Title: Chapter 21
"The body found in the bay area is still pending further investigation. More information will be broadcasted later tonight on Tokyo News at 10 o' clock at night," a young reporter in his mid thirties stood in front of the bay area where the body was found.
Sakura switched the channel with her remote.
"Nothing good is on, where are all the soap operas?" Sakura asked the television as if it were alive. Sighing, Sakura turned off the television and placed her remote on the table in front of her.
Sakura leaned back against her chair and looked at the television and was horrified when she saw a dark shadow behind her reflecting on the television screen.
The pink-haired girl turned around and immediately shot up from her seat and ran to sliding window to try to get out. She turned around and dodged a bullet from the intruder.
"Help! Help!" Sakura tried to open the doors but it wouldn't budge. Sakura turns around helplessly facing the stranger.
The intruder was dressed in dark clothing with a hood over the stranger's face. The shadow lifted off the hood and Sakura placed a hand over her mouth when she saw who the killer was.
"Kaiya?" Sakura squinted her eyes to make sure if it was the person she thought it was.
Kaiya grinned revealing her lustrous white teeth.
"It's mee," Kaiya answered Sakura in a singing tone.
Her voice sent Sakura a chill down her spine.
"What do you want?" Sakura tried to look around for something to defend her from Kaiya's weapon.
"You want to know what I want?" Kaiya moved toward Sakura, and Sakura ran to the other side of the room and Kaiya grabbed her hand and pulled her to the ground.
On her back, Sakura pleaded to Kaiya.
"PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!" Sakura screamed.
Kaiya pulled her gun out and cocked the weapon. Sakura could hear the bullets move in the gun.
"What I want, is what I wanted to happen a long time ago," Kaiya gazed at the sparkling black coat of the firearm. Kaiya slowly arched her arm toward Sakura and tried to make a clear shot at her.
"I want you DEAD!" Kaiya blew her gun.
Sakura screamed and ran toward the door. Kaiya missed her target by an inch.
"Everyone's coming," Hinata informed the others as they got into Neji's platinum convertible.
"What's Sakura's cell number?" Kaede asked.
Right then, a large vehicle pulled up beside Neji's car.
Ino popped out from the passenger seat window and yelled out, "WHERE IS SHE?"
"She's at Sakura's house! WE HAVE TO GET THERE NOW! NOW!" Shikamaru told Neji to push the pedal hard. He did.
Ino's car followed behind them.
Ino, in her car, with Ten Ten and Lee in the back seat and Naruto, got out her cell phone and dialed Sakura's cell phone.
"Pick up the phone, damn it!" Ino yelled as she feverishly served the car to the right ignoring the stop light. Cars almost smashed against each other as Ino made her way down the street to Sakura's mansion.
"Hey lady, watch it!" a driver honked at her from behind.
Ino was driving crazy. She didn't make any signals to the neighboring cars and turned sharply to the left paying no attention to another red light.
"Sakura damn it! Pick up the phone!" Ino bursted out in tears. She was concerned for Sakura's life.
Sakura was at the door and Kaiya was behind her. She heard her cell phone ring, Sakura instantly ran over to her desk and grabbed the phone but Kaiya swiped it away from her hand.
"No one can help you now, Sakura," Kaiya smirked at her, laughing.
Sakura's cell phone continued to ring.
"Why are you doing this, Kaiya? WHY?" Sakura cried out. Tears strolled down her face as she stood in front of the person whom she thought was a friend.
"You stole Sasuke away from me!" Kaiya screeched in a shrilly tone.
"What?" the pink-haired girl answered.
"I never stole him away from you, you know that!" Sakura made a few steps toward Kaiya in a calm manner.
"Come on, Kaiya, you know that I'm not like that. You've known me for more than a year, tell me that I'm not that kind of person!" Sakura persuaded Kaiya.
Wet orbs dropped from Kaiya's face.
"SHUT UP BITCH!" Kaiya fired at Sakura.
