Chapter six: Run!

By: Goth-Vampire Ninja

Sasuke was running around Konoha in a frantic look for Sakura. He obviously wasn't going to find her soon since he had already run around his house several times with no success. 'Damn!' He mentally cursed. 'If only I knew where he was maybe I could catch her. Wait…maybe instead of me chasing after her…I'll have her chase after me. Then I'll have her in my grasps,' Sasuke thought evilly.

Sasuke was about to run out the door but stopped rather abruptly. 'Oh, right,' he thought. He did some quick hand signs and transformed into Kiba. 'Perfect,' he thought.

-0o0-

'Let me out, dammit!' 'Inner' Sakura yelled at the top of her lungs. Outer Sakura was currently trapped inside her own body's mind, which was being controlled by her Inner self.

'No. Now you know how it feels to be trapped inside your head without any control over your other half,' thought 'Outer' Sakura while searching for Kiba. 'Besides, I'm doing you a favor. You know you wanted to kiss Kiba goodbye before Sasuke so rudely interrupted.'

'Inner' Sakura growled in frustration. 'As soon as Sasuke catches you…or us, or whatever! You know he'll just drag us back,' 'Inner' Sakura thought, finally accepting defeat.

'Oh, but that's if he catches us,' thought 'Outer' Sakura. She finally spotted Kiba and ran towards him. He looked as if he was searching for something but stopped when he saw her running towards him.

"Hey Kiba!" Sakura yelled cheerfully. "What'cha doing?" she asked.

"Nothing in particular. Hey…um, would you like to train with me for a little while?" he asked.

"Sure!" Sakura answered. 'This is perfect! It's almost as if he knew what I was planning,' 'Outer' Sakura thought.

Kiba grabbed her hand and started walking toward the training grounds. "Say, Sakura…shouldn't you be with Sasuke right now?" he asked with a smirk Sakura couldn't see.

"No. Hey, where's Akamaru?" asked Sakura while looking around.

'Aw, crap.' He thought. "Oh…um, he's with my sister. He wasn't feeling well."

"Okay…" Sakura was growing suspicious of 'Kiba.' 'Wait, this isn't Kiba, he never goes anywhere without Akamaru! Urgh, seriously, how stupid can I get?' Sakura slowed down and started walking behind 'Kiba,' when she thought 'Kiba' couldn't see her anymore, she slowly started walking backward.

"Where do you think you're going?" he asked, stopping suddenly. "You think you can just get away that easily?" He turned around and smirked…a smirk that could only belong to one person.

"Okay, so I'll admit I wasn't all that cautious. But still, I managed to notice it was you before you even caught me…so I deserve some credit, don't you think so…

Sasuke-kun?"

"Hn, maybe from now on you'll be more careful, Sakura. But don't worry, I don't blame you for what you did, I already know you're not yourself right now. I know you can fight it, Sakura. But until then, just come along willingly, I don't want to resolve to violence. Besides, I you run, I'll just drag you back."

"And that'll be only if you can catch me. And turn back to your normal appearance already, it feels weir talking to Kiba like this," she said while coping his smirk. Luckily, he obliged and turned back to his normal self. When the smoke cleared, here stood Sasuke with his infamous smirk, which caused his fangs to peek out from the corners of his mouth. "Thank you…now if you excuse me, I've got some business to attend to. See ya!" she said as she started running.

Unfortunately for her, Sasuke was right behind her. "You definitely won't get away that easy."

But, when Sakura looked over her shoulder to look at him, he was gone. She kept running but was stopped when she bumped into something-or rather someone-rather abruptly. She looked up only to find a smirking Sasuke looking at her. Sakura turned around and tried to run in the direction she came from, but a pair of strong arms wrapped around her, pinning her arms to her sides and preventing her to move. But before she even had a chance to move, she found Sasuke had transported them to his now locked room, which meant she couldn't escape.

"Look, Sasuke, I don't want to trash your oh-so-wonderful room, but I will if it means I'll be able to get away. Got it?" she asked, she was well and fired up for a fight.

"Hn," was all he answered.

Sakura knew somehow that that meant something along the lines of 'yeah right' and got pissed. She grew out her fangs with the usual slick sound and leaned down to bite Sasuke. And she would have done it, if only he hadn't grabbed her chin and forced her to look into his now sharingan-activated eyes.

She tried to look away, but she was already too deep in the trance-like state. Sakura felt darkness consuming her, until she finally just decided to let it engulf her. The last thing she recalled after the darkness had consumed her was Sasuke's voice saying: "I'm sorry."
