Chapter 14

The Third Stone Reveled

A man stood in an old, run down warehouse. He looked out the smudged window at the forest behind the glass. As he did so, he rolled two rocks around in his hand. One of the stones was pure white. It was like a diamond, but even more breathtaking. It seemed to attract all light around it, and release double what it had taken in. The other was a stone of the same shape and it too was breathtaking, but not in the same way as the first. It took your breath in greed, and didn't bother giving it back, just as it did to the light. The two stones rolled around between the man's pale, slender fingers. Suddenly, a puff of smoke appeared behind the man. When it cleared, a man with messy white hair knelt on one knee, his head bowed low. "Master." The man did not turn away from the window, and he did not stop fiddling with the rocks. "You see these rocks in my hand? They are both beautiful, are they not? But still, total opposites…" He raised them to his eyes, admiring them even further. "So beautiful, yet so destructive. But, to achieve my goal, the third beauty is needed." He whipped around, glaring at the man with his snake like eyes. "Now, give me good news my servant." The man looked up at his master, the sun shining off his glasses as he gave a small smirk. "I have found the whereabouts of the third stone." The snake man nodded, giving an evil smile. "Good. Now, go bring it to me Kabuto." Kabuto nodded, then bowed again. "Oh, and Kabuto. Don't go killing anyone now. That's my job." He nodded with a wild smirk, and then disappeared, just as he had arrived. Orochimaru looked back out the window. "Soon… very soon."

Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto walked to school together. Let's just say, it wasn't the social point of the day. Sasuke and Sakura stood on opposite sides of Naruto, which was rather strange. Usually, Sasuke stood beside Sakura, claming Naruto was too much of a dobe to stand near him. This would usually be fallowed by a long, heated argument between the two, and end with Sakura hitting each over the head. But, today Sakura and Sasuke stood as far away from each other as possible. Each had their head turned in the opposite direction of their friends, acting as if they were focusing their view on a very important flower or rock of some sort. Naruto looked from one side to the other, wonder what was so interesting their gaze wouldn't leave it. As they reached the school, Naruto sighed, giving up in trying to find this amazing thing.

Sakura still didn't look at Sasuke once they reached school. Yes, they were supposed to act as boyfriend and girlfriend, and this might get people talking, but she was not going to stand near him, and that was final. She still couldn't figure out what had happened yesterday. 'Why did he just… kiss me?'

'Duh, he is so into you, for real.'

'No he's not. He can't be… can he?'

'Baka! Have you not looked at yourself lately girl? You've grown, and frankly… you're hot now!'

'Wow, thanks for being so scuttle.'

'Anyways, my point, why would he not like you?'

'Well… I'm just too… normal, weird, freaky-'

'Ok, point taken. You are a bit messed up, but at least you're not one of his crazed fan girls.'

'True. But that kiss… it was so…'

'Hot?'

'No! Well, yes, but not what I meant. It just seemed so… intimate. I felt as if I could tell how he felt about me, just in a kiss.'

'Oh, maybe he likes you more then I thought. Hum… -grins slyly-'

'You stop right there! Yes, I like him, and yes he maybe, note I said maybe, likes me too, but don't go taking this out of proportion!'

'Oh, I won't… yet.'

As the three walked up to the school doors, they stopped and sat in their normal spots on the railing, just outside the building. Sasuke still wouldn't look in Sakura's direction. 'Why did I do that? Urg, what's wrong with me.'

'Well, judging by the symptoms, you have a crush.'

'Oh really? Thanks. I had no idea.'

'No, I mean a real crush, with potential, with… dare I say it… feeling.'

'Wait… what are you implying?'

'You're in love with her you loser!'

'WHAT! No I'm not! How could you even think that? Me, Sasuke Uchiha, have feelings, love, for anyone? No way!'

'Say what you want, you still love her.'

'No I don't!'

'Sure…'

'Urg! I'm not in the mode today!'

'Fine, but tell me this, what did you feel?'

'…what do you mean…'

'I mean, how did you feel when you kissed her?'

'…well, good. Real good. Actually… better then I ever felt before. Kind of weird, my stomach turned, but in a good way. I felt like… I wished it would never end.'

