Is it possible to accidentally kill someone?

Oh god, I considered not doing this, but this chapter will be bad. BAD. You've been warned. Their will be a Sakura point of view. SORRY it's short yes, but it's good enough to cut off and leave you with a cliffhanger :D


(Naruto Point of View)

"Damn it, we've been throwing open doors to empty rooms, and there's nothing!" I growled, slamming another one shut.

"The place is probably miles long. Sasuke could be farther in." Sai replied, opening a door with nothing. "He could also know we're here, and keep moving."

"Because he doesn't want us to find him." I muttered.

"Why did he come to Orochimaru in the first place?" Sai offered.

I took a deep breath and said, "Orochimaru promised him power. More than anything in the world, he wants to take revenge on his older brother. He slaughtered their family and clan. But his brother's so powerful, Sasuke couldn't even begin to fight him. He left for power, in exchange for his body, in the future." The thought of Orochimaru using Sasuke's body pissed me off to no end.

"He must be bent on that revenge, then." Sai shook his head, failing with yet another door.

"Yeah, he's-What the hell?!" We both tensed to keep our footing. The ground shook and the sound of an explosion rang through our ears.

"Something blew up." Sai muttered. "That way." He pointed to our right. The sound wasn't too loud, so it must have been a ways away.

"It could be him." We both nodded and ran in that direction.

(Sakura)

We were so close when it happened, I could see the smoke through one of the open hallways. It was longer than most of the ones we had been through so far. With the smoke, and the sudden light shining in, it must have been an explosion, and it must have made a skylight.

"That could be him." Yamato called over the noise.

"I know, hurry!" We dashed down the hallway towards the smoky light.

I didn't even begin to consider that anything bad would happen if we were to find Sasuke. I didn't consider my actions, either, when we got to the end of the hallway.

This is what I saw, although it only happened in perhaps two seconds. I didn't think.

I only took in the landscape for a millisecond. It was a large bowl shaped space from the explosion.

I saw Naruto, crouched slightly to the right of me.

To the left of me, and across from him, I saw who I instantly assumed was Sasuke. He had a long metal blade aimed vertically at Naruto, aiming to go straight through him. I didn't think about Sasuke.

I just moved.

With a shout, I threw myself in front of Naruto, back facing him.

(Sasuke.)

I didn't even notice her when she came. I pulled back my sword to thrust it forward, and just as I was doing so, a rush of pink and red was thrown in front of the Naruto impersonating Itachi.

There was no time to stop and think about who or why, because the tip of the sword was only about a centimeter away from the person when they got there. Before I stabbed, I heard a male voice shout.

I felt the pressure from the impact for a second, and then I felt the end get lighter. I had had enough force to go all the way through their body. I missed Itachi, but I could deal with that later.

Right now I had to realize who I had just stabbed.

I focused on her for a second, and my brain started screaming. I could tell my blank, emotionless face I had recomposed was now probably looking horrified. Even with the changes, I knew who I had just impaled, and why she had gotten in front of "Naruto."

Sakura.

I dared myself to look down, and saw I had hit her in the center of the stomach. It didn't take a genius to know my sword was bloody inside of her and on the outside past her back. Blood had spurted, and I knew my hands were coated in it. It also dripped down from the wound. My grip on the sword never left.

I dared myself next to look back up, and her expression was blank. Her eyes were wide and her mouth was slightly open. She turned her head just barely to look behind her, and the imposter she had protected dispelled it's transformation. She saw she had rescued Itachi. She turned he head back with out a sound. Itachi disappeared.

I had done the opposite of what I wanted to do. I hurt Sakura, the very person I wanted alive to make Naruto happy. I had a feeling she would die.

"Please take it out of me." She whispered, voice half hysterical.

I swallowed, nodded, and pulled my blade back towards me. A new gush of blood fell from the front and back of her.

What have I done?

"Sa-ku-ra."

I heard the faint whisper of a voice I knew all too well, and I dreaded what would happen next.
