Chapter 4 - Found, revealed, and loved

Sasuke walked down a dirt path to the market place, a frequent place for Sakura. He needed to talk to her. He knew she loved him, and he struggling loved her too. It was against what he had sweared to. Since his whole family was killed, he had no time for girls, but being attached to Sakura for so long made him realize that he had time for a lot of things. Well, now he knew that Minami was with Naruto! He was aiming for her, or for… Well, the other person he loved ever since he was a small child was now missing. He still remembered her. Tori. A girl with silver hair and a face like an angel. The last time he saw her, she was with a another man in a place with a lot of people. He rushed away in shock and in tears, so he couldn't remember who the man was, but he was familiar. But, that was 3 years ago. He had run away for the past two years to try and find Tori, but it was useless, so he came back to Konoha. He looked into the sky, but kept walking.

Minami had woken up at Naruto's house, on Naruto's bed, while he slept on the couch. She got up, went to where her clothes were drying, and put them on. After that, she walked to the living room and woke Naruto. It took a few minutes, but after she brushed her lips on his neck, he woke up immediately.

"Morning." Minami said with a smile. It took almost no time for the couple to start making out on the couch. After an hour or two, Naruto was on top of Minami, and their clothes were scattered upon the floor.

"Why did you stop?" Minami said, moaning joyfully. "It was a sensational feeling…"

After another hour of… err… rubbing, the phone rang. They let it ring.

After another hour, the phone had rung again. This time, Naruto answered .

"Hello." He said irritably.

"Naruto, is Minami there?" It was Ino.

"Yeah, and if you don't mind, we're in the middle of something…"

"Ohhh," She said. Naruto could swear she had a smirk on her face. "Just tell her she's late." And she hung up.

Naruto went back to the couch and plainly said, "Ino said you're late."

Minami immediately got up.

"Damn it! I forgot!" She said putting on her clothes. Before she left, she said, "We'll finish this tonight…"

Ino was waiting when Minami came running.

"Uhhh, your shirt's backwards." Ino stated.

"Thanks." Minami said, fixing her mistake.

Ino smirked. "So, you and Naruto… You finally…?"

Minami blushed like a tomato. "Yeah…"

Minami stared at Ino. By the look on her face, she was up to something, and she had a feeling it had to do with her…

"Ino, can I ask you a question?"

"You just did."

"I'm serious Ino!"

"Ask away!"

"Do you know what Sakura did to me years ago?"

Dead silence, only cut by the irritating "Ummm…" That Ino makes. Minami had never told anybody what Sakura did to her. Now, Ino, Sakura's best friend could see how much Sakura really hated Minami.

"Yeah, she ruined your hair. No big deal." Ino alleged.

"Nah. I just say that, because what Sakura did was way worse."

Ino held her breath As Minami told her what happened.

"Sakura and I were having lunch together. She poured in the supposed nectar, or what she said it was in my drink, but she knew it was poison. I drank it, and nearly died. I was one of the .5 of all that drank it that survived. The next day, a seal formed on me." Minami raised her shirt just a bit, so Ino could see s strange symbol on her stomach. "When I want to, I can make It disappear, but only for 5 hours, then it comes back." The strange symbol disappeared. "I have to kill someone every week, or else, I die, and the poison itself is passed on to someone else. But, If I die another way, someone will be cleansed of it, or in an easier way to understand they can never die poisoned. I tried to kill people in missions, so I joined ANBU. But, sometimes, you just can't find someone. When you're stressed like this, the poison takes over your body. I almost killed my comrade! I had to quit ANBU, and once or twice, I thought about joining Akatsuki." Minami paused. Ino could see it was hard for her to tell her everything. Minami continued, "There was a year, that all ninja missions were taken. That year, I took up the title of the mass murderer. I killed 56 ninja, either that were up to something, or just wanted to die, and hated the idea of suicide. I didn't kill any innocents. But, then I got used to it, and I wanted to stop thinking about it, but I couldn't. I was so stressed, the poison took over, and I killed 11 innocent ninja, 3 were Genin, just out of the academy. Tsunade understood, but she had punishments in store for me. I had to go on above A missions. That way, I could sacrifice people, but my life was in danger twice as much as it already was. The treaty stopped this year." She stopped. Ino could see why Minami hated Sakura that much.

'I can't believe it. Why did I tell her? I wasn't supposed to tell her everything!' Minami thought, yelling at herself silently.

Sasuke walked down the road, and an array of buildings were in front of him. He sighed. He'd have to go around them…

As he walked, the door to a building opened. Sasuke didn't mind who came out, because he didn't see the person, but his stomach froze when a voice said, "Sasuke! Is that you!"

He was afraid to look behind him. He knew that voice! He loved that voice!

Sasuke turned around in a hurry. "Tori…"
