing what was of the obvious, he decided to face them and finally meet the odds. He knew he was going to die, so die fighting - While she was dying there bleeding for life.
"Shika… ahh! Help… me!"
Gathering all his chakra, he began doing one of his most difficult exercises… his shadow split into twelve as each of them trapped suited persons he desired.
Carpe diemImmediately out of his loathed boredom – a wild grin plastered itself firmly in place. I just hope this helps-
On the background, Kin pursued torturing her object of grief. A thought passed her homicidal intellect as her psyche began registering the fact that she was obviously an elite being-in a way. Normally, being a jounin, you are forced to leave when all odds seemed at calamities… How foolish…I never knew the Nara could be as foolish as this… I'll show him a lesson that he'll never forget.
She was surprised for the fact that she was not crying – in fact she was looking determined and livid… and beautiful she must say – a lot too much vanity present at her features. It ticked a bomb inside of her – she never had time to – perhaps she never wanted it herself, her consciousness implied – I was never allowed to. A paradox she's been fighting for years, definitely, she's a woman but she considered herself a man in many aspects. Was that considered bi-sexual? She shrugged the thought and concentrated on what was happening right now.
"In exactly three minutes, your partner here dies – and you can't possibly do anything about it in your state." She approached her obviously tightening the clutches of the said thread skillfully grabbing her by the hair. Scowl evident as she slapped her – making her experience a nightmare of bona fide.
How are you going to save her? I don't think so… She'll never be saved, because she's mine to kill… and I'm enjoying it… She whispered words inaudible to everyone but her that made the said 'damsel in distress' look far more amusing than before – much to her likeness. Tears stained her cheeks as she helplessly tried to squirm off the grasp – delicate fingers were held tightly together were starting to bleed because of the pressure being applied.
How tragic-
"Chiyute no jutsu!" Skillful hands trained and unique motioned to heal slight injuries and provide chakra enough to mobilize the group. "Someone – tell me how long we've been here." The fifth said executing another task of remedial – The screams were still present in the area and only a few guest lived up to now… But she definitely needed to know the time.
"From our arrival – it's been almost 6 hours" Answered Kurenai, who was still busy tending the injuries of her own while fighting off the remaining enemies. Blood covered half of her face mixed up with pieces of dirt and sweat. It was cold only a while ago, but fatigue was simply too much to handle.
'Without my mask'
"Be on your guard."
She graciously nodded before vanishing in thin air. Her mission – to gather as much of them as she can.
After frozen seconds, time began to waver. Eyes of hawk searched for prey to catch.
Nothing happened.
This isn't good… something feels disturbingly… odd…Kurenai looked surprised as one managed to get past beyond the barrier she put around her and slash her thigh. The unusual nin smirked at her and executed some sort of jutsu a bit familiar to her.
"Togemyomi" Hair immediately unveiled – revealing fresh silver hair long enough to reach the figure's toes – generously hardened itself to form some sort of blade. She looked towards her with a slightly shocked expression and somersaulted some good twenty feet away from the intruder.
It's unusual to use such a technique nowadays… I could- A shadow moved past her interrupting her train of thoughts…
"In battle, you have to be more concentrated Kurenai" She knew it by the sound of it… "Asuma? no your-"
Too late though. By that same moment, he was able to damage the hem of her upper clothing, revealing something of interest. Obviously disappointed, the figure dismissed her by kicking her side, which led to a big collision with the wall, downcast at the need for the worthy, he vanished leaving only a haunting sound of edict.
"Tsk. Tsk. this is no fun – Rei, finish her."
The superior calmly ordered his subordinate, aiming for a stronger catch.
Rei, the woman whom which was ordered smirked a bit cockily thinking that everything was going on right in track. She was caught startled when a kunai was pin-pointedly thrown towards her – deflected by a mere millimeter hit near the face.
