AN: Sorry for the wait and im even sorrier if this and the next chapter are sucky.I was having trouble getting people to double check my checks. have fun and and ill update soon
Here is a flash back of the ending:
Sakura and the two entered the house. The room that they stood in was at least 3 ½ of the floors and was the size three basket ball courts side by side. A set of large spiral stairs sat in the middle of the room. It was the width of four people wide. The floor was a dark blood red color wood. The walls were a beige color. A large crystal chandler filled the open space hanging from the ceiling lighting every floor level to their point.
There was a door frame on both the three sides. They were double framed and matched the hardwood floors. Gaara went into the left side door to find a plain room. It was 3 times as big as the corridor. The floor, like the corridor, was dark blood red colors wood. The walls were painted white with a hint of age. Along the far back wall was a stage. A grand piano sat in the center of the stage with one of every instrument surrounding around behind it. There was one large chandelier hung in the center with small wall chandeliers along the walls. On the far left was a large wall window that took up 2/3 of the wall. Dark red vale, dark brownish-red silk, and very thick blackish-red velvet curtains hung there. The curtains were pulled back in a fancy look.
Neiji entered the room to the right side of the corridor with the floor filling the room too. The room was about 1 ½ of the corridor's size. Burnt looking pictures line the walls. On the right wall was a wall size window that took up 3/4s the wall, with dark red vale, dark brownish-red silk, and very thick blackish-red velvet curtains hung to the sides of it in a fancy look. A rich dark red paint covered the walls that showed their age just enough. Matching furniture filled the room. They were all special hand crafted to match the walls with the wood decorations that matched the dark wood floor. 12 seater couches lined the walls with a coffee-night-stand table in between each one as well as in between the door frame sides and the first couch on either side. A long booth-like-coffee table went around the room lining the couches. Three seater couches line that facing the walls. Long their backs were love seats. The in between tables were the width of the two wrap-around-rows. Another wrap around booth-like-coffee table lined that with single chairs lining that facing the wall. The couches left an aisle along the way to the chairs, and wrapped around the rows but left enough room for three people if needed.
Sakura walked along the corridor and sat on the stair case lazily and looked up. On the ceiling was a painting. Of two young children. Their backs facing each other but looked just like the fountain but in paint-glued pieces. Gaara and Neiji soon joined her as Neiji said
"Who ever owned this house must have really loved that water fountain statue."
"They went based on the fountain… they were based on real children. It was said that they were god and goddess that were sent to this village to be their heir and guide them for all eternity and even into immortality." Sakura sat up and went to the last room with the males together.
The floor turned into tikki but with the same color. The room was the same size as three of the three rooms before in width and length and as tall as three stories. A table went along its and wrapped around the room (much like the room Neiji had entered) until the center which had a huge large table that sat in the center of them. The wood was a black with red table cloth with dark blue embroidery. The embroidery was of two trees rooted together in the center of the table. Food laid on the top of it hiding a large some of them. Places were set all along it as if the guests would come soon. A Japanese door was on the far back wall. The two sides were full wall windows with the lower center piece a Japanese door made of nothing but diamonds and colored gems. A porch patio laid on either side.
The design of the patios was the two children that filled the house that was seen. The left one had the boy. He had looked sad to face with tears streaming down his face. He was reaching towards room as though reaching out for something or someone. The right was the girl doing the same. Thin threads of gold and silver and ruby intertwined and webbed around the room. Small old fashioned candle holders hung scattered on those thin strands only a small handful of them were light to give just enough light to see. The ceiling was split in half. The front half was like the corridor's ceiling and the back half was a huge sheet of glass. In the center of the glass about the size of the corridor was a glass wall frame with what looked like what had once been water but was now green and moldy. The part that was left showed a twilight filled sky.
The three went around and through the door to find the same wood. It was about the size as the corridor. Their were no windows, pictures or anything that would have shown life. It was plain white. It was a white that you can only get when something is brand new. A Clean white that is as though nothing had ever touched it not even the hands of time. Every thing was made with stainless silver. The lights were as though they were built up into the wall in rows hanging down just enough to change the light which looked to be candles and lots of them, all lit. the left wall had a huge sink that took most of the wall and large dishwashers lined along under them. A garbage disposal resided in the corner with the mouth and door at the top. Along the back wall were stove tops of all kinds grills on the top half and ovens along the bottom. Refrigerators and freezes lined the side wall. The wall that was around them had cupboards, selves and hooks. In the center was a huge island on the far left side a good foot from the counter sink was a small go table with two rocking chairs on either side.
Gaara, Neiji and Sakura came back into the corridor as Neiji said
"And here I thought I had everything a house could offer." Gaara nodded. As Sakura went up the stairs gliding her hands along the rail.
"Someone has been taking care of this place." The two guys followed only to run into her Gaara grawled
"Why did you stop like that Saku-chi?" Saku-chi was what the two decided to call her on missions and was the only thing that she would allow. A dark voice growled
"What do you think your doing here?" Neiji at seeing who it was quickly said
"We came to see family… We were trying to find Saku-c..." Sakura whispered
"How long have you been here?" Naruto thought for a moment then said
"It is non of your business…"
"HOW LONG…WHAT RIGHT DO YOU HAVE TO BE HERE?" Sasuke growled
"We came here because it is the only building…" Tears grew at her eyes as Sei held a small bokken in his hand. With "blade" was ingraved in some old calligraphy of some dead laungage.
