"Ne Sakura-chan, how come your so mean to the Uchiha?" Silver asked the following morning the hadn't taken the Akito to the leader yet but they where soon.
This question got Sasuke's attention as he walked by Sakura's room where the girls were. Yeah, why does she act so mean? She threatens the dobe less then me!
"You know you're gonna scare him off." Silver said as she played with Sakura's hair.
"Don't you think I know that?" Sakura said softly. "I'm trying to. He deserves someone more beautiful. And someone stronger. Someone willing to be at his beck and call."
"I don't think he'd want that." Silver said. Shes right, I don't.
"Well, thats what he deserves."
"You meen he deserves a house wife, don't you Sakura?" Silver said.
"Yeah. I heard that he wanted a house wife. I could never do that. I am a shinobi of Konoha and thats not changing. Not for anyone." Sakura said.
"You heard this from a fangirl didn't you?" Silver asked. "You know they are a bunch of liars! I don't even think he likes long hair. Lets go ask him!" Silver said as she dragged Sakura off the bed.
Kuso! Sasuke thought making a mad dash to the living room throwing himself on the coach trying to act natural. They would kick his ass if the knew he was eavesdropping.
"Oi! Uchiha, do you like long hair on girls?" Silver said wasting no time.
"I don't really care. As long as she isn't bald." Sasuke said earning a giggle from Sakura.
"Okie dokie! What about house wives?" Silver said.
"What about them?" Sasuke asked.
"Do you want a house wife?" Silver said.
"If my wife, whoever she may be, wants to be one. If she doesn't then thats fine too. I don't really care." Sasuke said with a shrug of his shoulders.
"Okie dokie! Well, we best be getting Aki-chan here to the leader. Oi! Wakey wakey Aki-chan!!" Silver yelled.
"Aki-chan?" Sakura and Sasuke asked in unison.
"Yeah, last night when I was watch Hellboy he woke up and I called him Aki-chan and he got pissed." Silver said happily.
"What did I tell you about calling me Aki-chan!" demanded Akito once he awoke.
"I don't give a care. You are tied up and you are no where neer capable of killing me. I on the other hand am more than capable of killing you. " Silver said. "We're taking the dragons."
"Nani?" Demanded Sakura. "Then I get to ride Snow or Suki."
"What the hell are you both talking about?" Demanded Sasuke.
"Has Orochimaru ever said something about killing the leader of the Wolfe clan?" Silver asked.
"Yeah, why?" Sasuke said.
"Well, I am the the leader of the Wolfe Clan. The snake bastard wanted me dead. There is a myth that if you kill me you get my dragons and power. But it ain't true. Nanook, Suki, Shadow and Snow barely listen to me why the hell would they listen to anyone else?" Silver said shrugging. "And besides. I don't think anyone could kill me. I'm not boasting either. Besides, if they did they wouldn't get my powers and my clan would kick their ass to Timbucktu."
"Back to who is riding who I ain't riding Shadow or Nanook!!" Sakura said.
"Got it. Uchiha. Your riding Suki. Shadow and Nanook would throw you off the second you got on their backs. Sakura you can ride Snow I am gonna take Demon. " Silver said taking five stones from her pocket. They all were different colors. Blood red, snow white, a warm green and a navy green.
"Come." Silver said walking to the roof. When they got there Silver threw three stones. "Snow. You're taking Sakura. Suki you're taking Uchiha."
"When you were talking about your dragons you said four. Not five you didn't say Demon." Sasuke said raising an eyebrow.
"I'm not one of her dragons. I'm her guardian." Said a guy with black hair in a pony-tail at the nape of his neck.
"What kind of name is Demon?" Sasuke asked.
"It's not my name. Only Silver can call me Demon anyone else to call me Demon would have to have a death wish." Demon said. "I have a lot of names my name I was given at birth is the Demon Within the Clouds. My friends call me Cloud."
"So what'cha gonna let Sasuke call you air head?" Sakura said earning a glare from Demon.
"Air head?" Sasuke asked.
"Just get on the damn dragons." Cloud said.
"What ever you say Air Head." Sakura said dodging a kunai thrown by Cloud.
"Okie! Lets beat it I need to leave the village I have a bounty on my head and I ain't safe unless I am in Suna or Konoha. Suna because Gaara is like a brother to me and Konoha 'cause I know the Hokage and the soon-to-be Hokage. I got connections!" Silver said. "Also, it make a seen flying around on dragons so Uchiha or Demon one of you has to carry Aki-chan or he can walk as long as he don't run away."
