Angel: Hi guys… sorry again for the long update… school keeps bugging me these days, specially the Cheering competition has just ended and we lost! Plus we just finished our exams… Sigh…again sorry for the looong up date! Hehe any ways enjoy!
Chapter 15: Sakura in trouble
The group gathered in the living room, no one dared to speak… they were waiting for Pao to show up, he said that he have something to say to all of them, something really important about Sakura…
They all looked at Sasuke
Sasuke walked back and forth, ever since Sakura was kidnapped he couldn't calm himself…'Man… this is all my fault! I swear I'm gonna kill who ever is responsible to this…'
Pao emerged from the door, he was holding an old scroll with cherry blossom patterns on it, he walked up to them and stood in the middle…
"Sorry that I kept you guys waiting, I really have to find this scroll… I had a theory why they kidnapped Sakura, but I had to make sure so I searched this scroll" He explained…
"So what's in it?" Gaara asked… he was also worried
"About the Haruno clan's secret…" He replied while sitting down…
Every one started looking at one another…
"What kind of secret?" Sasuke started…
Everybody looked at him and looked back at Pao…
"Yeah, what kind of secret?" Naruto repeated…
Pao opened the scroll… the whole room was bounded with cherry blossom scent…
"You see… the Haruno clan wasn't like the other clans who have bloodline limit that every clan member has… Our clan was a bit different, every 100 years one member of the clan would posses a special ability… or should I say the Haruno's mystical Bloodline limit… as I read through this scroll, it said that only the Haruno who was as pretty as the cherry blossom, and eyes as green as an emerald would poses this Bloodline limit…"
"And… and that would be Sakura?" Ino asked even though she already know the answer cause she hopped it wasn't Sakura…
"Hai…" Pao replied… Ino laid back into the couch… Shikamaru squeezed Ino's shoulder to show her that he's here for her
"So what about it? What would they want to Sakura? It's not like they have some thing that only Sakura can give" Neji said
"Actually yes… there's some thing about Sakura's blood line that they need… you probably heard about the Orashiwa clan…"
"Yeah, as far as I know they were paid to slaughter the Haruno clan…" Ino said… "well that's what Sakura told me…"
"In fact they weren't really paid to kill the clan… they just made that up… the truth is the Orashiwa discovered the Hidden water falls between the cloud and the mist… the water falls is surrounded by Cherry blossoms trees so it wouldn't be easily seen…and inside it isa crypt where all the treasure of the Haruno clan is stored…" Pao paused for a moment to look at his listeners… most of their heads were bowed down so their reactions are couldn't be seen… "The crypt inside the water falls can't be opened by anyone, but…"
"Sakura…" Ten Ten continued, her eyes were now full of tears… Neji hugged her to give her comfort….
"Yes, Anyone but Sakura, according to this scroll the chosen one would have to perform a forbidden jutsu to open the crypt, but this jutsu will take the person's …" Pao couldn't continue… his knees were shaking uncontrollably, but he chose to continue since they have to know what would happened "it will.. take the person's life"
The girls gasped and started to cry one by one… Temari tried to hold it in but soon enough she also broke down
Sasuke cursed, he kicked the couch and left the room…
"Sasuke-teme!" Naruto yelled, he stood up to follow Sasuke when Neji stopped him…
"Let him be Naruto…" Neji said with out even looking up to him, he was still busy soothing Ten Ten
Naruto sat back down beside Hinata as she buried her head on Naruto's chest… "Naruto-kun… it's... it's... unfair…why…Sakura…" she started to sob louder… Naruto just hugged Hinata, since even him, the future Hokage, can't do anything about it…
"What can we do?" Shikamaru finally said, he was now really worried… Ino hadn't eat any thing since Sakura was kidnapped….
"Shouldn't we contact Konoha and tell Tsunade about this?" Gaara suggested, he has his eyes closed and is in deep thinking…
"We should… but then again it will just alarm the whole Konoha since Sakura's a bit famous back there" Kiba spoke, Akamaru barked in approval to what his master just said…
"Yeah, that's true…" Gaara said…
"We should plan this carefully if we want to rescue Sakura" Pao said, he sat down beside Temari…
-------
Sakura woke up with a really bad head ache… "owww… what happened?" She scanned the room around her, it was really dark. She tried to stand up, but she failed… her hands and feet were all tied up… she struggled to remove the rope around her hands…
"don't even try to remove that Sakura-chan…" A voice said…
Sakura looked around and saw a shadow coming towards her "Who are you!"
