__________Last Time______________________________________________________________________________
Tears fell from the emerald eyes. "N-Naruto!" She was sobbing now as she lunged herself at him. Arms locking around his neck.
Blood pooled around his feet as the girl clung tightly to his arm. "I-Is he…d-dead?" She questioned. Fear evident in her shaky voice.
"Y-you…y-you're really…h-here…" She buried her face in the crook of his neck.
Tears slid down her face. Blood trickled down over her left eye from the cut on her forehead. She sobbed, sliding to her knees.
"Sa-Sakura…"
"Sakura…" He wrapped his arms around her trembling shoulders.
"Forgive me…"
"Forgive me…Sakura…"
Then Naruto did the most un-guy like thing he had ever done…
He passed out.
Blood trickled down the door frame to pool on the once-white carpet. An eerie feeling had invaded the large house like an angry ghost. Shards of glass that had previously been a chandelier littered the floor and crunched as two sets of small feet moved hesitantly across the room.
"W-what h-happened?" the small girl whispered.
Wide blue eyes moved fearfully over the too quiet house and the destruction in it. What happened indeed....
"NO! PLEASE STOP!" The eerily familiar voice drifted across the empty room from behind the kitchen door causing both children to gasp and move back. Fear formed a tight knot in the back of the blonde's throat."Be quiet," he whispered. A frightened nod was his only answer.
Naruto grabbed the girl's small arm and pushed her back behind him as the door suddenly swung open.
"Well, well, well. Heh, what've we got 'ere?" Bright eyes glittered menacingly as the man looked the two children over. "Couple of rats..." His face held smeered remnants of what looked like blood dripping down and soaking his shirt. Thin lips twisted in grin as he pulled out the knife, still coated with the deep red liquid.
Naruto swallowed around the lump of terror in his throat, looking around desperately for a way out. Sakura whimpered beside him and grabbed his arm tightly, her small body shaking.
He barely had time to register what was happening before the man moved on them, raising the blade and bringing it down swiftly. Without anymore thought the boy turned and shoved his friend back, away from harm as the knife cut down the length of his back.
"N-NARUTO!" Sakura screamed as tears fell unbidden down her cheeks. "I don't wanna to die!"
Harsh laughter met her cry as a now unconscious Naruto was lifted from the floor. "Oh, no pinky...Why would I kill YOU? I think I'll have some fun... with both of you.... before I decide to kill you..."
~~~~~~~***~~~~~~~
Sakura ran to Naruto's side, eyes wide as she saw the dark stain on the boy's pooled around his feet as the girl clung tightly to his arm.
"I-Is he…d-dead?" She questioned. Fear evident in her shaky voice as she raised glittering green eyes to the black clad stranger.
Tears slid down her face. Blood trickled down over her left eye from the cut on her forehead. "I wanna go home!" She sobbed, sliding to her knees. Naruto wiped at his own eyes and sniffed. He couldn't believe it was over...
*Somewhere inside the house*
The officer frowned and turned to face his partner. "Still no sign of him?"
The woman shook her head." The psycho got away! We don't even know what he looks like, dammit!"
~~~~~~~***~~~~~~~
"Sakura…" He wrapped his arms around her trembling shoulders. The IVs threatening to tangle together. "F-forgive me..." They were in Shields Hospital now.
"Oh, Naruto, you big baka. There's nothing to forgive. We're safe now and the police said that they're gonna find us good homes. Everything will be ok, you'll see! Mr. and Mrs. Haruno want me to come live with them... I think I remember them. But I just can't be for sure..." Sadness deepened the green of her eyes.
Naruto sighed and turned his attention to the trees just outside his window. Mr. and Mrs. Haruno... Yeah, he knew them. Sakura's parents. There was only one problem... Sakura didn't.
'Maybe we were just too young.' The ten year old thought sadly.
Naruto watched, heavy-hearted as the police led the young girl out of the room. She had promised that everything was going to be alright....
The door opened and Naruto watched as the man who was going to be his guardian walked into the room. The blond felt a sense of forboding as the man's glittering eyes narrowed and raked over him. Bile rose in his throat and a small whimper escaped.
"Did you really think I'd let them take you away from me, my Naru-chan?"
Naruto looked up at him with lifeless eyes...."Not really...Orochimaru-sama"
NARUTO'S PAST GUARDIAN IS REVEALED!!!!! (If you didn't see that coming, you need your head examined!) mwahahahaha!
