Chapter 2: Ichiraku Ramen and Sakura's disappearance
At Ichiraku Ramen
"Mmm…" Naruto said. "This ramen is delicious!"
For once, I agree with him… Sasuke thought.
"I want more ramen!" Naruto cried.
"I'm going home now!" Sasuke said.
"Me too," Sakura explained. "Besides, it's pretty late and dark. Anyways, with that criminal lurking around, I want to climb into the safety of my bed."
That's right… Sasuke thought. There's still a missing-nin somewhere in the night. With that, he disappeared into the night.
"Wait Sakura," Naruto called after Sakura. "I'll walk you home!"
"Huh? No thanks! I'll walk home by myself."
"But it's dangerous at night and there's still a criminal out there."
"It's okay Naruto!" she replied. "I'll be fine!"
"Are you sure?"
"Hai!" Sakura said. "And Naruto…"
"Nani?"
"Doumo arigatou"
"Douitashimashite! Mata ashita!"
"Hai," Sakura said. With that, Sakura walked off into the direction of her house and Naruto back to Ichiraku Ramen.
It's getting colder… and it would've been pitch black if it weren't for the moon.
Suddenly, Sakura thought she bumped into a pole… but this couldn't have been a pole because it seemed way too soft. As Sakura almost fell backwards to the ground, a soft hand gently grabbed hers preventing her from falling.
"Hontou-ni gomennasai," Sakura cried as she pulled herself from the stranger's grip. He wouldn't release her from his grip.
"Watch where you're going." The stranger said. His voice was harsh. Almost as harsh as Sasuke's but even colder.
Sakura looked at him straight in the eyes. He still wouldn't release her from his grasp. Sakura recognized those eyes. They were as red as blood. Sakura's eyes widened with shock. Those eyes… they were spinning. She was slowly being swept into darkness. But she kept looking into those eyes. He then hit her in the stomach causing her to faint. The last thing she saw were those eyes that reminded her of an ocean of blood. The blood of all the people he killed.
