8888888888888888888888888888888888

You gave me life

And in exchange, I gave you death

Painful isn't it?

How you offer your life for me

While I took yours away

It was indeed a regretful deed

Cause in the end

I would use this life

To inflict pain..

Chapter 2: Blue soul

The battle was over and yet no one stood there claiming that he or she had won the battle. Maybe there were truly no winners in a battle, winning a battle doesn't meant anything if you lost someone you considered as a comrade, but in this kind of situation one can't avoid what fate had decided for them. Maybe because in a life of a shinobi, death is a common thing. A choice no one can avoid, either you kill or be killed.

Team Gai arrived at the scene where sakura, chiyo and sasori fought. The place was a mess, puppets and blood splattered everywhere even the ground was damaged.

"what on earth happened here?" teten was the first one to break the silence, her mouth was in a gape. She was wondering how on earth did the ground here have a huge freaking crater.

"everyone spread out and try to look for anybody you recognize, go!" gai instructed his students to look for any human body, especially sakura and chiyo.

Neji stood still and activated his byakugan, he started scanning the whole place, he saw something but it was almost fading away, he know that charka signature its sakura's, she was unconscious. "lee sakura-san is over there" he pointed out where sakura's body was lying. She was just unconscious.

In a blink of an eye lee was already in front of her body, she was not bleeding but there were many bruises and scratch all over her body, her face was pale due to her low charka. He carried her in his arms, bridal style and brought her to neji asking if she was alright.

"neji-san is she alright?"

"she would be ok, her charka was pretty low but she would make it. She is unconscious lee." He was wondering how she got unconscious she had no mark on her head that she was hit or blow that could harm her. He was wondering because akatsuki was their enemy not just an ordinary rogue. If they would make her unconscious they wouldn't even dare not to harm her, give her fatal blow but there were none. And that was keeping neji's mind to a certain kunoichi.

"guys! We—we found the old lady she's… shes gone" tenten's face was gloomy, she was the one who found chiyo's body, she was shocked to see her body lying next to a boy with red hair, she never thought that the old lady would end up like this.

neji and lee were both clutching their fist if only they had been there earlier, this would not happen.

"and we found another body, he's alive, if im not mistaken he's with the akatsuki" gai was wondering why this boy doesn't have any scratch at all or bruise on his body. He was unharmed but still he was unconscious.

'her body was fine, only that she had lost all of her charka, how did that happen? Unless this boy could suck all her charka but all I could see is his own, and if she had healed sakura and all her charka was drained then why is it sakura still had those scratches and bruise, and she was found far from her.' All neji could do was analyze every single details that he could found. But all of it makes no sense on how the old woman died, he knows that she died due to charka lost but how?

"maybe we should go now and tell kakashi-san what happened her. And what about that boy gai-san?" neji said, giving a good look at the red haired boy.

"we'll bring him with us, we don't want him to escape us right?" giving neji one of his trade mark smirk 'ting' team gai went to look for kakashi and naruto.

kakashi and naruto had already caught up with the other akatsuki member, naruto who was in rage caught the blonde akatsuki and attacked him with his uzumaki combo.

The fight was far from over when team gai arrived at the scenery, carrying an old woman in gai's arms and at his shoulder was the boy with red hair (imagine he was a sack of potato hehe) and in lee was an unconscious sakura.

"sakura-chan!" naruto shouted, worry evident in his eyes. totally forgotten about the blonde akatsuki. 'what happen? Is she alright? Who did this to her? I'll make hi—" naruto was gripping lee's shoulder, he was angry at himself that he wasn't there to protect her, what if she was killed? He would not forgive himself, he had lost one of his friends and he would not let that happen again.

"naruto-san calm down she's just unconscious, sakura-san will be alright, and your hurting me."

