Me: Yeah...I'll leave you two alone then, kay. thnxbaiii!
Hugs and Kisses to those that review.
Sakura let her tired body slump down on the bed.
Her body was still fit but her mind was just exhausted and wanted to escape this nightmare that was her life for just a short time.
Sleep would help her escape.
Or so she thought.
The pinkette again was awoken by her screams.
She had the same nightmare again. Everyone was just…dying. And she couldn't do a thing to help.
She felt useless again.
Weak. She was too weak.
With the sudden urge to vomit-again- she ran into her bathroom and emptied her stomach.
This was too much for.
It felt like black poison was spreading in her body.
And slowly, painfully devouring her heart and tainting it midnight black.
"Listen up everyone."
Even though Kakashi's voice wasn't filled with authority like it normally should have been to get a reaction like this everyone turned quiet and gave him all of their attention.
They understand the direness of the situation.
"It's a three days travel towards the hideout-", a low growl made its way out of Sasuke's throat, "so we'll head out immediately. I hope you got a good night's sleep because you'll need the energy today."
The grey-haired man wondered slightly if he was the only one that noticed the slightly pinkish tone that Ino and Sai's face held.
"Let's go already", Sasuke grumbled.
He wasn't in the mood. For anything.
All he could think of was her.
She needed her.
That was when he decided something.
If Akatsuki or anybody for some reason took her life, he would take his, too.
But until then he would do anything to get her back.
She meant the world to him. Probably even more.
"Sakura."
She turned around and saw Sasori smiling sweetly at her.
The medic gave her best to return the smile and it actually worked pretty well.
Sakura was truly thankful. She didn't know what Kabuto gave her but…it numbed the pain.
"What is it, Saso-chan?"
"We'll head out to a hideout on Nagi Island in four days."
"Alright, thanks", she smiled as she waved him good bye and turned around the corner to enter her room.
Inside she made a bee-line towards her wardrobe, picked out four outfits and stuffed the rest into two bags which she put into a rucksack.
One bag was for her clothes in general and the other one for the things she needed while travelling.
After she was finished she let herself drop onto her bed.
And waited for the nightmares to come.
The last thoughts before she drifted off towards sleep? The only thing she thought about nowadays.
Sasuke…
Let's say Sasuke's desire to rest was as big as the desire to sleep with Shino.
Which meant non existent.
There were only six more hours to go. Why had those dumbasses decide to eat now? They could eat after they found Sakura.
Or rather after they found the hideout.
The raven's main goal at the moment was to try not to let his hope rise anymore than it already had.
It would kill him otherwise.
After he threw his emptied bottle of water to the ground he stomped…well the graceful Uchiha-way of stomping…towards the forest.
He felt eight pairs of eyes following him.
A long sigh escaped Kakashi as he stared at the shinobis before him.
They were eager to do something, anything to get their mind of the fact that they were wasting time to replenish energy.
He would just give them a task and they'd be all happy-go-lucky again.
"Alright Sai, Ino, Neji, Tenten, Shizune and I will pair up and scout the area. Hinata, Naruto, I want you two to watch the camp."
He received nods and…Naruto's way of nodding in agreement.
"WILL BE DONE, SENSEI! NOTHING WILL HAPPEN TO THIS CAMP WHILE YOU ARE AWAY!"
The group winced.
Once they were out of sight Neji gently took hold of Tenten's hand.
If the girl had learned one thing during their relationship, it was this.
Neji cared he truly did, but he was too shy to show.
Years of repression of showing emotions and feeling them had brought this.
Only when they were alone, he allowed himself to be like this.
And it had taken the brunette quite a toll getting the stoic Hyuuga to be comfortable around her.
But she was happy, now.
Who cared if the clan approved or not.
Tenten knew that she was more important to him.
Neji prove that to her which she was grateful for.
"Let's settle down here. I have the Byakugan, so we can just…sit here."
A small smirk was visible on his face and Tenten knew that she wouldn't do much…sitting.
She smiled as she felt her boyfriend's lips on hers.
Ino giggled as Sai had his arm loosely around her waist and guided her through the forest.
She didn't know what this thing they had was or if he liked her or if he was just in it for…yeah, well the sex. We all know assholes like this exist.
She herself didn't know.
Sure she liked him and all, but…
He just looked too much like Sasuke.
Truth to be told she was a bit afraid.
Afraid that she just used him as some random rebound to help her get over Sasuke, because she knew herself.
She was Ino and (sadly) Ino just did things like this.
"Hey, beautiful."
"Yes?", how she loved it when he called her that.
She couldn't deny him then. And he knew that.
"We don't have to watch much. I'll just send out some animals to scout the area", the blonde heard the unspoken offer and gladly accepted it.
But wait…was this guilt that she felt as his hands roamed her body?
She knew that he was watching her.
How he purposefully kept his silver hair over his right eye so it would be difficult to catch his glances.
It creeped her out a bit, really.
Sure, she has been in love with him for like forever, but they always had just…flings. Stupid one-night stands where she would wake and he would already be gone.
Where he greeted her the next day with another woman in his arms.
But she just could never deny him herself.
No matter how much it hurt.
She would bring him home when he was drunk and she would let him stay over when he wanted…she would help him with his problem with the women he fell for.
Hana always told her she was quite the maso…
It was the truth probably.
"Ne, Shizune?"
"H-hai?"
"Should we just dunno, stay here and you survey the area with your chakra?"
