Sakura sat with Lee and Ino in an abandoned apartment. They had been meeting there for days, coming up with ideas and plans about the killing of Hinata.
The way they had all come up with was that they were going to release this angry dog. It was the most fierce they could find and would rip apart anything. Whenever they brought it around them to train it's nose to sense Hinata, they would keep it in it's cage. But the would show it pictures. And, somehow, Sakura didn't know, Lee had gotten Hinata's scent and given it to the dog to memorize. It knew who it's target was.
"Why not kill Sasuke along with Hinata? If you kill Sasuke, you won't have to worry about being in love with him anymore. He'll be something gone. It's like if something dies, after a while, you stop loving it so much. But it may take a while to get to that point. But, in the long run, it's better, isn't it?"
"Keep your thought to yourself, Ino," Sakura said. "I don't want Sasuke dead. I want Hinata dead. If she dies, one of us may have a chance to take him."
"But, we've tried it before. We know he's not interested in us. But we both know that as long as he walks on the planet, we're going to love him."
"Things may change over time," Sakura said. 'One day, he will be all mine,' She thought.
"How many more days?" Ino asked Lee.
"Just one. I want to have one more day to feed the dog Hinata's scent and picture. Just so we're extra sure he's going to attack her and not Sasuke."
"Hey, Lee," Ino said. "Why are you helping us? I don't recall anything about Hinata that may have made you hate her?"
"Sakura is obviously torn because she loves Sasuke, but he loves Hinata. So, I'm going to kill her so Sakura won't be heart-broken anymore."
"Oh," Ino said. "Whatever."
"Hey, just one thing, Lee," Sakura said. "How are you going to know where Hinata is?"
"I had someone go to their doors. I had him go to Sasuke's and say Hinata wanted to go on a date with him and I told them by the river. Same goes for Hinata."
"Why not just tell Hinata and leave Sasuke out of it?"
"Because I want Sasuke to see Hinata torn to bits in front of his very own eyes," Lee said. "If not, he may not be able to accept the fact that she died."
Hinata and Sasuke met by the river. But both of them knew they were not alone. Ino, Sakura, and Lee showed themselves. Lee was holding a cage.
Hinata could see Lee bend over. He made sure the dog could see his finger and he pointed at Hinata. Hinata froze, knowing something bad was going to happen. And when Lee lifted the cover of the cage, Hinata was paralyzed with fear. But Sasuke wasn't. He pushed Hinata to the side and stood where she had. One last time, Hinata saw Sasuke smile.
Time seemed to freeze. "Hinata, I promised I'd protect you with my life. And here's my chance to prove it."
But before Hinata could say a word, the dog tore into Sasuke's flesh. But the dog was blind or something, because he ran straight into the river. The dog obviously didn't know how to swim. But, whatever he did, he dragged Sasuke down to the bottom. Sasuke drowned. And it was because he wanted to save Hinata.
