Déjà vu

"Hey did you guys notice anything odd-" Kakashi turned away from the direction Sakura stormed off in and towards the less mature male part of the team.
"Retard-!"
"Loser-!"
He sighed out in defeat. "Nevermind.."
xXxXxXxXx
Kabuto dodged, only able to do that as Sakura savagely assaulted him with punches that seemed to come from every direction.
'I must tell-' His thoughts were almost literally knocked out of his head by a chakra filled punch centered directly onto his face. His mind went blank as his back hit the stump of the tree that he was caught off guard and thrown against earlier when the demon first led him here.
To a shrouded clearing..
Was he that stupid to fallow..?
"Want to watch us Sakura?" Sakura grumbled under her breath and stalked towards Kabuto much like a panther to its prey. The silver haired jounin could only gulp and grab at his kunai pouch.
'Kakashi, you ass!' Sakura continued on in her mind. She stopped to calm down and only then did she notice the rough state she put Kabuto in. 'Oops, ahehe..'
She cleared her throat and disdainfully caught his attention. "Kabuto-kun," she purred out, the predatory gleam in her emerald eyes never fading as she straddled his limp form.
He blinked 'Oh. My. Gawd. She's going to eat me..'
"Are you having fun yet?" She sneered.
"W-What are you-" He stuttered but Sakura only frowned.
"Don't act stupid. I know why you're here." Her hands slithered across his chest to grip at his stiff neck. "And if you ever.." She tightened her grip and gave a sweet smile as he coughed out, "Ever go near my friends or village again.."
'Again?' The jounin wondered as the young form of the girl leaned in close enough so that her smooth, warm lips brushed against his ear. It made him shiver in something even he wondered of.
"..I'll kill you." She watched as his silver eyes widened behind his cracked glasses and finally let go to stand up. "Give that as my warning to Orochi-kun." That was the last thing she said as she walked away from Kabuto's defeated form, knowing full well that she had succeeded in scaring the crap out of the man, and smiled slightly in victory at the resounding poof that echoed through the clearing.
She had gotten rid of (or at least managed to scare off) one bug, but now she knew that she would need to be more careful of the way she acted around her Team if Kabuto still came to the exams.. And be even more careful of her surroundings in the mean time if Kabuto actually sent someone after her.
And what the hell was it that he called her earlier?
Demon-?!

Tsunade sighed from her spot on her desk and looked back down at the ever growing pile of paper.. Tsunade could almost imagine Sakura's smiling face as she laughed about something that happened to her earlier and felt herself giving a small sad smile back.
"BAA-SAMAA!!' The door slammed behind Naruto and Kiba's forms and the blonde woman had to suppress a sigh at the ruined moment.
"What is it, Naruto." She didn't even look up as she continued on her paperwork.
"We found Sakura's blood!" Tsunade dropped her pen.
Akamaru barked from beside Kiba, "Both Akamaru and I were able to smell it out."
"Who else knows of this?" She snapped up, barely hearing the scratching of her chair behind her as she slammed her hands onto her wide desk.
"No one." Naruto answered, "We ran straight to you when we found it and left Kakashi, Shikamaru and Neji there to continue looking for her."
"You found nothing else there?" Tsunade asked almost desperately.
"Aside from her stuff.." Kiba and Naruto exchanged a glance, "There was a scroll…"

- In The Past -
xXxXxXxXx
Sakura instantly wiped the evil smile from her face she had used to deal with Kabuto, and instead substituted it for a blank expression before walking up to her Team.
"Bastard-!"
"Ass-!"
Kakashi turned to her, "Ah, Sakura, have you and Kabuto already finished your spar?" And of course they both completely ignored Sasuke and Naruto in the background.
"Dick-!" It seemed as if they hadn't even begun sparring.
"Well.. Sensei.." She looked down in fake confusion, "The man went crazy or something half way through and he.." She sniffed, "He.. Oh I can't say it!!" And she flew into her sensei's arms.
In truth, she couldn't think of anything else to say.
Kakashi tightened his hold on her, "Don't worry Sakura.. If I ever see him again.." Sakura almost snickered that he had chosen the same threat she had, but was happy that she at least got her sensei to keep her guard up around Orochimaru's little slave.
That's when she noticed Sasuke and Naruto's voices seemed to have halted and she turned to face their intense glares towards Kakashi… Who wasn't letting go..
"Uhh.. Sensei?"