"thick brow sorry about that I was just—"

"its alright naruto-san" lee gave naruto one of his nice gai pose. Reassuring him that it was ok. He knows what naruto felt when he saw sakura. Just like him they were both worried but really naruto's grip was deadly.

when the kyuubi boy left him, he was able to escape and hide for a while, they were arguing more of a kyuubi in rage. He was busy listening to their conversation. Then his eyes caught something red. A boy with red hair was being carried by the guy in green suit. The boy was wearing a cloak like his. 'how come I hadn't noticed him earlier? Yeah. He—that's sasori-danna! Yeah…what the hell? He was beaten by a girl and a hag? Maybe I should rescue him…yeah. Nah, he would surely kill me knowing that I was the one who save his ass. He could take care of himself…yeah. I better report this yeah' he decided that sasori could handle this by himself and then within a blink he was gone. He knew very well his partner sasori would be very pissed if he would interfere with his partner's own problem. And he was badly injured too it means he was in no condition to fight, like what? Five shinobi against one akatsuki hell that would be like committing suicide. Thanks to that masked jounin his right arm went missing, he used an unknown doujutsu and then within a second he's right arm was gone. What the hell was that? Now he was having a trouble with his own jutsu. He would find first his arm and then report.

"where is gaara?" tenten asked. After all it was their mission to find and bring back the kazekage.

"here" naruto's bunshin answered his clone was carrying gaara while the real one was with lee. "kakashi-sensei said that he was ok, just unconscious." Then does it mean the akatsuki failed to take the shukaku? The answer was maybe.

"good…at least his ok but—" tenten didn't finish her sentence, how would she tell them? Tell them that the old woman died. She just cant let the words slip out of her mouth.

Kakashi saw the face tenten giving them, gai and lee also look depressed, neji's face was stoic but he knew, just one look into the prodigy's eyes he could tell that they all feel the same. He glanced at the old woman that gai was carrying, she look like she was just asleep but he knew she was no longer there, he could no longer feel any of her charka even a tiny string of it, she was gone. It would be a long night for her.

"she's gone" those two words that kakashi said caught the blonde's attention, his head suddenly snapped at kakashi's direction.

"who's she?" he look at the direction kakashi was looking and then he saw. "but—how?" even if they just met he still cared for her, he turned his gaze towards the sky and silently thank her.

"gai, that boy he's an akatsuki, where did you found him? When we left I never seen him. Is he the puppeteer?" kakashi said, he was staring at the red head that gai was carrying on his shoulder.

"we found him near chiyo-sama, I think so." Gai said he was not sure if this boy was the one who they know as sasori of the red sand, the akatsuki who can control as many puppets as he can.

"we could bring him to konoha with us, then let them interrogate" lee suggested.

"right, first we bring gaara back and then we go to konoha, let's go" the masked jounin said and then they were gone, leaving a trail of leaf falling down.

after like what 5 hours of long explanation they finally finished their mission, when they were heading back to the village of sand the other nins of sand found them, they were grateful that they were there to assist them. Kakashi and the others are already exhausted, they were tired due to the fighting that they had encountered.

When they reached the village they saw many shinobi were waiting for them, they were waiting for their kazekage, and when gaara has finally awaken, he was surprised to see people surrounding him, his people they all look relief as if he was just brought back to life by a miracle. And then he saw his grandma she looked so peaceful and he noticed, she was no longer breathing—she was gone. And that was when kakashi and gai explained everything, but the truth would only be discover until a certain pink haired girl and red haired akatsuki wake up.

Gaara wanted them to stay for a while because he knew that kakashi and the others are still tired due to lack of sleep and rest but they told him that they should be going, and so he agreed in one condition, he let some of his anbu to escort the team back to konoha, they should be of great help.

Thanks to gaara's nin they were able to reach konoha within two days. Normally it would take them three to four days to reach konoha with that kind of condition they have.

Sakura and the red head was brought to the hospital as soon as the team reached the village. Kakashi and gai thanked the anbu that escorted them and in a flash they were gone but not before giving them a nod of approval, it was also a way of saying thanks. Then kakashi went to the hokage to report everything while gai went to the hospital to watch a certain akatsuki.

the morning ray of sun shines throught the window of a certain pink haired kunoichi, sleeping soundlessly on the bed near a single window in that room. She could feel warmth covering her face, it felt so real that she wanted to open her eyes to see who dared to wake her up. Wait, where was she? She felt like she was on a bed—bed? The last thing she remembered was the hard ground and the voice 'thank you' chiyo-sama, what the?

Sakura bolted upright but as soon as she tried she felt pain entered her body, it was like a shock of electricity slowly moving through out her entire form.

"sakura-chan! You shouldn't try to move, your hurt im so worried about you! are you ok?" his voice held concern, naruto was acting like her mother first he was scolding her for moving then he would ask if she was alright, he never change, still the caring and sweet naruto she knows. Deep inside her heart she was truly grateful to have a friend like him.

