Chapter Twenty-One: True Love's Sacrifice
Keiko continued running as fast as she could go while she removed her motorcycle helmet and tossed it on the ground. "It's hopeless,.." she began while heaving a heavy sad sigh. "There's no way that I'm going to make it back to Naruto and Sakura in time!" she said to herself. "Unless,.." she realized before placing two of her fingers in between her teeth and whistling loudly. A few seconds later her magic carpet was diving down out of the sky straight towards her.
"Come on!" she cried while leaping on top of it. "We have to go find Naruto and Sakura, this is an emergency!" she exclaimed before the magic carpet took off with her riding on top of it. Meanwhile Sasuke and Orochimaru were just starting to face each other.
"Get ready to breathe your last Sasuke Uchiha!" Orochimaru yelled before he started doing hand signs and then biting his thumb he performed the summoning jutsu and before he knew it a gigantic snake was suddenly chasing after him. Sasuke quickly avoided the snake and tried to fight back when eventually Keiko finally made it back to Naruto and Sakura and dismounted her magic carpet.
"Where's Naruto? You guys both have to come back with me immediately!" she cried.
"Why, what's wrong Keiko?" Sakura wondered.
"Sasuke-Kun's in trouble! Orochimaru has him!" she exclaimed as Sakura's eyes widened in horror and disbelief.
"Oh my goodness!" she cried.
…..
Sasuke finally had had enough. He grabbed ahold of his right wrist with his left hand and a ball of Chidori was starting to form inside of his palm. Orochimaru just simply heaved a heavy sigh before grabbing ahold of one of his wrists and turning it around three hundred and sixty degrees and breaking all of his bones inside of it making Sasuke shriek out in pain.
"You disappoint me Sasuke. As if your little Chidori trick was really going to work on me." He said.
"After all, you're dealing with somebody who's immortal." He told him with a sneer.
"Leave him alone!" Sakura snapped while she, Naruto, and Keiko quickly dismounted the carpet and headed straight towards Orochimaru. Keiko's eyes turned white and while glaring at the slithering serpent she instantly stopped its heart and killed it.
"You little brat!" Orochimaru snapped before he turned around and started chasing after her but that's when suddenly Sasuke leapt out in front of him and stopped him.
"Please don't hurt her." He pleaded. "Take me instead." He said while heaving a heavy sad sigh.
"No Sasuke! Don't!" Sakura exclaimed while she widened her eyes in complete and utter horror.
"I'm sorry Sakura, but I have to, it's the only way to save Keiko. After all, I'm the one that you wanted all along right?" he questioned him when suddenly Orochimaru grabbed him by the throat and slowly hoisted him up into the air.
"You're a fool Sasuke Uchiha!" he exclaimed. That's when suddenly Keiko felt her eyes being flooded with tears.
"Sasuke-Kun!" she sobbed. "No, don't, leave him alone!" she hollered.
"Why in the world would you be willing to give up your life for a whiny little bitch like her?" Orochimaru wondered before Sasuke took a deep breath while at the same time trying to restrain himself from choking.
"Because I love her." He began. "And love is something that you can never even begin to understand." He told him before he felt himself being flung up against a tree. That's when all of a sudden Keiko felt her eyes turning red.
"Leave him alone!" she hollered angrily.
"Stay out of this Keiko." Sasuke warned. "Otherwise he'll kill you don't you get that!?" he hollered while Orochimaru turned his head over to look at her. Keiko's eyes changed from devilish red to dark blue and she started to cry while she hung her head in sorrow.
"Any last words Sasuke Uchiha?" Orochimaru questioned while Sasuke slowly lifted his head and then turned it over to look at Sakura.
"Sakura, I'm so sorry please forgive me." He pleaded. "I love you." He told her before he felt his head drop down onto the ground once again and with that tears started rolling down Sakura's cheeks as Orochimaru started draining his chakra.
"I love you too Sasuke." She began. "I've always had and I always will." She assured him. A few moments later Sasuke's body became lifeless and that's when Keiko found that she couldn't control herself any longer. Her eyes turned red again and she levitated Orochimaru straight off of the ground.
"Wait, stop, what are you doing you stupid little girl!?" he hollered on the top of his lungs before she angrily threw him out of the hidden leaf village and straight towards Sasuke's dead body.
Alright first of all, YuiHeart if you're reading this you aren't allowed to give any spoilers! Second of all, I'm sorry that this chapter was extremely short but my head is sort of bothering me right now for one,.. and for two,.. we only have two more chapters to go until the end so there isn't going to be as much but the last two will be a bit longer.