"Aki-chan?" Silver said is a bell like voice. "Are you going to run away?"
"N-no!" He said gulping loudly.
"Good. 'Cause if you do I will hunt you down. And when I find you I am going to break your legs... Off." Silver said her voice no longer bell like but hard and her eyes were now a deep crimson unlike earlier when she was more relaxed and her eyes were a warm chocolate brown.
"I think he'll pee himself you threaten him any more. Lay off Silver." Cloud said, rolling his eyes.
"Yeah, yeah." Silver said.
"Silver?? What a hideous name!" Ana said stomping up to them pretending to not notice Akito. Sakura took pride in the fact that she had a bandage over her nose.
"Unless you have a death wish. Do not speak to me in such an informal way. You do not know me. And I will kill you if you call me Silver again. You got that? Or do I have to say it slower so someone of your intellect can comprehend what I am saying." Silver said.
"I don't think you should use such big word Silver-chan. Her head might burst." Sakura said.
"How rude!" Ana yelled. "Hmph anyway; Cloud call me some time."
"How do you know my name?" Demanded Cloud, glaring.
"You're Cloud?" Ana asked.
"What of it?" Cloud said crossing his arms.
"Hmm, you're pretty cute. Well either of you then." She said and as she walked off she swayed her hips trying and failing to be seductive.
"I think she'll fall over if she moves around like that anymore... Or knock something over." Cloud snickerred.
"You whore!" Silver yelled after her. "Thats my boyfriend you're talking to!"
"Oh?" She said turning around. "And how much did you pay him to go out with you?"
"Why I oughta-!" Silver yelled her hand glowing red as she stomped up to Ana.
"Silver." Cloud warned. "Shes not worth your time."
"I guess your right." Silver said turning around.
"Thats what I thought." Ana huffed, thinking she had won.
Bam!
"I know she ain't worth my time but shes pissing me off. Shes lucky I didn't do worst." Silver said as they walked off leaving Ana wailing because her nose was once again broken it had been healing well but now it was going to take longer.
"How did I know you were going to do that?" Cloud said shaking his head.
"Ne, "Sakura said. "You to are a couple?"
"Yeah. And that Ana twit comes around again I am going to break her jaw." Silver said.
"Somehow, I don't doubt that. " Sakura said.
"Where the hell do you think you're going Aki-chan? My threat wasn't hallow. Now you have three seconds to get the hell back here before I come and break your legs off." Silver said.
"H-hai!" Akito said speeding back to where they were.
Knock, knock, knock.
"Come in." Called the voice of a kind looking elderly man.
"We got you a witness or whatever you wanna call him. He'll tell you what you want to know."
"And what makes you think I'll do that?" Akito said in a dark voice as he held a knife to Silvers throat. Quite unfortunately Cloud was protective of Silver.
"I suggest you drop that knife, now unless you wish to die." Cloud said venom dripping from every word and murderous intent rolled off of him in waves. Although he knew Silver could take care of herself the look of horror on Akito's face was rather amusing.
Not heeding Clouds warning he did not drop the knife but pressed is harder into Silver's neck drawing a drop of blood. Sasuke had his sharingan activated, and Sakura's fist was glowing blue both of them ready to charge but Akito was using her as a shield.
"I'd listen if I were you." Silver said no fear in her eyes nor voice.
"Well, you're not me and I would be afraid if I were you." Akito whispered darkly in her ear.
"And why is that Aki-chan?" Silver asked disappearing with a puff of smoke appearing behind Cloud who now had a knife held firmly to Akito's neck. "We got this bo zo. He said that Ana sent him. Didn't you Aki-chan?"
"Don't call me Aki-chan you bitch! He yelled trying and failing to get free from Cloud who in turn stabbed him in the shoulder making him cry out.
"One more time. Did Ana send you?" Cloud said, as the elderly leader looked horrified.
"Die." He spat.
"My turn." Silver said walking up to him putting her fist in front of his face. Her fist caught fire seconds after she put it in front of his face. "I will ask you only once before you die. Did Ana or did she not hire you?"
"T-thats enough! I know Ana did it now I have proof. Take him out of here. I don't care what you do with him!" the leader whose name was Akira as they later learned.
"Okie dokie. We have orders to kill him if someone trys to assasinate us so.. we'll be going now." Silver said as they dragged Akito from the room. Soon coming back both covered in ash.
"You turned him into ash?"
"Yeah... He tried to make a run for it..."
"What ever. Okie we now know who rigged the competition do we still have to compete?" Sakura asked.
"No." Akira said composing himself.
