-----------------------------------Chapter 7- Oracle--------------------------------------------------

Sasuke left a few minutes later, after Sakura. He left the kitten on somebody's porch and then made his way home. He had a lot of thinking to do. He never felt this way about someone. He was starting to like Sakura…but even he's not sure about that. And what about Akiko? He just met her…he shouldn't have been doing this. He had other important things to be thinking about.


Gaara opened the door to Naruto's apartment from the balcony and stepped in. The lights were off and everything was quiet. He laid Akiko on the couch and watched her sleep for a couple of minutes before leaving. He closed the door behind him, and disappeared into the night.


The next morning, Akiko woke up when the sun was still rising. She looked around and found herself on the couch.

'What the…How did I get here?' She asked herself. She got up and stretched.


Sakura could hardly sleep that night. She never felt like this before. She couldn't even find strength in herself anymore. She walked around in her room for hours, trying to fall asleep, but she couldn't. She was awake until 5 in the morning.


Akiko sat down and started eating breakfast. She felt so tired and cold. What the hell was she doing the night before? She couldn't even remember. She walked to Naruto's room and peeked in. It was so messy in here. Scrolls and clothes lay everywhere. Akiko just left the room immediately. She was walking in the hallway, back to the kitchen before she heard a noise in the kitchen. It sounded like a bunch of plates falling on the ground and breaking. She ran to the edge of the wall, and looked out from the corner. She didn't see anything. She looked at the open cabinet and saw more plates falling on the ground and breaking. But she remembered, she didn't leave the cabinet open. She slowly walked to the cabinet and looked inside. There was a note inside.

"Long time, no see,"

Akiko dropped the note. She stepped back.

"Ow!" she yelled. She looked down and saw that she stepped on a broken piece of plate. It started bleeding a lot. She heard another noise from behind her, and she turned around. No one was there. She started feeling all weird again, like before. She could hardly see anything…Everything was going black. She slowly blinked and looked around.

Suddenly, a shadow loomed in front of her.

She looked up and saw a man dressed up…as one of those medieval clown people. He had white paint on his face, and he was wearing a hat with bells. His hands were bloody with cuts and he was wearing weird shoes. Akiko stepped back.

"Leave me alone," she said. She knew this guy was with Hiro. The man chuckled. Suddenly, he took out this sword and swung it at Akiko. Akiko ducked just in time. She fell on the broken pieces of glass and her arms started bleeding. She looked up at the man and he was staring at her, showing his sharp, bloody teeth. He smiled. She tried to crawl away, but he stepped in front of her.

She started crying, but she knew that wouldn't help. The man pulled her up from her hair. She closed her eyes, and bit her lip. He touched her cheek with his long, bony finger. He dropped her on the floor again, and she got more cuts on her.

She saw a pool of blood forming next to her. She quickly wrote something in it, and she was hoping the man wouldn't see her. Suddenly, she could feel someone's arms seizing her up. She could see the jester man standing behind her, holding her. She saw the little girl there. She smiled at Akiko, and then began laughing.

Why wasn't she fighting back?

'Hurry…Hurry up…Naruto…' She thought.

The next thing Akiko saw was just black. Black all around her. The little girl and the man were fading.


Naruto woke up and stretched. He sat up, tired in his bed, and yawned.

He got up and went into Akiko's room. Her bed was made…that means she wasn't home, she never made her bed.

He walked into the kitchen and stopped.

"What…what happened here!" He saw broken plates on the ground, he saw blood splattered everywhere. He walked around the mess, trying to figure out what happened. He looked down at the floor. Right there, written in blood, it said…

Help
Please

Naruto looked around. Wait…could it be possible that Akiko wrote this? He ran to his room to get ready.

Ten minutes later, Naruto left his apartment and ran outside. He saw Sasuke training outside. He ran to the training grounds and stopped Sasuke from kicking the tree.

"Naruto! What the hell!" Sasuke yelled at him.

Naruto was breathing hard.

"Akiko's been kidnapped!" he yelled.

"What?" Sasuke asked.

"We have to go find her!"

Naruto then explained everything he saw in his kitchen that morning.

"We have to tell Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto exclaimed.

The two of them left the training grounds to find Kakashi's house. Finally, after asking many people, they found Kakashi's house.

Naruto knocked loudly on Kakashi's door. Kakashi opened his door and then shouted at the top of his lungs.

"AKIKO'S BEEN KIDNAPPED!"

Kakashi looked at Naruto strangely.

"How did you find my house?"

Naruto stared at him like he was insane, and then he pushed Kakashi and yelled at him some more.

"WHAT THE HELL!"

And then Sasuke and Naruto explained to Kakashi what happened. Within 15 minutes, the three of them were in Tsunade's office, explaining what happened (Well, actually most of the talking came from Naruto). Tsunade contacted the other jounins and they all met up in Naruto's apartment, looking at the mess.

Tsunade sighed. This was serious.

"So it's true. What they told me…"

Naruto looked at her. "What do you mean?" he asked.

