….
Sakura stared down at Sasuke's tear-stained face.
Seeing him cry, was probably the worst heart-ache she had ever felt.
His mask had been broken, by her.
'I finally got through to you, Sasuke..'
Sasuke had fallen asleep a few hours ago.
Sakura stood, and sat next to him.
'We need to get back to camp but…'
She looked back down at Sasuke.
'I don't want to wake him up..'
She yawned as she stood back up.
Sakura scooped Sasuke up, who was surprisingly light.
Inner Sakura chuckled.
She looked at the cavern that looked like a speck from where she stood.
'What a drag…' She thought fondly.
…
Naruto sat outside the flower shop, his head hung.
The towns people walked by with pity in their hearts for the usual smiling fox boy.
One of them stopped and approached him.
Naruto knew who it was by the perfume he loved so much.
She sat next to him and wrapped her arms around him.
"Naruto-kun…"
"Hinata-chan…" He replied sighing, and leaning into her.
She ran her fingers through his hair.
"Its getting quite late, let me walk you home."
Naruto stood.
Hinata's presence had made him numb the pain of losing Sasuke and Sakura, but others weren't as lucky.
"Naruto-kun, I'm positive she misses you, and she will be back." Hinata said assuringly as they reached his apartment door.
Naruto reached out and pulled Hinata to him.
"Stay with me for the night…Please.." Naruto whispered.
Hinata froze in his arms.
"O-Ok.." She said quietly.
Naruto was led inside and to his bedroom, where he was layed down and tucked in.
He reached out and took her hand as she started to leave his side.
He pulled her to the bed with a soft yank, and she yelped quietly.
"N-Naru-"
He stopped her.
"I won't try anything funny, believe it, Hinata-chan! Just lay with me." He whispered to her.
Hinata sighed, her eyes looking into his.
Her head hit his pillow, and he pulled the blanket over her.
She snuggled closer to him, and he pet her long black hair.
"Will you…Be my girlfriend, Hinata?" He asked.
His heart pounded with anticipation, and he was sure the whole village could hear its loud sounds.
"G-Girlfriend?"
"Yes." He said.
Hinata pulled away from him, and looked at him, as if trying to see if it was a prank of some sort.
"Me?" She asked.
Naruto chuckled and rubbed her head.
"Yes, you. The only beautiful girl in the Leaf- No, the whole entire Universe! You're perfect." He said, his cheeks on fire.
Hinata giggled at his cheesy confession.
"Ye-"
Naruto kissed her softly.
Hinata smiled against his lips.
He pulled away and laughed with her.
They both laid back down, exhausted from the laugh they both shared.
'I love you, Hinata-chan..' Naruto thought, as he drifted to sleep.
…..
Sakura was exhausted.
She was only half way there, and it had beaten her to a pulp.
She looked down at Sasuke who looked as innocent as ever.
She fell to her knees, and placed Sasuke on the ground softly.
Sakura closed her eyes, and breathed heavily.
A knife was suddenly at her neck.
"You will surrender, or you will die."
Sakura recognized the voice completely.
"Suigetsu?"
The knife went away as they both laughed.
"You scared the crap outta me!" Sakura said as she punched the white-haired boy fondly.
Suigetsu helped her p as he stuck out his tongue.
"That's because you're a baby!" Sakura again punched him.
"Why are you and Sasuke all the way out here!? You guys just left without me!" He whimpered.
Sakura looked at the still Sasuke.
"He was being a ass, and decided to follow me out here when I wanted time alone."
"All the way out here!?" Suigetsu said with a horrified expression on his face.
"Further." She said with a wink.
Suigetsu suddenly put a finger on his nose
"I'm not waking up Sasuke." He said.
"What's so bad about waking Sasuke up?" Sakura said with a sigh.
"Whatever you say, but wait until I give you the signal."
Sakura watched as Suigetsu walked a distance away and put up a thumb.
'That must be the signal, then.' She turned back to Sasuke's sleeping figure.
She crouched next to Sasuke and poked him in the chest.
"Sasuke-kun! Rise and shine!" Sasuke frowned but turned over.
She rolled her eyes.
She poked him in his exposed back and repeated her words, louder.
Sasuke grabbed her wrist, threw her down and got on top of her, and pressed the cold metal at her chest, ready to go through her skin and heart.
His sharingan was blazing red, and was staring at her dazedly.
"Sasuke-kun!" She yelled as the tip entered her chest.
She wriggled under him, and felt him press it further into her chest.
"Sakura." He finally whispered.
He took it from her chest, and dropped the kunai.
Sakura stared up at him as the chakra rushed to close the wound.
He was breathing heavily, and seemed to re-collect his sanity.
"What the hell was that?!" Sakura said in a loud whisper.
Sasuke grunted and got off of her.
"Nothing." He said coldly.
Suigetsu helped her up, and laughed.
"See? I told you! Waking up Sasuke sucks!"
"Well, next time you have to wake him up!" Sakura said angrily.
Inner Sakura yelled an agreement.
Sasuke crossed his arms.
"So…Are you going back?" He said.
"….."
"Going back? W-Where?" Suigetsu said, shocked.
"Sakura wishes to go back to the Leaf."
She looked down at her feet.
"Blossom?" Suigetsu said, clarifying.
"I-"
"Uchiha Sasuke."
They all turned around and saw a man.
A man wearing a Akatsuki cloak.
…..
AND WE STILL DON'T HAVE OUR ANSWER!
Blah….Next chapter anyone?
Second fight with an Akatsuki member… Any guesses on which one? Konan is obviously out since she isn't a male.
Hehe^.^
Anyways, I will only continue this story if I get two-three reviews.
