Naruto

Chapter 16: Confession

Saga: Death and Rebirth

"What's going on here" Shinkamaru said stepping to Naruto's side, his eyebrows were twisted up in confusion.

"Both contestants have been disqualified front of the tournament" the Anbu answered shrugging his shoulders. "I'm just collecting one of them at the moment."

He reached over and pulled Sonki to here feet weakly by the back of her collar.

"Not a problem is it" he asked as he placed her on his left shoulder.

Shinkamaru frowned at him. "What's really going on here? I may not know Sonki as well as Naruto and her other teammates… But she wouldn't make rash actions like this unless there was something important going to take place."

"She didn't want to fight the boy from the Sand so they were going to run away from the battle" he answered, shrugging once more.

"Why wouldn't she had just forfeited" Naruto asked, he seemed to have regained his ability to speak. "Why wouldn't she just have forfeited? Sonki doesn't like to admit that she makes mistakes or has gotten herself in to deep, but she would never run away" He was now glaring at the man in front of him. "Drop her now! I don't think we have the full story"

"'Take out the Anbu or you'll never get the chance to fight the Hokage! Kabuto is here to kill him.' Those are the words Sonki said to Naruto when she appeared" Shinkamaru said, he crossed his arms over his chest. "For once I am going to agree with Naruto's antics. Put her down. You have no right to just come here, knock her out and demand to take her away."

"Yes, do put her down" Gaara said appearing at his side. "If I am correct you are the one she was talking about. Kabuto"

"And what if I am" he asked, putting his hand up next to his mask. A wicked smile spread across his face as he removed it, revealing that he was Kabuto as stated. "You may be powerful boy, but if you lay a finger on me I'll snap your little friends neck."

"YOU CAN'T DO THAT" Naruto screamed a fist in front of his face as he glared with malice at Kabuto. "Don't think you're at an advantage Kabuto! I may have trusted you before… But I'm not afraid to kill you now"

"Wouldn't that be a shame… You'd be just like this woman I am holding yes? Didn't you say you refused to see her as your equal? Because she was about to kill that boy Akito" Kabuto asked him laughed. "That would make you no better than the murderer she is."

-

"Kakashi sensei" Sakura screamed out jumping up from her seat as she saw him run past the row below her.

He stopped to turn around to face her as she was running towards him.

"What's going on here? What are Sonki and that boy trying to do? Why did they disappear from the ring like that" Sakura asked him frantically.

"I don't know" Kakashi answered truthfully. "At the moment we and the Anbu's are out searching for the two of them. We need answer's too Sakura. If you want to be help go find Sasuke and search with him for the two of them too."

"Yes, sir" Sakura said nodding her head at him to show she understood. She then ran away from him in the opposite direction.

-

"Just let her go" Naruto screamed out. "She's hasn't done anything wrong! If what you are saying is true than why hasn't the Hokage made an announcement yet"

"He doesn't have the opportunity too" Kabuto answered snickering at him. "Sonki is right about one thing. You may not be able to kill me, but Lord Orochimaru will be able to kill your Hokage."

"SHUT-UP" Naruto yelled, his Chakra was flowing throughout his body savagely.

"Yes, do" a voice said as Kabuto fell to his own knee's.

Sasuke stood over him; he had just smashed his fist into Kabuto's neck, causing him to fall.

Sonki rolled out off of his shoulder and stopped at Gaara's feet.

"Well…" Sasuke spat out at Gaara aggravated. "Pick her up then. Unless you would rather her stay there on the ground."

Gaara shot Sasuke a glare as he leaned over and picked her up in a cradle position.

"What are we supposed to do now, then" Naruto asked. He looked over to Kabuto's fallen body. "And what about him"

"I'll take care of him" Kakashi said appearing on scene. He then looked over to Gaara who was holding Sonki's body. "And you two have one hell of an explanation coming forward."

He got no reply; Gaara was looking down at Sonki's face concerned.

"Don't worry, just take her to the hospital and let them take care of her… I'm sure she just passed out" Kakashi said noticing his look. He then sighed as he flung Kabuto onto his shoulder roughly, as he had done to Sonki. "When we do ask for that explanation someone will be sent for you. So don't even think about running off."

-

A dragon stood hunched over her frail body.

Sonki sat on the ground of the endless black room, fear was reflected on her face as she starred up at the dragon.

Bodies littered the floor around her.

She shut her eyes tight as the fell across the body closest to her.

Sakura's twisted expression starred back at her, her whole body covered in blood and her arm torn up.

