Shinobi Wolf Chronicles
I don't own Naruto or the legend of werewolves!
Chapter 12: Times Come
And just for everyone's information Sasuke never joined the Akastuki but they killed Madara and anyone else remaining. Oh and Danzo's dead too!
Last Chapter…
About 10 minutes after the band finished playing, Sasuke was talking with the Rookie 9 and Lee, until…
THUD!
*GASP! *
"SSAAAAAASSSSUUUUKKKKEEEE!"
Now to Chapter 12…
Sasuke's P.O.V.
"Uuughh… my head… what happened…why is everything blurry? What's on my face… a breathing mask? I feel like I'm moving… S-sakura? Why is she crying…? How come there are rubber wire things attached to my body, why am I not wearing the tux? What the heck is going on!…"
"*Sniff, Sasuke…. *cry." Said Sakura turning onto Naruto to cry on while the doctors placed Sasuke on the bed, and examining what happened.
About 5 minutes later, one doctor came out of the room to where the Rookie 9 plus Lee were and said, "Sasuke had a heart attack…"
Everyone gasped. But not Sakura, she just started to sob and sob and sob…
"But he will make a full recovery." Said the doctor.
"Wha…? I had a heart attack? Sense when! I need to make some sort of noise to get Sakura's attention!" I thought.
All the rest of the nurses and doctors left my room, while everyone else came into my room.
I tried so hard to remove the mask. Thankfully I did, and also I managed to say, "S-sakura…"
Right there she turned faster than even the Sharingan could see, and said, "SASUKE!" She then laid her head on my body and sobbed.
"S-ssshhh… E-everything's all right now…" I said, slowly placing my hand on her shoulder that's closest to me. I even tried to get up to give her a proper hug, but when halfway there, "NGH!" and I fell back.
"Sasuke! Don't push yourself!" said Sakura in a horribly worried voice.
"Heh… I just, wanted to give you a… proper hug." I said with a smile. She smiled back and hugged me the best she could, so I did the same.
When one of us broke the hug I asked, "What happened anyway?"
Sakura turned her head and looked down slightly, "We don't really know… One second we were enjoying the celebration, then the next… You're on the ground, eyes open… and not breathing…" then she started to cry again.
"You don't know how much Sakura cried when that happened…" complained Naruto. Then Kiba elbowed him in the arm.
"Wow… Why do things like this happen to me? It always puts me, and Sakura in pain…" I thought. "Sakura… we should both get some sleep…"
Sakura nodded, and kissed me on the forehead, and left with the others. As soon as I lost sight of Sakura… I dozed off…
Sasuke's dream…
I opened my eyes. I'm… by the place where I… where I left Sakura when I left the village. And I look, younger… so I know this is a dream. "What does this have in stored for me…"
I looked up and saw the full moon. "Why does this feel… so familiar?"
Then, out of nowhere pain struck my hand. I grasped it with my other hand, but didn't pull it up into sight until it stopped hurting. But when I did… my hand had changed. "Wha-what is this?" My eyes were widened, and my pupil was small, vertical, and shaking a little. This had shock all over it. Then I felt hair crawl up my back, and felt my ears become longer and more pointed. "What the heck is going on!"
Then… I looked at the changed hand, I saw its bones moving in a strange way, increasing in size. Then as soon as pain hit my feet and legs, not only fur grew, but my toes increased in size and became, more like wolf feet, along with the legs… more wolf like. "No! This can't be right! I need t-…. t-ooo-ooo-oaaAAAWWWWHHHH!" I realized that was loud and covered my mouth, not only because of that, also because pain struck my teeth. I felt the fangs grow; even the snout began to develop. Next thing I know, pain strikes my back, as my spine cracks, re-arranges and grows. "I'm growing! No, crap! I don't need this!" As I felt my body grow, I started to walk away, but unknowingly leaving a trail that started with the shoe that ripped off my foot, and made it continue as I tore off my shirt in frustration. As soon as I ran into a tree, all of my body besides my face had changed. And that's when I heard Sakura's voice calling my name. She saw the trail of ripped off clothing and followed it. "Crap! If Sakura sees me like this she'll realize that I am becoming this… this… whatever I'm becoming! And… by the looks of it, a monster…" Then I heard Sakura's voice again.
