His Guardian
A/N: I know that it's been so long that I've updated. I'm sorry. Also, Halfway through I start to go into 1st person. Sorry force of habit. Please enjoy!
Ino looked dumbstruck. Sakura stared down at the banished blond. Sakura's eyes narrowed at the memory.
Flashback:
All the girls kneeled in a straight line. All with their heads bowed. Their master paced in front of them. "Sakura-san. Step forward." he instructed the pick haired girl. Sakura stood up and walked forward a step. She felt all the girls eyes on her back. She ignore them and waited for her master to ask her the question. "What is the Uchiha's progress?" he asked.
Sakura straightened her back and gave her answer. "Impressive, master. The eldest of the Uchiha boys, Shisui, is nearing ANBU. The second eldest of the Uchiha boys, Itachi, is a Junin, and finally the youngest is well... hasn't started school yet." she told them. She waited for the next question.
"What of, that man?" he asked. He paused his pacing to study my face. Only I and master know what we are talking about. I narrowed my eyes. "I've seen signs of him being there one time or another. But not enough to prove anything. I do not know what he is looking for but it has something to do with the Uchiha boys. That I am certain of." I told him.
The fact that I wasn't much of a help to this mission really eats away at me. I'm infuriated to tell the truth. But there is one thing that I was certain of...
"There is a traitor among us." I spoke calmly. Master narrowed his eyes. "Who?" he asked eyeing the other girls. I cleared my mind and spoke on instinct. "I know, she knows, I know." I started. "She knew that I would bring it up here. At this moment, when everything is about to break. She has been trying to get the nameless man into the Uchiha household." I growled.
"She holds so much fear, the fact that I have no reason to lie, that master would believe me, that she has run. She is no longer here. Master," I looked him in the eye. "Who is the only girl, not here?" I asked. I already knew who it was but it would be more believable if Master finds out on his own.
His eyes scan over the girls that lay perfectly still but with their heads so he could identify them all. "Ino Yamanaka." he finally spoke. I nodded and before I knew it all the girls were sent out of the village in search of Ino.
To be truthful, many hours went in to trying to find her. When I say many I mean enough to fill a month. We spent a month nonstop looking for her. When we found her she was halfway across the world incognito.
When we brought her back, Master gave her a trial. She pleaded innocent but was struck guilty. She was banished, if ever to be seen anywhere near the Leaf or any of the protectors she was to be killed on sight. She walked away that day and looked back at me. Her ice blue eyes shot burning daggers at me.
I let them hit me. I allowed her to vent anger. She's going to need to if she dreams of getting anywhere in this life. Now that she has no home and the promise of death on her side. There is not much left anyone can do for her but leave her be. That was a night for tears.
End flashback
I stared right into her eyes. The eyes of a murderer. The eyes of my enemy. The eyes of my friend. The eyes of my sister. The eyes of my opposite. Ino Yamanaka and Sakura Haruno. They are opposites no matter what way you look at it. Always was and always will be. Well, not for long. I must kill this murderer, this enemy, this friend, this sister, this opposite. I must kill her.
I felt a stab of sadness wash over me. I let my voice grow icy. "Ino Yamanaka, I Sakura Haruno, read you your rights. You are charged with betrayal of the Leaf, siding with a trader, murder of the innocent, betrayal of your oath, and for breaking bounding law. I hear by pass judgement upon you. Ino Yamanaka, your punishment, is death." I kept a straight face but inside I died.
Ino was my sister. I loved her like a sister and by my hands will she die. Ino glared daggers at me. It hurt. It hurt that she hated me, but that was life. There is nothing I could do now. I must say goodbye. I wanted to end her life quickly even though it is suppose to be as painful as possible.
It's not that I don't think Ino could take it, but I couldn't. Ino opened her mouth to speak. If I hear her words I would cry and back away. She spoke and I slit her neck. Her voice died away. Her ice blue eyes melted and dulled away. Her body went limp beneath me. "Goodbye Ino, my sister." I spoke softly.
I can't believe it! I stood up and scooted away. I killed her. My sister. I killed her. I dropped the kunai I held that took her life. Her words echoed through me to my soul. I curled into a ball and cried like I did the night she left. I did it again the night she died. By my hands. Me.
I sat in that lifeless room with the feeling of death and words of truth float around me. Her word struck me. I'm closing off my heart and turning off my eyes.
"To live free, one must live in secret. To live in secret you must be alone. Thank you, Sakura."
A/N: I'm a little teary eyed. Sorry, what did you think? Yay? Nay? Yes? No? Let me know! Rate and review! Have a good day!
