Chapter Twenty-Five!!
Picking the lock of the back door, Naruto was able to silently press through into the house of Orochimaru's number one spy. He was home, as the upstairs lights were on, but there was no noise coming from downstairs as Naruto slipped inside the house. He gestured for Sasuke, who was hiding in the back alley, to come forward. He did, sneaking silently across the garden. Once Sasuke was inside, Naruto closed the door so gentle that a barley audible click was the only thing that was heard.
The room they both sat in was a small dark hall way with two closed doors on either side. Both of the boys checked them, pressing their ears against the doors first to hear if there was anyone inside before opening the doors slightly to peer into the room. Both where dark and empty, one being a living room and the other a kitchen. Sasuke and Naruto reclosed the doors and looked up at the staircase that was directly in front of them.
"He'll be up there," Naruto muttered, pointing up the stairs. Sasuke nodded in agreement. "I'll go first." Again a nod, so Naruto took the first move up the staircase. He had to be careful and take his time as there could be some creaky stairs and if there was that could alert the spy of the intruders. Gently pressing on each step slightly was enough for Naruto to tell whether it would creak or not. The first step wouldn't, but the second would and the third would too. He was on the fifth step, which didn't creak, when Sasuke stared, copying the Naruto's pattern. After about 10 minutes, Naruto reached the top, carefully walking onto the landing and crouching low to the floor. Sasuke quickly reached the landing, crouching next to Naruto.
"Which way?" Sasuke whispered, while Naruto checked the closes door to see if he could hear anything. There was no sound, so he carefully opened it to reveal the bathroom. So there was only on other option, the door down the corridor. Naruto crept down it first, pressing his head against the door to listen in. He could hear a voice talking, but no other voice replying so he presumed the man was on the phone. When Naruto gave Sasuke the signal, the other crept down the corridor to stand next to the blond.
"After three?" Naruto asked in a whispered tone.
"After three," Sasuke agreed, holding up a clenched fist. He slowly raised a finger, followed by another. When he raised the third, both boys jumped up, Naruto slamming the door open and Sasuke pulling out his gun, holding it ready.
The room was a dimly lit room, which consisted of a desk full of document and a chair, where a man sat, slightly startled by the arrival, but not looking surprised. He stood from his chair, dropping his phone and raising his arms to show he had no weapon.
"Looks like I've been found out," he muttered in a amused grin.
"The games up, Kabuto," Sasuke said in a harsh tone, pointing the gun at him.
"I guess this is the end," Kabuto sighed.
"Indeed," Sasuke replied, pulling his finger back on the trigger before a loud BANG was heard and a body feel to the floor, dead.

Orochimaru watched as his most faithful gang member fell to the floor dead. It was regretful that he was gone and Orochimaru even felt sad. Kabuto was most likely the closest thing to a friend he'd ever had.
"Stupid boys," he muttered to himself, watching as the two boys now looked through the papers on Kabuto's desk. "Do you really think I wouldn't put cameras in my people's houses so I know who to punish if one falls?" He was speaking to himself as the room was completely empty. No one came in Orochimaru's room, no one but Kabuto. He'd been the only person to step foot in his bedroom but now, he was gone.
"Sasuke Uchiha," Orochimaru muttered, watching the black haired boy on his T.V screen as he looked through all of Kabuto's draws. "I never thought I'd have to punish you as you are Itachi's brother, but now a punishment is coming your way. And this time I can't go for family as that could affect Itachi." Orochimaru thought for a moment, before an idea hit him. "If I can't go for his family, then I go for the next closet thing. His girlfriend."

