Chapter 3

Horse Whisperer

Its been a long time since I looked at this story and I am sorry for that… I am busy and I sometimes just forget because I am writing my own stories that really have nothing to do with FF so I am sorry when the updates come late. I will try to remember. Plus school has started… and I have my most hated class every day…. -

Sakura raised a brow as she stared at her adoptive brother, "You seem to have grown… In at least height and age… but not maturity… "She sighed then looked around the large barn. "Now… Which horse shall I ride?" She questioned looking around the stalls her eyes drifting over them all appraising them and nodding her approval at each.

Naruto suddenly jumped into her line of sight, "You can ride my horse and I'll just grab another one!" He offered.

Sakura's eyes narrowed, "No thanks, I would prefer my own thank you very much…" She replied and walked past him. "You must be Sasuke."

Sasuke nodded, "Hn… The horses at the far end are beginning their training so you shouldn't waste your time going down there." He said.

"Not just the beginners some of the wild ones are down there that nobody can get to close to!" Naruto again butted in.

Sakura looked over at him, "Then lets see how fast I can get on their backs… Shall we?" She questioned and walked down the aisle.

The two boys looked at each other then hurried after the insane girl, "Your Crazy! Besides they are all out in the pasture… You wouldn't stand a chance of getting close to them… Even Mikoto-sama can't and she has a special thing with most of the horses." Naruto said.

"Just watch me…"

The two boys again looked at each other worriedly, "At your old stable did you get kicked in the head by a chance? Because the mustang out there nearly killed four different grooms at random times, not counting the one it put in the hospital for a month when my father bought it." Sasuke informed her as he fell into pace with her.

"Like I said just watch me… Get your friends and family to because they are going to see a miracle if this is the case with your mustang…" Sakura again replied her eyes hard with resolve.

Naruto looked at his adoptive sister in concern, "If your sure… Just don't go in until everyone is there… that way we can get him off you when he tries to hurt you." He sighed then ran off to find the others.

Sasuke looked at her, "You're a very stupid person to try and deal with that monster of a horse."

"I've been called that before… and look where I am now." She laughed and walked into a tack room grabbing a halter and slinging it over her shoulder. 'Bring on the monster… Because I have got some already under my belt…' She thought to herself a quiet chuckle coming from her lips.

After a few minutes many had gathered all looking at each other worriedly, "Someone is going to try and tame that monster?" One groom whispered to another.

"Apparently… Just wait this will be the one it actually kills." Was the reply.

"Most likely."

"Sakura-chan…" Naruto whispered as he had listened to the Grooms' conversation. He looked out into the pasture and immediately spotted the black monster that could potentially take his sisters life.

Suddenly there was a growl, "What's going on? What's this about the Mustang going to be tamed?" The voice boomed and every person in the crowd spun around to find themselves facing a furious looking Fugaku Uchiha.

Sasuke being the only one in the crowd not as scared of his father as the rest stepped forward, "Father… The new jockey thinks she can make this horse hers…" He said bowing his head.

Fugaku looked at his youngest son then his wife and eldest who were standing behind him. "And where is she now?" He asked but suddenly stopped as his head snapped to the pasture. "Never mind I found her…"

Everyone spun once more and with their eyes wide and mouths a gape stared as the pink haired girl walked toward the group of wild horses. "That girl is going to die!" someone cried and many people rushed to the fence line the head family along with it.

Sakura stopped a little ways from the wild horses the halter hanging from her hand steadily, " So…. Who's the monster?" She questioned looking over all of them, a smile on her face. "Or were they just exaggerating and making a pathetic one sound strong?"

She heard a snort, as most of the horses stared at the new comer, "I heard you were all annoyingly feral and took it upon myself to get that out of you…"

Again another snort, Sakura never taking her eyes off the horses mostly the large black one she had an idea of being the 'Monster' She chuckled and looked directly at the black one, "You don't look scary at all… in fact… you look rather pathetic…"

The horses stomped their feet, "If your so tough come out and try to beat me…" Sakura challenged. "You may be animals… but you still understand, and most should know a challenge when they see it." She said.

Suddenly the black horse reared back and bolted moving swiftly right toward her, "Ah so I was right you are the monster eh?" She laughed and stood her ground as the large horse thundered toward her.

As it got closer she reached into her pocket, "Your no monster…" She whispered as she moved out of the way, "You're just a lost one. Your brain tells you to fight because you were in a cruel home before here… But these people…" She turned to she was once again facing the large mammal.

The horse turned on a dime stomping its feet and getting ready to charge at her again. "These people are different… You don't want to give us a second chance… I can understand that…"

The horse charged, "But I'm not like that…" Sakura hardly moved to the side the horse streaked past but as he went by she raised her hand and lightly slid it down his side.

The horse stopped short and spun around to face her, his eyes a burning pit of fire. "Eyes are the window to the soul… and you can see it even in animals because even you have feelings." Sakura stared right back not moving from her spot.

The horse reared back once more his hooves slamming down on the ground then slicing through as he once more charged. Sakura smiled but did not move, "Make you choice then…"
