The Rampage

Chapter 13: Dead?

Disclaimer: ALL MINE!(except for the charactersXD)

Sasuke had backhanded her and now she was soaring through the air. The second she hit the ground Sasuke jumped on her stomach. His feet left imprints on her shirt. She had coughed up blood, and a lot of it because it was starting to seep through the mask. Sasuke wrapped his left hand around her neck and slammed her against a nearby tree. Sakura whimpered in agony. He did this repeatedly. He then kneed her in the stomach numerous times. There wasn't a hint or guilt or regret in his eyes. "Does it hurt? Are you in pain?" He finally stopped and put on his evil smirk. Sakura only whimpered in reply. "Good. You know when you were kicking me earlier, that hurt like hell. I think you broke a few ribs. It still hurts. It's wonder how I can move around so well." He tightened his grip on her neck. She tried to pry him off with what strength she had left, but it was no use. Sasuke lifted her off the ground. Her back was grinding against the tree. He used his other hand to pull the kunai out of her right arm. She found no use in screaming and only winced. He them pinned her right arm to the tree with the kunai. This time he stabbed her in a different part. She bit her lip and let tears roll down her cheek. Blood poured from the wound.

"Crying isn't going to get you anywhere." Sasuke leaned in and whispered in her ear. "Now that you can barely move, I'll go finish of your little friend." His ice-cold voice sent a chill up and down her spine. He smiled sadistically and dropped her.

She was hanging by the kunai, which she pulled out. The kunoichi fell face down in the dirt. She was quaking dramatically. She raised her head to see Sasuke walking over to Naruto.

"N-Na-Naru…Naruto." Sasuke looked over his shoulder.

"You're still conscious?" Right when he spoke her head fell back to the ground. "Guess I spoke too soon." He continued walking over to the unconscious boy. "I always thought you were stronger than this." Sasuke kicked Naruto in the head. He lifted Naruto up by his hair and held a kunai at his throat. "You don't know how much I'm looking forward to this." Again, his evil smirk appeared. Right when the kunai was about to touch Naruto's flesh, a sharp pain shot through Sasuke's body. He dropped the kunai and Naruto.

"Don't underestimate me." There was a harsh voice in Sasuke's right ear. A kunai was jutting from his right shoulder.

"So you faked me out huh? Think you're tough stuff don't ya? We both know you're half dead. Why don't you just give up? You know as well as I do that you could never beat me." Sasuke gripped the kunai and pulled it out. Without hesitance he turned around and stabbed Sakura in the chest. Her emerald eyes widened as she fell backwards slamming on the hard dirt. Blood stained the light brown dirt where she lay. "Heh. Told you to give up."

Sasuke threw the kunai down and went to check for a pulse. He got a very faint one. It was getting slower and slower until he couldn't feel one anymore.

'They sure did have a lotta life in them. Pain in the ass to kill too. Now time to find out who they are.' His hand reached down. He had the mask in hand when something kicked hand away. He looked up to see… 'NARUTO!'

"D-Don't you dare!" Naruto was gripping his stomach and breathing heavily.

"W-When did you wake up?" Sasuke was ready to go for a weapon if needed.

"Right b-before you d-d-did this." Naruto pointed to Sakura.

"Don't you wanna know who they are? I mean seriously. They fought with you and you don't even know who they are."

"I don't care! I-I know they fought you! They f-fought you to k-keep you away from me! Leave them alone!" Naruto closed his eyes and fell to his knees in pain.

"Pathetic. Simply pathetic." Sasuke walked on his knees over to Naruto and Sakura.

"P-Please just leave!" Naruto was crying from the pain.

"Why should I do that? Perfect opportunity to kill you. I mean you're in pain, and your bodyguard kicked the bucket. Plus I need to know who I killed. Question is…should I let you live to see who they are, or should I kill you with that question still buzzing through your head?" After a few seconds of pondering he finally came to a conclusion. "Okay, you can see, but it'll be the last thing you ever see." Naruto looked over at the body beside him.

