Chapter 6: I'll never forgive you (prt3)
"Um, Sasuke, wait a second!" Sakura said while rapidly chasing after Sasuke. As Sasuke turned around, Sakura quickly tried to form a sentence. "Um, uh, how about we, uh, train together? We could work on teamwork- NOT NARUTO- but, uh, you know, just the two of us?" She asked, desperately trying to score a date. "Instead of flirting, you should be training. Even dobe over there is better than you. Before I even acknowledge you, get better than Naruto." He said, brushing her off. She silently began to cry as her crush walked away.
'These are the tears I cry.
Now, Sasuke hates me.
It's all my fault.
Now he'll never want me.
These are the tears I cry.
Constantly, every day,
I try to make him mine,
But he keeps running away.
These are the tears I cry.
I'm worst than that idiot over there.
What am I going to do?
My heart has sunken deep in despair.
These are the tears I cry.
He'll see a different side of me.
I'm through crying and
"I'M GONNA MAKE SASUKE-KUN FALL IN LOVE WITH ME!!!"
Naruto sweatdropped. He walked over to Sakura and sighed. "Hey, forget about him. We can train together." He said-in a rather serious voice for Naruto. Sakura just glared at him, wishing he could go burn somewhere. "Hey there." A girl said from behind the pair. "Oh, hi Kuro-Chan!" Naruto said. She smiled and immediately turned to Sakura. Suddenly, every feature on her face looked serious. Sakura noticed that the girl looked older for her age and was taller than her. When Zakuro finally spoke, she caught Sakura by surprise for she was looking at the rain headband on her waist.
"You like him, but you do the exact thing that drives him away." She said. Unfortunately, Sakura wasn't feeling too kind. "Shouldn't you be training or something?" Sakura asked, all too dryly. "Nope, we just got back from our forth mission." She answered, smiling. She then lowered her voice and began her 'therapy.' "Well, Sakura, the only way to get Sasuke is to stop getting on his nerves. Stop acting like such a fangirl. He hates that, so you're going to change that." "What do you mean change!?!" She asked angrily. Zakuro sighed. She could tell this was going to be a long talk.
"Not everything about you, just the fangirl part. Act like you don't care as much." That forced Sakura to calm herself. Her voice was just short of a whisper. "But I do care Kuro-chan, I do care." The young genin said. "I know you do. I think I know better than anyone else. But trust me; Sasuke's not that type of guy." "Oh, he's not?" Sakura asked mockingly, practically demanding Naruto's attention. "No, he's not. That's why you two aren't sipping on drinks right now. If you aren't all up in him about 'be my boyfriend! Be my boyfriend!' rant and more distant, maybe he'll see you for who you really are. He just might notice your good looks while you're training and decide to get to know the real you." "Ohhh, so now you're the expert!" The leaf nin exclaimed. Naruto wanted to jump in badly, but he knew Sakura couldn't handle Zakuro.
"I bet you're used to guys staring at your big butt! Is that how you get guys kuro-chan?!" Sakura asked, using the nickname sarcastically. "Sakura, you know Zakuro's not that type of girl." Naruto said, trying to defend his friend without hurting the other. "Oh well look at you! Are you under her spell!?!" The girl asked, peeved at the world. "Naruto-kun likes me for who I am. Besides, I know someone else who'd be perfect for him. I'm trying to help you as a friend." Sakura just grunted. Zakuro was beginning to loose her patience. She tried to stay calm though, even now.
"You're no friend." Sakura puffed, turning her nose up at the girl. "Sakura…" Naruto began. "Why am I not a friend? I'm only sharing the knowledge I had from dating. Other girls do it, and it works for them. I just didn't like seeing you so upset all of the time." "Yeah, I bet it did work. So tell me, how many babies do you have you slut!?!" Sakura shouted, looking more and more annoyed with the sweet girl talk coming from her ex-teammate.
"What!?" She asked, confused. "And by how many guys?" She asked while grinning an evil, sarcastic grin. "I only had one boyfriend." Zakuro said, even more agitated with Sakura. "I'm only 12." "Oh, please. I know good and well that you were throwing your butt in everyone's face!!! Especially that boyfriend of yours!!! You nasty little thing!" Sakura's rampage was unheard of. Naruto had seen her fight with Ino, but never like this. It's like Sakura was trying too hard, and nothing seemed right anymore. The young boy watched in awe. as his hidden rain friend snap. Sakura had no chance.