"What am I doing here" Sonki screamed out, her whole body quivering as she kept her eyes shut. She didn't want to see anymore of the bodies around her. Afraid that it might be more people she loved. "WHAT AM I DOING HERE"

"This is you're world now" the dragon answered in front of her. "You will call upon us to create it. This is the world you seek and desire Sonki."

"No! No it's not! I don't want this chaos and destruction" Sonki snapped. "THIS ISN'T TRUE"

"But it is… You will bring about this destruction Sonki."

-

Sonki opened her eyes and sat up in her bed gently. Her head was pounding as she rubbed her hand over it.

"Ah, you're awake" Kakashi yelled out surprised as he saw her rise.

"Where the hell am I" Sonki asked now rubbing her eyes as she swung her feet over the edge of her bed and sat up.

"Konoha hospital, you've been out for at least two days now" Kakashi answered. "We had just thought you had passed out."

"I guess I didn't" Sonki answered as she started to take in the surroundings around her. Flowers littered the table next to her bed, Lilly's and Daisy's. "What… Did they think I was going to die or something"

"You were out for a while Sonki" Kakashi answered. "Some of us can't help but worry about you. After what happened…"

"What happened" Sonki asked snapping her attention to him. "Kakashi! What happened"

"The Hokage is dead."

Sonki stared at him, taken back at his statement.

"D-dead"

"He was assassinated. It seemed as though the Sand had this all set up."

"I see…" Her hands had turned into fists at her side. "Where is Kabuto?

"Escaped" Kakashi said, an angry smile forming under his mask. "Somehow he managed to distract the Shinobi who were holding him long enough to flee."

"This is bad…"

"I want an explanation. You're friend should be arriving anytime now…"

"Gaara"

He nodded his head. "It seems as though he doesn't feel obligated to leave this village yet, though his sister and brother have left."

"Why should he"

She walked back over to her bed and sat down on. Hands rested in her lap she let out a huge sigh.

"Hmm"

"This is frustrating…" She leaned back on her hands, now looking up at the ceiling. "Because now of all times… I have to spill everything."

"Everything"

She grinned at him. "Not one of you is going to believe any of the words that come out of my mouth."

"Not running away"

"I can't. Where could I run too"

A silence filled the room.

-

Sonki now stood in front of Kakashi, Gaara, and her teammates.

"Why are we here" Naruto asked breaking the silence that had followed after they all had arrived.

"Seems Sonki has something to tell us finally" Sasuke answered, a smirk coming across his face. "So Sonki, what is it"

Gaara glared at him, holding back all urges to smash his face in.

"I guess everyone wants to know about me… About what happened at the tournament right"

"Obviously…" Sakura muttered, not even daring to look her directly in the face. "How is it that every time something major happens, you're always the first one to know"

Sonki adverted her eyes to the floor. I'm really not ready to talk about this… After all, none of them are going to believe that I'm from another World.

"When Sasuke got the mark… You knew it had happened, even though you had left. You knew Sasuke was going to win in the preliminaries! Sonki, how is it that you can act as though you know everything that is going to happen? You're acting as though you can see the future"

"That's a different way of putting it." She stuck her hands in the pockets of her pants. "But don't get my wrong, I can not see the future. I just know it."

"How can that be" Kakashi asked.

"I'm not from this World." She gave them all a nervous smile.

"What are you talking about" Naruto asked looking at her in confusion. "Another World"

"In my World you are all just characters in an Anime and Manga series. Nothing more."

"Even if I were to believe this, how did you manage to slip between the barriers and come into our World" Sasuke asked her.

Neither he nor anyone else in the room believed a word she said.

"I was on the verge of suicide…" Sonki answered. She didn't want to go any further, though all eyes in the room were on her, begging her to keep going. "But as fate had it I didn't even get the change to draw blood. A man from you're World stepped out of the shadows, he fulfilled my deepest desire…"

"Desire" Gaara asked, his voice causing shivers to run up her spine.

"To be part of this World."

"Why would you wish that" Naruto asked.

"My own World rejected me. All the kids at my school hated me; they bullied me, made fun of me, and destroyed my ego. Day after day I would go home crying. My father and mother were nothing of comfort to me, all they ever thought was I need a good shrink, or that I was just putting on an act…"

"Who as the man from our World" Kakashi asked, ignoring everything she had said before.

He got no reply, just a hollow look.

"Sonki, who was the man that let you into this World"

"Orochimaru…"

"And you trusted him" Sakura screamed at her. "If you had not come here would things have been different"

"No…" Sonki answered"Not everything would be the exact same… Every major event still would have happened…" She cast Naruto a mournful look. "I didn't want the Hokage to die! I tried to save him! I wanted to change that! I wanted to destroy Orochimaru"

"Even if I believe you for one second… You shouldn't have come here" Gaara screamed at her, everyone could see he was starting to get angry.

