Sasuke launched his weapons, discretely I launched two of my shuriken that flew slightly above his. I waited in silence.
"Won't you ever learn?" Kakashi asked before getting shoved to the side harshly by Sasuke's weapons while mine soared above and cut the rope that held Naruto captive. Before any one could react Naruto had fallen to the ground and Kakashi had gone flying.
"Are you out of your mind, Sasuke?! You went too far!" He yelled holding his head.
I heard Sasuke's surprised noise when Kakashi went up in smoke leaving behind a log. The weapons lodged themselves into the bark. Then fell to the ground.
I heard Sasuke quickly get up to move to another hiding place.
I rolled my eyes and left my spot to find a new one. I jumped up into the canopy and ran along the tree line. I stopped and dropped to my knees seeing Kakashi standing below me with his book out. I knew he already knew I was there, well maybe not if Sakura was actually doing her job.
"Sakura, behind you." I heard him call out. I spun around and slammed my fist forward, he of course dodged. I jumped out of the tree and began to run again. I could hear him following me.
I took a second to look up to see if I could loose him in the trees again. I tripped and went spiraling face first into the ground. "Ow..." I muttered rubbing the dirt off my face. I looked up right at Kakashi and saw him turn to leaves. The leaves then circled around me and up into the sky. I was caught in his genjutsu.
"S-Sakura..." I rolled my eyes and turned to face a bloodied and beaten Sasuke.
"Bite me you ass hole!" I yelled before turning on my heel. "Ne, Kakashi-sensei if your going to put me under a genjutsu make it more believe able. I'm sorry but Sasuke would rather die than actually ask for help. Especially if it was from me. He is an ass-duck, a prick, stick in the mud, little prissy bitch." With that I walked my way right out of the Genjutsu.
I took off running, maybe I will get to see some of Sasuke's fight.
I tripped again, "God damn it." I whispered as I pulled myself to my feet. "Watch where your going idiot."
I started to run again.
Nee-san do you think he'll be a talking head again?
Only one can hope. Only one can hope.
Then I tripped again and heard a roar of pain. "Ow..." I muttered and moved my leg a little bit to make sure it wasn't caught in another root. It hit flesh. I was up in a defense position with in two seconds.
I looked around, up, and then down. I took a good look at Sasuke berried neck deep in the ground. I blinked twice, he blinked up at me with an annoyed look. Then I promptly fell on my ass laughing. "Is this for real? Not another one of Kakashi's tricks?" I asked holding onto my stomach.
"Shut up." He said glaring at me.
"Oh you poor thing." I said patting his head. "Does some one want help out of his tiny little hole?"
He continued to glare at me.
"Oh?" I asked backing away, "I guess he doesn't want any help." I turned to walk off.
"Sakura."
I turned back around. "Yes ass-duck?"
"Never mind you couldn't even get me out of here even if you tried."
He likes to push my buttons. I felt my eye twitch. I marched my way over to him and grabbed a fist full of his hair and yanked him out of the ground.
"God damn it woman!" He yelled grabbing onto his head.
"You're welcome asshole." I turned and ran. To what? I really had no clue I was just running.
"Where are you going?" He asked catching up to me.
"Why are you following me?" I asked and switched directions suddenly, leaving him behind only to run head first into Kakashi as he was tying Naruto up to a post.
I stumbled backwards flinging my hands forward to grab onto something to keep me from falling. I felt fabric in my hands before I fell on my butt. I heard a jingle.
"What the...?" I heard Sasuke and Kakashi exclaim.
I opened my eyes and looked at my hands. I had both the bells in my hands. I blinked and blinked. Did I seriously just get the bells? I moved them closer to my face. They looked real enough to me. "Is this a joke?" I asked looking up to the flabbergasted Jonin. "Is this another one of your stupid illusions?"
"How the hell were you able to get them and I was only able to touch them?" Sasuke demanded.
"What the FUCK! So this isn't a GOD DAMN Jutsu!" I yelled out surprised and I saw the boys flinch slightly. "Oh my God I got the bells!" I cheered then promptly smashed them in my hands.
I heard Kakashi and Sasuke face plant into the ground. "What?" I asked looking over to them, "You do realize that this IS a three man squad. I remember sensei saying we had a mission that we had to do together! Besides I got Naruto out of the tree and got Sasuke out of the ground!"
"Wow." I could only smile at those words, I felt proud that I was able to make Kakashi question a lot of things.
"I guess you all pass." He sighed.
"YES!" Naruto and I cheered at the same time.
"Meet me here again tomorrow same time, we will actually begin training and missions!" With that Kakashi disappeared. Then I saw the memorial stone. My eyes softened and tears gathered in my eyes. I flung a kunai out and cut Naruto loose before slowly making my way to the memorial stone.
I got about a yard away before the tears fell down my face and I dropped to my knees at the base of the stone. I searched for my mothers name. She was on here I knew that much.
I traced Obito's name and Rin's, Minato's and Kushina's, then I slowly traced Mebuki's name. Tears ran down my face and I felt my self shake with silent sobs. I didn't know her very well but she had become my mother in the few moments we had together.
Keimico...
I wiped at my eyes and placed my forehead against the cool surface of the stone, I miss her.
I miss her too...
"Sakura-chan..." I heard Naruto calling to me softly, I had forgotten that he was still here.
I turned my head and looked over at him. He was standing next to Sasuke and they looked at me with concern in their eyes. I knew it was because of the water works that were flowing down my face.
"N-Naruto..." I swallowed, "This stone is engraved with the names of the village heroes, Naruto I want you to promise me you'll never end up on this stone."
"Why?" He asked quietly, I knew he was just paying attention to my tears more than anything.
"Because Naruto, each of these names belong to some one who died for the sake of our village, for us." I looked back at the stone, "They died to create a better tomorrow, I will not let another one of my friends end up on this stone." I said wiping my tears. "They only leave hurt behind." I whispered the last part and placed my forehead against the stone again.
"I promise." Naruto said touching my shoulder gently.
I looked over to Sasuke who seemed a little out of his element, "You too Sasuke. I don't want you on here either."
He looked at me mildly surprised considering this was probably the most sincere moment I've ever had with him.
"I promise." I was actually surprised he answered, but I smiled anyways.
I hope that wasn't too sappy. I know inner didn't show up as much and it's a little unbelievable but eh I don't care!
Should Haku and Zabuza survive?
Ja Ne!