'They're dead. What difference does it make? Right when Sasuke pulls off the mask I'll take my chance to run…well attempt to…I'll hear who they are tomorrow anyway. WAIT! What am I thinking! I'm not like that! I'll take their body and get the hell outta here now!' Right when Naruto was about make the big move, Sasuke grabbed his arm.

"Don't even think about it." He released Naruto's arm and bent down over Sakura. He pulled off her hat and dropped it immediately. Naruto's eyes widened when he saw the pink hair.

'Oh dear God. Please don't let it be who I think it is.' Naruto looked over at Sasuke who had frozen up. "I-I thought you were g-g-going to pull the mask off, not the h-hat."

"I-I w-w-was."

"Go on. Pull o-off the m-mask." Sasuke gulped and pulled the mask off slowly, only creating more suspense.

"N-N-No."

"Oh. My. God." Sasuke dropped the mask.

"I-I-I"

"Y-You killed Sakura. You killed Sakura!" Naruto started sobbing.

"B-B-But I-I-I"

"But you what!"

"I-I-I"

"I'm going to go get Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto got to his feet ignoring the pain and ran off in the direction of his sensei's house.

'Now what do I do?' Sasuke stared into Sakura's lifeless eyes and started crying. He buried his head in his hands and sobbed uncontrollably. After sitting there for what seemed like ages crying, Sasuke felt a firm hand on his shoulder and looked up to see Kakashi. 'Shit.'

"Didn't think you would've stuck around." Kakashi removed his hand from Sasuke's shoulder and walked over to Sakura.

"I already checked her pulse."

"Hm…so this was intentional?" Kakashi picked Sakura up bridal style.

"N-NO!"

"I'm taking her to the hospital. I told Naruto to go when I saw his wounds, which I'm guessing you inflicted?" Sasuke stood and looked down at his feet. "Oh and don't get any ideas. You're coming with me."

"What's the point of taking her to the hospital? She's dead."

"They can clean her up." Kakashi started walking off. Sasuke just stood there. "I told you to come with me." Kakashi's voice was harsh.

"Coming." Sasuke couldn't believe it. One minute he was killing and happy the next he was caught and depressed. One hell of a night if you ask me.

They walked for a while. Neither of them said anything. In Sasuke's head, he was killing himself. He was going insane up there. Of all the people that they could've been, it had to be her! I think you'd be going a little crazy too if you killed someone dear to you. He was just wishing that all this pain would end. He didn't want this any longer. What was he thinking? Killing all those people? Amusement? Why didn't anything/anyone knock sense into him? Wait…people did. Almost everyone he ran into did. He just chose not to listen. He was having…fun?

"We're staying here tonight." This snapped Sasuke out of his trance.

"We?"

"Yes, we. I was gonna stay and watch over them anyways, and I said that you're staying with me. So yes, we."

Sasuke didn't even realize that they were in a hospital room. There were two beds in the room. One held Naruto and the other held Sakura. Naruto was sound asleep, snoring. Sasuke went and sat by Sakura's bed. The clock on the table read 4:13AM. He rested his arms on Sakura's bed and nodded off. Kakashi took a chair on the opposite side of the room and watched the trio all night.

Sasuke woke up the next morning. He looked over at the clock. It read 11:21AM. He glanced at the over at Sakura who was…not there.

"S-Sakura!" Sasuke shot up causing the chair to fall backwards.

"SSSHHH! Calm down. Naruto is sleeping." The silver haired jounin had his right index to his lips.

"Where's Sakura?"

"They're cleaning her up. She's covered in blood and bruises." Sasuke stood his chair back up and sank down in guilt. He started sobbing again.

'I can't take this!' The Uchiha looked over at the sleeping blonde. Tears were still streaming down his face.

"I…love…ramen…"

'He sleep talks?' Sasuke heard the door creak open. He ignored it thinking it was Kakashi going to the bathroom or something. Next thing he knew he was getting slapped in the face repeatedly.

"YOU GOD DAMN BASTARD!"
