Orange Day

:This means a flashback is occurring:

Sasuke looked down to see the 4ft 9 inch blond gnome standing in front of him, next to him stood Sakura, she had a worried look on her face, and her hands were pressed to her mouth, nervousness had taken it's toll on her. Naruto was standing dumbly at her side, probably the only chance he'd ever get to do so.

" I...wanted to see if ...everything was okay...and so did Naruto...right...Naruto!" said Sakura. The innocence washed out of her pores.

Naruto looked down to his feet with an angry expression on his face. It was killing him to be this close to Sasuke. The sticky black aura that attached itself to Sasuke was putrid and vengeful; it killed babies and strangled cats. Sakura had forced him to stand here, he would really only do it for her.

"Last night we heard crashes..." said Sakura, blushing. Something adult was stirring in her mind.

Sasuke shifted his eyes to the black flames in his wall, they had disappeared-for now.

-Crash-

That was all Sasuke had to hear. He left the two dumbfounded at the door and ran to his room where the box was supposed to be. Almost slipping up the cracked Oak steps, he neared the sliding door to his room, and stopped to catch his breath.

-

Sakura punched Naruto on the head and said "Dumbass, let's go in!"

Nevertheless, Naruto walked behind Sakura, something a little child would do.

"It's...everything I didn't expect it to be...," said Sakura, more to herself than to Naruto. She flicked off a cluster of green crust from the table, and tried to get it off from under her fingernail. It wasn't messy, and it wasn't dirty either, nothing covered the floors besides a wet cloth. Sakura dismissed the clear shot of the kunai hanging from the wall. It was a wooden floor, like every home in Konoha. Nothing glorious or spectacular. Dust cluttered on the floor and in places you wouldn't think of, paint was peeling from the walls. Three small windows allowed light to enter the room, but so petite it shut out any chorus that tried to enter. No lights were found, just candles...how...old...the wick was close to it's end, dried wax collected on the side of the brass holders. The candle itself was yellow and worn. Seven steps led upstairs. Not carpeted, a couple scrolls hung from the wall in a language unknown to even Sakura, Naruto found it funny Sasuke had been collecting Scrolls. How unmanly. Naruto closed his eyes and did a silent laugh in the air as he walked up the cracked Oak steps.

Sasuke opened the sliding doors to his room; the screen had frost on it. He stepped inside and felt cold. He never felt cold...It was 87 degrees out right now (or so he thought). Blood secreted out from the cracks in the sliding doors, and bathed Sasuke's feet, making him flinch from the immensely horrific stench. His body slipped and collided straightforward into...the red wall? Yes. Covering the wall was an immense painting. It didn't quite look like it was in blood, because it was thick, and it wasn't running. It hadn't gone brown from being exposed to the air. Over Sasuke's bed was a 'painting' of a child. Though she wasn't crying next to her mother, she was smirking, her left hand held up part of the squished skull that had been ripped from the mother's head. Quick lines resembling something similar to veins dripped blood from the exposed interior of the brain. A fistful of hair still held onto the scalp made with long thin strokes of an ordinary calligraphy pen. Around the children, dead adults, mutilated adults, and child were crowded around each other. None held happiness on their face but the one child in the middle. This continued, until the wall stopped, then it began about two more times, but the little girl was repeated, only the dead were. It must feel good to kill...

Sasuke shook that barbaric idea out from his head, and turned to the door to meet two surprised Ninja: Sakura had her hands over her face, but was still peeking out through her middle and index fingers. Naruto had his hands straight down his sides; sweat was brewing behind his neck.

On the right side of Sasuke's bed was a scroll, it was written in an unknown language, identical to the one's on Sasuke's wall. This one was different, though. Sasuke slipped his feet through the thickening blood on the floor, and reached his hand out to meet with the watery text, the vibrations from his touch sent little waves through the face of the scroll, much like the surface tension a bug would use to get across a river. Sasuke saw black...

:Mom...moma...are you...dead? Wake up...wake up...Mom...help...stop it...don't fool around...you aren't dead...you aren't dead...

But she was dead. And you know it...everyone is...because...you are weak...you are nothing (Sasuke wipes his face, and slips, falling on top of his mother, and seeing her torn face, her white skin stained red, he'd have to burn her, and keep this a secret)

"Secret...secret...":

Sasuke withdrew his hand from the scroll, in a poof of black vapor the scroll disappeared. He could feel someone's hand helping him up. He didn't try to resist, he was too tired.

"Naruto...we have to get help! But we can't leave him here!"

Sakura dragged Sasuke into his bed and covered him, but the blanket's tips were red and sticky. Naruto and Sakura ran out of the house, almost slipping down the stairs. Sakura's hands were dyed red, and she unceasingly wiped them on her Tao dress as they ran out into the woods, dodging trees and stumps. Neither of them talked.

"YAAAAAHHH!"

Naruto tripped on a stone and both went flying...into a hole?

"-Cough cough-Naruto? What happened?"

Feeling the cold dirt and seeing the darkness showed her they had fallen into someone's prank. Naruto grunted to let her know he was there, not like she cared...

"This is the fricken second time I have fallen into this hole...", Sakura aimed this at Naruto, like he had something to do with it.

"It must have been the hole I dug two days ago...wait...what did you just say?" said Naruto.

"I said I'll have to kill you later if we get out of this hole"

"But It's only fifteen feet up...we can use jut-"

"Shhhhh! I hear something...Naruto, why the Hell are you breathing so hard?"

Naruto held his breath to disprove Sakura's accusation.

"Oh, crap", said Sakura, remembering the old men that had followed her. A light giggling was coming from the other side of the hole. The hole where no one can hear you scream...

Ah, been a while since I updated.