"The phone died," Ino whispered as she looked at her cell phone.
Could Sakura be dead?
"Ino, keep on driving! We'll get there, just don't worry about it!" Lee called out to her from the backseat.
Ino told Naruto to call the police as she swung over to the left and then the right lane.
Sakura cried for help when the bullet went past her ear into the wall. She quickly ran down the stairs as Kaiya followed her.
"You can run," Kaiya cackled.
Sakura went into the living room and then to the dining room.
"But you can't hide," Kaiya walked swiftly.
Sakura reached the kitchen and hide behind the counters. She peered from the top to see if Kaiya was there. She wasn't.
Looking around, Sakura quietly got up and opened a drawer and got out the sharpest knife she could find. When she heard footsteps, Sakura slowly pushed in the drawer and got on her knees with the blade close to her face for protection.
Sakura could feel her heart beating rapidly, pounding angrily against her chest. Sweat beads slid from her forehead as she tried to take soft, quick breaths.
The teenage girl could hear footsteps in the kitchen, possibly behind the counter.
Sakura closed her eyes.
The footsteps disappeared, and Sakura opened one of her eyes.
Sakura took in a deep breath and got up. Right there, she saw Kaiya who has been faking her footsteps. Kaiya fired at her.
"You actually thought that you could get away from ME?" Kaiya hysterically snorted. She rubbed the smooth surface of the revolver against her face and smiled.
She shot Sakura.
Kaiya smiled satisfied and sauntered to the dining room when she felt a sharp blade jab into her left side.
She let out a sharp gasp as she turned around to see Sakura breathing heavily over her. Sakura looked exhausted, with a few blood wounds on her forehead. She was leaning against the wall for support.
"Don't underestimate me, bitch," Sakura wiped her bleeding lip. She ran to the foyer and called for help.
The phone line was dead.
Sakura felt Kaiya hit her in the back, knocking her down. Sakura fell on her chest against the carpet and cried out in pain. She tried to crawl up but Kaiya kicked her on the side rolling Sakura onto her back, facing Kaiya.
"That was a sharp move there," Kaiya breathed sharply as she touched her deep wound from the knife Sakura stabbed her with. Blood was flowing freely from Kaiya's side but Kaiya tried to block it with her sweater. She tied it around her waist and struggled to stand upright towering over Sakura.
"Whatever I did, I'm sorry," Sakura begged Kaiya to stop.
"There's nothing you can do," Kaiya's eyes bore into Sakura's.
"You're scared," Kaiya snickered at her, "Sakura, is actually scared," Kaiya threw her head back laughing.
Sakura got up and staggered her steps to the door, but Kaiya hooked Sakura's neck with Kaiya's arm.
"Uck…ack…u…a," Sakura couldn't breathe.
Kaiya squeezed her grip across Sakura's neck, choking her to death.
Sakura could feel her lips go blue and held Kaiya's arm tightly. She tried to pull it off of her, but Kaiya's grasp was too strong for her.
Sakura arched her face against Kaiya's arm and bit her in the flesh.
Kaiya cried out in ache as she pulled her arm from Sakura. Sakura held her neck and started to cough, breathing in the fresh air. The pink-haired girl breathed with difficulty, as she tried to take in the air.
"You have no idea, how you had it easy, you don't even know what I had to go through to see you and Sasuke all over each other," Kaiya made a disgusted face.
She went over and grabbed Sakura by the face and twisted her hair with her two hands and pulled them toward her as Sakura screamed out in pain.
"STOP IT! STOP IT! PLEASE!" Sakura pleaded.
"Why should I stop? I'm having fun with you! We should play more often Sakura," Kaiya answered in a childish manner.
"NO…PLEASE," Sakura grabbed her hair and tried to drag it from Kaiya.
Kaiya pushed Sakura against the wall and pinned her on her back. Sakura was face to face with Kaiya.