And that's when pain hit my head, and I screamed in agony. "AAAAAHHHHH!" And as soon as Sakura heard that, she followed the path but ran, until she reached what didn't look like me, but was. As soon as my headband fell off my forehead, I looked up… and ran. But not too far, just to where I can see her, but she can't see me. And I heard her say… "Sasuke…" and she started to cry. "Crap! She knows…" And then, the Third Hokage put his hand on my head and said, "Seal!" What I believed happened was that the Third carried me to a sobbing Sakura. I could still hear but my mind was going blank.
"Sakura… Sasuke's going to be okay, but I need to seal this memory from you, so it doesn't disrupt the balance of emotion in the village." Said the Third as he put his hand on Sakura's head and said, "Seal!"
Of course Anbu was there, one carried me to the hospital as the other carried Sakura home.
That morning in reality…
Sakura is sitting by me but I am still asleep, stuck in the dream 'til awakened. To Sakura, I seem to be sweating and breathing heavily. This worried her a little. But lucky for me, I opened my eyes, and with Sakura facing something else and her hand on the bed, I reached over to it and placed mine on hers.
"Sasuke, your awake! If I woke you I'm sorry heh-heh." Said Sakura.
"No, I woke up alone. Right now I'm just happy you're here…" I said with a smile.
"Well lucky for you, I'm your nurse, so I'm stuck in here with you most of the day." Sakura replied with a smile.
I attempted once again to sit up, this time successful. "Now… how about that hug?" I asked holding my arms out. Sakura moved over and hugged me and I wrapped my arms around her. Then Naruto came through the door.
"Hey guys!" shouted Naruto, realizing they weren't paying attention, he said, "Getting busy with Sakura again Sasuke?"
Then Sasuke picked up a plastic cup with water in it and threw it at Naruto's head, not even looking to where he was aiming. Then he put his arm back around Sakura.
Naruto thought, "Why does it feel like me and Sasuke somewhat swapped places, usually I'm the one always in the hospital, the one being chased after, and the one who's ahead in being romantic…"
A doctor then walked in and said, "Sasuke Uchiha, you will be able to return home tomorrow. We still don't know what caused your heart attack, but we don't think it will happen again. But if you only feel pain in the upper half of your body, get help or come here immediately."
When the doctor came in, Sasuke and Sakura broke the hug. So when the doctor looked up, he wouldn't find them hugging.
"All right…" replied Sasuke, waiting for the doctor to leave.
When the doctor did, Sasuke pulled Sakura over to the other side of his bed and hid them both under the covers, and they started kissing. Naruto didn't feel like disturbing them so he walked out of the room and shut the door.
6 months later, at the Uchiha Residence…
"Sakura! Tsunade sent mail…" called out Sasuke who started to walk over to Sakura who was on the couch devouring a gallon of chocolate ice cream.
"Really?" asked Sakura.
"Yeah, says that Tsunade is suspending mission work for you until our child is able to live without breast milk…" said Sasuke reading off the letter.
Dear Sakura,
This is Lady Tsunade with important news.
Due to your later stages of pregnancy, I am suspending mission work for the sake of you and your child. Please do not take this the wrong way. Until the child is born and no longer requires breast milk, you cannot be assigned missions. When that time comes, you can either stay home with your child until he/she is at the academy, or you can leave him/her in the hands of Sasuke when off mission duty or with Naruto when he is Hokage. I hope you understand and take care of yourself, and good luck to you and Sasuke at parenthood.