When you're waiting for the worst to happen, it normally doesn't come. The worst normally surprises you and leaps out of nowhere, which is why it hurts so much. When Tenten was little, the worst had happened to her. Her mother was killed and not too long after, her father. That was something she'd never expected. Now however, she expected the worst. She expected the boys to return to tell her Sai was died, or Naruto or Sasuke. She expected it to happen, so as she expected it, it didn't. The sight of them walking through the front door, laughing about a joke just made was the greatest sight in the world for her as it was completely unexpected.
"You did it?" she asked Sasuke, as he sat down opposite her in the living room.
"Piece of cake," he muttered smirking as Naruto gave her a thumbs up.
"Good," Tenten sighed, feeling relief wash over her. She jumped up and walked over to Sai, wrapping her arms around his waist in a tight bear hug. "Don't scare me like that again." Sai chuckled, rubbing her hair playfully.
"I'll try not to, but I can't ensure anything." Tenten glared at her brother, before turning to sit back next to her boyfriend. That was probably the best answer she would get from him so she wouldn't press her chances.
"Temari?" Itachi asked and Tenten pointed up, to show she was upstairs. He nodded and wondered over to the stairs before disappearing up them.
Just then, Sasuke's phone rang. "Hello," he said, before a smile spread across his face signifying it was Sakura. "What???....oh, hun listen don't worry.....yeah I'll come over now...where are you?....wait there, I'm coming." He hung up, an expression of sadness spreading over his face.
"What's up?" Naruto asked as everyone in the room focused their attention on Sasuke.
"It's Sakura, she's crying. Her mum and dad have split up." Sasuke stood and crossed the room to grab his coat. "Sai will you drive me to Ino's, that's where she is." Sai nodded and went to grab his own coat. Tenten and Neji shared a look, before she got up to give Sasuke a hug.
"Want me to come?" she asked, knowing how sad Sakura would probably be.
"Na, she said she wants to be with me, but thanks," Sasuke replied hugging Tenten back. "I'll get her to call you in the morning." Tenten nodded and watched as the two boys left. She sat back down sighing slightly.
It's weird how when you're not expecting the worst, it happens. It creeps up on you and springs itself upon you. Well that's what happens and there's nothing you can do about it, but to stand back and watch it happen. And the worst was just about to happen.

Sasuke and Sai arrived at Ino's about half an hour later as Ino lived on the other side of town; the nicer side.
Sasuke speed out of the car, when it had stopped, to the front door. He banged on it harshly, not waiting for an answer. Sai followed him, watching his friend in such a rush. Sai was sure Sakura would be fine, she was strong.
The door opened and Ino stood on the other side, looking slightly confused to see the two boys.
"Where is she?" Sasuke asked, walking in without an invitation.
"She's not here, she went home." Ino replied, waiting for Sai to walk in too before closing the door.
"But she said she'd wait here for me, why'd she go?"
"Home, her mum called and asked her to go home, so she left." Sasuke huffed, slamming his fist against the wall. Sai sighed, watching him.
"Come on, I'll drive you over." he muttered, kissing Ino before walking back over to the door.
"Thanks," Sasuke muttered, following him. They returned to the car, waving to Ino who called out her regards for Sakura, and started to pull away.
"Sorry," Sasuke muttered as they drove, Sai looked at him curiously.
"For what?" he asked
Sasuke sighed, leaning back in his chair. "I'm just worried is all. I hate Sakura getting upset, she can get pretty angry." Sai laughed, clapping Sasuke on the back.
"It's what friends are for."

All the lights were off and a slightly eerie feeling was coming from Sakura's house as she entered, shaking off her coat and hanging it on the rack. All the lights were off and when she tried to switch on the hallway light, nothing happened. The fuse has blown.
"Mum!" Sakura called again, walking down her hall and into the living room. "Are you in?" when there was no answer, Sakura started to feel slightly sick. Where was her mum? Hadn't she just called to ask her to come home?
She moved out of the living room and into her kitchen, when she found her mum. She was lying on the floor, blood everywhere. Sakura screamed, looking at her mother, her face lifeless and emotionless. She dropped to her knees, feeling her pulse. It was there, but very slightly. So she jumped back to her feet and ran to the phone, trying to dial 999.
"I'm sorry, but this phone has been disconnected." Was the reply she got, so she slammed it back down, running back to the mother. What the hell had happened? Had she fallen or slipped and cut herself? Sakura knew she needed to find the wound, but also knew she couldn't move her in case it affected her injury.
"What do I do?" she thought, going back beside her mum and feeling her heart beat. It was there, which was a good sign.
Then, a noise escaped her mum's lips, so small it was just a whisper.
"Mum?" Sakura asked, realising for the first time that tears where rolling down her face.
"Sak-ura" she muttered in a raspy voice, which sounded painful.
"Don't talk," Sakura replied, stroking her mums pale face as her eyes opened slightly.
"r...r...run," her mother whispered.
"Run?" Sakura asked, feeling rather confused now and getting even more panicky. Her mum didn't reply, just nodded. "Why?" Sakura asked, watching as her eyes closed slowly.
"Because," a cold voice answered behind Sakura, which made her whole body freeze over. "She didn't want you to reach the same fate."
Slowly, Sakura turned around to face the man she wished she'd never have to meet. Orochimaru stood behind her, a knife clenched in his hand, which was covered in blood. Sakura couldn't even scream as he walked over to her, she just sat emotionlessly watching him.
"Blame your boyfriend," he muttered, before taking his knife and digging it into the surface of Sakura's stomach. She winched, but didn't move otherwise. She couldn't. "No one messes with me or my property."
