Scatter! Seperation in the Desert
"Well it seems tomorrow will be the last day of travelling before we reach Suna. As soon as we reach we'll report to the Kazekage. That means no ramen, Naruto" Kakashi told the team. Naruto whined and argued with Kakashi, but eventually gave up. He yelled out a goodnight to everyone as he walked over to the tent he shared with Shikamaru, Chouji and Neji.
The next day, the winds that the desert was famous for blew strongly. Sakura suggested they stop travelling in case a storm arose but Shikamaru said there would be a higher risk of getting caught in a storm is they did. Besides, they were only a short distance from Sunagakure.
Sakura walked in silence. Something was going to go wrong. There had been no ambushes no sandstorms. It was all too coincidental. Shut up, she told herself firmly. Just then Shikamaru's voice crackled through the transmitter. "We've lost our signal with Kiba and Shino. They could be in danger. Everyone scatter!"
"Hai!" she heard everyone's voices before they disappeared before her eyes. It was then she realised that since she was in the centre she would not be moving out of formation. She would be protected by all directions. She clenched her fists. Kakashi had put Shikamaru up to this. She could feel rage boiling up from within. He still thought she needed to be protected. She would prove him wrong. Sakura sped off into the direction of Suna.
Shikamaru sighed. The mission had just gotten very troublesome. Kiba and Shino might be in danger and he had lost contact with the rest. He just hoped the rest were still in contact. I didn't even get to the see the clouds, he thought to himself.
Naruto ran furiously. Shikamaru's order to scatter meant the possibility of the Sound-nins picking them out one by one. Shikamaru had lost contact with them just after the message. Naruto's brow's furrowed deeper. Losing contact with any team mate was dangerous. Losing contact with your tactician was fatal.
"Naruto-kun, I think we've lost contact with Sakura-chan as well. It seems Kakashi-san's transmitter has died out too" Hinata's voice crackled through the transmitter, interrupting his thoughts."Damnit!" He shouted, "Everyone try and regroup with two other member's. Then try and locate Kiba, Shino, Sakura and Shikamaru. If there are any casualties, immediately head for Suna."
"Hai!"
Naruto sped off, too worried too notice the ever-growing howling sounds of wind blowing the sand.
Sakura forced herself against the wind, pushing herself forward. She had to reach Suna. Her team mates were not accustomed to fighting in this environment. If they were ambushed they would not stand a chance. The Suna-nins on the other hand, would be excellent reinforcements.
Then she saw an unmoving figure. A sand-nin? No. She knew the person. She knew him all too well.
"Sasuke,"
"Sakura," the reply came, cold, unfeeling.
There was a moment of silence. Then Sasuke walked off in the other direction.
"Go home, Sakura. I'm beyond saving. I have chosen this path. In any case, you're weak" He called out, without even looking back
Sakura calmly pulled her gloves on. So he thinks I'm weak does he? He's going to get the shock of his life. Taking a breath, she charged at Sasuke, his back still turned.
Just as she was about to reach him he reached out for a kunai and hurled it at her. Or rather, it. The moment his kunai came in contact with her, she exploded leaving only log.
She was able to perform a Kwamiri without me sensing it, Sasuke thought, amazed.
"You're opponent's here!" he heard a voice shout.
He didn't have time to react as he felt a horrible force in his abdomen, pushing him into a rock.
"Shinobi Rule 1: Never turn your back on your enemy," she drawled in a mocking tone.
"I've always been good at the ninja know-how,"
"You're not an enemy. You're just an annoying fangirl," Sasuke wiped the blood onto a sleeve. That punch had hurt.
"Sharingan!" Sasuke shouted as his eyes faded from a black to a deep red.
Sakura just smirked. But inside she let out a little whimper.
Ok I know i already submitted chapter 2 once but I reformatted it and submitted it again. Sorry for the shortness. I am really bad at writing long chapters. Besides I prefer leaving my chapters at cliffhangers... hehe... Cya!
