Chapter 9: Realizations and schemes
"Sakura... please stop."
"He heh… do not worry it will be all over soon…."
Sakura gasped as she opened her eyes and woke up in a cold sweat. She tried to move but her hands were tied together and she found herself bound to one of the poles in a tent. She was confused, scared, and annoyed; she was getting sick of being tied up, she struggled against the restraints but failed she jumped when she saw someone enter. It was Sasuke. His face looked tired yet wary as he looked at Sakura, he looked like he had no sleep and his clothes were a bit messed up. She noticed that he had a few cuts on his face. She frowned and glared at him,
"Hey why am I tied in your tent? And what happened to your face? Why are you looking at me like that Sasuke? "
Sakura practically shouted though the last part was a bit hushed as she saw the look of surprise and wariness in his eyes, like she was an enemy
"Hn. You don't remember anything do you? Tch, you're so annoying."
He said in an even yet slightly disbelieving voice as he sat down and frowned, Sakura slowly shook her head though shortly images from her dream came flashing in her mind's eye; it was of her attacking Sasuke, she had a shocked expression on her face,
"D-did I do that to you? No… I could not have… the dream; it was real… no no it could not be…"
Sakura whispered as she shook her heads and winced as she felt the curse seal burn as if answering her question, Sasuke's jaw tightened and he went over to Sakura a determined, worried look on his face,
"Calm down… look I'm fine, just a scratch that's all. You really don't remember? Hm… well yes you attacked me while I was coming back from the lake and I must say I am slightly impressed, you almost cut my head off, almost being the key word in that sentence."
Sasuke added a bit teasingly though his face was still serious as he flashed back to last night,
'Sakura… why does that name ring a bell… Sakura, Sakura, Sakura?' Sasuke's thoughts were cut short when he saw the girl he was thinking about standing in front of him with a hunting knife and strange markings on her body. She had an evil, crazed look as she giggled and ran at him making a slash to wipe his head off but luckily Sasuke had lightning fast reflexes and was able to block it. His face was shocked as he stepped back and stared at Sakura, he then had a look of horror as he noticed the markings and the yellow tint in her eyes, he glared,
"Sakura… please stop."
"He he he…. Don't worry it will only hurt for a second, Sazu."
She purred as she attacked him, he was a bit caught off guard as he heard his nickname and suddenly it clicked, he knew who this girl was and why she was so familiar. He wanted to tell her but he was too busy dodging her uppercut, he sighed as he jumped back then behind her then pressing a pressure point in her neck knocked her out. He stood over her unconscious body, a look of surprise, relief, and worry appeared on his face, the girl was Princess Sakura, his childhood friend.
Sakura looked at her feet and then looked back up at Sasuke,
"I'm sorry…. I-I don't remember any of that… wait, how do you know my name?"
Sakura asked as she remembered that he called her Sakura last night and she struggled against the rope again but it held, Sasuke sighed as he leaned back, he looked at her and debated on whether or not to tell her what he discovered last night.
"She looks like Sakura, same eyes and hair though her attitude is slightly changed and she does not seem to remember me at all…. Maybe it's not her… I will have to see."
Sasuke thought as he shrugged and smirked,
"Hn."
"Damn it Sasuke, answer my question!"
"I don't know… I just guessed and by your reaction my guess is right that's all, don't get so worked up Pinky."
Sasuke said in a bored tone as Sakura huffed and looked away from him, she had the same pout and annoyed expression on her face like the Sakura from his childhood but perhaps this was just a mere coincidence. Sakura sighed and looked over at Sasuke and saw a flash of some memory but it was too quick to understand the meaning, she just saw a younger boy and girl playing in a garden,
"You are really annoying you know that? I'm hungry can you please untie me?
Sakura said in an annoyed voice as she fidgeted a bit, Sasuke had an evil smirk on his face and took out a plate of food in front of her. Sakura looked at the food then the expression on his face a disturbed expression on her face as she realized what he was going to do,
"Don't even think about- mhmph! SASUKE!"
Sakura chocked out as the food was stuffed in her mouth, she coughed a bit and glared at him which made Sasuke grin even more as he leaned back, though she would never admit it out loud she kind of enjoyed him feeding her,
"Hn? What? You said you were hungry right?"