'Dude, sorry to break it to ya, but you're so in love.'

'No.I'm.Not! but…'

Suddenly, all the teens sat up straight, as if they had just been called to by the principle. They glanced at each other, totally defeating the whole purpose of not talking on the trip here, then nodded. They quickly got up and ran around the corner of the building. Once they got to the back wall, they all stopped. Each had a confused look on their face as they looked frantically from side to side. "Where did it go?" Naruto asked, waving his head around wildly looking for what they had sensed earlier. Suddenly, a puff of smoke appeared before them. The three got into fighting stance, read for whoever might step out of the fog. As the black cloud disappeared, a man was revealed. He had messy white hair, and a pair of glasses that caught the sun's early morning rays. His smirk was clearly visible, and clearly evil. "Ah, the three trouble makers." The man began, still smirking. "It seems you've killed your fair share of our agents." Sasuke smirked. "What's it to you?" The man chuckled. "Well, they were my co-workers until you dealt with them. And now, you need to come with me." Now Naruto smirked. He snorted, "Ok… why would we do that?" The man shrugged. "Oh well, I tried asking." Suddenly, he wiped out a rolled up scroll. He quickly pulled the knot undone as the paper rolled out. He brought his hand up to his face, and then bit his thumb. Then, he brought it down to the paper, drawing a Japanese calligraphy symbol in blood over the normal text (note, the normal text is still Japanese. Just wanted you to know). Before any of the group could react, the man had finished marking out his spell in his own blood, then he jabbed his hand down toward the ground.

As he did so, each of the teens felt as if they were in the middle of an earthquake. The ground shook wildly, and they began to stumble in confusion and shock. Then, just as quickly as it had started, the ground found itself stable again. Sakura looked around, trying to figure out what happened, and quickly found the answer to her question. They were no longer in the back of the school anymore, but in the middle of an old, run down warehouse. The ceiling was falling in, and the walls had holes throughout. Quickly, she turned to the man with a glare in her eyes. "Where did you take us?" He laughed. "Smart girl, but then again, not so smart. Do you really think I'm just going to tell you where we are? Ha! No reinforcements for you three! And that means, this fight will be your last." Sakura continued to glare at him, when suddenly, a figure appeared out of the shadows. She didn't even notice he was there at first; it was as if he blended in with the darkness. "So, these are the three you told me about?" he said slyly. She could tell by his voice he was planning something, and it wasn't good. "Well, let's see how good they really are." He waved his right hand in the air, and two buff men came into the scene.

They charged at Sakura and Naruto, as the Kabuto began fighting Sasuke. The man in the trench coat stood on the sidelines, watching the fight with a twinkle in his snakelike eyes. Sakura felt shivers go down her spine when she had the misfortune of turning, and seeing his gruesome face. She continued fighting with the man before her, and she quickly realized he was of much higher level then the men who attacked the school. He jabbed a punch at her head, but she quickly ducked, kicking him in the gut. He whipped out a kunai, but she was two steps ahead. She had already taken hers out, and it had just found it's way into his arm. He screamed in pain as she dug it in further. Suddenly, she realized he had begun forming something in his hands. When she saw the bright light of an energy ball, she quickly made a few hand signals. Right before he jerked his hand forward into her heart, she muttered a few words, completing her jutsu. When he hit her, his eyes widened, finding the pain she should be feeling engulf himself. He slowly fell to his knees, and then toppled over onto the floor. His face was a ghostly pale, his pulse gone. Sakura sighed. 'That was harder then I thought.' She then brought her arm up to her forehead, whipping away the sweat that had formed.