"Wow… yeah I don't read mail." Said Sasuke handing Sakura the letter. Who also read it, while finishing off the ice cream.
When she finished with that gallon she asked Sasuke, "Sasuke, can you get me another gallon with some milk?"
"But you already ate 5 gallons of ice cream today…. And who knows how much milk you had." Complained Sasuke facing Sakura with his eye twitching and sweat dropped.
"I know… BUT I WANT MINT!" yelled Sakura, which gave Sasuke a shocked face.
Sasuke went into the kitchen and poured her milk in an even larger glass, and got her the mint ice cream she wanted. Picked up those two items and walked over to Sakura and handed them over.
*Knock, *knock
"I'll get it…" said Sasuke walking over to the door and opening it. "Hey Naruto…"
"Hey Sasuke! How's it going?" asked Naruto, then peering over his shoulder and looking at Sakura. "Wow Sakura! You gotten fat!"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!" yelled Sakura.
"SSSHHHAAAAAAANNNRRROOOOOOOOO!" exclaimed Inner Sakura.
Both Naruto and Sasuke made a loud gulp.
"Way to go dope." Said Sasuke.
"You're the one feeding her ice cream all day!" replied Naruto.
"Like I have a choice…" said Sasuke with his head down. "Anyway why are you here?"
"Oh yeah, um…" said Naruto then peering over to Sakura again. "We better talk outside…"
Sasuke sighed and stepped out with Naruto.
"Yeah… you know that old team of yours…?" asked Naruto.
"Yeah… what about them?" replied Sasuke with an eyebrow raised.
"Well you see…"
After a bit of explaining….
"WWWWWWWHHHHHHHHAAAAAATTTTTT!"
"I just knew you were going to say that…" complained Naruto trying to keep from going deaf.
"Crap! What am I going to tell Sakura! Or Karin about my relationship with Sakura and why she CAN'T take refuge in my home!" exclaimed Sasuke walking back and forth.
"I don't know… I'm sure Suigetsu is going to stay at the pond." Naruto said with a small laugh.
"Don't joke about that…" said Sasuke with his eye twitching.
"But I feel bad for you, Karin is like one of your old fan girls." Naruto pointed out but made a small laugh.
"She tried to rape me… no one says she won't try again, despite me being married AND having a child on the way…" Sasuke said once again had his eye twitching.
Naruto was just dumbstruck.
"Forget I told you that…" said Sasuke.
"Yeah… Oh! And um… Grandma Tsunade said that when I tell you this that you um… go to her office. I know why but she doesn't want me telling you." Said Naruto
Sasuke sighed and said, "Fine, keep Sakura company 'til I get back…" Then he started to walk off.
"You can count on me… hey wait a minute… YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!" complained Naruto. But knowing there is no other way out, he walking inside…
At the Hokage's Office…
*Knock, *knock
"Come in!" called Tsunade.
"You asked for me?" asked Sasuke.
"Yes Sasuke… I have…" said a random voice.
Knowing who it was Sasuke immediately had shock on his face.
"I suppose Naruto told you to come here, but not why…" said Tsunade.
"Yeah… So why am I here?" asked Sasuke.
"To pick up your house guest of course." Replied Tsunade.
Then Sasuke was just dumbstruck.
"Are you sure it's ok, after ALL that has happened 6 months ago?" asked Sasuke.
"Yes, don't worry Sasuke, I doubt something was to happen." Said Tsunade in a reassuring voice.
"Yeah… but if I come back here with Karin holding onto my leg and me looking like… well, you know what, I'm blaming you." Said Sasuke walking out along with Karin following him.
Sasuke and Karin were halfway to Sasuke's home that Karin just had to ask, "So what happened 6 months ago?"
"Things…" replied Sasuke.
"What things?" asked Karin.
"Things that you will soon know, except of one, which I hope no one else needs to know about…" replied Sasuke.
