Disclaimer: Like I said before, the Naruto characters are not mine. I did change the storyboard for beauty and the beast a bit, but it still doesn't belong to me, dang it!

Chapter 6: Attack on the Palace

Sakura arrived at Konoha late at night. The town was very quiet and no one was seen on the streets. She quickly rode on Widow to her house were her father was lying hurt and bleeding on the ground. After a few minutes of riding, she reached her house, tied Widow to a pole, and ran inside.

"Father!" She cried when she found her father lying helpless on the floor, and hardly breathing.

"S-Saku-r-ra." Kakashi spoke.

"Shh, I'll help you father." She immediately went into the kitchen and grabbed the first aid kit. When Sakura returned back, she started to bandage and clean some of the cuts, bruises, or blood that were on Kakashi. He sat up off the ground and thanked his daughter.

"Thank you Sakura, but I have one question," Sakura nodded for him to continues on. "How did you escape that awful, arrogant, and terrorizing beast!" Sakura grew a little angry at her father's words towards the beast.

"Stop it father, he's not as mean as you think he is!" Sakura defended.

"Sakura, what are you talking about, he's a-" Kakashi was interrupted by Sakura. "He's a lonely person, looking for compassion and a friend, and he's the one that let me go," Sakura lowered her head. Kakashi's eyes widened. "Oh my…" was all he said.

"It's okay, well, anyway, who did this to you father?" Sakura asked. She held her head up again.

"You'd be surprised to know that it was half of the village men and Lee." Kakashi quietly said Lee's name. Sakura was shocked that Lee would do such a thing. "I'm glad that you got out of there in time though." Kakashi said with relief. Sakura looked confused. "What do you mean that I got out of there in time? Is something going to happen to the Palace!" Sakura stood up off the floor and looked serious. Kakashi nodded. Sakura then ruffled through some things and found the mirror. Now Kakashi was confused.

"What's the mirror for?" He questioned.

"Look." Sakura said. "I wish to see the palace!" Sakura screamed into the mirror and green and blue lights surrounded the mirror. Inside the mirror appeared an image. It was the castle, and tons of people were surrounding it. Sakura and Kakashi cringed as they saw torches, knives, and many other weapons.

"Father, their going to attack the palace, with Sasuke and the others still in it!" Sakura cried. "I have to help them!" she screamed. She was about to walk out the door when Kakashi stopped her.

"Sakura!" He called. "What?" "You better come back, alive and well." Kakashi smiled to his daughter and she left with a smile on her face too. She untied Widow and hopped on her back. Together they rode back to the palace, in the dark and rainy night.

At the Palace ( Before Sakura returned home)

Sasuke and the others were sad and a little depressed about Sakura's departure. The prince got up from his seat and left to go to his dark room. Sasuke entered the room, and quickly rushed over to the flower that was contained in a glass cover. He looked at the pink flower, with a cherry blossom petals falling one by one. Now, only one petal remains, and Sasuke's time was running out. Sasuke gently stroked the glass case and then looked out the broken and open window. A full moon was out, the only light source in his dark room. He removed his dress coat and threw it across the room. Sasuke now only continues to stare at the cherry blossom in peace, as he remembers the times he shared with Sakura.

"Hn, Sakura…" He said softly.

Naruto and Others

"Hey, do you guys see what I see?" Naruto asked all of a sudden. He pointed out the window and the others looked at through the window.

"Oh," Hinata started to say.

"My," Ino continued.

"GOSH!" Everyone else said lastly.

"What are all those people doing!" Naruto yelled.

"Look, they have weapons!" Neji said surprised just like the others. The next thing they heard was banging on the doors of the palace. The tried to spot the leader of this mob and found a guy in a green suit as the leader.

"Wait, isn't that guy from Sakura's town." Tenten asked. Neji and Shikamaru looked confused at Tenten.

"Lee is the green guy's name." Ino said softly. "He is the strongest person in Konoha according to Sakura," Hinata added. "But since Sakura-chan can beat him up," Naruto followed. "We think that she's the strongest, not Lee." Tenten ended.

"So your telling us that that Lee guy is…" Shikamaru said. "Weak?" Neji finished off. The girls and Naruto nodded.

"But the problem is that it's not just him that's attacking the castle," Ino said sadly.

"It's also about 100 other men." Neji said.

BANG

BANG!

BANG!

"What are they doing down there!" Naruto exclaimed. The others sweat-drop. It seems to be that the men are trying to knock down the door, but Naruto would never understand

it…

"Anyway, come on, I got a plan!" Tenten said and they all followed her downstairs to the main entrance.

Lee and the others

"Okay, on three we knock down the door, one, two, THREE!" And Lee and the men ran towards the gigantic wooden door but suddenly the door opened themselves. The men halted after they saw a lot of appliances all a lined in front of them. Lee and the others slowly approached the appliances but only to be tricked.