"Some one who needs you… actually not really you but your powers…" the voice replied…
"What powers?" Sakura said quite confused
"So you don't even know your own abilities? Shame on you…" The voice laughed "Sakura-chan, Sakura-chan… don't you know you are a very special girl? A girl that has a very special ability…" the shadow walked around her… but still she couldn't see his face…
"What special ability…" Sakura asked, she again tried to remove the ropes….
"Oh… so Little miss Sakura-chan is innocent about her family's secret…." The voice replied, the shadow came closer a bit… "Poor Sakura-chan…." The voice chuckled…
As the shadow came closer, Sakura could recognize her capture's voice… 'No that can't be…I saved him once…' "Jiru?"
"Why I'm flattered you can still recognize me Sakura-chan" The shadow stepped closer to Sakura, his face was illuminated by the lights from the open door… the guy standing infront of her was indeed Jiru, the one Sakura save months ago…
(A/N: for those who have good memory… Jiro was already introduced before… he one one of the people who left messages in Sakura's answering machine…)
"I cant believe it's you!" Sakura yelled "how could you do this! I saved your life!"
"Saved me?" Jiru laughed "Are you kidding me? I can't believe you fell for that… the whole rescuing me thing was a set up…"
"A set up?"
"Yeah, are you deaf or some thing? It's a set up… so we can spy on you…" Jiru bend down to her "And to think you were smarter than us"
"You good for nothing bastard! Why did you do this to me!"
"So you really don't know huh?" He sat beside her… "Well let me tell you the whole story…"
Sakura looked at him…
"You probably know the Orashiwa clan.." Jiru started "well our clan… found a small cavern inside a hidden waterfall between the Mist Village and the Cloud Village… the waterfall is surrounded by cherry blossoms… as we got in there were writings that were encrypted on the wall with the Haruno sign on it, later on as our scientist study those wrttings we found out a secret about your family… Only the chosen one could open that cavern, and in it was the Haruno's treasure… the spring of life…"
"Spring of life? Is there any such thing?"
"We are not sure yet, for we haven't seen it. But we would take chances…" Jiru went up to her and lifted her head… "The writings said that the chosen one would have to perform a forbidden jutsu to open the crypt but unfortunately she would have to die, and that chosen one is you Sakura-chan…"
Sakura bit his hands… "that cant be me… and how can you be sure its me…"
Jiru shook his hands, "you one stubborn girl!" He slapped her across the face… "you have no rights to bite me!"
Sakura just smirked at him….
"Any how, we know its you since it also stated that he chosen one would be as pretty as cherry blossom and eyes as green as emeralds… and I have to admit you remind me of those cherry blossom we burned!" he laugh sarcastically
"I hate you!" Sakura yelled
"Why thank you…." Jiru stood up and headed his way to the door "And oh before I forgot, you have to perform that jutsu or else your friends die…"
"Die? Why? What did you do to them!"
"You know that old lady? Miyako? Well she's not really the owner of that resort… we killed the real owners… she's an undercover ninja so she can spy on you…" and with that he left….
----
The grouped planned a way to rescue Sakura; they placed Kiba, Neji, Hinata, Ten Ten, Shino and Gaara on the search process to know where Sakura is. Pao, Temari, Ino, Naruto, Kankuro and Shikamaru were on the search to find the waterfall. The others are placed as a back up one they found Sakura… Sasuke was so pissed he wasn't included in the search, but Pao and the others insisted that he should stay since he might get too hot blooded once they found the place…
"Damn! Why didn't they let me join that stupid search?" Sasuke cursed again, he kept kicking the poor bed inside his room…
He laid down on the bed and stared at the ceiling…
Unknown to Sasuke, a shadow was scouting outside the window, it threw out green power that eventually surrounded the air and soon enough Sasuke fell into deep sleep…
The others outside one by one fell asleep too and in time the resort was so quiet that not even a sound from a small bird could be heard….
