In the Forest

Chapter 2

I've liked Sasuke for a long time, so when Kakashi announced that Naruto had a terrible reaction to those clams, I was amazed. Now was my time to shine for the only guy I like, Sasuke. You might call me obsessive, but me and Ino used to fight our ways to see who would sit next to Sasuke. It was kinda funny now that you look at it, but when you like someone, that is the way it is. So when we were riding down the road on that smelly bus it was a dream come true. Sasuke didn't really say anything, but when I looked in his dark eyes, I could see worry.

"Bummer that Naruto got that reaction." I said nervously.

"Naruto always does that. Get in trouble."

Then Sasuke didn't say anything for a while. It was kinda stupid ya know, good friends just silent. Without Naruto there, the cake was not sweet without the icing on it. Naruto, he livened up the party, put the icing on the birthday cake.

"It'll be hellish Sakura," Sasuke said coolly, "since there is only two of us, we are going to be most likely targeted."

"I know," I said, "We'll have a hard time getting the Avian scroll and the Serpante scroll."

"We'll fight to the death, alright Sakura?"

"Cross my heart." I promised, and I wasn't lying. When the old, creaky bus stopped we climbed out and stared at the vast greatness of the forest. The green leaves covered with dew swayed, and sounds of exotic animals filled the air. This would be the kind of place that a couple on a honeymoon would go to, not a survival situation with rare scrolls. But believe me, I couldn't wait to go on a "honeymoon" with Sasuke. It would be awesome, being with just him, no other distractions. And it was awesome. When we arrived, we warmed up Ninjitsu in our temp hut and the surrounding land. Then we went to Angel Clearing, where we heard the news.

It was good news and bad news, and we didn't like it one bit. Tune into "Into the Forest"!
