You all must be very proud of me! I finally updated! I haven't gone missing yet! WWWOOOOOHOOO!
-cough- anywho...here's another part!
Shikamaru sighed heavily. I need to hold out a little longer… I just wonder what is taking Sakura and Naruto so long to get to them.
Tamari glared at the boy in front of her.
Both of there arms were crossed seeming to adjust to each of their moods. "Why not let me go? I could convince Gaara not to do anything to your fellow ninja," she said a couple of times but only to get the response of silence or a "no".
The sun was high in the sky with birds chirping, ignoring the scene below them as a boy struggled with vines and ropes that still knotted around him.
Naruto pulled at ropes, tried to cut them with some of his kunai, but failed each time as more kept coming.
"Ugh! What the hell is with this trap?" He squirmed and tried to reach for an explosive seal. "GOD, THIS BETTER WORK!"
He placed the seal farthest from him and concentrated as the paper started to shimmer.
Sakura paced back and forth, trying to spot her enemy within the shadows of the forest. "You must come out some time! Your injury isn't going to get any better, ya' know!"
Nothing moved within the depths, but chuckles gave the master away. He was giggling about Sakura's horrible comeback. Kankurou regretted his little out break and jumped from his spot unable to keep up the hoax. His puppet followed suit and leaned against Kankurou. "I'm out. What difference is it going to make if you lose anyway? I would like to see you try and beat me."
Sakura smirked to herself. "Well, then. Since you are out matched, why don't we make this a fair fight? Hmm?" She dropped the kunai she held and untied her sack of weapons. "Hand on hand combat. Simple enough for you right?"
"Tsk." He glared at her. "Fine. Have it your way." He let his puppet fall with his knives.
Sasuke winced. The sand was starting to cut into his skin. "What are you getting at? You sonofabitch!"
Gaara just chuckled and made the sand pierce into Sasuke's chest leaving a giant slash. Sasuke cursed under his breath as blood was drawn from his flesh.
"This is just a punishment. You should be aware of that." His eyes held sadistic power as he ripped the remains of Sasuke's shirt from the boy's arms. "I'll create a master piece on your flesh." He scanned his canvas. "This will just be a reminder of just who you belong to." Gaara smirked and placed his hand onto Sasuke's chest.
Naruto now dangled from one leg. "Yes! Finally!" He bent upward (or downward…what ever makes you happy) and tugged at the single vine that held his leg. "Now time to catch up!" He dropped from the limbs of the tree and searched for Sasuke's sent.
Sakura danced with Kankurou. They hadn't decided yet on who was going to throw the first punch.
"Is it that you're scared? Hmm? Or are you just stalling?" He smirked. "I don't need to catch up to anyone." He stood still.
"Or maybe you're just too afraid of what that Gaara kid will do to you once you find him."
Kankurou cursed under his breath and aimed for the girls face. "I'll teach you to taunt me!"
He punched but only hit air as the girl quickly dodged and went for the counter attack. "Too slow!"
Shikamaru released his jitsu on Tamari. "I give in." He glared at the girl who stood frozen. "Are you not going to save your precious ninja?"
Tamari nodded not wanting to stay and find out why he just decided to give in. She ran into the trees and disappeared from Shikamaru's sight.
"Troublesome," he sighed.
Sasuke slouched, breathing heavily.
"Hmm. I was wondering when you'd give up." Gaara licked his blood stained hand. "This was so much more pleasing. I'm glad you didn't fight." He stared at his art.
"Bastard!" Sasuke spat. His heart still raced as more blood pooled from his back.
Gaara sat on the ground admiring his masterpiece. He chuckled every now and again, lost in his thoughts. Sasuke cringed at the boy's laughter. Every time his voice echoed through the forest, the sand would shift in his wound causing more pain to flow through his body.
After a couple of minutes, Gaara stood and crossed the open plane to his canvas. "I wonder what would happen," he pondered to himself.
"Don't even think about it, Teme!" Sasuke challenged.
Gaara smirked and lifted the boy by his limbs. "I'm not thinking. I'm just simply enjoying." He nuzzled the boys neck wrapping his arms around Sasuke's slim body.
Sasaki squirmed, but failed in his attempt to escape the other boy's grasp.
"It's no use." Gaara smirked." You're mine."
