A/N: Okies, my week has officially been smashed...But it may get worse...I'm sorry guys the next few chapters may be a little slow on the uploading! Telstra had officially slowed down the internet on our network to a snails pace! And to cut it the actual writing may be slow as well seeming I have to look after my little brother and sister...but anyways! So what did we get up to? Ohh yeah! Sakura's been kidnapped by the possessed Obito/Tobi and Gaara is plotting Sasuke's death constantly...and quite frankly I would have killed the little weasel years ago...but i guess the mighty Gaara has some mighty big plans for him...mmmmmm...nice...
Gaara slipped past the guards easilly, most of them were out cold... Now that's a scary thought... Gaara said to himself, almost turning back to check on the little ones again. No, I need to get out of here and help Sakura...
He stopped in his downstairs study, rustling through the numerous debt payments...
He produced a small parchment and a quill and began to write feverishly on the dulled paper...
Temari & Kankurou,
The moon is full and now is the best time to collect Sakura. I leave the children in your capable hands for now. If I do not return by tomorrows eve, please treat my children as your own. There is no need to tell them what has happened nor send a search party, I WILL be back by tomorrow night with Sakura. I need the medical team on standby though in case I should return and need urgent medical assistance...I fear the worst at the current time and may not return to continue being the Kazekage, should I not return Kankurou shall reign untill Damein is old enough...Treat this document as a will, a final testiment and keep it from prying hands.
Regards,
Gaara
Fifth Kazekage
He re-read the parchment out-loud to assure himself thatall was indeed sorted if he were to loose his battle. He looked through the huge bay windows into the now dark sky...The moon loomed omniously pale in the pitch black sky... The time had come... He rolled the parchment and placed it in his uniform before shooting up the stairs to the ignored Uchiha. He threw the door open to find the young Uchiha had been amusing himself the whole time...
"Time to go?", Sasuke said wearily as he yawned. Gaara nodded.
"All has been taken care of. We need to move fast, the moon won't stay full for long...", Gaara answered looking up at the pale moon again, the beams of light bathing him with an etheral glow, enhancing the black rings around his eyes...the marks of the beast within... the beast clawing at his insides to set it free, and let it's rein of terror begin anew... Sasuke smiled childishly.
"Seems you've got a little moonfever my friend...", he said sarcastially. Gaara turned his now blood-red eyes on him, a look of pure evil...
"Since when was I ever your 'friend'", Gaara hissed as he lumbered towards the door. A small smile twitched the sides of Sasuke's mouth as Gaara's tail emerged from his now full gourd... Only a few more shifts an you'll be like me...and i'd hate to see what will happen when that thing get's out...Sasuke thought to himself as he followed the enraged demon out the door, his own powers begging for release all the same...
Sakura felt her hair whip around her as they passed through a wind current. The silvery moon now shone higher in the dark , lapis sky. She smiled evilly, the power surging through her veins now was almost unbearable...
She shifted slightly where she sat, leaning forward, away from the hard spike behind her. The great dragon below murmured something before banking sharply to the left and swooping closer to the sandy ground. She'd lost track of where they were a few miles back when a whole heap of clouds blocked the ground... The great dragon hovered for a few seconds before resting heavilly on the night-dew laced dunes, it's onyx scales and ruby talons gleaming like mirrors in the pale moonlight...
"So why did you kidnap me?", she asked it as she hopped down from it's back, avoiding the sharp spines on the backs of it's elbows. The moonlight bathed her in a slivery glow, making her pink hair glow a fait, ghostly white... The dragon blinked at the sight, suddenly at a loss for words...
"Because Gaara doesn't deserve you... That traitor Uchiha has bitten you my dear. I'm not sure when but he has...", the dragon shivered and shifted, reforming into the naked shape of the boy she'd fought earlier. Sakura tried not to stare but could't help noticing how many deep scars and holes permeated his entire skin. His beautifull snow white skin, damaged by numerous pink slices and lumps. Sakura looked away suddenly when she felt his gaze on her face. He cheeks grew hot suddenly...
"And what has that got to do with it?", Sakura asked, trying to occupy herself by going through his half torn kunai pocket. He smiled evilly and reached into a backpack that had suddenly appeared.
"Because my dear, an normal woman cannot produce the next Uchiha protegy...you have been bitten by not just an Uchiha but an Uchiha who possesses a foreign enegry source...which means...you, my poor little cherry blossom, have accumulated his gift. This means the children you produce will be stronger than your usual Uchiha. Much stronger than Itachi AND Sasuke combined!", he was breathing heavilly now. A touch of madness in his crimson eyes... Sakura suddenly felt more than a little uneasy...Obito pulled out a dry cloak and pants...
"So what exactly are you planning? And how come you decided to go after the kids?", She asked, trembling from the stress of it all...He walked calmly over and placed the backpack on the floor behind her, helping her to sit with a gentle hand...
"Well...the demise of the great Kazekage, the sensless murder of his offspring...and...the re-creation of the UCHIHA CLAN!!!!!!", he roared with laughter...She was shocked. The whole thing...the whole thing had been a set up?How could I have been so stupid?