"Don't you worry, Sakura, I'll protect you.." It seemed almost exactly what Naruto would say, but nonetheless touched her at her teams bonds… But he still wasn't letting go..
"Umm.. Could you please.."
"So anyways!" Kakashi happily turned towards the rest of his Team as if nothing had happened. "As I was saying yesterday, the Chuunin exams next week are going to be very difficult.. So I'd understand if you guys wouldn't want to join."
He looked at Naruto's and Sasuke's deadpanned faces and rolled his eyes, "I don't even have to ask you two.. Sakura?" She only gave him the same stare. "Okay, okay, stop staring at me like that!" He sheepishly backed away. "I'll see you all 4 hours earlier than usual to begin training for them."
Naruto and Sasuke went off in the opposite directions, both muttering something about training or ramen, and Sakura's lips twitched into a smile before turning to her own destination.
"Sakura.." Her sensei's voice stopped her mid step and her wavy hair swung around her shoulders as she turned to look back at him. She remembered exactly what he was going to say and a little bit of her was slightly hurt.
"I understand if you don't want to take the exams." Ouch. "Both Naruto and Sasuke have excelled over the rate of a normal ninja, so it's okay to feel slightly left behind." She twitched. She'd been doing it a lot lately.
"And I'm sure they would also understand if you didn't want to take them, but if you didn't then they wouldn't be able to either. Are you sure you want to enter?" Of course he hadn't said it to hurt her, but she almost wanted to reach up and slap him across the face.
"Sensei." He blinked at the hardened look that had swept across her face and into her eyes, making her seem older than even him, and as if she had seen too much for her young age. "Don't waste my time."
It was harsh, but he seemed to understand her. A soft look entered his face and he ruffled her hair with a laugh, "My little Sakura-chan's all grown.." and poofed off.
"Are you sure?"His words rung in her head like a recorder as she stayed standing in the same spot, staring at nothing in particular with the same hardened look. 'Of course I'm sure..' He wouldn't understand that the question he just asked her had a lot more relevance than he had thought.
"Are you sure?"What would happen if she changed the past? The future would turn for the better.. right? Maybe she could stop Orochimaru, she would save so many lives if she could. Naruto wouldn't loose his best friend to him; Sasuke wouldn't get the stupid curse seal that had caused so many problems. It wouldn't matter if she died.
"Are you sure?"Yes, she realized. She had to do this.
xXxXxXxXx
Lovely.
So friggen charming.
Sakura was being stalked.
Even though the person stalking was surprisingly stealthy for his age, Sakura wasn't an idiot and had miserably noticed him the second it started.
Lee. Tights and all.
Well, Lee was one of her closest friends in the future after he had eventually (seemingly) gotten over his crush on her.. But.. She couldn't just grocery shop like any other normal person?! Odd thing was that she didn't remember meeting him before the Chuunin exams..
"Forehead?" The familiar voice sounded close and Sakura's ears perked up before she grabbed onto the blonde's wrist and practically flew into her prestigious flower shop, almost slamming the door behind her in paranoia.
"S-Sakura?" Sakura turned back to her questioning gaze and noticed that Ino was blushing?
"Heehee, you're so cute, Ino." Sakura couldn't help it! She missed her best friend. Teasing was just her way to show it. Ino would giggle back and smack her on the arm or something.. But of course, the past Ino and her still seemed to think they weren't friends (even though she still considered Ino one, even in her own past.).
So the blonde could only stare on as she blushed harder.
"Right well.." Sakura continued, feeling uncomfortable under her steady blue eyes. "Umm, I just had to say.. Good luck at the exams.. See you Ino-chan. Um, I meant pig.." The rosette kunoichi smiled and walked out after glancing around to make sure Lee was gone.
'Maybe he wasn't stalking me.. Yeah, we were just walking in the same direction..'
She shook her head and balanced her grocery bags in her other hand, trying to look her calmest when a twitch was seemingly developing on her face.
"EEHHH, SAKURA-CHANN!!" She swirled back to the Ichiraku stand she just passed, knowing full well who was calling out to her, but didn't expect Sasuke there as well. "We're planning on how to see Kaka-sensei's face!!!"
Sakura almost slapped her own face at Naruto basically screaming out his plans when Kakashi, being like the ghost he was, most likely heard, while Sasuke didn't hesitate at all to slap him on the back of his head. She made her way over to them and sat her bags down beside her on the ground before taking a spot in between them.