"NOW!" Tenten shouted, and the objects started to attack the men. Tenten and Neji both pummeled 20 guys, Naurto and Hinata knocked out 10 men, Shikamaru and Ino got 15 of them down. The other objects in the house were fighting against many other men. And by the looks of it, after the kitchenware brought out the knives, all the remaining men ran for their lives. But there was a problem, where was Lee?

Lee

Lee had snuck off to the east wing of the palace. He had carried a bow and many sharp arrows in a back pouch. He knocked down all the room doors, before he got to the right door. He slowly opens this one and spots the sad beast. Lee takes an arrow from the pouch and is getting ready to aim it at Sasuke, when Sasuke turns to face Lee, but with a sad and lonely face. Sasuke then faces the flower again and doesn't care about Lee right now. Lee aims at Sasuke and shot the arrow.

SWOOSH!

The arrow hit our beloved Beast. Sasuke let out a mighty growl and Lee quickly tackles Sasuke out the window. Sasuke doesn't even try to fight Lee and Lee just laughs away. Lee throws kicks and punches at Sasuke until Sasuke is lying at the end of the palace roof. He was about to fall off and enter his lonely death. The rain starts to come slowly down onto the earth.

"What's the matter beast, has your heart finally melted from it's ice?" Sasuke looks away and still doesn't fight back. Lee breaks off one of the gargoyle's arms and uses it as a club to hit Sasuke with. But before Lee attacks Sasuke, he hears a voice.

"Sakura.." Sasuke says quietly.

"No! Lee don't hurt him!" She yells from the pathway to the palace. That's when Lee swings the club and Sasuke grabs the club right out of Lee's hands. Sasuke is now fighting back, because Sakura is now here. They engage in a violent battle and neither are winning. Sasuke pushes Lee onto the edge of the roof and he's only hanging on the gutters by his hands. Sasuke approaches the struggling Lee, but quickly runs and hides to blend in with the many other gargoyles on the roof top. Lee gets up and is now standing on the roof, with the club still in hand.

"Show yourself!" Lee yells. He swings the club and hit a gargoyle on the head, smashing it into pieces.

"Were you in love with her? Is that why your so soft?" He swings at another gargoyle.

"Did you honestly think that she'd want someone like you, when she could have someone as brave, and handsome as me!" Lee starts walking slowly and a shadow approaches him from behind. The shadow is Sasuke and Lee quickly turns around to hit Sasuke but misses. Lee swings the club and Sasuke had difficulty dodging them. Sasuke is backed up to the edge of the roof again.

"It's over beast, Sakura is mine!" Lee shouts and swings the club once more, but Sasuke grows angry and grabs Lee by the neck. Threatening to drop him on the gorund from the roof top. Lee starts to plead. Oh yeah, and the club fell out of Lee's hands by the way.

"Please, let me go! Please!" He pleads.

"I'll do anything, anything!" Lee pleads once more. Sasuke's anger begins to fade away, for he does not want to kill Lee anymore. Sasuke brings Lee back onto the roof safely and speaks.

"Get Out!" Sasuke said. He drops Lee on the ground and turns around.

"Sasuke!" Sakura cried. She was on the rooftop as well, but only a few feet higher. She smiles at him and he smiles back. Sakura stretches her arm out to him and Sasuke begins to climb to Sakura's heights. He outstretches his arm, to reach hers. Only a few inches away. The reach hands and Sasuke's touches her face. She smiles at him.

"Sakura, you came back…" He says softly and smiles once more. She touches his paw and the smile together happily. But their happiness fades, when something happens.

STAB!

Lee has taken a knife from his boot and stabbed Sasuke right in the back. Sasuke yells once again in pain, and is about to fall on the lower part of the roof, but Sakura grabs him and brings him up. Lee instead is kicked back down and stumbles off of the roof and falls down to his final death. Sakura pulls Sasuke onto the upper part of the roof where she lightly drops him down. He's bleeding uncontrollably and Sakura can only cry. Sasuke begins to stir up and slowly brings his hand to touch her soft face once more. He speaks.

"Sakura, you came back." He says softly. He takes his hand off her face slowly.

"Of course I came back, I couldn't let them hurt you any longer!" She says and places her small hand on his cheek. Sasuke coughs a lot now and Sakura speaks. "Hey, come on, you'll be alright now that we're together again!" She tried to make things seem easier. Sasuke one more time places his hand upon her cheek.

"At least, I got to see you, one last time." And his hand slowly drifts off of her face. She starts to form tears in her emerald eyes.

"No, no!" Sakura yells and hugs the lifeless beast. "No, please don't leave me!" She yells into his chest. "I love you." She whispers softly and cries into Sasuke's chest. The last cherry blossom petal fell down and it's magical glow, disappeared…
