Yay! Chapter 4! Sorry it took so long... I do not have a muse... if I did, it would be my friend.
No, what I do have is a very nice friend (Amanda the Stampede) who is letting me on her computer. Summer school kicked me out!
Anyway, I am very sorry to Sasuke-san.
Read and review!

Day 4
Sakura stared at Sasuke, the reality that he was dead finally hitting her. She had really killed him.
No, maybe he was just sleeping.
She poked him sharply, flinching as though she expected him to jump up. Naruto watched her wearily. Sasuke was dead, but he could care less. And Sakura didn't care either. She was too depressed and weak to care. She poked Sasuke one last time, and turned to Kakashi.
"Kakashi-sensei, I just thought you should know that I killed Sasuke."
"Kakashi-sensei?"
The silver-haired jounin didn't make a move. He hadn't moved at all through the night, or stopped humming. His knees were still curled up to him, and he was still rocking back and forth. He tonelessly hummed the chorus to "A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down", and Naruto shoved tissues from a random pocket into his ears.
"Kakashi-sensei?"

"Is Sasuke dead?" Iruka demanded. Tsunade shrugged.
"That's what that little kunoichi said, but she she could be lying." she said. Iruka huffed angrily.
"I don't know what they're doing in there, but I think I hear Mary Poppins..." the Hokage said.

Naruto was dying of hunger. He still had the peppermint that he refused to eat unless he absolutely needed it, but he was starting to think more and more that he really did need it.
Sakura had devoured her share of the candy, and regretted it more than ever. She'd heard that hunger makes people irritable, but she didn't think that was true.
"Stop it! For the love of Kami-sama, STOP IT!"
Naruto shouted at Kakashi, who was silent as his song finished. The blonde snatched up the water bottle that had previously victimized him and proceeded to beat Kakashi senseless with it.
"I HATE YOU! YOU STUPID FREAKING KAKASHI!"
Sakura stared at Naurto on the rampage.
Maybe hunger did make people irritable...
"DIE KAKASHI, DIE!"
"Naruto-"
"YOU STUPID JOUNIN!" -whack-
"Naruto, I don't think you should-"
"DIE, DAMMIT, DIE!" -whack whack smack-
"Naruto..."
"SHUT UP!" Naruto yelled at Sakura, looking with disdain at the dented water bottle. As the light bulb flickered and went out, Sakura's headband gleamed. Naruto ripped his from his forehead and gave his sensei a few good whacks with it.

"It really sounds like something is going on in there, Tsunade," Iruka complained. "Maybe you should let them out."
"It's all sound effects," Tsunade said.
-SMACK-

"Naruto, stop!"
Sakura wrenched the headband from her partner's hands, only for his fist to hit Kakashi instead. He finally stopped his assault, and sat down. All the attacking had made him even more hungry. He slowly unwrapped the peppermint, snarling like a dog as Sakura looked at it, and popped it in his mouth.
He imagined that it was ramen, the best miso ramen in the world, the hot steamy broth sliding down his throat. He choked, bringing him back from Ramen Land. The peppermint was stuck, and he gasped for air. His hands clenched around his neck, and he looked desperately at Sakura.
She smiled.
And Naruto knew he was done for.

-whimpers-
I'm sorry, Sasuke!
And Kakashi!
Oh yeah, Naruto too.
But they all had to die.
-laughs evilly-
Sakura is evil. I think she is channeling my spirit.