"Naruto! Be more careful, Kakashi could have heard! What do you guys have planned?"
This time Sasuke spoke, "We told him to meet us 4 hours ago, he should be here any minute."
"We couldn't find you Sakura-chan, sorry!!"
"Hey it's okay." Sakura cutely smiled at Naruto who blushed in return, who then received a glare from Sasuke.
Naruto quickly turned from Sasuke's glare, "Oh no!! Kakashi's coming and we've got nothing planned!"
"You guys.. Had four hours and you planned nothing.." Both boys twiddled with their fingers and Sakura only giggled, recapturing their attention, "Just watch." She cleared her throat, "Kaka-sensei! Come sit here!"
The man could only blink as he looked up from his book and walked over, looking much like a sloth. "Yo."
The kunoichi pushed everyone else aside and motioned for her steadily becoming suspicious sensei. "..Nice to see you so.. happy?" He squirmed under her beaming smile but sat nonetheless. Naruto and Sasuke, although a little angry at Kakashi for being pushed aside, watched on from the corner of their eyes.
..And watched on with bulging eyes as Sakura sat in his lap.
"So, how was your day Sensei?" Her arms traced down his chest. All of a sudden, she seemed so much.. older?
"I-I-I-I-"
"What's wrong.. Sensei?"
Naruto blushed, 'Hot damn!'
"Nothing.. I was just – Wh-what are you doing Sakura?!" Kakashi seemed to almost fall off the stool he was sitting on, almost looking like he wished he had instead of keeping the cuteness of his student on his lap and letting her continue that massage onto his shoulders.
..Damn that feels good.
"Sorry sensei, you just looked so tense.. I couldn't help myself." She continued kneading his broad shoulders. "Just close your eyes.." It was as if her soft voice belonged to a siren, Kakashi did exactly as she asked and melted towards her touch.
Her Inner gave the evilest laugh she ever heard, 'Oo, Sakura, this is exactly how we got him to show us a couple years ago.. Except this time you don't have a chest..'
'Ahem!'Sasuke stood almost transfixed, holding Naruto back from skinning Kakashi and holding his own breath to make sure Kakashi would stay in whatever spell Sakura put him in.. He had to admit it was painfully working on him elsewhere too.. Cough.
Yeah, he didn't just think that.
Her nimble fingers worked closer to his collar bones, 'All right.. now I'll just slip his mask off..'
Wait a minute.. What time was it? Sakura quickly glanced at her wristwatch and smothered a gasp of surprise. She was late!! Her father would kill her mother if he couldn't beat on her anymore and she made the stupid mistake of being late!
The kunoichi swung off of Kakashi and, ignoring Sasuke's and Naruto's stares asking her why she hadn't slipped his mask off yet, grabbed her groceries with one hand and gave a quick apologetic smile in their direction, "Sorry guys, We'll continue later." And bound off in a light jog.
Kakashi's head thumped as it hit the counter and a light snore emitted from his turned face.
Naruto and Sasuke stared in shock.
When did their teammate get so..
So.. bloody good at whatever she just did?
Hey, they were still alone with Kakashi asleep.. They both exchanged an impish glance, fully convinced they would be able to finish Sakura's job and tell her later what their Sensei's face looked like.
The next day, both Naruto and Sasuke would find themselves with a black eye and minor concussions.
xXxXxXxXx
"But.. mommy.." Sakura looked up at her beautiful mother that she hasn't seen in years and once again suppressed the urge to run in to her warm arms and burst into tears.
"No Sakura." Her mothers' gentle blue eyes didn't even glance at her but stayed to their task of washing the dishes. This was an argument Sakura and her mother had many times in her past, but now that Sakura knew that she was eventually going to go 'missing,' she was trying even harder to convince her before that..
..But her mother was just taking it as all the arguments they had in past.. And she couldn't just tell her she came from the future..
Sakura slowly reached a delicate hand up to her mothers face and quietly traced a long cut along her cheek, "Mom, if you don't do something about it now then you'll most likely end up with just more than a small cut.." Please, just listen for once!
"Angel.." Her mother dried her hands and caught the surprised Sakura in a hug, clutching her daughter to her chest and dropping her head on hers. "I'll be fine. Don't worry, daddy will be back to normal soon. He's just a little stressed form work."
No he won't. "Okay mom." Please don't die again.
So Sakura could just shut her eyes and hug her back, trying to be as happy as she could before going to back to her own time, where she was sure that her mother would never be in.