They made it to the house and as soon as Sasuke opened the door Naruto rushed out faster than you can tell why. Then Sasuke and Karin walked in.
"Sakura?" Sasuke called out.
"Oh don't tell me pinky's here!" thought Karin.
"I'm upstairs." Sakura called back.
"Stay down here for a few minutes." Sasuke told Karin as he made his way up the stairs. "Hey Sakura… there's something that we need to talk about."
"Sure, what is it Sasuke?" asked Sakura sitting on the bed.
"Tsunade is allowing my old team to take refuge with who ever they want in the village. And Karin chose me." Explained Sasuke.
"Well does she know your married?" asked Sasuke.
"You know I always have the hand I have the ring on covered with a glove, because of safety reasons. So to answer your question no, she doesn't. I'm going to have to tell her." Explained Sasuke. "Just don't start a fight with her okay…?"
"Heh, I'll try Sasuke…" replied Sakura.
Sasuke and Sakura walked downstairs where they saw Karin waiting on the couch.
"Before you get settled in… there's a few things we need to discuss." Said Sasuke.
"Sure, tell me…" replied Karin.
"Well…First of all…" started Sasuke pulling off his glove revealing the marriage ring. "I'm married. And second off, I have a child on the way."
Karin was dumbstruck with rage. "WWWWWHHHHHHHHAAAAAATTTTT!" exclaimed Inner Karin. "He, he… He's married and has a child on the way! NO! How can that be!"
"Well anyway I need to go meet up with Shikamaru. He offered to pay for lunch and I need to straighten my mind on things. Try not to bring down the house ok?" asked Sasuke.
"Sure. Have fun." Said Sakura with a smile.
Sasuke then went out the door and met up with Shikamaru while Sakura and Karin…
"How can he marry YOU!" exclaimed Karin.
"Because, he loves me and not you, so get over it. There's nothing you can do to change his mind." Replied Sakura cross-legged and glaring at Karin. Karin glared back.
With Sasuke and Shikamaru…
"Anyway, I heard that we're starting to get shipments of new items into the village." Said Shikamaru.
"Yeah, what about them…?" asked Sasuke with a raised eyebrow.
"I heard that Wolfs Bane is in the shipments." Replied Shikamaru.
"Isn't that a plant? What's wrong with a plant?" ask Sasuke.
"I heard that Wolfs Bane is a type of plant that effects werewolves" (I'm not sure I'm guessing, I got that off a show called Teen Wolf, the new one on TBS) Said Shikamaru.
Just that started to put worry on Sasuke's face. "How does it effect…?"
"Well, if what I was told is true, a werewolf exposed to Wolfs Bane, is also exposed to transformation. So unless you won't want to be the furry dude, I recommend not going near any flower shops until shipments of it stop." Said Shikamaru. "Problem is, I don't know what it looks like, and it's only in a few flowers shops here, not all."
"Great. What if someone brings Wolfs Bane up to my face?" asked Sasuke seriously irritated.
"Then I guess if you don't want anyone to see, run into an alley. Because you should start transforming. And another problem… Most of the villagers never even heard of Wolfs Bane, so they might mistake it and hand them to you or something, I don't know." Replied Shikamaru.
"Wow, this is seriously nice. Just what I wanted!" said Sasuke being sarcastic.
"Just don't let it get to you a lot." Replied Shikamaru.
"Sasuke!"
"Huh?" asked Sasuke turning around in his seat to find Sakura and Karin. Shikamaru leaned over to see as well and when he saw Sakura he was dumbstruck and his jaw was hanging, then he fell over.
"Ow…" said Shikamaru.
"What are yall doing here? Well first how did you find me?" asked Sasuke.
"I didn't just get you any ring." Replied Sakura with a smirk. "And we got bored so we decided to come to you."
"And let me guess…. You ate all the ice cream we had in the freezer left." replied Sasuke with an irritated look.
"Well… I guess I did… But anyway…" replied Sakura.
