Blossom of Konoha
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry it took me so long to update! (Chuckles nervously at the angry mob standing in front of her) Umm… I think we should just get to the story now, shouldn't we?
Have you guys guessed who 'the man' is? Maybe… just maybe… IT'S AN OOC! OMG! Or maybe… it's a girl. That would be kinda freaky, wouldn't it? (Shivers) Or Kabuto. Good old Kabuto. I'm trying to figure out who it should be right now!
On with the show!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Not exactly the best bait, but I do suppose it's better than nothing." The mysterious person poked Kiba and sniffed him. "He even smells like a dog. I thought members of the Inuzuka clan always had dogs… I guess he left it behind." He sighed and threw back his hood. " You there, get me something to drink." The guard shivered in fright of the man and left the room. The man's eyes glinted.
" Sasuke will soon be ours…"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Oh no!" Sakura looked around frantically. "Where'd Kiba go? Zakura's been missing since yesterday! I just remembered! I bet they're linked somehow!" Ino looked at Sai. Sai looked at Naruto. Naruto looked at Sasuke. Sasuke looked at Chouji. Chouji looked at Tenten. Tenten looked at Neji. Neji looked at Hinata. Hinata looked at Shino. Shino looked at Lee. Lee looked at Ino. Sakura sighed. Akamaru began to bark.
" What is it, Akamaru?" Tenten leaned down. Akamru sniffed the bench and barked again. "Kiba's in sound." She reported. "I think he's trying to tell us that." She gestured at Akamaru, who was scratching his ears. Sakura sweatdropped.
" OR, he could be telling us he has fleas." Everyone remained silent for a moment. "I guess that it's our only hope, anyway." She gestured towards Hinata, who leaped off to report to Tsunade.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A woman entered the dimly lit room.
" Bravo, Jugo." The large man looked up and grinned slightly. The woman passed the small candle, revealing a glimpse of red hair.
" It's not much. I was tempted to kill him, but I understand we need him for Sasuke. I hope he comes back so I don't have to worry about killing people too much." Jugo looked up. "I wonder how Kimimaro is doing?" The woman rolled her eyes behind her glasses.
" I don't care. I just want to have Sasuke-kun back."
"Or, as Suigetsu would say, 'I bet you want him back to ravage him at night,' eh?" the woman punched him hard on the shoulder.
" You're spending too much time with Suigetsu. You're picking up his habits."
" Relax, Karin." Karin flicked Jugo on his forehead.
" Shush. I think he's waking up." She gracefully walked to the door and shut it. Jugo shrugged and sipped at the beverage the guard brought him.
------------------------------------------------------
Karin sighed. She had heard rumors of competition.
'What was it?' She wondered. 'Ah, yes. Sakura.' She smiled evilly. 'No doubt she'll try to come with Sasuke. It will be a perfect opportunity to murder her then.' Suddenly, there was a loud
BAM!!(Lol!)
Karin looked up in alarm.
"It's a bunch of Konoha shinobi! They're invading the fortress!" A guard yelled to her. Karin immediately turned around and ran to the room where the hostage was.
----------------------------------------------
Akamaru yipped, biting a guards face as Sakura delivered a skull shattering punch to the guard's head. The other did similar stunts, many blows hitting their targets.
" Come on!" Sakura motioned to the others. They followed her. Further into the halls. Kabuto suddenly stepped in front of them.
" I'm afraid I can't let you through." He took out a kunai.
" I'm afraid you don't have a choice." Sasuke smiled bitterly. "Besides, you're greatly outnumbered." Kabuto, being the coward he is, decided not to take any chances and he retreated, kunai still in hand. Sakura wouldn't take this, though.
" Everyone, after him!" The twelve (You know, team guy plus the rookie nine?) poured after the sound medic. They all screeched to a stop at a dead end.
" Damn. We lost him." Naruto panted. Sakura raised an eyebrow.
" More like he lost us."