---
5 days.
She still had five days until the exams, and she still hadn't even found the scroll yet.
Sakura literally plopped her tired body onto her unbelievably cushioned bed and sighed into her pillow. She ignored the hair that spilled around her and curtained her face, and the fact that her slippers and clothes were still on.
'Screw that dumb thing.. It was probably just used to mess with our minds.' Inner crowed as she had been doing since yesterday and the rosette briefly shut her out along with any thoughts of being in the past to clear her mind.
For now, she would turn her attention to the chuunin exams and the scroll or anything that had any clue on bringing her back to her own time would be found later, when she was ready to go back.
If she could go back..
What an odd thought.. Would she really eventually go back to her own time? Or just relive her whole past?
Her door slammed open and Sakura's eyes flashed open, her body twisting as she turned to look at who came in. Her mom tried her hardest to shroud her only daughters room from the murderous sneering of her father and felt her own anger burn up as she saw his hand lean back to strike her mother.
Sakura's body moved on it's own impulse and slid in between their bodies.
Slap.
…
…..
The screaming ceased, and Sakura's mother looked on fearfully covering her mouth. Sakura herself didn't move from her spot, not even moving to brush away the thin trail of blood that she could feel sliding down the side of her face. Only stood glaring with her cynical emerald eyes at the man others called her father, trying to convey every bit of hate she felt towards him.
He finally gave her a smug glance, eyeing the wound that he created and backed off, "That was nothing. Expect a punishment." Seems as if he was still a bit angry about yesterday when she knocked him out.. Ass.
She finally let out a breath after the receding slam of his bedroom door and turned to her mother with a half forced smile.
"Mom are you-" Her mothers soundlessly slipped off her pale face and Sakura stopped, forgetting what she was saying in the first place.
"Okay Sakura-chan, I'll listen to you.. Okay." A soft smile graced her pink lips and Sakura found herself in her mothers hold once again, feeling her tears drip onto the top of her hair. Tears swam in Sakura vision as she realized her mom finally meant that she would move out. "Please, just never scare me like that again."
"…Thank you mom" Sakura leaned into the warm embrace and felt herself giving one back. 'Maybe I will see you in the present..'
xXxXxXxXx
Sakura reveled in the morning light that shone above her in the clear sky and continued dodging the people in the surprisingly busy city center as she ran. Today she had promised to meet Shikamaru – since it was both their days off of training, so he could teach her shoji.
Truthfully, it was a fight of geniuses.
The decorative house finally came into view and Sakura smiled in relief as she approached the steps. Shikamaru's house was across the village from hers and she couldn't poof there because she was helping Naruto in an errand.
She gently knocked on the door and ran a hand through her hair as she waited.. No one answered..
'Actually it looks like no one's home..' Sakura tried peeking through the door hole, but seeing nothing gave up and went up to the window instead. 'Wowww, Shikamaru has a really pretty house!'
"What are you doing?" Caught, she whirled around to the handsome amused face of the Nara genius.
"Well, you see-"
He gave a laugh at her embarrassment and let her through the door before walking in himself, "So, the Sakura Haruno wants to learn shoji from me?" He was so cute she just had to roll her eyes.
"And the world comes to an end." They shared a laugh and he set down some snacks on the table. "You already had it set up?" She raised an eyebrow.
"..You took long.." He avoided her teasing eyes.
---
An hour had already gone by, and all Sakura could do was pop a grape in her mouth as she waited for Shikamaru to move. She had to admit, the concentrative look on his face made him look almost the same as in her time, so damn cute.
"Hey, let's make a bet." Shikamaru turned his head up at her mischievous tone.
"What are you thinking of?"
"If I win.. you'll put your hair down."
His lips twitched but his face remained professional, as if they were talking about assassination, "And.. If I win?"
"Uhmm.. What you choose I guess.. It's only fair."
He gave a cocky smile and folded his arms after moving his piece, "Then when I win, you will give me a massage."
Shikamaru knew that Sakura was one of the smartest people he'd ever meet, but she was still a shoji beginner and she couldn't beat an expert with the typical moves she had been playing. She was good enough to make him play for over an hour, but still a beginner.
She giggled, "Pervert.. Oh, by the way I win."
Startled he snapped his face towards the board. 'She played me!' She had played the easy moves and led him into a.. trap? She knew that he would treat her like a beginner and she used it to her advantage.. How long has it been since he lost at shoji..?