"A long time ago…there was a man, who was studying to be a medical ninja. His name was Hiro Mutou. He was trying to make a new kind of medicine that would help people from dying. Sort of…a life saving medicine. The Third, who was the hokage at that time, told him not to make it because people needed to die, it was a natural part of life. He turned against every one.

The reason he was making this…was because he was dying. He had some sort of virus in him that was incurable. In the end, he killed his only daughter because of madness. His wife was long dead because she died of sickness when the girl was only four years old. He continued trying to make this, it took a long time. One mistake could ruin it. He was obsessed, and he knew he had limited time left. One day, he mixed two wrong chemicals by mistake, and it all blew up.

His face melted away, and his eye balls melted away. He was blind. He didn't want to give up though. Everyone tried to stop him, but he wouldn't listen. One night, he was about to take a rest, when some one appeared in his house. He didn't know who it was, but he tried desperately to run away. He didn't make it. The man hacked off Hiro's legs and said he didn't need them, and Hiro was stabbed to death in the back. People say his ghost still roams the world, but no one believed that.

The only way he could come back to life was getting a hold of a very powerful and strong soul. First he sought out Sabaku no Gaara…because of the demon he possessed. It was too hard, so they said he gave up. After that, he…must have gone after Akiko. We don't know why…" Tsunade stopped talking.

Naruto stared wide-eyed at the blood. "How…how was that possible?" he asked.

Kurenai stepped up and continued.

"Well, first he would need to suck the soul out, trap it somewhere, and then take his place in the persons' body. That way, when he's in the body, the soul can't go back in, and the body is his. They say he wants to come back to life and finish his work…But the body would be possessed by an evil spirit the whole time…"

Tsunade sighed.

"I didn't actually believe it when the people from the sand village told me 'an evil spirit' was after her…"

Naruto stood up. "Well, we have to go find her, or it'll be too late!"

All the jounins looked at him.


Gaara felt some weird kind of feeling coming over him…He left his hotel room immediately. Temari just stared at him as he left.

He walked outside and stepped into the sunlight. He could sense something was wrong.


Akiko woke up in some kind of cave or something. It was freezing cold here. She sat up and shivered. She was on some kind of weird table or something. She didn't like this at all…

She got off the table and walked around. There seemed to be no passage ways out of here. It was just all dark and cold. She continued walking, and stepped in water or something.

"What the…?" Akiko looked down. She could see that there was a pool of water or something down here. She looked up at the ceiling of this cave and wondered how water could have come here. She stepped back. She looked at her arms, but could hardly make anything out. She felt her arms and twitched. The pain was there alright…that meant this wasn't a dream.


Neji sighed. He was so bored. Gai didn't turn up for practice today. Lee was really upset; he thought something bad might have happened to Gai sensei so he started crying. Tenten tried hard to get Lee to calm down, but she couldn't so she gave up.

She hid behind a tree as she watched Neji sitting on a log, looking up at the sky.

'Should I go talk to him?' she asked herself. She looked back at the blubbering Lee, and then immediately looked away. 'Maybe I should,'

She drew in a deep breath and then walked towards Neji. Neji could sense someone coming near him, so he turned around.

'Crap…forgot about that,'

"What?" Neji rudely asked. Tenten looked at him as if she wanted to slap him.

"You know, you could have helped in with making Lee stop crying," Tenten said. She put her hands on her hips. Neji looked away. Tenten sighed. She messed up again. I think.

Anyways, within ten minutes, Gai walked to his training area and stopped. He saw Neji sitting on a log looking bored as hell; Tenten was sitting on the grass pulling out weeds and Lee…Oh my God! Lee was crying!

"Lee!" Gai yelled out. Lee turned his head.

"Gai-Sensei! Where were you!" He yelled.

Gai ran over to him. "If you cry, I cry!" he exclaimed. They hugged each other and began crying. Tenten and Neji just weirdly stared at them. After twenty minutes of crying, they calmed down.

"Ok, let's explain today's mission!"


Hinata was walking in the streets of Konoha. She didn't have practice today because Kurenai-sensei was busy with something. She could sense someone running towards her, and she turned around. She found Naruto breathing heavily.

"N-Naruto…kun?" she asked. Naruto looked up at her.

"Have you seen Akiko?" he asked. Hinata shook her head.

"Shit!" Naruto whispered. He closed his eyes angrily, and tried to think. Hinata just stared at him.

"Um…why Na-Naruto-kun?" she asked. Naruto shook his head. Hinata looked down at the ground. Naruto looked up at her face and saw that she was sad about something. Maybe something happened between her and Neji? Maybe they got in a fight?

"Hinata…chan? Are you okay?" Naruto asked. Hinata immediately looked up at him, and nervously smiled.

"Y-yes…" she said. She went back to looking at stuff through the store windows. Naruto was worried about her. He didn't know why though. He never felt like this before. He grabbed a hold of Hinata's hand. Hinata turned around and looked at him.

"Na-Naruto-kun…?"

"You have to help me…Will you help me?" Naruto asked. Hinata blushed a deep red.

"Y-yes…" she said. Naruto smiled at her. He led her to the forests.


