Chapter two: The exile

SAKURA'S POV

I was wondering for hours until i finally got home, but what was even more surprising was that i have managed to catch a gazelle .All the lioness gathered around me to see if i was OK.

My mom was worried sick for me, she was the first one to spot me and i was quite thankful for that.

"what happen Sakura?? You were out for hours" she sad

"i was ambushed, mom" i sad. My mom started to fawn me, b ut after a few seconds she started to sniff me. She suddenly she got a really serious look.

" Sakura, you have been marked with someone's scent" my mom sad, and with that everyone looked at me.

"what does this mean, mom" i asked terrified. The answer was silence.

" it means that Saikou (the domain male lion in Sakura's pride) will exile you" one of the lioness sad. I looked at my mom like if this was a joke, but she was sad and dead serious. At the same moment Saikou came roaring angrily what took me so long , but after he was a few meters away from me he sensed Sasori's scent ,he growled and came near me sniffing every part of my body, i didn't dare to move.

"well, well Sakura what do we have here?" he asked angry

"i... i didn't know ...i..i swear ..it was an incident.. he bumped in to.."

"silence" he yelled, and all the lioness pulled back from me, even my mom pulled away

"you know what this means Sakura" he sad hardly

I lifted my ears backward and cowered from fear, he was my father and he could be nice and gentle but when we were talking about things like that he was cruel and merciless.

" i exile you from this pride, go now or fight with me" he sad preparing for battle

"no please, don't" i begged but it was pointless, he was gonna attack her any second now

So i decided that i should run. I stood up and started to run without turning back .

" i should go to the desert lands, i will find shelter and water and I'll stay there" i thought

I kept on running, and my mom was looking at me until she couldn't see me anymore.

SASORI'S POV

"She sure haven't change pretty much" i thought while walking back to the cave

"Owl she will be back, after she founds out what i did she will come back all right" I chuckled quietly to myself.

"Now let's find something to eat" i thought when i saw a herd

"Perfect" I sad. I prepared my self for attack, and after a few minutes of chasing, i finally succeeded in my hunt. While killing the gazelle i was wondering how did i learn to kill them like that anyway.

"i guess it's what they call instinct" i thought before walking to the cave with my prey.

"I can't wait to do this to Sakura" i grinned evilly. When i returned to the cave and sat down preparing to start my feast, I've nodes that the little gazelle was still alive.

"I've always preferred working on my victim while they were still alive" smiling while the little creature struggled to break free from his claws. I watched the gazelle's pathetic attempt to break free.

"well, sorry little guy but i guess it's killing for a living "I sad laughing with a dark humor nad grabbing the creature more tightly and then starting to eat it while it's still alive.

"Too bad Sakura can't se me right now or remember me for that matter, i'm sure that if she remembers me she would say that I'm the same crazy psycho as before" I thought and then i took a look at the now screaming lil gazelle (as much as a gazelle can scream), licking my now bloody muzzle i asked the creature "does this hurt little guy??? Off course it hurts" i sad in a sick and mocking voice.

NORMAL POV

After a few minutes the noises from the cave stopped. Sakura finally found her self a sort of good place to live in the desert lands. No one ever goes there because it's neglect, not even the hyenas go there. She found territory with a small lake with water and shelter.

"well ad least she found somewhere to live, this place is awful but when the rain season comes there is going to be a lot of herds for the new grass. Now the only thing left for me her was to learn how to be a good hunter" she thought. But what she didn't know that her territory was right next to Sasori's. Sasori's territories are at great length grassy for the herds. When you go to the east side if his territories you'll clime a hill,and right on the other side are the desert lands or Sakura's new home. She had chosen a small amount of land because she won't be able to protect it. One day Sasori was walking around his lands when he decided to check the desert lands, they pretty much reminded him of Suna. When he lied down the edge of the hill and the line between his territories and Sakura's he spotted her chasing a wild pig.

"So that is where she was, right under my nose" he sad quietly looking at her. After a few days of watching her he saw Sakura lieing down at the burning sun near the lake. He decided to go down at her,when he got near her he stopped for a second to see if she had saw or heard him, but she didn't. Sasori continued going over to her and when he reached her he pushed her with his muzzle but she didn't open her eyes. He decided to try something else, Sasori reached her tail and grabbed it with his mouth pulling it.

"Ooow, let go ,let gooooo it hurts" Skura was screaming from the pain

"well if you haven't pulled away like that it wouldn't hurt at all" he smiled at her, and received an angry glare from her.

"how is the life here, ah??" he asked smiling. Sakura looked at his mocking smile and answered "i can live with it" having her head up proudly. "She haven't changed at all" he thought and then asked again looking her like his all high an mighty. This was getting on Sakura's nerves

"So i see you're alone" he started "Did they exiled you or something" he asked chuckling a little and waiting for an answer

"Yes they did thanks to you" she groaned angrily. Sasori smiled an started walking around her and when he past around her he hited her softly on the muzzle with the top of his tail.

"Get out of my territory or..."Sakura was cut off by Sasori "Or what?? You'll run away again" he sad laughing at her. "Don't mock me" she hissed at him

"at least i can run and i'm not a big fat lion, like you" she sad looking him proudly. Sasori glared at her and hissed "careful, don't make me mad little one"

"or what, can't catch me and i'm sure that you're older than me, looking by you're size" Sakura mocked him again. He smiled at her "tc, tc ,tc Sakura , Sakura what am i gonna do with you??" he sad shaking his head, looking down, smiling and having his eyes closed. Sakura glared at him

And asked "what's that suppose to mean??" she asked bending her eyes suspiciously. Sasori smiled at her glare and sad "Sakura, I'm the only one who will except you. I marked you, you have my scent... So why don't you come and live with me, i have plenty of space and food for both of us" he sad waiting for an answer. Sakura was quiet for a few seconds then she answered "thanks, but I'm not jumping in to the lion's mouth. I feel perfectly well here" she sad looking proud with herself. Sasori growled and then left. Sakura was looking at him and then she sad "showoff", Sasori stopped and turned one of his ears to hear her, after this Sakura started to imitate him walk, she braided her feet while walking and making fun of him. Sasori just smiled and went back to his lands. Sakura lied back on the ground near the lake. After a few days have past Sakura was walking around her territory when she climbed on the line between her and Sasori's lands. After she was there Sakura saw him playing whit his food. Sasori was tossing around a dead wild pig, and was having fun until he was interrupted by Sakura's laughter, he turned around to face her ant to see that she was rolling on the ground. "I guess she finds this amusing" he thought, he started to walk over to her. Sakura started to pull back still laughing at him. When Sakura reached the little lake near her she started to roll again."he looked so stupid and childish " she thought. And Sasori decided to play a little game with her. When he shoed up she got a little bit scared because he was entering her lands but this didn't seem to bother him very much. Sasori stopped in front of her and asked

"having fun are we?? I guess you find someone's games funny" he sad and smiled playfully.

"i couldn't hold my self ...you looked so funny" she sad during laughing. He smield and lied down at the ground scorching. Sakura was a little bit scared but then she decided to lie on the other side pf the lake"I'll just play his lil game" she thought ling down at the other side

"So she isn't scared of me anymore, huh ???" he asked quietly and then went back to his little nap.
