Chapter 3: What Next?
A/N: Hey hey hey! Let's check this out, can you really escape fate?
"HOLY CRAP!" yelled Shikamaru.
I couldn't believe this was happening, the wind blew in my face, my tears made my face cold. My heart ached, Naruto-kun, and everyone else that didn't get off, they're dead. And, I couldn't do that much, but only saved about half of us. I turned to see Neji on his knees repeating the name Tenten over and over again. I know his pain, we each lost a very important person.
"WHY! WHY COULDN'T I DO ANYTHING!" he yelled and clutched his head tightly, I swear his forehead protector almost fell off. I ran to his side and he hugged me tightly, and my tears, they came out faster and the next thing I knew, it rained, the water of my tears and everyone else's fell to the floor.
The next day at the funeral, I sat in between Neji and Shikamaru. The jounin said his words as all of us cried. Naruto-kun… I just can't believe it, if only they listened to my words, if only I could've stopped them.
"Now for any last words and wishes, please come up and pay your respect to our beloved ones," he ended it with a bow and stared at the photos of everyone.
I walked up to Naruto's picture and laid a flower down; I saw Neji niisan in front of Tenten's. I stared at Naruto-kun and tears streamed down my face once again, then a chill went down my spine, I looked behind me and my eyes grew open. I swore I saw a rushing and flying shadow. But I shook my head, I'm just a little paranoid.
I felt the hand of Kiba-kun on my shoulder, "Hinata, I'm sorry about Naruto-kun…" he tried to crack a smile, I knew he wanted to cheer me up.
"It's ok…" I forced a smile upon my face, I didn't want to worry anyone, he and everyone else should be as sad as I am.
Later I rushed home to cry all my pain away. I don't want to be any trouble being too depressed, so I think I'll just cry everything out.
About ten minutes later I remembered my prediction, the vision I had. I thought for a while looking up at the ceiling, there must be an explanation…So then I turned on my laptop, and went researching.
Apparently there is an urban legend of this mission where one of the members predicted the death of all of them and told them not to go. But then one after another they died in freak accidents.
"Oh my…" I said to myself, but then I heard a knock at my door.
"Who is it?"
"Hinata-sama, this is Neji, please let me in," I was surprised to hear him knock on my door.
"Sure," I approached the door and opened it. When I opened it he just looked at me. Embarrassed I asked what was wrong. He took my hand and stared at me with concern, he then told me to sit down.
"Remember your vision?"
"Of course!" I wonder what was going on…
"You see, about two years ago, an aircraft about to fly away exploded," I wonder why he was saying this. He looked down, "Well you see this boy predicted that it was to explode, but not everyone thought he was right, except for seven. Later seven died one by one in freak accidents, in the order they were supposed to when the airplane exploded."
My eyes grew wide as he said this, tears coming from my face once again, I couldn't believe it, both the stories, it couldn't be true…
"You've got to be kidding me Neji-kun!"
He looked at me with his serious face, "How do you explain it then huh?"
"They must've not been too careful that's all."
"No," he looked at me straight in the eye, "You know that no one can escape fate, no one can escape death."
I still didn't believe it, that just couldn't be possible.
"Fine, believe what you want, but don't whine when we all start dying!" he left and slammed the door.
I stared at the door for a few moments, then back at my computer. I closed the window with the story and opened my camera files. I knew they were dead, but at least I had photos of them. I scrolled through them, but something bothered me about each picture…
Ino's POV:
I know everything's sad, I know most of our comrades have fallen but…
"There's a sale at the mall!" I yelled out dragging Sakura to come with me.
"But…" I saw her, she was depressed, "Sasuke-kun and Lee-san, they're both dead! How can you be so happy?"
I stopped for a moment and looked her in the eyes, "I'm sad too, but there's nothing we can do now, do you really want to spend the rest of your life depressed?"
She stared at me and smiled while wiping away her tears, "ok Ino-chan, let's go!" it was nice to see her smile or anyone.
"Hey!" I yelled, this store was one of my favorites, "Oh my gosh those are so cute!" I screamed and she smiled wider, but then I sensed something coming.
"Ino-chan!" she screamed and I looked up.
"Holy crap!" I dodged it and more signs fell we dodged most of them thank fully.
"That was close!" she said wiping her forehead.
I looked up, those signs were very loose, "Yo! You there!" I pointed to the manager, I was going to give them a piece of my mind, Sakura and I walked in further. Although I stopped, it wasn't the regular manager, and the store looked different too…
"Sakura-chan! We're in the wrong place aren't we?" I looked up to see knives and forks and bags and other plastic and rubbery things. But then I realized that Sakura hasn't replied and I saw the manager's face was white, "What's wrong old man?" he pointed behind me, "What?" he stuttered a name, Sakura's name so I turned around to see…
"AHHHH!"
Hinata's POV:
While looking at the photos, I noticed something very very strange about them. The first one, the one of Sakura and Ino looked really weird. Yeah sure, their pose was ok, but then behind them the sign seemed as if it were to touch their heads and behind them were floats and other rubber and beachy items. Also the necklace around Ino's neck looked a bit tight, maybe I should call them over to see this picture…
Ino's POV:
I fell to my knees in horror, I can't believe she wasn't able to dodge it, I can't believe she wasn't able to dodge the knife. It must've come out of no where, it didn't seem like she even sensed it, because it was right on her skull.
I slowly crawled up to her and removed the knife, she collapsed into my arms and my tears dropped on her and it mixed with her blood.
"Ino-chan…" she said slowly, I was thankful she was still alive!
"Oh my! I can't believe-"
Sakura's POV:
My eyes grew open, I forgot my pain for a moment as another knife fell from above and pierced Ino in the back, she fell on me and slowly arise, suddenly a bag fell on her head.
RING!
My cell phone rang and I opened it with the strength I had…
"Sakura-chan please come over I have something really strange to show you!" it was Hinata, but I hung up because I was running out of strength.
Back to Ino it seems that she was able to remove it, but then another fell and a string were on it too. I tried to get up to remove it but then everything went black…
Ino's POV:
Oh my gosh, this bag is choking me! Is that Sakura? Oh my gosh I don't hear her breathing and, and…I feel weird…Is that a white light?
Hinata's POV:
She hung up? I wonder what happened. I heard heavy breathing…But wait was that screaming I heard too? ...
Later that day I heard that Ino and Sakura died in the mall yesterday, from knives and a bag? That seemed strange, they should have been able to dodge that and prevent it too…No wait…They died, and they were the first to die out of the seven or eight of us that didn't go.
The story Neji told me flashed through my head again, "They all died in the order they were supposed to…"
At the funeral I spoke to Neji again about the picture, he promised to talk to me tomorrow about it. Man I've got a weird feeling about this…
A/N: Well that was strange!
