Review replies:-
Exodian: all I have to say to you is...Meh. About the view points, I don't suppose it'll bother many people, but if it does they don't have to read it do they?
Yuki: Me sweet.......strange girl.....lol only jokin. Have you got your computer yet? How was your move by the way, did it go well? I'm trying to make Sasuke fall for Saya, but I think its actually harder to make Saya fall for him.... .
Magicians of the Yami: Here's the update
JapanAnimeGirl: Thank you!
Mike pan: Thank you. I've had a very good rest and I'm ready to write again!
Without any more ado, here is the long awaited chapter 7!
Chapter 7
"Sasuke-Kun.." Began Sakura as team seven arrived back at Konoha about twelve the next night.
"No." Said Sasuke yawning, it had been a tiring day for all of them. On top of helping out for the wedding they had to get back to Konoha that night because Tsunade found out it wasn't a mission and sent Kakashi a message that they didn't have time to mess around; so they had to leave straight away.
Kakashi observed his students. They all seemed down for some reason. Naruto because Sasuke had just not responded to any of Naruto's baiting while they were sharing the room in the hidden waterfall; Sakura presumably because Sasuke had shrugged her off again; Sasuke...well he was always like that; and Saya, Kakashi couldn't quite put his finger on why she was so down. When he had know her as a child she had always been very cheery.
As they entered by the front gate, one of the ANBU standing guard stopped them. "Ichiro Saya?" He asked from behind the mask
"Yeah." Said Saya
"The fifth wants to see you in her office now."
"Fine then." Said Saya starting to walk in the opposite direction that everyone else would be going, "night everyone. I'll see you in the morning."
"Night" Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi called after her.
Saya noticed that Sasuke didn't say anything and she didn't know why it bothered her. Sasuke hadn't spoken to her since they had talked by the lake; but then again he hadn't spoken to anyone all day, and that was unusual even for him.
She had been walking for ten minutes through the dark city when she noticed footsteps behind her. She slowed to a leisurely stroll and took a quick glance behind her. Sure enough there was a dark shape behind her. She ducked into the gap between two houses, and waited till the person became level with the place she was hiding. Saya jumped out and floored them in one swift movement.
"what are you doing following me?" she said angrily; but before she could even get a look at the persons face they knocked her onto her front, twisted her right arm behind her back and held a kunai to her throat. She swallowed, realising she was completely at the mercy of whoever it was.
"You left yourself open." Said a familiar male voice in her ear, "That could get you killed."
Saya felt the person let go of her arm and remove the kunai. She stood, dusting herself off and came face to face with Sasuke, which surprised her greatly. "How come you're here? Your house's the other way."
"It's dangerous for a girl to be out this time of night on their own, even in Konoha. Kakashi sent me after you." Sasuke stated matter-of-factly.
"Oh, right. Thanks." Said Saya smiling, she began walking and Sasuke walked next to her. They didn't say anything; but Saya felt that Sasuke wasn't ignoring her anymore because if he was he could have just refused when Kakashi had told him to walk with her.
"Well, if it isn't the little genius Sasuke." Said a sneering voice, from behind Sasuke and Saya. They both turned around. They looked relaxed on the outside but they were tensed and ready for a fight if need be.
"Oh, it's you, Koutarou." Said Sasuke in an unbothered tone of voice. Facing him was a boy from his class in the academy that always used to pick fights with him. Flanking him were six well-built boys that Sasuke didn't recognise.
"What are you doing in our territory this time of night then? Do you know what happens to trespassers?" Asked Koutarou cracking his knuckles
"Konoha's a free village, we can go where we like." Said Saya coolly folding her arms
Suddenly Koutarou was all charm, "Didn't notice you there gorgeous. I'll tell you what, I'll let you go through my gangs territory if you go on a date with me."
Saya looked as if she was considering for a little while, then answered bluntly "No thanks, I don't date frogs."
A couple of Koutarou's gang snickered, and then he worked out what Saya had implied. "You bitch!" He yelled going to punch Saya. His fist was stopped on its way by Sasuke's strong grip.
Sasuke stared at Koutarou with an expressionless face, "Don't bother."
Koutarou swung his other fist at Sasuke, who caught it with his other hand. The Sasuke kicked Koutarou in the stomach, released his hands and sent him flying back into his gang.
"Let's go." Said Sasuke to Saya, like nothing had happened. Saya nodded and they began walking away from the now unconscious Koutarou.
"Hey wait a minute. You're still trespassing on our land." Shouted one of the gang
Sasuke sighed and turned around. Then held his breath, there was suddenly a lot more about ten. He turned around to go and there were also some people blocking the path and they had come between him and Saya.
Saya jumped into a nearby tree and somersaulted off it and landed next to Sasuke, who looked at her questioningly. "No, matter how good you are, you can't fight them all alone." She muttered through the corner of her mouth.
Sasuke nodded as the gang closed in around them. One ran at Sasuke and he batted them aside, then he ducked underneath the punch of another. A smaller member of the gang saw Sasuke duck and kicked him off balance. Sasuke fell onto the floor and people were on top of him.
"Sasuke!" Said Saya trying to get to him, but being beaten back by three men. This is really not good, thought Saya.
The three men advanced and Saya backed away from them, but after she took four steps backwards she reached a wall and she was boxed in. She looked around her for a way out but didn't see any.
"Sasuke, get ready!" Saya shouted to him.
Sasuke got a glimpse of her while he was fighting. He noticed her doing the same hand seals as the other day, and prepared himself.
Bird, Rat, Tiger and Dragon. "Ankoku no jutsu!" called Saya as total darkness came and surrounded everyone.