----------Sorry! I saw that in that CSI show, (or something) And I HAD to show it!---------
Karin burst into the room, just as Kiba groaned.
" Where…Where's Akamaru…?" Jugo laughed cruelly.
" Your big dog is coming to rescue you, you little puppy." He pet Kiba's head, and fingered his triangles. "You know, I do like to eat dog." Kiba, out of fury, bit Jugo's hand. (GO KIBA! WOOT!) Jugo screeched and immediately withdrew his hand. Karin motioned for him to be quiet.
" We don't want those pesky Konoha nin to find us." Jugo scowled, and almost decided to kill Kiba, but understanding it was for Sasuke, he relented.
" I guess it's okay. We have that other girl, anyway." Jugo gestured towards Zakura, who was chained to a wall. "Do you still think it was a good idea to have both of them? Why isn't one enough?" Karin turned around.
" That's because that girl has no chakra. She's not fit to be a ninja. Yet, she seems related to Sakura, and Sakura is rather close to Sasuke, and this…Kiba will be extra bait, so they can't afford to take a chance. Jugo smiled knowingly and nodded. Meanwhile, Kiba gagged at the taste of dog in his mouth.
" You guys are just evil. My friends will come! You'll regret this!" Jugo smiled down and smirked. A loud bam was heard, and the wall opposite to Zakura shuddered, and began to crumble. Jugo smirked.
" We know. That's just what we want." Kiba shivered.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakura punched the wall another time; causing it to crack, then collapse. The rocks came tumbling down, then silence was heard. Sakura gasped.
" Kiba! Zakura!" This was not coming from Sakura, but from Naruto, who leapt ahead of all the others, a kunai in hand, and with the other he threw shuriken. Karin leaped in front of an unconscious Kiba and blocked them with a kunai. She smirked.
" You're early." Sasuke frowned at the sight of her. " And you brought Sasuke-kun with you." She smiled happily. "Ah, dear Sasuke-kun. I'm glad you came back." The Uchiha frowned.
" We're here for our teammate and Sakura's cousin. Give them back." Karin smiled.
" Not a chance." Naruto hesitated, and then put his kunai back.
" What do you want?" Karin shrugged, a grin plastered on her face. Jugo got up, shoving Karin out of the way, and gave Sasuke a huge grin.
" Sasuke! Now I don't have to worry about endless killings anymore!" Karin scowled, and turned around.
" Suigetsu! Get in here! It's Sasuke!" from under a door, a puddle of liquid rushed in, and rose up to form a man. He yawned, showing his sharp teeth. His hands grasped Zabuza's sword. Naruto gaped.
" Why, if it isn't Sasuke." Sasuke glared at all three, saving the coldest look for Karin.
" We don't want to fight." Sasuke calmly stated. "We're willing to negotiate." Karin smiled.
" That's good. Hmm, let's say… You for this girl chained to the wall and you Inuzuka friend here. It's a good deal, two for one." Suigetsu shrugged.
" You just want to try to rape him at night, don't you?" Karin whirled around and made a move to punch him, if he didn't turn into a puddle of liquid at that very moment. She scowled.
" I hate that ability of yours." Suigetsu formed again, smiling.
" Is that so? Such a shame. I love it." Karin tried to punch him again, and he simply repeated his previous actions. "Sheesh, no need to be so violent." Sakura stepped in front of Sasuke protectively.
" We refuse." She glared at Karin. "He's ours." Karin grabbed Sasuke's hand.
" No, he's ours." Sakura grabbed his other hand.
" No, he's Konoha's." Sasuke sighed.
" I hate being the rope in tug-o-war." Suigetsu looked at Sasuke.
" Did you remember to pray for Manda?" Sasuke shrugged.
" That old snake? No need. He's just a rusty reptile." Suigetsu hissed.
" Never ever say that again." His hand hovered, twitching right above the sword of Zabuza. Sasuke shrugged it off, as if it were no big deal.
