Chapter Two: Blast From The Past
"Sasuke...?" Sakura was baffled. She looked into the face of her old love. He's...alive? Sakura became teary eyed and Gaara grabbed her wrist. She turned back to Gaara and he shook his head.
"Sakura...I came back for-"
"Shut up!" Gaara growled. Gaara stepped in front of Sakura sheilding her from Sasuke's vision. "No one wants you here. So just leave before I have to make you."
Sasuke glarred at him. He clenched his fists and tried to look past him. Sakura poked her head out from behind Gaara and looked at Sasuke. There was something different about him.
Sasuke's eyes were full of pain, longingness, and jealousy. Sakura pushed past Gaara and took a step toward Sasuke. His face still looked the same way as when he used to look at her. Sakura reached out her arm and Sasuke extended his, but Sakura retreated before they could touch. The leaves that remained on the trees sheilded his face, which worried her quite a bit. "Sasuke..."
"Sakura!" Gaara shouted. Saukra turned to Gaara and Sasuke stepped out toward her and grabbed her wrist. She jumped and looked at Sasuke. He stood over her with his hands holding onto her fragile hand. Sakura starred into Sasuke's eyes and felt happy again, like she did before Gaara had 'killed' him.
"Back off." Gaara twisted Sasuke's wrist and he imediately released Sakura. Sakura stumbled back and stood against the wall Gaara had been leaning on earlier. Gaara kicked Sasuke to the growned and smirked as he did four years ago. Sakura gasped and her eyes widened. The day four years ago when Saskue and Naruto had 'died' flashed back into her mind.
That horroring memories replayed itself over and over again in her head. She began to cried as she invisioned that moment repeating itself. Sakura shook her head. "No!" Sakura screamed.
Sasuke kicked Gaara back and jumped back as Gaara's sand darted toward him. Gaara stood still and awaited for Sasuke to slip up. Sasuke pulled out a shuriken and threw it at Gaara only to have his sand block and then dart toward Sasuke. The sand ripped Sasuke's right arm open and Sasuke fell to the ground.
"No! this isn't happening!" Sakura screamed.
She turned and ran back the way she had came. Leaves flew up from the ground as she ran down the street. She turned left and slid on the dirt beneath her feet. She continued running, not knowing where she was going. Ter hair flew in the air as she ran and tears fell from her face and into the air.
Sakura finally stopped. She stood in front of a spa. Why had her feet carried her here? Here of all places! She shrugged it off and sighed. Sakura wiped the tears from her eyes and stalked on.
Someone jumped off of a building above her and landed in front of her. She jumped back and fell flat on her butt. She looked at the person in front of her and began to cry again. "Sakura-chan?" a familar voice questioned.
"Naruto!" Sakura screamed joyfully. She jumped at him and hugged him. Naruto starred blankly at her. "Naruto, I'm so gald you're here!"
"Sakura-chan?" Naruto patted her gwntly on the back. "What's going on?"
Sakura pushed herself away from Naruto and looked up at him. He seemed to have changed a lot. His hair was lighter and much longer. He had a scar acrossed his eye, probably given to him by Gaara. And he seemed more mature...if that was possible?
"Sasuke's back," Sakura replied quietly. "And you're back...I thought you both were dead."
"Dead?" Naruto repeated. He closed his eyes and thought for a moment. "Nope! I remember seeing you and Sasuke, he was lying on the ground...bleeding and Gaara attacked me and I was knocked unconsious. When I woke up you and him, both, were gone."
"He...was gone?" Sakura repeated in confusion. Naruto nodded. "It's good to see you're okay, Naruto."
"Yeah. It's good to see you're doing fine too, Sakura." Naruto looked around. "So were is that so-called Uchiha?"
...Same old Naruto... "I last saw him over at the academy fighting with Gaara."
"Gaara's here?" Naruto looked around again. He folded his arms. "I can take him if he gets in the way."
That was it. The old Naruto. Cocky. Sakura rolled her eyes. "Yes and he and Sasuke were fighting."
"Then lets go." Naruto grabbed her wrist and began to run toward the academy. Naruto dragged Sakura along, she tried to pulled herself away but he held onto her wrist with great force.
"Naruto, stop!" Sakura shouted. He couldn't hear her or at least she thought.Naruto was just ignoring her, he waited to see the look on Sasuke's face when he saw Naruto holding onto Sakura's hand. ...He's going to flip when he sees this! Naruto turned the corner and stopped. He looked around in confusion. "Where are they?"
"What?" Sakura pushed past him and looked down the dusty road. "Were here just a minute ago."
Naruto sighed and folded his arms. Sakura stood there in a haze of confusion. Where did they go? And Gaara? Sakura stomped her foot and walked away, leaving Naruto in his own confusion.
PoD- Well, what did you think? Is it good? Does it go along with the story so far?
