I Do Not Own Naruto

"She's in there," Pakkun motioned to the cave, Kisame smiled then.
"Kid, get pinky, I'll take care of the rest," the sharkman told him. Sasuke said nothing to counter this as he stood up, his eyes pulsed with chakra and he ran into the cave then, he didn't stop. A man came swinging at him with a sword, he slid under the man, launched himself up into the air and pulled several shuriken as he released them upon his enemy as he landed on the ground again and resumed running towards where he was seeing Sakura's altered chakra. He didn't know how to describe the change in her chakra other than now it was kind of like how Naruto's was, there was a different powerful mass of chakra in her center.
"Sakura!" he called out as he slammed into another man and had him smashing into the ground, pulling a kunai he slammed it into the man's shoulder. The screams in the corridor were horrifying and filled their air with the splattering of blood. Lunging at the door separating him from Sakura he was startled when the pinkette came flying at him with her fist pulled out.
He caught her fist then as he spun her around her into the wall.
"Sakura!" he snapped and he stared at her wide green eyes.
"Sasuke!" she gasped.
"Yeah, come on," he said as he grabbed her wrist and hauled her after him which had her stumbling after him as they ran through the tunnels. She didn't stop as she ran after him. He ignored the bodies being hacked to bits and the screams, the tangy scent of blood wasn't bothering him either as they ran out of the tunnel and into the light. Sakura tripped, he yanked her after him and she fell.
"Sakura! come on!" he shouted at her.
"I can't," she whimpered as she sat up.
"Sakura, we have to go!" he grabbed her wrist again and she yanked it out of his grasp.
"I can't go back to the village Sasuke!" she cried out and started hugging herself.
"Well you can't stay here!" he argued and tried to grab her again but she evaded him again.
"No! They… they did something to me Sasuke! The moment I get back to the village I will be a weapon used to destroy it!" she sobbed out and he scowled as he looked around. Kisame appeared then.
"Come on kids, we can't hang around here," Kisame said.
"She won't move," Sasuke announced and she hugged herself tighter. He honestly did not understand what was going on in that pink head of hers, but damnit! She was coming with him one way or another!
"Kid, I know what they did, but the only way to fix it is to get you out of here and get your Hokage to fix it," Kisame snapped.
"Can he even fix it!?" she spat out. Sasuke blinked, fix what!? He was so confused right now.
.
Sakura was glaring at Kisame then as she hugged herself, she felt so weird and abnormal and there was something in her which did not belong in her and she knew it as it rumbled in her and made itself at home in her. She just wanted to go home, but she knew she couldn't. The very thing which did not belong in her had revealed all of what was going on and what the Mist was intending to do to her village through her and it was killing her as she let the tears fall. She wanted to go home.
"Hey, Pinky, I wouldn't say it if I didn't believe the Hokage couldn't fix it, but we have to get you out of here, kid," Kisame snapped at her.
"Come on Sakura," Sasuke grabbed her then, she stumbled a bit and found herself being slung on his back as he ran then. Kisame ran to.
"I can take her kid,"
"No," Sasuke snapped and she hid her face in his shoulder as she felt the Three Tails rumbling in her and she cried silent tears into her best friend's shoulder. This was bad, this was very, very bad and she didn't know how to stop it as she cried. She felt violated and tormented and she felt… different like she was going to be ostracized because of this thing in her. And once Sasuke knew what was in her he'd probably hate her, as would the rest of the village. She knew this as surely as she knew how to breath.
"Hang in there Sakura," Sasuke ordered.
"I want Kakashi," she whimpered and he said nothing as she held onto him tightly and tried not to break down in tears. Something comforting reached out in her mind and she didn't know what it was but it felt like she was receiving a mental hug which felt good but was also freaking her out as she hid against the Uchiha.
"Alright brats, you two stay here, here's a kunai, and you two do not move, if anyone who isn't me, Kakashi or the Hokage comes, kill them," Kisame said as he handed Sasuke a weird kunai. Sakura peeked at it then up to Kisame who smiled a toothy grin.
"It's going to be alright pinky, just trust us," Kisame ordered and then he was gone.
"Sakura, are you alright?" Sasuke asked.
"I don't know," she whimpered out as she was set down and curled in on herself. She felt like she had to hug herself, had to hold back whatever was within her and had to keep it at bay. She didn't want it to get out and wreak havoc upon the world and it felt so powerful, so strong that she was crying just trying not to break.
"It's going to be alright," Sasuke repeated.
"Do you really believe that?" she spat out.
"No, but I believe you are too annoying to just die on me and leave me with the dobe," he argued and she gave a weak laugh then as her head fell to her knees.
.
Kisame ran straight to the village, he ignored the ANBU who called out to him to stop as he shoved his way to the Hokage's tower. Blasting through the doors he looked at the Yellow Flash who stared at him with startled blue eyes.
"We have a problem, the Mist is trying to use the Three Tails again, it's in Sakura," Kisame said.
"Where are they?" Minato demanded.
"I already gave them my kunai," Kisame answered and the Hokage grabbed his cloak then disappeared.
Hey! Long time no update... eh... sorry, not really; I've been a little busy. No matter, I will be having regular updates for this again because the goal is to have this completed before September.
That's all for now folks!
Enjoy Blooming in Darkness! =)
