"Sure, I believe she is at the library. I as soon as we are all done there we'll go tell her," said Kakashi casting a downwards glance at Sasuke, who in return grunted.
"Thank you." And with that the couple disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"Lets go I have to get back to training," replied Sasuke standing up and walking out the door.
"You heard him, lets go Naruto."
And with that the boys setted off on the road to library where a good story awaited them.
The length of the way arguments about who's stronger occurred behind a man reading a perverted book. People looked at the odd trio some muttering incoherent things.
Along the way a figure in the shadows started to follow. Over hearing the conversation at the ramen bar he decided to follow knowing that they would led him to the person he was looking for. Occasionally he would stop by a challenge our favorite hyperactive ninja but this time he came for a different reason. A reason he has never known, felt, heck he didn't even know what it was. It was bothering him senseless and driving him more insane. He thought he knew what the feeling was and dare he say it was love for a certain pink cherry. He would solve this mystery, he swore it upon his soul that he would!
Not looking up from his book Kakashi called out the figure's name, "Gaara if you wanted to come all you had to do was ask, well something like that," and with that he continued walking leaving his two students behind with the sand ninja.
"Hey Gaara! If you want another fight it'll have to wait I'm going to visit my beloved Sakura – can," shouted Naruto as he smiled his goofy smile.
"She's not yours dobe," stated Sasuke as he glared death at his opponent from sand.
"Well she's not yours so she's mine Sasuke – bastard! Ha I win!" yelled Naruto pumping his fist in the air.
"Where are you headed?"
"To the library, you can…"
With that Gaara sped to the library, hopefully he would get there before the Perverted Sensei.
"Oi? What just happened?" asked a very confused Naruto, scratching his head.
Sasuke didn't even bother to answer he sped after Gaara. ' What would he want with Sakura? He's probably going to kidnap her or kill her to get to Naruto or me! Fuck! What could he possibly want? Ugh! I have to stop him!' Sasuke's mind was in turbo thinking of what Gaara wanted and what he could do to him if he touched Sakura. ' If he dare lays one hand one my cherry… What the hell did I just say?'
"You said if he dare lays one hand on my cherry you would do something," stated Kakashi, smiling with his one visible eye, easily keeping up with Sasuke's ever increasing speeds.
"Wha… I don't have time for this." And with that Sasuke raced faster to kept up to Gaara.
"What's his problem?" asked Naruto popping up from know where.
Kakashi shrugged and kept with his lazy running pace as Naruto went on.
Outside the Library…
A black blur raced through the doors chasing after the red, followed by the yellow.
Inside library…
Down the hall in a dark corner was a room that read 'private' on the door outside. Unknown to Sakura that is where her destiny awaited. A bright red glow slowly emitted from the room. First glowing soft but turned brighter by the minute. Looking up from the stack of scrolls Sakura saw the light emitting from the door. 'What the hell!'
Drawing a kunai she walked slowly to the door. Kicking the door open with force she stepped in.
'A book! It's glowing! I wonder…'
Sakura closed the door behind her. Gently she pulled out the old binded book form the shelf and sat down against the door. The red light slowly diminished until it was no more. 'Shi Jin Tenchi Sho, that must be the books title.' Opening the book Sakura began to read loud to her self.
Sasuke finally caught up to Gaara and punched him to the floor at the bottom of the stairs. Surprisingly Naruto actually didn't yell at all, instead he asked the most reasonable question…
"Excuse me have you seen a pink haired girl come in and if you have where did she go?" he asked the librarian.
"She's upstairs dear, and if you don't mind stop your friends from fighting," she replied and went back to work.
By that time Sasuke and Gaara had raced up stairs leaving a dumbfound Naruto. I funny noise made Naruto look down, he was still hungry. Thinking Sasuke could tell Sakura he bounced off back to his favorite eating spot.
Kakashi lazily walked in and poofed upstairs to where a fight was about to start.
"Sakura get out of …"
Gaara also looked around and noticed the same thing. The pink cherry was not to be seen.
"Yo. Where is Sakura?"
"Quiet!" demanded Gaara.
The other two quickly shut up as they saw sand swirling by their ankles. Then they heard, a soft voice almost a whisper coming from the room that read 'private'. They all knew who it was and silently crept to the door as so not to disturbed their pink cherry.
"This is the story of a girl who gathered the Seven Seishi of Suzaku, and acquired the power to make every wish come true. The story itself is an incantation. Whoever finishes the book shall receive this power. As soon as the page is turned, the story will become the truth and begin."
All the boys looked to each other, Kakashi was the first to move. Turning the handle and pushing the door inward he found could not open the door. 'She must be sitting against it.'
"Sakura open the door, it's me Kakashi along with Sasuke and Gaara."
The door slowly opened to reveal Sakura with a old bounded book pressed securely to her chest. The boys stepped through, Kakashi closing the door behind them.
"Hello Gaara," chirped Sakura when she saw it really was the sand nib. Gaara only nodded in response but still glade she said hi to him first.
On the other hand Sasuke was silently steaming, and his thoughts going into turbo again. 'Why did she say hi to him first? What was she reading? Where is the dobe? Why is Kakashi not reading his dirty little book?'
'I have I bad feeling about that book,' thought Kakashi as he leaned against the door.
"Sakura, Sasuke has something to tell you," stated Kakashi as he whinked regaining his pervertedness.
"Your parents are going to be on a mission for a while," stated Sasuke as he glared death at Gaara who glared back.
"Okay," replied Sakura as she sat down and opening the book.
Tuning the page once again unleashed the bright red light. Kakashi jumped for his student, Gaara unleashed his sand and ordered it to protect his cherry, and Sasuke grabbed Sakura bridal style as they were all engulfed into the bright light.

Floating the four ninjas drifted through the stars, a burning sensation felt within all of their hearts.