" Suigetsu! Stop! Remember, Sasuke's ours! Now help me pull!" Suigetsu and Jugo walked over to Karin, and pulled on Sasuke's arm. On the other side Sakura motioned for the others to help. Nine people now outnumbered Snake.
Normally, I'm sure we would all want to watch this, but seeing as they're practically tearing Sasuke apart, I have to make this end quickly.
Sasuke snarled.
" Stop it! All of you! You guys are acting like spoiled children!" Karin immediately dropped his hand, and smiled flirtatiously.
" Of course, Sasuke-kun. You know I love you." Sakura shivered.
" She's as bad as Tiff." Karin glared at Sakura.
" Her? No, she's far worse. Trust me." She shivered at the thought. "We used to be friends, until she decided to quit being a ninja and chase her dream instead." Naruto frowned.
" What's wrong with that?" Karin shook her head.
" Her dream was to be a fan girl." Sakura laughed.
" You're serious?! Tiff needs to be able to think properly!" She and Karin laughed. Suddenly, a moan was heard from the other side of the room that brought everyone back to their senses. Sakura twitched.
" Zakura! Are you okay?" She ran over to her, and tried to break the chains that held her, but she couldn't risk it, as Zakura's skinny hands laid right underneath the chain. Frustrated, she pulled at the lock. Jugo smiled.
" I wouldn't do that if I were you, little girl." Sakura shivered as she turned around to stare at the large man. His eyes looked down at her. Suddenly, he whipped out a knife and brought it down. Sakura, paralyzed with fear, had no idea what to do. But instead of killing her, he pushed her against the wall and chained her there next to her cousin.
" Sakura-chan!" Naruto yelled. He rushed toward Jugo, ready to kill. Jugo laughed and just hit his head, making Naruto skid across the room. Karin laughed cruelly.
" See? Now it's this Inuzuka, that girl, and Sakura. All for Sasuke. It's quite a deal, you know." Sasuke stared at Sakura, his eyes turning red." All right." He began to walk toward Jugo.
" Sasuke! Stop!" Sakura managed to cough out. He didn't hear her. Frustrated, she called out again. "STOP!" At the sound of her voice, everyone froze. Sasuke looked up at her, expectantly. "Don't do it, for your sake and mine."
" What?" Sasuke couldn't believe what he was hearing.
" Please."
" But you… And your cousin! And Kiba! What am I going to do about them? I can't just leave you here! And it's me they want!" Sakura smiled.
" I bet we could find a way out of this. I'm almost sure we could, without having to go through these three." She gestured towards Snake. Karin snorted.
" Yeah, right. I bet she's just saying all that to sound good. Listen, Sasuke. Sound needs a leader. Come with us!"
" No, Sasuke!" Sakura shouted. " This isn't a proper way to get a Otokage! (Thanks, uchihasakurah26!) It's cruel, making you decide!" Karin shook her head.
" It's preparation for what's going to come. He needs to decide." Sasuke gaped at the two.
---Flashback---
" One day, you're going to be a leader. What will you do then?" Sasuke looked up to his brother and smiled.
" I don't know, Aniki. I bet you're a great leader! You can help me make decisions!" Itachi chuckled.
" One day, I'll be gone. You'll need to learn to make decisions on your own."
" Aww," The younger Sasuke pouted. "Like what?" His brother smiled.
" If you had to choose between leaving your friends to try to save them later, or offering to go in their place, which one would you do?" Sasuke thought for a moment.
" I would offer to go in their place!" Itachi laughed.
" You're brave. Quite the hero, aren't you?" Sasuke just laughed.
" That's because heroes are cool!"
---End Flashback---
Sasuke opened his eyes and sighed.
" I'll do it." Sakura scowled. Karin smiled.
" Quite the hero, aren't you?" Suigetsu smirked. Sasuke smiled.
"That's because heroes are cool."
