I'm back!
I bet you thought I would never update! Well, contrary to popular belief, I am not dead. I was just suffering from a major case of writer's block. And you thought authors were perfect…
Disclaimer: Nope.
Song to Listen To on Repeat:
They All Fall Down by SR-71
Sakura felt the blow hit her like the proverbial ton of bricks. Gaara…no…the creature that looked like Gaara cackled.
"Foolish girl! It'll never work…you're better off just giving up!"
"Sakura," called Naruto, "don't do it! He'll kill you!"
"Naruto, don't worry about me! Take Sasuke to Kakashi! I can handle this!"
Sasuke woke to see Naruto kneeling beside him.
"What…? Naruto…!"
Naruto clapped a hand over his mouth. "Sasuke, Sakura's got it! She told me to get you to Kakashi."
"No, stay here with Sakura! He'll slaughter her!"
Naruto ignored him, and picked him up. "No can do, Sasuke. Don't worry about Sakura. She'll handle it. And I'll come back anyway, so don't be stupid and strain yourself trying to help."
While the chaos reigned outside, Gaara was ranting and tearing away at the demon's control from within.
Shukaku! We had a deal!
Dream on, kid. This is for your own good.
Shukaku! Let her go! You know nothing, you damn tanuki!
I know plenty, kid. I'll tell you now that love brings nothing but trouble.
Let her go!
No.
LET HER GO!
The demon flinched, both outwardly and inwardly.
I'm sorry, kid. I have to do this. Both our lives depend on it.
"Gaara!"
Sakura tried desperately to break away from the sand's grip. It tightened, and she let out a cry of pain.
"Gaara! Please, stop this!"
"Sorry, girl. This is for the good of us all."
The beast moved to crush her, only to be attacked from within.
Sakura watched the beast's fce contort in pain, and let out a weak smile.
"Gaara…"
The cliffhangers…make them stop… (cries)
Nah, I'll have another one out soon, I promise.