"Why do you looked so shocked? In order to bring my clan back from the brink of death I have to have a wife...and a strong one at that...And you my dear cherry blossom, are the perfect candidate. But in order to make you willing to bear my children...I have to destroy the things that link you to that horrid place...Your mate...and your kids...", he said, smirking evilly.
"And what? Is that smirk of yours an Uchiha trait?", she snarled at him for no reason.
"If that's what i'm going to act like, then I really don't think I want to be an Uchiha...", she smilled sarcastically at him. He grinned like a crocodile when he heard those words...
"My dear Sakura...it's far too late for that...", he hissed and turned on his heels off towards a dune. She hung her head breifly. Was he really telling the truth about the kids and Gaara?He wouldn't dare! Gaara would defend the kids at any cost...let alone he's probably out searching for me right now... She suddenly felt a rush of energy flit through her body like a thousand volts of electricity... Well, I may as well try...I don't think anyone can stop a hundred-foot Shukaku...but then again... She thought of Gaara as she shifted, the older Uchiha still had his back turned to her arrogantly... Stupid demon wannabe... She snarled as she felt the familiar claws and likes sprout from various places...
The Uchiha turned around at the exact moment he felt the power shudders...He gaped in astonishment that she'd actually try and escape him by using it... In fact he was actually looking forward to a little rough play... He called to Madara urgently and the appiration appeared by his side...
"So your actually trusting me more now...well this time it's gonna be different...", Madara snarled. Obito shrugged and the demonic spirit surged forward...
"I'm not trusting you...i'm just not willing to loose my future bride to that sad excuse of a demon, Gaara. He's powerfull, i'll give him that, but this time I can't let him win...", Obito whispered as Madara possessed him. He felt the demonic powers surge through his body like a tidal wave...The fangs and the claws were like something out of a horror movie...especially the drool... Madara pushed him out of the way and started the last part of the shift, watching the changing beauty with one glowing, red eye...
"Now, now my little cherry blossom...no need to get hasty. You will have much time to fight after i've taken out your little demon mate...", he said, swatting her hunched form with a fully transformed claw. She let out a grunt of pain as the claw connected mid-stomach, sending her half-shifted body flying through the air. In mid-shift she had no controll over her helpless body as it smashed into a sand covered rock. He grunted and lumbered over the dunes towards her.
"So you thought you could get away from me, did you?", Madara hissed as his onxy scaled body slid over the soft white sand. Sakura looked over at him with star-slitted, almond eyes.
"Leave me alone!", she snarled and launched herself at him. If he dodges I can slip past him. The desert is MY element...not his. He ducked and she flew over him, a great rumble hook he ground as he fully-shifted form hit the ground behind him. She smiled, showing four dozen, knife-sharp teeth...
"Now who's top dog? The desert is my element...you are not built for this terrain. My mate will kill you when he finds you...", she hissed. He looked shocked. She was really getting on his nerves...
"Really? Who says I have to keep on the ground?", Madara hissed and launched himself in the air. Sakura bolted at that moment, diving beneith the sandy waves. Madara hissed from above before diving at her dissapearing form. She hissed as he grabbed her tail just as the tip dissapeared in the sea of sand. He yanked and pulled till half of her body was above the ground. Shit, shit, shit! She growled as she struggled for grip in the sand. She reached out, clawing for the cool darkness...
the scent of freedom...
The scent of safety...
Suddenly a familiar aroma hit her senses like an atomic bomb...firing her inner strength and setting her soul on overdrive...the demon within reared it's scaly head, sensing it's pair. Seienna rose within Sakura's mind... What is all the ruckous? Why can I smell my mates fear...
Seienna! Help me! Sakura scareamed. Seinna laughed, a deep rumble echoing around in her head...
So you want me to kill that sorry excuse of a demon? Why couldn't you do it on your own?
Just help me!
What about Gaara and Raike?
Who's Raike?
The other Shukaku...
No, we can't wait for them, I need you now!!
Okay, okay...where are the cubs?
I'll tell you later, just do it before he kills us! She heard the demon snarl then felt the familiar rush of energy fill her veins. She let go of her body, floating effortlessly into the depths of her own body as the demon took over... The last thing she saw before the darkness enveloped her was the massive black shape of the looming dragon...and in the distance...
The roar of another mighty demon...
Her demon...
Her mate...
Her Gaara...
A/N: Hahah, LOL...so he wants her as his own does he? And when did she get bitten by him????? The answer is when he knocked her out and ran away with Roachy...Wacked or what? I know, I know..i've added things in but come on! It explains everything! How Sakura is sooo strong ( maybe Tsunade just trained her...) and how she can sorta sense Sasuke...and the way she thinks too! But what about Gaara? Will there be a massive showdown with all the demons or will it be one on one? OMG it's just too exciting!!!!! Next chapter due sometime tomorrow night or Monday morning...depends how much I have to do tomorrow!