Suddenly, she heard a cry of pain. She quickly whipped around, seeing Sasuke on the ground, his arms pulled behind his back, almost on the verge of breaking completely. "Sasuke!" She called, running forward toward him. Suddenly, as she took her first step, a pain surged through her arms. Many kunai had been thrown in her direction. They caught her clothing and pinned her to the wall. Some cut through the skin in her arms and legs, giving her a few very deep gashed. She gasped in pain, and then opened her eyes. She quickly realized she was stuck. If she tried to move, the kunai would cut deeper into her skin. She looked up, glaring. Orochimaru stood, still no the sidelines, smirking wildly. "Tsk tsk tsk. Sasuke, look what you have done." Sasuke turned to him, still being held down by Kabuto. Naruto was in the worse case at the moment. He had been knocked out when he heard Sasuke's scream and turned. "What are you taking about you freak?" He muttered. Orochimaru began walking through the group of them. "Do you not know? Did she not tell you?" He turned toward Sakura, shaking his finger. "Tsk tsk. Not telling your partner about your bloodline? How can you live with yourself." Sakura continued to glare at him as he turned back to Sasuke. "Sakura here has a special ability, just like you and your sharingan. Please tell me you told her about your bloodline. No? Well, that's not the matter at the moment. Anyways, her family has the Chuniran or the third eye. This is only theoretical, of coarse, but it does allow the user to see a short ways into the future. This is very useful in battle, knowing what your opponent is going to do before they do. Very useful indeed. But look what you did. You made her third eye fogged, and now look what state she's in." He turned to Sakura, stuck on the wall, blood streaming down her arms, legs and face. Sasuke, his eyes now red, turned his view back to Orochimaru. "What are you talking about? What did I do?" Orochimaru smirked. "You clouded her third eye boy. She was to concerned with you and your safety to pay attention to it." Sasuke tuned to Sakura, who tried not to look in his direction, but it was a hard task. The way the kunai surrounded her face, it was really the only direction she could turn her head. 'It was my fault.' He lowered his head, feeling a large ton of guilt find it's way on his already heavy shoulders.

Orochimaru then walked over to Sakura. "And I would have thought you'd be more of a challenge. Even your parents did a better job then this." At his words, Sakura raised her head. Her eyes suddenly filled with hate and anger. "What did you say?" Orochimaru smirked. "Your parents where better then this, but still, it wasn't enough in the end, was it?" Sakura's eyes widened. "You bastard!" It took everything in Sakura to hold herself back, to not jump forward, tearing her skin, just to reach his scrawny neck and cut it open. But, she restrained her self. Then, Orochimaru laughed. "Spunky one, aren't you. You know what, you amuse me Sakura Haruno. Maybe I'll keep you for myself." Sakura shivered in disgust. "I'd never be with you, you damn ass!" She jerked forward slightly, cutting herself further on the sharp daggers, but she quickly retreated. "Oh really?" He then raised his hand, and suddenly, a scream filled the air. "Sasuke!" Sakura looked past Orochimaru and toward the raven-haired boy, who had just had a rude awakening. His arms had just been pulled even further behind him, almost snapping them off completely. Orochimaru smiled. "When I have your precious Sasuke, you'd do anything for me." He then walked up to her, so they were eye to eye. She glared evilly at him, "I said never." He was about to raise his hand, but Sakura saw it. She quickly gasped, and then her anger retreated, replaced with fear. He smirked. "Thought so."

Suddenly, a voice was heard from behind. "Leave… her… alone…" Sakura's eyes began to quake. "Sasuke…" Orochimaru smirked at the boy. "Why should I?" He brought his cold hand up to her cheek, and she tensed up at the touch. He felt so cold, so rough, so threatening. But still, she knew if she reacted, he could hurt Sasuke further. She couldn't let that happen… He traced his hand up and down her fragile check. Then, he stuck out his tongue, which found it's way up her neck and to her ear. She twitched in disgust, almost vomiting right then and there. But still, she didn't move, she didn't yell, she didn't protest. She wasn't going to harm Sasuke. Then, he brought his face in to hers. His dry lips meat hers, but she closed her mouth as tightly as possible. Then, he forced his tongue toward her mouth. He was too overpowering, forcing her lips to move apart. As his tongue flicked around inside her mouth, her eyes began forming tears. She whimpered, and saw behind Orochimaru's shoulder, a kneeling Sasuke, staring stunned in their direction. She felt as if she was betraying him, even though it was only one kiss he had with her, it was still betraying him. She wished she could turn her head away, that she didn't need to see him, but she couldn't move. So, there she was, kissing someone right before his eyes, seeing his reaction as she did so. She couldn't take it.