"PUT THAT DOWN NOW!" Neiji and Gaara stared at her shocked as did the three boys in front of the them. Naruto said
"What did you two do to her?"
"WHAT…" Sasuke growled
"We were given this place to stay at."
"BY WHO!"
"By the leader of a local….." just then a man entered. They all turned to see this man. As he said
"Sorry we were late to help around here… seems like you fixed the fountain. His hair was tightly in a skin-thin type of fabric. His skin a light peach color yet slightly flushed. Naruto chirped very loudly
"I hope you don't mind but some of our friends have came to visit." Sakura fell back only to be caught by all five of the guys that stood around her. Her Breathe came quick.
"It can't be…. Natsu…?" The man turned and looked at the group. He froze as a group of guys entered with ten females under some of the groups arms. They stopped and looked at the man. One of the girls went to touch him and said
"Baby.. what's wrong?" she turned to look at the group. As Sakura said
"But this cant be…how…your…" Sakura kept stumbling over the same words until Neiji covered her mouth making them muffles. The woman turned to them
"and how do you know my…." the man half laughed
"Your asking me that… you're the one announced died.."
"cover up… how…." Sakura fell to the step as the group around her froze in confusion
"I could have swore the house was on fire… so how is any of this possible?" the guys said
"We rebuilt it by using the descriptions he told us about the village." Sakura looked at them as they added "Naruto, Sei and Sasuke helped us." Sakura turned to them. Then back at the group. Natsu then said
"Wh…" A tall man with red hair and black eyes stepped in saying
"Whats with the road bl…." The mans eyes went wide and he said
"Natsu am I seeing things?"
"No I don't think so…"At that the man ran and Picked Sakura up spinning heraround as a young woman said
"Hotaru… what on earth… are you cheating on me?" He was about to put her down when Sakura wrapped her arms around his neck and barried her face in his shoulder length hair and whispered
"You look like dad but with short hair…" he pulled her back and was about to speak when he froze. Sakura stood there tears pouring down her face. And turned to her friends
"We leaving now.." Neiji said
"And the mission?"
"over…"
"But…"
"The kids will get over it… lets go now." Gaara and Neiji stared at each other then turned to her and followed after turning to the three males. Naruto said
"Why?" Sakura froze with her hand on the door
"It was a mistake that we came… I…." Natsu said
"Why you can help us find our parents." The two stopped and looked at her and the two boys.
"You'll always will be looking… I wont show you where they are and I don't think the only other two who would know would remember it. Gaara.. Neiji!" the two stood for a moment. Hotaru stood frozen as Natsu growled
"And why not?" Sakura closed her eyes and said angrily
"I shouldn't and wont tell you my own business." Natsu whipped her around as he said
"We have just as much right to know as you do!" the second he saw he he froze. Tears fell down her face.
"No because you weren't there… you left me alone that not…. I had to see what happened with out you! You weren't there to see the flamed consumed houses…" Gaara went and held her as she continued voice raising louder and louder "YOU WEREN'T THERE TO SEE THE GROUND WATERED WITH NOTHING BUT BLOOD…" She hugged her self as she said "YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO FEEL IT AGAINST YOUR SKIN. YOU WERENT THERE TO…" Sakura shock her head violently. Hotaru said
"What happened to …to our little Kasumi?" Sakura ignored her and screamed,
"YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO SEE THEM… YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO SEE MOMS PEARLLY WHITE SKIN COVERED AND DRINCHED IN BLOOD… NOR DAD'S HEAD ROLLING DOWN THE HILL UNTIL IT HIT YOU FEET…. ….SO DON'T GIVE ME NON OF YOUR BULL SHIT NAT…" Natsu and Hotaru, everyone froze. Everyone but Sasuke who went and said
"I thought you had promised not to bring that up again Sakura." Everyone turned to Sasuke who looked died at her as she said
"Itachi and you were the ones who broke the promise Sasuke." Natsu turned to Sasuke and said
"You knew who she was yet you said nothing to us?"
"I told you that I was not going to go and ruin what little was left of her like you two had. That was what I said… I didn't say she was died." Hotaru said
"Nor did you tell us that she were alive." Naruto said
"Because he knew what you would have done… We knew…but we promised not to talk about it." Neiji and Gaara glared at them and said
"Well at least you three did something right!" the three growled and glared at the two. Natsu and Hotaru went speachless and stared at them. Hotaru turned to Sasuke and said
"You knew what she meant to us Sasuke… if you had told us what happened we would have let her be." Sasuke said
"Would you have really? After all of that searching, all of that time spent at her fake grave would you have really left her be?" Natsu turned to her wanting to speak but didn't. Tears fell from her eyes as she clung on to Gaara. Naruto
"Why don't you guys stay for dinner… im sure you hadn't eaten right for months."
"Weeks is more like it… maybe a month at most. Sakura made sure of that." Sakura let the guys lead her to the dinning room until she reached the the door frame
"Where were you two that night?" Natsu went up to her and gave her a small box saying "to get this." Then he went into the dinning room with the shocked group following behind. Hotaru sadly went pasted her with out even looking up. The guys left her there to follow into the other room dragging Gaara behind them. Once she was alone she opened the wrapped box.
