Chapter 3 ------------
"Ano... I don't know what to say Sasuke-kun..." Sakura said scooting away from Sasuke by just a teensy bit.
"... Hmmm..."
"What?" Sakura and Sasuke asked turning to face Kakashi who had his arms crossed.
"Hmmm..." he said again.
" What?!" they asked again, only this time louder.
"Hmmm..." he said again, patting the kunai pouch in which his "Icha Icha Paradise" book was usually tucked away.
Clearly irratated, Sasuke and Sakura asked again, but Kakashi only came up with the same answer. By then, Sakura was already gathering chakra into her fists and Inner-Sakura had flames visible in her eyes. Sasuke had his Sharingan activated once again and a low growl was escaping his lips.
"WHAT THE HELL IS IT?!!!! DAMN, YOU'RE KILLING US HERE!!!!" they cried, except for Sasuke who didn't bother saying the last sen-
tence. Instead, he was telling Inner-Sasuke to shut up about going on a killing rampage.
"Huh?..." Kakashi looked down at his two fuming ex-pupils' faces. "Oh nothing, nothing..." He sat back down behind Sasuke and Sakura.
"Oh. Okay..." Sakura turned away, suddenly becoming cool and collected. Inner-Sakura, however, was far from cool and collected.
( Zooms into Sakura's mind:)
"WTF?!!!! SHANNARO!!!! NOTHING MY ASS!!!" Man, was she angry.
" Just shut up, will you?!" Sakura thought to Inner-Sakura.
" WHAT?!!! HE GOT US SO EXCITED OVER HIS "Hmmm"-ING AND HE TELLS US IT'S NOTHING!!!"
"You get so angry over the tiniest things..." Sakura told her inner-self, chuckling.
" HEH! WELL, LOOK WHO'S TALKIN'!!! Tell me, who was the one that threw Naruto out of the window last week for knocking over a book? And who was the one that knocked out Sasuke-kun for stepping on your foot? Who's the-"
"Okay, okay, I get it! Now will you just go away?" Sakura asked Inner-Sakura.
"FINE BE THAT WAY!!!" Inner-Sakura stomped of into the darkness, leaving only the emptiness, darkness, silence, and Sakura alone.
( Zooms out of Sakura's mind and back into the real world:)
"Sakura... SAKURAAAAAA!!!" Sasuke and Kakashi called out to her, but to no avail. Sakura still had the same blank stare that she had for the past five minutes. Sasuke was annoyed and, although he wouldn't admit it to himself, worried. He was starting to thing that, worse-case scenario, a jutsu had been placed on Sakura and that it was starting to eat away her will and self-control. Sasuke, who couldn't take any more, started shaking Sakura by the shoulders. It just so happened that while Sasuke was doing this, Sakura had just told Inner-Sakura to go away. Thinking that Inner-Sakura was the one that was doing this, Sakura did what no other girl in her life-time had ever done before...
"GRRRRRRR... I SAID GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHANNARO!!!!!" with this being said, Sasuke let go of Sakura. Unfortunately, that wasn't the end of Sakura's wrath. Sakura upper-cutted Sasuke, sending him at least 15 feet into the air. Sakura then jumped up after him and started performing her new tai-jutsu, which she had happily named Shannaro Rendan. Sakura successfully completed her jutsu and landed safely onto the ground. Sasuke, on the other hand, had only his head sticking out of the ground and to top it all off, he had a bleeding mouth and anime swirly eyes.
As you all know, Sakura wasn't herself when she attacked Sasuke for her will was still in her mind. Therefore, she didn't know that she had injured Sasuke, so she was very confused when her mind surfaced to the real world again.
Thinking that she had successfully killed off Inner-Sakura, Sakura cheered mentally and thought that it was probably time for her to zoom out of her mind. What she saw next, though, made her wish that she hadn't done so. Sasuke was in front of her face, panting and bleeding heavily. He had a few bumps and bruises here and there and a few broken ribs. His left shoulder was dislocated and a small piece of his skull was cracked, but the injuries weren't fatal. Sasuke grabbed Sakura by the shoulders so hard that it made a little cracking sound. Sakura would've winced, but she was way too frightened of Sasuke to even do so.
"Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuraaaaaaaaaaa..." Sasuke muttered in a voice that was even more frightening than Orochimaru in a Speedo. (A/N: HAHAHA!!! XD)
"S-sasuke-kun? What's wr-wrong? What happened?" she asked eying his injuries feeling extremely confused on why she didn't see this happen to Sasuke and why he was so angry with her.
"What happened? Funny how you should ask," Sasuke tightened his grip on Sakura even more. "SINCE YOU WERE THE ONE THAT DID THIS TO ME!!!!!"
"S-sasuke-kun, I d-didn't do that t-to you, though!! I swear I would have never done that to you!!" She glanced at Kakashi. "Oh come on, Kakashi-sensei. Didn't you see what happened to him? Didn't you see that I wasn't the one that did this?!" she asked her old sensei in a pleading voice.
"I'm sorry Sakura, but I'd have to side with Sasuke on this one. I saw it with my own eye that you were the one that did this." Kakashi said. (A/N: Remember, Kakashi wears his hite-ate over his left eye, so that's why I said 'eye' instead of 'eyes'.)
Sakura shook her head. "No! I did this to Inner-Sakura, not to Sasuke-kun!"
Kakashi cocked his head to one side. "Inner-Sakura?"
"Yeah." So, Sakura told her teammate and her old sensei of what led to her attack. When she had finished, Sasuke slowly let her go and Kakashi was nodding his head thoughtfully.
"That explains a lot. I've never heard of someone thinking of doing something, but then unconciously moves without the person knowing, though."
Sakura shrugged her shoulders. "Neither have I, but I guessed it just happened." She turned back to Sasuke and started gathering chakra into her hand. Then, she pressed her palm onto his chest and sent a gentle flow of green chakra throughout his body, quickly healing his injuries. When she was through, she smiled a half-hearted smile and said, "I'm really sorry about that Sasuke."
Sasuke just smiled a small smile and patted her head as a sign of forgiveness. Hey, he never was one for words. Sakura smiled back happily and then looked at Kakashi who was silent for most of the debate.
She noticed something slightly off. Usually at times like these, Kakashi would usually have his "Icha Icha Paradise" book out. Today, there was no sign of the orange thing.
"Hey Kakashi-sensei." Sakura called to her former sensei.
"Yes Sakura? What is it?" He asked with, what appeared to be, a smile.
"Where's your little hentai book?"
Sasuke had noticed it too. "Yeah, come to think of it I haven't seen it today."
With those words, Kakashi's smile turned into a frown, and his cheery eyes turned into a wall-piercing glare. "Naruto..." Kakashi said, and that one name explained the whole thing to Sasuke and Sakura.
Sakura walked over to Kakashi and put a hand on his shoulder. "He got you too, huh?"
"-sigh- Yup. He somehow got into my house and he burned my series of the books, and he broke into the bookstore where I usually buy them and he burned all those to a crisp." Kakashi said with his voice full of sorrow.
The three stood there in silence, with an occassional sigh from Kakashi or Sakura. Sakura thought about her shredded ninja clothes and about how much money she had spent buying them. Sasuke thought about how girly he must've looked standing there in pink and purple. He was also thinking about how to get rid of all the candy that replaced all his tomatoes because he never did have a sweet tooth. Kakashi was thinking about how his books were ashes now. Those were the only things that let him forget about his deceased teammate, Obito, and they were the only things that fed his pervy side.
"THAT'S IT!! I'VE HAD ENOUGH!!! I'M GONNA GO SEE TSUNADE-SHISHOU ABOUT THIS!!!!!" Sakura yelled out of the blue. She made a handsign and disappeared in a poof of smoke.
"You think we should go after her?" Kakashi asked Sasuke.
Sasuke shrugged his shoulders. "Hn." he plainly stated. Like Sakura, he too made a handsign and disappeared as well.
"-sigh- Why can't he just answer like a normal person?" Kakashi asked himself. Then, he disappeared just like Sasuke and Sakura.
