Yeah, Decided to continue. Tell meh what you think.
"What do you mean he left!?" Danzo yelled. Ino and Kiba cringed at the anger and venom leaking from Danzo's voice.
"Gomen Hokage-sama." Both bowed. "Naruto fought back instead of taking it like he always did, and our anbu were no match for the Uchiha. Orochimaru's training was too much for us."
Danzo's nostrils flared as he looked down at the two anbu in front of him. But, after so much spying on Naruto, he knew of one thing that is sure to get his attention. "Get Haruno and take her in for questioning, and as a bargaining chip."
Ino and Kiba both straightened up and nodded as an understanding. Both turned and left. Danzo turned and looked out into Konoha and its darkness. It has only been an hour since they left, but the anbu and Hyuugas have failed to track them down. "Damn them."
--Forest—
Both Naruto and Sasuke were running furiously to get as far away from Konoha as possible. They have ran over ten miles already, and they had only left Konoha a short while ago. Sasuke was getting a little tired and restless, so he signaled Naruto to stop.
"Yeah?" Naruto looked around and saw that they stopped right at a stream.
"Let's take a break." Naruto nodded hesitantly and sat down. Sasuke went to the stream and washed his face and filled a bottle that he had on him.
"Your team is getting restless." Sasuke turned back toward Naruto and saw that he was in his sage mode.
Sasuke shrugged. "Yeah, well Karin probably felt my chakra disappear and woke up. Now she's probably panicking cause she can't feel my chakra period."
Naruto chuckled. "Yeah, well then it's my fault for covering us. D they even know that I'm coming?"
Sasuke thought for a second and shook his head. "Only Suigetsu knows, Juugo doesn't care, and I made it so she doesn't know about you."
Naruto looked at him curiously with his head tilted over. "Why?"
"I don't want her hurt. She has a crush on me like Sakura and Ino had, so I don't want her to try and follow me or to expose us." Naruto nodded an okay. "By the way," Naruto snapped to attention, "How's Sakura?"
Naruto's face saddened a little, but a little ray of happiness spread across his eyes. "she's still in depression, but she finally spoke again when I told her that we were leaving."
"Do you think that she'll be okay?" Sasuke asked worriedly.
Naruto nodded. "I made sure that no one will be able to hurt her."
Sasuke sat down next to Naruto and leaned his head on his arm. "You know, you are my angel."
Naruto smiled and laid his head on top of Sasuke's.
--Konoha—
Sakura went over to her dresser and put on a CD and sat down on her bed. Her window was open as she looked out into the star filled sky over Konoha. She wouldn't speak again, but she hummed along with the song.
What I thought was a light
'Sasuke…' She thought.
In the light
Was one of a kind
A precious pearl.
'His heart…'
When I wanted to cry,
I couldn't cause I,
Wasn't allowed.
'I was too weak to stop him, and too weak to save Naruto.'
Gomenasai…
For everything.
'I'm sorry.'
Gomenasai…
I know I let you down.
'I couldn't protect Naruto.'
Gomenasai to the end.
I never needed a friend,
Like I do now.
'I wish I were with you both.'
"Sakura." Sakura looked up and saw Ino at her door way. They were once good friends, but Sasuke had pulled them apart once. Now, she was just cold.
What I thought was a law,
'I must protect the village,' thought Ino. "I have orders from the Hokage."
Sakura just looked at her for a moment longer and turned back to ward her window.
So innocent,
Was a delicate doll,
Of porcelain.
'She has fallen so far into depression.' Sakura's sorrow and pain filled eyes bore holes through Ino's heart.
When I wanted to call you
And ask you for help,
'I needed you Sakura...'
I stopped myself!
'But it seems you needed me more.'
Gomenasai…
'I'm sorry.' Ino walked forward and touched Sakura's shoulder, but Sakura flinched away. 'I can't do it.'
For everything.
'I'm sorry, Ino.'
Gomenasai…
'I'm useless…'
I know I let you down.
"I'll do it." Ino turned around to see Kiba at the door way.
'I don't want to let him.'
Gomenasai till the end
Kiba walked forward, but Ino tried to block him. "It's okay, I can do it." Kiba just shoved her to the side.
I never needed a friend,
'Naruto, Sasuke. I need you.' Tears started to leak out of Sakura's eyes
Like I do now…
Kiba took his kunai, and went in to stab her, but before the kunai made contact, she disappeared.
What I thought was a dream,
And a rush.
"Where'd she go?!" Barked Kiba.
Was as real as it seemed,
Sakura was shocked to feel herself moving. 'Am I dreaming?' As quickly as she felt herself moving, she felt herself stop. She was in a forest, but she didn't know how she got there.
"Sakura!" Sakura looked up and saw both Naruto and Sasuke running toward her.
A privilege.
'She's gone,' thought Ino.
When I wanted to tell you,
I made a mistake.
'I couldn't even tell her sorry.'
I walked away!
The CD in Sakura's room kept playing as Kiba sniffed around with Akamaru.
Gomenasai…
For everything.
Gomenasai…
Gomenasai…
Gomenasai…
I never needed a friend,
Like I do now…Sakura wasn't the only one going into depression, so this was Ino's breaking point. She took out her family's most potent yet painless poison and injected herself.
Gomenasai…
I let you down.
Gomenasai…
Gomenasai…
Gomenasai till the end.
I never needed a friend.
'I'm sorry Sakura. Maybe now, I can make sure that you're okay…' Her hand dropped, and her eyes fluttered closed as she drifted from the living world.
Like I do now.
"Ino." Kiba called. She didn't respond, so he turned around. "Ino." She just laid there. "Ino!" He crouched down and shook her, but it was too late. She wasn't responding, and he was crying.
What I thought was a light
In the light
Was one of a kind
A precious pearl.
The song was on repeat.