For the first time, Sakura looked into those dark eyes of Kaiya's and finally saw through her.
She wasn't the quiet nice girl you thought she was.
Sakura was misled.
"I'm sorry, please, Kaiya, PLEASE let me go!" Sakura shoved Kaiya away from her, but Kaiya lunged at her and restrained Sakura from moving.
"There's nothing you can do, Sakura, and finally, no one is here to save you," Kaiya was glad at the fact.
Sakura shook her head in denial, "NO, you're wrong!"
"Oh?" Kaiya held Sakura more firm and dug her nails through Sakura's skin.
"AHHHH!" Sakura closed her eyes and called out in torture.
"No one is here to save you, Sakura. I finally have my wish," Kaiya held Sakura down and with another hand, she pulled out the firearm and positioned the gun in front of Sakura's forehead.
"Goodbye," Kaiya smiled.
As she pulled the trigger, Sakura moved her head and punched Kaiya's wound.
Kaiya dropped the pistol and cringed over her wound.
"Damn it," she bellowed.
"DID YOU CALL THE POLICE?" Shikamaru called Ino.
"NARUTO DID, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?" Ino yelled at the phone as she had a conversation with Shikamaru.
"I'm almost there! Where are you?" Shikamaru answered.
"I'm almost there too, I just need to…" Ino dropped the phone and pulled over to the right lane cutting off an old lady in a green Volvo.
The senior honked the car horn at her.
Ino didn't make a signal at the other cars and swerved to the left lane and into the carpool lane where other vehicles began to curse at her.
Naruto rolled down the window and put his head toward the window as the wind streamed against his blonde hair.
"SHUT UP ASSHOLES!" Naruto held up the finger at everyone, including the senior lady, and then rolled the window back up.
"Hurry, Ino!" Ten Ten reached Ino's backseat and leaned forward.
"I'm hurrying! HOLD ON!" Ino honked the horn at the huge grocery truck in front of her. It was going at least 40 miles per hour, and Ino was going double its speed.
"FUCKING TRUCK!" Ino moved to the right land cutting off another car and pressed her foot against the pedal moving at 150 miles per hour zooming past the truck and then went back to the carpool lane.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" the trucker called out to Ino.
Ino ignored him and continued to drive on the freeway.
Suddenly, on Ino's rearview mirror, she saw headlights on a vehicle whirling around.
"Shit," Ino looked at the police officer's car.
Sakura ran toward the door but Kaiya shot the doorknob off, scaring Sakura off.
"No one will save you, Sakura, so GIVE IT UP!" Kaiya called out to her.
Sakura dashed to the study room to look for the gun her father stored in his safe. When she arrived into the room, she closed the door on Kaiya and locked the door.
"OPEN UP THE DAMN DOOR!" Kaiya slammed her firearm against the door.
Sakura hurriedly wiped her father's papers onto the floor and looked on his desk and in his drawers.
No gun.
Sakura frantically looked around. She knew time was running out.
Kaiya stood back from the door and pointed her gun at the door and shot multiple bullets at the doorknob to get it to open.
Sakura screamed at the sound of the shots and hurried to a small shelf and tried to look for a lock.
She found it.
The pink-haired girl tried to unlock the safe but Kaiya came in.
"Thought you could get away from me? Think again," Kaiya shot at Sakura but she rolled on the carpet behind the desk.
"Damn it, Sakura, just let me kill you!" Kaiya went over to the back of the desk.
When Sakura saw Kaiya she pushed the movable chair at Kaiya, and she fell backwards.
Sakura made a run for it out of the room and Kaiya quickly got up and pursued her target.
Sakura ran for the backdoor and slammed it shut on Kaiya to stall her. She sprinted to the backyard. It was dark. She looked around and the neighborhood stood still as if it didn't hear the numerous gun shots in her house.
She dashed for the gate but she heard footsteps. Sakura ran over to some of her patio benches and hid behind it in the dark.