Sakura got up to stretch as Shikamaru continued sputtering about the game and gave the same nymph grin towards him. "The festival after the chuunin exam. I want to see that hair down."
"You-you-!! I.. was going easy on you."
"Just agree." She stuck her small tongue out.
He only sighed out, resuming his relaxed pose. "So-"
"Troublesome? So I've been told." He smiled and couldn't help but laugh out.
A while later, Sakura cheerfully emerged from his house, looking back to wave him goodbye after promising another game.
xXxXxXxXx
The wind flit through her rosette hair before ruffling the pages of the heavy book Sakura had placed onto her lap. She moved her body into a more comfortable position from where she sat on her balcony and continued reading. The book she had borrowed (stolen) from the Hokage's library was on forbidden scrolls and Sakura read in desperate hopes of finding out what kind had sent her here, or at least something similar to it.
Soon later, she sighed out in resignation and threw the book into the huge pile forming by her legs.
'We've been reading for the past two days and all we found was demon summoning…' Inner crowed, and as interesting as that had been (Sakura had memorized every bit of it) it hadn't been what she was looking for… 'Hmm? What's this?'
A nearby book caught her eye the interesting seal of a cross, entangled with a blooded snake glimmered as if the blood was real and every bit fresh. There was no title or author, so Sakura curiously flipped after the first couple empty pages before coming to some eerie writing in the same blood colored ink.
In this farewellThere's no blood
As you fade off in
Imagination
Something similar flashed through Sakura's mind and she instantly remembered the parting words of that stupid piece of paper that sent her here. She flipped over a couple the frail pages, finding even more writing (surprise) in the odd blood color, but this time it seemed as if it had been dried on by different people, with its different coloring and thickness.
..But it was all just a list of names.
Sakura scanned her hardened eyes down the beginning of the long list, where most of the names were crossed out in the same color of red. Crossed out? She assumed it meant deceased..
She flipped a few more pages, 'How odd..' Sakura thought to herself, sliding her slender finger down the hard spine. She gasped out, quickly retracting her hand when she felt the thin paper cut into it and smudge her scarlet blood onto its papers.
"Owiee." Stop whining.
She pouted; ignoring the wind flying through her hair once again and wildly flipped the pages of the odd book. She quickly shot out her hand and held the pages down, finding the ending of the list. Surprised that it had taken until the middle of the book, she scanned down and read the last name.. The last name…
Haruno SakuraHer name?! What was going on..? Clearly freaked, she jumped up and the book landed closed and on its side, the seal that had first interested her now staring up at her and almost mocking her fear.
"Sakura?"
Sakura twirled, still jumpy, and found her self staring down at the handsome face of her Uchiha teammate.. But his chakra seemed a little odd.. "Oh.. Hey Sasuke!" She opted to waiving slightly.
"Want to go for a walk?"
..Was she hearing right?
"Excuse me..?" Wow, first the book and now this.. one thing after another.
The innocently smiling face of Sasuke beamed up at her and it hit her so fast she almost fell off of her balcony. Iruka had tested her team before the chuunin exams! Ohh, she was going to have fun with this..
She remembered that the only way she knew it wasn't Sasuke was because simply.. And sadly, that Sasuke would never actually return her feelings, and as much as it hurt when she was right in it being Iruka, she was also happy that she could catch it.
She appeared quickly before him, not caring that Iruka new now that she could poof, and successfully scaring him with the close proximity.
He nervously attempted to step backwards as Sakura curled her fingers at the nape of his hair, "Sasuke-kuuun," She cooed in a sad voice, "Are you here about that thing we talked about?"
"Th-thing?" Sakura almost laughed (whereas Inner maniacally did), poor Iruka was already starting to sweat, and he had no clue to what she was talking about. Of course.. Neither did she.
She watched as he quickly collected himself, "No, not about that.. I just want to go on a walk.. I need to talk to you about the Chuunin exams."
"Oh, but Sasuke, you don't remember that we talked about them yesterday? You know," She gave the cutest wink she could muster, "before we.." Winkwink.
Iruka was probably the most modest person she'd known, and the shocked beyond shocked look on Sasuke's (his) face almost made her piss herself laughing. 'That's what you get!'
"Oh.. yeah.. Well I needed to ask a couple more questions." Smugly, Sakura finally complied to joining him, but the pale look on her Sensei's face never left, and neither did his habit of nervously tugging at his collar. 'Goddamn it, Kakashi!! You never told me anything was going on between them you sick-'
"But didn't you need to talk about that other thing? You know, that really, really important thing?" She glanced at him.
