You know what I do own? Not Naruto.But things. Neat things...
Neither Sakura nor Naruto woke through the night. As morning rolled around, Sasuke was dismayed to find that his discipline had failed him, that he of all people had fallen asleep on the job. He had awoke just on time he could hear the sound of voices, unfamiliar ones at that. Stealthily he left the copse where he had concealed his friends, to find that right outside waited three shinobi.
"You're awake Sasuke-kun," the girl said, with a wicked little grin crossing her face. "I thought we'd be waiting here all day."
Sasuke spoke in his usual monotone, "You're the Sound Shinobi? Orochimaru's minions?"
The bandaged one replied this time with a blunt and forceful, "Yes. Zaku, I'll let you have him."
Zaku stepped forward, a smirk on his face as he appraised his badly injured opponent. "Why Orochimaru would take any interest in you is completely beyond me. Any idea Sasuke." He moved then throwing a blast of air and supersonic energy as the response to his question. He laughed loudly as Sasuke's body was hurled into a tree blood spattering everywhere, followed by... a puff of smoke.
"Zaku, behind you!" the bandaged man yelled, panic evident in his voice.
"Katon, Housenka No Jutsu!" Sasuke spoke, completely the jutsu, throwing dozens of bolts of flame at his foe, smirking knowingly to himself. One down...
Zaku smiled to. "Pathetic. I'll erase it." He threw a blast of air, instantly extinguishing the fire, to reveal shurikens, perhaps thirty in number. He let out a desperate wail as they crashed into him, striking his eyes, face, his chest, his arms, his precious arms!. He fell to the ground, crying out in pain, trying to claw the sharp metal out of his eyes, gouging himself terribly since their was a shuriken embedded in his hand.
The girl screamed the fallen mans names, throwing a series of needles at Sasuke, who managed to dodge of all them but one. He'd had a lot of practice dodging needles, Sasuke thought grimly. He started signing again, but was dismayed to see that the world was starting to spin, leaving him nauseous. He neverless managed hold his composure long enough to finish his jutsu, tightly gripping one of the many lengths of wire he had scattered outside of the encampment for this very purpose.
"Katon, Ryuuka no Jutsu." He intoned as the world exploded into flames, killing the girl, whose name, Kin, he discovered simaltaneously to her death as it was screamed by her yet unamed companion. Still the damage was done. He fell to his knees, his vision blurred to the point were he couldn't see a thing.
He heard the sound of footfalls approaching, yet couldn't force the world to right itself, lying on his side on the ground, and the world went black.
Sakura awoke to the smell of charred flesh, and blood. There was the ashen remants of what she could only assume had once been a shinobi not one hundred feet from her, while another man lay screaming perhaps one hundred away from the scorched corpse. And Sasuke, her beloved Sasuke lay motionless on the ground at the feet of some bandaged freak. She felt her neck and face burning, painfully, and threw herself at the man in front of her with reckless resolve. He spun rapidly and struck her hard across the face, bloodying her face, and throwing the slight girl back several feet. She was on him in a flash after that, pounding his face, his chest, feeling the satisfying feeling as his bones shattered beneath his hands, the delicous scent of blood thick in the air. The was, delightful, she thought to herself, and started to laugh, the echo of it resounding through the air. With supernatural strength she threw the man bodily threw that air, where he landed heavily at the base of a tree. He managed to pull himself to his feet, and started to run, grabbing his screaming companion as he went. She started to give chase, only to hear a vaguely familiar voice echo from behind her.
"Sakura-San?"
Cliff hanger, Kinda. Whoever could it be. Much more importantly, whats going to happen to him?