"I know you can see through genjutsu but after you go through this," she smiled evilly "Let me see you smirk that way again" Ending the stance followed by extremely complex seals. To be humiliated that way was a big deal for her. Normally, her emotions were locked from everything that was known to live – but to be underestimated and brought down that way was far too much.
"Tenno ikari!" With the last seal finished, Kurenai felt chakra pull away from her, hard enough to let her kneel. She watched her work be completed as she saw Rei's head fall and her hair return to its original shape.
'spare me'
10.
9.
8.
Thumps of the heartbeat grew faster as a scream started to curl down from the captive's vocal chords
7.
"Make it stop! Make it stop!" A smile flecked itself as she saw the after effects of the act.
6.
Feet impatiently sprinted to play the angel of death.
5.
Tears started flowing down as hands began clutching what seemed of was the silky lining of hair.
4.
Double-headed kunai on hand ready to strike the small petty bird trapped in her own coil within her field of mercy like that of the serpent's fangs
3.
"Say your last wishes" Red eyes rimmed down wide eyed lavender orbs tear stained and…
Pity
2.
is that what I look like when I die?
Smirk.
1.
Silence.
Scream.
Suddenly… she found herself running to someone she most likely wanted to protect. Blond met auburn, azure met russet and there was harmony…Can you hear me?
It happened all too fast for him to bare, suddenly, three minutes were up, and he only managed to beat a dozen, leaving 6 of them, save Kin, standing. Unfortunately, they were careful and fast enough to have been caught in the shadows. Eyes threatened to free lone feelings as it raced forward to see what his beloved-
"Baka"
'your love'
silence… it stood murderously as the last smile vulnerably began to ebb…
"Stop it… no… don't do this to me… no… no… no… you can't die… why does it have to be you? To be you… Ino… tell me you're just sleeping… no… tell me… tell me!"
Slightly parted lips moved forward to tell him something, but failed miserably, as a cough suddenly found it even possible to escape her lips. She was now kin to a human cactus, but hers was not composed of merely needles, it was composed of all other things… Her clothing barely able to hold on the brute force was almost eradicated leaving slightly torn in pieces as her main cover, her vanity greatly taken into no avail.
And then there she went, color drained from her face dramatically as she tried to desperately stay conscious. She hesitated a bit but if she was dying…
I love youShe used the last strand of her strength to make him face him… to wipe the tears away… As she mouthed words that she knew he could well understand… At least abide her last requests, she'll die without regret… He bent down as he grabbed her weak form and embraced it while sitting down. Kissing her, making her feel warm… telling her that she'll live, when obviously she won't.
The flower died.
"I love you." he managed to voice out… a smile suddenly found itself traced at her lips.
Her breathing stopped.
Eyes closed.
She's dead.
She's… dead… Dead…and not alive…He albeit that much of gifted could do the ridiculous, which was two antonyms found in the dictionary. Eyes trailed themselves filled with liquid could do nothing but watch as the now dead body fall towards the ground without much of impediment. It silently wished of something more like the impossible to lift it up and say that "I'm alright… don't worry about me" As impossible as cows can't jump over the moon, he wished it be.
Dead and not alive… she died…Heck, that was merely the first time he cried, because crying was a bit too troublesome for him as a child… He had no excuse that it was raining what so ever - but if it was raining, then it would be his tears, mother nature right in tone with his feelings.
Kin watched in amusement as she saw the events unfold very clearly in front of her very own eyes. All she could think was "bravo" but she kept her mouth shut and waited for the harsh reply. She expected that he won't go psycho after what she did. That was enough for the day she thought…
But, it's still not fair, I still didn't get to kill her… she killed herself though, trying to save you – and provided some sort of entertainment with me. Enough for this day… but VERY foolish, I expected Nara Shikamaru to be strong… to be wise, not weak… not stupid, foolish… not like this… VERY FOOLISH!
Hands clutched both sides, as she was tempted to slap the lad, the foolish lad in front of her. All she could do was pity.