"Uhm.. But now I would like to talk about the Chuunin –"
"The what?"
"The Chuunin-"
"Hm?"
"The Chuunin-!"
"Oh, the exams? Why didn't you just say so?" Iruka had to breath and Sakura had to bite her lip.
"Yes, well-" He was cut off as Sakura grabbed onto his arm and jumped, giving her a questioning look.
She gave him a questioning look back, "What's wrong, Poopoo? We always do this.." Wink. "And then we.." Winkwink.
He tried to ignore it, slightly revolted with Kakashi's team. "Did you just call me Poopoo?"
"Silly, don't pretend! You told me to call you that because you secretly love it."
He twitched, his mission from Kakashi forgotten, 'What the-' "I do?!"
"Yeah, you told me that you think it's super hott, and that you'd call me squishy.. Although I don't know why.." She trailed off with a thoughtful look, a cute finger propped on her chin, completely ignoring the deadpan look that came over Iruka's face.
"What else did I say?"
She blinked up at him, perfectly mirroring a confused child, "That you love me more than any of your disgusting fan girls, Poopoo," He shuddered, "But that you could never love me like you love Iruka-sensei." Iruka's jaw dropped and to Sakura, he looked as if he shit his pants.
"But I said that I understand, because Naruto and I love him as much as you." She muffled a laugh, "But we agreed that Kakashi loves him the most. Kakashi already sleeps with him anyways, or so he said."
'He said what?!?! $$!!!!!!!''Oh my gosh, I can't believe that he's believing this!'
"So anyways," Iruka looked even more uncomfortable at the new information, but was happy for the change of topic, "Your house or mine today? And how much this time?"
Iruka was almost afraid to ask, "..How much for what?" He really didn't want to ask.
"Ohh, you silly Poopoo, giving me the sexy act as foreplay." Winkwink. "You know, before we.."
'Okay, why the hell am I here again?'
Iruka all but ran in the other direction, sweat now pouring down his face and the terrified expression enhanced. Kakashi was now dead to him.
Sakura finally let out a humored smile and standing on her tiptoes, she waived off to him, "Bye Iruka-Sensei!!!" He stopped, giving her a traumatized look; a twitch in his eye that she was sure would never leave and she laughed loudly, bounding off and he could only watch her leave.
"I think.. That I need to sit down now." He continued in his direction, now walking and mumbling under his breath, "But first I must say good bye to Kakashi…"
'Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill.'
xXxXxXxXx
"..Are you sure?"
Orochimaru frowned, a concentrative look replacing his usually sadistic eyes and he looked back towards Kabuto.. The same Kabuto who would never betray or lie to him..
"Yes. I am sure of it," Kabuto looked to his master sternly, the bruises still decorating his face from his fight with the child like pink-haired demon he had fought bravely earlier. (In which she kicked his ass) "Konohagakure is hiding a second demon. The bruises and broken bones I healed earlier were proof of that."
Orochimaru still seemed slightly unconvinced so Kabuto continued, "And.. She was so.." He stopped to shudder, remembering the message she whispered to him and the way her soft lips pressed delicately against his ears. "She threatened us. She knew everything about how I was a spy and about you..!" That seemed to catch his masters' attention and Orochimaru had to stand, smoothing his long robes with his uninjured hands.
"All right, I believe you." The sadistic look finally found its way to Orochimaru's pale face and he grinned mercilessly, "At the Chuunin exams, I'll check out this Pink Devil while I look after the Uchiha." His tongue curled around his upper lip, "Perfect."
Kabuto had to give a small smile himself, even though it was hidden in the shadows much like the rest of his body. The demon was going to get his revenge for using him as the message.
xXxXxXxXx
The wind lightly ruffled through his short blue hair, feeling it lightly skim the tattoo above his eye as fingers would and Gaara closed his eyes to breath it in for a moment.
The umbrella sheltered his thin form as the rain of blood descended around him, his famous sand sucking it up. Temari and Kankuro looked on as if it happened everyday, finishing from their break and continuing on with their younger brother.
The redhead had to make sure his older siblings weren't looking back at him as he let out a shy smile at the sight of the boisterous village.
His long eyelashes brushed against his smooth, ivory skin as he blinked, and he lightly whispered to himself. "So this is Konoha."