"Me and Shikamaru already ate so I'm free to leave." Said Sasuke getting up. "Thanks again."
"Eh… no problem Sasuke…" replied Shikamaru. Then the waiter with the bill came then he said, "What a drag…."
When Sasuke was closer to Sakura and Karin they both grabbed on of Sasuke's arms and ran out of the building. Then Naruto met up with them.
"Hey Sasuke! And Sakura!" Said Naruto with a large grin. "Hey did you hear about the new stuff coming into Konoha?"
"Yeah… Shikamaru told me that Wolfs Bane is coming in with them." Replied Sasuke.
"Wolfs Bane? You can't be serious! Why would some one send us that?" asked Naruto.
"Because it's not supposed to leave this village." Sasuke with is an irritated look.
"What isn't suppose to leave the village?" asked Karin not knowing what the heck they are talking about.
"Something." Replied Sasuke.
"What something?" asked Karin.
"Something I don't want to talk about…" said Sasuke with his head lowered.
Then a middle-aged man with a small beard walked by and dropped a seed. But not any ordinary seed, when he was about a meter away he made a hand sign. Then the seed started to ding into the earth, then a plant started to grow. It was a blue flower that kind of looked like corn if you think about it.
"What the heck… What is it?" asked Naruto.
"A flower?" replied Sakura.
"I'm not stupid, I know it's a flower. But what kind?" Naruto said, examining it. Then Ino walked by, sense her parents own a flower shop, she knew a lot of different kinds of flowers.
"What you guys looking at?" asked Ino as she walked over to them.
"Examining this flower that was a seed maybe 30 seconds ago. A middle-aged dude walked by and dropped it, then it started to grow now its this." Said Naruto to answer Ino's question.
"Weird. Let me take a look." Said Ino and she bent down and examined it. "I'm guessing that guy who walked by picked up a seed of one of the kinds of flowers being delivered here."
"Well what kind of flower is it?" asked Naruto.
"…Wolfs Bane…" replied Ino.
"What…!" said Sasuke with his eyes widened.
"Yeah… and I know what it does… you better go…" said Ino knowing what's going to happen.
But it was too late. Pain struck Sasuke's head. "Ngh!" He grasped his head as he leaned against a building.
"Wait? What's happening!" asked Karin in shock.
"Wow no one seriously told her?" asked Ino sweat dropped.
"Sasuke didn't want to talk about it with Karin for some reason." Said Sakura.
Sasuke looked at his hand, and saw it was changing. Then he dashed across the path behind some fences, where it was dark. And only Sakura noticed it, she went inside to where Sasuke was.
"Sasuke…?" asked Sakura as she tried to look for him. Sasuke then grasped her leg, "S-sakura…"
Sakura sat down by Sasuke and hugged him, hoping to reverse the change. Sasuke hugged back, but was still hurting. Then, even Ino, Naruto and Karin heard a pop.
"N-no! Not good…" said Sasuke, knowing he was changing and there was basically no hope in stopping it, until he heard a slice. Naruto had grasped the flower and cut it off with a kunai, then he chopped it up into many many bits. Sasuke's transformation started to reverse, thankfully nothing started to rip. Then Sasuke and Sakura walked out into view.
"Well there you guys are!" said Naruto.
"You sliced the plant?" asked Sakura.
"Well yeah… only thing we could do to stop it." Replied Naruto.
"OKAY! WHAT THE HECK ARE YALL TALKING ABOUT!" shouted Karin with an irritated and frustrated look.
"Oh my god, just tell her…" complained Sasuke shielding his eyes, but didn't make it look like he was.
"Fine. Sasuke's a werewolf." Said Ino.
"WWHHHAAA-…" said Karin dumbstruck.
Well I'm done with this chapter… Sorry it's so cheesy and not a lot of action. I just wanted all of you people off the cliffhanger. Anyways! The following people deserve a thanks once more!