"Nara Shikamaru… until we meet again." in slight guilt, she vanished in thin air
Was it worth it?
A certain persona chuckled as she uncovered the secrets beyond the background. The consequences lay in front of her but to turn back was irrational. She was given the choice in the first place, with the cost of her life. But then it clicked, once she had herself found out, is it not evident that departure is a necessity? Innocent ivory eyes gazed upon the sated moon, named after Enyo herself… disaster always happens.
An unwavering chuckle filled the empty vestibule, as golden eyes shown with delight. A smile placed magnificently over his features making him look demonically obsessed more than ever.
'Searching the answers'
"Why did you do it? You're a dove, why side with us? The crows." He waited patiently waiting for her answer, bemused at the fact that she actually does her part of the bargain.
"We're not animals" Through gritted teeth and disheartened soul, she managed to say. Coolness of voice settled assertively as she tried to alter the subject matter, but the crow seemed persuasive.
"That's not what I meant," It hissed while leisurely approaching the petrified soul of the ashen dove.
"Don't come" It managed to express itself, dark violet locks swung round the face as hand came in contact towards the face. Her mocking displeasure obviously seen.
"Then tell me, why did you do it?"
Silence.
Hands perturbed slowly danced to reach the frozen railings…
Why did I?"I can't break a promise, it was entertaining though too." A dark smirk followed soon after. Hesitating whether to be or not to be was hard. She felt her heart twinge with a pang of tortured guilt.
"Why did you let me live?" Her skin paled contrasting to the dark sated moon, exuberance out of leisure seemed a bit fit yet odd for her tastes, odd enough that signed a contract in the first place, and even odd forging out a sin which was perfidy, should it be called that way – then if it was a deadly sin, she should be dead by now. In contrast to what reality tells, the sin is need and it is vice-versa.
A snicker responded in resonance, followed by a swift change in temperature - a colossal drop that threatened to turn her into ice if she never heeds. Long slender fingers reached for what was called in a poet's term "astute serenity yet trepidation on dagger's heave" yet in layman's term "A weapon"
Before long the battle started, there was a determined winner, and the utter silence broke the tensed aura, losing was not even part of the plan… It was early as a matter-of-factly stated as she drew back the curved blade into its own domicile.
"Why do you even ask?" Partly temperamental at the modern, she chose to ebb into his clutches yet comply all the same.
Pity…"It is my right" A slight smile escaped her long flourished lips, now drawn back with curve in ease, a frown. Living was a sacrifice yet death was an easy escape, lies definitely guilt one's heart but if that some one gets used to it, then the plot was easy to execute – no doubts, worries and guilt.
No feelingsSoft feminine eyes of ivory dazed back into the sated moon, how she wished she were Luna for once.
"Simple… to use you" With that, a frown feared to break itself lose but was held back firmly. Eyes closed slowly, digesting the information quite clearly.
"Is that so? I'm right then."
Just a device like before… a mere toy that's being toyed with… how pitiful… how sad…
But I won't cry…She nodded her head in approval, the battle has begun, and she wants to live it through, no matter how hard it seems to be. The eyes of ivory tainted in black glimmered in response, trying to struggle and get free from the sinister grasp.
I've made a pact with the devil.
'it was you'
Irritated, he finally paused for hiatus –Where are you?
He managed to eliminate everyone in his way except from one person, he knew the man from before…
The spy…"Kabuto"
Smile.
"Tell me, where is she?" Definitely getting annoyed about how many times he used that hole called mouth.
'consumed with my wrath'
"Who's she?" His hand reached for a kunai when he saw his companion fill hands with charged chakra. He faced him, glasses reflected by the rays of the said moon.
"Sakura" He didn't admit it, but saying her name made some things change in realism. Veins started protruding the prodigy's eyes, making him look fiercer… Finding the source of all the oddities, then and there he knew, he was creating an atmosphere, with the hazy dust having chakra all around them…
Seconds later, he noticed the after effect, hands were getting numb, but it was fairly possible for him to fight, but win in 50-50 rate.
