Hi there! First I would like to say thank you for the reviews. I'm almost up to fifty. Yay! So happy. Okay. The happy momnet is gone now. Enjoy this chapter and please don't forget to review!
Every one woke up early that day. Sakura stared at them as they yawned and stretched. Except Sasuke of course. Sakura was thinking again. She had some payback planned today right? Hell yeah she does! Neji started his exercise with her again. This time he decided to try to punch instead of using a weapon. She quickly blocked his punch and kicked him to the ground. 'Still in tact.' he thought. Naruto laughed a bit. Ten-ten sighed. Why did he always try this? She helped him up.
"Stop doing that," Ten-ten said as she helped him up. "You never know what she might do next." Neji brushed any dirt off himself.
"I know," he said. Ten-ten rose a brow. "I just make sure that she is in tact." She sighed.
"You know she is Neji," she said. "Sakura is strong. She might as well has a sixth sense to match." Ten-ten eyed Sakura. She was unreadable as usual. Sakura walked up to Sasuke and Naruto. They knew what was going to happen. Naruto was prepared to laugh after this.
"This will be fun," Neji said smirking. He leaned on a tree with Ten-ten in his arms. She didn't blush at all. They were dating right? Naruto walked over to Hinata and they sat down. Hinata sat down on Naruto's lap. The two were comfortable that way. Sakura and Sasuke walked a little farther from each other. Sakura knew that he wanted to fight her. Sasuke wanted to fight her again to test her strength and improvement over the years just like a teacher.
"Ready?" she asked. Her eyes were unreadable. Her face was blank and her voice, cold and strong. He saw a glimpse in her eyes. Danger. He might be screwed up after this.
"Yes," he said. She got her hand on her pouch and Sasuke got some weapons from Ten-ten. His of course were left behind. Or Sakura got rid of them.
"Ready?" Naruto yelled. Oh how much he wanted to have popcorn or something for this. The two nodded. Naruto looked at Hinata, Ten-ten and Neji. They nodded too.
"1.."
Sakura glared at the Uchiha boy. He of course smirked back. This might be a fun battle after all.
"2."
'Ready to get your ass kicked again Uchiha?' she thought. Her hands were ready for any special attack. 'Looks like this will be serious.' Sasuke thought. He activated his sharingun.
"3."
Sakura wanted to kick his ass now. He deserved far more then death. Too bad she had to bring him back in one piece.
"Go!"
Sasuke grew some speed in his legs. He charged towards her. He had a kunai in his hand will Sakura still had nothing. His sharingun was active so it would be difficult to activate any jutsu. Unless, of course she can trick him again. Sasuke tried to hit her with his kunai but she used her reflexes to get it away from him.
"1.," she said. She defiantly had something planned. Sasuke had some tricks of his own. He felt that she might trick him again. 'I don't think so.' he thought. Sasuke took out a katana and tried to hit Sakura. Surprisingly she caught it with her hand. With her strength she threw it away.
"2," she said. Sasuke was waiting for strike three. It would be interesting to find out what she planned. He got another weapon ready.
"I'm waiting for strike three," he said. Sakura remained the same. Her face was calm and blank. Her eyes were unreadable with no glimpse at all.
"I know," she said. Her voice was different. "Here is number three." Sakura preformed some hand seals. Sasuke followed her. She wasn't going to cancel it at all. He might follow her at that. She preformed the seals and so did he.
"So who shall you change into?" she asked. There were two 'poofs.' Naruto watched with complete interest. Sakura was smart and probably had some good payback for Sasuke. Naruto's eyes widened at what she changed into. Sasuke had changed into his twelve year-old self. Sakura on the other hand, changed into Itachi. This would be fun. She knew how his temper is when Itachi appears. She also knew that Itachi was still alive. Sasuke's eyes widened. He felt fury irrupt inside of himself. Sasuke quickly changed back to his old self.
"Weak," Itachi said. "Won't you fight me dear brother? Don't you wish to kill me? The revenge that has trapped your mind for so long."
"Go away," Sasuke said. "Your not real!" He stared at Itachi. This couldn't be his brother. "Stop playing like this Sakura!"
"Sakura?' Itachi asked. "The emotionless one?" Itachi made a pause. Sasuke waited for his answer. He gave a nod to Itachi. " She is dead. I was replacing her this whole time."
"Lies!" Sasuke yelled. "That would be impossible." He prepared a shirinkun. Sasuke charged to Itachi who dodged with absolute ease. Neji watched with complete interest. Maybe the Haruno had great skills after all. She might be better then him.
"Can't you see what's in front of you?" Itachi asked. "She is dead. But who to blame that for?" Sasuke grew angrier. Itachi was right though. He was partly the blame. The other of course was from her abandoning parents. Sasuke charged towards Itachi again. He threw his shirinkun at Itachi who dodged. Sasuke took this chance to hit Itachi with a punch. That of course worked.