Sakura dragged herself out of bed and walked to the kitchen downstairs. She felt so down ever since yesterday. Actually, she didn't feel like eating anything, so she made her way back upstairs to her room. She just found out that she had no practice today, so she decided to stay in her house.

She was looking out her window for most of the time. She didn't even know why she got dressed today, it's not she was going anywhere.

"Sakura! Someone's here to see you!" Her mother called from downstairs.

"Hm? Someone's here? To see me?" she asked herself. She ran down the stairs and then stopped.

Sasuke was waiting outside her door. He saw her and looked at her. She looked at him up and down and realized it was the same Sasuke she saw every day.

"I'm going back to bed…" she muttered. She could feel someone wrapping there arms around her waist.

"We have to look for Akiko…she's gone," Sasuke whispered to her. Sakura looked at the ground and then closed her eyes.

"I…I…" She didn't know what to say. Sasuke let go of her, and she turned to look at him.

"I…don't…want to," she finally said. Sasuke looked at her strangely. Sakura wasn't acting like herself. She turned to leave. She began walking up the stairs, and then finally, she walked into her room and closed the door.

Sasuke sighed. He could feel a presence near him and turned around. He saw Sakura's mother behind him, looking up the steps.

"She left, didn't she?" She sighed. "She's so stubborn,"

Sasuke just stared at her. Sakura's mother smiled at him.

"Want me to get her out of bed for you? She's been acting down ever since yesterday, she won't even talk about her problems," She continued. Sasuke looked back up the stairs. He shook his head.

"Let me try,"

Sakura sat on the floor next to her bed, thinking. She so didn't want to see Sasuke today. She totally humiliated herself the other day. She sighed. She got up and laid down on her bed, and closed her eyes. She heard a knock on her door. She thought it was her mother again.

"Leave me alone…" she said. She sighed. The door opened. She got angry again. This time she sat up and turned to look at the person who came in.

"Sasuke…kun?"

Sasuke knelt down beside her and looked at her.

"What's your problem?" He asked her.

"I…what…" Sakura looked away. Sasuke smiled. Sakura laid back down on the bed and turned away. "I don't want to talk today, Sasuke-kun, I'm sure you have more important things to do…"

When Sakura said this, he could hear sadness in her voice.

"You…really are annoying," he whispered in her ear. Sakura didn't face him, but tears did form in her eyes. "But…That's what I love about you," he whispered again.

Sakura turned around to look at him. He hugged her tightly, like he never wanted to let go of her. Sakura felt confused…but she forgave him anyways…and hugged him back.


Gaara hid behind a tree and listened to the voices. He had been walking around for many hours; he just knew something was wrong. He found traces of blood along the trees and figured out it was Akiko's. He was deep inside a forest, it was really dark here. No sunlight was let through here, and this place seemed to be very far from Konoha. He reached a deep, long, dark cave and stopped.

He didn't like this place. Made him feel uncomfortable, but then again, Konoha made him uncomfortable as well because he wasn't used to the climate. Anyways, he stopped in front of the cave and looked in. He suddenly started feeling cold. What was going on?

Something was telling him not to go inside.


"Son, we need to talk,"

Shikamaru had the day off today, because Asuma was busy with something. But he had nothing to do so he stayed home. This was a bad idea. His mother had been nagging him for so long about the magazine.

"There comes a time in every young mans' life where he begins to experience changes- both physically and mentally—"

Shikamaru stared at his dad in sheer horror.

"No! NO!" he yelled. He suddenly did Kage Bunshin no Jutsu and a clone of him appeared in front of him. The clone looked at Shikamaru's dad and then jumped out the window.

"Do you want that to happen to me!" Shikamaru yelled. "A girl gave me that magazine! She's insane!" Shikamaru explained. Shikamaru's dad took the magazine and then read the note that Akiko wrote.

"Yes…well…I'm just gonna…have to…keep this book with me…for a while…" he exclaimed. He slowly put the book in his pocket and then looked around, making sure no one saw. "Don't tell your mother," he said. And then he left. Shikamaru just looked at him like he was insane.

Shikamaru's mom entered his room.

"Shikamaru, someone's here for you," she said.

"What! She's been kidnapped!" Shikamaru said. Naruto was at Shikamaru's door with Hinata and he just explained to Shikamaru what happened.

"Yeah, I've been looking for a while, I can't find her anywhere," he said. Shikamaru thought about this.

"Did you try the forests?" he asked. Naruto nodded. "Well, let's see. These people obviously wanted to hide Akiko somewhere…so where would you hide someone…?"

Naruto gasped.


Ok, did you like that? Please, tell me! Yeah...I couldn't think of anything else to write about Hiro...so yeah...please...don't ask...Here's my question!

Do you ever think Gaara has perverted thoughts? Geez...he's so mysterious...

And by the way...IF YOU THINK THE STORY IS ENDING NOW, YOU ARE WRONG! I just...yeah...wanted to...yeah..>.>

Yep, that's it. Ok, send in your answers, I wanna know. R and R!
