Sorry it took so long, my teahers were being a bit of a pain this week, it's almost mid-terms :(
Well, enjoy :)
Chapter Six
"Ok, let's start," Iruka said.
Kaoru at first, kept hitting to ring around the bull's-eye, but eventually she began getting the hang of it, soon enough, her aim was reduced to almost all bull's-eyes. Afterwards, she was about to throw another shuriken, she suddenly collapsed onto her knees as she held her stomach. She was spitting up blood uncontrollably.
"It's coming soon…" Kaoru whispered. "Her appearance is coming soon. Please be careful…"
Her? Who's her?
It was too late to ask because Kaoru had passed out from the pain. Sasuke carried her back bridal style. He then laid her on his bed. Iruka told Sasuke that he was going to get medic-nins. Kaoru's words were still echoing through his mind.
Her appearance is coming soon. Please be careful…
Is this girl someone that Kaoru knows? What is there to be careful about? Sasuke had too many questions on his mind and before he knew it, Iruka was back with the medic-nins he promised.
They began checking Kaoru's body for any weak organs or anything peculiar. They found nothing. All they could do was try their best to find out what they could do to help.
Suddenly, Kaoru's body glowed purple, then faded. Kaoru slowly opened her eyes and gazed at all the people around her. She sat up, and began to speak.
"What's wrong? Why are you all starin at me!?"
"Um Kaoru, you passed out on Sasuke's lawn," Iruka explained
Kaoru had a soft, yet sad, smile on her features. "Oh I see…"
"Maybe we should leave so Kaoru can get some rest?" Iruka suggested.
Iruka and the medic-nins left, leaving Sasuke and Kaoru alone in silence. "Who is she?" Sasuke asked quietly. Kaoru smirked at his question.
"We all have questions in life; most of them will be answered in the long run,"
Sasuke nodded, still not understanding, but he let it slide. He went downstairs, laid on the couch and closed his eyes slowly until sleep took its full effect on him.
When Kaoru was sure that he was asleep she walked in quietly and kneeled down to his position and thought, we all have questions in life; most of them will be answered in the long run, but the rest may never be answered…
Sasuke was in complete darkness. He started to try to walk, but no matter how hard he tried, it always seemed that he hadn't gotten anywhere at all. It all seemed hopelessly dark until he heard a voice singing.
In you and I… there's a new land…
Angels in flight…
My sanctuary, my sanctuary, yeah…
Where fears and lies…
Melt away…
Then, after those verses were done, he heard water; a drop had fallen on his hand. Out of pure curiosity, he tasted it. It tasted salty.
Tears?
He then heard to voice begin singing again. It oddly reminded him of someone else's voice.
Music in time…
Sasuke was then, blinded by a bright light, and he was slipping away from this place.
What's left of me? What's left of me now?
Sasuke awoke to a sweet voice. He saw Kaoru sitting next to him. She probably didn't know he was awake because she was still singing to herself.
"I watch you… fast asleep… all I fear is nothing…" Kaoru stopped because she finally noticed that Sasuke was awake and staring at her. When she realized this she began to blush madly and panic. It was actually cute and funny seeing her that way.
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't know you were awake! Um do you need anything?" Kaoru asked politely. Sasuke frowned a little; he was disappointed. He liked the way Kaoru sang and still wanted to hear it. But he didn't want to show Kaoru this, so he put his emotionless face back on. "No," and he got up and left out the door. Kaoru smiled after he left.
In you and I… there's a new land too right?
