Okay new chapter. Tell me what ya think! Oh yeah if anyone happened to form a really strong emotional attachment to Nari, and/or Saru, sorry but they aren't really important to the story, so this is their last chapter.

You know what your problem is," Nari asked. Yuura sighed and glared at him, "no what's my problem? You are a complete dork, I mean seriously, who falls out of a tree?" Yuura's glare intensified, "I have said it five freaking times now, I DIDN'T FALL! Saru pushed me." Nari sighed too, "and there's the other problem, what were you and Saru doing that made her angry enough to push you?" "You know what Nari, I have no freaking clue, she just pushed me and went off with Sakura." Nari sighed again, "women constantly confuse me do you think maybe-"

Both boys looked up as they heard a large boom in the distance, and over the treetops they could see fire, but what was fire doing above the trees? They looked at each other and their thoughts mirrored each other's, the village. Both boys ran off down the path, when they reached the viallge there were masked men running all around, and one by one, screaming, men, women, and little children were being silenced forever. Without even thinking they both rushed into the fight. Yuura couldn't believe it, a man jumped in his path and he grabbed his favorite kunai and lashed out, then ran. He didn't even care if the man was dead or not. Looking around he ran off towards another one.

Saru was stunned, she had just been talking with Sakura when a fireball came out of nowhere, now Sakura was on the ground protecting her with her body.
"Sakura," she whimpered, "Sakura, get up, please get up." It was no use, Sakura's head had a huge gash on it from one of the rocks on the ground. Slowly pushing her off Saru got up. Then she heard the laughter, turning she saw one of the men. He was looking at her through his mask, and she turned cold, so cold she didn't do anything. Not even when he walked up to her slowly drawing his sword. She did nothing when he ran her through with it, and she did nothing except fall to the ground when he walked away.

Sakura blinked, shaking her head a bit to get rid of the pain, it didn't work. Slowly moving her arm she reached up and felt the gash on her forehead. Wincing she listened to the screams and started to get up. On her knees she was about to stand when she heard a whimper, then another. Turning around she saw Saru on the ground but her relief at seeing her friend went away when she saw Saru's face. She was panting and she was blinking a lot. Crawling over to her she picked her up slightly so that she was resting on her lap. Then she noticed the gaping wound in her stomach and the blood that went with it.

Panic rose, "hey Saru, Saru, you there. Come one say something for me please." Saru flicked her eyes up to Sakura's, her breath getting shorter.

"Hey," she whispered softly, "hey," Sakura whispered back, "I'm here you're going to be just fine." Saru laughed weakly. "I don't think so. Make sure you tell the guys how much I love them, you guys were my only family. Maybe I'll see you again... after this. Remember to look for me, I'll be looking for you."

Sakura watched her friend's eyes begin to close. "No Saru, don't go! Stay here please, don't go don't go." Sakura continued to whisper it even when Saru's eyes lost their focus and her head lolled to the side. She held her tightly weeping softly. Then she stopped and slowly she looked up her eyes murderous. Gently laying Saru's body down, she closed her eyes, and then getting up walked towards the screams, her headache forgotten. Looking over she saw the body of a man with a katana by his side, reaching down she picked it up. Concentrating she conjured up a pink image of it for her left hand, and then swinging both she charged the nearest masked man. Then the next and then the next. And each time she killed one she screamed. Her red, black, and pink eyes, swirling.

Jishan couldn't believe it. Dead, everywhere. No matter where he looked he couldn't escape the faces. Everyone he knew was dead. He needed to find his friends and fast. Before he lost his mind. Looking around he thought of Sakura first, so he started searching.

He found Yuura first, he was just standing there leaning against the wall. He looked up when Jishan came over and smiled weakly. Nineteen kills. Beat that. Then he closed his eyes, slid down the wall, and sighed. Jishan knelt down next to him, worried, until he noticed that Yuura had just fallen asleep. Satified knowing his friend would be ok he went off looking for the others. Then he saw Nari.

At first he though he was just standing against the wall looking out, but then he saw it. The short black blade sticking out of his friend's chest, pinning him to the wall. Jishan slowed as he came up to Nari. Not really thinking all he did was pull out the kunai, and carefully catch and lower Nari's body to the dirty ground. Then he walked over to the left and few feet, knelt down, and threw up against the wall.

Feeling completely numb inside he went off looking for Saru and Sakura.

He found Saru first, he knew she was dead as soon as he saw her laying down with her hands at her sides. Wanting to scream, he knelt down next to her, and placed his hand on her head. It was cold. He picked her up carefully, and brought her back over to where Nari was lying. Putting her down next to him he once more went off to look for Sakura. For what seemed like hours, he searched. Then he saw the pile of bodies.

It wasn't the pile that grabbed his attention, it was the flickering pink swords stuck into most of them. If they haven't been put out, that means she hasn't deactivated them yet, but by being activated still, she must still be alive. With that in mind he started off again. But he didn't get far.

As he was about to leave the carnage, one of the bodies moved. Wary, he grabbed one of the faintly glowing swords and pulled it out of a body with a slight sucking noise. It held its shape. Holding it in front of him he poked the body that had just moved. Nothing, he poked again, still nothing. Then one of the arms moved. And a small groan came out from what seemed to be under it.

And another hand appeared. It was small, pale, graceful, and bloody.

Jishan immediately dropped the sword and pushed the body away. Sakura was laying there, with what seemed to be the dead man's knife stuck in her ribs. He dropped down beside her and placed his hand next to the wound not sure what to do.

"Jishan," Sakura's voice was weak. But he heard her and nodded. "Shhh, don't talk." She shook her head. "Saru's dead," Jishand nodded, "I know." "It's my fault," Sakura whimpered. He shook his head hard. "No it wasn't. It was whoever killed her, it was his fault."

Sakura didn't seem to hear him. She simply reached over to the knife in her chest, grabbed the handle, and ripped it out with a strangled cry. Jishan gasped and gaped at her. Did she have a death wish? Placing his hand over the now gaping wound he pressed down hard and muffled an oath when she screamed lightly, her eyes rolling up into the back of her head. Carefully he ripped of the bottom of his shirt and used to bandage her wound. It wasn't perfect but it would do. Carefully picking her up he brought her over to where Yuura was. Laying her down he went in search of supplies. Returning about an hour later he found Yuura awake, and re-bandaging her wound. He looked up when Jishan placed a blanket on her legs. Then they both lifted her up and placed another under her. After they were done Yuura spoke up.

"Where's Nari, and what about Saru?" Jishan looked at him and shook his head slowly. Yuura jumped to his feet.

"NO! NO, NO, NO! They are not dead. Tell me they are not dead Jishan!" Jishan stayed silent. Yuura started pacing. "Where are they?" He demanded. Jishan sighed. "I put them together by the east entrance." Yuura took one last look at Sakura then stalked off. Jishan picked her hand up in his own. And finally with his head bent to hers, he let himself cry. Cry until he was empty. And when Yuura returned hours later, his eyes were dry.

Okay, what did ya think? I tried to make this chapter a little longer than the rest, and from now on to make sure this story doesn't go on and on, I'm going to make sure that all the chapters are long. So it may take a while to update because I'm going to have a lot to write. Stay tuned for more! Oh yeah if you want anything to happen in the story that you think should please tell me and I'll try to add it in.