"Yes! But I wanted to be UNTIED FIRST YOU BAKA!"
Sakura shouted as her eye twitched a bit and she tried to break free again but to no avail, Sasuke sighed and shrugged,
"Hn, sorry Pinky you just tried to kill me a few hours ago, if I untie you, you might try it again. So, I think for the time being we keep you tied. Now Sakura,"
Sasuke paused and leaned in close to Sakura so that their noses were touching, Sakura's cheeks had a slight flush to them at the close proximity of their faces. Sasuke had a triumphant smile on his face as he brushed some hair from her face and leaned in closer,
"Eat up."
Sasuke whispered as he dumped the rest of the bowl on her head then pulled back and laughed at her shock then her anger at her own weakness, Sasuke having his fun decided to let her go. He went behind her and untied her but as soon as he did he received a punch to the face which caused him to go flying out the flaps of the tent, he landed on the ground and groaned, Naruto saw this and knelt down next to his friend a teasing smirk on his face,
"Having trouble Teme?"
"Shut up Dobe."
"HA! DON'T MESS WITH ME CHICKEN ASS!"
Sakura shouted as she emerged from the tent clenching her wrists a pissed and oatmeal covered, Sasuke glared and rubbed his jaw as he stood up, Naruto was laughing hard,
"Hn. Your annoying Sakura."
He muttered as he tried to recover his pride and walked out heading to the training area to try and to take out his annoyance with her out on the dummy instead of the real thing as well as to think about some things. Sakura's eye twitched as she stuck her tongue out at Sasuke's back and stomped in the other direction while wiping the oatmeal off her head.
Naruto and Hinata watched the whole thing and looked at each other and shrugged, Naruto sighed as he sat down and took a sip of ale,
"N-Naruto-kun, do you think those two like each other?"
Hinata whispered as she sat next to him and had a thoughtful expression on her face, Naruto's eyebrow raised a bit and he had a confused look on his face then he started laughing,
"Ha ha ha, your funny Hina-chan! Sasuke and Ayame? Those two are like cats and dogs. No way, they hate each other."
Naruto assured and nodded as he picked up his ramen bowl and began slurping loudly; Hinata sighed and shook her head,
"I-I-I d-don't k-know I-I t-think t-there's s-something between those two."
Hinata said in a slightly hesitant voice and Naruto looked at her then he had a thoughtful expression on his face then he had a mischievous smile on his face and he got real close to Hinata's face which caused the girl to blush deeply,
"Heh, you may be on to something Hina-chan. Now that I think about it when Ayame was kidnapped Sasuke seemed really worried and angry, hmm… heh what do you say we play matchmaker Hina-chan? You and me together will make those two fall in love, how about that?"
Naruto said excitedly as Hinata giggled and nodded seeing how having Naruto this close made her even more nervous than she usually was. Naruto smiled widely and pumped his fists in the air and held Hinata's hand,
"All right! Lets get to planning, Operation Cupid is in effect! Dattebayo!"
Naruto shouted as he jumped up with Hinata and hugged her making the girl pass out which delayed the planning process a bit. Unknown to the four teens they were being watched by a four pairs of yellow eyes that narrowed then disappeared into the darkness of the forest.

((As promised, here is a snippet of Behind Blue eyes))
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
The wind blew gently through the trees causing the leaves to tumble to the ground in a whirlwind of reds, yellows, and orange, only to be crushed by the feet of a lone walker on a nippy autumn morning—The figure was Naruto Uzamaki, age 17, orphan, an outcast— Naruto, for as long as he could remember has been a drifter, having no real place to call home. He would switch foster parents every few weeks because each one could not handle his prankster and rebellious antics so he would find himself shipped off to another home, with another 'family'… his parents died when he was very young and ever since he has never felt what it was like to be loved or have a family; someone to help him through the bad times which was pretty much every day of his life since his parents strange death which happened shortly after his birth and when the nine tailed fox demon destroyed the Leaf Village. Ever since then the name 'Demon Boy' began circulating and stuck to him like gum in hair or mud on a pig, he did not know why people called him that or looked at him like he was trash and a monster… in his mind he did nothing wrong, he was just a kid, after all how could he be a monster?