She heard the familiar confused voices from around her, but before she could activate her bloodline limit she heard someone with a very deep voice say "Sangan." This confused her and she activated hers.
She couldn't see anyone who looked like they could see so she quickly set about dispatching enemies. She reached Sasuke and bent down to talk to him.
"Sasuke, it's me, make sure you stay down because there's someone else here who may be a danger."
She saw Sasuke nod and she stood up to meet a forearm in her face, which sent her flying backwards, causing the pitch black darkness to be replaced by the street lamp lit street.
Saya spit out blood, as she stood up to face four people surrounding her, "How..?" She stuttered
"You spoke to loudly." Said one of them cockily as he approached Saya
He threw a right hook which Saya blocked. Then a left one which Saya again blocked. Leaving her vulnerable for a second which the man seized but kicking her hard in the stomach, sending her sliding along the floor backwards.
The four men approached her and she was still lying on the floor curled in a ball.
"Get away from her." Called Sasuke
"Or what?" One of them smirked.
Sasuke's eyes turned red as he activated his Sharingan, but it seemed that he didn't need it because someone between Saya and the group of four.
"Or you'll have me to deal with." Said the person in front of Saya with a deep voice. The man was dressed from head to foot in black and nothing was showing except his eyes, one of which was shut and had a scar across it. He wasn't wearing a forehead protector anywhere on him, but it was clear he was a ninja.
Without even breaking a sweat he knocked the four remaining gang members unconscious. Then he helped Saya up, "Are you alright?"
"Yeah. Thanks" She answered
"And you?" He said turning to Sasuke, who nodded.
"Who are you?" Asked Saya
"Just a nobody." He said disappearing in a puff of smoke
"What the hell was that about?" Said Saya, partly to herself and partly to Sasuke.
Sasuke shrugged his shoulders, "No idea."
"Shall we get going?" Said Saya looking at Sasuke, He nodded
They arrived at Tsunade's office without any more trouble. Saya knocked on the door and she heard a muffled "come in" from the other side. Both she and Sasuke entered.
"Huh, Sakura? What are you doing here?" Asked Saya looking around the room. Sakura and both of her parents were sitting the other side of Tsunade's desk.
"Better late than never Saya, take a seat. Sasuke could you leave us please?" Said Tsunade, Sakura's head snapped round when she heard Sasuke's name and she looked jealously at Saya as if to say 'what exactly were you doing on your own with Sasuke?'
Sasuke nodded and left the office shutting the door behind him. Saya sat down next to Hana.
"Right, well I'm glad we're all here. Hana, Rai and myself have been discussing a very important issue over the past few days and we have decided that we should tell you two."
Sakura gave a nervous glance in Saya's direction. "What's this about?" Said Sakura to her parents
"Well, Sakura. We've decided now that you're old enough we should tell you the truth." Said Hana sadly
Sakura looked at them dumbfounded, "What truth?"
"Sakura, we're not your real parents." Said Rai in an unusually dejected voice
"What?" Said Sakura looking confused
"We adopted you when you were three months at the request of your real parents."
Sakura's mouth twitched like she was about to say something, the tears started rolling down her face.
Saya felt out of place, this had nothing to do with her so she stood up ready to leave.
"Saya sit down please." Said Tsunade
"But this has nothing to do with me."
"It has everything to do with you. Now sit down." She said sternly
Saya sat down.
"There's more, Sakura." Said Hana. Sakura didn't look at her foster mother, but she still continued. "But it's not just about you, it's about Saya too. She's your sister."
"What?" Said both of them in unison. Saya looked at Tsunade
"It's true." Said the fifth in conformation
"The only reason you told me was because Saya came back wasn't it? If she hadn't come you wouldn't have told me any of this. How could you lie to me?" Shouted Sakura
"We probably wouldn't have, but that's only because we don't want you getting mixed up in any of this. We love you like our own daughter Sakura and we don't want to see you get hurt."
"That's a load of crap! If you loved me you would've told me already."
"I don't belong here, so I'm going to go." Said Saya getting up and leaving. She closed the door to more shouting, mostly Sakura's. Saya walked to the balcony overlooking Konoha. She looked up at the Hokage monument, It had change since the last time she had been in Konoha, a sculpture of Tsunade was also on there now.
Saya couldn't begin to think how Sakura was feeling; because Saya didn't know how she was feeling right now. Sure it was nice to know she had a sister, who was also someone she got on very well with, but the fact she still couldn't remember much about her family was eating her up.
"Are you alright?" Sasuke asked, the words sounded strange coming out of his mouth because it wasn't one of his usual phrases.
"Uh-huh." Said Saya absent mindedly, "I just need to think for a while."
"Night then." Said Sasuke taking the hint and leaving
"So how come all of this happened. How did I end up with you?" Said Sakura after she had calmed down a bit
"Your mother was a close friend of mine, and when you were born your parents were over the moon but unfortunately there was a bit of a family argument going on at the time. Your uncle wasn't too happy that the first two children of your generation born into the family were female. Your parents gave you to us so that your uncle wouldn't do anything stupid." Explained Hana, "And we couldn't have children anyway, so you were a blessing and we treated you like our own child."
Sakura nodded slowly, "I need to go and think." She stood up and left
Before she got to the door Tsunade called to her, "Sakura you must promise not to tell Saya any of what we said here after she left. She must remember on her own." Sakura nodded again and left
"That didn't go as well as I would've hoped." Sighed Rai, "I wonder if she'll come back home?"
"Don't worry Sakura will come around soon." Said Tsunade
Well that was chapter 7, and I have something different planned for chapter 8 so all you Naruto/Hinata fans be ready!