"Nicely done," Itachi said. He transformed into Sakura. "But the battle isn't finished." Sasuke stared at her with absolute anger. "Perfect." Sasuke threw punches and kicks to her. She of course dodged or blocked them all.
Naruto grinned. He knew where Sakura went in this battle. Pissing a guy off really works doesn't it? All she had to do is piss Sasuke off and get him into anger instead of concentration. Neji had a smirk on instead of a grin. Ten-ten and Hinata just watched. 'Wow.' was all they thought.
Sakura ran towards Sasuke and kicked him hard. This resulted him to fly to a tree. He stood up and coughed up some blood. Ouch. That will leave a mark but hopefully not. Sasuke didn't get any weapon out this time. It felt kind of useless. Sakura would either get rid of it in his hand or just throw it away when he threw it at her. Sasuke had nothing to think of. His mind was not concentrating at all. He started to preform hand seals.
"That old trick?" Sakura asked. She began to do the same hand seals as sasuke but faster. "Don't think so." Sasuke finally finished the hand seals and so did Sakura.
"Chidori!" he yelled. Sakura grew a chidori in her hands as well. He ran towards her. Naruto's eyes widened. This wouldn't be a good ending. He looked towards Neji who was watching them. He was holding back Ten-ten. She was worried about what would happen to Sakura. Hinata shut her eyes and buried her face into Naruto's chest. He of corse received a glare from Neji. Naruto was ready to run in the battle himself. 'Stop!' his mind yelled.
"The battle is done," Sakura said. They hit the chidoris to each other. Sakura of course had a stronger one. Sasuke felt some stinging pain all over his body. He looked over at Sakura. She was standing and her wounds were all healing. He fell to the ground. "I win again." She walked over to him and swiped away his wounds again. She wasn't panting at all. 'So much chakra.' he thought still panting from exhaustion. "Let's go."
"Sakura?" Hinata asked. "Are you alright?" Sakura gave a small nod. She looked over to Ten-ten and Neji's direction. Ten-ten ran up to her and hugged her.
"I thought you might die Sakura!" she said. Ten-ten felt Sakura's skin. It was cold like death. "Are you alright?" she asked. "Your so cold."
"I'm fine," Sakura said. "I'm always like this. Now let's go." Neji shook his head. Wasn't he the captain.
"I should be saying that," Neji said. "I'am the captain after all." Sakura didn't say anything. Naruto helped Sasuke up. He looked over at Sakura's direction. 'Cold skin?' he thought. 'Is that even possible?'
"We do have to go to Tsunade you know," Naruto said. He looked at Neji who of course nodded. The dobe was right. "Come on Hinata." Hinata walked up to him and he wrapped his arm around her waist. Neji glared again. "You shouldn't do that. It's kind of getting annoying," Neji said. Ten-ten sighed and took Neji's hand. He turned all his attention to her.
"Let's go Neji," she said. "We have a long day ahead of us." He gave a sigh and a nod. 'What could happen next?' he thought.
Sakura jumped from tree to tree. The rest were walking. Sasuke was in the middle of the two couples. They kept a close eye on him. Neji began to use his 'in tact' exercise on Sakura agin. He threw kunais and shirikuns at her. She dodged them all with ease. Ten-ten sighed. Was it really that entertaining to try and hit a woman? Sakura didn't say anything at all the whole time. She wasn't in deep thought though. She was a quiet person after all.
"When are we gonna be there!" Naruto whined. Sasuke smirked. 'Before a dobe always a dobe.' he thought. He looked over at Sakura. She was jumping trees. 'Lost in thought or something?' he thought again. Sasuke noticed that Neji was throwing kunais and shirinkun at Sakura. He gave Neji a very strong glare and Neji suddenly felt a small shiver in his spine.
"Stop staring Uchiha," Neji said. "I'm not gay." Naruto laughed at this. Ten-ten and Hinata giggled. Sasuke looked away. Sakura still didn't say anything. She put on her mask. 'Much better.' she thought. Sakura put away her hair to. It was about time to cut it again. Neji watched as Sakura disguised herself. "Why hide your appearance?" he asked.
"Fan boys," she answered. Neji understood. 'Fan boys?' Sasuke thought. 'Since when?' His thoughts were interrupted by Naruto.
"She is quite popular with them," Naruto explained. "She has more then any one could have thought." Sakura glared at him.
"Don't talk," she said. "Remember the rights you were given." Naruto gave a small nod. 'Sorry.' he thought. 'I nearly forgot.'
"Were almost here," Neji said. Finally they can just go home. Of course where would Sasuke go?
So how was this chapter. He.He. I defiantly have something planned for Sasuke. Don't forget to review. Tune in probably tomorrow at the usual time for the next chapter. Bye for now!
