Chapter 9: Thursday...A Dream...Shiro?
The tips of Sakura's toes barley hit the ground as she sprinted down the dusty track. She was at the local college, down in the football arena, running laps around the enormous track.
The intense heat of the harsh summer sun burned away at Sakura's skin, and sweat covered her body as she continued sprinting around a turn, passing and re-lapping various other runners along the way.
"I don't wanna look chubby or anything on my date tomarrow…", Sakura thought to herself, trying to ignore the searing pain in her lungs and thighs, "Lap 7..."
Out in the stands of the arena, some local "tuff guys" were hanging around in the bleachers, bugging, picking on, and cat-calling to anyone who happened to walk past them.
Of course they had notcied Sakura the moment she had stepped out onto the track. She was wearing tight, short, black shorts and a white tang-top that now clung to her sweat covered body as she ran swiftly.
"She's a keeper.", smirked one of the guys…there were four of them.
"She's hella fast man, look at her go! I think this must be her like, 9th lap, and she got here like 15 minutes ago!", another man said in stupid awe.
Sakura had just flown past the gang once more, ignoring them completey, concentrating on her running, and keeping her steps light.
"Hey babie!", shouted the first guy in the group again as loud as he could, cupping his hand around his mouth.
This time Sakura actually had heard him, but continued to ignore him, as she pounced into the air, leaping high into the branch of a near by pine tree, and with a quick hand movement she called, "Air control jutsu!"
And almost immediately, a large gust of wind seemed to lift Sakura even farther into the air, and let her rest gently on a large branch of the high pine tree. Quickly, Sakura yanked a stopwatch from a tiny pocket from her shorts, and stopped it.
She smirked, "Ten laps in 16:32...not bad at all." Then taking a deep breath of air and releif, Sakura stretched out her leg muscles, and took a seat on the branch, overlooking the entire football field and track, her rosey hair flowing gently behind her in a refreshing breeze.
It was 2:33 pm, and Sakura was now bored. She had finshed with her running, and now didn't know what else she could do. Plucking a leaf off of a small twig in from of her, Sakura thought aloud, "I could go to the mall.."--she looked down at her sweat covered body-- "Okay hell no to that…hmm, oh! I'll go home and pick an outfit for tomarrow's date! Duh! Why didn't I think of that before!"
Sakura giggled and jumped from the branch and landed like a cat on the rocky ground. She started towards the exit of the football arena…only to notcie four bulky figures hanging by the the exit doors.
"Peachy..", Sakura mumbled, not looseing her pace as the four figures slowly turned out to be the same goons from the bleachers.
Just as Sakura came nearer to the four, one of them stepped forward, blocking the exit. He was tall, and had short spiky blond hair, he wore black sun glasses and had a toothpick in his mouth; he wasn't necessarily a bad looking guy, face or body wise, but anyone could see that he was just…not a good guy.
"Hey.", he smirked down at Sakura, crossing his arms over his chest.
Sakura smiled back at him awkwardly, and made a motion to go around him, but he stepped in her way.
"The name's Shiro", Shiro told Sakura, as if she had asked.
"Hi..", mumbled Sakura, not looking at his face and tried to get past again. The other three of Shiro's gang snickered when Shiro blocked the exit once more.
"What's your name?", he grinned.
Sakura sighed, "Do you mind? I wanna leave."
"What's your hurry..", Shiro asked deeply, looming over Sakura.
Making a disgusted face, Sakura snapped, "Hey! Back off! I'm leaving so get out of my way!"
Tossing back his head, Shiro let out a hollar of stupid laughter, soon joined in by his goons. Sakura took the moment of his distraction to slip past the four loosers and get out into the campus where she walk her ass back home.
"What a freak.", Sakura whispered under her breath as she could still hear the laughter even as she exited the entire campus and turned left, towards home.
"Eh, might as well get some more exercise in..", Sakura sighed, as she began a steady jog, forgeting about the four losers.
"I wonder what Kakashi has planned for tomarrow..", Sakura thought, turning a corner. Her cheeks turned pink at the thought of Kakashi…or maybe it was because she was getting really hot from the running again?…no, no it was Kakashi.
Already more then halfway home, Sakura was finally starting to get out of breath, "Mabye I'm pushing myself too hard…No! I've gotta stay in shape, this is good for me! I'm almost home anyway!"
Breaking into a sprint, Sakura was on the 'home stretch'. But just then, a beat up old pick-up truck turned the corner onto Sakura's block.
"Hey she's right there!", one of the four men called out from inside the truck.
"Excellent.", smirked Shiro, turning the truck onto the street.
Sakura heard the rumble of a car behind her, but didn't feel the need to turn back and look, so she continued sprinting.
The truck followed...
Finally, Sakura slowed her sprint to a run, then to a jog, then to a walk, and then she stopped, right in front of the front gate to her house. Panting for breath, Sakura stretched out her legs in content of her great excerise that day.
But just as she was to enter the gate to her home's front yard, a truck zoomed in and screeched to a halt on the street behind Sakura.
Jumping slightly from surprise, Sakura turned around to see Shiro exit quickly from the truck, followed by three other men…
