Chapter 9

He did not know how he had done it. But he was outside and he had gotten Neji to tell him where Sakura was.

She and Tenten had left to find Kiru, who was staying in a abandoned house not to far away.

So he ran fast, he had to be fast.

He arrived to find a worn down building that had no door to it. It was alone, by itself.

Inside he saw the figure of Kiru and sakura, speaking together.

Kiru threw a smack at sakura, who toppled to the ground.

He also saw tenten and Kiru's master (who Sakura called Miru) fighting.

He ran in, making everyone stop and stare. "what's going on!"

Sakura set up and ran up to Lee. "Please kiru...he has to know. He's that way."

Kiru sighed and shook his hand. "Alright."

Miru and Tenten continued though.

"We came here to retrieve what is ours." He said.

Sakura shook her head. "No, It's not yours! It was my mo-" Kiru pucnhed Sakura so hard she fell out cold, leaving a stunned Lee.

"As I was saying. My master never liked Sakura's parents, he liked her though. See, my dear master is her uncle. He wanted sakura to find a right man that would work for him. Her parents though got in the way."

Kiru took a look a Sakura on the ground. "I'm Miru's nephew...and Sakura's brother."

Lee gasped! "No way!"

"YES way." Kiru cursed. "Master left it up to me to make this blanket to give to Sakura. It was under a spell that would attrack the right and powerful guy for her. Well. Later on Miru killed my parents, and Sakuras. I sort of hated him a little after that. That was also when I told Sakura that her mom gave her the blancket, to end master's game. So she took off with it. Master never blamed me, he didn't know. I played with his trick. Well, now he wants the blanket back, to find a servant of his own. So here we are today."

Lee almost was too chocked to say anything, so instead he punched Kiru, who only stumbled.

He cusred and ran toward Lee, kunai in hand.

That was when sakura threw her body up and let Kiru stab her instead.

Kiru gasped and let the kunai dropped the floor. Watching blood leave sakura.

"Go Lee. I don't want you to get hurt." Sakura muttered.

"Not without you. We must destroy Kiru and Miru."

Sakura shook her head. "No...their family we can't!" she spoke softly then yelled.

Lee grabbed Sakura and place her against the wall. "Not after what I just heard."

Then his target was Miru. The real enemy.

Tenten was out cold, so it was up to Lee.

He blew a kick across his face, then punched him again and a again in the gut.

Blood now was seeping through Miru's mouth.

"Don't speak much do you?" teased Lee. Miru though gripped Lee's leg and pulled him down.

"Don't touch me." Hu muttered and kicked Lee also in the gut.

---

As their battle ragged, Kiru was confused on now what to do.

He eyed Sakura. Then he lifted her body and left.

"I'm sorry master. But I care more for Sakura then you."

---

Kiru had reached Sakura's home.

He softly placed her on the coach and went in search of the bed.

Neji was gone, and the blanket was on the floor.

He picked it up and walked over to the fireplace in the living room.

He made a hand sign, and with a fire jutsu, made flames upon the wood. He threw the blanket in the fire, watching the fire's crackling laugh as it ate up the blanket.

He knew Miru would have his head now.

----

Miru was chasing Lee and Tenten now. They have escaped in panic and ruched to Sakura's house.

They threw open the door and were surprised to see Kiru, and the blanket in the fire.

Miru cursed out loud and ushed Lee and Tenten aside.

"What has happened here!" he yelled, eying Sakura and Kiru.

"I no longer can take this. Seeing how this Lee cares for Sakura so much, and how I have not really makes me think. I burned the blanket, so more fight."

Nut he was wrong. Miru jumped upon him and a battle had to rage.

--

It was now hours later, the The fight had ened. Skura had woken to find Kiru dead on the floor, and a dying miru.

Lee walked up, kicked Miru in the head and he died.

Sakura shot her head back and forth.

"What happened!" He yelled.

Lee placed his arm around Sakura. "I tell you once their bodies are taken care of of."