"You're right… I probably shouldn't have. But how could I resist the urge when I am dead to my own World"

"So then you know everything that is going to happen because you either saw us on the television or read about us" Kakashi asked.

"Not everything… The series is most likely still running in my own World… It's unfinished."

"So what is going to happen next then" Sasuke asked her. "What the hell is going to happen to us next"

"I can't tell you…" Sonki answered to him silently.

You're going to leave… You're going to try to find Orochimaru.

"You're lying" He shot back at her. "There's not real reason why you can't tell us! You just chose not too"

"I've already messed the timeline in this World up enough… If I told you what was to have happened next I'm sure everything would be ruined. If I was to interfere in all of the battle that have taken place no one would have ever grown. No one would have become stronger. If I had interfered in everything I thought was wrong this would all be corrupt. Nothing good will have come of it. Don't you see, this shouldn't even have happened. You shouldn't even know that I am of another world"

"THAN JUST GO AWAY" Gaara screamed at her.

"I really wish I could…"

The door slammed shut behind him.

-

Sonki sat with her knees pulled up to her chest on her bed. Tears were running down her face as thoughts of the conversation that had taken place a few hours ago still ran through her mind.

Everyone was still mad at her, Sasuke more now than ever. Though she had managed to sink into their minds that she was not of this World but another, they still were having their doughts if it were true or not.

A loud knock was heard at her door, causing her to jump in surprise.

Slowly she got out of the position she was in and made her way to the door.

A knock was heard again.

"Hold on… I'll be right there" she said, her voice emotionless.

She opened the door to only have her eyes met back with bright blue ones.

"Naruto" she asked in surprise. "What do you want"

"Let's go for a walk…"

She shut the door behind her as she left.

-

"I'm still finding what you say hard to believe…" Naruto said as they stopped in front of a lake. Sonki was starring down at it, with the same emotionless look. "It's just a little too unreal… If you know what I mean"

"I understand" Sonki answered. "I knew none of you were going to believe me when I said it… That's why I never said it sooner. But then again, everyone is mad at me right"

"I think it's just Sasuke and that guy from the Sand" Naruto answered, trying to sound reassuring. "Otherwise, people are just shocked."

"I can't tell you what's going to happen next, if that's what you came here for…" Sonki said narrowing her eyes. "It's not my place to say. What happens has to happen… If I feel the need for it to be stopped I'll do so."

"None of us like having you play our actions through your mind" Naruto said looking at her. "None of us want you to be able to control us in the palm of your hand."

"I know" Sonki answered. "I know."

"Then you should just let things take course. Even though you have already changed things… Just live your life as it is. Try to forget that you know what is going to happen… Just live your life as you dreamed of it back in your own World."

"I can't" Sonki answered falling to her knees. Tears were now flowing down her face freely as she continued to star at the lake in front of her. "I can't… It won't ever happen."

"Why can't it"

"From the very first time I saw Gaara, I knew I was in love with him. Even if he was just a fictional character I cared for him. I knew he was just a misunderstood character. I always dreamed of just meeting him, even if it was not going to ever happen. But… I wanted to prove to him that he wasn't worthless, that people can love him. That love isn't just something he was born without."

"Why can't you still prove it"

"He hates me now…" She laughed. "He hates me now Naruto! You saw the way he looked at me! How could he not hate me"

"You don't know that…"

"What? And you do"

"He said… He said he love you, didn't he"

"He thinks he does, but really he is just in love with a made up character."

"You should tell him yourself…"

Melancholy rushed over Naruto's face.

"You should tell him how you really feel about him."

"Even if I did it wouldn't matter." She was now on her feet, drying her eyes with the back of her hand as she turned her back to him. "It doesn't matter anymore Naruto. I'm just a bother to everyone."

"What are you going to do"

"I'll leave. I don't know where I'll go, but… I'll follow my feet. I may end up at the ends of this Earth but after all, at least I won't be a bother to anyone. I'll be gone from your lives forever. You'll never have to worry about me again. I'll never cause any more trouble. I'll just disappear from your lives together."

"But it's not what you want to do, is it"

"I don't want to leave… But I have to."

She then began to walk away from him.

"No matter what you think. At least one person will care. At least one person's life will stop just for you."

He watched the ripples on the lake disappear as the wind blew across it.

I know it's short! But the idea's just stopped right after the last scene! That's all I could get to run through my mind! Another chapter will be posted in a week or so. I'm not forgetting I'm just busy. Hope you liked this one. I know I may have rushed through it but if any of you really feel I should have added something on or rewrite the whole thing than demand it out of me!