"Sure, Kakashi…"
She could feel his arm sneaking around her as they sat down and tried to fight the warm tingle she always felt with him.
"Are you okay? You seem so…down, lately?", he asked her a lazy smirk, she was sure, present under his mask.
"It's nothing, really…Um…how is it going with you and Hana lately?"
"Hana? Well I think she's going out with Kotetsu at the moment…after I told her I…kind of liked another woman."
The familiar pain erupted in the brunette's chest and made her heart feel heavy.
Why? Why did she always do this to herself?
"A-another woman?"
"Yeah…she really nice and sometimes a bit shy around me…but she's the most selfless person that I know. She doesn't care about herself but is always there for me. It took me quite some time to realize but…I think I love her."
Shizune gulped and fought the tears that were willing to come.
"Sh-she sounds wonderf-ful…what's her name, maybe I know her?"
Kakashi chuckled.
"I think you know her pretty well…"
"Okay…?"
Kakashi turned around and grinned at her.
"Silly woman."
The brunette's breathing stopped when he bent down and gently kissed her.
"It's you, of course."
"Haha, Kakashi-sensei will see! I won't only protect the camp but you, too, Hinata-chan! Dattebayo!"
Naruto grinned at the pretty dark-haired girl, who had a heavy blush on her cheeks.
"H-hai, Naruto-kun, I-I'm sure."
The hyperactive nin continued grinning at her while his thoughts went wondering off.
Then he came to a conclusion.
They were alone, now and nobody would interrupt them for sometime, so it's the perfect moment to ask, right? Right.
"Ne, Hinata-chan?"
"Y-yeah?"
The blonde watched her and couldn't help but notice how pretty Hinata looked when she blushed.
Gosh, she was so preeetttyyyyy.
Maybe even prettier than Sakura?
"I have a question, you know…"
He scratched the back of his neck slightly uncomfortable now.
"Y-yes…?"
"Well…yeah…you know some people…told me something…they told me that you…and me…yoou know…you like…um…are in love with…me?"
At the end his voice was a mere whisper anticipating the answer.
And again Hinata's face flushed in such a cute color.
Preeeeettttyyyy. Did he already say that?
When she didn't seem to answer he pressed a bit further.
"Is it true, Hinata-chan?"
"W-w-well…um…i-it is…", the raven tried to hide her embarrassed face behind her bangs but was interrupted by a blond idiot pulling her onto his lap.
"Wow, that's awesome! When we're back from this mission, do you like want to go to Ichiraku or something?"
His eyes sparkled with excitement.
"S-sure, Naruto-kun."
That was how Sasuke found Naruto and Hinata when he wanted to return to the camp.
He quickly snatched his bag and disappeared between the trees again.
He heard Naruto shouting after him but frankly he didn't care.
Seeing those two…together…had made the pain even worse.
Sakura…Sakura…Sakura!
His hands shook.
He needed her. He was addicted to her and it hurt.
The young man had finally been able to form a stable bond again and then it just had to turn around and bite him in the ass.
Sasuke's back ached as he slid down a tree.
But he didn't care.
It didn't matter.
Nothing mattered anymore. Except her.
Kakashi had been the one to find him. It hurt the older man to see his student like this.
But he also knew better than to dwell in pity and hurt in times like this.
"Sasuke. We're coming here in 2 minutes and head towards the hideout. No stops anymore."
"Aa…", the raven whispered, clearly with his mind elsewhere.
The copy nin sighed.
"Get a grip, Sasuke! First is this a mission and second do we surely need you to get Sakura. Straighten up we're leaving soon."
"Sure, Kakashi."
When they did head out Sasuke kept his issues on a lash and everything was just…peachy…
Except of course that the raven wanted to rip his head off due to the general lovey-dovey mode everyone seemed to in on this mission
The six hour journey was cut short to a five hour journey, thanks to Sasuke.
It was quiet most of the time, leaving Sasuke alone with his thoughts.
He hated himself for it but he could feel his hope growing and growing with each step he took towards the hideout.
When they did arrive Naruto and him were the first to storm the hideout.
Only to discover it completely empty.
Something inside Sasuke shattered.
Again.
Sakura lightly jumped from branch to branch.
They had left two days earlier because some spy or something informed Kabuto that Konoha shinobi were heading towards them.
Truth to be told, she was kind of glad that they didn't encounter them.
She wasn't ready to face her friends.
The rosette didn't hate them, by no means.
It was just the village they served.
The village that just decided to kill the love of her life.
Now it was Naruto's turn to go look for Sasuke.
Sighing he made his way through the bushes and searched for his best friend, who had again disappeared after they got that Sakura wasn't here.
Finally he found him, slumped down under a tree, a bottle in his hand.
Wait, was that alcohol he smelled?
"Sasuke?"
"Wh't, Nar'to?", the raven slurred.
Fuck, that dumbass was drunk!
Steadying him, Naruto helped him stand up.
Sasuke couldn't do much alone right now.
"Y'now what…"
"What Sasuke?"
The blond caught him before he could crash down.
"I…r'ly luv her…"
Naruto's eyes turned sad.
"I know."
What should I say? maybe something along the lines of 'FUCK PROOFREADING' I'm too lazy:D I probably need a beta controlling my spelling and such:D
OMG more pairings!;D and they didn't meet DDD: Ughh I hate myself for hurting my babies D':
AND I THINK THAT NARUTO AND HINATA ARE FUCKING CUTE *_*
Anyway! Review, my loves!
