Blah Scene Change or Point of View Change

(Blah) Inner Sakura

Blah Chanting of Spells (Spells are in French, translations are at the end.)

Sakura entered the room when she saw Michiru run out with tears running down her eyes. She was worried that something happens to Sasuke. (If she did something…) She entered the room to see Sasuke staring at the door in disbelief. He was lost in his mind about what happen to him and Michiru.

"Sasuke?" Sakura asked.

Sasuke looked up at Sakura, but it seemed that he didn't see her there at first. Then his eyes grew cold and he got out of the hospital bed. "Get out Sakura! Leave me be!" he yelled at his fellow Genin. Sakura felt tears rush from her eyes as well and ran out of the room.

She ran out of the hospital and passes the people in the street. She hit someone hard and they both fell to the ground.

"Hey watch it!" a familiar voice yelled.

"Leave me alone Ino!" Sakura said as she got up off the ground. Ino stared at her and noticed the tears.

"So," she said, "Sasuke finally told you that he likes me more than you. I always knew he would choose me in the end."

"He didn't choose either of us! It was… It was…"

"Michiru," Ino finished with a surprise look in her eyes.

Sakura nodded slowly. "And she ran off on him! She just ran from him! She doesn't deserve him like I do!"

Ino felt shock at what Sakura was saying and placed her hand on her shoulder. "We will get Michiru back for hurting Sasuke," Ino said.

Snowfire Fox's POV

Snowfire Fox looked around as she and Nina stepped out of the portal back into the Naruto world. Snowfire Fox was still wearing Neji's jacket so she was trying to keep an eye out for him just incase she had to run. She spotted Ino and Sakura talking close by, but she didn't think anything of it.

"Hmm… Where you think Michiru went?" Snowfire Fox asked Nina.

"How should I know? You were the last one to see her," Nina pointed out.

"Yeah, but that was days ago…" Snowfire Fox complained.

"It was jus the other night!" Nina yelled.

Both the girls were yelling at each other and a crowd was starting to form to see the commotion. Neji also noticed the fight and wondered just who was doing the fighting. When he got near enough to see the two girls barking at each other he noticed that the younger one had his jacket.

"Hey you Bitch! You got my jacket!" Neji yelled as he jumped over the crowd into the center.

"Oppsie. I have to go now," Snowfire Fox said as she ducked down and disappeared into the crowd. Nina tried chasing her and was stopped by Neji.

"She is mine! I want that jacket back!" Neji yelled.

"Well if one of us doesn't stop the little runt she won't be around to stop!" Nina yelled at him. They both nodded in agreement and chased Snowfire Fox down.

Snowfire Fox got out of the crowd and ran towards the woods ahead of her. She knew that both Neji and Nina would catch up to her soon and felt her footsteps fall out from under her and she rolled into a pile of garbage. She stayed where she was and saw Nina and Neji passed by her. Once they were cleared out of view she got out of the pile and took the ramen noodles off her head and gave a disgruntled grunt. She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned around to see Naruto.

"What are you doing in my garbage?" he asked.

"Umm… I kinda fell into it," Snowfire Fox replied. "Wait, where's Gaara?" She was afraid that Gaara might recognize her from the hospital and would kill her to get revenge.

"He out meeting with the Hokage. I hope he can survive her temper, but then again I think he can match hers! Believe it!" Naruto said. He sniffed Snowfire Fox and gage form the stench.

"You should come in and get a bath. I got some extra clothes you can borrow. You look to be my size," Naruto said. Snowfire Fox nodded in agreement and followed him inside the apartment.

Oh finally she got something she always wanted for free. She hugged herself in Naruto's extra jumpsuit and jumped up and down with glee. Of course she would keep it and savor it with Itachi's cloak, but Neji's jacket had to be cleaned first. She watched as Naruto hand cleaned her clothes with care and stared at him.

"You clean clothes?" Snowfire Fox asked.

"Yes, you always have to clean your clothes when you're on your own. It's a Ninja's way of life," Naruto said. "So you must be a friend of Michiru."

"Yes I am. I'm Snowfire Fox! I'm the Phantom Anime Thief! I go to different worlds and steal the things I want," Snowfire Fox blurted out. She watched as Naruto hung the clothes out to dry out the window and look at her.

"Tell me something about Michiru. Just what power does she use? I sense you have a different power than charka as well," Naruto said.

"Well she uses Mana for her power, but I used a power call Magic. I can make fireballs and blast them at people," Snowfire fox said.

"What's Magic?" Naruto asked staring at her.

"Magic is the power that has to be gained from training unlike Mana or Charka, though with charka you have to train it. But the thing is, Magic doesn't appear in a person unless they are taught it with rituals and spells. Mana is the same as Magic, but one is born with Mana and when it runs out the person dies. Mana is their life-force as well as their power. But unlike Charka, Mana cannot be regained from resting. Once you use that power it is gone which also shortens your very life," Snowfire Fox explained.

Naruto looked at Snowfire Fox and heard the door slam from behind them. Gaara came into the room and look at Snowfire Fox.

"YOU!" he yelled. "YOU PREVERTED BITCH!"

"Well looks like I have to run again," Snowfire Fox said. "And I'm keeping your clothes! The Phantom Anime Thief strikes again!" She ran pass Naruto and grabbed the clothes hanging outside as she jumped out the window. She landed on the ground with a soft impact and ran down the street into an alleyway up ahead. She turned to see Gaara behind her and pulled out her hourglass and made a portal and went though it. It closed just before Gaara could reach it.

"Damn it all!" Gaara cursed as he tried to hit the portal, but he only hit open air.

Note: Ok… I made it before I got two reviews. I miss the people who used to review every chapter. Maybe someone will do it again… Someday… R&R!