"HOW DARE YOU TALK ABOUT HIM!?! YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HIM! YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME!!! You'll pay." She said, suddenly. "Boy are you gonna pay. "Her attitude changed. She had went from angry rampage to happy evil. It was demonic. It was insane. It was the Zakuro she thought she left in the hidden rain. Water appeared around Zakuro. Around the water was fire. The small ears she was hiding with a jutsu suddenly popped out. She had worn her headband over her head, but around her waist was more of her style. (1)
She began to laugh. Yes, Zakuro has gone insane. Sakura, now realizing what she had gotten in snapped out of rampage and pulled out kunai. She was shaking.
Naruto watched her spar with Sasuke. He never noticed her use any demonic chakra; she usually fought with water. The fire around her water was definitely the two-tailed cat's chakra.
Zakuro attacked Sakura. She couldn't do any thing but scream as the girl clawed at her back. (2) She then began to use her jutsus against Sakura. "Water style: hidden shuriken no jutsu!" She shouted once Sakura got out of range. Although she couldn't escape the fire, Sakura could escape Zakuro's claws; but only for a short while. Blasts of water balls came hurling at Sakura. She tried to block the water balls, but she didn't realize that they had shuriken in them. (3)
A few hit the girl. They didn't do a lot of damage though. That was only because once she saw the shuriken within; Sakura had the sense to dodge. Zakuro laughed even more than before as a marvelous idea came into her head. 'Why waste chakra killing the girl?' She then launched out six kunai at Sakura. Only six.
The barrier around them disappeared and Naruto was able to see the girls. Unfortunately, the tree that Sakura didn't see due to the barrier now held her captive. She was now stuck with six kunai keeping her on there. None hit her physical body, but each one; all six had Sakura hanging to the tree by her clothing.
After seeing the six kunai, Zakuro's insanity ceased. She looked at Naruto who had ran over to Sakura. He couldn't see any of Sakura's wounds though. (2a) "Zakuro…what happened?" He asked, expecting a direct answer. "When she wakes up, tell her I'm sorry. Then go on with your life and act like nothing happened. Any pain or injury I inflicted on her will be easy to heal. You won't even need to use chakra." "But Zakuro, why?" He asked, remembering what Sakura had said about Zakuro. He sighed and sat on a rock nearby. "You didn't have to do that to her." He said, slightly angry. Zakuro then understood why. "You like her, yet you do the exact thing that drives her away." She said, paraphrasing her own words. Naruto looked up ready to make a comeback, but she was gone.
Shortly after, Sakura woke up. He quickly got her off the tree and when he saw the little bit of blood on her upper back, he wiped it off with a cloth.
"She said she was sorry." Silence. A long, silent silence that only happens when you knew you were wrong. "I wasn't myself." "I know." "I just wanted to be with Sasuke!" "Teme." The boy said, and stood up. He began to look away from his crush. He didn't know the same side of her that he saw moments ago would later save his life. No one knew. They all thought Sakura had lost it; but in essence, she gained something. Something great.
(A/U)
When the Hokage first saw Zakuro, she didn't know how to hide her cat-like features. That's why she wore her headband on her head when she first showed up. Later on, she wears her headband around her waist. She appears to have normal ears and everything, but when she released some of the two-tail's chakra, her features returned.
Her claws reached her upper back due to the position Sakura was in. If she was trying to grab her, Zakuro would have had her by the collar. (a) Sakura's hair went off to the side, that's how Naruto was able to see the wounds. Zakuro didn't claw her more than about 15 times. The last 5or 10 times, Sakura was harder to reach.
I just took one of Sasuke's fire techniques and changed the name. The attack has the same affect, but you don't try to blow the fire out.
Originally, this chapter was going to be longer, but for the sake of me having to run errands the rest of the day, the readers, the deletion of the original chapter six, and the name of the chapter, the second part-not part 4- will be done at a later time. I'm sorry pplz, but my mom is threatening to kill me if I don't hurry up and get off the computer. (Where I live, it's 12:20 in the morning. Not that I'm not usually on this late, but I have a lot to do later on) I'll try and write some more today, but I know I wont be posting anytime soon.
See yaz'!