"naruto im ok, how did I ended up here? and is chiyo-sama ok? Gaara, is he ok too?" she knows she was asking a lot of questions but she didn't care she just wanted to know the answers , what was important to her now was chiyo and gaara if they were alive and safe.

"woah—sakura-chan calm down, you should be resting not making yourself worry to death, if you stress out tsunade-baa-chan will kill me hehe" naruto said, he grin at her foolishly trying his best to cover up the sadness in his voice, he couldn't tell sakura about chiyo she would be very depress and she would blame herself for it. He didn't like the idea od seeing sakura crying, it make him feel worst than letting chouji eat his ramen.

"naruto! Oi are you there? Your staring at me" sakura said her voice held annoyance for the blonde it was weird that naruto was spacing out, just so unlikely him. Sakura was not stupid she knows that naruto was avoiding the topic. But why? Did something wrong happen while she was out again.

"naruto…please tell me everything please" this was the second time she was begging naruto but unlike the last time, she was pathetically begging him to bring sasuke back but this time was different, she wanted to know the truth and nothing more.

"i—sakura-chan" naruto's voice was soft filled with unknown emotions, was it pain? Anger? She didn't know. After that no one dared to speak it was pure silence, the only thing you could here is the deep breathing of naruto and sakura. She would wait, it's the only thing she could do right now.

at the other side of the hospital, sasori was brought he was still being examine and watched, when the hokage had checked sasori's body, searching for any injury, he suddenly bolted up and caught her hand that really surprised her.

He felt a warm hand traveling through out his body out of reflex her bolted up and caught the hand that was touching him. He bolted upright just to be taken down again by that same person, at first he was giving her a glare his mind hasn't yet registered what was happening, and then his eyes widen, he was in konoha? Was that the hokage? What the?

"where…konoha" his voice monotone, as if he didn't care at all, and his face returned to its stoic manner. He was wondering why the hell they didn't just kill him, information, maybe. His not that stupid to give information unlike his partner. 'what would deidara do if he was in this kind of situation? Hm' he suddenly found the situation funny and if he wasn't in front of these people and if he wasn't an akatsuki maybe he would be rolling around the floor laughing out loud.

"sasori right?" tsunade said

"hn, when will you execute me?" he was straight to the point, he known in the end they would still kill him, just like a toy after use throw it.

"oh—maybe in some other year, don't worry boy you life would still last longer than you expected. In fact I know what chiyo had done to you. she would not be happy to see your head chopped down." Her voice calm as the wind, she was happy seeing irritation written on his face. 'good he didn't noticed'

"then what use will I be? If you would like to keep me here for a year."

'its time to visit sakura should I bring him? Alright' she stood up not caring to answer his question, then she said "your coming with me" she waited for him to stood up and follow her.

"hn" does he have a choice? nah—talk about complaining he's becoming more and more like deidara, complaining in every mission they get—is there such thing as deidara virus? Maybe it has infected him. 'sigh' 'im thinking stupid things while I should be planning my escape it would be difficult now that im no longer a puppet, damn old hag' he stood up and comply to the order given to him but not before noticing the charka string that was tied up around his hands. 'since when did? Tch' that was why the hokage was smirking she had put a charka wire around his hands while he was busy staring into nothing.

'so he already noticed it' she started to move follwed by sasori and behind were anbus guarding both of them.

'they took my robe and even my ring, tch' why didn't he noticed that again, he was known as a genius and yet he didn't even noticed that he was lacking clothes and his damn ring. Deidara virus maybe…yeah.

30min. had passed and yet the two were quiet, waiting for one another to speak. There was a knock, before the two could answer the door burst open giving naruto and sakura a good view of the hokage, there was another person behind her but they could not see, naruto tried to glace sideway to see but the hokage was blocking it.

"sakura your awake now, let me guess naruto's loud mouth woke you up eh?" her tone was gentle with a hint of playfulness in it. (n/a: is there such thing…hehe)

"hey! Since when did i—ouch" he got punched on his head by sakura "sakura-cahn that hurts"

tsunade was grinning at the scene before her this also caught the attention of the puppet master.

"shishou, could you please tell me what happened before I was brought here" her voice was of pleading tone, she saw the look her teacher was giving her it was full of concern, she added "please"

slowly the figure behind tsunade emerge, and the shock look of the kuboichi infront of him was priceless. A small smirk tugging from his lips. "then let me tell you everything…"