Kabuto smiled once again, maniacally this time…
"You can have her, I think Sasuke-kun saved her from her destined death, tsk, she's right there if you haven't noticed, oh yes, you can't notice, because there's a strong chakra disturbance around here, no one's causing it, except the people itself, all of the slaughtered souls inside this edifice… I guess I'm giving you so much information that's practically not very useful right?"
A hand protruded to scratch the back of its head and a slight change in facial expressions, involving the eyes, the once red rimmed was now back to white and black.
Before he could even register the fact that he disappeared, he rushed in course of the direction… Cool and aloof as his actions told him be.
"The lions retreated and dragons appeared" Godaime finally decided…
Concentrating, she finally let a low irritated growl, impulsive as she is, she pursued whatever she was planning to do – when she does that, she'll attract attention – enough to capture everyone of them…
Including those wretched fools I guess…"Okay, everyone, do sequence C as I told you – after that, everyone has to escape"
'can you hear me?'
She received nods from both of them…
I should've done this a while ago… just had to test them… I guess…
How troublesome
'my breathing valediction'

Author's note:
Take note – VERY LONG NOTE – Read if interested in author's dramatic blabbers – contains some things you might want to know about
You know, the funny thing is, today, I feel like talking. Well, after reading half of the part, it still feels not enough it's because it's not complete yet idiot!!! – I just needed to talk to someone recently that's why – so I decided to you know, put some crap of my testimony here V.V and I am terribly sleepy. -.- Before, I'd stay up as late as 4:00 am or never sleep at all just to finish a chapter – without even proofreading it – and passing it in a very terrible state – I'm done with that too… I wanted to well – do something from now on – which was to begin to value the quality of writing. I was inspired by a lot of people that I all admire because of their talents in their own right. Sigh. Well now I'm having fun. – Did you ever have that "author's block" thing in your life? Well, it happens to me a lot of times… :sigh: but that's okay, at least I get to update this, not like those that I've completely abandoned. Hmmn, asides from that, I've also got another thing coming – I always find trouble in starting the fic, because I dunno how to start it, and I seem to think that writing it would become a lot too troublesome 'argh'. but hey – I think this is the longest chapter :sigh: and it took me 3 days to finish it – this is day 2 – 10:26pm eureka! I cAn predict the future – Okay, as promised… here are some side comments on what I did with the characters… Scream didn't actually mean someone was screaming – it meant something of a calling – or rather it wants you to scream – when used as a verb complicated explanation? Nahhh… And do you think I made some characters go a little bit OOC – well, some people needs to loosen up a bit – and would you try to imagine how "years" could bring people to change? Hmmn, I'm not trying to bail myself out – just reason out what was logical – I try my best to stick them to character… and bend some slightly… I'm sorry if others are offended with slight narusasu – that's just a small yaoi there… O.O I never thought of writing one… For my age, my head is really corrupted because of reading too many fics… Back to the point – I used some new words there that you might want to know about, but promise – I'll make them appear next chapter… XD – there done O.O you read them? Oh my god, people do really love me nowadays… Thankya!
Now, I just finished it, by 7:05 – day 3 which was amusing XD that it's exactly 5 132 words – my longest for all the chappies I made… Well, the inspiration came from a lot of people lately… here's Peradis, understar, XyoushaX, Ayane Selznick, Naydell – and all of those who reviewed the last chappies. They all do their best to be the best they can… sigh. I guess I should do the same. The outline was supposed to go on, but 16 events happening in one chappie was hard to interpret sigh. Now, it turned into Breathing Valediction – you'll see soon, or maybe wait for a moment what's so special n' that title – but "Sorry" would still remain, except for one chapter though… Argh, I'm getting over enthusiastic again, that hardly comes for once in a lifetime – please consider the last 3 days special… I think… Anyways, Good day to all of yah!
Ma-chan!