Sakura peeked through the holes of the benches and saw Kaiya look around her backyard. She saw Kaiya a few yards away from her, and she had her weapon with her. Sakura looked around to see if she had the knife with her.
Damn it, she thought. She left it in the kitchen.
"Come out, come out, wherever you are!" Kaiya's voice let out small white puffs of warm air into the night.
Kaiya paced through the backyard with her gun pointing in front of her, ready to aim.
She made her way to the garden where there were some fruit trees trying to see if Sakura was hiding behind them.
Sakura wasn't there.
Sakura still hid behind the benches and watched Kaiya move around.
It was cold out, and Sakura could feel a sneeze coming.
Shit, no, don't sneeze, Sakura thought to herself.
Kaiya was moving toward the pool to see if Sakura was in the water holding her breath.
Sakura wasn't there.
Sakura let out a small sneeze.
Kaiya's head moved up and turned around to try to see where it came from.
"I know you're here, Sakura, just come out," Kaiya held her handgun close to her.
Sakura sneezed again and cursed herself.
Kaiya approached the bench and pulled it away from her and saw Sakura kneeling on the ground.
"There you are," Kaiya smiled.
Sakura got up and ran away from her. Kaiya followed and shot her gun but missed. It hit the fruit tree instead.
"If you're going to play hide and seek, at least find someplace where I won't find you, that way, it's more fun," Kaiya pursued Sakura.
Sakura turned around and saw Kaiya coming after her. Gasping, Sakura walked backwards and screamed when she fell into her swimming pool.
Sakura's head popped out from the water and splashed her legs and arms over the water gasping for air.
Kaiya stood at the edge of the pool and Sakura splashed water at her to make an escape.
"Splashes? You can do better than that Sakura," Kaiya blew bullets into the water trying to injure Sakura.
Sakura dove into the water and swam in the water as bullets went past her.
The shells streamed into the water like rockets. Dozens of them were in the pool, targeting her. Sakura was running out of air, and she knew she shouldn't get up. Kaiya was up there and she would shoot her head off.
Sakura tried to hold her breath as long as she could. She was wading in the water near the six feet area of the pool. Then she felt a huge splash in the water.
Sakura turned her body to see Kaiya jump into the pool with her.
Blood spread into the water.
Sakura got up for air and Kaiya went up behind her and pushed her head down to suffocate her.
"If I can't use my gun on you, I'll use my hands," Kaiya said. She held Sakura's head down the water as Sakura's arms tried to move Kaiya out of the way.
Sakura kicked Kaiya and went up for a quick breath. Kaiya swam after her and lunged after Sakura pushing her under the water.
The two girls were wrestling each other in the deep end of the pool. They were at each other's necks trying to choke the other to death.
Kaiya let go to get a quick breath and waded in the water pursuing Sakura.
Sakura was gasping for air and swam over to the corner of the pool to get out.
Kaiya pulled her down, but Sakura held onto the rail and got herself out.
Sakura got up and her wet clothes held her down and she moved slowly.
"Give it up, Sakura, you'll never make it," Kaiya got up and kicked Sakura down.
Sakura fell and cringed onto the ground.
Her hair was damp and her clothes were soaking wet.
The pink-haired girl got up and pressed Kaiya to the ground also. Sakura struggled to keep herself up and waddled to the gate, but she got knocked out unconscious by Kaiya's gun.
Sakura fell onto the ground.
Kaiya stood up and held herself up and breathed heavily. Her whole body was wet and the blood on her side trickled down her pants. Her blood soon made a pool of red onto the ground.
Kaiya smiled.
She finally got what she wanted.
There she was, Sakura was unconscious on the ground. She was helpless.
No one can save her now.
Kaiya slowly lifted up her gun and pointed it at Sakura. She adjusted the grip onto the firearm and moved closer to Sakura's body.
Kaiya aimed the weapon at Sakura and grinned ominously.
"Say goodbye, bitch…" Kaiya pulled the trigger.
