Chapter 3 The figure and the trance
He took a few steps back. His eyes wide with fear.
Sakura stood for a moment, then collapsed. Kakashi caught her but, just barely. He ran out of the alley and onto the main road. With Sakura in his arms, he ran to his house. He put Sakura on the couch. He then called her parents and told them she would be staying with him for a few days. He went to the room where Sakura had been. She was asleep. He sat in the chair across from her. What the hell happened. He thought. Kakashi recollected the day. He had given Sakura the box, just as he had said to. Why was he doing this. He stood up and walked towards the door. A single picture lay face down on the desk.
" Has it really been three years Sasuke?" Kakashi asked.
" That all depends on how long it will take me to get back sensei." said a voice behind him. Kakashi turned. There stood Sasuke.
" You know, you really shouldn't be here." Sasuke walked around to Sakura. She lay sleeping on the couch. He put a hand on her forehead. Kakashi just stared in silence.
" Did you give it to her?" Sasuke asked not looking up.
" Yes, but something's gone wrong. She keeps going into these kind of..."
" Trances. Yeah I know. I was watching when it happened." He removed his hand and looked at Kakashi. So he was there.
" Do you know who's doing it?"
" I have an idea, but I'm not sure."
" I see." Kakashi sat back down. Sasuke walked around to the chair next to Kakashi and sat down.
" What brings you back here anyway?"
" Itachi's here." Sasuke exclaimed looking back to Sakura.
" Why would he be here."
" He's found an interest in something here." Sasuke looked back at Kakashi.
She was gone. The front door was open.
" Damn." Kakashi threw on a jacket and ran out the door.
