Please forgive me before hand...

Well, here it is:


Sakura sighed, she wanted out of this forest soon, it felt like the bugs were eating her alive.

Chapter 11 ------

They soon came to a camp in the middle of the forest. "Who lives out here with all these bugs?" she asked. "I'm not sure, let's go find out," he said as he dragged Sakura with him.

"Um…hello?" he asked as he looked in the tents. Not the smartest thing to do, but then again it's Sai.

"Um…Sai, I don't think anyone's here," she said as she waited in one spot watching him.

"Yes, but at least there's a place to sleep," he said as he came back to her. She nodded.

XxXxXx

It was late in the night and Sakura had fallen asleep. Sai was supposed to be tending to the fire, but he was down by the river. "Kami, why?" he cried as he looked to the moon.

XxXxXx

Sakura woke up and noticed Sai wasn't next to her. "Sai?" she called, hoping he was outside by the fire. She got up and looked out at the fire, no Sai, but another man was there.

"Excuse me…who are you?" Sakura asked as she came upon the man slowly. He turned around and looked at her.

"I'm Asakura Hao," he said as he stood up. The man had black hair similar to Sai's, black eyes, the long black hat, and almost the same clothes Sai had, except his pants were white. His face was also a little slimmer. "What are you doing here?" he asked.

(A/N: Man, they are very close image wise, even on pictures…it's scary…e-mail me if ya wanna see)

"Oh, my friend and I were wandering and looking for a place to stay. I'm sorry we stayed the night here without your knowing," she bowed and left. 'Sai…where are you?' Sakura thought as she ran through the forest to find Sai.

After looking for 20 minutes, she had the thought of him leaving her running through her head. 'No! He wouldn't do that…he has to be somewhere around here…' she kept positive thoughts in her head.

No sooner had she thought that, she saw a body by the river. 'No…please!' she shouted and cried in her head as she went over to the body.

She didn't want to move it too much, just enough to see the face. As afraid as she was, she just had to know. Sakura moved the body ever so slightly, and there he was.

Sai had killed himself.

(A/N: WHAAAAA!)

Sakura screamed and ran back to the place where the man was. Tears never came out of her so fast before as she ran back to the camp. 'Sai…how could you?' she thought over and over again as she ran.

Luckily, she opened her eyes to see the man a few feet in front of her. "What's wrong?" he asked. She couldn't say anything; she just cried her heart out.

The man she loved was dead.

She fell to the earth and rubbed her eyes as she cried. The man leaned down and hugged her softly as to comfort her. "It's alright, I'll be here," he whispered into her ear.

'No…I want Sai!' she demanded in her head as no words could come out.

The man picked her up and carried her back to the campsite. She cried the whole way back.

He placed her in a teepee and asked if he could heal her wounds.

As much as she wanted him not to see her, she had to unless she wanted to get infected.


Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! NO SAI! NO!