Then, he pulled away, and she breathed in as much fresh air as she could. Then, he began unbuttoning her blouse. Soon, it was open; all she wore under was a simple bra. Her bare stomach was exposed to the cool air rushing through the warehouse. Orochimaru then began tracing his hand from her gut upward, slowly and roughly. She held back her cries, and began breathing much, much more heavily. Suddenly, just before he found his way under her bra, she let the formed pile of tears rush down her face. "Stop touching her." Orochimaru stopped, his hand just at the edge of her bra. He turned to see Sasuke, his eyes blood red, glaring at him. He smirked. "Why?" Sasuke continued to glare. Sakura looked at him, tears still rushing down her face. "Sasuke…" Orochimaru then began moving his hand forward once more. The tips of his fingers where about to slip under her bra, when Sasuke spoke again. This time, he was more firm, more aggravated. "Stop. Touching. My. Sakura." Sakura and Orochimaru both turned toward him. Sakura's face was now damp, with both tears and blood. "S-sasuke…" Orochimaru smirked. "You're Sakura now is she. Well, no matter, once I get the last stone, she'll be all mine. I'll make you watch us as torture, and then I'll have you slowly killed. How does that sound?" He then turned back to Sakura. "We'll be together soon." Then, he quickly jabbed his right hand forward into her chest. She screamed in pain as he pulled his hand back out. She was left with a gapping hole near her heart, blood rushing out of it freely. There, in Orochimaru's hand, was a small pink stone. "Now look what you did. You got blood all over it." He then walked away, grabbing his kunai as he went.

Sakura feel to the cold floor, breathing deeply, but it kept getting harder and harder to do. Sasuke had quickly turned the tables, killing Kabuto in a swift jerk of his kunai to the heart. Then, he ran toward Sakura who was lying on the ground, coughing blood. He knelt down besides her, lifting her head slightly. "Sakura. Are you ok?" She coughed more blood to the floor, and then muttered. "I… can't… breath." Sasuke looked down at her wound. Orochimaru had used a jutsu to faze his hand into her, but still, it left a large gap. One could only imagine what it had done to her heart. Sasuke pulled out some thin strings, barely visible if light wasn't bouncing off them. The then moved his fingers, and the string fallowed. They immediately fazed into Sakura. He moved his fingers slightly, sweating like mad. Soon, he pulled his hand away from her as she began breathing normally again. "Better?" She smiled and nodded.

Naruto had just woken up, and then caught his attacker off guard, nailing him in the back of the skull as he tumbled to his death. But, Naruto didn't have any energy left after this attack, so he too fell to his knees. Now, only Orochimaru remained.

He stood before them, smirking wildly. He had three stones in his hand, one white, one black, and one pink. "Now, you will witness the real power of the Three Stone of Life!" He forced his hand outward, and the stones began floating in mid air above his outstretched palm. They rotated slightly, catching the light coming in from outside. Suddenly, there was a bright flash. Orochimaru laughed evilly, knowing the world was now his. He had won, and the so-called avengers had failed, miserably. But then, as the light cleared, his eye's widened in shock. "No!" Three clinks where heard as three kunai dropped to the floor before Orochimaru's feet. Shards began floating down to the floor as Orochimaru fell to his knees. He outstretched his hands, catching a few bits of each of the three stones. "They… they can't do that… you can't just break the stones…" Suddenly, he looked up, seeing Sakura standing above him. Her face was firm, yet her eyes filled with hate. "And this, is for my parents." She took her hand, now holding an orb of pink energy, and forced it into his heart. He screamed in pain, and then he was gone. It truly did end with Earth.

She turned away as his limp body fell to the ground, right beside his precious stones' remains. Naruto and Sasuke stood at the warehouse exit. Naruto didn't know what happened at all, and Sasuke wasn't really sure what to say. Sakura then smiled at the two. "Nice aim guys." They smiled in return. Then, the three walked out of the old building. "Well, I really have no idea where we are!" Sakura said, hands on her hips. "Looks like we're going to be late for class." Naruto sighed. "Not another detention!"
