Chapter 21

Sakura's Loathing

"Where are you Sasuke?" thought Megumi.

Sasuke got up and walked back to the shrine. Sakura sat next to Kakashi-sensei while she treated his wounds. Naruto seemed to still be knocked out. Sasuke walked over to Shouri, who was brushing the dirt of, and patted her on the back.
"Can I talk to you?" he asked. Shouri walked with Sasuke to the lake. "How did she die?" he asked. "Well, she met Taka when she was doing a water ceremony and he thought she was is in danger. When he betrayed her, she went to that red gate and did a ceremony to entrap herself into the Shinigami so her power would not go out of control," finished Shouri with a shrug. Sasuke stared at the red gate.

Priestess Moroko walked over the water of the waterfall and sat on a rock in the middle of the falls. Koki jumped to sit next to her. "I guess we're both dead," she said with a grrr.

Think about it! Would Taka really kill you!

Moroko took the Asage and thrusted it into the rock in the falls. "Itachi, come out!" yelled Moroko. Itachi appeared in front of her. "Yes?" he asked. "I thought you liked Megumi?" she said with a flick of her hair. "No, I like the violent type," he said as he kissed her cheek. Moroko squinted then slapped Itachi. "Don't touch me!" yelled Moroko. Koki grrd at Itachi. Itachi smirked and disappeared. Moroko touched her forehead. "Sick jerk," she whispered.

Megumi jumped up onto a rock, overlooking Konoha, and frowned. "Well I guess I have to do this," she said with a sigh. Megumi jumped over the walls and landed on the Hokage's office roof. Megumi swung into the window and crouched on the ground. " Where is he?" she asked. Suddenly Megumi saw the Hokage holding her up by the neck. "What do you want!" he yelled. Megumi cringed. "I've just come to tell you that I'll never come back to Konoha again," she said with a cough. The Hokage released her and walked over to his desk. Megumi fell on and ground. The Hokage looked strait at Megumi. "Moroko's released, isn't she?" he asked. Megumi glared. "Yes," she said quietly. "This is a very big problem," he said. Megumi nodded.

Sakura walked over to Sasuke. "Are you ok?" she asked. "Leave me alone," he said. "But I-" Sakura hesitated when she saw his Sharingan. Sakura sighed and went to Naruto who seemed to have found a cup a noodle. "Naruto, what do you think your doing!" she yelled as she kicked him. Naruto rubbed his head. "This is a serious matter!" yelled Sakura. Naruto looked away and proceeded to eat his cup a noodle. Sakura looked up at the sky. "Sheeesh, why did Megumi have to come! I hate her!" thought Sakura.

Well there's chapter 21! Yay!

"Naruto, do you really think you can beat me!" yelled Sasuke at the edge of the lake. "Oh yeah!" yelled Naruto as he charged at Sasuke. Sasuke stepped to the side to see Naruto flying across the lake and ramming into the red gate. Naruto slowly slid down into the water. Sasuke smirked. "Loser," he thought. "Revenge!" yelled Naruto.
